congrats shane hollander, you're gonna marry someone who will make you laugh and smile in the most desperate moments of your life 🥰💕

✘ ♕ ✘ A warm knowing smile stretched over Ilya's features as he heard David talk about his job. That was another difference between the fathers: the man before him had a good sense of humor, even at his own expense. In a lot of ways, David reminded Ilya of his mother. She was always able to crack the right joke in any situation to ease tension or lighten moods. Ironic, he thought to himself, remembering her as the person with the biggest smile...

Fishing out the corner pieces, Ilya placed them on the table before he started to search for matches. His eyebrows shot up at the mention of the cup and he barked a short laugh. "Not anytime soon. Not this season, anyway, but... Eventually, yes. I make it my goal. Sorry to your son and your wife, but we are coming for Montreal's dynasty." He grinned proudly, looking up from the puzzle pieces.

David chuckled as he searched for matching pieces as well, "your secret is safe with me, but between you and me, and I will deny saying it if you talk. I may or may not have seen my wife buying a Ottawa Centaurs mug at the store the other day." He held his hands up, "you didn't hear that from me. But I think Yuna is getting a bit soft on the Montreal front." Looking around for pieces, he flipped one over they had missed.

"How's the working coming along at your house?" David asked, looking for another piece, "did those contractors follow through with actually showing up on time?"

I'm super emo about David Hollander today.

[lexicanons]

Post TLG Shane and Ilya have to stay with Yuna and David for a few days because the repairs to the cottage weren’t finished by the time the season ended. The first night, Shane tries to initiate sex but Ilya shuts him down. Shane is worried that something is wrong but Ilya is like “You’re too loud, they’ll hear” and Shane spends the next 10 minutes trying to convince Ilya he’ll be quiet (“I’ll be quiet. I’ll suck on your fingers to keep quiet, Ilya.”). Meanwhile, down the hall, Yuna and David are having the exact same argument (“No, David. You’ve been so loud since Shane moved out. The boys will hear.” “…I can’t make noise if you sit on my face.”)

ask my muse about the people in their lives

their parents, siblings, significant other, husband/wife, children and friends etc. ask them about whatever you have in mind.

example: if they have a good relationship with their parents

               if they are okay with their kid dating [insert name]

david bringing up their chemistry the all star game post-coming out implies that he saw ilya kissing shane's helmet and went 🤨

“Yuna Hollander POV” this, “Imagine you’re Yuna Hollander” that… Valid, valid. But let’s shine a glorious light on DAVID Hollander for a minute.

Imagine you’ve spent most of your son’s teen and adult life supporting the hell out of him and your wife as they jointly steer his career into the astral plane of international hockey stardom. You’re so proud of him, but you also worry that the focus of his life may be too narrow. You gently encourage him to smell the roses - go down Youtube rabbit holes (whatever those are), take a holiday to London, maybe even date? After years of only surface-level relationships, he develops a true friend in Hayden Pike, and you breathe a sigh of relief. He shows an interest in real estate and design, and you’re delighted to encourage him.

You’re thrilled when he gets a girlfriend after so many years alone. When they seem to break up but remain on good terms, this fuels your growing suspicion that he might be gay. Then Scott Hunter kisses his boyfriend on the ice. Shane immediately takes a call and comes back with a giddy smile on his face. That’s really all the confirmation you need.

You gently break this to Yuna (I love how the show changes that “we know you pretty well, Shane” line from her to him, because it matches characterisation they’ve added to David as an insightful father and husband). Yuna immediately wants to talk to Shane about it & make contingency plans for how it might affect his life & career if true, because she loves her kid & wants to cover all bases ASAP, but you talk her down. “Let him come to us,” you say.

Shane tells you he’s doing a silent retreat for his time off this year, but you need to charge your phone, and it’ll be good to check in on him (you always worry about him being too isolated, too lonely). So you head over only to be… well, astonished to see him kissing his arch-rival with an easy familiarity. Shit, shit, you should NOT be here. You panic & leave - let him come to you (Shane’s flight response is also inherited).

Just as you and Yuna are discussing whether you should go back to the cottage, he does come over. With Rozanov. You’re a bit shellshocked, and the whole thing is awkward as hell at first, but also… Rozanov looks at your son like he hung the moon, talks him down from a panic attack, and it turns out they’ve been doing this for almost ten years. The same ten years that you spent encouraging Shane to pursue happiness and live a full life. Of course it breaks your heart that he felt like he had to do it in secret, but he still did it.

That’s your boy.

Underrated ep 5 moment:

Yuna can't stop looking at the tv, wondering what this moment might mean for the hockey world

David looks at Shane... wondering what this moment might mean for his son?

Send my muse random anons

Ask about them, their relationships, their desires, whatever you want to know about them..

david hollander is the true winner of the idgaf war. he doesn’t know what youtube is. he doesn’t care about shane’s sponsorships. he understands why shane doesn’t wanna go to wimbledon and is just happy to go with his wife. he sees his son making out with his supposed arch enemy and turns 180 degrees, gets in his car, and doesn’t tell a soul. he pulls out the vodka when his newly out gay son is having a freak out at the dinner table. if shane had even 1% of his idgaf powers he would be unstoppable. unfortunately that boy inherited his mom’s gaf-ability, which is constantly set to 150%.

Baby Shane with his parents 🐞❤️

[hollanderpatriarch]

David is one of those chill bosses that like all of his employees are absolutely ride or die with him. To the point when a new Intern came in talking trash about Shane they all warned the intern that, "you should probably watch what you say." Which of course makes the intern double down, they finally gave up and just turned to David who hadn't said a word, while he was drinking his coffee he just pushed his name plate to the front of his desk and said, "want to say that about Shane HOLLANDER again?"

The intern requested a transfer that following Monday.

Baby Shane playing imaginary hockey and then pausing to give imaginary press interviews where he just says things like "gotta put pucks in the net" in his tiny little 7 year old voice.
