shane (a little tipsy) being cornered by a few fans at a bar one night and they ask him what’s the best thing about coming out, expecting him to say something motivating like self-expression and liberation and shane just goes

“i don’t know, probably that i can have ilya’s photos on my phone now :).”

and the whole of non bigot hockey twt just fucking crash out and montreal metros and crowell gets burned at the stake

These tags are my fave

[bambicoded]

firm believer that while shane has his endorsements and is the face of every commercial, ilya is making a cameo in every action movie that'll have him. im talking fast and furious, mad max, pacific rim. he's a background character in a casino scene for one of the james bond movies. he's in fucking john wick. kingsman. godzilla. you name it. and he is proud of it, calls himself a movie star, "in more movies than rose landry!" just to get a rise out of shane. he's already ripped as fuck, anyway, he fits right in.

*this post brought to you by me specifically wanting ilya to have channing tatum's cameo in bullet train as "guy on the train who thinks the illegal crime dealings is a sex thing and wants to participate". i see that for him i really do. and then he'd get to meet benito, too.

Ilya and Shane, but it’s just them seeing each other as a version of their husband no one else understands them seeing.

To Ilya, Shane is the funniest, sexiest, bitchiest and downright FREAKIEST person he knows. He tells everyone he knows this, yet for some reason no one seems to believe him. His husband is such an asshole, and Ilya loves him for it.

While to Shane, Ilya is his soft and most precious baby. A heart of gold and with feelings so wide and deep he is breathless at just how much he CARES. Sunshine itself. Shane laughs at how people describe his ‘scary, no-smiling Slavic nightmare of a husband.’ See Ilya! He DOES get sarcasm (he does not.)

Every time I see a gifset of the stairwell kiss I'm like oh surely this has been slowed down. It hasn't! He is genuinely lingering like that. Do you do that with all your hookups Ilya. Jesus fucking Christ genuinely are you okay. Is the We Meet Up We Fuck Is Simple in the FUCKING ROOM WITH US. what are you DOING man.

My headcanon is that Ilya cannot handle spice and constantly finds elaborate ways to avoid eating Bood's especially spicy bbq stuff until one day Troy calls him out on it and makes him eat a wind in front of the team. When he takes a bite of some jerk chicken his whole face feels like its on fire but he tries to hold a poker face and Wyatt is like 'Dude are u crying?' and ilya is like FUCK NO, RUSSIANS DO NOT CRY OVER CHICKEN! But talking made the pain worse so he has to storm away to the kitchen where Shane has a big glass of milk waiting for him.

i think i've posted this before, but ilya truly does deserve an award for his patience after getting woken up at fuck o'clock at the cottage for a five year plan strategy session when he was in the middle of a rem cycle.

like the way he asked "what is nur-ate-iv?" makes me think man TRULY was not catching all of the words getting tossed at him so fast the second his eyes were even a LITTLE open. like he wasn't asking "what story did you come up with?" he's asking "what word are you even saying to me right now?" man got like 0.2 seconds to be like "oh i'm awake now?" before he was getting PELTED with english because shane had a forty step plan that couldn't wait like. three more hours.

i would have hit him with a pillow and said let's circle back, so kudos to ilya.

ilya rozanov who’s known to boston as the mysterious fuckboy from russia who chirps like he’s getting paid for it and is crazy good at hockey. one day a teammate is absent from a few games in a row and turns back up to practice with a fucking newborn and they’re all in their hockey gear fawning over this tiny baby. then once everyone’s said hi before practice, the crowd parts and ilyas just stood by the doorway, a literal deer in headlights staring at the bundle of blankets in his teammates arms and-

“do you wanna hold him?”

ilya’s moving forward before he can process the words and everyone’s holding their breath as he gathers the newborn into his arms, pausing to take his gloves off first. it’s a few tense seconds before the baby babbles and shifts slightly before tucking his head into the crook of his arm and swiftly falling to sleep.

ilya looks up to see his whole team stifling grins, “i think we’ve found the new babysitter” and he bites back a chirp because he doesn’t want to wake the baby he’s holding so delicately to his chest.

he’s stuck on the sidelines for the whole practice while he rocks the baby through the slams against walls, waving its little arm towards its dad when it eventually wakes up.

and yeah pictures surface soon after of fucking rozanov staring down at the baby in his arms with the fucking softest eyes and twitter has a field day proving he’s a softie at heart

Ilya 'i only threw this party for you' Rozanov is my FAVOURITE trope. I'd do anything for him. The pure, shameless devotion to getting Shane's attention (in the most Shane repelling way). Its like watching a pigeon doing a mating dance for his oblivious queen😭. And when he fails, he is NOT beneath begging on his knees. I love this Ilya so much.

This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct

We don’t talk about this enough. With all the big romantic gestures in The Long Game, this, to me, is one of the most romantic moments.

We know Ilya isn’t a fan of Shane’s restrictive diet. He teases him about it, but Ilya is an expert ragebaiter who knows how to tease the people he cares about when they feel safe and in ways that never really hurt.

Shane is “frantic” in this scene. Ilya has the perfect opening to say something about his diet, and he doesn’t take it. He sees that Shane is panicking, steps in and fixes it. He was looking at that menu thinking about Shane and Shane’s fuckass diet that Ilya doesn’t even like. But he knows this is important to Shane. He knows Shane is already nervous about being on a date with Ilya in public and being with another queer couple. So he meets Shane’s needs without Shane ever having to ask, and he does it quietly, without drawing any attention, so that Shane can save face.

Of course he’s gonna tease him about it a little bit later because that’s what they do. But he only does that AFTER Shane’s had a chance to catch his breath and feel safe again.

To be loved is to be known indeed.
