At a time when Netflix is getting roundly criticized for forcing its shows to treat the audience like we have all of two brain cells to rub together, The Vampire Lestat is out here volleying everything from 70s gay references to 1700s Dutch Republic references at the speed of light while saying, "You don't get it? Well, that's a fucking you problem."

And I love that for us.

what made heated rivalry successful is that fujoshis are a largely untapped market

I keep thinking about Yuna and David and how they thought, maybe Shane might be gay because they know him pretty well, and just all the innocent, ill-conceived, and hilarious ways they tried to hint at it before the Rozanov-Cottage-Ass-Grab Incident.

---

David: Work had us do some inclusivity training today. It was pretty interesting.

Shane: That's cool, dad *doesn't know what that means, but never knows what anything related to his dad's work means*

---

Yuna: That Anderson Cooper. He's such a cutie.

Shane: who?

---

Yuna: You know, I hear the actor who plays Sheldon is gay.

Shane: Who? *but in an alarmed way because she said the word that should never be said*

Yuna: Big Bang Theory?

Shane: What?

---

David: You know who has good music? That Lady Gaga.

Shane: Sure *can't name a number Lady Gaga song (though would recognize some if played to him)*

---

Yuna, internally: Ok, i got this one.

Yuna: Did you hear Marie-Philip Poulin is dating Laura-

Shane: OMG, did you know... *proceeds to info dump all of Poulin's stats and awards and all the awesome goals he's ever seen her make*

Ilya Rozanov’s bachelor party is insane, but not in the way anyone expected.

It’s an overnight trip to the cottage. Svetlana, Cliff, Jackie (but not Hayden) Pike, most of the centaurs, and for some reason David Hollander are all there. Everyone’s expecting some Death of a Bachelor style extravaganza, a dramatic send-off of Boston’s Finest Eater, a glittery funeral for the man who once did a line of coke off a model in a moving car.

But then they all get there and Ilya just wants to…hang out? Kinda? There are video games and jet skis and funny stories told around a campfire. There’s an impromptu game of charades that ends with Jackie Pike throwing a shoe at Cliff Marleau and splitting his lip open.

But it’s still Ilya Rozanov. His 2014 club-rat soul is as strong as ever. He’s going to make it a good time.

By 10:00 PM they’ve been playing never have I ever for over an hour trying to find something he hasn’t done. It’s David Hollander flabbergasted and impressed. It’s Wyatt Hayes shouting “what do you mean you’ve been kidnapped before?” And Zane Boodram yelling “I didn’t even know that was a position!”

It’s Cliff wearing a comically large pair of sunglasses to disguise the fact he’s sobbing while drunkenly telling everyone story after story about Ilya’s Boston days. He’s slurring “and no homo, man, but I’m not even mad those girls made us kiss during that threesome! It was an honor!” Before collapsing. Luca Haas passed out after the first round of Twister.

David Hollander is white girl wasted congratulating his future son in law, he’s shit talking Montreal for hurting his sweet boy so loud that they have to cover their ears. Him and Ilya are bonding over their shared experience with a stubborn spouse that they can’t say no to. Eventually Ilya switches completely to Russian without realizing and gets pissed when no one laughs at his clearly hilarious jokes.

Halfway through the night Sveta has to call Shane (who is at home completely sober) so Ilya will stop attempting to ride a peloton bike to their house. Ilya starts weeping the second he hears Shane’s voice. It’s “baby stop crying I’ll see you tomorrow okay?” and “holy shit did you get my dad wasted?” But David isn’t around to hear because he’s actually on a similar sounding FaceTime with Yuna. Ilya falls asleep on the floor cradling a framed photo of Shane as a little kid.

It’s one of the best nights of his entire life. Practice is cancelled for three days.

(Shane’s bachelor party is bowling. Funnily enough, he also ends up asleep on the floor.)
