Head canon
Ilya turns off his Find My Friend location and Shane gets paranoid when he notices and works up the courage to ask why in the most nonchalant-i trust my boyfriend-he used to be a playboy but he swears he's monogamous now-i can be chill about this kind of way and Ilya is forced to admit that it's because he didn't want Shane to know how often he goes to McDonald's.
Shane says this is worse than cheating.
Harris starts a new trend called “Hot Takes with Hollander” and it’s just random candid clips of things Shane Hollander believes wholeheartedly (ft. centaurs)
— —
“man, i can’t wait for thanksgiving! what pie is your favourite, hollzy?”
“fruit should not be hot” (walks off screen)
— —
“hey, has anyone seen my toothbrush? it’s purple” (rookie panicking, looking through his bag)
“why the fuck would you have a purple toothbrush?! that’s just fucked up”
“wh-what..?” (absolute look of confused hurt)
“the only acceptable colours for a toothbrush is blue or green. don’t worry - when we land, i’ll get you a new one” (deadpan as hell)
“…thanks hollzy”
“no problem, rook”
— —
“now who in their right mind would drink fanta lemon when the regular fanta exists? what the fuck ilya?!” (husband hollzy organising the fridge)
“i like it”
“well…okay baby, but keep it away from my ginger ale. they go on separate shelves - here i’ll show you” (video cuts out)
Imagine someone on the Centaurs going to Shane like “Rozanov just said I suck” to tattle on him and Shane responding with something 10x more devastating about their skills issue
Ilya may be an asshole, but Shane "have you considered being better at hockey?" Hollander will destroy your whole life with how little he cares about your ego.
I 100% think that at some point someone (Troy?) told the rookies/younger Cens players that if they were "real" allies they'd kiss boys just to be sure.
Cue like, all of the Cens rookies/younger players discovering they're bi/pan/gay/queer and Troy having to explain to Ilya that it was a joke no he didn't purposefully make them have gay awakenings he thought it was harmless!
Ilya is losing it and trying not to, Shane is trying to figure out if Troy was trying to haze the rookies/younger players, Scott is getting updates and has discovered that this "ally proof" has spread to his rookies and beyond.
It gets to Boston and Marleau just drags everyone to a gay bar and sets them loose to see what happens.
i hope we all understand how quintessentially them it is that when yuna asks if shane and ilya have been in love since their rookie season, they both immediately go “no. no no no no no” with disgusted faces on
i love the “hollanov has a crush on carter vaughn” take not necessarily in a “i think they would invite him to watch” way but more in a “ilya would accidentally let it slip while chirping at shane to fluster him that vaughn is at the top of their ‘would’ list and vaughn is a little thrown off and straight so he’s like “are you guys asking?” and ilya laughs and pats his shoulder and assures him “absolutely not, i do not share my shane, we just think you are good looking man, i like that you are pretty and fun and my shane likes that you are serious about hockey and have good grooming habits. is not serious, do not worry vaughny we will not be asking you to witness me and my beautiful husband ever” and vaughn low key is overjoyed about it, his teammates who are around and hear the exchange are sometimes like “that doesnt bother you? you dont find that a bit weird?” but vaugh genuinely is just like “rozanov just called me pretty and fun enough to hang out with and hollander thinks im good at hockey and clean enough for him, you could hand me a nobel peace prize and it wouldnt come close to this achievement” and eventually it gets out to the general public so vaughn is captioning his instagram posts shit like “#1 contender for being the hockey husbands third goes fishing” despite shanes mortification about this getting out and vaughns clear delight with it” way
Heated Rivalry, p. 75
Happy pride to those 5 seconds where Charlie Swan thought Jacob was coming out to him in the most insane way possible
Unfortunately Hudson Williams committed several grave sins to the internet:
Masculanized an Asian character
Became a heartthrob as a POC
Gave an award-winning performance for a neurodivergent character
Is dating a woman after playing a gay man
Gets just as much praise as his white costar
Doesn't censor himself to fit in
IS AN ASIAN MAN WHO HAS PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD SO DIABOLICALLY DOWN BAD FOR HIM
“You can come out to your parents without giving them a list of all the guys you’re fucking,” says Ilya Rozanov, way too confidently for a man who has never actually met Yuna Hollander, who will Definitely Ask,
oh, shane, you are dating someone!! this is great!! can we meet him? (no) can you tell us his name or what he does for a living? (no) can you tell us what city or even country he lives in? (no) can we see a picture? (no) does he have social media? (no) so.... shane, honey, it kind of sounds like you don't have a boyfriend (yes I do, he lives in… some other part of canada, you don't know him) and maybe you're just saying that because you're not ready to date, but honey, you should date! I have a list of men here, I have a plan to get you a boyfriend, I have the NDA forms right here, we'll get you a raya account… (no!!! mom, I do have someone already, I just can't tell you anything about him, ever)
yuna: ah I see, hmm, one moment please, let me bring up an alphabetical list of all 700+ current MLH players. is it aaron a. aaronson???
shane: of course not!! mom!!!
yuna: you know what, of course not, I'm sorry and it was ridiculous of me to even think so. aaron a. aaronson is a second-rate player on a third-rate team, let me re-sort this list so that the stat leaders are at the top and start again from there, haha, here's a funny one to cross off the list right away, I guess: is it ilya rozanov???
I’m obsessed with the idea of Shane figuring out he can use his big beautiful doe eyes to get anything he wants.
He just widens his eyes, makes them a bit glassy and Ilya folds like a damn chair.
After a while Ilya figures out what he’s doing and screws his eyes shut to avoid looking at Shane.
Ilya: no Shane no I know what you’re doing, put your eyes away. You will not use your wicked spells on me today
Shane: Ilya will you just look at me please
Ilya always ends up looking at Shane because he can’t resist him and Shane gets his way every single darn time.
anyway good morning a crucial tenet of hollanov’s relationship is that they’re equals and they’re the only people in the world who could ever be each other’s equal. they were supposed to stand alone at the top but they’re there together. shane does not view ilya as a lazy useless inconvenience. ilya does not view shane as a nagging killjoy. they are equals and they both think the other is the best thing since sliced bread and they love each other but more importantly they LIKE each other. stop making them not like each other!
like ilya spends his entire life being told (by people objectively shittier than he is) that he’s not good enough, he’s lazy, he’s undisciplined, he lets people down. and then he meets the one person who would actually be in a position to assess whether ilya is any of those things, and shane just earnestly looks into his fucking soul and says no, they were wrong. ‘you’re an awesome player to watch’ ‘i don’t know that side of you at all’ ‘this isn’t what this is. me and you’
and it’s such a fucking tragedy that people are trying to push MyIlya back into a setting where he’s constantly being lectured about his inadequacies by the very person that canonically reminds him all the time that those inadequacies were figments of his dad’s imagination
