The Lion King 2 is the only sequel media that's allowed to make the former main character a kinda bad parent bcs that's the only time it's been done right. This sounds insane but LoK wishes it had what The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride did.
Anyway the REASON it gets a pass is because it actually grounds Simba's bad parenting in things that it would make sense for him to be worried about or reactive too based on the trauma he's gone through, and on top of that he still gets to have a character arc despite not being the main character that follows from the character arc he had in the first movie.
I don't believe Aang was a bad father in the way the show said he was because it's contrary to his entire personality. Someone who helped form the Air Acolytes would never neglect his son because he's not a bender or his daughter because she's not an air bender. Just like I don't believe Luke "There Is Still Good In Vader" Skywalker would try to kill his nephew, it's contrary to his entire personality, Luke would not see his nephew any differently than he saw Anakin, especially when he hadn't yet done anything wrong while Vader had genocided half the galaxy and murdered a bunch of children.
I believe that Simba struggled to raise his daughter because he was overprotective BECAUSE he knows how fucking easy it is for someone to die in the savanna. It happened right in front of him. He also didn't get raised to adulthood with his parents so ofc he's not the best as knowing how to talk to his daughter or explain things to her, he got raised in the wilderness by two gay weirdos. Of course he's insanely hostile to outsiders including the lionesses that decided to follow Scar, Scar killed his dad and nearly caused a collapse of the local ecosystem. And during the course of the movie he has to actually come to terms with how he's letting his trauma control him and it's drive his daughter away. He gets to apologize and admit he was wrong, he gets to grow.
And yeah you could argue we don't really get to see Aang or Luke interacting with their families because that's not when the story is set but there are still ways to make sure your characterization is consistent, and I'd argue in cases like Aang and Luke where you don't get to see them when they were raising/interacting with their young families it's even more important for you to keep the characterization consistent because we don't get to see the character grow and change we just see where they started and where they ended up, so if you change too much it's gonna feel weird.
You can do the "they grew up to be bad and/or flawed parents/guardians" thing without it feeling like character assassination and for some reason The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride does it better than most media that tries it.
shane cockwarming ilya this, shane cockwarming ilya that… this fandom tends to forget that ilya is a throat goat and freaking loves to suck a dick, he swallows cause he “does not mind” (i.e. moans harder when shane cums down his throat than shane himself.. you know - the person cumming)
add to it that ilya loves resting his head in peoples laps, getting his hair played with.. and has an oral fixation
so what i am saying is that ilya loves, loves, LOVES! cockwarming shane - sometimes they just chill on the couch, watching a renovation show or a movie ilya isn’t particularly interested in so while he rests his head in shane’s lap he simply turns around, tugs shane’s sweats down and puts shane’s cock in his mouth
they stay like that for a long time, ilya gets all floaty and sleepy bc shane’s hand is stroking through his hair, lightly scratching at his scalp and his cock is in his mouth
when ilya gets antsy again he starts sucking him off and gets him to come quickly, swallowing at the end of course and goes back to cockwarming him if shane wants to continue watching his show
@kissingpractise you are right and should say it! a lot of how ilya’s attraction is described by a portion of the fandom is rooted in biphobia with heteronormative roles just glommed on top of it all
Going back on my Cliff Marleau/Jane bullshit from a couple of posts ago:
Marleau having a one night stand with a puck bunny and he doesn’t ask her name until the next morning and she just kind of smirks and says “Jane. Tell Rozanov I said hi.” Cliff just turns white as a ghost and has a total meltdown thinking he just slept with his best friend’s girlfriend.
He acts weird for weeks before Ilya snaps at him to tell him what’s going on and he just shouts “I SLEPT WITH JANE!” and then immediately cowers. Like fully fetal position covering his face in case Roz started immediately wailing on him.
Ilya’s like “…what” and asks a couple of clarifying questions and once he realizes his friend did not in fact sleep with Shane he laughs so loudly the room shakes and Cliff is just kind of staring at him with tears in his eyes and a relieved watery smile.
Parasites don’t care when they kill the host.
So many people misinterpreting Hayden and Ilya's relationship as though Hayden isn't the funniest person to wind up. As though in order to do that you don't have to have an underlying affection for him. Ilya says Hayden is the 15th best metro not because it's true but because it's not. Just like Shane's backhand isn't weak and he isn't a fast skater. Hayden has been Shane's wing for years, in addition to being his best friend. He is obviously very good at hockey. Hayden just falls for the trap every time.
The jokes Ilya makes about Hayden's million kids is because Ilya 1) loves those kids and 2) also want kids of his own. Hayden is in the position of shovel talk giving best friend, who is so so SO annoyed to actually like his bff's new boyfriend. They are in-laws who pretend not to get along but are ride or die for each other. Their bickering is a bit. It's their love language. How is this hard to understand when Shane and Ilya bicker all the time and Shane takes the piss out of Hayden as well.

it’s november and ilya just moved to ottawa and the centaurs. shane finds out ilya is really ill- he got pneumonia on the road and has been put on bed rest for a week
and shane feels sick that ilya’s sitting at home, all alone, nobody to take care of him. he doesn’t have any close friends on his team yet, and even if he did, they’re playing hockey games and can’t be taking care of him.
shane looks at his schedule to see if he can make it home for a few days, but even with skipping optional practices he can’t be back in ottawa for more than 4 hours.
so shane enlists his mom to take care of ilya. (at this point, yuna and david aren’t super close with ilya as he just moved).
yuna is, of course, happy to help. she heads over with homemade soup and meal replacement shakes and an arsenal of over the counter medications for whatever symptoms ilya has.
when she shows up, she expects ilya is going to brush her off, tell her he’s fine and doesn’t need help, and she’s going to have to push herself in. but that’s not what happens at all.
when ilya answers the door, he looks HORRIBLE. and yuna immediately gets some food into him, changes his sheets and gets him into bed to lower his fever.
shane is texting his mom for updates every hour, and yuna is telling shane how sweet ilya is and how thankful he’s been. he doesn’t want to put her out but she can tell how tired and sick he is. they play some card games together and watch movies. yuna drives him to his checkup with the team doctor to make sure he’s progressing okay. he gets a lot better but is still a bit under the weather by the end of the week.
finally, it’s sunday and shane is driving to ottawa to relieve yuna. he speeds all the way there, anxious to see his boyfriend again. when he lets himself into ilya’s house, it’s eerily quiet.
“hello?” shane calls.
he hears yuna shushing him from the living room, and heads towards the sound.
he comes to find ilya asleep, curled up on his side with his head in yuna’s lap. she is running her hands through ilya’s hair soothingly.
shane immediately takes out his phone to grab a picture and tears up a little at the scene.
after that week, ilya and yuna are inseparable and have the sweetest bond- ilya always trying to do things for her to repay her, yuna treating him like another son since hers is further away.
jealousy jealousy
Shane was not a jealous person. Sure, he ribbed people about things and pretended to be jealous, but it just wasn’t something he ever really felt. He liked to think that he simply couldn’t feel that emotion.
Or so he thought.
Today, Shane and Ilya are doing a shoot together for Gymshark. A few months ago, they had been asked to become brand ambassadors, which they accepted because they wore Gymshark almost as much as they wore CCM. The shoot was going well, but Shane started feeling something he’d never felt before as he watched one of the set assistants flirt with Ilya.
He hated the way she smiled and tilted her head at him. The way she touched his arm while he was talking. She even winked at him as she left the set. Shane tried his hardest to keep it together, but he couldn’t shake the tension building inside him.
“You’re tense,” Ilya whispers to him as they pose in front of one of the racks. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I’m fine,” Shane responds, frustration evident in his voice.
“Ah, okay,” Ilya says, rolling his eyes.
They continue the shoot until the end. Shane says nothing to Ilya as they change and get ready for the formal dinner with everyone from the shoot, including Miss Flirts-With-My-Husband.
Shane drives them to dinner in silence, which Ilya seems quite confused about. He knows something is up with Shane, but he doesn’t want to kick the hornet’s nest just yet.
They walk into the restaurant and are seated at the same table as the assistant and a few other people. Shane sits next to Ilya, and she continues to flirt with him even as Shane sits right beside him.
As the night comes to a close, everyone says their goodbyes. Shane approaches Ilya and the woman he’s been glaring daggers at the entire night. When he reaches Ilya, he grabs him and kisses him hard.
“I’ll get the car,” he says against Ilya’s lips.
He steps back for a second and glares at the woman before walking toward the parking lot. Ilya is speechless as he watches him walk away. He turns back to the assistant, who is uncontrollably blushing.
“Um, yeah, my ride should be here. Lovely meeting you… and your husband. Um, yeah.”
She shakes his hand and practically sprints away from him.
The ride home is quiet. Shane is wound tight, and Ilya has a smug smirk on his face. He is ready to poke the hornet’s nest and see what happens.
“Was a good day,” Ilya says, breaking the heavy silence.
“Mhm,” Shane responds, still focusing on the road.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about you all day,” he continues. “Thinking about how good your thighs felt wrapped around my head last night, and how much you begged for me.”
Shane’s jaw clenches, and his knuckles turn white around the steering wheel. He presses harder on the gas, eager to get them home quicker.
“But I think the best part of the day was watching your control slip,” Ilya purrs, running his hand up Shane’s thigh, dangerously close to where he needs him.
Shane exhales hard, still trying to maintain his composure but quickly losing the battle. Ilya leans over the center console.
“Watching you mark your territory,” Ilya whispers in Shane’s ear. “Is the sexiest thing I’ve ever witnessed.”
Ilya unbuttons Shane’s pants, and Shane’s eyes nearly roll into the back of his head at the touch.
“Fuck,” Shane moans.
“Tell me, solnyshko. Did she make you jealous?”
“No,” Shane bites out.
“Liar. You are terrible liar.”
“Jesus Chri—” Shane whimpers.
Quickly, Shane pulls into their gated driveway and slams the car into park.
He tosses off his seatbelt and climbs over the center console into Ilya’s lap, rolling his hips against him. Ilya reclines his seat to give them a little more room.
Shane pulls him in for a filthy kiss. It’s hot and heavy, their breathing ragged and their teeth biting at each other’s lips.
Shane takes off his suit jacket and tosses it into the back seat before starting to unbutton Ilya’s shirt. The friction between them is heavenly, but Shane needs more. He runs his hands along Ilya’s bare chest, feeling his breath hitch beneath his touch.
“Please,” Shane says.
“Please what?”
“Let me,” Shane responds, kissing Ilya lightly.
“You can have all of me, sweetheart.”
Shane shifts closer, pulling his pants down and undoing Ilya’s. He shifts to give Shane more access and watches between them as Shane spits on his hand, and then takes both their cocks into his hand.
“Holy shit, fuck Shane,” Ilya groans as Shane massages them in at a steady pace.
Shane has never been religious but he thinks this is probably the closest he’ll ever get to heaven. Both of their cocks pulse in his hand and he knows they’re both getting close. He loves doing it like this. He loves when they’re both out of control with need. A need so strong that it outweighs anything else. Shane picks up the pace and jerks them harder until they’re both breathing, moaning messes.
His release hits him hard and he cries out Ilya’s name as he comes onto his husband’s abs. Ilya’s comes shortly after as he moans Shane’s name like a prayer.
They breathe in unison, fogging up the windows of the car. For a few moments, neither of them says anything. They simply sit there, catching their breath.
Then Shane grips Ilya by the hair and pulls him in for another kiss.
“If she ever looks - no, breathes- in your direction again, I’ll sic Sveta and Rose on her.”
Ilya laughs and kisses Shane’s neck.
“So sexy when you’re jealous. But you are my love, my solnyshko. I only have eyes for you. I didn’t realize how weird she was acting until you kissed me.”
Ilya sighs. “She probably actually could benefit from Sveta and Rose menacing her a little.”
Shane kisses him again before shifting off his lap.
“Good. You belong to me. You’re mine.”
“And you’re mine.”
Shane adjusts his pants and steps out of the car.
“I’ll be in bed waiting for you,” Shane says with a smirk.
Ilya laughs as he watches Shane walk into the house knowing damn well that after he walks Anya, he’s going to find his husband ready for the next round.
Jesus Christ. Ilya was done for.
I’ve been seeing some good takes on potential tense moments between Yuna and Ilya, even if it’s subconscious thoughts bleeding into reactions. I think Yuna would have some preconceived notions about Ilya to dismantle, and Ilya would have some childhood trauma that influences his reactions at times.
One thing that I immediately thought about was that headcanon where Ilya will say things like “don’t speak to my husband that way” to their kids when they have an attitude with Shane. I love the idea of that happening on occasion with Yuna . She is going on one of her business tangents (borderline lectures) with Shane where she says something along the lines of him needing to perform better at a sponsor shoot or Irina Foundation event, and Ilya is not having it. He tells her something along the lines of “I would appreciate it if you did not speak to my husband that way” and shuts the conversation down.
Yuna would be gagged, David would be a bit proud, and Shane would be a mix of grateful and turned on. When Yuna gets over feeling offended by the comment, I think she would also be a bit proud of him and happy that her son had a partner that will prioritize him.
My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.
As if Joanne couldn't get any shittier, she misgendered and insulted a woman who called for support, all because the woman had PCOS/PMOS and "didn't sound feminine enough."
Fuck her.
Your shitty children's series isn't more important than people's lives.
god i can't stop thinking about hollanov as parents. i think obviously they want to keep their kids out of the public eye as much as possible and they both don't want to post them online but with their first child (daughter of course), they're both so enamored with her, especially as she grows up. i think ilya especially likes to share little glimpses of fatherhood on his socials. here's a list of little dad things i think ilya would post:
of course a close up picture of their baby's hand holding a cup ring. it's probably the first picture ilya ever posts of her. he captions it: dynasty.
picture of shane with a burp cloth on one shoulder and spitup completely staining his other shoulder, holding a bottle and staring exhausted into the camera. probably captioned something like #dadlife
close up video of ilya's face, the top of his head visible, where a tiny little hand is pulling his curls and banging a rattle toy against him (baby hollanov is cooing and screeching) caption: my daughter thinks my head is a drum
video of hollanovling toddling up to ilya with a closed fist. ilya holds out his hand and says, "for me?" and she hands him a single macaroni noodle and babbles something incoherent. ilya responding, "oh...thank you sweetheart..😟"
video of shane on the deck of their house; outside is blanketed with snow and there is a giant snowbank off the deck. shane is repeatedly gently tossing their daughter into the snowbank. she is giggling wildly and kicking her little legs in the snow and going "dada again!!" shane is laughing and jumping into the snow too. anya is circling around them wagging her tail and licking their faces in the snow.
picture of anya with purple and pink marker scribbles on her face and muzzle. caption: daughter decided anya needed a makeover today, doesn't she look pretty!
picture of shane's hockey stick and helmet with dinosaur and rainbow stickers scattered across them. caption: someone decided to decorate their daddy's hockey gear. shane comments "the dinosaurs feel personal..."
Au where a Make a Wish little boy from Canada gets to spend an entire day with his favorite Hockey star Ilya Rozanov (he watches Ilya on Vine because Ilya has a Vine where he posts a lot of funny videos of himself and with the Raiders) and Ilya takes him to Build a Bear and the kid has /the audacity/ to dress his bear as Shane Hollander and he names him SHANE HOLLANBEAR and Ilya pretends to be offended but in a cute funny way and the little boy explains that his sister is a big fan of Shane and that when he is gone he wants his sister to have Shanebear to let her know he will always love her and that he is always taking care of her (he is terminally ill) and Ilya's heart breaks.
Ilya and the little boy then visit an arcade, and get ice cream, and go bowling and go to a trampoline park, and Ilya is spotted in all these places holding the Shane Hollanbear and all the shopping bags with the toys he bought fot the kid. Paparazzi find it hilarious Ilya is holding the Shane bear with so much love.
Obviusly he texts his Jane a photograph of the bear and once he is all alone at night he calls Shane and cries talking to him about the amazing kid he meet that day.
I adore that in the hospital Shane's heart rate goes down instead of up when he sees Ilya. I know a racing heart is common around someone you're attracted to but the lower bpm reads as him feeling so comfortable and safe that even his perpetually active sympathetic nervous system calms tf down. And this is when he's actively concussed with a broken bone btw!!! Holding Ilya's hand physically reduces Shane's stress so much his heart rate drops 20bpm and his oxygen saturation goes to 100%. That's insane. Forget whatever medications they had him on Ilya is his drug of choice for sure
#myilya has a reputation for being openly a giant gossip about other players. and like, not that that’s not canon, but there’s some faction of girls who are lesbians into hockey who call it for what dude bros never would - rozanov isn’t chirping just on the ice, he’s openly mean girling with other players off the ice too. roz “wendy williams” rozanov becomes a trending thing a few times over the course of his career, with brainrot memes about “wendy williams was pregnant with roz here” to match.
a video by a fan of him and cliff marleau talking INSANE shit on the bench resurfaces after The Outing, and the internet starts up on its usual bullshit of how ilya is too fun for shane again. the usual “oh it’s so sad that roz doesn’t have someone to match his energy” and “hollander is so boring what does a guy who talks like this even see in that”.
anyway, svetlana (who cares less about shane’s hockey image and letting him remain untarnished than ilya does—she’s smart and also a minority so she feels less guilt about pushing shane on it) catches wind of this. one day, out of actually fucking nowhere it’s just some wednesday, she posts a video from the cottage. shes been invited to stay the week to babysit shane who is out on IR, and they’re watching a centaurs vs. guardians game.
the camera is shaky, and held low, and at first you can only hear shane in the background, but then he becomes visible at an odd angle. he’s got his injured ankle up on the couch, he’s wearing a really low cut tank top and a slutty pair of shorts. he is also mid rant about “— and if your entire team is still falling apart to this level TWO YEARS LATER just because you lost one good player and another caught a case, then you have to ask yourself what’s f****** wrong with the f****** coaches. i mean, mathewson is an ugly son of a b**** but i didn’t realize he was f****** stupid too. and we’re not even playing well, smith is just that much of a f****** sieve. maybe if he put half as much weight into moving towards the puck as he puts into pushing his wife around — you’d like her by the way-“
the video goes viral instantaneously. people cannot believe that captain hollander is this mean, but devoted hockey fans also keep quoting it, shocked because he’s RIGHT. some girl who’s been a roz fan since boston tweets, “roz will chirp to piss you off, but hollzy will kill your family because he finds you disrespectful to the sport.”
the only response anyone can get out of the rozanov-hollanders is ilya retweeting that post.
