It’s very important to me that Wei Wuxian has cuteness aggression about Lan Wangji. He’ll 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 🤨
And Lan Wangji is just like 😌

Idiots in love
shane taking care of ilya ♥️
We rly need to bring back the term “acquaintance” like into regular and frequent use. So many high drama community squabbles and feelings of betrayal could be avoided if people just admitted there’s a step between “stranger” and a full on friend whose friendship you have a commitment to continuing and fostering. Like sometimes you’re just aquatinted with someone and you might decide you don’t like them after getting to know them a bit better…that’s very normal
Ok but what if instead of Shane being jealous of Svetlana it’s Svetlana whose jealous of Shane. Not because he’s Ilyas partner (I don’t think something she ever really wanted for herself,) or even because he moved to Ottawa for him (though you know she had OPINIONS on what that meant for his career)
She envies him because she tried to help Ilya for years and it never worked, and he was never willing to be fully honest with her, so she had come to accept that the door that closed for him when he found Irinas body would never be opened again and she shouldn’t push too hard
Then Shane Hollander comes along and Ilya is going to therapy and quitting smoking and cutting back on drinking and taking antidepressants and making new friends who he actually confides in instead of just partying together and why didn’t it ever happen with her? How was Shane able to pry that that door open when she couldn’t? What does he have to offer Ilya that she never could? What made Ilya chase him even when none of his other hookups kept his attention outside of his bed? Is it his complete heart on his sleeve sincerity? His lack of ties to Russia? Wondering about it keeps her up at night sometimes
#ilya baby get behind me
HEY HELLO JUST GIVE ME THE GUN INSTEAD
(sorry @joyousmistake these tags killed me)
instances of shane, the worlds most jock, calling ilya baby:
“Baby, what time is it?”
“Huh? Hold on, baby, I can’t hear you. Fuck, it’s loud in here.”
“Fuck, Ilya, yes, like that, baby, just like that, fuck—“
“Ilya, what’s— Are you crying? What’s wrong, baby, it’s okay, it’s— What’s wrong? Please, tell me, what’s wrong?”
“Fuckin’ A, Rozanov! Yes, baby! Fuck, that was a good one. C’mere.”
“Mm, baby, your feet are cold. Ah! Ilya, get your cold fucking feet off me. Put some socks on. Jesus.”
“Hold on, I’ll ask him— Baby, my mom wants to know if steak is good for dinner?”
“Your hair is so fluffy today. No, no, come back, let me— Yes. Thank you, baby.”
“Ilyusha. My baby. Ilyusha. You’re so pretty. Don’t laugh! I’m being serious!”
“You’re gonna have to skate better than that to beat me in the scoring race, baby, I’m locked in this season.”
“Fuck, baby, you’re burning up. No, asshole, I mean you’re sick. You can’t go to practice like this, don’t be fucking stupid.”
“Uh, just a beer, please. Thank you, baby, that’s perfect.”
“Ilya, baby, you want a pretzel?”
“Hi, baby. You looked good out there, that goal was fuckin’ insane.”
hes sooo desperate its kinda hot. i mean funny
i do love and respect the idea of the world at large being stunned at finding out how long ilya and shane have been together, but i truly think that under NO circumstances would shane ever choose to offer ANY personal details about himself or their relationship willingly.
which combined with ilya loving just making things up and saying them (as seen in the "yes, the rumors are true-" scene) offers the very funny idea that ilya actively tries to offer as much privacy as possible by just throwing out stories about them at random so there IS no central story for people to hound shane about.
assorted backstories a la "ilya just started talking and found out with everyone else where he was going with this":
they got snowed in at all stars one year (b-but wasn't that year in florida?) and decided there was nothing better to do
it started as a bit and neither is willing to give up first
they paired off to combine forces like nato
they paired off to limit how many kids they could have in the future to make sure hockey stayed fair
ilya lost a bet six years ago
shane lost a bet three years ago
ilya got tired of remembering phone numbers for his hookups and shane's is easy
ilya got tired of having to look things up in english and french when talking to other people and decide to marry someone who speaks two languages to save time
shane is gifted enough (wink wink wink) that other people are cowards and only ilya was brave enough to rise to the challenge (this one gets him in trouble on the phone later but it also gets him laid that night at home and also confuses the online speculation about who tops and bottoms, so net positive tbh)
yuna hollander is the best manager in the business and a political marriage was the best way to secure her services longterm
with the end result that all shane has to do is shrug and "my husband has already told our story a thousand times by this point. no point in repeating it and boring people." in interviews to get out of people trying to dig into things he doesn't want to tell them.
okay we get it shane hollander is fucking yours and yours only no one is taking him away from you jesus christ
i propose a new day of the week called hollanov thursday
Shane does an interview after they're outed where he says, kind of off-handedly, that the one thing that still bothers him about having to keep their relationship secret for so long is that there are no pictures of them together as a couple from those years.
Someone clips it and it goes viral.
Over the next few days, Shane and Ilya's mentions start to get flooded with pictures. Mostly it's screenshots from various games they played against each other, meticulously picked through by dedicated fans to find every moment Shane and Ilya looked at each other on the ice.
Some screenshots get shared by hundreds of different people because they stand out so obviously: Shane and Ilya meeting each other's eyes during a face off; Ilya looking at Shane while his back is turned, naked longing visible on his face; Shane chasing after Ilya with a small but delighted grin.
There are also pictures from press events, award ceremonies, behind the scenes at All Stars. Seemingly any time Shane and Ilya got captured in the same frame gets dug up and shared.
Finally, a couple of weeks later, the director of Shane and Ilya's CCM commercial posts outtakes from their shoot. It's captioned 'Took a bit of digging but I knew I still had these somewhere! I had to make my contribution to the #HollanovArchives even though this must have been a while before they got together. These kids had crazy chemistry, right from the start!'
Shane hasn't responded to the onslaught yet, too overwhelmed by the (slightly terrifying) dedication of their fans as well as the fact that he now has dozens of pictures clearly displaying his and Ilya's love for each other during a time in their lives when it was so desperately hidden.
He does respond now, sharing the director's post with a sincere (and publicist-approved) caption thanking him and the fans.
Ilya also shares the post, tacking on 'yes if a while means a few hours 👅' like he didn't cry when Shane showed him the videos.

A HUG A DAY: [23/∞] ♡ Stefan & Bonnie [Tvd | 4.02]
Random hockey player: Shane Hollander loves hockey so much that he'd probably marry it if he could!
Shane: *marries generational hockey player and living legend Ilya Rozanov*
Random hockey player: well I'll be damned! The crazy son of a bitch did it!
Shane who, before him and Ilya get outed, keeps hearing people, fellow players, his own friends, talk shit about the man he loves and it pains him, so one night he googles "Ilya Rozanov nice person" and ends up in a subreddit where people share stories of celebrities that are surprisingly nice people and the page dedicated if Ilya is full of wholesome stories
hospital personnel from where he used or still visited the paediatric department with the team, parents of patients, even former patients themselves seeing how great, attentive, funny and light-hearted he was
puck bunnies or women he had one night stands with during the years playing for Boston saying he was a phenomenal lover and a consent king, or women that approached him whilst inebriated and whom he gently turned down, bought a bottle of water for and paid for their cabs to get back home safely
neighbours saying he was very polite, people he was nice or helpful to through the years, a mom with a screaming child whose first class seat on a flight to Moscow he gave up so she could have more room for her herself and the baby, a classmate he defended in school, a former teacher saying how smart and talented he was in spite of not having much time to study because he was training a lot, Russian-speakers saying his interviews in his mother tongue are a thing of beauty and incredibly well-spoken, waiters and shop assistants stressing how polite his interactions were
Shane devours these stories with tears in his eyes and a heart about to explode, the tab perpetually open in his phone, incognito mode.
And when someone talks shit about Ilya or when, after their outing, hate starts to be thrown at him even more viciously from the media, he goes back to the tab, just to see that there actually many that agree with him: Ilya, the love of his life, is the most wonderful person
