rotating in my mind the secret hypercanadian alternate universe heated rivalry with protagonist gord hollander

[p-idgey]

Gord hollander and his uncle doug

[semiconductiveshanehollander]

i think that heated rivalry has exposed me to how outside countries (mainly America) think canada works and it’s so so funny to me i’ve never been more entertained. people saying that shane is a country boy who grew up spending summers in the wilderness and it’s jsut like, the Muskokas. like yeah it’s not the same level of city boyness that ilya has going on, but like he’s not taking on the rockies every august or anything it’s still very much just normal wealthy family cottage country.

or like the amount of ppl saying shane takes off his shoes bc he’s Asian, and like i can’t speak to that cultural experience, but after spending my entire life in canada i’ve only ever been told to keep my shoes on in one persons house and it felt weird the whole time.

or thinking that our university/college sports teams are big in the same way americas are big when theyre just straight up not. unless ur school has a rivalry or ur already really into sports u probably don’t know or hear a lot about it and it DEFINITELY isn’t televised like americas is

and the amount of emphasis i’ve seen placed on our cash in some fics is so funny like at least 80% of people just pay by tap now a days but that technology is still much newer in america.

oh my god one time i read a fic where a waiter in ottawa took shane’s card instead of giving him the reader like its such a small thing but it felt like i was a detective catching someone in the act.

and all the little cultural things and differences between anglo and french canada ik it’s brushed over mostly in the series but it’s interesting how a lot of fics treat all of canada whether it be vancouver or toronto or ottawa or montreal as the same cultural landscape like no actually a toronto accent would be like kind of incredibly rare in BC. idk it’s interesting to see how other people think of us i love to see it

[p-idgey]

I HAD TO STOP READING A FIC BECAUSE SHANE CALLED THE COTTAGE THE CABIN!!!! I can so clwarly imagine ilya being like "we will go up to your cabin this summer?" And shane being like "ew babe its a cottage"

[rubyredbonnetblue]

shane hollander's strong anglo accented french i love you

it's genuinely so endearing to me

"encoRe je suis content avec tous les buts"

"je m'en fou pour les détails"

"je pense pas à des choses comme ça"

"je suis super heuReuX jouER AU HOCKEY pour les MetRos"

[p-idgey]

"Des choses comme ca" is the most canada-accurate line from the entire show. He sounds like everyone getting a C in mandatory 10tb grade french. Like yes babes go you with that sentence that, very technically, does make grammatical sense!

Being a gestalt language processor is a fucking trip. What do you mean i hear the word rizz i am hit over the head with the phrase "with rizz" said in a particular manner, in a scandinavian accent, and then, to avoid spending all day repeating that phrase because it will certainly get stuck in my head the way that songs do (and looking insane because the character of the th to the R sounds in that accent is foreign to my mouth) i have to comb my memory for every scandinavian i have heard speak to discover that it was maia arson crimew discussing hacking via being convincing on the phone on the cybersecurity episode of well theres your problem.

Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely

I hope i interpreted this correctly, this poll is about personal conception of transness and if one identifies with the word transsexual, correct?

Ok now whatever you do, don't think about Shane trying to learn more about Russian and finding out about diminutive nicknames and calling Ilya "Ilyusha/Ilyushka" for the first time and Ilya fucking folding like cheap laundry. He was already never winning an argument with Shane and those big brown eyes but now he may as well not even try.

[p-idgey]

Been spiralling about the Russian language and diminutives for longer than heated rivalry has existed which gives me the authority to say that a legitimate diminutive option for shane is Shanock with a long a bordering on e sound, meaning it's pronounced exactly lile SHCHENOK which means PUPPY IN RUSSIAN THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK.

Anyway this is my one gripe with the series Ilya comes from a culture that has a constantly used, formalized system for saying someone's name but specifically if you love them, and they DONT FUCKING MAKE USE OF IT [except between Svetlana (Sveta) and Ilya (ilyusha) which is adorable but come ON do it more]

He's Ilyushka to me forever:)<3

whenever i hear about somebody's loneliness i think of my wife, who once went to a baseball game and within ten minutes was splitting a bag of peanuts with the elderly gentleman next to her (she does not like peanuts). a woman once bought her a drink because my wife called her "ma'am" while holding the door for her and her husband, which my wife found so unnecessary that she sent her one back. every restaurant discount we've ever been offered is because when a server introduces themselves my wife repeats their name back and makes sure she refers to them by name throughout our meal. last night she was off driving a friend's coworker to buy a snow shovel, though she then stayed to help dig out their car. and in the middle of nowhere north carolina we once ran into the parents of one of her distant friends, where instead of leaving a weird coincidence alone she accepted their invite to dinner, and for the low price of giving up our evening plans we were treated to some of the best fish and the best stargazing and a best memory i will keep for the rest of my life.

i share all of this not just to talk up my wife, which is not hard to get me to do, but because i see people all the time who are so desperate for human connection, with no idea how to access it. but my wife would be the first to say she's not doing anything special. all you need is to show some genuine interest in other people. you need to listen to the things they tell you, and then you need to remember those things. you need to be willing to invite people into your world and to let them invite you into theirs. when your life offers up a chance to be kind, even at an inconvenience or an awkwardness to you: you need to take it. and, honestly, trust me on this, as someone who's still learning how to do this myself but has had the privilege of an excellent teacher: you want to take it. what you give, your life will give back, and i think you'll find that'll lead you to some pretty special places if you let it.

They're going to blame trans women for icing charlie kirk for the next 3-7 days until they catch the white guy who almost certainly did it, who will probably be some flavor of right-wing with inscrutable beef and then suddenly this will all be swept under the rug and forgotten about

Having a very immediately pre-revolution Russia core time over there where guys keep getting assassinated by other guys who are nanometers away from them on the political compass but still mad about it for whatever reason. Fascinating
