saw someone say grace had dogs on his cardigan bc of laika the space dog, patron saint of one way trips, because he was never supposed to make it back to earth, oh I'm sick

[ilya-sweetheart]

someone overhears ilya threatening shane with releasing an incriminating photo and the whole league and twitter goes wild because this is blackmail !!

so shane has to post the photo himself to prove that no, boston captain ilya rozanov does not have any evidence or incriminating documents on shane hollander

instead it’s a picture of canadas golden boy hungover eating mcdonald’s for breakfast flipping off the camera wearing a raiders hoodie

[puppydogwhitaker]

this was all about how necessary community is.

that elderly man going to the ER because samira is a friend to him. the obese man who lives alone tearing up at genuine human kindness and acceptance. digby being someone who can mourn louie when he seemed so alone. the hospice patient being able to relax once her parents show up. the college student’s parents being able to accept help from someone that looks like them who’s gone through the same thing.

they keep reiterating how you can’t get through things alone. the jewish community needs muslims, the doctors need pharmacists, dana needs robby. there’s all these macro and micro interactions that enforce this thesis. there are cultural, structural, professional, communal, and interpersonal vectors of support that are so necessary.

these doctors understand this truth deeply, they see the evidence of it daily. but every single one of these doctors is isolated. samira isn’t moving back to new jersey, robby is leaving for canada, dennis leaves for the farm, garcia denies trinity’s company. physician heal thyself, huh?

One of my favourite things about hyper-competent power couples is seeing why they're so good at what they do, especially when they have different skill sets.

Shane is a technical strategist. He's playing hockey while also playing 3d chess. He analyzes formations and plays. His strengths are pattern recognition and comprehensive familiarity with the players, coaches, and teams. He can predict their next moves.

Ilya is a psychological strategist. He knows the fans in different cities, how to work the crowd, the atmosphere in the rink. He knows how to get under players' skins, to goad them into mistakes and penalties, to make them second-guess and hesitate. He understands people.

The reason they become so terrifying together is that these are complementary strengths.

Ilya knows the players. Shane knows the plays.

jacob tierney gave us a voicemail.

“hey, this is ilya, i will never listen to your voicemail”.

and it has just hit me like a freight train how devastating that specific wording will sound, when a certain shane is desperate to contact his boyfriend during a certain event in the long game (season 2).

jacob you’re a genius and i love your emotionally destructive mind

How Shane vs Ilya talk about the other (they are in love)

[lavenderprose]

I know we’ve talked about this before but the retroactive realization for Shane Hollander that Ilya has been his future husband the entire time must have sent that boy spinning. What do you mean I introduced myself to my future husband. What do you mean my husband was there standing beside me the day I got drafted. What do you mean I jerked off to thoughts of my husband on the most important day of my entire life up to then. What do you mean my husband took my virginity. My husband and I watched each other grow up. My husband and I fell in love for the first time together. My husband was my first ex. My husband has been the most consistent, sensual, irritating, understanding, solid, loving presence in my entire life. Since I became a man, the thoughts I have reached for to comfort myself or bring myself pleasure have been those of my husband. I memorized the moles on my future husband’s body before I fully understood the wants and needs of my own. My husband taught me how to pleasure a man by pleasuring me. The first person I willingly came out to was my husband. My friends have NEVER known me at a time in my life when I was not in love with my husband.

[aint-been-in-vain-for-nuthin]

Yuna Hollander has waited her whole life to spoil whoever Shane brings home and when it's a person who is involved in her special interest AND has no family she goes absolutely FERAL

[sickness-health-all-that-shit]

nobody knows who Shane and Ilya really are (insp.)

[academicblorbo]

Ilya meeting Shane's parents must be insane for them like. Mr Ilya "The Terminator" Rozanov, terror on ice and menace in bed, politely stands there. Your very shy son admonishes him for using the word "lovers" and Russia's Greatest Rage Machine just takes it.

You ask when this started and Mister Dickhead makes sure Shane is accurate about when they started this. How dare you stave off half a year of us, Shane?

You ask if they talked to Scott Hunter and Ra Ra Rasputin says that he, famous asshole extraordinaire went to talk to Patron Saint of Hockey Gays to offer him congratulations.

You ask if he has no loyalty to Boston and Mr Fucking Fuck San Francisco is like. Nyet

Your son is having a panic attack and Miike Snow Genghis Khan calls them "boyfriends" and it's your own extremely shy and sensitive and loving son that is like MY WHAT

In Mockingjay, Katniss’s squad was called squad 451. Like the book Fahrenheit 451°.

Plutarch Heaveansbee, the man who had a huge ass library, and libraries were considered RARE, named them after a book about censorship.

Plutarch is such an interesting character, the fact that he was trying to stop the games for at LEAST 25 years. And he was so devoted it makes you wonder why he even cared.

[i-enjoy-too-many-things]

My interpretation of Plutarchs character in SOTR is that he is a commentary on how freeing education and access to culture really is.

He mentions how reading is a rare pastime in the Capitol, and as Haymitch sugests books are an even rarer. No doubt this is intentional: a population that has been deprived of information, of "dangerous" ideas of social justice and freedom, that is unaware of the mere possibilty of an existence that doesn't involve opression, is easier to control, to manipulate. It makes them more susceptible to propaganda.

Plutarch, however, has an extensive collection of books, no doubt some of the "dangerous" ones aswell. And despite being one of the most privilleged people even within the capitol, he is fighting to desmantle the very system that benefits him.

His access of culture and information give him the rare advantage of different perspectives, and therefore, the freedom of knowing that things don't have to be like this forever.

[getmethefuckouttahere]

I just know coriolanus was sweating and pissing himself when he saw all of them, the most rebellious and dangerous victors, holding hands and standing in solidarity. He had NO IDEA what he had just done

Sotr made this scene even more meaningful for me 😭 I hope the bastard was scared for his life

[aurora-sadprose]

something so poetic about maysilee saying if she escapes the Capitol she’ll give her mockingjay pin another chance. Little did she know, Capitol and Snow would get what they deserved and she and her pin would be part of it all. Goodbye, Maysilee Donner. You were part of the fire that melted the snow.

[dxnyarya]

do you know how miserable and tragic your life has to be to say that katniss everdeen is luckier than you and be correct

[naegiribian]

snow’s “I hate mockingjays because they exist despite the capitol’s intent” and maysilee’s “I hate mockingjays because they’re part mutt and I dont want anything that has to do with the capitol” and haymich’s “I think they’re resilient and stand for surviving against all odds” and katniss’s “mockingjays remind me of my father and the other district 12 tributes before me and though they mean resistance to others, nobody can take that away from me” which brings us back to lucy gray’s “nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping”

[ocularmacdown]

everybody say "thank you superman 2025 for bringing truly irredeemable villains back with lex luther!"

he is a cold blooded killer. he has pathetic tantrums and throws pens on the floor. he only wears black. he delivers a fantasically evil villain monologue. he cries pathetically when beaten. his motivation is not related to some tragic backstory, but is simply jealousy twisted into something so deplorably evil. he is bald.

this movie really is All That™️ and then some.
