More Than the Dark Hates the Dawn

Hi I’m Jess. She/her. I love Black Sails, Nancy Drew computer games, the Backstreet Boys, MASH, and reading romance novels Forever obsession: Silverflint & Black Sails; Current obsession: Vikings:Valhalla

Today is June 10, 2020. I read JK Rowling’s tweet & message. If you are still supporting her, unfollow me and fuck right off.

even two years after my divorce I still occasionally look back and notice a red flag in a new way. today I'm thinking about how the first time we had a major fight it was because I said I wished I could live on the moon. and they got upset because I "didn't consider how they would feel". about, and I cannot stress this enough, me moving to the moon.

QUICK everyone say something vague and ominous about your WIP that will only make sense later

i don't know what's better, 18 year old ilya shamelessly flirting and calling his crush 'pretty' or 18 year old shane, who always hated being called pretty, pissed off that he likes how the word sounds from his rivals mouth

It’s so hard loving a complex fictional woman because assholes will try to turn you against her by listing off all her flaws and it’s like yeah no shit, that’s the whole point. What aren’t you getting about this?

Another addition to the Shane Hollander list of "do it scared, but DO IT" badassery is him standing in front of his parents less than 48 hours after Ilya and him have exchanged declarations of love and being like:

Yuna: "But you hate him"

Shane: "No, I get that, but no. I love him."

LIKEEE the way he just SAYS it. There are other things he could have said. "We're together" or "We're involved" but he goes for absolute clarity. I love him. (It's not up for discussion) Can we just sit down, please?

the way rr/tierney introduce ilya is so funny to me because when you first see him you're just like jeez this guy is such an asshole why is he like this. and then seconds later it's just like um it's because he has a 1) dead mom 2) who killed herself 3) an abusive dad 4) with alzheimers 5) a brother 6) who verbally abuses him on the phone 7) when ilya refuses to wire him 50 bands all at once 8) all while he spends new years eve all alone in the grossest motel you've ever seen 9) and he's bisexual.

and you're just like. well shit. that will do it i guess.

My absolute gospel truth and I'm sorry this is so sappy but--where I'm living, Ilya fully changes his name to Hollander when they get married, like just fully legally changes it. And despite the fact that he continues to use Rozanov professionally ("Just like J. Lo," Ilya says.) everyone who knows them personally obviously knows what Ilya's legal name is and also assume it's a way to kind of stick it to his shitheel father. To this end, and kind of as a joke at first, people start referring to their two-person unit as The Hollanders ("Okay, the Hollanders are in room 508" etc.) but it becomes steadily less and less a joke when neither Shane or Ilya really seems to think of it as one. Ilya especially seems to genuinely love it. He'll say shit like "Oh yes the Hollanders will be there" when asked if they're coming to a barbecue like they live in a postcard. He LOVES to give his name as Ilya Hollander and he LOVES to book reservations under 'Misters Hollander' and he LOVES to say the words 'Shane and Ilya Hollander' out loud with his mouth. I also think that for their last game together in the league Ilya and Shane wear jerseys that say S. Hollander 24 and I. Hollander 81 and it's like. An end of an era type thing. And they frame the jerseys.
