i have to remind myself everyday
saw obsession with guy i have a an undetermined relationship. which was a choice. that we made.
here’s how natasha pierre & the great comet of 1812 can still sweep
ilya being in a period of Bad depression and between playing games and going to practice he doesn't really have the energy to do much else and he just kind of collapses when he gets home and he hasn't shaved in days and his hair is unruly and he just feels kinda gross and ugly but doesn't have the energy to do anything about it so shane is like Not On My Watch so he drags ilya into the tub and washes his hair with his special curly shampoo and carefully shaves his face and lathers him in too much body lotion which means he has to stand stark naked in the bathroom for 10 minutes before he can put clothes on and shane tries his best to do his curly hair routine for him he gets the special towel and the curl cream and his eyebrows furrow in concentration as he scrunches ilya's curls to the best of his abilities and ilya sits on the toilet lid with tears in his eyes
AS PROMISED: fics ive enjoyed lately
there is no rhyme or reason to this ive just been depressed and reading an insane amount of fic and wanted to share
a decision to stop needing things softer than they are by greymcknot - 24,853 words - not complete - the ilya retrograde amnesia fic of my dreams it's so so so so good
for jessica (or not) by 21cg - 10,079 words - complete - im not even a big au guy but this hit so good. shane and ilya are roommates and shane is bad at sex with his girlfriend so he asks ilya for........... advice
white collar crimes by anonymous - 10,692 words - complete - shane stealing ilya's clothes. that's the fic and it's perfect.
if i could save time in a bottle by imbihesgay - 4,947 words - complete - hollanov aging fic my BELOVEDDDDD. if you know me you know that's the thing im SENSITIVE about......
would you still love me by UglyGreenJacket - 4,187 words - complete - ilya asks if shane would still love him if he's a worm and then they both end up spiraling about it 10/10 no notes
Operation Get Roz a SAP by dntat - 9,781 words - complete - a fun and slightly canon divergent fic where the cens think ilya is lonely and try to set him up with various people
Leave It On by beedeer - 9,730 words - complete - the best jealous shane x jealous ilya fic.... ilya forgets to put his ring back on after a game and they both end up spiraling about it. possessive4possessive hollanov
Is This a Jeep? by beedeer - 4,100 words - complete - all the sweet, anxious moments between "im coming to the cottage" and shane picking ilya up from the airport. i love this so much and i think this author writes them perfectly
u & me at home by static_radio - 3,325 words - complete - shane at ilya's ottawa house for the first time reacting very normally to the fact that ilya clearly bought this house with the intention of it one day being Their house
The Shane Hollander Debacle by nineteenohtwo - 9,791 words - complete - the internet trying to cancel shane for not using pride tape ASDHDKSFHAS every part in this series is like crack to me. i am this author's biggest fan.
guilty pleasure by WeeBeastie - lots of words - ongoing series but can all be read as one-shots or out of order - a 7-part series of shane wearing lingerie for ilya. you're welcome.
phone in bed can range from comforting to mundane but phone in parked car will have you feeling like you've never done anything right in your entire life
One thing I’ve seen happens in this fandom- and honestly sometimes in real life discussions about Hudson too- is that people end up flattening all POC experiences into one universal experience.
Race absolutely matters. Racism absolutely exists. But different racial groups are stereotyped in different ways, and those stereotypes can produce completely different social expectations.
For example, I’ve seen people criticize Rachel and Jacob for joking about Hudson being unintelligent because he’s a person of color. If Hudson were Black, I would understand that criticism more, because there is a long history of anti-Black stereotypes portraying Black people as unintelligent. But Hudson is Asian. Asian men are stereotyped in almost the opposite way. They’re often assumed to be intelligent, studious, and academically successful. The stereotype is still racist, but it’s a different stereotype. It doesn’t suddenly become an anti-Asian stereotype just because we’ve replaced “Asian” with the broader category of “POC.”
The same thing happens constantly in fanfiction with Shane.
A lot of writers portray Shane as being afraid to fight because he knows he’ll be judged more harshly than white players. I understand where that idea is coming from, but as a black person I’ve never found it particularly convincing.
If Shane were black, that analysis would make more sense to me. Black men are often stereotyped as aggressive, which means behavior that is considered acceptable from white athletes is often interpreted differently when black ones do it.
But asian men occupy a very different place in the racial imagination. They’re frequently stereotyped as passive, non-threatening, weak, nerdy, emasculated, etc. If racial stereotypes were influencing Shane’s approach to hockey, I could just as easily imagine the opposite dynamic: feeling pressure to prove he’s aggressive enough to belong. Maybe he’s fighting TOO much.
But that doesn’t make sense for Shane. He’s the league’s golden boy. He’s polite, media-friendly, and heavily inspired by Sidney Crosby. He’s a superstar. Fighting is often delegated to players lower on the depth chart whose role is specifically to provide physicality. Star players generally aren’t expected to be enforcers. Teams usually want their elite talent scoring goals, not sitting in the penalty box after dropping the gloves.
So Shane not fighting much doesn’t strike me as evidence of racial pressure. It strikes me as evidence that he’s Shane Hollander.
Crosby is a useful comparison here. For years, people mocked him for not being physical enough (and for talking to the refs too much). They questioned his toughness and masculinity. They called him “Crybaby Crosby” or “Cindy Crosby.” Fans edited photos of him in dresses or makeup. The criticism wasn’t really about hockey. The joke was that he wasn’t a “real man.”
And that’s a white player.
Imagine how much worse those conversations could become if the player in question were Asian.
That’s the kind of racial dynamic I could actually see affecting Shane, not him worrying about people thinking he’s too aggressive, but people questioning whether aggressive ENOUGH.
There’s a good chance that if Shane fought exactly like many white players, he probably still wouldn’t be viewed as tough enough. Meanwhile, if a Black player fought exactly like those same white players, he might be interpreted as more aggressive.
People often criticize Rachel for not doing much racial analysis in the books. But sometimes fandom fills that gap with racial analysis that feels disconnected from both hockey culture and the specific stereotypes that affect different racial groups.
Not every POC experience is interchangeable.
A stereotype that affects Black athletes is not automatically a stereotype that affects Asian athletes. A stereotype that affects Latino athletes is not automatically a stereotype that affects Indigenous athletes.
If we’re going to talk about race- and we should- we have to talk about the actual racial dynamics at play, not just substitute “person of color” for a more specific analysis.
Sometimes no racial analysis is better than bad racial analysis.

Two things this website hates and that’s women and gay people who are gay in the “I have sex with other gay people” way and not some sort of thinly defined yearning and homophobic joke based system largely applied to brothers and male coworkers in early 2000s television shows. Three things this website hates actually sorry silly me but this website does hate black people.
At what point are you guys going to stop scolding the trans woman for saying women. I’m not some other category. I’m a woman. This site hates women.
