Ok I’m actually starting to get a little defensive of Ilya because why am I seeing more and more characterization of him as messy, undisciplined, irresponsible, etc.

Like yes, he’s more carefree than Shane, but he’s also one of the best hockey players in the world and you don’t get there without an insane amount of discipline, and even beyond that we literally see him acting as a caretaker for his father, managing money for his brother, arranging his father’s funeral and getting it done quickly and efficiently, none of that is the behavior of someone who’s never used a calendar…

[rainbow-femme]

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.

I do think the threat of divorce is a daily occurrence in the Hollander-Rozanov household. Ilya presses his cold feet against Shane's shins and Shane is shrieking and trying to get away, telling Ilya to stop and Ilya puts on his best hurt face, pouts and tells him, "if you want a divorce you can just say that." They're playing Montreal and right before they head onto the ice Shane tells him, "if you don't score at least twice, I'm filing for divorce." Shane places one of his gross morning smoothies in front of Ilya, who's barely awake and he just says, "no, divorce."

Cliff's trade to Ottawa definitely comes with its share of awkward moments as Cliff learns to exist casually in a space occupied by Shane Hollander but Cliff does eventually adjust and comes to like Shane. Like, the guy is definitely what Cliff's grandma would call 'squirrelly' but Cliff's grandma had also never shown any meaningful sign that she truly believed that the Cold War was over, so. Grains of salt.

So it's not super weird when Shane texts him and asks him to meet at a nearby coffee shop

(Shane: Hi Marleau, this is Shane Hollander-Rozanov, I was wondering if we could meet at [copy-pasted Google Maps link] so that I can talk to you about Ilya's birthday

Cliff: 👍

Ilya, later: Can I spit on it

Cliff: Later baby I have plans with your man

Ilya: Lol.

Ilya, later when Shane actually leaves to 'meet someone': You will never satisfy him.)

Anyway the point of all of this is Cliff walks into a coffee shop that takes itself a little too seriously and sits down across from Shane who already has a little notebook in front of him with a black coffee.

After brief greetings and after Cliff orders his own coffee (They are all named after Canadian cities. It's a really pretentious coffee shop) he sits down and Shane immediately says, "I was wondering if you could tell me some of the things that you and Ilya did when you went to Paris together."

Cliff's mind implodes.

"Uh."

"I've never been and I want to do something to make up for the fact that our thirtieth birthdays were kind of overshadowed by," Shane gestures expansively to euphamistically refer to the whole outing-to-marriage ordeal of last spring and summer. "And he's mentioned that you guys went to Paris together back in 2014 to celebrate your Cup win. Did he enjoy it? Or do you think he wouldn't want to go back?"

"Uh," says Cliff as he frantically texts Ilya under the table. "Yeah. He loved it."

(COME GET YOUR MAN BIG DAWG THIS IS NOT A DRILL.)

"Great!" Shane clicks his pen. "What did you guys do while you were there?"

"Uh. We...ate out."

Current twitter drama is Europeans confidently declaring that they don't need to drive or use overpriced public transport to get to the MetLife stadium for the World Cup; they will simply walk down the highway to get there. Girl it's New Jersey. They're gonna splatter you for fun.

[lesbianshepard]

I think a lot of Europeans think that the stadium is in the middle of a city and surrounded by infrastructure, which is why they keep insisting that they can just walk from point A to point B. It's not! It's in the fucking Meadowlands!!!! You have multi lane highways and a literal toxic swamp and that's it!

[lesbianshepard]

"Well if there are a LOT of football fans they'll stop for us!"

There's a video online of a trucker who accidentally hits a flock of sheep in the middle of the highway at full speed and splatters them. Has to turn the windshield wipers on to wipe away the blood. This is what every Jersey driver yearns to do once they get on the turnpike.

[lesbianshepard]

girl help they're now demanding NJ build a bridge over the highway (???? from where???) or shut down the fucking I-95 (one of the busiest highways in the country that everyone commutes on) for their little soccer game.

[effervescible]

I live close enough to the Meadowlands to regularly curse the hubris of the American Dream mall and this is the funniest shit I have read in YEARS. A lot of the European twitter people seem to think we are DEFENDING the Meadowlands and the general layout of the area like we think it was good urban planning. Girl no! It is a shithole, we know it is a shithole! (Although the actual swamp is kinda pretty from the window of a train heading to Secaucus Junction.) We are not trying to express pride, we are trying to save your life!!!!

I MEAN. I know people talk a lot of shit about American arrogance and they're not wrong to do so, but look at this, my fucking god.

[obama-stolemy-vcr]

._. Let them perish

Whats funny is they think ppl are defending the infrastructure. Like...no bitch we know it's ass. We are telling you it LITERALLY can't be done

[brehaaorgana]

Right like, no no. We KNOW it is horrible. We KNOW it should not exist like that. MetLife stadium shouldn't have been built in a swamp like that. Everything about its existence is bullshit. This is probably the WORST stadium to try and get to, considering that it is illegal to try and walk there.

FIFA has also intentionally MADE it worse. Because they're closing the parking lot. They're also preventing ride shares from what I can tell??

Meanwhile the governor of New Jersey is saying this is going to cost NJ $48 million to deal with the ridership, and wanted money to offset that, which FIFA doesn't ever do. So they decided to massively inflate train fares to offset the cost.

Again, while trying to prevent rideshare services from occurring.

Oh, ALSO people in New Jersey and New York City are all being told to "work from home" on days of the world cup matches because the public transit congestion is expected to be that bad, coincides with rush hour, and because for some of it, they're full closing off public transit to anyone who doesn't have FIFA tickets.

And then there are people complaining about our "shitty national stadium" and I don't even know how to begin to explain that MetLife isn't even the biggest capacity stadium in the US. It's not even in the top ten. (It is #15).

I genuinely do hope everyone is just being a bit of a troll when they say they're going to walk on the 95 or some shit because people will 1000% die. I don't even know what a comparable metaphor for this is.

But you cannot just shut this road down:

[hollanoveau]

while you made sad ilya headcanons, i studied The Code (the bro code, for your bros that you’re definitely not in love with but also it would kinda be okay if you were)

bc like. ilya breaks the news that he’s going to ottawa. cliff knows why. but also that’s unacceptable bc he can’t just leave him like that. that’s his bro! that’s his bestie! his ride or die! and he’s seen ilya change over the past year. he knows things got Serious between him and shane over the summer. Ilya’s happier now, but he’s also sadder now when they’re not together. quieter. more withdrawn. sure, ottawa is a hell of a lot closer than boston, but shane will still be in montreal. who will ilya have in ottawa in the meantime?? nobody.

cliff can’t let that happen.

so he has his agent start desperately pulling strings. his enormous boston-based family does Not understand at first, but they’re a hockey family, so in a way they get it. a good captain is worth following, even if it’s outside the country. cliff keeps it under wraps and doesn’t tell ilya. lets him make his plans and pack his shit and move over the summer without him.

and on the first day with the centaurs, as coach wiebe is introducing ilya to everyone and he’s fighting the nerves he hasn’t felt since he was nineteen and meeting the raiders for the first time, cliff casually strolls in decked out in red and black and smiling ear to ear. ilya definitely doesn’t cry like a baby as he flings himself at him and crushes him in a hug.

the ottawa winters are easier to bear between the two of them.
