my latest piece! 🐇 a commissioned drawing for Save The Buns 🤍 featuring rescued New Zealand white rabbits, an open cage, broken syringes and discarded lab equipment (such as awful rabbit restrainers)

Animal testing is completely outdated and morally reprehensible and ought to exist only as an ugly chapter in a history book 💉

Save The Buns, Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide adoption or sanctuary to rabbits used in animal testing. Additionally, they promote alternatives over the use of animals in testing and research 🐰

Wyatt Hayes noticing that notorious ladies man Ilya Rozanov added a fancy ring to his necklace:

i really am tickled by the idea of scott hunter being canonically only 3 yrs older than ilya and catching stray after stray for being old. yet also in my mind cliff is fully in his mid 30s when ilya is a rookie and whenever they get drunk together cliff gets emotional and is like “do you think im washed lil bro…..” and ilya is like “NO are you kidding me……you are stud…..just now in your prime…..”

Cliff wants to be a good bro and a good ally so when he and Ilya hang out to watch a movie, he decides they’re gonna watch a Gay Movie. And what is the one Gay Movie every straight guy knows? Brokeback Mountain. And what is the only thing straight guys know about Brokeback Mountain? That it’s the gay cowboy movie. And hey that sounds fun, cowboys are fun

Shane gets a text two hours later from Cliff that’s a picture of Ilya on the couch with his head down between his knees and he’s just like “HELP I BROKE HIM IM SORRY I DIDNT KNOW THEY BROKE UP AND THEN THE ONE GUY GOT HATECRIMED TO DEATH I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE GUNS AND TRAIN ROBBING”

i have a lot of thoughts on the matter but i will say that fandom moving from semi-private blogs and communities to extremely public and algorithm-driven social media was a huge mistake that has changed fandom culture for the worse

The night before Shane might win his third Stanley cup, Ilya sends him the clip of his Stanley cup win.

Confused, Shane immediately calls him.

"Is this some new and unique way to psych me out before the final, Rozanov? I didn't know you had money on Detroit."

"No, I am sending for a good reason," Ilya laughs. "I know it sucks for us that when you win all your team will be kissing their girlfriends and Pike will be making out all gross with Jackie, and we will not be able to. So, I wanted to show you exactly where I first kissed the cup. It was on the top, right over where it says Ottawa 1905, left of where it says 'Challenge Cup'. I remember because I did this on purpose. We weren't anything then, but I was thinking of you. I couldn't help thinking of you. So if you kiss the same place, it will be a little like we are sharing a kiss. And only we will know about it."

And Shane feels the air clean knocked out of his lungs and the back of his throat get tight, as he barely gets out, "Baby, that's... Thank you. I don't know what to say. I love you so fucking much. I'll make sure you see our kiss, okay?"

"I will be watching. I love you, My Shane. Go show the world why Shane Fucking Hollander is the goat, okay?"

On the night Shane wins his third Stanley Cup, he kisses their spot on the cup, thinking only of Ilya, and longs for a day where he can pull him onto the ice like Scott did with Kip.

On the night Shane wins his fourth Stanley cup, he hoists the cup into the air with his captain, they both kiss the same spot on the trophy, and then in front of the world, on his home ice, Shane Hollander kisses his husband, and it feels like a promise fulfilled.

Shane Hollander is

a fully grown big buff man with bulging thighs and ridiculous biceps, who plays a very violent sport professionally and can handle himself in a fight

small enough to fit in my pocket

Two things can be true at once.

yuna getting really lovely, thoughtful, sometimes extravagant mothers day and birthday gifts from ilya never really understanding why hes going through all this effort even if she does appreciate it and thinks hes so so sweet for it all, even after the boys tell her and david about ilyas mother and the irina foundation it doesnt fully click for a while. it only comes together on some random day, ilya has a game later that night and he’s had lunch with yuna and david planned for a while and he shows up with the good vodka david likes and this small package of candies that ilya hands to her very shyly for the first time probably in his life, definitely since shes known him, and he explains with shaking hands that they were his mama’s favorite, and it was her birthday today.

yuna feels her heart break a little bit when he tells her that she would have been younger than her, maybe too young for how old her children are considering he had an older brother, but he thought about his mama when he was happy in the hollander home, and wanted to share his mamas favorite candy with the woman who was mama to his favorite person in the world. like they got to meet, in a way. and yuna realizes very suddenly that he does the birthdays and mothers days for both her and irina because she is the closest thing he has to a mother, and she looks at him and realizes with it that he is in some ways still 12, finding his mother, and she has never met a little boy so tall and tired when she pulls him into a hug and doesnt let go till david suggests they get inside for lunch.

Kip Grady going to Boston U for grad school (one of the other schools he mentioned in canon looking at) - becomes friends with Ilya in the process (because Ilya has the kind of perceptiveness that he clearly catches where Scott's eyes go in the crowd every time the Admirals come to play in Boston- and Ilya catches glimpse of that guy in the crowd in an Admirals jersey at their rink - brave man- and decides this would be the best way to torment Scott Hunter just a little more to & instead ends up with a genuine friendship of his own)

And Kip Grady and Ilya Rozanov are menace4menace besties right off the bat They're almost always over at each other's apartments or going out to museums or clubs or shopping together. No one thinks they're a couple because they're literally just bros hanging out. In fact, Kip hangs out with a few of the Raiders - Cliff Marlow & Connors being the other two besides Ilya, but Ilya's definitely the one he's closest to.

And Kip knows for sure that Ilya is bisexual the same way that Ilya knows that Scott and Kip are not "just friends" and Kip's not just a "casual fan" who had run into Scott back when he was still in New York and carried the team loyalty with him to Boston (for one thing, Kip would have to actually know more about hockey for Ilya to be convinced he was ever a fan of the sport). So Kip's admits to having hooked up with one of the players on the Admirals before (but not which), and Ilya pretends he doesn't know - the same way Kip pretends that Ilya doesn't stare a bit too much at the ads that Shane Hollander is in.

And at first, Kip doesn't really mention to Scott that his new friends are professional hockey players, but Scott's very impressed that suddenly Kip understands more about the sport. He's a little confused about why Kip has a Raiders jersey in his closest (he really thought Kip meant like- university hockey players) and has apparently started going to hockey games that the Admirals aren't playing in (Ilya gets Kip tickets because he likes when his bestie's in the crowd).

And then when the Admirals are in Boston and Scott's getting to meet up at Kip's apartment for a hookup, he stays much longer than intended the next day - he can afford to book a late flight- and in waltzes Ilya who apparently has his own key with coffees and brunch and ready for gossip - because Scott was supposed to be gone-

And that's how everyone realizes that everyone (except Scott) knew everything from the start.
