also it rocks that for his first post-hr role they went hey hudson you're going to be evil in blue contacts and he was like say no more

I'm so fucking grateful I get to be a lesbian

i am perhaps the only person brave enough to say shane genuinely might not want kids. but that's okay i can be so brave about it

“I stand with my cancelled wife” and it’s Shane Hollander talking about ilya being cancelled on twitter every 2-3 business days

I just thought about the effect big hud’s bigness is gonna have on his stretch marks and I had to pinch the bridge of my nose

situationship era shane awake at 2am using a vpn and incognito mode to google 'can you want to sniff another man's jockstrap without being gay'

meanwhile ilya at some club in boston at the very same moment:

like shane is going to be tracking his macros to the detriment of all else and snapping at ilya for junk food and having this whole disordered eating arc, his life spiralling but he's white knuckling it clinging to some semblance of control, all while looking like a humoungous slab of beef and that is just so genuinely awesome. what an interesting angle to take on this show that's going to have a squillion people watching it

[jesterlesbian]

imagine not wanting hudson to be awesomely bighuge as shane. could NOT be me

actually have nothing funny or snarky to say about episode 5. this is just actually the most moving and heartwrenching television i've ever witnessed and it changed my life. it changed so many people's lives. sometimes i'm like the hr hype is lowkey a little too insane and then i watch this episode and i feel like the world writ large actually underreacted to how legendary this episode was. i too would actually soul bond with francois, hudson, and connor if i witnessed this live in the dead of winter.

like i'm sorry rr/tierney ate with this....... like the idea that someone else coming out being the impetous for you yourself taking a big leap of faith too is so like. what being gay and in a community is about. like you just literally don't know you aren't the only one if someone doesn't come out and do something so ridiculously brave. sorry i'm being so earnest about this because i'm writing this mid tears. like that thing jacob said about how scott's coming out needs to be outlandish and loud to contrast the like quiet and tender coming together of shane and ilya. the problem with this show is that it's literally that good.

We really do just get to have and enjoy Shane and Ilya. Every day I wake up and refuse to take this for granted. Shane and Ilya.

important hockey lore from the era shane and ilya were starting out in the league (it's mildly less common now) is that lots of players knew how to juggle, and would juggle pucks or balls before every game to hone their hand/eye coordination and stay sharp

which is all to say that shane hollander can almost definitely juggle
