Okay. I was on my beloved AO3 and I saw something that made me do a double take. So, now I really want to know…
What is your AO3 user ID?
I’m an OG user 5 digits or less
Six figures baby!
I’m in the millions…
I’m so curious to see how long people have been on AO3! I know some people have been on there since beta/invite only, but I would love to see what the number is on tumblr!
i hope whatever weighs on your heart grows lighter soon
some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it
Shakespeare is like this
Every time I see a Van Gogh that’s not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away
Have you seen this shit my liege? smh unreal
THE ORANGES
Ilya at certain points has the air of that one really faggy sugar bowl from sword in the stone
leia organa truly has one of the best bait-and-switch character introductions of all time because when you meet her she's this brave, stoic picture of elegance and justice and always knows just what to say to vader and tarkin and is clad in white like an angel and is this perfect two-dimensional archetype of pureness of heart. and then approximately half an hour later into the film she meets luke and han and she IMMEDIATELY shows her true colors as a sarcastic, bitchy control freak with a massive impulsive streak and a deep mine of hyperspecific insults. 10/10 character design i'm obsessed with her
honestly i never thought the phrase “i want that twink obliterated” was like a sexual thing. like when i read the phrase i imagine “a meteor like the one that killed the dinosaurs is summoned from the heavens and hits the twink in question” type situation
Wait, it's a sex thing? I've always assumed it was a supervillain giving his henchman orders to destroy the lithe young hero invading his evil lair.
Yes exactly!
I resent the fact that Ilya is obviously an Ovechkin stand in and so many fanfic authors really just write him as like always obviously behind Shane when I really think the point isn't that one or the other is the best, but they are in a constant push-pull for who's best. And Ovechkin is like the only player who ever score more than 900 goals over his career so Ilyas character is clearly not meant to be That Dude Who's Obviously the Worse of the Two at Hockey
What's interesting about Crosby and Ovechkin - and therefore I think carries over into being interesting about Shane and Ilya - is that they're the best at different things. Ovechkin is the goal scorer who can score with flashes of brilliance or with straight up physicality. Crosby is the playmaker, who reads the ice, finds space, sets up crazy passes, and is somehow always in the right place when the puck is bouncing around. (This also applies to the Messi v Ronaldo debate. Who is better - the magician playmaker Messi or the goal scoring machine Ronaldo?)
It's impossible to come to a consensus answer because you can't really compare their stats head to head, since they're the best at different things. So then you're really arguing about which skills you think are more important or valuable.
Which means Shane and Ilya will legitimately be able to argue for the rest of their lives over who was the better player and there will never be a resolution because there is no right answer. And I think that's beautiful.
No one owes artists anything.
But existence is lonely and sometime you throw hours and hours of effort into a void, on the slim chance it will say something back.

reading your "hit or miss" fic and those boys would LOVE game pigeon
i also LOVED that fic so much.. do u think vivienne Knows about them.. like surely there's one family member going i know what you are shane hollander and ilya rozanov
i think vivienne has suspicions that there's a crush in there somewhere, but i don't think she KNOWS.
i've also seen multiple people say yuna and david HAVE to know, but like. ilya has A Reputation with the ladies. i think mainly they're just glad shane has such a good friend, and if yeah, it seems a little closer than two guys might be otherwise, well *shrug* ilya is european and shane is probably just following his lead lol.
could be a funny concept: shane's chronically online younger cousin (naming her elle in my mind) is a hollanov warrior. has been since shane and ilya got drafted together. i think maybe she's a distant cousin, distant enough that she's like an every-other-year-we-visit cousin. and she keeps that shit LOCKED DOWN she's up on tumblr and twitter as shanes #1 fan. she never mentions that she's related to him nor does she ever express any interest in hockey other than "i mean my cousin plays" (<- no mention of who the cousin is). elle might be the #1 most vindicated person whenever hollanov is revealed. she and luca haas are tumblr mutuals
the idea of elle meeting luca at a bbq (maybe she stopped by to see aunt yuna and uncle david and cousin shane because she goes to a summer camp soon but then there's a bbq and she's a hockey fan so gets to tag along, and she meets luca and just gets The Tumblr Vibe and SO quietly at one point just goes, "i like your shoelaces" and sees luca's whole body take a screenshot and is just
THIS IS SO FUNNY
^ elle probably figured out which mutual luca was as soon as she was in the car on the way home (ive seen the user luca-rozanov thrown around which is so unsubtle and so funny) but luca doesn't figure out elle is hane-shollander until years after they met
i think shane catches on that luca and elle know each other (has no idea how considering the different continents) however, whenever the two of them interact, he sees this extremely distraught expression that luca is desperately trying to hide and thinks his cousin is doing her normal of "hockey? i don't think i've ever heard of that sport. can you explain it to me?" bit but instead it is SO MUCH worse for luca
GOD shane who knows his little cousin likes heckling grown ass men and has since she could barely fucking see over the wall who just assumes she's doing the same to luca, so he takes luca aside and is just, "listen, you can't let her get to you, okay? she's just having fun. she does the same to me all the time."
and now luca is internally having a crisis because he thinks this is shane saying he is somewhere on tumblr, too, and now he is about to have a panic attack thinking about if Shane Fucking Hollander has seen his in-depth hollanov analysis posts in person.
elle (who is. a demon) one day after a game is making introductions to a friend she brought along and goes, "and this is luca rozanov, no, oops, i mean haas. :) my mistake. :) right, luca? :)"
and luca is just
IM SOBBING
maybe harris finds out that shane's beloved cousin is in town and is like. hey shane do you think your cousin would like to come to practice and help me with media (maybe he heard from troy about shane's menace of a younger cousin and thinks that she would be a fantastic person to bring to the media team)
shane's like yeah why not? i'll see if she's free
and oh boy is elle free, she's so excited. she's coming up with new questions that these hockey boys had never heard of before. like why do you look sometimes like a trout when you're warming up? or how many times do you think you can skate around the rink at full speed before you throw up?
harris is having a fantastic time. shane is equally having a fantastic time because he knows his cousin is so excited. luca is trembling in fear because he has been avoiding her since she got to the rink. he knows she's going to get his ass. he's very unsubly skating away from her every time she gets even a teeny bit close to him. she knows what he's doing. he knows that she knows what he's doing. nobody else knows why luca, one of the nicest rookies, looks terrified of shane's cousin
the idea of the lowkey cat and mouse dynamic happening on this ice between giant, built luca haas and this petite 16 year old girl is KILLING ME.
it's ahead of family night, so she gets to do interviews as kind of a bit of involving family at every step of the way, and she's not on camera (both because minor (they do get a sign off from her mom) and also she's just not interested in that. she'd rather be an anonymous plight to hockey players everywhere), but for ANYONE paying attention it is VERY clear that she is very slowly chasing luca around the rink as luca looks increasingly sweaty. she is coming for him, and they BOTH know it. luca straight up contemplates just puking on the ice so he can CALL IT and LEAVE.
he loses track of her for like a minute and just hears "you avoid miette?" from behind him and feels his soul briefly leave his body.
