hockey IQ anon back again and im going to complain one more time about the fandom racism/xenophobia inherent in how shane and ilya are portrayed because it bugs me so much:

it seems like fic authors feel that they need to 'pick' which of them is actually 'better', and so rather than saying like, (for example within my own headcanons) that shane is more accurate a shot and ilya is a faster skater (again, to an absurdly narrow margin that no other living player can match) and just like, acknowledging that they're both leagues above any other player and between the two of them are trading these records back and forth and that they both have things that they uniquely excel in but that they're both insanely talented at all of it, then depending on pov and how much angst and insecurity that character is meant to be experiencing then suddenly one or the other of them has all the skills and is better at everything.

this gets especially bad in any setting where ilya's characterization has been dialed down to 'guy shane needs to boss around' and his whole personality is loving mcdonalds and not taking anything seriously, but i have seen a few rare (much much rarer) examples of an inverse where shane is made so anxious and passive that ilya gets made the 'better' of the two of them. with a special shoutout to the times i've seen ilya portrayed as taking his training/career less seriously once he's in ottawa as a way to 'prove' that shane is the best.

and it drives me nuts every time because its so antithetical to who these guys are.

shane is not a nagging wife spreadsheet savant who needs to analyze and micromange everything. ilya is not his hapless project man who has to be bribed with sex to care about his career. the continual imposition of pigeonholing fandom stereotypes is not actually good characterization.

yeah i agree sorry i don’t have much to add it’s very late but u are right

My high school girlfriend and I once kissed so hard we drew blood. It was because their lip got pinched between our teeth cause we connected to enthusiastically.

yeah for sure, i mean i’m not saying it never happens to people it’s literally happened to me but like. it’s not sexy it’s painful but not in a sexy way more like in an accidental yeowch way. like stepping on a lego isnt sexy you know. not all painful sensations translate well to masochism particularly when unintended…. so i just think it’s funny in erotica

[clytemnestraaa]

to move beyond the racism in kink headcanons also, it grates on me how people take the 'highest hockey IQ' thing? hockey IQ is literally just ability to playmake on the ice, and yet people make this whole big deal about how shane's so analytical and reads hockey books and studies tape and all this stuff is what makes his hockey IQ which is not actually what hockey IQ is??

and then they go on and on about how ilya is an 'instinctual' player who doesn't have hockey IQ anywhere near shane's when its like...."Hockey IQ is a player's mental capability to read the game, anticipate plays, and make fast decisions under pressure, driven by spatial awareness, pattern recognition, and situational understanding"

like, yes, right, so the asian guy is 'highly analytical' and has a high IQ and the russian guy is going off 'instinct' and isn't as smart? and it does kill me because this is a level of pervasive racism and xenophobia that is literally extant within the universe, canonically speaking there's commentators within the series who are making these same generalizations about both of them.

like the whole point of their dynamic is that they are Both generational talents? who are so well-matched that their continual competition with each other is the only way they can decide who is The Best In The World currently? like sure say shane's hockey IQ is higher but that 'higher' is like the difference between scoring a 98 or a 100 on an exam, either way you're getting an A.

making shane a hyper analytical spreadsheet enthusiast and ilya a hapless golden retriever of a man who needs shane to 'manage' and nag him is so insulting to both of them in so many ways

[clytemnestraaa]

lowkey it is very tiring having to constantly see people's thinly veild racism/misogyny/ableism in their kinky headcanons and fantasies about shane and not being able to have ANY discussion about it without people throwing tantrums and shutting it down with some variation of "well if you don't like my force feminizination tpe free use sub shane then you're an anti-kink puritan who hates fun and ruining the fandom"

like dude no one is saying you can't have kinks or write what you want, just that the racism doesn't magically disappear because you're getting off to it 😭

the idea of sexuality as a purifying force that cleanses all it touches is a reactionary response to puritanical right wing fearmongering equating sexuality with wickedness and sin, but this inverted position is still blindly playing the game. it is still ascribing inherent good/evil morality to sexuality. you’re still in the same framework.

also a lot of the argument relies on the thought that 1) something which is arousing can’t be harmful and therefore 2) kink can’t ever be harmful. that doesn’t make any sense to me because, while i know kink and sexual assault are very very different things, if #1 was true then sexual assault would be like way less feasible, so #1 is flawed and not a good argument for #2.

anyways here i think it’s just ppl not being willing to consider racism and their part therein

[clytemnestraaa]

also biting someone’s lip while kissing and drawing blood and there’s barely any reaction. like fucking ouch!!!!

when they kiss hard and taste blood like do you know how hard you’d have to kiss. i mean i understand dramatic effect i do get it it’s not literal but the pedant in my heart….

hi sorry i scrolled ur blog but i cant see the abominable screenshot u speak of. is there something im missing

it’s just shane hollander humiliation feminization kink you don’t need the actual text

[clytemnestraaa]

soooo minor but i want all authors ever to reacquaint themselves with like. body physics. it’s very hard to break a bottle over someone’s head. yes i know they do it in movies. in real life the amount of blunt force required is often fatal. it’s very hard to cut skin with nails especially on the palms or soles. you will not get blood welling up in your palms unless you are wolverine. it’s obnoxiously easily to break a bone or chip a tooth. but you cannot easily bite a chunk out of someone i don’t care what you saw on hannibal. you can’t kill someone by quickly twisting their head to the side and breaking their neck. if someone falls through a plate of glass they are very scarred and have a billion deep lacerations they don’t walk it off. just like imagine how the world would be if any of these things were true…

i took about 800 photos of bean while high tkday

[clytemnestraaa]

opened up tumblr for the first time in a week to your justified exploding against whiteass boyfriend crimes post and. okay! came swinging out of no where but i'm cheering it on because thats always annoyed me. can't decide if I want to go digging for context, feeling like that guy walking in with pizza to a room on fire

the context is one single tweet screenshot but also like years of me seeing this in fic

[clytemnestraaa]

also the humiliation just confuses me. hello moya lyubov i know we have just been lambasted by the media your team and the commissioner of the nhl and also everyone is doubting your skill and dedication to your one true calling and we have moved back to your hometown a little bit in shame,,,,do you think this would be a good time for me to humiliate you sexually? i know your entire life you've felt deep shame about your desires how about we do it some more? idk maybe there's something i'm not getting, i guess "the humiliation you can control" could be attractive, but i just can't see shane wanting it

i am indifferent to humiliation kink sure shane could be into it i don’t care it’s just that this scenario is putting shane hollander in his own version of get out

[clytemnestraaa]

and i do really believe that if shane hollander’s whiteass boyfriend every tried to feminize him or called him small or waifish or called his hole a pussy or bought him lingerie shane hollander would be justified in exploding the sun like that is literally such a specific horror movie dolly zoom effect moment. hello moya lyubov i know we have uprooted our entire lives for this and you’ve fought tooth and nail and faced ridicule and public humiliation for us to be together but i just want to say that racially fetishizing you makes my dick hard. wanna watch some hentai

[clytemnestraaa]

this is NOT about trans shane, this is about that abominable screenshot. sometimes ppl write humiliation kink and it’s like ohhh you’re including feminization in this scene by default because you think the most shameful thing anyone can be is a woman right right right
