hockey is the gayest sport

shhh I'm trying to manifest a Check, Please! TV show! this blog is more Heated Rivalry than anything else, but I just drop all my fandom stuff here so there will be PWHL, One Piece, Murderbot, Project Hail Mary, Ted Lasso, Deadloch, Stranger Things, and whatever else I'm feeling at the moment. millennial. gender fluid, any pronouns. Autistic. RiverCityBlueKitty on AO3.

Me and my mutuals when we enter any fandom:

[ilyapasta]

Anyway married Hollanov have a mutual crush on Carter. Like they come home from games and nights out at the Kingfisher like "what a class act Carter is, just a great guy" like gushing about him so sincerely and then they both have a laugh about it and are feeling latent jealously for each other's crush but they both have the crush so neither can get mad lmaoooo

But if Shane has a crush on Carter, and Ilya also has a crush on Carter, WHO'S going to instigate the possessive jealous fuck-fest that they have at least twice during the normal season and at least once during playoffs when they feel like they need to re-stake their claims on each other?

(Sometimes also at the cottage when Shane lingers at the mailbox too long shooting the breeze with the mailman, Ilya waits like a crouching tiger in the entryway)

So instead they pivot (they're so good at pivoting and yes anding each other at this point) and it's one of those nights when Ilya pins Shane to the bed like "We'll bring Vaughan in to watch you, yes? He'd be so nice, so sweet to you while I take what I need? That what you need, Hollander, someone to be nice to you?"

And Shane "has never once wanted Ilya to be nice to him" Hollander will spit back like "It would make for a nice CHANGE," fully baiting Ilya, so then Ilya gets to manhandle Shane onto his belly and just take and take like "I'll show everyone who you belong to" and it's just a nice wholesome evening for them all things considered

okay I love the Cliff and Raiders reaching out to "Jane" because Roz-is-being-a-nightmare fics as much as the next person...

except that there is no way that Marly doesn't have hollanders number saved already(!!!)

listen, there are sooo many Whatsapp group chats when your on sports teams: the major junior team, WJC, a different gc for ever season with the raiders bc guys are traded, multiple All-Stars years and chats per year (overall group, the individual teams, that random assortment of guys you want to hang out with while you're all in the same place bc even if not all of them are friends with each other you’re friends with them all and they'll get along well)

and on Whatsapp most people will have there display name attached to their number so even if you don't have their number saved you know who they are

i'm just saying Marly would get ahold of Ilya's phone, find Jane's number, send it to himself. When he goes to send Jane a message it would come up as "Maybe: Shane Hollander"

Shane and Yuna have the same taste in men. Send tweet.

Reblogging this again to add my two cents/ramble but I know nothing about hockey beyond what HR has taught me, so like, look away if I get things wonky.

I love this so much and I don’t think it’s something anyone would really pick up on but it does make me think about Yuna and David and their beginning.

Maybe when they’re at McGill, David is a bruiser on the ice, a ragebaiter like Ilya but using his big, big shoulders to check and block and get in the way of other players and then giving them a smile, ever so polite ‘whoops didn’t see you there’ until they lose their shit and start shoving him.

Maybe this earns him a reputation as being a bit of a bimbo (of course this is long before we coined the term himbo being the early/mid eighties) but David Hollander is known as being “a nice guy but, you know, a big dumb Hockey Player. Can you believe his major is Accounting and Financial Planning? Surely they’re just passing him so he can play, they did it all the time for the dumb jocks in high school”.

His teammates know better of course but that’s part of the play so they’re not gonna correct anyone by telling them about David being wicked smart and his 4.0.

But Yuna doesn’t need to be told. Her eyes track each calculated interference David plays, can see it line up in the play the team makes, the way it throws off the opponents just enough for David to steal the puck, sink the goal and feign surprise it happened at all.

And when David sees her looking and responds with a a grin and cheeky wink, well, Yuna just wants to talk hockey, it doesn’t mean she’s charmed.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with the strong lines of his jaw and cheekbones and the way his sweaty curls make his face almost angelic, shut UP Sandra. It’s just coffee to talk about hockey.

It's Girls' Night, baby

There's a socmed video about hockey players from different teams and their movie look alikes.

Ilya gets compared to a young Patrick Swayze from Dirty Dancing.

Hayden gets compared to Andy from Toy Story.

When the video is posted on the official MLH instagram account, it instantly goes viral. Shane gets a call from Ilya that evening and the first five minutes are just Ilya laughing.

Week 8 of @shanesummerfest and the theme is..

Game Changers Camp:) Featuring Shane being done with Lilya's never ending shenanigans. And poor Pricey having to witness it all.

[graysonsmullet]

Shane actually gets his competitiveness from David which Ilya find out when he enters him and David into a puzzle doing competition over the summer

interviewer: Mr. Rozanov, have you had a chance to visit any Ottawa landmarks?

ilya: yes, I went to the art museum. I like the spider statue.

shane: when did you go to the art museum??

ilya: Last week. With your mom.

interviewer: whoa whoa! Careful there, Rozanov, Hollander won't let that slide!

shane: let what slide?

interviewer: ...the 'your mom' joke?

ilya: it's not a joke.

interviewer:

ilya: i really did go to the museum with hollander's mother.

interviewer: shane, any comment?

shane, who is so, so over it: no

[seff-fromtheundergrowth]

let it be known i dont usually subscribe to the bad friend hayden pike rhetoric but consider that after hayden finds out about ilya there's such a visible rift between him and shane where they don't talk to each other in the locker room and it's genuinely affecting their performance on the ice and it lasts so long that hayden eventually hears rumours that management is considering trading him (bc they're obviously not going to trade Shane Hollander) and he panics! because if he gets traded he'll have to relocate four kids and they all have lives here and jackie just got a promotion! and he thinks, it wouldn't be me they were trading if they knew.

and that's how hollanov get outed
