ilya rozanov appreciation week: day five favorite relationship: his friendship with svetlana ā„
Heated Rivalry (2025-) dir. Jacob Tierney
My Shane knows his queer history but is scared to engage with people about it
My Shane is a smelly jock but values cleanliness
My Shane loves Ilyaās assholishness but nags on him for The Bit (and the sex)
My Shane used to have a good boy persona because of racism and the fact that he was carrying points on his team but will now start fights because heās tired of putting up with shit
My Shane uses head & shoulders shampoo but has a 13 step skin care routine
My Shane admires other gay menās femininity but had such bad gender dysphoria the one time Rose made him try on a skirt
My Shane hates Ilya driving fast but would never make him give up his car collection (Rachel Reid that pisses me off so bad)
My Shane has Yuna handle his brand management but does NOT have zero boundaries with her
My Shane is bigger (buffer not taller) than Ilya but loves giving up control
My Shane has terrible anxiety but would never let anyone see it if he couldnāt stop it
My Shane is an amazing captain but has a difficult time connecting to the team on a personal level
My Shane cares about his teammates but knows that it will never be enough
My Shane is a jock who only hangs around the team and his husband but heās great friends with the WAGs
My Shane is gay but he would never treat his ex-girlfriends poorly
My Shane is quiet but loves to gossip with Rose
My Shane is autistic but thinks itās normal because his whole family acts the same way
My Shane is not perfect but tries his very best to support Ilya and understand his depression
My Shane is autistic but loves sex
My Shane is wary around Troy but understands how toxic hockey culture is and that Troy is younger than him and is trying to change
My Shane cares about the rookies so much and takes them under his wing but is NOT the mom figure (thatās Ilya)
My Shane is so scared but would have tried to be more open for Ilya if he knew thatās what he wanted
My Shane would ask Ilya to delete texts but would also make sure they have pictures and mementos to remember each other by
My Shane is a very masculine jock but is also a bottom
hot take in a roundabout way i think that's also why so many of us opt out of becoming parents ourselves
Does anybody know how to fix it
Start disappointing people and not backing out of it when they are upset, reject feeling ashamed of everything including of yourself, start saying No to things you do not want to do not just things you're scared of, do more of those things you're scared of but wish you could do, make your own plans and execute them, decide to do or not do something without basing it on who will Dislike it.
Free Will takes practice, and the chance of making someone somewhere Slightly or even Very Disappointed In You. But you're an adult and you can't be made to stand in a corner anymore.
Something I feel like is a little bit important to keep in mind in regards to Jiang Yanli, she doesnāt live in a āWow, you were so brave for speaking out against your parents,ā society. She lives in a ātalking smack about your parents gets you fired from your job, because not honoring your parents is a moral failing, and we donāt want you ruining our own reputation by extension by being associated with you,ā society.
One of my favorite things about working with very young children is that because
a) young children tend to do a lot of copying the behaviors around them, and
b) most of the people hanging around them are taking care of kids (them)
a lot of little kids REALLY want to take care of slightly littler kids. Today a toddler barely over a year old kissed a baby a couple months younger than him, tried to wipe his nose, and tried to feed him a toy apple. A couple kids older than Him then started trying to put him in a toy shopping cart to take him shopping. There's a 3yo who always tries to steal the babies' milk bottles to feed them. A 4yo tried to give a baby his own bottle once. A toddler too young to know any words yet will shush me if any of the little babies are laying down to sleep.
Obviously we can't allow most of that but it always kills me š their age is the standard and anyone younger than them is Actually a baby

unreasonably amused by the idea of itty bitty shane not wanting to get off the ice after practice to the point that david gets ON the ice to get him, so itty bitty does the "my bones are gone now" resistance move kids are so good at.
but fails to consider that ice is. so slippery.
like stage your protest all you want, buddy, but you have literally never been more move-able.
Read the post and loved it exactly for the potential of what's in the tags: uh oh now David made it funnnn and Shane, quick little bean that he is, riiiight as he's getting to the edge of the rink, about to be picked up and passed to mom, gets up and skates away to the middle of the rink and PLOMP lays down on his back, giggling and kicking his little skates. "Again, Dad (Shane does not call David daddy in front of his friends, he's not a baby!), again!!"
It doesn't help David and Yuna that everyone and their mother thinks this is the funniest, cutest thing ever and laughs, just spurring Shane to do it more and more.
anyway good morning a crucial tenet of hollanovās relationship is that theyāre equals and theyāre the only people in the world who could ever be each otherās equal. they were supposed to stand alone at the top but theyāre there together. shane does not view ilya as a lazy useless inconvenience. ilya does not view shane as a nagging killjoy. they are equals and they both think the other is the best thing since sliced bread and they love each other but more importantly they LIKE each other. stop making them not like each other!
I love the idea of Shane being not just good at hockey but good at all sports, to the point where it fascinates and infuriates the other Centaurs
Because what do you mean they went to the batting cages for some silly fun to watch everyone flail at an unfamiliar sport, only for Shane to need three practice swings before figuring out the force and timing needed to start hitting every single pitch? What do you mean he sets the course record at the mini golf place they have the Pike twins birthday at? What do you mean he learned how to play cricket over a long weekend in the UK? What do you MEAN your Canadian ass that grew up on a calm, tiny lake went to visit Rose in LA and just learned to surf from āsome guyā one of the days she was busy??
Shane doesnāt get why they all think itās so crazy. Heās a professional athlete, heās good at full body and mind control as well as adaptability and hand-eye coordination, and heās so used to being the best in the world at hockey that he views being mundanely good at anything else as barely noticeable. He argues with Troy over whether he counts as being good at basketball just because he killed them all at the basketball shooting game at a Dave and Busterās
They all start making bets to see who can find a sport Hollander isnāt good at. Harris is convinced heāll win with figure skating because Shaneās muscle memory will want to work against him with a technique thatās so similar but also so different, only for Shane to come out of an afternoon learning from his old friend who was at the Olympics with the ability to do simple jumps and spins and is insisting the whole team learn so they can incorporate it into plays. Harris is not allowed to make suggestions after that
Ilya just sits back and lustily watches his husband destroy their friends at volley ball, wrestling, tennis, broom ball, and ultimate frisbee. Shane participates in an all pro athlete Ninja Warrior event to raise money for charity and Ilya canāt watch the clips of Shane flying through the course like a bat out of hell unless he is able to fuck Shane immediately after it ends
Itās very important to me that Wei Wuxian has cuteness aggression about Lan Wangji. Heāll see him across the way just going about his business and he HAS to go over there and give him a big squishy hug he just HAS to because Lan Zhan is so CUTE, the cutest and most perfect husband, the most adorable man in the world!!!!!!!
And everyone is like š¤Ø
And Lan Wangji is just like š

We rly need to bring back the term āacquaintanceā like into regular and frequent use. So many high drama community squabbles and feelings of betrayal could be avoided if people just admitted thereās a step between āstrangerā and a full on friend whose friendship you have a commitment to continuing and fostering. Like sometimes youāre just aquatinted with someone and you might decide you donāt like them after getting to know them a bit betterā¦thatās very normal
