Ok girlies time for our prescription 1-2 hour walk, imagine we r all in line like Madeline
in an old website on the internet all covered in vines, lived some lovely little mutuals in two straight lines..
You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.
#ilya baby get behind me
HEY HELLO JUST GIVE ME THE GUN INSTEAD
(sorry @joyousmistake these tags killed me)
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
“…I had a thing with one of my teammates. It doesn’t matter who, and I’m not going to tell you. …The truth was, I’d been half in love with him before we first hooked up… I was nuts about him. But he was… he said he didn’t feel that way about me.”
“It all fell apart when I told him I loved him.”
- the long game, ch. 32
we all know coach brandon wiebe had a “thing” with a former teammate.
what if that teammate had been david hollander?
"Hey," said David beside him. He grabbed Brandon's hand instinctively and squeezed his fingers, just for a second, before dropping it just as quick. "Seriously, stop worrying. My family's fine. They're glad you're coming."
Brandon tried to laugh it off. "I mean, they should be," he huffed. "I'm the guy who's been making you look good all season."
His attempt at bravado died, though, as the bus pulled into the station. The doors swung open, he and David disembarked and collected their bags, and made their way toward the parking lot.
David only had to scan around once before spotting what he was looking for: a bronze station wagon with faux wood trim wrapped around the sides with a small woman in a tan coat waving a hat over her head to get their attention. "There's Mom," he announced as he began to stride toward his mother.
Brandon swallowed his nerves and followed after. He wasn't religious in the slightest, yet he found himself praying that he didn't exude some sort of aura that screamed Hi Mrs. Hollander, I'm Brandon Wiebe, and I've been deflowering your son.
chapter 8 is FINALLY up. merry shitscram from the hollanders.
Where’s that one post that’s like Reasons Why My Wife Cried This Week and when are we gonna get a fanfic of that but Ryland Grace.
Reasons my human has cried:
* New student, very small. Grace said it was pebble. Pebble is small Earth rock. Pebble likes name.
* He found out Eridians have no gender rules.
* Students brought him mineral sample. After he stopped crying he said he loves show-and-tell game. Human naming conventions oddly literal.
* I told him Earthsun grew bright.
* I took him up atop atmosphere bypass elevator to look at stars.
* He woke up from nap and found me still with him. I did not wait on his chest; he says I am heavy like “elephant” and he “couldn’t breathe.” I laid my arm over him instead, kept him close, feeling safe. He said “cuddle” was warm.
* Before class he heard younglings singing.
* He has plants in house from sprouts on ship. Plant grew “bud.”
* Engineers got seawater temperature right. He took off shoes and stood in water, sighing. He didn’t care about pants getting damp. Cried until shirt was also damp. Humans very endlessly wet.
* He missed “Doritos.”
* Adrian helped food scientists make taumoeba dried paste. Made it crunchy after heating. We fused it into triangle form. Told him it was Tauritos. That made him laugh-cry. Laugh-cry is rare and precious.
* He remembered Eridians have no gender rules.
* We made him celebration outfit. Used metals he calls pretty. He can see frequencies named “colorful” and “shiny.” These make humans happiest.
* I gave him hug when he wasn’t expecting it. Easier to hug close now with exosuit. Hug when Grace sitting down so he does not fall over.
* Told him to think long time, stay with me as long as he can.
This is Tie, she is going to eat all of the notes
reblog to feed her notes
How is she doing this
huge fan of the depth of a good purple but another area that draws me is definitely around aquamarine/turquoise/seafoam. you can not go wrong once the green starts getting just a tinge more blue. a gal could certainly do worse than to pull over there and stay a while
something earth shattering going on here
this is why one of my favorite all-time paintings is Ship in Stormy Seas by Ivan Aivazovsky... he was really onto something there
a close up to just... light shining through those waves, makes me feel faint with exhilaration every time
THERE IS A BOAT BY IVAN AIVAZOVSKY!!
Ivan Aivazovsky could paint glowing water. One of the GOATs for sure.
Hey can you guys reblog Cheeseburger so he can take a sunbeam nap on lots of blogs. No other reason I just want you guys to see him.
So, Cheeseburger died on November 21st after an unfairly short battle with an unfairly rare cancer that is rarely seen in cats. I only got to spend a month with him after his diagnosis, and losing him has been the greatest heartbreak of my entire life so far. He was my best friend and my soul cat, and he was there for me when I was completely alone, for twelve long years.
I made this transparent PNG the night he died in preparation for one of the many ways I was going to memorialize him--a surface rug in his likeness that I planned on laying directly in the line of his favourite sunbeam. And I uploaded that PNG here, because this is the website where people post their cats.
I was not expecting the reception I got. Many people have pointed out that this post has more reblogs than likes, and how insane that is in 2025 when reblog culture is at an all time low. I didn't even talk about the fact that Burger passed away in the original post, it wasn't a tearjerker reblog bait or anything like that. People just loved Burger that much, in the same way I fell in love with him at first sight. He was such an ugly kitten.
Anyways, it's really special to me that so many people have reblogged my best friend. I made this PNG to memorialize him in a completely different way, and you all wound up doing just that in ways I never even imagined.
Thank you. Wherever he is, I know the sun is shining.
one flesh, one end
I think ao3 should have both a kudos button and a separate I jerked it and came while reading your fic button btw
I think this might be my fifteenth HEATED RIVALRY recs set? Some embarrassing stats: I do about 45 recs per set, so that's almost 700 recs. And I literally have 3,295 fics in my Heated Rivalry folder on my reader. And that's just the ones I know I'm interested in reading. I've mostly been saving the omegaverse fics for later, I'm still in canon-adjacent phase, so that will be an interesting day when I tip over into the madness. And I also haven't gone through the tag to save today's fics yet, which could be anywhere from 30 to 50 new ones. I need two weeks on a deserted island with only an hour of internet each morning to collect the new fics, just to break even here.
Which isn't actually a complaint because there have been so many absolute BANGER fics still being put out, like, my heart feels absolutely scrubbed raw from all the angst punching me in the feelings, but also I have laughed out loud so many times, and there's a lovely amount of fic that does the work to explore the side characters (PLEASE KEEP FEEDING ME MORE JACKIE PIKE, FANDOM, I LOVE WHAT FANDOM IS DOING WITH HER) or alternate universes, I am determined to read all of the Bears!Shane fic I can get my hands on and I will hunt down Voyageurs!Ilya fic and I will read all the Ilya & Kip being bitchy friends and I will read Ilya making Scott's life hell and I will find all the lovely exploration of Shane's autism, both in diagnosed and undiagnosed but clearly there forms. Like, say what you will about the horrors of the fandom, but there are some truly excellent upsides in the fic!
HEATED RIVALRY - NO I WON’T BE CHILL ABOUT THE GAY HOCKEY PLAYERS SHOW:
A Danger to Yourself or Others by onetrueharem, ilya/shane & david/yuna & hayden/jackie & galina, NSFW, suicidal ideation/themes, 37.1k "Most phones these days have an option to let certain numbers ring through, even on Do Not Disturb. Do you think he'd be open to setting that up for you?" Imagining that conversation made Ilya nauseous. Yes, no fucking doubt, Shane would be open to it if Ilya explained the reason. "I'm not going to ask him to do that."
sure grandpa, let’s get you to bed by goldenraeofsun, ilya/shane & scott/kip, 7.8k Scott can’t stand Ilya Rozanov. Sure, Rozanov is a generational wunderkind, but he’s also annoying as hell and always ready with a chirp. “Do you have a spot in the nursing home yet, Hunter? I am hearing from my grandma they go fast!” “Are you getting tired? It must be past your bedtime already!” “What kind of skating is that? Is your arthritis acting up again?”
Shane's Lily by midnighttypewriter, ilya/shane & david/yuna & hayden, 15k After Shane's accident on ice, Yuna sees Lily messaging him and decides to make a phone call.
The Great Jane Debacle of 2016 by Anonymous, ilya/shane & cliff & bears, 7.7k how the Raiders---in particular the long suffering Cliff Marleau, dealt with the Great Jane Debacle of 2016, told in a series of texts, posts, and Cliff being the best Bostonian friend Ilya could ask for
mistakes have been made by UglyGreenJacket, ilya/shane & troy/harris & centaurs, 4.8k Ilya: Troy came out to the team a few days ago and then asked me for your number Shane: And you thought it would be a good idea to give it to him?
Reckless & Young by some1_around, ilya/shane & bears, nsfw, 30.1k A prank-gone-wrong leads to the Boston Bears finding out about Shane and Ilya’s relationship in 2016. The day Ilya first invited Shane into his house. Right after they say each other’s names for the first time. Fuck his life, honestly.
hope it hurts like you hurt me by gurlsrool, ilya/shane & voyageurs, NSFW, 5.5k Shane reunites with his former teammates at J.J.'s bachelor party. He's finally ready to say (and maybe punch) his piece.
lay me down on the altar, and forever’s what i’ll vow by justhockey, ilya/shane & centaurs, NSFW, 8.1k “Am I too boring for you?” He doesn’t mean to ask. Doesn’t mean for those words to come out. They fall from his lips before he has a chance to stop them, and the second they’re out there he wants to take them back. He wants to swallow them down so they can’t hurt anyone but himself. Because Ilya…Ilya flinches. “What.”
The Change by dntat, ilya/shane, NSFW, 6k As his eyes adjusted to the gloom, Ilya understood why Shane had been so insistent on him coming over. He had been struck by the change. The one no one could understand. That science couldn’t explain and was still rarely spoken about out loud.
The Great Jersey Mix-Up of 2018 by dprkives, ilya/shane & hayden & j.j., 5.6k Shane accidentally wears Ilya’s jersey to his team practice. The Voyageurs react about as well as is to be expected, and Hayden jumps to some very confident and very incorrect conclusions.
a golden star, you think you're clever by sargeantwoof, ilya/shane & bears, 4k “Jesus fuck,” Marley says, before he gets a look at Ilya's smug face and rolls his eyes. “At least tell me you didn't bite her back." He shakes his head, grinning. “She is most fussy,” he says. “No marks, Rozanov; no shoes in the house, asshole; stop picking me up and throwing me on my bed, I just made it, dickhead,” he mocks, before he gestures at his shoulder. “And then she rides me for three hours and bites me like a vampire. These things I must suffer through.”
It's all Canadian Vodka's fault by FriPie, ilya/shane & david/yuna & hayden, nsfw, suicidal ideation/themes, 26.3k In the early hours of Saturday, the Hockey world was ablaze with the news that Ilya Rozanov was dead. Killed in a tragic car accident leaving behind a slew of devastated fans and a grieving husband still reeling in shock. The news also came as an incredible shock to Ilya when he awoke that same day, hungover and bleary, but very much alive.
the golden boy and my worst regret by Goldie020202, ilya/shane & cast, NSFW, 34.8k wip In 2022, Ilya wakes up in a hospital in Ottawa with no memory of how he got there. He has hazy recollections of 2015, but he can't remember anything about the past seven years. He is shocked to learn he is now married to Shane Hollander, a fact that forces him to reconcile the decisions of his past self with the expectations he inherited from his father.
clean up on aisle 2 by hnjsngs, ilya/shane, NSFW, 8.1k Ilya forgets to do the dishes, so Shane implements a sex ban. He fails.
locker room talk by spacegoose, ilya/shane & cliff & cast, nsfw, 5.5k The picture is leaked on a random fucking Tuesday in November, months after Ilya was last in Montreal. Grainy and dark, enhanced digitally to shit but still just recognisable enough; Shane Hollander smiling dopily as a broad-shouldered man in a dark hoodie has him pushed up against a red brick wall, one knee lifted to hook around the back of a thigh, a large hand possessively holding it in place as the hooded figure has his face hidden in the crook of Hollander’s neck — presumably kissing him there, intimately. Ilya knows his team is good, and they do the best they can.
Anya's Big Heist by Anonymous, ilya/shane, 3.4k "If we let her sleep in the bed as a puppy, she's going to want to sleep in the bed when she's sixty pounds." Ilya had looked at him with great patience. "Then she will sleep in bed when she is sixty pounds." "That's not—Ilya. That's not a solution to the problem, that's just describing the future problem." "I know," Ilya had said, pleasantly, and that had been that.
you're sofa king good by smugrobotics, ilya/shane, NSFW, 1.6k Win or lose, his teammates knows better than to try to get Shane to come out after playing Boston. They throw exhausted goodbyes his way as he leaves, but Shane barely hears them—all he can think about is getting behind a closed door with Rozanov. Or: an extension of the smash cut slam-fuck scene in episode four's opening montage
The Ilya Tax by daisy_pear, ilya/shane & david/yuna, 2.2k Yuna and David didn't realize it when Ilya first came to their home, but they just started paying the Ilya tax. --OR-- Ilya likes to confiscate (steal) pictures of Shane from his parent's house. He can't help it, his boyfriend as a kid is just so cute! And Yuna and David are selfish to keep them all to themselves.
MORE RECS UNDER THE CUT because I had more to yell about with the incredible fic in this fandom.
I just think it would be very funny to explore, in a world where even if no trade clauses don't exist, Montreal would N E V E R trade Shane Hollander, no matter how homophobic a team the Voyageurs/Metros are about it. He is a generational talent, literally the best player in the world. They would trade every single other person on that team combined before they would trade Shane "Brought Them THREE Stanley Cup Trophies In A Decade" Hollander. No, they don't care that he tripped that one time, THREE CUPS IS THREE CUPS. Oh, his team is refusing to pass to him, not defending him when he has the puck, they're "accidentally" smashing him into the boards, and they can't win games because the on-ice chemistry is bad because none of them (except Pike and Boiziau) are working with him? In a heartbeat Montreal would say: Okay, trade every single one of those motherfuckers, we're building a new team around Hollander specifically. Comeau and Drapeau, specifically, get the fuck out. And, if you're so inclined in fic, hey, since the other Voyageurs/Metros are gone, we have a ton of cap space left and Rozanov's contract with Boston is up, sure, let's try to lure him over, too, if you want them on the same team. Montreal would not let Shane Hollander go without claw marks for real. They will kick everyone else off that team and say, okay, Hollander, who do you think will work best on your team with you? if that means they get to keep him.
okay but hudson saying that playing shane actually made his muscles sore and stiff because of how tense shane is all the time makes me laugh imagining ilya offering a massage in what was meant to just be playful foreplay, but then he starts doing it and is just 🤨🤨 jesus??? 🤨🤨 hollander, do you have muscles that AREN'T knots??? 🤨
and at first shane keeps trying to turn over because this foreplay is taking too long, and ilya is just *tsk noise and shoving his head back into the pillow but in a way that's never been less sexual between them in their entire time together* stay down, hollander, this is painful to witness how the fuck do you skate with these fucked muscles-
i need everyone to let me lay my head in their lap while they pet my hair and make soothing noises and tell me i'm doing such a good and brave job marketing this book. fuckin sisyphean indignity of hurling it at instagram over and over and getting basically no traction whwkwhfwlfwhjsklgfwhjkl
meanwhile my BELOVED FELLOW TUMBLRINI are being so INCREDIBLY kind and generous with the signal boosting and the general interest and encouragement, i am so grateful
#wait wait wait wait wait hold the fuck up#i was like ‘omg ariaste?? like ariaste from ao3?? like ariaste author of some of my favorite mdzs fics ever????’#‘they have a tumblr?! (how did this not occur to me before lol)’#and then ‘omg ariaste has a BOOK i must read it immediately’#then i go to their tumblr and am SLAPPED IN THE FACE by the fact that ariaste and alexandra rowland are the same person#like. ‘yield under great persuasian’ alexandra rowland.#you’re telling me tam beckett and attempting the impossible au!jiang cheng are written by the same person???? mind. blown.#*becket#this is like when i found out naomi novik was astolat all over again#sorry op you probably have this happen to you all the time it’s just my little mind is struggling to absorb this into rn lol (via @jcbmcdrmtt) it has only happened to me a handful of times (i am not nearly as famous and cool as @astolat) but it IS delightful fun to harmlessly jumpscare people in this way, i must admit.
extra funny in this case because i believe my AO3 username was listed in the bio at the back of Yield Under Great Persuasion lmaooooo
anyway hi hello yes it is me. a gremlin making questionable choices about doing a kickstarter and now i have played myself with having to do all this promo
something in the water - Chapter 6
listen to the chapter (09:04 min) | read the chapter (1,541 words) Ilya/Shane (Shane & Rose, Shane & Svetlana) 5+1, Card Games, Shane Hollander is Good at Cards, Canon Compliant, PoV Outsider, PoV Multiple
Summary:
“I can always play poker,” Hollander says, far slower than he’d recited the stats. “What are you playing?” “Durak,” Ilya says when the others just look expectantly at him. After a beat, Hollander seems to muster up his courage. “Can I join?” * Or: Five times people learn the still waters of one Shane Hollander hide a veritable card shark, and one time Ilya gets to see a different side.
This is finally complete! Thank you to @iceouthr for organizing this cool fundraiser, and to DevilWithABirdDress for prompting this cool setup!
Shane-goes-to-Boston Fic Recs
This is hands down my favorite trope in the HR fandom right now. I love every version of it and there are so many great stories that deserve to be highlighted and celebrated. If you haven't given this type of story a shot so far, I can only implore you to give one of the following fics a shot.
And if you have more recs or feel inspired to write your own fic, please for all that is hollzy share. the. link. with. me.!!! I'm serious. I need more food.
A Ghost in Boston by sostarry: Complete. Ilya gets outed while in Russia. Which ends with Shane joining the Bears. It'll make sense, I promise!
all the stars aligned by heydoeydoey: Shane Hollander literally blows up his own 10 year plan on the first day back to work and, like Ilya, I love him for it. Such a great story. First part in the series is complete.
Better Days To Come by PlatitudinalTeen: Complete. Oneshot. One thing I really love about this one is that Shane chooses to come to Boston for Ilya and himself as opposed to a lot of trade fics, where he has either no or litte control over the situation. A wonderful read.
Boston Boys by xpityx: WIP. Shane gets traded before the tuna meltdown. They're both trying their best and somehow the vibe is just very sweet. I really appreciate how great the team is too and how you can see through some of their interactions with Shane how they support Ilya.
Home Ice Advantage by taywrites11: First part in series is complete. And absolutely wonderful. Shane gets traded in his rookie season and that experience shapes him. Ilya is the consent king we know and love. I love the way their relationship has the chance to develop differently here and also the way Shane's relationship to his parents is explored. Cannot reccommend this enough.
Recalculating the Ten Year Plan by MegsChaos: WIP. After All Stars 2017 and an ugly betrayal by the Metros (fuck the Metros) Shane gets traded to Boston. Both he and Ilya are trying their best while navigating their still very new relationship. Beautiful. I cannot wait to see where it's going. As an added bonus: also contains social media posts.
Shane Hollander is not a Coward by crimson_lunar_473: WIP. Shane gets traded for reasons. The reasons being that the Metros are assholes, which we're not gonna question because we hate the Metros in this house. Also Shane gets to be unhinged as a treat.
something you can fix by some1_around: Three completed parts in this series. One of the two reasons I fell head over heels in love with this trope and never looked back. Part 1 hurts despite the comfort, but Part 2 makes up for all of it and then some. Wonderful character development, some bittersweet moments and so much genuine love. Also the hospital scene with Victor and Cliff is maybe the entire reason why I love those two characters. 10/10 read at any time.
The Great MHL Seduction by Lady_of_War_and_Heartache: WIP. Only 2 chapters so far but the premise is just *sighs dreamily and stares into the middle distance* I need Ilya to publicly "woo" Shane to the Bears so bad, you have no idea.
Tiny Moves by cassykay: WIP. Technically we don't know that Shane will go to Boston yet but I am very hopeful, so I've decided it counts. Supportive Bears for Ilya is really all I ever want from a fanfic and I cannot wait for them to force-adopt Shane too. Also I absolutely adore the hospital scene *chefskiss*
(We Could Be) Something Great by Anonymous: WIP. Second of two reasons I fell head over heels in love with this trope. Absolute Must Read. I cannot oversell this. Even if you don't read WIPs, you need to make an exception. Go read it now. You will not regret it. (KIDNAPPED SHANE (AFFECTIONATELY)!!! THE FEELS!!!!!! THE SOFTNESS!!!!!!!!!!)
