“It’s true I have been with many women” is so funny to me too. David was inquiring about sexuality, and yea maybe a body count question was in there but imo “many” wasn’t a necessary part of the answer. Shane explained that Ilya likes both, so “it’s true I have been with women” surely would’ve been sufficient, but he had to specify “many.” The Hollanders are clearly aware of his reputation, the “many” is implied, and you think you’d want to downplay that part when meeting your boyfriends parents after his dad caught you on the sexcation and now you’re trying to prove your commitment or whatever, but no. I have been with many women. I used to fucking PULLLLL before your son beat my ass at world juniors part 2 (#summerbefore) and then winked (#winkgate) at me so I HAD to contrive a way to get him alone in a room with me as soon as possible and he has been purring and begging and crying for it ever since. For 2 years he wouldn’t let me hit but trust that I was ready and available the whole time, and as soon as he did my ability to orgasm was forever altered. He challenges me in ways no one else on this planet can, professionally/physically/sexually/emotionally. I am a giver and boy can your son take - but he only takes what I want to give, and he does it so beautifully, and it makes me want to give more and more of myself to him. And I am learning how to take all of the things that he is trying to give me. And sometimes he gets scared but I am still There, and sometimes I get scared and he is still There. And there is a lot to be scared of - "we just can't come out and like announce it" - but we don’t have to be scared of each other anymore because when we are together we are not Alone. And the sex is crazyyyyy like I used to fuck soooo much and now I can only cum under a specific set of circumstances and those circumstances are Shane Hollander. Whatever neuroses you instilled in your son are the ones that Do It For Me™. Soooo yea basically I have only been in love with one person (same here only one).

[lavenderprose]

The way that Ilya goes monogamous for the first time in his entire life and immediately starts dropping I Love You's and pet names and Gimme Kiss. Meanwhile monogamy and a gay awakening have combined in Shane's brain to chemically trigger a Sexual Chernobyl wherein Shane Hollander is now the world's thirstiest slut for one ☝🏻 man. Ilya is thinking about exactly how he's going to propose and Shane is integrating Same Penis Forever into his believe system, his diet and his exercise regime.

[lavenderprose]

@tawnyow-l You GET IT. Yes it scratches Shane's brain just right. That man loves himself his Ginger Ale, Cauliflower, Ilya's Dick Every Day. Nothing different for any reason ever except for the brand of ginger ale and the part of him Ilya's dick touches.

Hollanov as text posts, episode 4 edition .

i'm having Big Feelings about them but i'm being so normal about it

[sedicciardo]

everyone in the league calling ilya an asshole meanwhile he’s apologizing to the bartender for his rowdy teammates, smiling politely at the nurse, playing mermaids with the kids, painting hayden’s kid’s nails and then his own nails to show them that boys can paint their nails too, getting excited over the team puppy, and then spoiling his dog rotten when he finally gets one. sorry but idgaf that he’s mean to grown ass men, they deserve it 😭😭

[adventuresinaverage]

losing my MIND over the fact that Ilya probably thinks he's actually helping when they go to Shane's parents' house.

They get there and Shane is like "Ilya and I are, uh..." and Ilya is like "hmm we haven't talked about this but I know Shane is really uncomfortable right now, so I will shout out the one (1) english word I know that describes this situation. LOVERS."

Then they're talking about how long they've been together and Shane is like "since our rookie season" and Ilya is like "well, hold on now, you said you don't like lying to your parents, so let's be very clear about when this started. We have to be so clear about the fact that it started the summer before our rookie season. Wait, would it make you feel better if I give your parents the exact date and time of our first hookup?"

And then Yuna is like "you've been in love that long?" and Ilya is like "I need you to understand I've been drilling your son into mattresses from here to Florida for the last decade, but I can't say that because I want you to be my mother in law, so are you picking up what I'm putting down?" and Shane is like ILYA and Ilya is like "I am ANSWERING MY MOTHER IN LAW'S QUESTIONS"

And then he drinks his vodka and eats his pasta in his Boston shirt, very proud of himself for being sooooo supportive, meanwhile Shane is actively praying for a black hole to swallow him up

[your-void-senpai]

heated rivalry has been like the reintroduction of wolves in yellowstone for this website

[everfaye]

I’ve actually been fucking your son for 10 years. Thank you for pasta

[audible301]

I KNOW Yuna shot up in bed that night like “DAVID THE ELEVATOR. HE WAS IN THE FUCKING ELEVATOR.”

[thomasmomwell]

ilya rozanov asks shane to be his boyfriend, attempt 1: bro I fucking love having sex with girls

ilya rozanov asks shane to be his boyfriend, attempt 2: might fuck around later and marry a woman lol. yeah i have one in mind. she's really hot :) her dad was a goalie :)

ilya rozanov asks shane to be his boyfriend, attempt 3: [to shane's parents] WE! ARE! LOVERS!

[weegreenbean]

if you're yuna though. your son is gay and has been hiding a 10 year situationship from you, and he's in love with his rival, and then he is having a panic attack and the guy you knew as the big russian anger machine pulls him off the ledge in two seconds and THAT is when they confirm they are boyfriends. all in front of your pasta.

[ticklefighthockey]

kinda love this dynamic where ilya's like i get to have sex with anyone i want anytime i want and i also get to tell you about it while you visibly try to repress your feelings. but the second i think you might be having sex with someone else i am going to absolutely fucking spiral. epic crash out. because when I have sex it is empty and meaningless and utterly devoid of real emotional intimacy but you are a rule-following little dweeb who would still be a virgin if i hadn't deflowered you when we were like 18 so i fucking KNOW it means something to you!!!!!! the hypocrisy is delicious

[alltoowille]

Yuna and David having watched their autistic son be so isolated all of his adult life and never having a happy relationship or close friends who understand his anxiety and then finding out that the man they’ve spent a decade hating on his behalf can casually talk him down from a panic attack in less than a minute
