it’s a bit funny that Ilya’s given a whole ass penthouse at the 2014 awards, his fourth season, but both Shane and Ilya had roommates on the roadtrip in their seventh season. seventh season! roommates! like, seriously?

Deployment can’t stop me from reheating that rivalry.
ilya rozanov seems like the type of guy u would meet on an xbox group post in 2021-present
for that reason i cannot help but feel maternal and also slight hatred
the feelings i feel towards shane hollander..
i wish to have eaten cheese with him as a mouse on a stoop late at night in a past life
another life i suppose...
once the centaurs see shane get rage baited by ilya enough times they decide they also want a reaction™️ but they just get a monotone (warning esque) “wyatt” but oh lord ilya skates up to shane at practice with a tiny smile and “i swear to fucKING GOD ILYA” and shoves him with his whole body. “man didn’t do nothing” “shut up you’ll be next”
ilya seeing god in this scene
saw a post saying something about how can this fandom be so sensitive when it’s got so many snarky characters, in relation to David’s “no nice men in Montreal” line. and I get the sentiment, but I also think there’s a time and place for the snarky comments. it’s your first time meeting your son’s lover boyfriend, your son who came out to you that very same day, probably less than an hour ago even, and both of them were visibly uncomfortable when they came to your house that less than an hour ago. maybe this isn’t the time to ask such a question, or make a snarky comment of that nature. but that’s just my opinion
skimming through the long game to find ilya's most used chirps, and it's so sad that everyone questions Shane and Ilya's relationship when they find out. on page, there are more people being weird about it than people being openly supportive instantly.
yuna & david: but you hate him, no nice men in montreal.
hayden: wtf. this isn't good. (from heated rivalry epilogue)
jackie: (found out off page) but she's supportive on page (from my dinner with hayden)
ryan: shocked/surprised he caught them kissing, then smiling and thinking things made a lot more sense, then left in a hurry feeling embarrassed (taken from tough guy not tlg)
fabian: (must've found out off page bc double date) curious and asking questions, doesn't fully understand their situation but is okay with that.
rose: (found out off page) but she's supportive on page
farah: ilya comes out and she says i think i can see where this is going, couldn't predicted it, i'm on your side.
svetlana: threw herself on the table when realising it's shane, nothing negative on page but it cut right after she found out and return after dinner
these found out off page with the video, but we saw some reactions from them relatively soon after:
the montreal players: on the spectrum of weird and disgust. told shane to leave the locker room when they found out he'd been benched. not a friendly face in the room*
wiebe: asked if they were serious, saying the kiss obviously wasn't a joke and still asks if they're together.
theriault: disgust and anger.
crowell: disgust and anger.
harris, troy & wyatt: texted ilya nice things.
max: texted both shane & ilya nice things.
Bood + the other ottawa players: (a week or so later) the king is back! everyone clapped and whooped when Ilya came into the room.
scott: (over a month after they got outed) felt sick you got outed, and when found out about the wedding jesus, this is really weird, sorry.
to summarize: the majority of the reactions are negative or neutral, neutral-negative leaning, and of the positive reactions, Ilya got the majority of them. I wish we could've seen Rose's initial reaction, bc that might've been one of the positive ones for Shane, but we'll never know.
