My Blog, So There.

[lavenderprose]

i saw your post about crushing the watermelon and i sort of sat there staring into the middle distance for a second because i had made a post about this just a little bit before you (this is not a call out) and just. honestly, at this point it feels like a mind meld in the fandom, it's so funny to me and also. YES. i mean how do you look at shane hollander(’s thighs) and not immediately think about watermelon crushing. what you expertly mentioned but i didn't think of at the time: ilya would be between those thighs licking away the remnants of watermelon. i will be thinking about this for the rest of the day.

I SAW YOUR POST AFTER I MADE MINE AGHHH

We are all just vibing so hard that it's turning into a hive mind. Folie a deux, if you will, only it's all of us all the time. Great minds think alike or, as the Germans say, two idiots one thought.

I would like to share for posterity the video that inspired me to make that post. Fair warning you have GOT to watch this either alone or wearing headphones:

I don't know what wires are crossed in my brain because I am genuinely SUCH a lesbian but I do love men moaning.

So u watched Shane Hollander crouch at Ilya Rozanov's feet to comfort himself after a huge emotional upheaval and u think that's a couple that DON'T have some kind of 24/7 D/s thing going on. Latent or otherwise. Like okay! Okay. That's not even the first time we see Shane use submission as comfort but OKAY!!

Kneeling at his feet was Shane fucking Hollander. With the diligence and speed of long practice, Hollander finished tying Ilya's skate as if it was a perfectly normal thing to do.

Then he tilted his head back to look up at Ilya.

Hollander on his knees with the warmest brown eyes ever gifted to a human being, and his gorgeous freckles met Ilya's dumbfounded gaze and smiled ever so slightly.

"Hi, coach," Hollander said softly. "Sorry, I'm late.

Just saw a clip of a ref pulling a player out of a scrum (while scrappy doo was flailing trying to get back IN the scrum) and it felt so very rookie!shane to me. We have talked a bit about Shane’s style when it comes to fighting, for me he’s not always getting into them but I think he has a strong sense of justice. He does NOT want to let certain bullshit fly. Even as a rookie.

So I laugh at the idea of a ref grabbing 18 year old Shane, hissing and spitting, being like alright kid you got a few punches in but you need to work up to being in that big of a brawl

If there was ever a time Shane would have been more impulsive about fighting it would have been as a rookie, and also, anons have told me, that there’s like. There are specific situations in which fighting is so expected that you do it on principle, like if the other team fucks with your goalie. I think before I knew more about hockey, I could buy the idea that Shane never goes out of his way to fight, that he’s probably been in very few fights, etc., but I don’t anymore. I think Shane fights pretty regularly, or at least, it’s not an anomaly when he does. But when he chooses to fight is either very strategic to the game - this is just what needs to be done to win - or it’s to follow these unspoken codes, because first of all, when Shane has a script he follows it and perfects it, but secondly, I think that’s part of why he loves hockey and why he’s so good at hockey. It is so ritualistic at times, and Shane is very good at learning and following rituals. So like, in short, yeah I buy that for sure.

"They were like, 'Alrighty guys, whenever you're ready!' And then their little zoom bubble went away and it was just Hudson and I. We just kind of looked at each other for like five seconds and didn't say anything. ...At that point I was like, we're doing the same thing, we're making the same show, we're on the same page."

I KNOW David drops the most insane Dad Lore. He solved a murder once. He dated a prince for like 3 months in college. He almost joined a cult.

I love how some fics are called shit like "They Only Shoot The Birds Who Cannot Sing" and it's like the most insane porn you're ever read and then some fics are called Spit On Me and it's 18,000 words of the most achingly id-scratching prose you've ever read and they're both. They're both so fucking good. thank God for fanfiction.

Okay but Mark Watney who survives for a year and a half on Mars completely alone and gets to come home because the entire world chose to put everything aside to save him watching the Hail Mary video logs when they come back to Earth and watching the world do nothing?

Mark Watney watching Ryland Grace have to grapple with the fact that he will die and there is no amount of quick thinking or human help that can save him?

Mark Watney finding out Grace didn't volunteer to go to space and was instead sent as a sacrifice so the rest of them could live and getting fucking pissed on his behalf?

Mark Watney who knows what it is to starve on a foreign planet doing the math about Grace's remaining food supply when he decides to go back to save Rocky?

Mark Watney who realistically knows that there is nothing that can be done but who keeps watching the information come out about a middle school teacher who was probably going to die alone in space and not being able to stop thinking about it?

Mark Watney who had to be asked to stop proposing rescue missions because even if they could get funded, there was very little hope that Grace would still be alive even if they got to him?

Mark Watney with survivors guilt for a mission that he wasn't even on?

Mark Watney asking why me but not him?

I know they're not in the same universe and I know the timelines don't line up but just go with me here.
