Ilya’s pre-game speeches to the centaurs being like “we are the gayest team in the mlh if we lose tonight you are giving homophobes a point. do not do that”

[fractally]

Love "terrible at being gay" Shane and Ilya. They do some interview for Pink News and it comes out that neither of them have any idea what Stonewall is. A confused Shane's looking sideways at Ilya while Ilya's like, "What? Who threw brick at wall?"

They're semi-frequently cornered by Rose's LA club gay friends and Fabian's arthouse gay friends who constantly bring up random gay culture stuff. Ilya knows 10% of it Shane knows 0%. They're all in a mutual hatred society

Shane's never heard of PrEP. Health Canada approaches him as a potential spokesperson and he's leafing through the documentation going, "Ilya did you know about this? Should---should I have been on this" and Ilya crashes out like, "Oh now it comes out, you let the Mexican guy fuck you bare"

They go to see Rent on a double date with Scott and Kip as some kind of publicity stunt for a charity and they're both just sort of confused the whole time. Ilya gets mad about the dog thing. Shane keeps leaning over to Ilya to whisper loudly, "It's actually really important that tenants pay their rent. How else are landlords supposed to maintain the buildings." Kip tries to stab him during intermission

Howdy. 👋

Not only will there be a new volume of CHECK, PLEASE! in the works...

But CHECK, PLEASE!: YEAR FIVE will be...

…THE YEAR OF THE FROG. 🐸 🏒 ✨

Below, find a summary of what the newest volume of CHECK, PLEASE! will have to offer… highs, lows, and a whole new SMH!!

Samwell mens hockey’s favorite baker—and championship-winning senior captain—has graduated! How will the team survive? Problems abound as their new captain, Dex, learns that the effortless balance Bitty maintained on the team isn’t as easy as it looks. Then, ultra-aloof Nursey must finally drop his “chill” and get vulnerable in a senior poetry seminar. And to make matters worse, Chowder faces the dreaded ‘SSGS’ and is having the worst season of his college career. But when change arrives at Samwell hockey, it not only threatens to rip the team apart, but could destroy Dex, Nursey, and Chowder’s friendship forever. Before they graduate, to save their team and themselves, the three seniors must come together and ask the question: ‘What does Samwell hockey mean to you?’

I can’t reveal any more spoilers, but I’ll leave you with that question—what does Samwell hockey mean to you? Look out for more Check, Please! news in the months to come!

As a married person I do need to tell you all that Shane and Ilya do weird shit all the time.

They routinely have entire conversations where Ilya is very softly smacking Shane's foot the entire time. Shane enjoys the percussive feedback.

Ilya mispronounces the word "Application" and they just sit there mutually whispering 'Aaap-li-caaa-shun' at each other for the next thirty seconds.

Ilya comes up behind Shane while he's trying to make a smoothie and says 'HELPING HANDS' and puts his arms under Shane's armpits.

Ilya sees Shane undressing in the bathroom and yells, "Take it all off!"

Shane carries Anya into the bedroom and holds her over Ilya's chest and moves her paws and says, "Papa it is me. Papa it has been an whole hour since I ate. Papa I am so hungry and sad." then drops her on his stomach.

Shane comes into the home office and grabs a pen off the desk and puts it against Ilya's cheek and says, "Any last words?" and Ilya says, "I wish I had eaten more dumplings."

Ilya spends an entire episode of House Hunters International with his hand down Shane's pants. It's not doing anything in there either it's just keeping warm.

Sometimes they are just mutually awake at three AM for No Reason and they go stand on the porch and stare at the empty street together.

Sometimes they are laying there playing footsie on the couch while on their phones (Parallel play) and Shane says, "Does your mouth ever do that squeezing thing. You know. When you eat." And Ilya says "Explain" and they spend the next ten minutes dissecting whether this is a Human Experience or a Shane Experience.

Sometimes Ilya will put his head on Shane's stomach and say, "Show me your boooones" and wait for Shane to lift his shirt so he can burrow under it.

I just think that we as a fandom need to embrace how Weird married people get about each other. From personal experience I am telling you it is SO FUN.

Hey...

[bluehairedboyfriend]

Post Hollander - Rozanov marriage and the Ottawa Centaurs are unstoppable then, it's All-Stars and the NHL decide to put Ilya and Shane on separate teams and they both go back to shit-talking the other in interviews and playing up the rivalry and in the game they go all out, scoring goals against each other and chirping the other to relieve the good old days and then everyone realises that it has been foreplay for them the whole time

Post retirement Hollanov having their own queer friendly hockey podcast where they invite activists on as guests and absolutely shit on the homophobic podcasters with an unfiltered cuntiness level rivalling that of Stadler and Waldorf.

In the background of their set you can clearly make out a dartboard with Roger Crowell’s face on it

Whenever they mention the Montreal metros they bleep out the name

i actually can’t fucking wait for ilya to be captaining the centaurs & shane not being captain for once in his life. the dynamic is so fun to me idk LOL. first of all they’re both freaky as hell, shane is absolutely calling him captain at inopportune times & ilya gets hot and bothered abt it

SECOND of all shane no longer has to be the child prodigy. like he is, obviously, and everyone knows it, but without the C on his chest and with the centaurs’ more kind, brotherly team vibe, he finally gets to just be one of the guys. no world on his shoulders, no burden

everyone pranks captain ilya & shane is sprinting in the middle of the pack from his playful wrath. everyone gangs up on captain ilya, chirping the hell out of him, and shane uncharacteristically steps in and delivers the final blow. whole team erupts, hollering, cheering, whistling, slapping shane on the back in the locker room while ilya tries to look mad but is secretly so pleased because shane is integrating so well & he loves these boys, they’re his.

idk. smth smth shane becomes best friends with literally all of them & ilya somehow turns into the greatest source of group morale on earth by being the butt of every joke & the heart and soul of the team. i need it.

[shanesloverboy]

Being gay in this fandom is crazy because what do you mean the straights are shocked about Ilya eating ass the first time they fucked. Of course he did, he's a gentleman. I didn't even think twice about it the first time I watched because it was so obvious. Just say you're jealous and move on.

[knowmeorudont]

i love you.

Heated Rivalry is a closed door hockey romance in the sense that they fade to black on the hockey. The sex is explicit, but the hockey is implied.
