shane hollander x favorite daughter by lordeš©»
i love that shane's whole emotional experience of heated rivalry is just him being like why is he mean to me then nice to me then mean to me then nice to me then really nice to me then really mean to me then nice to me in a way that bewilders & disconcerts me so much it briefly turns me heterosexual. and then he's mean to me again. oh it's because he's scared. yay! i can work with scared. i intend to marry him
i feel like "man massively cuts foreign aid spending, resulting in hundreds of thousands fewer lives saved, is he a mass murderer?" is kind of an interesting thought experiment. but its really really bad it happened in real life. in real life its just very simply one of the worst things you could do in your life
i think it would be fun writing alive eccentric boymum irina who feels threatened by shane esp bc ilya kept something from her (shock!) for so many years... oooh... like she has this attitude of "i know my son sleeps around but it's because none of these women are good enough for him to commit to, i know, he tells me everything, i am always going to be the main woman in his life" and then it turns out not only has ilya been keeping this massive secret from her for years but he's suddenly VERY committed and to a man? and you know boy mums have weird ideas about gender so it really throws her off like oh my god. i didnt plan for this. i have all this internalised misogyny and now i cant direct it at my son's partner as planned.
and also she's threatened by the hollanders in general bc they are more functional than the rozanovs and she feels judged by them and worried that ilya loves them more than her... and maybe yuna and david DO judge her a bit especially before they know about her history (in this au she left grigori) and struggles but also i cant see them making that obvious
i think ilya and shane are so happy to organise a dinner where irina and the hollanders meet and it's a bit weirdly tense and ilya kinda has his eyes opened to some things about his mother that he thought were normal. and shane doesn't tell ilya this but next time he's alone with his parents he's like "okay just say it" and maybe yuna says something like "you know we love ilya but well meeting his mother well it makes some things about him make sense" and shane's like "how could you say that" but inside he's like "well they have a point" not that he'd ever admit that to anyone
also i like to imagine svetlana meeting shane and when they're alone for a minute being like "ilya is my family and i love irina but she did spend years convinced i was coming between her and her son. even when ilya and i weren't fucking. and we were 13. good luck."
i love some realistic family drama it must be said
and ill never go home again!!! place the call feel it start favorite friend!!!!!!! and nothings wrong when nothings true!!! i live in a hologram with you!!!!
do you ever think about ilya's face in that bit in the stairwell scene...
please read this even if you're not indian. especially if you're not indian.
you've seen the jokes. india is "dirty", indians are "everywhere", why don't they fix their own country. ok. let me tell you why, and what's happening right now while nobody's watching.
first, the history you skipped: britain ruled india for two centuries and drained it. economist utsa patnaik's research estimates around $45 trillion in today's money was taken. the india that got independence in 1947 was one of the poorest countries on earth. every "why is india like this" question starts there. you don't get to profit off a robbery and then mock the crime scene.
now, what's happening RIGHT NOW:
in may the question paper for NEET leaked. that's the national medical entrance exam. over 2.2 million students took it. cancelled. years of studying, families' savings poured into coaching, gone overnight because someone sold the paper. students died by suicide after. these were kids who wanted to be doctors.
and out of that came a protest movement. a gen z group called the cockroach janta party, started by a 30 year old named abhijeet dipke, got 22 million instagram followers within DAYS. they've been doing a sit-in at jantar mantar in delhi demanding education minister dharmendra pradhan resign.
and then there's sonam wangchuk. if you've watched 3 idiots, he's the real engineer the character was based on. built solar schools in ladakh. invented ice stupas so himalayan villages have water. spent his whole life on education. he's 59 and he's been on hunger strike for 17+ days now. reporters went to see him this week and he was too weak to talk. and the troll armies are calling him "anti national" and "foreign funded". a man starving himself for other people's children. that's the thing here, anyone who asks a question is suddenly a traitor.
it's not one incident, it's everywhere you look:
⢠infrastructure worth thousands of crores failing within months of the ribbon cutting. tunnels collapsing in regions where heavy rain is a guarantee, not a surprise.
⢠youth unemployment near 10% for ages 15 to 29, 13.6% in cities. in a country of 1.42 billion where more than half the population is young.
⢠only about the top 3% of indians earn above 10 lakh a year. meanwhile billionaire wealth keeps ballooning and the headlines celebrate it.
⢠manipur burned for over two years. an ethnic conflict, tens of thousands displaced, and the prime minister barely said the word manipur while it happened.
⢠journalists raided. critics' houses bulldozed. activists sitting in jail for years without trial under laws like UAPA. our press freedom ranking has cratered.
⢠even the petrol is a fight now, ethanol blending pushed through while drivers complain about their engines and get no straight answers.
and through all of it, the PM, who came to power on religious polarisation (americans, sound familiar?), travels abroad for photo ops and has not held one single open press conference in over a decade. not one.
what i'm asking:
if you're not indian: share this. our media mostly won't cover any of it because the big outlets are owned by the same billionaires the government serves. the only reason wangchuk's fast is getting any coverage is people refusing to look away.
if you ARE indian: speak up even if you're comfortable. especially if you're comfortable. join the protests. add to this, correct me, translate it. staying quiet is a choice when nothing in this post touches your life.
india is not "dirty". india was robbed, and it's being robbed again, from the inside this time. but it's also the country where a 59 year old will starve for strangers' kids and 22 million young people will rally behind a party literally named after cockroaches, because cockroaches survive everything.
we can still save her. but only loudly.
reblog. share. don't scroll past.
Decisions, Decisions

Shane doesn't love making decisions. Ilya does. Isn't that convenient?

Ok I watched the second video of Connor dancing and like
I am just thinking about playful silly Ilya. Like this boy has sooo much whimsy but heās always been so grounded in sadness and seriousness from when he was a kid, his fathers strictness, loosing his mother, her sadness- the grief, and then trying to get out make it in hockey and be free, grounded by all his coping mechanisms and depression and his brother and so much responsibility all the time on his shoulders.
And like finally with Shane he can be a little boy again sometimes, he can silly and stupid and carefree and playful. Like I think of the Ilya we saw with svetlana when he playfights with her on his bed, these little glimpses we see but then when heās finally out with Shane, his husband, living together playing hockey and heās loved and supported heās even more free, he has this lightness this ability to be so loose and silly. The ability to be feminine and expressive and flirty while still being the big bad hockey player he is. He gets to be all of it.
I can imagine Ilyas had a couple glasses of wine with dinner, Shane has too because he does now, even in the season, when Ilya is being extra sweet on him about it- making up some anniversary that doesnāt really exist- āoh Shane itās the anniversary of the first time we held handsā āour first kissā āthe first time you winked at meā and insistence of celebrating (and Shane knows, knows the heās just making it up so Ilya can convince Shane to order takeout from the place he wants and they need red wine because itās romantic and itās stupid but it makes Ilya so happy, every time, and Shane canāt help wanting to make Ilya happy any chance he has to so he kind of canāt not play along with him). So theyāve have had a few glasses of wine and Thai food and they are sprawled out on the big plush rug in the living room, music coming from the homes speaker system, on the rug (glasses of red wine safely on the coffee table out of reach because Shane is tipsy but he is not letting this rug get stained again) because theyād gotten into an argument about who could do more pushups in a row and that had turned into having to settle it because itās them and they are so competitive, even now.
So they are on the rug and Shane is half curled on his side, shirt tucked up around his hip from how heād flopped down, pouting in defeat because Ilya had gotten him (by two and heās seen the shake in Ilyas arms after so itās basically a tie) Ilya is leant back on his hands, bare legs sprawled out in front of him, in shorts far too small for the middle of winter (for the rain pelting down on the windows of the home, the roof) heās in some big cosy hoodie to compensate and his hair is still drying in itās pretty ringlets from the shower. Heās so handsome and Shane is red wine horny, a happy pretty throb in his lower stomach and toes and wrists. (He can feel it, the draw of their sex later in the way Ilya is watching him, had served up his plate of food for him, sat with his hand on the back of Shaneās neck through most of dinner, the way Ilya had stacked the dishwasher for him before they spilled onto the couch to finish the wine).
Anyway heās so handsome and breathless from the pushups and leaning back by Shaneās feet and his husband is so gorgeous and his and he smiles and watches Ilya as he scrolls on his phone, no doubt bragging about his physical prowess on the teams group chat. He rolls more onto his back, lets his legs part and rubs his socked foot in little circles against the rug, bites into his bottom lip and just waits for Ilyas attention to come back to him because it always does, and catches his fill, watching Ilya his gorgeous boy soft and cosy in their house on their way to wine drunk, watching him happy and warm and his his his and he has loved him since he was seventeen and his shoulders were more slight, the skin by his eyes unwrinkled, and he loves him even more, shoulders filled out and their laughter marked by his blue eyes.
Shaneās chest squeezes with the ache of affection, and he thinks about crawling into Ilyas lap, watching the surprisedhappyhornylonging look chest grow in Ilyas eyes. He thinks about tackling him down onto his back and biting at Ilyas neck and poking his fingers into his sides until Ilya has enough and pins him. He thinks about crawling between Ilyas legs, pushing them open further to make room and pressing his face to Ilyas crotch and breathing him in, getting his guard down and shoving his face under Ilyas hoodie to blow a raspberry on his stomach instead, hear the squeal of Ilyas laughter, loud and bright and booming and warm and his his his, his boy his man the love of his life.
Shane thinks heās had too much wine, and lets himself flop back onto the carpet, loose limbed with slow deep breaths. He thinks heāll let Ilya come to him instead, likes knowing Ilya will, come to him, look for his body with hungry hands and mouth because heās never stopped being hungry for shane. Shane thinks about Ilya crawling over him and getting his hands all over Ilyas thighs, his strong legs have been distracting him all afternoon, he wants to suck marks into them. He will, he decides.
But then the music kicks up- louder than it has been all night, half way through a song and a happy gasp from Ilya and Shane props himself up on his elbows, eyes on Ilya. āI love this songā he beams, phone now abandoned behind him. And then heās performing, lip syncing and grinning and ? Gyrating? And Shane is giggling, heās hard and he canāt look away, he watches and goes hot from his head to his toes and thinks of stone faced walls up teenaged Ilya of angry sad Ilya in his twenties and watches Ilyas face open and happy and warm and bright bright bright and thatās his baby, spinning and dancing and radiant. Thatās his man the muscles of his thighs shifting and strong and delicate and the body of a fucking athlete. His expressions bright and emotional and over the top and he is breathless with the energy heās putting in, pauses to laugh as he shifts to be on his knees, paused for a second to swipe the back his hand over his mouth. Heās so fucking pretty and so fucking hot and Shane loves him so fucking much.
Then one knee rises his hand goes down onto the carpet in front of him and Shane is laughing like a little kid, his cheeks ache from him and he wants his husband so bad he feels dizzy for it, feels clammy handed like the first time before he ever touched Ilya, ever had him like this and then Ilya is crawling towards him, dark eyes, wolf smile, mouthing āyou know Iāll take you thereā as he brings his body over him, warm warm warm bright bright bright and kisses wine tannins and the taste of berries and the rest of life hot and wet into his mouth.
