Well, hi there

There is no Brand(TM) here. We’ve got BTS, Heated Rivalry, some academia, and anything else.

I go by many names, call me what you will. I have returned to this website in many iterations. Here we are again.

I am still learning what people put in bio posts these days. 30+ || queer || they/them || USA-based || used to be cool??

Pop on over from to my ao3 for fics

If you’re a giver, Here’s the Ko-fi Survival Link

I do think that Shane gets a Russian language tutor. He sees that Ilya is always having to think, speak, and translate in his second language. And he knows that Ilya is fluent by this point, but if he's serious about forever with Ilya (which he is) he wants Ilya to be able to communicate with his boyfriend in his native language. He also saw how much his grandparents struggled with learning English as adults and how much more expressive and talkative they were when they spoke Japanese at home together.

So he gets a tutor. He meticulously researches her (she's from Moscow, so he'll learn from someone with Ilya's same accent). She's signed to more NDAs than he can count. She has 10 years of experience, she's certified to teach English and Russian, and she has 4.8 stars on MyTutor.

Shane pays her a frankly concerning amount of money to make house calls. Twice weekly, unless he's on the road, she arrives at his apartment to teach him foundational Russian. She gives him workbooks, Russia cartoon recommendation, podcasts for beginners, etc. He tells her he's learning because his boyfriend is Russian and she outlines a course that focuses on domestic language first (as opposed to travel or business). She even teaches him what she calls a 'culture course' with lessons on Russian music, food, and various traditions.

She's only a few years older than Shane and he actually finds himself looking forward to her visits. At this point, she's the only person other than his parents that knows he has a boyfriend.

About 4 months in, Shane finally feels comfortable enough to ask about what he'd been very excited about learning.

"You want me to teach you how to talk dirty to your boyfriend?" Ekaterina raised an eyebrow.

"Um," Shane blushed. Was this a little too far? Was this inappropriate to ask of a tutor? "Yes? If - If that's okay, I mean."

A slow smirk spread over her face. "This will be fun. Fun for me, now. Fun for you, later."

"I made a list," Shane admitted. He wasn't going to back out now, he put a lot of thought into his list. He turned to it in his Russian notebook and handed it to her.

She scanned over it indifferently. "You will use all this in one night?"

"Yeah, probably. Is it too much?"

"It is good you have a Russian man," Ekaterina said. "They have good stamina. Mostly, anyway."

And while it was a little embarrassing for Ekaterina to correct his pronunciation of please let me suck your cock, it helped that she seemed just as comfortable with that as there is tea on the stove.

Though, maybe he shouldn't have learned those phrases at the same time, because Ilya will never, for as long as they live, allow him to forget asking, while down on his knees and with excellent pronunciation, please let me suck your tea.

Millionaire!Shane gets interested in onlinesugarbaby!Ilya. He keeps sending him obscene amounts of money and only asks him to report what he does with it. He loves that Ilya spends it on ridiculous things like expensive jewelry and car upgrades (Shane be sending him OBSCENE amounts y'all) because Shane himself is so stringent with his money that he can't waste it himself. He lives recklessly and vicariously through Ilya. When Ilya starts to get curious about why this man wants him to waste his money and to provide such explicit non-sexual detail, their relationship starts to grow from there.

I love all versions of hollanova but there’s something about trashy femme lilya that makes me froth at the mouth

I’m talking y2k club rat outfits at all hours, tiny handbag, low cut top, bubblegum flavoured lipgloss

all this whilst having biceps bigger than every man she knows

[argillaforma]

shane in the beginning of their official relationship being unsure of how to do casual intimacy because he’s used to only get it if it’s during sex or with the intent of turning into sex but now they’re boyfriends and he doesn’t always know how to navigate that so sometimes he will just 🧍🏻‍♂️ in the middle of the room because he wants a smooch but he’s unsure of how to progress and he feels weird asking for it before eventually realizing that ilya is more than happy to indulge

We all know Shane was just pushing that menace's buttons😏

BTS Didn’t Reject the Grammys. They Challenged the System.

This decision really says a great deal about the kind of artists BTS have become. More than anything, it shows that they’re driven by the art itself rather than by the pursuit of recognition. I’ve said this before, and I think it’s important to acknowledge that, when they first set out to become artists, it probably wasn’t solely because they loved making music. Like anyone pursuing a career in entertainment, they most likely wanted financial security, success, recognition, and all the opportunities that come with achieving that level of fame.

The difference is that they’ve now reached a point where they already have those things. They’ve built a career that very few artists in history could ever hope to achieve. They’ve sold millions of albums, broken records across the globe, filled stadiums on multiple continents, and become one of the most recognisable musical acts in the world. At this stage, they’re no longer chasing validation. They’re continuing because they genuinely love creating music, because they still have stories they want to tell, and because they have a deep sense of responsibility and appreciation for the fans who have supported them throughout their journey.

That’s why this decision carries so much weight. The fact that BTS chose to take this stance while they’re arguably at the absolute peak of their influence makes it all the more meaningful. Their participation in an event like the Grammys is valuable. Whether people like it or not, BTS generate enormous public interest. Their attendance brings media coverage, online engagement, viewers, and ratings, something the Recording Academy has benefited from on several occasions, just as many other award shows have benefited from BTS’s presence over the years.

By effectively saying, “You’re not going to separate us simply because you’re afraid of us,” they’ve made a remarkably strong statement. Of course, that’s an interpretation rather than something they explicitly said, but it’s difficult not to see the symbolism behind their decision. The Grammys recently introduced a category specifically recognising Asian artists rather than allowing those artists to compete solely within the existing general categories. If I’m not mistaken, the category isn’t limited to K pop artists but includes Asian artists more broadly.

This isn’t an entirely new conversation either. Similar debates emerged when separate categories for Latin artists were introduced. Those changes were praised by some but criticised by others, who argued that they created a form of segregation rather than genuine inclusion. More recently, after Bad Bunny dominated at last year’s Grammys, there was renewed discussion about the Academy’s apparent reluctance to fully embrace artists who don’t come from the English speaking world or who don’t primarily perform in English. For years, people have questioned whether international artists are truly given equal consideration in the main categories or whether they are subtly encouraged to remain in separate spaces.

BTS have spent the better part of a decade challenging those assumptions. They have consistently broken barriers that many people insisted couldn’t be broken. They’ve demonstrated, over and over again, that artists singing predominantly in Korean can compete directly with the biggest Western acts and, in many cases, outperform them commercially, culturally, and globally. They’ve disproved the long held belief that English is a requirement for worldwide success. That isn’t simply an achievement for BTS. It’s something that fundamentally challenged long established ideas within the music industry, and I don’t think everyone has been entirely comfortable with that reality.

I also think another factor is that the Western music industry has never truly been able to control BTS or the company behind them. Despite HYBE expanding internationally and acquiring American labels over the years, BTS themselves have remained remarkably independent compared with many global artists. They’ve never fully fit into the traditional Western industry system, nor have they relied on it in the way many international acts historically have. That independence has always made them something of an outlier, and I don’t think the industry particularly enjoys dealing with artists it can’t easily influence or shape.

Another thing the industry has never really been able to control is BTS’s fanbase. Just as importantly, it has never been able to recreate anything quite like ARMY. Of course, every fandom has its flaws, and I’ve criticised aspects of ARMY many times on this blog. No fandom is perfect. However, if you look at it purely from the perspective of the music industry, what BTS have built is extraordinary. It’s one of the most organised, passionate, dedicated, and influential fan communities ever seen. That’s the sort of relationship every entertainment company wishes it could create, yet very few have managed to replicate. That connection between BTS and ARMY has been one of the defining reasons they’ve reached the position they occupy today.

Because of everything they’ve achieved, BTS are now in the rare position of being able to make decisions like this without fearing the consequences in the same way other artists might. They don’t need to prove their legitimacy anymore. They don’t need a Grammy to validate their career.

That’s particularly striking when you consider the album they’re walking away with. Arirang is, in my opinion, objectively one of the strongest albums they’ve ever released. It’s the sort of record that could very realistically have received multiple Grammy nominations and perhaps even won several categories. And I’m not referring only to the music itself. The album’s artistic direction, its visual identity, the cinematography of the music videos, the production quality, the storytelling, and the overall creative vision all make it feel like a complete artistic project rather than simply a collection of songs.

What’s even more remarkable is that Arirang hasn’t only been embraced by BTS fans. It’s also been widely praised by critics, casual listeners, and the general public. It has been recognised far beyond the boundaries of the fandom. That’s why this decision feels so significant. I don’t quite know which word best captures it. “Risky” doesn’t seem entirely accurate because BTS are in such a secure position. At the same time, “brave” almost feels too simplistic. It sits somewhere between confidence, conviction, and principle. Whatever word eventually fits, it’s a decision that carries genuine weight.

To me, it once again demonstrates the scale of BTS’s influence and the confidence they have in both their artistry and the audience they’ve built over the years. More importantly, it reflects a great deal of self respect. It also reflects respect for their fans, because they’re making it clear that the values they believe in matter more than simply adding another trophy to an already historic career.

By essentially saying, “Don’t divide us. Music is music, and it shouldn’t be separated by language or geography,” they’ve also reopened a much broader conversation. I hope this decision encourages people to once again question whether the Grammys have long standing xenophobic tendencies in the way they approach international artists. More broadly, I hope it prompts discussion about whether the Western music industry as a whole still operates with similar biases, even if those biases aren’t always explicit.

It’s going to be fascinating to watch what happens next. I’m especially curious to see how other K pop groups respond because, whether people like to admit it or not, BTS have spent years setting the tone for much of the industry. If other groups continue submitting their work to the Grammys, and many of them almost certainly will, with some likely receiving nominations and perhaps even winning awards, it will be interesting to see how those decisions are viewed alongside the very clear position BTS have now taken.

After all, we’re talking about the biggest and most successful Korean group the music industry has ever seen. When a group of that stature makes a statement like this, people pay attention.

And do you know what makes this decision even more remarkable?

In all likelihood, and I’m saying this as objectively as I possibly can, the introduction of this new Grammy category probably represented BTS’s clearest opportunity yet to finally win a Grammy.

I don’t say that because I’m trying to diminish other artists or because I think BTS are entitled to the award. I say it because, considering the impact of Arirang, its critical reception, its commercial success, and the influence BTS continue to have worldwide, they would almost certainly have entered that category as one of the strongest contenders.

I’m also fairly certain they understood that. Their management almost certainly understood it too.

And despite recognising that this may well have been their most realistic path towards finally receiving a Grammy, they still chose to step away.

To me, that’s what makes this decision resonate even more deeply. They willingly turned away from what was probably their best chance of achieving the one accolade people have spent years insisting they still “needed” in order to complete their legacy. In doing so, they sent a message that was far more valuable than the trophy itself.

Ultimately, I think that’s what this decision will be remembered for. It wasn’t simply about refusing to submit an album. It was about making a statement that their principles matter more than external validation, that music shouldn’t be separated according to language or geography, and that the value of an artist’s work shouldn’t depend on whether it fits comfortably within the industry’s traditional framework. Whether people agree with that stance or not, it’s difficult to deny that it’s one of the boldest decisions any globally successful artist has made in recent years.

Wow I've been back on tumblr 5 minutes and already getting name dropped

[scunthotter]

I know I've talked about Ilya being frustrated he can't brag about pulling Shane but you know who else would be frustrated about not being able to brag? Yuna Hollander would be so frustrated that she basically has the two best hockey players in the world in her family and she can't even bring up that now she has TWO sons in the mlh and oh what is your son up to Sharon? Hmm that sounds rough that you have to send him money every month. She's in meetings, maybe there are other players agents and managers and they try to bond by putting down Rozanov and she wants to go "your client couldn't even touch Ilya's points per game. Don't fucking talk about one of my boys." and she's so pissed off by the interaction she gets that player removed from the brand deal.

[toasted-rivalry]

Ilya and Shane, but it’s just them seeing each other as a version of their husband no one else understands them seeing.

To Ilya, Shane is the funniest, sexiest, bitchiest and downright FREAKIEST person he knows. He tells everyone he knows this, yet for some reason no one seems to believe him. His husband is such an asshole, and Ilya loves him for it.

While to Shane, Ilya is his soft and most precious baby. A heart of gold and with feelings so wide and deep he is breathless at just how much he CARES. Sunshine itself. Shane laughs at how people describe his ‘scary, no-smiling Slavic nightmare of a husband.’ See Ilya! He DOES get sarcasm (he does not.)

[alphabettysue]

Ilya kissing Shane anywhere on his skin like Shane is his cuddly toy that can also play hockey. Kissing his shoulder anytime he leans over his shoulder to see hockey stats on his laptop. Kissing his palm and then the back of his hand and then his palm again while Shane drives, like in thanks because it's Ilya's playlist blasting through the speakers and Shane didn't fuss. Kissing his forehead where Shane is scrunching his eyebrows reading, reminding him to relax. Kissing his feet (even the soles as Shane yelps and giggles, ticklish, trying to be upset but failing) as he massages them at the end of a long day. Kissing his scalp again and again in bed because Shane bonked it slightly during practice and Ilya's heart nearly stopped. His Shane. His baby Shane. Kissing his naked chest and nipples in the afterglow, sprawled over him and holding possessively like someone could snatch him away. Sometimes he's almost obsessive with it, kissing his navel and the low soft of his stomach instead of blowing him, which he was about to do. Shane whines and nudges him with a knee, all Ilya please, come on don't make me beg. But Ilya only smiles, nips with vampire like teeth, kisses again, says, I will take my time. We have time now.

I know we joke about it all the time but hotel room walls are...GENUINELY very thin. The bit in the HR novel where Shane and Ilya fuck in the shower so that the water drowns out the sounds actually rang as extremely accurate to me. Like, the lack of boundaries that must exist not just for the Centaurs but for ANYBODY who spends a significant amount of time sharing hotel room walls with their teammates is just unbelievable.

Like, on any given roadie the people sharing walls with the Hollanovs can expect to overhear:

- One side of phone calls between Shane and his mother where every third word is FUCK and Shane's voice gets higher the more he works himself up about whatever league drama is pissing him off that week

- Ilya yelling in Russian (Non sex reasons) (He and Svetlana are talking about Matheson in Colorado. Again.)

- Ilya gets hay fever real bad in Seattle and spends an entire night sneezing at EAR SPLITTING volume, each sneeze followed by a, "AHH!" from Shane as he is startled awake. Again.

- The Christmas wish lists of every Pike child and how they're going to be divvy'd up for the year. This conversation takes place in September.

- "I'm telling you, the penalty kill could be a work of fucking art if Haas--oh fuck, right there, don't stop--"

- As stated before, an objectively obnoxious amount of showering is happening. At one point LaPointe turns to Bood and says something to the effect of, "Crazy that Hollander takes TWO showers after every game, I guess he really is superstitious," and Bood just. Chooses not to engage.

- A thunderous and almighty BANG. This is the sound of Ilya's suitcase hitting the floor after it inevitably slides off the bed.

- "Shaaaaane, look at the livestream from the dog hotel--look at how cute! She is so sleepy, she's holding her banana like a baaaaby--"

- Vin Diesel's voice, unimaginably loud, at one AM

- Russian Yelling (Non sex reasons) (Sasha did something stupid)

- "Unh unh unh UNH UNH UNH--" (Squeak. Squeak.)

- Celtics game. Twenty minutes beforehand: "Fuck, Shane, how do I get ESPN on the stupid--Roku stick thing--"

- "Okay, look, your dad played the word veer--is not real word, right? Like, deer with a V? It's real? Shane, we can't let your dad win--no, it's not cheating, he gets Yuna's help--"

- Stuff about Rose Landry's upcoming film that they should probably all sign NDAs for even thinking about.

- Russian Yelling (Sex reasons. Probably. It sounds...ardent.)

- One time, for an entire night, silence. The day immediately preceeding this night and the morning immediately after are best left unspoken about.

- The sound of Shane's fuckass electric toothbrush for WAY too long. Seriously man it cannot be healthy to brush your teeth for that lo--oh. Got it. Okay. Where are my earbuds.

- "I mean, it's not like I'm sixteen anymore, right? It's just that sometimes I think she looks at me and sees a fucking kid still, and I get it, I get it--and fuck, babe, I know it's not fair to feel this way, she's the only mom I'll ever have, and you don't even--ugh--"

- "I'm so terribly sorry the hotel misplaced your bags, Mister Rozanov. If there's any way that we can...make it up to you..." [Giggle. Kissing sound. Kissing sound. Moan.]

- Banging on the wall and, "KEEP IT DOWN, ROOK," the one. Singular. Time. That Holmberg manages to pull on their West Coast roadie. Which may or may not be the beginning of his villain origin story.

my hc for hollanov sharing clothes is that they’re the same height but the proportions are flipped. ilya’s hoodies are too big on shane cuz his shoulders are broader and his chest is bigger, and maybe his arms are a bit longer. ilya is experiencing peak cuteness aggression at shane all cozy and cuddled up. BUT. ilya in shane’s sweatpants? they’re barely staying up on him because shane has bigger thighs and wider hips! ilya is wearing them around the house and shane is fucking salivating at the way they are hanging so so low. flipped proportions makes clothes sharing sexier i dont make the rules.
