Last meal with his "family" vs first meal with his family
big fan of how hudson williams hit hollywood like a canonball. he runs around like a little chaos gremlin pushing all the made up rules off the windowsill with his paw then stands by connor storrie like that makes him untouchable and it does.
genuinely i do think it's crazy how this show hit every single mark for no reason other than pure love of the game. like this wasn't a money grab and it didn't think it would be a big success, jacob just read a book he enjoyed and thought huh i think that would be a cool thing to make into a tv show. and then he brought on hudson and connor and they're fresh and passionate and not bogged down by the industry yet and they instantly became best friends and wanted to just have fun bringing these characters to life. and they didn't have a huge budget but they did the most with what they had and everybody took the show seriously and everybody took the book seriously. the cinematographer worked his magic. the music supervisor managed to snag a well-known queer hit and an up and coming new release and old school gems that have been around since the 2000s. it's canadian to the core, built from the ground up. it takes russians and the russian language seriously. it uses sex in such a specific, meaningful way that almost no other show has done thus far, and especially not in a queer context like this. they interlaced every episode with callbacks and parallelism and self-references. they didn't take themselves too seriously. they took everything so seriously. there is love and care baked into the core of this show and it's deeply queer and it doesn't shy away from the horrors of toxic masculinity and hockey culture but it is also, always, a story of joy and love and happiness. and on top of everything, it's almost word for word, the original source material from the book.
like damn it's no wonder this thing has made us all insufferable and become a huge fucking success! so few productions in hollywood are doing it like this!!!
had many many favourite parts of that episode but I did love shane's mom being like 'so do you love your team ilya?' and ilya so confident he knows how to answer this question right like 'not as much as i love your son mrs hollander' and shane's mom being like EH âđ đťââď¸ WRONG ANSWER and shane being like mom what the fuck??
hard launch
outside of the obvious reasons why the hollanov relationship reveal must be crazy to shaneâs parents, itâs gotta be wild to them that their shy, awkward kid is dating the league slut. their kid, who cannot even say the word âsexâ without blushing, has been fucking a man whose sexual reputation is a topic of conversation. for a decade. they are in fact on a sexcation together. if you want to see them, you need to text them that youâre on your way there, because even if they know youâre coming in advance, they cannot keep their hands off of each other long enough to properly keep track of time. david hollander sees things start to heat up between them and knows instantly that they have probably fucked against every window in that extremely glass house.
idk iâm obsessed with how shane bringing ilya home is not just him coming out as gay, itâs him coming out as an experienced sex freak.
The difference is that jealous Ilya looks homicidal while jealous Shane looks suicidal
Does it fucking kill you too? Not anymore.
Hollanov + season 1 timeline
rlly embarrassing when ppl act like topping/bottoming has any bearing on anything beyond how you like to fuck. grow up
youâre like, inches away from asking whoâs the man and whoâs the woman lol
There are actual tears in my eyes rn can you believe people are this stupid and walk among us all the time
âYuna Hollander POVâ this, âImagine youâre Yuna Hollanderâ that⌠Valid, valid. But letâs shine a glorious light on DAVID Hollander for a minute.
Imagine youâve spent most of your sonâs teen and adult life supporting the hell out of him and your wife as they jointly steer his career into the astral plane of international hockey stardom. Youâre so proud of him, but you also worry that the focus of his life may be too narrow. You gently encourage him to smell the roses - go down Youtube rabbit holes (whatever those are), take a holiday to London, maybe even date? After years of only surface-level relationships, he develops a true friend in Hayden Pike, and you breathe a sigh of relief. He shows an interest in real estate and design, and youâre delighted to encourage him.
Youâre thrilled when he gets a girlfriend after so many years alone. When they seem to break up but remain on good terms, this fuels your growing suspicion that he might be gay. Then Scott Hunter kisses his boyfriend on the ice. Shane immediately takes a call and comes back with a giddy smile on his face. Thatâs really all the confirmation you need.
You gently break this to Yuna (I love how the show changes that âwe know you pretty well, Shaneâ line from her to him, because it matches characterisation theyâve added to David as an insightful father and husband). Yuna immediately wants to talk to Shane about it & make contingency plans for how it might affect his life & career if true, because she loves her kid & wants to cover all bases ASAP, but you talk her down. âLet him come to us,â you say.
Shane tells you heâs doing a silent retreat for his time off this year, but you need to charge your phone, and itâll be good to check in on him (you always worry about him being too isolated, too lonely). So you head over only to be⌠well, astonished to see him kissing his arch-rival with an easy familiarity. Shit, shit, you should NOT be here. You panic & leave - let him come to you (Shaneâs flight response is also inherited).
Just as you and Yuna are discussing whether you should go back to the cottage, he does come over. With Rozanov. Youâre a bit shellshocked, and the whole thing is awkward as hell at first, but also⌠Rozanov looks at your son like he hung the moon, talks him down from a panic attack, and it turns out theyâve been doing this for almost ten years. The same ten years that you spent encouraging Shane to pursue happiness and live a full life. Of course it breaks your heart that he felt like he had to do it in secret, but he still did it.
Thatâs your boy.
