Shane resting his head on Ilya's crotch for a nap because it's his favourite most comforting place in the world send post

i actually think that what's being missed in the 'why does everyone love heated rivalry' conversation is just that it's good

it's well made, well shot, well directed, the music is interesting, the costumes are both thoughtful and subtly period accurate, the sex scenes are intentional and, again, accurate to what hooking up when you're like 18 actually feels like...the actors are of course attractive but they look like real people. the characters are varied and well fleshed out, the acting is really, really strong

so many shows and films shoot and then slot in whatever music kind of fits or could be licenced in the budget after time, but you can tell that the scenes in hr were shot with that specific music in mind. and the same intentional approach runs through the whole thing

it feels...so nice to watch a show that cares about itself

Hollander quietly sipped his vodka while Ilya waited for the moment to crumble apart.

For science, I tallied the number of on-page blowjobs given by Shane and Ilya in Heated Rivalry and The Long Game.

🥇Ilya Rozanov sucked Shane's dick 10 times (with one bonus ball-sucking, and two ass-eatings)

🥈Shane Hollander sucked Ilya's dick 9 times (but came while giving head to Ilya one time, which feels like it should count for two, plus one ass-eating)

May they even the score in Unrivaled.

i think i've posted this before, but ilya truly does deserve an award for his patience after getting woken up at fuck o'clock at the cottage for a five year plan strategy session when he was in the middle of a rem cycle.

like the way he asked "what is nur-ate-iv?" makes me think man TRULY was not catching all of the words getting tossed at him so fast the second his eyes were even a LITTLE open. like he wasn't asking "what story did you come up with?" he's asking "what word are you even saying to me right now?" man got like 0.2 seconds to be like "oh i'm awake now?" before he was getting PELTED with english because shane had a forty step plan that couldn't wait like. three more hours.

i would have hit him with a pillow and said let's circle back, so kudos to ilya.

[penandinkprincess]

this does make me think that if they have kids, ilya is going to be the default parent getting woken up for "i frew up"

in my heart, shane sleeps like a ROCK and is also non-functional if his sleep schedule is disrupted

so papa is the one getting little hands patting at his face at 3 am because his sleep isn't safe from daddy OR the kids

[penandinkprincess]

this also does mean that shane rarely wakes up in a bed with the same number of people it had when he fell asleep

either ilya is completely mia because he went to lay down with whatever kiddo came to get him and then fell asleep in their bed without meaning to, or shane wakes up to little feet pushing into his kidney or a little fist tucked under his arm or a kiddo sprawled sideways over him AND ilya in a way that canNOT be comfortable

shane always handles getting everyone put together and fed breakfast, but the first step of every morning routine is just a headcount to find out where everyone ended up overnight

[fineline-live]

shane falling asleep while cockwarming mmmmm just a thought

Like they're both laying in bed and of course they're all snuggled up and maybe shane starts lazily playing with ilya’s waistband. Nothing crazy, just lightly dragging his fingers along the band, nails softly scratching enough for ilya's tummy to tense every time his nails pass over a particular spot. Shane starts to notice ilya's cock thickening up, maybe it begins to throb and bounce every time shane's nails press a little harder. Shane looks up at ilya without saying anything, ilya already staring back down at him with a soft smile. Shane smiles back, turning his attention back to ilya's cock and begins to shuffle his way down the length of ilya's body. He palms ilya for a while, pressing small kisses into ilya's exposed hip that his cheek rested against. Eventually he tugs ilya's boxers down, sitting up enough to drag them down his legs and toss them towards the hamper in the room. He grips ilya's cock softly, hot little breaths fan over it as he stares in awe for a minute. He's always so entranced by the shape and weight, how beautiful it looks and how well Ilya knows how to use it. Shane smiles and presses little kisses to the tip, kitten licking the slit and closing his eyes as he finally tastes him. He wraps his lips gently around the head, suckling little by little until he pops off and turns to glance back up at ilya. Ilya has one hand propped behind his head, the other hand resting on his stomach. "Can i just keep it in m'mouth?" shane asks quietly. Ilya runs a hand through his soft black strands and smiles "take what you need, malysh." And so shane lays his head back down onto ilya's hip, his mouth lazily wrapping back around the heavy weight. He sucks softly, his lips wrapped around his teeth as he keeps his head in one spot. His tongue drags on the underside, licking in slow strokes, the hand that once held ilya's cock now draped across his hips and tugging him into his body. "So good, sweetheart. You feel good, yeah?" And shane lets out a sweet small hum, nuzzling his face further into ilya's hip. He begins to suck on the tip, his eyes fluttering closed as he focused on how relaxed and sweet he felt. He suckled and held on to ilya's thighs, relishing in the act. Eventually ilya starts to notice small puffs of air evening out on his pubic bone, shane's grip on his hip beginning to release just the slightest bit. He notices the way shane's jaw starts to slack, his lips still suckling like there's a pacifier in his mouth lulling him to sleep along with the hand petting his hair. He realizes shane has fallen asleep cockwarming him. Ilya smiles and feels his cock twitch at the sight, trying his best to keep himself contained as to not awake his sleeping beauty.

I know a lot of you are fans of the Ilya has trouble getting hard/achieving orgasm on his meds headcanon. And I agree, there are sooo many delicious fics and headcanons based on this (but if I‘m honest I don’t trust Miss R with the intricacies of this dynamic and would rather it didn’t appear in book 3…but I digress)

But have you considered: Ilya can’t drink on his meds.

Imagine them at the club after their first cup win with the Centaurs. Shane is absolutely wasted, having the time of his life, and Ilya is also having the time of his life stone cold sober, cause he gets to see his husband let loose and then afterwards he gets to drive him home and bridal carry him to bed and feed him a glass of water and make him a greasy breakfast the next morning because Shane is hungover. Like, that is his baby!

Imagine the Centaurs at the barbecue passing around a blunt and Shane looks kinda interested actually. He has been depriving himself his whole life, he kinda wants to try. So obviously Ilya can read this on his face and is like: Shanya you can try. I will take care of you, don‘t worry I‘m here. So then Ilya gets to witness Shane getting high for the first time and Shane is absolutely trying to crawl into Ilya‘s skin in front of god and everybody and every single one of the Centaurs. Shane and Harris both get the munchies so now they are standing in Bood‘s kitchen a little after midnight arguing over how to make apple pie. Harris is like: I‘m the king of apples! I know this! And Shane is like: Well. I have never baked anything in my entire life but I‘m still pretty sure I am correct. And then they are both giggling and shoving each other and they end up covered in flour. And Ilya is standing in the kitchen doorway arms crossed stone cold sober, has never been more lucid and present, and thinks: this is the best moment of my life. Like, he keeps complaining to Shane that he misses Vodka, but he doesn‘t. He would not trade this for anything and he knows Shane only lets loose 100% because he trusts Ilya to protect and take care of him.

And then the next morning Ilya wakes Shane with little kisses on his face like: Good Morning Shanya *kiss* can you tell me *kiss* why is there so much flour *kiss* in my car? Hm? *kiss* It‘s all over the seats? *kiss* any idea how that happened? *kiss*

And Shane is like: *grumble grumble* Shut uuuuup *hits him with a pillow*

I feel like everyone talks about how great of a father Ilya is gonna be because he's so good with kids so often, that we ignore Shane has THE most dad energy I've ever seen. He's standing beside his kids while they watch TV, claiming he's not watching because he has stuff to do. He's up at 7am on a saturday mowing the lawn or fixing stuff in the bathroom you didn't even KNOW needed fixing. His kids come home from practice and he's watching the most niche ass hockey stats breakdown video on youtube and he is SAT and focused for all 40 minutes. Oh you mentioned you like something? He's picking several up from the store DONT comment on it. All of his texts have periods, are straight to the point, and include either "OK" or "👍"

And he's the best dad a kid could ask for.

[tinylilhollander]

I hate to say it, but after they're out and married and don't have to hide anymore, Shane and Ilya both become the biggest "Can I my husband join us?" guys. Rose invites Shane to brunch and it's immediately "Can Ilya come too?". Svetlana has managed by some miracle to find a night where she and Ilya are both free to go clubbing and Ilya is like "Is it cool if Shane comes with us?". Hayden doesn't even wait for the question anymore. "Do you and your lawfully wedded asshole want to come over and play the new MLH video game?" They just come as a set now and everyone has to accept that.

i know you said we ride at dawn but i’m not a morning person actually. can we ride after lunch

i've said before that i think in 2024 one of the younger cens players (picking a name at random and saying holmberg) makes shane and ilya listen to chappell roan and they take unfathomable psychic damage from good luck babe and casual while flashing back to their situationship era, but to get even more specific about it:

i think holmberg starts them off with good luck babe since it's her big breakthrough hit and ilya is like "hm. so this is a song about being in a relationship with someone who's in denial about being gay? and they won't admit to the relationship because of it? interesting" while staring directly at shane who is making very determined eye contact with the floor.

and holmberg (clueless) is like "yeah she writes a lot of situationship anthems actually!" and puts on casual.

which allows shane to pull an instant uno reverse card and stare daggers into the side of ilya's head while going "wow, imagine what it would be like to spend years sleeping with someone who sends really confusing mixed signals by saying that what you have is casual but then treating you like it's not casual at all. that would suck."

anyway chappell roan gets banned from the cens locker room playlist out of fear of causing their captain and alternate to divorce. they make an exception for pink pony club though because they are the pink (red) pony (centaur) club

You could make a vent post about having no friends and it’ll blow up and people will start reblogging it just to say things in the tags like “#this would be me except I’m beloved in the community and every year all my awesome friends who would die for me come together and throw me a big surprise party because they adore me so deeply”
