“this is ilya, i will never listen to your voicemail” and shane takes that to heart!!
he thinks ilya doesn't ever listen to his messages, so maybe he starts leaving one here and there. maybe they're nothing really, just a note to say he tried to call. sometimes leaving off with "oh, this is shane. by the way" he calls when he knows ilya won't be able to pick up; "hey, uh. i know you won't get this, but i was thinking about you. i miss you. i know you're just in ottawa but... sometimes it feels a lot further. i love you." and sometimes he'll be watching a game and god. he wants to talk to ilya about that play, so he'll leave message about it. shane never really tells ilya that this is something he does.
ilya knows, of course. watches his voicemail fill up little by little. always makes sure there's space for new ones. has ones that he listens to so often that knows them by heart. memorizes the way shane laughs because he thinks no one will hear it, the sound of his breath on the other line between words. he listens to every one of them.
Coach Wiebe caught between genuinely wanting the league to stop being homophobic and for queer players everywhere to be safe and happy vs benefiting from hockey being so homophobic that he gets some of the best players in the league for cheap
SOILER WARNINF IF U HAVENT FINISHED/READ THE BOOK! he looks funky here <3
I JUUUUST FINISHED reading "in memorium" by alice winn and. what can I say. wow. new brainrot material
sidney ellwood is a gorgeous name and I envy it but also he's gorgeous as a person and I love him and he's my everything and here's my contribution. he's in brazil and at, well, relative peace! <3
mmm my favorite: guy who looks dumbfounded when he looks at his crush and guy who denies himself the possibility of being perceived as anything but a platonic
in my head, in brazil, they own a cat named marie. marie loves henry. marie despises sidney. the compromise? they keep marie.
ps!! thank u to my dear friends @loafwins for supporting the initial headcanon, and @jovienna for supplying the meme content 🙏 my actual darlings and saints of IM thank u very much <3
