Hi I've been raised from the dead by a new ice gay show how is everyone else doing

[aslongasitsblack]

this specific frame is so important to me like … they were boys together lowkey …

[myteavsricochet]

crying because you let go of all the pain you've been holding on to because the person you love loves you back and you can finally breath

[charlielovesbuffy]

broke: Connor and Hudson are the exact opposite of their characters

woke: Connor and Hudson are who their characters are inside; Ilya is secretly a big tender softie and Shane is secretly a giant freak

shane hollander is so pretty I wish canadians were real

[eugeniedanglars]

i like this show in a cool ironic detached intellectual way btw

[themoonandmyman]

Ilya Rozanov showing up in pretty much every book like a wise bisexual wizard

[cloudabserk]

he was bracing himself for bad news

[argillaforma]

i could talk about the difference in how shane and ilya cries forever

with shane we never really see the tears leave his eyes, they're always just quietly lingering. like with everything shane's big emotions are happening inside him while he looks very controlled on the outside. he never acknowledges that he cries and you could easily miss it if you don't pay attention, he just quietly sits with the emotions until it's over

ilya is a different story because he tries so hard not to show any vulnerability, but he has has his walls up for so long so when they finally break down, there's no way to hide it. the dam breaks and the tears flow freely because there's simply no way to control it. and the way he looks away when he feels it to try and gain back some control and because he doesn't want anyone to see him like that ohhh my godd

this is what I feel anytime ginger ale is brought up lowk…like no I’m not going to sit back and accept it was just a little nuance in the grand scheme of things?!

Delusional Ginger Ale Case Study ->

At some point Ilya added this to his shopping list, and stocks his fridge with it (the only reasonable assumption is he thought about Shane and what he not only liked, but how he fit into his home) — this drink is metaphorical — it stands for how much Shane is considered and therefore catered to, it stands for the ‘I love you’ Ilya hasn’t said. But even more than that, it’s not only a ILY but a: I remember you, I care about you, I think about you, I consider you.

so that’s why I think Shane leaving in that specific moment and freaking out, just proves to Ilya that he shouldn’t be striving for this domesticity and shuts down these thoughts of Shane being anything other than a fuck buddy……..

Bloodbath

i heard snoopy x shane agenda and immediately signed to the cause

[evanactually]

I’m obsessed with the way Ilya prompts Shane to touch him and grab on to him as he’s panicking. Grounding him. It’s so soft and gentle.

How are we feeling, chat?

“Yuna Hollander POV” this, “Imagine you’re Yuna Hollander” that… Valid, valid. But let’s shine a glorious light on DAVID Hollander for a minute.

Imagine you’ve spent most of your son’s teen and adult life supporting the hell out of him and your wife as they jointly steer his career into the astral plane of international hockey stardom. You’re so proud of him, but you also worry that the focus of his life may be too narrow. You gently encourage him to smell the roses - go down Youtube rabbit holes (whatever those are), take a holiday to London, maybe even date? After years of only surface-level relationships, he develops a true friend in Hayden Pike, and you breathe a sigh of relief. He shows an interest in real estate and design, and you’re delighted to encourage him.

You’re thrilled when he gets a girlfriend after so many years alone. When they seem to break up but remain on good terms, this fuels your growing suspicion that he might be gay. Then Scott Hunter kisses his boyfriend on the ice. Shane immediately takes a call and comes back with a giddy smile on his face. That’s really all the confirmation you need.

You gently break this to Yuna (I love how the show changes that “we know you pretty well, Shane” line from her to him, because it matches characterisation they’ve added to David as an insightful father and husband). Yuna immediately wants to talk to Shane about it & make contingency plans for how it might affect his life & career if true, because she loves her kid & wants to cover all bases ASAP, but you talk her down. “Let him come to us,” you say.

Shane tells you he’s doing a silent retreat for his time off this year, but you need to charge your phone, and it’ll be good to check in on him (you always worry about him being too isolated, too lonely). So you head over only to be… well, astonished to see him kissing his arch-rival with an easy familiarity. Shit, shit, you should NOT be here. You panic & leave - let him come to you (Shane’s flight response is also inherited).

Just as you and Yuna are discussing whether you should go back to the cottage, he does come over. With Rozanov. You’re a bit shellshocked, and the whole thing is awkward as hell at first, but also… Rosanov looks at your son like he hung the moon, talks him down from a panic attack, and it turns out they’ve been doing this for almost ten years. The same ten years that you spent encouraging Shane to pursue happiness and live a full life. Of course it breaks your heart that he felt like he had to do it in secret, but he still did it.

That’s your boy.
