heated rivalry: endless gifs

thinking a lot about “what was your mother’s name?” and shane trying to learn more about their relationship…… shane asking ilya later, later, when they’re married, “what did your mother call you? did she have like, a nickname for you?” and ilya makes a little humming noise, his mouth tugged up at the corners, “ilyusha. is mostly — a childish nickname.” and shane tests it on his tongue — “ilyusha. it sounds sweet.” but ilya gives a little bitter laugh, says, “after she died, my father and brother used it as an insult. whenever they wanted me to feel small, they called me that.” he says it so devoid of emotion, so matter of factly, that for a moment, shane isn’t sure what to say. in the end, all he can manage is, “that’s awful. she called you that because she loved you.” ilya smiles softly, shrugs. “is fine, now. no one calls me that anymore, so. is okay.”

but shane can’t stop thinking about it. he rolls it around in his head, such a sweet name for such a sweet boy. that night, he has ilya sit across from him on the bed, tells him to stay still. shane’s looking at him intently, brow furrowed, the lines of his face drawn tight, he’s so focused. ilya’s half laughing when shane takes ilya’s face in his hands, —“so serious my love,”— but the amusement dies in his throat when shane presses a kiss to ilya’s forehead, murmurs ilyusha, so quietly at first he’s sure he’s only imagined it. but then shane moves to the right side of his face, ghosts a kiss against the shell of his ear, ilyusha. again, beneath his left eye, ilyusha. his nose, ilyusha. his trembling mouth, ilyusha. his name from another life, a past of burned bridges, a childhood cut short.

“it’s a good name,” shane tells him when they break apart, ilya’s face still cradled in the haven of his hands. “she loved you more than anything in the world,” shane whispers, ilya shaking, shaking, shaking, two warm hands on either side of his face holding him together. “and so do i, ilyusha.”

i need more of shane and ilya having a fucked up codependent devoted knight and prince dynamic on the ice and it's so out of place in the NHL but no one can really do anything . like it takes dykstra AND bood AND wiebe to hold shane back and keep him on the bench when ilya goes down after a dirty hit . someone tries to get a rise out of ilya by bringing his mother up and shane beats down on him so bad he gets a five game suspension . he takes a $10,000 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct after getting up in the refs face after he turns a blind eye to the slurs buffalo's left winger was throwing at ilya . that's his husband AND his captain and he does NOT play abt him

psst. "feminist" retelling writers. yes, i'm talking to you. i have a gift for you: here are some interesting women from greek mythology that you can write about that are NOT medusa, persephone or clytemnestra! there ARE other women, shocking i know!

-medea: she literally killed her brother and her children, i thought "female rage" girlies would be all over her

-danae: her life is so crazy, imagine being imprisoned by you father, getting impregnated by a god, being locked in a box and left to die at sea and then basically becoming a hostage to a king while your son is sent to kill a monster. and she's one of the only ones who, to my knowledge, actually gets a happy ending!

-atalanta: basically the only female hero in greek mythology!! and she was an argonaut!! c'mon now there is so much potential here, why does nobody care for atalanta

-the amazons: penthesilea! hippolyta! literally any of them! you're telling me there is a whole society of female warriors and so called feminist writers aren't jumping at the opportunity??

-hecuba: such a tragic and interesting figure, being the queen of troy, she lost her whole family in the war, i wish more people explored her relationship with her children (especially paris) and apollo

-andromache: i'm shocked andromache isn't more popular with the "tragic female characters" people, she literally lost everything basically because of men

-cassandra: i know cassandra is fairly popular, but i love her so much and i want more people to explore her relationship with her family, every dynamic has the possibility to be SO interesting

-electra: this whole family is a MESS and yet i see people mainly focusing on clytemnestra (with iphigenia), but not exploring the relationship between electra and clytemnestra is such a missed opportunity

-helen: i just want the focus of her story to be shifted from paris to the other people in her life, like her daughter hermione! how did they rebuild their relationship after troy? or her sister clytemnestra! what happened to her bond after the murder of agamemnon? or her brothers, castor and pollux! there is so much untapped potential

-demeter: there is a story about a mother's grief for her daughter, her journey looking for her, her anger, and yet every retelling of the homeric hymn to DEMETER focuses HADES to make him a dark romance mafia boss?? come on

and more!

conclusion: i'm tired of seeing the same stories being retold over and over again when there are so many characters to explore
