embarrassment is the cost of entry.

if you aren't willing to look like a foolish beginner, you'll never become a graceful master.

the thing about capitalism is that at a certain point a product reaches its maximum audience and cant really be improved (at least not while remaining profitable), but capitalism requires a product provide infinite growth, and at that point the only way to increase profits is to raise prices, cut corners, and in the case of services start adding advertisements. this is just how the system works.

Rent-seeking is the act of growing one's existing wealth by manipulating the social or political environment without creating new wealth.[1] Rent-seeking activities have negative effects on the rest of society. They result in reduced economic efficiency through misallocation of resources, reduced wealth creation, lost government revenue, heightened income inequality,[2][3] risk of growing political bribery, and potential national decline.

The actual economic term for this parasitic behavior is "Rent Seeking", as in "charging you rent for things that didn't used to cost money just because we can."

"The classic example of rent-seeking, according to Robert Shiller, is that of a property owner who installs a chain across a river that flows through their land and then hires a collector to charge passing boats a fee to lower the chain. There is nothing productive about the chain or the collector, nor do passing boats get anything in return. The owner has made no improvements to the river and is not adding value in any way, directly or indirectly, except for themselves. All they are doing is finding a way to obtain money from something that used to be free." obtain money links to the wikipedia article for Parasitism which might be the most brutal diss I've ever seen on wikipedia ever

Someone talk to me about how crazy the foreplay at the cottage must go because they have TIME. Shane was genuinely under the impression that foreplay was ten minutes TOPS, just some making out and usually mouth stuff. It must have rearranged his entire atomic structure the first time Ilya pulled him between his thighs on the couch and ran his palms up and down the inside of Shane's thighs and sucked soft kisses onto his neck and just murmured, "Shh," when Shane tried to escalate.

Consider Shane just going soft and buzzy and pliant as Ilya moves a hand over the bulge in his jeans, a brief and tender touch, and then draws his fingers up to Shane's stomach, which jumps as he laughs and moans.

"Don't you wanna fuck me, baby?" Shane finally mumbles when this has gone on for a while.

"Always," Ilya replies, like he's making a vow, and Shane shivers. "Let me turn you on, sweetheart."

"I am," Shane whines.

Ilya doesn't quite know how to explain to Shane that there are levels of arousal that can come from long moments, hours even, of touch. Arousal that builds from wandering hands and curious lips and whispered secrets. Sex that feels like summiting a mountain together rather than a race to the top. He thinks that Shane, with his yoga and his careful self-discipline would find it absolutely enthralling to discover that they can build something like that inside his body together.

Ilya doesn't have the words to explain these things, because some of them are desires so deep inside himself that he's only just uncovering them. So he kisses under Shane's ear, and lets him wiggle and whine, and draws his hands over his thighs again, over his clothes, keeping him warm and happy and tingling and floaty.

And he shows him.

In my beautiful mind after they are outed and married shane is always complaining that he has no phone storage space like he’ll say “hold on I gotta delete DoorDash” why? “My camera won’t open if I don’t free up some space” and Ilya finally is like moya lyubov this is a solvable problem. And he takes Shane’s phone to check the storage and his photos app is taking up 90% of the space on his phone and Ilya is like okay just delete some pictures. Easy. And Shane’s like ?? No I need them. “Can’t you save them somewhere else?” I mean, Yes, they’re already saved but I want easy access to them. “What do you need easy access to look at all the time.” Don’t worry about it “Shane.” Don’t worry about it!!!!! And that’s how Ilya finds out Shane’s “husband ❤️” folder is 25k pictures deep

and what if i said that the rooftop fight in episode 1 lays the groundwork for the dynamics that we'll see in the boxing day fight. ilya going through something hard and serious with his family/depression and not saying it to shane, so that shane thinks the fight is about the immediate problem (him winning rookie of the year/them going to bood's party). and ilya getting getting mad at shane for not understanding, but only saying a tiny sliver of the truth (not everything is about you, hollander/i have no one). shane trying to ask about it, but getting agitated (so what is it then?/could you please explain what the fuck is happening?). and shane saying something pissy bc he feels so upset (all you do is beat me. i win one fucking thing, and you can’t even show your face/uh, fuck you. sorry i still want to win cups instead of smoking weed with my teammates between losses). hashtag the troubles have always been there and that's the good shit to me. so much to learn but they still love each other <3

shane waking ilya up at the cottage with his "wait, I have another idea" monologue about starting a charity makes me think that shane is one of those people who just Does That periodically

like he'll be gnawing on an idea for a couple days, and he'll go to sleep thinking about it, and then one day he'll wake up at 3am and it's finally done percolating and he has to Tell Someone About It Right Now and every time ilya is just like

I think that Ilya was a little…nervous is not the right word, but hesitant to bring up the fact he got an STD panel done a week before leaving for the cottage. And printed it out. And brought it in his suitcase. He’s hesitant because Shane actually asked to be fucked raw early into their situationship.

And it was Ilya who shut that down because he was scared Shane might try that with other people and get sick.

While it was definitely not his place and a little unfair to say while fucking him, Ilya had said, “you never, fucking ever let anyone fuck you raw, you understand? People are fucking liars, you don’t let anyone fuck you raw unless you are with them. Do you understand me, Hollander?”

Shane never brought it up again.

But now Ilya was going to bring it up. And that meant, if Hollander even remembered his desperate command from years ago, that he considered himself ‘with’ Hollander. Or at least, he wanted to be.

It paid off when Hollander looked at the paper and said, “Oh good. I got mine done a couple weeks ago. I don’t have it printed but I can pull it up on the computer if you want to see.”
