finishing something you worked really hard for feels like nothing
this fic is so good i hope i write it
sorry for finding it hot when people's hair goes grey. as if im wrong
The Lovers by Jef Joseph Marie Thomas Lambeaux (1852-1908)
EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WANTED
Listening to songs and thinking about something the songs aren’t about
fondly remembering tlg shane insisting on riding ilya because he wants to burn off extra calories and he's like "so hot baby etc etc i love your dick" and ilya is like "no, you just have an eating disorder" they better keep that in there
Something I haven't seen discussed in the Heated Rivalry fandom is the Actual Real ice hockey concept of a dance partner or 'tying a man up' where to prevent 2 on 1 brawls or sit out a brawl players on opposing teams will skate up and hug each other in a very damsel in distress way. The first time I saw it I genuinely thought I was watching queer Romeo and Juliet on ice. Are we all going to pretend King Chirper Ilya Rozanov would not start a fight and then go tie up his man as an excuse to cuddle? That Shane Good Boy Hollander couldn't use it as a way of pretending to be the bigger more mature person? Let them cuddle at work as dance partners under the veil of heteronormative witchcraft the league is under to pretend this isn't deeply queer coded!
I have a hockey culture/time period question if you don’t mind! I know hazing has been an issue in almost all sports. I was wondering in your opinion would that have been something Shane/Ilya would have experienced or would their natural talent made them sort of “untouchable”. OR would that same talent make them even more of a target?
I’m imagining the added racialized element with Shane would put a bigger target on his back even if it was subconscious. Ilya’s father we see is incredibly important so I imagine that that might make him more insulted from harm but who knows.
Kinda fucked up, but also can you envision Shane or Ilya PARTICIPATING in hazing of others? More so in a team hierarchy sort of way. Maybe nothing awful but- just little things.
always up to talk abt hockey. yes, they would have been subject to hazing/other proliferated predatory/derogatory abuses/violations from kids AND adults in the hockey feeder system. i appreciate folks not wanting to get into it, but there is no untouchable guy in hockey. so yes, the latter. skill makes a target bc everyone wants to be the best or get one over on the best.
cannot find the link rn, but there's a good bit in a sid cr*sby retrospective that highlights his childhood tournaments, & how he was already so obviously better than the other kids, that he had to stop wearing his jersey in between games in the arenas bc parents/adults would see him and start harassing him for their child's sake; and they targeted him w deliberate attempts to injury/maim.
that's just a small bit of what's available publicly to see.
that's the culture.
yes, it would be worse with shane. exceptionally. with shane there's always gonna be overt (NOT subconscious) racist & violent white capitalist hegemony thinking he is not 'worth enough or white enough' to take on as a part of their for-profit elite white men's club. kids emulate and reflect this, to violently attack players of color.
players today in the league deal with this in a spectrum: if they fight/push back against racist comments/literally having things thrown at them, they are labelled a troublemaker (nazem k*dri). if they make comments pointing out that players are required to assimilate w league culture and not rock the boat, they are punished publicly (zayne p*rekh). if they make a young, dumb mistake, local law enforcement will move to try and end their career, instead of supporting them like white players through an entire SA trial (gavin mck*nna). IF they do none of the above and they break records and churn out killer point totals per season and rarely fight, (and even wear a police jersey on walk-in lmfuckingao) they will still somehow not the be the 'right(white) kind of player' to publicly commend (jason r*bertson).¹
so shane is in a three prong lock of: conformity to white masculinity, lack of bodily/identity autonomy, and systemic state-sanctioned racism and classism.
A little totally sane study I did of Hudson Williams. He’s a delight to draw.
