It's a nightmare I know I know It's scary.
--
Those videos where the person shaves their beard and records their partners reaction afterwords. Troy would be devastated. Thank god its only a dream.

I want to try my hand at making some comics. I have some short sketches for them and ofc for hollanov at a certain clerb in montreal.
what is this genre of photos called
in absolute tears about the pride module at my work
HOLY SHIT GUYS, I WAS INSPIRED BY THIS POST TO TRY MAKE THE SONG AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I DRAGGED THE TRAINING AUDIO OVER THE BACKING TRACK AND IT LINED UP PERFECTLY
Tempted to actually put this on spotify so I can secretly stream it at work...
Tagging @batshit-auspol because as an Australian you're the only big account I know who might share (sorry).
happy first day of pride everyone
yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.
I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.
ilya telling shane about irina and how they were best friends and he hung out with her all the time and he was her protector and he would skip school on her bad days to brush her hair and make sure she ate something even if it was just tea and she was an angel and you know shane is calculating how best to gently bring up to his husband that that doesn’t sound like it was very fair to child ilya without ilya reacting like a wild fucking animal
ilya comes back from therapy with galina like three months after this fight (of course it was a fight) and with the same candor as ashley padilla in the mom confession sketch goes i’m only going to say this once and i’m only going to say it if after i do you promise you will not react no talking no faces no nothing and shane’s on the couch reading like uh. what’s going on? and ilya goes what i have to tell you. Is that I think I was treated unfairly. By my mom. and of course shane makes a face and ilya is reacting like a wild fucking animal
“You killed me Hollander. I am dead”.

Do u guys think Shane and Ilya make fun of the rest of the gay hockey society because they all got normcore boyfriends who make $40k a year
Shane: I mean I guess Fabian is an entrepreneur that’s gotta count for something right?
Ilya: [barely listening] yeah for sure. Should I buy this Rolls-Royce in yellow or red?
Shane: The yellow will clash with our garage.
Fic idea
In the post game interview after Shane trips a reporter asks Ilya if Shane let him win on purpose and Ilya goes “did you believe me all those years ago when I said Hollander was goalie? Is not his job to stand in goal and stop goals. If anyone let me win it was Drapeau, do you think he has a crush on me? Bad luck for him I only date good hockey players”
I may get around to writing it one day but if anyone else wants to give it a shot please go for it
ok i'm a shane's grandparents on yuna's side are dead kinda person but. it is fun to think about who they'd be if they were more involved in shane's life. here's some thoughts:
fully moved back to tokyo once yuna became an adult because canada "fucking sucks."
they only come back to canada to help raise shane when yuna mentions that she will just leave him with david's parents then. "i will not let my grandson turn into one of those snot-nosed no mannered canadian kids 🤬🤬🤬" etc etc etc
yuna calls every other week. she always starts the call in japanese but as they aggravate her more she starts slipping into entirely english
thinks it's so cool that shane plays hockey. however.
they love hockey the way my dad liked the golden state warriors in 2010 in that they just bandwagon the most popular/winning team of the era so they can fit in with their coworkers. good thing their grandson just so happens to be the best team in the league. this is a frequent bragging point.
personally i headcanon that shane's grandparents both got filthy rich off the 80's tech boom in japan and immediately fled the second shane's grandma felt like the stock market was about to go south which is why they then came to canada.
are very business-savvy. are entirely retired but are always running a side hustle. yuna is at work and is begging shane's grandparents to just drive him to hockey practice "that's ALL you have to do please" so shane has a lot of memories of either his grandpa or grandma in like a three piece suit l, wildly overdressed in comparison to the other adults by the rink, doing like, business bullshit always with the newest phone model pressed to their ear.
are very friendly to david's family to their faces i.e. when they talk to them in english. absolutely eviscerates them when they start speaking in japanese. just saying the most deranged and out of pocket shit about david's family while they are like three feet away and when yuna and shane are like "yo!!!! :/ relax wtf" they just shrug and are like "what??? it's the truth!"
are very nice to shane when he comes out. they are too old to care about shit like their wasian english-speaking grandson being gay. they do make one comment about how "it's weird how popular it is to be that way in canada!"
love ilya. are very politically incorrect about the fact he's russian however. just any time he comes over they only want to talk to him about putin. and national security. and how could he be gay, if they stone homosexuals to death there? and "is it true no one has any money and everyone lives in concrete buildings and can't buy shoes????!" when shane and yuna tell them to back off they nod and are like "it's okay. you all make good books though."
I need you guys to walk with me and understand that Ilya and Shane's first fuck as a married couple takes place on the edge of Ilya's bed ("Our bed, Hollander, our marital bed--" "Jesus fucking Christ Ilya--") while Usher Yeah! plays at bone-melting volume from the backyard and guys from three different hockey teams yell the lyrics even louder. Shane realizes that Ilya is inadvertently thrusting to the beat and for one very brilliant second it is the hottest thing ever. The mood is genuinely almost ruined when the song switches to Sweet Caroline. Harris should never be allowed to DJ again.
"SWEET CAROLINE. BUM BUM BUM." - Eleven highly inebriated hockey players and David Hollander, who's having great memories of his own wedding where they played the same song.
"Good times never seemed so good..." - Ilya Rozanov, whisper-singing to himself and completely unaware of it as he rails his husband into next Tuesday.
"Why is this hot. Oh my god why is this hot." - Shane Hollander, who at the age of thirty is still discovering things about himself.
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'm a firm believer that Cliff Marleau had to be told that Shane Hollander and Montreal Jane were the same person. I am of the belief that when the Fanmail video leaked, Cliff thought "oh, it must not have worked out with Montreal Jane but my boy bagged Shane fucking Hollander, so it's fine." He does think it's a little funny that both of the people Ilya's been seriously involved with are based in Montreal but he still doesn't put it together.
Ilya and Shane are not driving to games together. Ilya has bad bunny blasting and a Carmel macchiato in one hand. Shane is driving with his fifteen minute mindfulness meditation on and an agave sweetened electrolytes drink in the cup holder to be sipped only at stoplights.
They tried Shane’s way once together and Ilya fell asleep in the passenger’s seat still holding his macchiato (Shane had the car professionally cleaned during the game for fear that the seat would be permanently ruined if it waited until the next day). They tried Ilya’s way once and Shane had to pee all through warmups and nearly had a panic attack during the first period. It was deemed a necessity for their job security that they continue to drive separately and offset by 10 minutes so they don’t see each other on the road. (Ilya takes Anya out one more time after Shane leaves and then speeds the whole way there, so they only arrive five minutes apart.) When they are on the road, Shane gets the hotel room after their nap and Ilya hangs with Troy. (Troy doesn’t actually have a routine, he just goes with Ilya’s because it drowns out his other thoughts (that’s why Ilya goes with Ilya’s too))
“oh I’m too old for stuffed animals” skill issue. sorry you can’t appreciate little creatures made to hang out with you, I on the other hand am full of joyous whimsy and therefore vastly superior.
ilya telling shane about irina and how they were best friends and he hung out with her all the time and he was her protector and he would skip school on her bad days to brush her hair and make sure she ate something even if it was just tea and she was an angel and you know shane is calculating how best to gently bring up to his husband that that doesn’t sound like it was very fair to child ilya without ilya reacting like a wild fucking animal
