I'm a firm believer that Cliff Marleau had to be told that Shane Hollander and Montreal Jane were the same person. I am of the belief that when the Fanmail video leaked, Cliff thought "oh, it must not have worked out with Montreal Jane but my boy bagged Shane fucking Hollander, so it's fine." He does think it's a little funny that both of the people Ilya's been seriously involved with are based in Montreal but he still doesn't put it together.

I saw a post about Shane and Ilya being sad that they can't thank each other in their acceptance speeches like other can with their spouses and it got me thinking:

Ilya wins his first awards and hes got nobody he really wants to thank after his team and coach cause he he hates his family but he knows his speech is too short so on impulse he goes "And I want to thank Shane Hollander for being slightly worse than me this season". Everyone knows it was going to one of those two, so everyone thinks hes an asshole to say that but whats new so it works for him. But from then on it then becomes a bit for both of them to thank each other in their speeches in a snide way as a reason they won.

Shane winning the Art Ross Trophy (Awarded to the player who leads the league in total points at the end of the regular season). and going "special thanks to Rozanov for missing at least 5 shots this season, he was a huge help"

Ilya winning the Conn Smythe Trophy (Awarded to the most valuable player for his team in the playoffs.) "Just want to give a quick shout out to Hollander for getting knocked out in the second round this season. Must hate to see me up here."

They find a way to mention the other in their speeches every time all the time.

once shane moves in with ilya and they’re able to codependencymax i think shane’s parents (probably yuna) broach the topic of how theyre together all the time but shane cuts her off before she can even say anything with “I know!! isn’t it great we get to do everything together it’s the best!!! we thought we’d have to wait until we retired but we get to play together and live together and i’m very happy and Ilya is too!!!” and she’s like okay honeymoon period got it and then like 5 years later thinks about trying again but decides it’s not worth it because those two want to live in eachothers skin but that’s not possible to this will do.

nothing funnier and sadder to me than Ilya spending all of Heated Rivalry holding himself back from telling Shane everything he's going though because they're not Like That only to keep holding himself back when they do become a couple because he doesn't want to chase Shane off by being an emotional burden. Like bro thats your dedicated soulmate he's literally begging you to open up so he can give you a big hug and soothe all your worries c'moonnnnn

“There's a full spectrum of emotions...”

“I like the animal thing when...”

“Shane can't look at Ilya...”

“That scene is intimacy...”

“For Parrell...”

“Was there any moment...”

“Your micro-expressions...”

“As for scenes that I think they improved...”

i am an “ilya is shane’s baby and shane is ilya’s man” truther. ilya is “my man my man my man”-ing all over town, his boyfriend/husband is THE Shane Hollander, rich hockey player/model, did you know that? did you know? and Shane is quietly paying for all of everything (with their shared bank account) and carrying Ilya’s bag in one hand and holding his hand with the other and opening the car door and pulling Ilya into his chest at night to hold him tight and whispering “my baby” into his ear.

crucially, they are both so beside themselves about this that it makes them both cry a little.

The difference between writing hookup hollanov and writing post-cottage hollanov is that post-cottage those bitches are chatting. Gossiping. They're chewing the fat and shooting the breeze. How was your day? Did you hear about the suspension? Do you want chicken for dinner? Do you want to watch a movie after? How was the drive? What's that new protein powder your trainer has you on? I'm going to put the Flyers game on I need you to explain what the fuck you were thinking when you made that pass to Marleau. They can't wait to tell each other shit. When they're long distance I think they wait to tell each other juicy gossipy things so that they have good stuff to talk about in person. Crucially, they do not talk about anything important.

Man I know Shane ruined Ilya's sleepover plans but he really made up for it in spades. I'm sorry I couldn't spend the night; please come to my house for two weeks. You bought me ginger ale; let me buy you Cokes and Doritos and water shoes. You made me a tuna melt; let me make you more burgers than we can eat. You asked me questions I didn't know how to answer; let me make sure you know I'm going to be as honest as I can. I'm sorry I got scared and ran away when you asked for more; let me stay up all night planning the rest of our lives.
