my muse is a fucking bitch

Whatever floats my boat, I guess. Mid-twenties, she/her

Came to the conclusion while doing an Interview with the Vampire rewatch with my girlfriend that one of Louis and Lestat’s biggest issues is that Lestat is incredibly self aware but refuses to change while Louis isn't self aware at all and yet still insists on fixing everything

That was delicious. I genuinely don't think I've seen anyone line up those scene parallels so well before. This was a perfect snapshot of every branch, rock, and mattress they hit on their way down

This is the most insane edit I've ever seen.

[raincitygirl76]

This edit is wonderful. And uses a classic Annie Lennox track from back in her Eurythmics days. 10 out of 10, no notes.

[raincitygirl76]

Reblogging this edit again because it will be no less brilliant than it was the first time when it finally gets to the top of my very long queue.

Heated Rivalry studies

[scunthotter]

So as much as Ilya likes being domesticated, I cannot believe that man has given up clubbing. He's been a little clubrat since he was able to get in the door of Moscow clubs at way too young of age.

Ottawa has a fuckass nightlife but whenever they're in a city with good clubs Ilya goes out and drinks and dances and at the end of the night (the agreed upon negotiated time) Shane shows up and Ilya "picks him up" then they go back to the hotel for nasty hook up sex.

For Ilya this feels like having his cake and eating it too. He gets to be his sleazy clubrat self, then he gets to take home the hottest man in the club and have nasty sex with him, then he gets to end the night snuggled up in his husband's arms.

[bark-barkley]

sometimes the only explanation for what just happened is sex like it wasnt sex but narratively they just fucked we all saw it

[maybemauvemaybe]

do i even need to say it

[ticklefighthockey]

it’s a cherished part of my shane headcanons that shane thinks all the sex he’s having is normal and regular. he’s not kinky he’s not some kind of dangerous sex pervert he’s just a normal guy having normal sex with his hot boyfriend. and meanwhile ilya’s inwardly cracking up every time shane alludes to this because shane’s reinvented free use, pet play, ruined orgasms, and forced chastity in the last two weeks alone

HOLLANOV FIC REC

I have become obsessed with this genre of fic written in POVs that look at Shane and Ilya's relationship from the outside. Not only do they always bring such neat perspectives and juicy humour, but always a lot of heart. I've found this especially true with fics written specifically from Hayden's eyes. As the best friend of a guy who holds his cards close, his discovery journey's are often a fun and wild ride. 💖remember to kudos & comment on fics you read 💖

Outsider POV

🏒 911, Jackie speaking by camiii / @camiii - 6k “Jackie?” Shane’s question cuts through the silence, and Jackie winces at the frantic rasp of his voice. “Right here, honey.” She tries to keep her voice light, wrapping her hand around Hayden’s wrist and meeting his worried gaze over the phone. “What’s going on?” - Ilya is hurt, but the hospital will only talk to "Jane". zannithinks: what an absolute beauty of a story. Seeing the boys through Jackie's eyes was so special, shattering preconceptions, redefining the meaning of friendship, and highlighting the importance of the right to be there for the ones you love.

🏒 Maybe: Jane by anatomybygreys - 5k The Boston Raiders tease Rozanov about his mystery long distance girlfriend, sending Jane stories and embarrassing pictures of Ilya. Shane and Ilya don’t think much of it - until Theo Michaud gets traded to from Boston to Montreal and updates his contact list. zannithinks: this was perfection, a retroactively obvious but never seen before complication; featuring a lovely sense of team camaraderie and Ilya's attention-loving antics. Special nod to Hayden and Shane who are the definition of Subtle (yikes)

🏒 It’s Always Hollander and Rozanov, Right? by Internerdionality / @internerdionality - 5k Five times Scott Hunter thinks about Hollander and Rozanov together, and the one time he gets to watch. zannithinks: this is what we all secretly wanted! Scott clocking the boys, and liking what he sees more than he thinks he should. That final scene is soooo hot!

🏒 moments to be tolerated by thestarsarewinning - 3k There’s a muffled shout from next door. And another. Hollander, Luca thinks, and then wishes he hadn’t been able to tell. - five times the Centaurs hear Shane and Ilya having sex, and one time no one hears zannithinks: what a fun little ride through the trials and tribulations of having Shane and Ilya on your team, for better or for worse (RIP) those poor boys

🏒 Drunk and Disorderly by FireflyAlchemist - 3k “Wait, Mr. Raiders fan,” Rozanov calls. Constable Sullivan pauses. “I get a phone call, yes?” - Unable to do what he normally does after Montreal games, Ilya goes out to a club, gets super drunk, and ends up getting picked up by Montreal police for public intoxication. Sitting in a holding cell, the only number he can remember is Shane's. zannithinks: what a sweet character study of our favourite bad boy who's secretly a marshmallow. This ends with tooth-rotting sweetness!

🏒 you bottom feeder by heyy_jude - 2k He heard a rough grunt, and then Rozanov’s voice. “Get on your knees.” A muffled thump. Rozanov moaned appreciatively. - Scott Hunter overhears something he shouldn't have. He enjoys it a little too much. zannithinks: ok this is just a fun and fantastic consideration for everyone - Scott deserves more orgasms after all the grief these two give him!

🏒 The Elevator by Lexi_Leckstar - 1k Yuna shot up. “The elevator!” she screamed in horror. - Yuna wakes up the night after Shane and Ilya came out to them. zannithinks: what a funny little premise paired with a big squeeze to the heart from a mom just trying her best.

Hayden Pike POV

🏒 I Like Jane For You by Icopythefax / @exactphoify - 17k After a mix-up leaves Hayden with the wrong phone for three days, he ends up learning more about Ilya Rozanov and his secret girlfriend, Jane. zannithinks: you may notice I say that every fic is my favourite Hayden-discovery fic, but THIS ONE holds a truly special place in my heart. This legitimately had me on the floor unable to breathe through the entire range of human emotions. If you read any fic, it must be this one!

🏒 your good buddy lily by larry_larson / @larcenistarsonist - 17k of all things, hayden doesn't expect a t-shirt to be the thing that exposes it all zannithinks: oooh this one stands out for the way it touches on Hayden's complex emotions surrounding Shane, beyond friendship and into the intricacies of being celebrity athletes. A great look at what's beyond the mask of a supportive best friend, and it isn't always pretty. A standing ovation from me!

🏒 Hayden Gets The Message by KarsKars - 5k He hadn’t meant to look. Honest. He really hadn’t. But Shane was in the shower, and Hayden had picked up what he’d thought was HIS phone. - Hayden starts to put the pieces together and figures things out much sooner than expected. zannithinks: Hayden playing Sherlock Holmes is a kink of mine.

🏒 the other line by Anonymous - 5k Shane's not that subtle. - the phone call from Hayden's side. zannithinks: ok I love the turmoil in this one, and I actually love just how turned on Hayden gets from not only Shane's voice but knowing he's coming undone.

🏒 hayden pike v the ‘lily’ thing by goldengalaxies - 4k “Just hang up.” A very, very familiar Russian voice. What the fuck? Ilya goddamn Rozanov was with Shane, at the cottage. With Shane. - hayden has a long standing dislike for ‘lily’. a second phone call at the cottage makes him dislike lily even more zannithinks: this author has an entire series of outisder POVs focused around the discovery of hollanov, and honestly each one is fantastic! This one I particularly enjoyed for it's short scenes through the whole timeline and Hayden being a true Hater right from the beginning.

🏒 you his boyfriend or something? by ingberry - 2k Shane is at a sports bar in Tampa when people at his table start talking shit about Ilya. It becomes impossible to keep his mouth shut. - an alternative retelling of how Hayden finds out. zannithinks: Technically this isn't Hayden's POV, but... it's still mostly about our beloved best friend. The last few lines took me out at the knees.

🏒 take away the salt from your eyes by playinginthunderstorms / @playinginthunderstorms - 2k "Shane." "What," Shane snaps, yanking off his shirt. Then he freezes, holding onto it with both hands like he's only realized what he's been wearing, and says with equal vehemency, "Fuck," and flings it toward the headboard. "Fuck!" He says again, louder. - Shane gets back to his hotel room after running away from Ilya's place in Boston and panics. Hayden is also there. zannithinks: ok this has to be at the top of my list of Hayden discoveries. The dialogue, the mess of emotions, the authenticity in every word. love love love to see it!

Ilya Rozanov runs like a guy who runs to run

Shane Hollander runs like a guy who runs to cross train

Scott Hunter runs like a bat out of hell being chased by a ravenous hoard of his own personal demons

On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.

hey bestie i think ur post might be charmed 'cause you aren't gonna fuckin believe what happened today

[dragon-in-a-fez]

the thing that really cheeses my cake about flies getting in my house is they clearly don't want to be there anyway. like at least the ants trying to steal cereal from my pantry had a goal and a plan. you are just here because you're too stupid to use a window twice

for those who don’t remember, “mole interest” was an experiment I did 2 years ago because I wanted to test what causes tags to go trending on tumblr. My hypothesis was that all it takes is one (1) post blowing up in an established tag to make the entire tag trend.

I had randomly generated 2 words, which is where “mole interest” came from. I failed to consider that by generating a new tag, it wouldn’t have had enough posts already in it to prove what I now call “the mole interest effect”.

But now it does.

In 2023, we said “fuck it” a la mythbusters and ended up doing whatever it took to get #mole interest to trend. And it did. And it happened to be September 11th that day, and we managed to get #mole interest to trend ABOVE #9/11.

So, in the name of science, I ask you to reblog just this post. Let’s put the mole interest effect to the test.

tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it

[interpolationz]

this is one of my favorite bits about tumblr

the users seem to actually prefer text posts to anything else, and treat it as a chore to play a video especially with sound
