RIP Anthony Stewart Head (1954 - 2026)

The Centaurs are asked to do one of those sexy pin-up charity calendars and a photographer gets brought in to take the pictures.

The guys are goofing around, sitting in on each other's sessions and making jokes, and generally being a pain in the ass. The photographer has just about run out of patience when finally it's Shane's turn.

Shane, consummate professional that he is, locks in. It's a little bit embarrassing to be doing this in front of the guys, sure, but he's got a decade's experience here. He can easily compartmentalize.

The photographer is ecstatic that someone is finally taking this seriously! It doesn't even matter that the room his filled with hockey players wolf whistling and shouting "Looking good, Hollzy!" because Shane hits every pose and makes every adjustment and is generally just a dream to work with. (It also doesn't hurt that he's so easy on the eyes.)

Ilya finds the whole thing fun at first but his expression is stormy by the end and when Shane finally gets cleared to leave the set, he's positively pouting.

"What's the matter?" Shane asks quietly as soon as they're in the hallway.

"You liked that?" Ilya asks. "Taking his directions?"

Shane rolls his eyes. He can't believe he thought something was seriously wrong. "Oh my god, you're ridiculous."

"Is a simple question!"

"I was just doing my job. It's not like I was having fun."

"Could have fooled me," Ilya mutters bitterly. "You were being very good for him, doing whatever he told you."

Shane's cheeks go hot, a Pavlovian reaction to Ilya telling him he's good even though it's wrapped up in the pettiest, most stupid accusation.

"You know I've done this like a hundred times, right? There is nothing special about this specific photographer."

Ilya's eyebrows rise. "You would go to your knees for any man who asked you, as long as he's holding a camera?"

Maybe there had been a pose or two involving Shane on his knees. That doesn't make this tantrum of Ilya's any less stupid- although looking at him now, Shane's not sure if he's still just pissed or if he's talked himself around into being horny about it, too. Ilya does have a tendency to do that.

Shane really shouldn't be encouraging this. But then again, "Why don't you take me home and try it?"

Ilya curses under his breath, then grabs Shane's hand and practically drags him out to the car.

I loved this interview, yayyy a gifset!!

I think this is something lost on the audience in the show that is explicitly implicit in the books.

Shane thinks Ilya is a sex god bc

1) he is "better at sex" than shane

2) shane up to this point hasn't had a successful and Very Good sexual experience. He literally says once Ilya dick is inside him that he "finally understands why people are sex- obsessed." It has clicked, and his brain says its because of ilya, not bc he is gay

3) ilya is a whore so that translates in shanes brain to very experienced, good at it, therefore sex god

They tease back and forth that ilya has ruined sex for shane bc no one else will do, and while shane is embarrassed by this, he agrees.

In TLG it comes out that ilya has maybe been with like 5-10 guys at most. Personally i think its the lower end of that. He specifically says that men are a "rare treat," implying that 1) its safer to pull women (he really is terrified of being outed and shipped back to russia), and 2) he only pulls men when he is missing shane so much he cant stand it.

Shane has canonically been with 3 men. Two pulls he didnt care for, and ilya. Again, in his mind, ilya is the key, but its not inherently bc of ilya's skill, its because of their crazy deep connection.

I LOVE that Jacob said this, because its not so explicit in the show. You get little tells (ilya's "wow" at Shane's desperation and automatic submission; his quick orgasms in ep1 - he is just as overwhelmed and turned on as shane is; his face the first time he fucks shane, especially when he goes in from behind) but in the end, ilya is so desperate to please shane and make it perfect that he just makes it happen out of sheer willpower. But the second he realizes shane is coming untouched under his he makes way too much noise, bites his lips to squash it (embarrased, wants to be more in control than that), and immediately comes. Its not inherent skill, its attention and the overwhelming desire to please, mixed with a little control freak energy and genuine exhilaration at Shane's automatic submission.

They move in together full time and Ilya notices that Anya acts differently with Shane than she does with him, more quiet and less playful, and he worries that means she doesn’t like Shane or is jealous, so he hires a dog trainer to come over and see if there’s anything they need to do to help

After a while of talking about how Anya acts the trainer says there’s nothing to worry about, Anya likes Shane just fine, it’s just that she sees him as the boss and is acting accordingly

And Ilya is like. But. I’m the one who adopted her? And raised her before Shane got here?? And the trainer is just like yeah well she sees you more like an equal. And Ilya is like WAIT she thinks Shane is in charge of both of us?? And the trainer is just like well do you interact in a way that would make her think that?

Ilya’s life flashes before his eyes as he thinks of all the times Shane has come over with a snack for Ilya and a treat for Anya, or all the times Shane has announced they’re all going for an after dinner walk, or pets Ilya’s hair and tells him he did a good job at practice, or the fact that he uses the same warning tone with Anya when she misbehaves as he does with Ilya when he’s causing problems on purpose

Shane comes home to Ilya with his face in his hands going oh god I’m not Anya’s dad I’m her brother and she thinks we’re both your pets. And Shane just goes. What.

Hayden and Cliff talking at the Hollanov wedding about how much they miss their respective captains is just two repressed bisexuals telling each other "exactlyyy".

hayden pike somehow ends up in an alternative universe where jackie doesn’t exist and is stuck there. he slowly realizes that in this world he and shane aren’t close and he’s known to be an asshole like the rest of his team.

he doesn’t notice it at first and plays normally in games surprising everyone as he flawlessly passes to shane an cooperates as well as hugging shane who is baffled and skeptical.

hayden tries to be there for shane after he and illya’s relationship is exposed in some other way but everyone thinks hayden is harassing shane.

hayden’s trying to do all this while mourning jackie and his kids. he has frequent nightmares and one day gets drunk and cries about missing his wife.

somehow this ends with him in cliffs bed and slowly he begins to confide in cliff and eventually he manages to befriend shane and illya again as well as fix his reputation.

this ultimately ends with hayden realizing he’s bisexual and getting with cliff and everyone lives happily ever after.

hbo max blocks screenshots even when I use the snipping tool AND firefox AND ublock which is a fucking first. i will never understand streaming services blocking the ability to take screenshots thats literally free advertising for your show right there. HOW THE HELL IS SOMEBODY GONNA PIRATE YOUR SHOW THROUGH SCREENSHOTS. JACKASS

[parkayquarts]

somewhere out there is a guy who meticulously takes screenshots of every individual frame of his favorite tv shows and then painstakingly etches each one onto a roll of film which he puts into his old timey projector and recreates the footage as a silent film with his own lavishly hand-lettered dialogue cards and original score that he plays on his upright piano and charges audiences one shiny penny a play. at last, big media has finally outsmarted ol' Zachary Zoetrope

[theheroheart]

PSA for everyone who doesn't know, explained simply

this is NOT because of blocking screenshots, it's because of HOW streaming sites use your computer's hardware to optimise performance, which means the thing rendering the video and the thing capturing your screen aren't the SAME thing. so they can't talk together.

you can fix this by going to your browser settings, searching for "hardware acceleration", and turning that off.

[team-thickness12]

This also fixes screen sharing to other screens. It has been GODSEND

No one is more verse in this fandom than Cliff Marlow is.

Cliff Marleau- himbo princess and wise elder simultaneously you are so special to me.

He's all-seeing and knew the whole time, he's at their wedding and still hasn't connected the Jane/Shane dots, he's so emotionally intelligent and perceptive that he knew not to talk to Ilya about it but was being quietly supportive, he's connecting the dots all wrong and thinks Ilya wants Rose Landry bad. He's the straightest man alive. He want's Shane so bad (to be fair I do think that can co-exist). He's also bisexual and it never came up. He's older than them. He's younger than them. He's whatever you need him to be(but older is objectively better -thank you Jacob).

Only common characteristic is he is the chillest mother fucker alive.

"Pride Night", Shane Hollander, Ilya Rozanov, Scott Hunter [Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Francois Arnaud] from Heated Rivalry, the original cover from the [REDACTED] zine

Mar 2026

This is a several layer work. First, I found three blank jersey templates and redesigned the Metros/Raiders/Admirals jerseys into a pride format. I then found a reference pic of three men standing next to each other wearing jerseys. I used inkscape to photoshop the jerseys onto the reference pic, and then photoshopped Hudson, Connor, and Francois's faces into place.

I then ran it through my process of playing with vectorising/lighting/overlaying watercolour textures and stock images, isolating the lines, drawing in more lines (don't look too closely at their numbers or their feet because I almost messed them up a few times). I blurred the letters because it's meant to look like a painting, I removed the lines from the Raiders icon because it was too busy, and then overlaid everything.

Believe it or not, the reflection on the ice was the hardest part of this. And if you still fucking think this is AI, just go ahead and block me already because I'm over trying to prove myself to everyone.

I need hollanov to have kids, if only to see them navigate being part of the PTA. You think they talk shit about people in the hockey world? It's nothing compared to the drama they get involved with on the PTA. Shane hates the PTA chair from day fucking one and it's his whole mission to replace her with someone who isn't a fucking bigot on an ego trip.

Ilya tries to be a little more careful. Sure he bitches about her over wine to Shane and some of their friends in the PTA, but the PTA chair's son is in the same class as their daughter, so even if they manage to oust her, they'll probably still have to deal with her for the whole time their daughter is at the school and is it worth the fucking headache that would be?

But then one day he and Shane get called to the school because their daughter was caught fighting with the PTA chair's son. And when they get the full story, it turns out the PTA prince had been bullying their daughter for having two dads. And PTA chair is adamant that her precious Caden would never bully. Sure, because of their religious beliefs, they don't condone Shane and Ilya's lifestyle, but their Caden would never use that as a reason to bully anyone.

And that's when Ilya sees fucking red. He's like "Oh so you just tell Caden that Rini's dads shouldn't be together because god says so and are now surprised that he would say that at school to our daughter? Do you even fucking know how children work? Have you read a single fucking parenting book? Well, in our house, our religion is hockey and in our religion, if someone talks shit you're allowed to punch them as hard as you want."

And okay, Rini still gets suspended, but so does Caden, and when news spreads of what happened, the PTA calls an emergency vote of no confidence. The PTA members all really want Shane to stand for chair, but he insists it should be one of their lovely mom friends who's been campaigning for stronger anti-bullying measures at the school. And from then on, even though neither of them are ever on the main committee, it becomes common knowledge that unless Shane and Ilya like you, you're never becoming PTA chair. They're that serious about protecting their kid.
