Ilya + comforting Shane

[unlikecharlie]

I'm going to say something so controversial yet so brave but I disagree with the general consensus that Scott clocked hollanov before they came out.

That man hasn't clocked shit. He's a billion years old and has kill bill sirens blaring and gay war flashbacks flashing in his mind at all times while hollanov are exchanging room numbers and being in love while telling themselves they're gonna break it off next time. Scott Hunter is being haunted by his own gay thoughts and failures as a hockey player the entire time, there is no way he clocked anyone's shit, especially his own 💀

The jokes are funny (and i may have joined in on a good ol' baby vs hydrogen bomb joke or two) but it's so obvious his dig at Shane in that fight was about sounding like his greatest rival (aka a known and 'hated' asshole) and how that makes SHANE an asshole, likely because he'd played against the Bears just the day before and Ilya's own chirps were fresh on his mind.

Even at the rookie award afterparty, it's so obvious that when Shane gets weird about the 'your boy rozanov' comment, Scott gets even WEIRDER and basically goes "haha of course not YOUR boy i just meant like your BOY, your buddy, your pal, your archrival yk? Not YOUR boy 😅 cause that'd be weird. And gay. Which you're not. And I'M not 😅😅😅😅 haha. Anyway, how about those shots? 😃"

Episode four fucks me up for a lot of reasons but that opening montage especially is peak cinema. Two and a half years playing out in five minutes but for once we actually get to see the passage of time occur. The clear illustration of their different social lives. Ilya going out at every opportunity, picking up women, drinking, staying detached, staying numb. Shane jogging with Hayden and staying in, reading, taking every sponsorship, never letting loose. The intercut workout scenes, the playful texting, the barely concealed longing. Checking the schedules, eagerly anticipating their next chance to meet up. That. Fucking. Smash cut. Ilya slamming him into the boards then slamming into him on the couch. Shane's back-to-back wins, Ilya's earnest pride, his played up frustration. That champagne scene. Shane being more interested in sending a cheeky text than celebrating with his teammates. Their summers spent apart, texting, their winters spent on the ice, meeting up. Them barely being able to break apart from each other long enough to actually take their clothes off or get to the bedroom. Their phones constantly kept close, constantly being checked, neither one wanting to reach out without reason but always hoping the other one has. The stark contrast between their family lives, Shane being managed by his mom, chatting with his dad, Ilya taking care of his rapidly deteriorating father. Ilya growing disinterested in finding other available partners. Svetlana clocking the change in him. My Moon My Man playing throughout all of it. Honestly, poetry in motion.

How much do you think it fucked Ilya's brain to be the only human being who gets to witness Shane *standing man emoji* Hollander show up to every hook up walking awkwardly and standing in a manner that makes his huge athletic body look 2 apples tall and not knowing what to do with his hands and the spongebob brain fire meme is happening inside his head trying to start a conversation and looking around nervously up until the second Ilya's lips touch his and this bitch turns into a full fucking sex machine tank full of horny fuel rubbing himself on Ilya's dick like he's trying to light a match on a brick wall climbing him like a spider monkey scratching his back and peeling off enough skin to put him behind bars for attempted murder dropping to his knees nuzzling his face on Ilya's crotch and swallowing his dick like it's the only meal he can eat call that a macrobiodick diet and he's ripping Ilya's clothes off and bending over the first piece of furniture in sight and as soon as he's done getting his ass ate he's throwing Ilya on the bed and riding him like a cowboy from the Academy Award winning cowboy movie of his namesake (I just found out about Shane 1953 like 2 seconds ago) and reducing Ilya to a babbling pathetic Russian mess begging to come.

And as soon as they're done, Shane walks out of the bathroom like he just fell from an alien ship and has no idea what planet he's on. He's standing in the doorway fiddling with his hands and waiting for a signal to bolt out of the room like his ass is on fire.

surprisingly, i feel like this is a very much underrated hollanov kiss

I also like you. Lucky me.

And that's all you need to know about Heated Rivalry.

I know we’ve talked about this before but the retroactive realization for Shane Hollander that Ilya has been his future husband the entire time must have sent that boy spinning. What do you mean I introduced myself to my future husband. What do you mean my husband was there standing beside me the day I got drafted. What do you mean I jerked off to thoughts of my husband on the most important day of my entire life up to then. What do you mean my husband took my virginity. My husband and I watched each other grow up. My husband and I fell in love for the first time together. My husband was my first ex. My husband has been the most consistent, sensual, irritating, understanding, solid, loving presence in my entire life. Since I became a man, the thoughts I have reached for to comfort myself or bring myself pleasure have been those of my husband. I memorized the moles on my future husband’s body before I fully understood the wants and needs of my own. My husband taught me how to pleasure a man by pleasuring me. The first person I willingly came out to was my husband. My friends have NEVER known me at a time in my life when I was not in love with my husband.

[gaynehollander]

The fact of the matter is that people in Shane's life would generally assume he's incredibly awkward about sex. Honestly, it's hard to imagine him ever even having it.

So when they find out that he's apparently been with Ilya Slut Extraordinaire™ Rozanov for years it's genuinely baffling. Because if he locked up the NHL's presumed Most Laid Player that unsociable, sober, macrobiotic-diet-having, hockey-hyperfixated motherfucker must be getting his back broken on the daily.
