someone should write a sprawling political epic fic about shane being faced with the choice between everything he has ever wanted or ilya, and picking everything he has ever wanted. and then immediately realizing he has made the wrong choice and spending the rest of his life trying to undo it.

i keep seeing that poll about whether you expect friends to pay you back and like you gotta give me more information before i answer that question. is it a huge purchase? did i get the last one? are they currently employed? which friend is this? do THEY get uncomfortable if i get the whole bill? like i have friends where we just go back and forth paying for stuff and nobody tracks anything and i have friends where we split it down to the penny. that poll stresses me out

It’s vitally important that people remember that no matter how many followers someone has on here they’re still literally just some person with a blog and not, like, The Authority on anything.

Wait I can make Ilya and Hayden friends picture this: few years post retirement Shane plans a cave diving trip or something with Ilya and Hayden but just does not show up, forcing them to somehow go on an adventure together. Hayden gets stuck in a dingy little space and at first ilya just will Not help him he's pulling out his phone he's taking pictures. after about 20 minutes he's like okay i will help calm down.

pulling. pulling harder. But he's not budging and now they're panicking and Hayden just starts shouting crying like rozanov i don't even know what your problem is. you're fucking shane and for some reason my wife wants to fuck you too what is this. you've ruined my life and now you're gonna leave me to die here. I have kids man! and that gets ilya so emotional he's like pike i don't care if i die we are getting you out of here. anyways they figure it out and they're always respectfully nodding at each since then and it weirds tf out of shane

gently and with so much love, because i value imagination and creativity, and it takes a lot to put yourself out there and send your ideas to a stranger’s inbox and i admire that: i do not want ilya and hayden to become friends. my deepest desire is for a piano to fall on hayden pike.

Was your post about making characters butches and femmes in response to something specific? Do you have feelings about the idea of butch and/or femme hollanov interpretations?

nah i was just clearing out the drafts. in regards to hollanov i just would say maybe we could consider why we are so fixated on sexually feminizing shane hollander. i do find it annoying when people make all gay ships so one person is butch and one is fem. and also there’s always smut involving one party being feminized and put in lingerie, and i’m like well ok what if two femmes wanna fuck, or two butches, can we conceive of that world. could we imagine what femme4femme or butch4butch might look like.

and then beyond that, if you’re insisting each character or person is butch or femme you’re just recreating the gender binary. for some people butch or femme is a fixed identity. for some people it’s just a behavior they perform sometimes at whim. for some people it’s nothing at all and not relevant.

i LOVE the butches and femmes of the real world and the fake world and i think they are so sexy and special. but also. we do understand that’s not a REQUIREMENT right. like. every fake character and also every person in the real life does not need to be specifically designated as butch or femme. it’s optional.
