heated rivalry week day 2: favourite outfit/look | ilya in this tank top

[adhdevankinard]

I haven’t seen this discussed yet but it always make my heart ache when, during the first part of the post-funeral talk on the phone with Shane, Ilya says, “My brother is, I don’t know, scared. It makes him terrible.”

Not “My brother is terrible”

It’s “My brother is scared” and it’s because he’s scared that he acts terrible.

From what the audience has seen of his brother, he doesn’t deserve that kind of grace from Ilya. And yet, Ilya can look beyond his brother’s actions and words and see what’s at the core of him: a scared boy.

And then Ilya says, “It makes me terrible back.” Ilya doesn’t give himself the grace of saying something like, “I’m scared too. And it makes me terrible back.” Only that he acted terribly back at his brother. Yet all we’ve seen from Ilya is give his brother chance after chance and the only time we’ve seen him snap was when his brother insulted Svetlana.

something, something, Ilya can forgive anyone as long as it’s not himself.

This is also demonstrated in how Ilya took so much of Alexei’s abuse at the wake, because he believes he deserves it, but the second he insulted Svetlana, Ilya punched him.

Another example is saying his mother wasn’t weak for committing suicide but in TLG he regards his mental illness as something he needs to ‘fix’ to be good enough for Shane.

Thinking of Hollanov blanket forts with the Pike kids. The twins and Amber desperately beg Uncle Lily for a fort, which Ilya absolutely wants to accommodate, if only he had any idea what the fuck they were talking about. So they go get Uncle Shane, who is elbow deep in a complicated Lego structure with Arthur. At the mention of a fort, Arthur immediately abandons their project.

So they get building.

Ilya is still a little unclear as to the point of it all—it’s not like he ever built forts as a child—until they’ve put together a structure that spans most of the den, and Shane is ushering him inside.

It’s… cozy.

There are pillows and stuffed animals everywhere, the ceiling draped with fairy lights that pain their little cave with a soft glow. Ilya takes Shane’s offered hand as he leads him through the fort, settling in the large middle area and pulling Ilya down with him. Off to the side, Ruby and Jade attempt to build a “throne room”, while Arthur pulls in his iPad and gets settled beside them. When Amber reappears, she makes a beeline for her uncles, wedging herself firmly between them.

Ilya watches her get settled before turning to Shane, only to find him already looking back. “Nice?” Shane asks quietly. There’s a lump in Ilya’s throat and he nods, not trusting himself to speak. Really nice. Really, stupidly nice.

They sit in the moment for a bit, listening to the tap of Arthur’s small fingers and the twins arguing, before Ilya looks up at the ceiling and purses his lips. “Do you know what would make this even better?” He asks.

The girls fall silent.

“What?” Shane asks.

“Cookies.”

And that’s what Hayden and Jackie come home to: a dark house with a glowing fort in the den, a tray full of cookie crumbs and empty glasses of milk sitting just outside the entrance. And inside, a sleeping puppy pile of their children and their two uncles.

i know the like sad childhood of this all, but just imagine that ilya english is my second language being asked, like a fort? is this force? is it strong? and the kids have to be like its the blanket igloo house you make.

[tinylilhollander]

Just had the very chill cool autistic marketing coordinator thought that maybe the trick to feeling more at ease and in control in social situations is to treat myself like I would treat a brand. Like here's my brand vision, approved talking points and market strategies, brand presentation, brand voice, and unique sellling points. If I stick to those guidelines, I'll be able to successfully navigate social situations. And then I was like that's literally Shane Hollander. That's Shane's whole strategy. I'm doing the Hollander™.

oh does no one else feel like carter sitting at the closet table and talking about how he fucks w gay people actually meant like a lot tp shane + influenced him reaching out to ilya in person at the olympics … Like i actually feel like its one of the Kindest moments in the show its the exact kind of thing that u hold onto when ur in the closet

[naturalpr3y]

its like Insanely Beautiful to me the exact kindof casual allyship that shane desperately needed Even if it couldnt be For him . The idea that homophobia towards someone visually gay is Bad . Undeserved . That being gay anyways is Brave . Like 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[argillaforma]

after sex and ilya is about to pull out and shane's like no no no please cause he feels so good and he's so floaty and he wants ilya to be buried in him forever so ilya says okay okay and plants a kiss to his neck and they lie there connected for as long as physically possible until they inevitably come apart no matter how much shane tries to back into him and he actually whines when ilya slips out

[fandomsandstuff]

only solution is to plug him

[hollanovbiter]

no like the craziest part about hollanov is that when shane’s situationship of 8 years started crying his first instinct was to crawl in his lap. like what an insane thing to do for someone you don’t know that well. and of course freak4freak ilya eats it up

[scunthotter]

Let's all hold hands and agree that in season 2 both Shane and Ilya are trying their best and we will not pit two bad bitches against each other. 🤝
