i think many ppl still dont understand the concept of simon's magic and question, just like him, whether he was magical or not. simon was born from a ritual designed by davy and his obsession with the prophecy of the chosen one, and simon was indeed born the most powerful being in years. his birth was an anomaly and canonically shook the world of mages, with the first dead spot appearing the moment he was born. so the simple explanation for everything is that the induced birth of such a powerful creature was not natural, and thats why he brought so much destruction, bc so much magic wasnt normal and needed to come from somewhere for him to use it. simon was indeed magical, especially since he is the son of two sorcerers, but his enormous level of magic was induced by davy's rituals, and the universe simply demanded it back, bc no one could have so much magic, it wasnt natural.
thats why simon is both the good and the evil of the prophecy at the same time, his existence brought evil, but he himself was the savior of all. he was the chosen one.
Cosign!
hard launch this, soft launch that...has anyone written hollanov going full gaslighting with their coming out? just straight up going "we've been together for years? why are you acting like this is news?"
double points if they don't even plan to do it. they decide to soft launch via no longer actively hiding their relationship, just slowly acting more like a couple around other people. they're both at some event and ilya finds shane and just wraps his arm across his shoulders, which maybe that could just be ilya being ilya, but then shane just leans into it? like this is fine and normal? and when someone questions it shane panics and is just like "why wouldn't i? he's my boyfriend" and whoever they're talking to is like "what? since when?" and ilya is immediately onboard with this game "since 2017."
they just keep doubling down "you don't remember me sneaking out to go visit him every time we played in boston? you were all chirping me about it."
"wait, did you two drive here together?" "why would we take separate cars, we live together?" "you WHAT?"
when someone thinks they're joking they bring up the group chat with shane's parents, ilya scrolls back to a text where yuna calls him her favorite son. they bring up a video clip jackie sent of the twins saying "we love you uncle ilya!" shane brings up his thread with svetlana where she sends him russian words and phrases she thinks he should know.
they quickly enlist everyone who already knew, get them all onboard to pretend like their relationship wasn't ever top secret information. shane posts a picture of him with anya, when someone comments "that looks just like ilya rozanov's dog?" he just replies "yeah, we adopted her several months ago" and ilya replies "love our daughter ❤️"
the more people act like this is revelatory news the more they inisist that it's not. "we started a charity together!" "i moved to canada for him!" meanwhile everyone else is slowly losing their minds.
okay but ilya and cliff being besties but ilya rooming with connors during the club episode makes me laugh because i'm just imagining him being such a demon to everyone that they had to put being his roomie on ROTATION
"SOS IT'S A SHIRTLESS AND YELLING NIGHT. I REPEAT. IT'S A SHIRTLESS AND YELLING NIGHT."
Home Sweet Home 🌃🌙
ilya at their first hookup: it's his first time so i'll go slow, i'll just stroke his dick for now, nothing crazy
shane: hey so i'm gonna need to put your dick in my mouth right now actually yes it is life or death
"i just don't like masculine women" literally i'm so sorry for you loss. i hope you get well soon
thanks google
there's 👏 still 👏 time 👏

One thing about the Hollander men; if you hit them with a social situation they don't know how to react to, they will straight up leave ✌️
call that the Hollander Goodbye
thoughts and prayers to ilya, who is marrying into a family of flight risks 🙏
Sleepy boys 💤
i feel like after hollanov goes public they absolutely get asked who bottoms, and while shane has a perfectly professional “that is a deeply personal question and i would prefer my relationship not be boiled down to cheap stereotypes” statement prepared (if he even dignifies them with a response), ilya just says shit like “is me, i am bottom, love to get dicked down by hollander, what you don’t think big tough russian can take it like a man?” and nobody quite knows if he’s kidding or not
The Metros absolutely crush Buffalo, and Shane's phone get's broken in the post-game locker room celebration chaos.
He is Freaking Out bc he doesn't actually know what Ilya's phone number is. His SIM card got crushed underneath a pair skates, so there's no recovering "Lily's" contact card.
On top of that, his old Ottowa number won't transfer to his Montreal provider. So "Lily's" texts will now be delivered into the ether. Or to some random person's phone if his old Ottowa number gets given out again.
Ilya of course has literally no idea this has happened and is sending his usual flirtatious messages to...silence. No response. He's not even getting left on read. Because the messages aren't even getting read. He goes through the five stages of grief. Fuck Shane Hollander, he doesn't need this shit. They're supposed to play against each other Tomorrow for fucks sake. His resolve lasts for about....two hours? And then he's on social media. What's this fucking asshole up to that he can't even read Ilya's texts?
He pulls up the first interview, the one right after Buffalo. Shane looks....really stressed out. Which is confusing given that they've just won.
"Yes of course I am super happy to win. Unfortunately the locker room celebration did get a little out of hand though."
He holds up his mangled phone.
"So if you're trying to contact me, sorry about that!"
He's blushing and smiling and seems so flustered and embarrassed. He's looking at a camera, millions of people can hear him, but he's speaking directly to Ilya. Ilya's face breaks out into his "you have a stylist?" smile. He feels....a little embarrassed about his crashout, but also super fucking relieved. Ilya swipes through a couple more videos and watches the most recent interview.
"We are absolutely looking forward to facing off against the Raiders. Also I brought this up last time but, turns out I can't keep my old phone number. So if you're texting me and I'm not responding, it's because I can't!"
He laughs, but it seemd a bit forced. Like he might tear up if he gets pushed the wrong way. Ilya goes back and watches through all the interviews since the Buffalo game. Shane has found a way to bring up his broken phone in every single interview for the past two weeks. It's so sweet...and also a little heartbreaking. He knew exactly what was gonna happen, and was terrified of Ilya thinking that he didn't want to talk to him. He didn't want Ilya to feel alone and confused and upset. He's so fucking ernest and endearing.
Ilya cannot Wait to give him shit about it on the ice tomorrow.
Is the scene with her tied up in the woods supposed to be hot or am I insane and ontologically evil
Yes its hot on purpose and yes I want to be tied up and I support ontologically evil women
Headcanon that Ilya not so secretly loves it when Shane has stubble. He becomes extra kissy when Shane hasn’t shaved and Shane doesn’t put two and two together because for his, stubble is a textural nightmare.
short comic about what ilya did after shane left in episode 4
Shane and Ilya honeymoon in Antibes but spend a weekend in Monaco during that time, Ilya losing his mind over the Grand Prix track, telling Shane about moments from races he's watched. Everything he says essentially translates to "this is where they do the vroom vroom" in Shane's head but Ilya just looks so goddamn excited that Shane could listen to him talk about it for hours. They walk along the harbour, past the yachts and Ilya points to the largest and most obscene ones, promising/threatening to buy one just like that once they've retired. They go to the Monte-Carlo casino and Ilya loses more money than Shane cares to know but he's grinning when they leave so it was probably worth it. They buy obscenely overpriced drinks at the casino café, sitting outside, people watching. They go to the Metropole Monte Carlo shopping gallery and Shane marvels at the huge crystal chandeliers. They stroll along the Jardins de la Petite Afrique and Princess Grace's Japanese Garden and enjoy the sunshine and each other's company. Throughout the day, Ilya points at various luxury sports cars as they drive past, saying things like "I want that one," "that one sucks," and "buy me that one in green for my birthday, please." They stay at the Hotel Hermitage Monte-Carlo in a truly ridiculous suite with an ocean view and Ilya fucks Shane against the window, both of them slightly sunburnt and tired but so lost in each other that it doesn't even register until they crawl into bed and fall asleep in each other's arms.
