I totally believe that Shane and Ilya, using their vast hoards of wealth, are using it to play out their crazy sex roleplays with a degree of accuracy and budget mere mortals like us can only dream of.
Their favourite is "Mr Landlord" where Shane buys a shitty little house or apartment or something, and pretends to be a landlord renting it out, while Ilya pretends to be looking for a cheap place to stay. And they haggle back and forth about a price because the rent is always too high, until eventually Ilya is like "Maybe I can pay the lower rent and make the rest up to you in another way." 😏
And then they keep it for several weeks, sneaking away to the house or apartment to fuck on a shitty mattress in every room until they get bored and sell it again.
But crucially, Shane is getting a team in to renovate and fix it up each time before selling it on so that he makes a neat little profit. That's Part Of It. It turns Shane on to know that he's Winning at property, and it turns Ilya on that his husband is so fucking turned on by resale values.
It was ordered as commission, but the customer deceived me, didn’t pay me for the second half and muted me, so PLEASE feel free to use this commission as you want, make prints, post it online (with credit), anything!
shane really loves when he’s on top and he’s slowly grinding and really feeling himself and getting lost in the sensation of being full and he opens his eyes to look down at ilya and ilya has his hands behind his head with his big biceps just budging out each side of his head and his armpit hair on full display and his pupils are blown wide and he’s slightly opened mouthed with a small smile on his lips watching shane’s face and just taking in how much shane is enjoying having his cock inside him.
I never saw what their IG grids looked like with the September posts until today and now I truly understand what people mean when they say this was their hard launch 😭🥹🥰
A few years into Shane playing for Ottawa, one of the younger Centaurs, maybe Holmberg, comes to him with a problem. He has been sleeping with this girl for a while now and he's so into her but she travels for work and he knows she has a couple of regular hookups all over the place. So, since Shane - judging by Cap's reputation - has been in a similar position, he asks him how he convinced Roz to be exclusive.
Shane stares at him, uncomprehendingly, for a second before slowly replying, "...I didn't."
Holmberg gives him a deeply skeptical look. "I've seen the way you react when people flirt with Roz in front of you," he says, "there's no way you guys have an open relationship."
"No," Shane clarifies immediately. He would rather set himself on fire than have to live with sharing his husband with another person. "No, we're exclusive," he confirms, "but I never asked him to stop sleeping with other people. He just kind of... stopped. I didn't even find out until a few months after it happened so, I don't know, maybe just wait it out?"
Eventually, the Centaurs learn that, although Cap and Hollzy have clearly found in each other what most people spend their lives searching for, they are the absolute worst people to ask for any type of relationship advice.
shout out to I will follow you into the dark for being the song of all time. death cab for cutie just nailed it. there's never been a song as much as I will follow you into the dark. it's so song. like?? hello?? if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied, illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs, if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks, I will follow you into the dark. that's all there is to it.
Being in the Heated Rivalry fandom more than anything has shown me that growing up in Detroit gave me a very skewed reference point for how much knowledge the average person has about hockey. That is to say, it continues to surprise me when people get into HR and have both never even watched a hockey game IRL and bring literally no baseline level of hockey knowledge with them because like.
