"A world without trans people has never existed and never will"
Poster spotted in Olympia, WA
you donât realize how important lunch is until youâre wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then itâs 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.
WHY IS THIS SO GOOD?!
They put drugs in this show, and this edit is the closest I've come to being able to snort it like cocaine. Excluding binging the entire show in 6 hours after first turning on episode one to see what all the fuss was about.
HEATED RIVALRY (2025-) 1.02 "Olympians"

Okay maybe I'm too American (I have been accused of this repeatedly now) but the drive between Montreal and Boston is five hours. Probably six on a bad day. In the grand scheme of long distance relationships, especially for people who are used to traveling, that's small potatoes. Meet in the middle and that's a cool two and a half hours. You cannot convince me they never did this. You're telling me Mr. Real Estate Youtube Rabbit Hole never stayed up until one in the morning looking at cabins in Vermont? You're telling me Ilya didn't play around on Google Maps until he found a Park 'N Go off I89 with sufficiently dim lighting and text the address to Shane, no context given aside from maybe Come murder me? You're telling me that Shane Hollander never shared his location with Ilya, got in his car and prayed that customs wasn't busy. Ilya waited two years to fuck Shane, begged him for it the whole time, and you expect me to believe that a halfway bootycall never even OCCURED to him? That's a COMMUTE. That's a DINNER DATE. Ilya drove his prettiest and fastest car to Buttfuck Vermont to give the town its name and then he ate Cracker Barrel pancakes in the passenger's seat of Shane's dumb Land Rover while Shane watched. Round two before they went home. All before the sun came up. It HAPPENED.
i think one of the reasons that heated rivalry has been so successful is because everyone involved with it is so fucking proud of what they created. like thereâs zero embarrassment or shame about how sexual it is or how queer it is and itâs just such a breath of fresh air
I've talked about this in tags but I need it to be a full post. There's something about Ilya wearing long sleeves here that kills me. I love that Shane is in a cozy hoodie, too, but it doesn't grab my attention as much because he's not dressed that differently from his usual wardrobe.
But Ilya? He's constantly showing off his body whenever he has the chance. This man is allergic to sleeves. He usually rips his shirt off at the first opportunity.
Ilya's usual wardrobe (or sometimes lack thereof lol) reflects the way he views his body as a commodity, like it's the only thing he has to offer, so he's constantly showing it off.
But then we have this beautiful montage showing the ways that Shane and Ilya have slotted into each other's lives in a pretty regular routine. It's a hot montage, but it's also creeping toward a feeling of domesticity, especially in this moment.
Wearing this shirt to a hookup shows that Ilya has reached a new level of comfort with Shane. He doesn't feel the same pressure to play the seduction game. Shane is going to kiss him the same way regardless of what he's wearing.
That plus the fact that Shane is taking control and pushing Ilya against the glass. Ilya's whole demeanor reflects the way he feels comfortable and taken care of in this moment and it does something particular to my heart.
I don't think Ilya is consciously thinking about why he dresses all comfy cozy for this hookup. He still has a while before he internalizes the truth that Shane wants him just as he is. But Ilya also tends to act based on feeling before he fully understands the subconscious behind those actions.
I love this demonstration of instinctual comfort he's feeling with Shane, even if he's not actively realizing it.
okay so. this is fine.
Ilya couldn't help but bring Shane into his life.
âthis is ilya, i will never listen to your voicemailâ and shane takes that to heart!!
he thinks ilya doesn't ever listen to his messages, so maybe he starts leaving one here and there. maybe they're nothing really, just a note to say he tried to call. sometimes leaving off with "oh, this is shane. by the way" he calls when he knows ilya won't be able to pick up; "hey, uh. i know you won't get this, but i was thinking about you. i miss you. i know you're just in ottawa but... sometimes it feels a lot further. i love you." and sometimes he'll be watching a game and god. he wants to talk to ilya about that play, so he'll leave message about it. shane never really tells ilya that this is something he does.
ilya knows, of course. watches his voicemail fill up little by little. always makes sure there's space for new ones. has ones that he listens to so often that knows them by heart. memorizes the way shane laughs because he thinks no one will hear it, the sound of his breath on the other line between words. he listens to every one of them.
ilya turning away when he cries / shane not letting him hide

BE TRANSGENDER
KISS YOUR FRIENDS
EAT CHEESE
NEVER KILL YOURSELF
THRIVE
a really important thing to remember about shane and ilyaâs sexual dynamic FOR ME is that ilya likes shane submitting to him precisely because he respects him so much
heâs literally a hollander fanboy, he calls him âperfectâ numerous times, he watches in a blend of jealousy and reverence as shane beats him in every arena, he stalks him online and watches his stupid documentary, he is in complete awe of that man and so its super fucking sexy when that man drops to his knees a second after ilya tells him to or literally begs him to fuck him
and its not about putting shane in his place either, its hot because shane WANTS to do it so badly, its another form of respect in a way, respect for shaneâs willingness and obedience and eagerness to please
and ive said this before but ilya one thousand percent gets off on the idea that shane is this clean cut goody two shoes golden boy and only ilya gets to know what he does behind closed doors
i dont think ilya even innately wants to dominate shane the way shane definitely wants to submit to ilya, but its sooooo hot to him that he gets to
on my knees sobbing hiccuping snot bubble: please shane hollander is a FREAK heâs a freak heâs not actually a delicate flower he likes to say no when he means yes he LIKES when ilya ignores his objections please donât woobify him its freak4freak or nothing
ilya + shane's chest
Honestly my favourite moment in the whole show is right after the âyou missssssed meeeeâ âI fucking didnâtâ when they both try to race up the stairs and theyâre like shoving each other and itâs so dumb and silly and then they immediately have beautiful romantic sex. I love that theyâre always like slapping each other, and chirping, and just general âboys will be boys nonsenseâ and then following that with being passionately in love. No one else is doing like Hollanov.
