"It's a long story."

Shane and Ilya through the years

[millinerswings]

"I like you" isn't just a stepping stone to "I love you" - it is a distinct narrative beat in its own right.

As the audience, we already know that Ilya loves Shane because we heard him say it in Russian. But we also know that love is not enough - Shane loves Rose but they weren't compatible. Sometimes love isn't enough, for a variety of reasons.

This is why Shane and Ilya are terrified of coming to the cottage. Because we still don't know if they're compatible beyond the incredibly hot sex and psychic level hockey passes. The tuna melt date was nice before Shane crashed out, but that was just one afternoon.

"I like you" is the missing piece in their relationship. I know that I love you and I desire you and we play good hockey together, but do I like you?

The cottage scenes answer: yes. I like playing with you and I like cooking with you and I like talking to you and I like sharing space with you and I like sleeping next to you and I like waking up with you. I like you.

I like you and I love you and I still have no idea how we can possibly make this work but I really want to figure it out.

Shane Hollander really is the guy of all time. he's gay. he's autistic. he's wasian. he's the best hockey player in the world. he married his 8 year situationship. he's a millionaire but only because his mom said so. he has beautiful freckles. he had sex with a man for 8 years but the possibility that he might be gay only crossed his mind when he called him by his first name for the first time. to convince himself he was straight he started dating a movie star. he came out as a bottom. he does yoga. his situationship offhandedly suggested getting married for citizenship and he immediately stayed up until 4 am scheming so that wouldn't happen. he's an olympic medalist. he has a dog. his wedding song was diamonds by rihanna. he likes ginger ale.

it's nice to see all my old tumblr mutuals are back on here blogging about heated rivalry again too. it feels like a a cute little reunion of all my old besties. glad you're all alive still!

literally all I could think about while shane and yuna were having their Moment

[icecreamsandwichofficial]

Rose Landry highest self esteem of all time. she has mediocre sex a couple times with a guy who seems not all that into it and goes "hm. Well, I'M definitely not the problem. the only possible answer is that he is Gay."

impeccable reasoning, no notes.

[weegreenbean]

if you're yuna though. your son is gay and has been hiding a 10 year situationship from you, and he's in love with his rival, and then he is having a panic attack and the guy you knew as the big russian anger machine pulls him off the ledge in two seconds and THAT is when they confirm they are boyfriends. all in front of your pasta.

who would've thought that the queer hockey show would bring me back to tumblr. this time much less depressed, but still clinging onto queer media for dear life

[alltoowille]

Yuna and David having watched their autistic son be so isolated all of his adult life and never having a happy relationship or close friends who understand his anxiety and then finding out that the man they’ve spent a decade hating on his behalf can casually talk him down from a panic attack in less than a minute

[audible301]

I KNOW Yuna shot up in bed that night like “DAVID THE ELEVATOR. HE WAS IN THE FUCKING ELEVATOR.”

Shane & Ilya Heated Rivalry S01E06

[vityamins]

The face of a man who thinks he's about to hear his boyfriend explain the word fuckbuddy to his mom

[mumble-muse]

the problem with the gay hockey show is that the acting is great, the lighting is great, the music and costuming are great, the care taken is incredible, but you can't recommend it to normal people without sounding like a pervert

[rozanovs]

You don't see that every day. Pretty big night for hockey.
