Love how hollanov are secretly a mommy issues 4 mommy issues couple,,,

Shane, who has only ever taken his mother as a date to every MLH function he's been invited to since he was a teenager: Do you think it's weird that my mother is so involved in my professional life?

Ilya, who wears his dead mother's cross like an albatross around his neck every day of his life since he presumably lifted it from her corpse: No, no I don't think so - I think it's sweet she cares so much. It's nice that you're so close

[ineptshieldmaid]

Shitpost concept:

Everyone logical once they are Out: ah, Hollander and Rozanov will be each other’s plus ones

Ilya: I will be attending with my date, the greatest father-in-law in Canada, David Hollander. Please seat us near Shane Hollander and his date, CEO of the Irina Foundation, Yuna Hollander.

(They switch which parent which of them takes according to a logic which no one, least of all Yuna and David, can determine.)

(David retires a few years early to accommodate his unexpected career as a pseudo-WAG. SOMEONE has to cater the post-cup win party and Cassie Boodram has a toddler to be worrying about. David looks great in a bedazzled jacket.)

cabbie presents at the 2016 world cup of hockey

One thing that nearly always happens when you get at least two (2) athletes together (especially if they play a team sport) (especially, especially if they're hockey players) is that when they get excited, they celebrate like someone just scored a goal. They're jumping up and down, yelling, hugging, clapping each other on the back, pushing each other, jumping on each other, knocking themselves over, etc.

So I like to imagine Ilya and Shane doing this whenever something moderately exciting happens.

Ilya finally gets a recipe right that he's been working on for a week? Shane's tasting it and slamming Ilya against the pantry.

They beat a difficult level in their video game? That's a cup-winning level celebration that results in the couch nearly getting broken.

Shane passes his level 1 Russian language test? Ilya's jumping on him and knocking them both to the floor in celebration.

Anya tosses her ball up and it accidently lands in the decorative bowl on the coffee table? That's a goal and they're (gently) throwing themselves on the floor to celebrate with a very confused but very excited Anya.

On a completely unrelated note, they keep a strangely large amount of drywall repair materials and paint in their garage.

“What made you comfortable making this commitment to Trevor” and it’s a reporter talking to Danny B in a YouTube interview. Please use different words. I’m begging the Reporting community, you must use different words.

in terms of "dead dove" tropes in general one of my favourite ways to pervert an otherwise healthy and consensual relationship is to have one of the characters be responsible for something that was objectively and unsympathetically their fault and that they're determined to spend the rest of their lives making up for, but are unwilling (or unable) to confess to their new partner who only knows them as they are now and not as the shameful fuckup they once were, so they end up convincing themselves that they're essentially committing rape by deception - for the entirely selfish reason that is wanting to prove that they can succeed in obtaining and keeping one genuinely good, stable, unblemished thing in their life - by concealing it. but because they both desire comfort and don't feel that they deserve it they continue to do so, going so far as to try to prevent their partner from being exposed to any situation or interaction where they might learn the truth, even as it becomes a case of using them and the relationship to self-harm to satisfy their unresolved guilt that only grows with each passing moment.

and then, just when they've finally started to relax and let themself consider that maybe, just maybe, they do actually deserve to be happy and move on with their life, that's when the other shoe drops and their partner stumbles across the information that fleshes out and gives shape to the unspoken thing that's been hanging over their relationship since day one, to the point that they'd adjusted to living in its shadow, in the least favourable circumstances possible. building your home in someone only to find out that your house is haunted and the spectre has been in the room with you this entire time >>>>>
