bc they are my new hyperfixation and i absolutely can not get them off my mind, here are some Hollanov headcanons i have been constantly thinking abt
(they might be slightly ilya centric in this one, but the next one i’m sure to make will def be shane centric)
let me js start off by saying i have an agenda. what may it be, you ask? ilya went through twink death. that’s it, that’s all. that’s my agenda. and it has done irreparable damage to the queer community (i.e. the small NHL queer community once they find out)
i believe that bc of the political climate of Russia at the time (recovering from the fall of the USSR around the time ilya was born and after), food in general was scarce. regardless of how high up his dad was within the govt. to add on to that, after the passing of his mother, he js hadn’t had a great appetite esp bc there wasn’t really anyone to cook anymore. (given that his father heavily enforced gender roles)
so teenage ilya js kinda lived off whatever food he could get (or wtv sveta’s mom packed him), cigarettes and occasionally vodka
plus he had a super fast metabolism (still does) so none of it stuck and he was really lanky for a while. the only reason it didn’t affect hockey too much is bc he was often too fast (especially when he weighed less) to be hit. his coaches did say that if he wanted to make it to the NHL (and eventually out of Russia) he had to bulk up.
shane never knows about any of this until wayyyyyyy later when sveta is showing off an old scrapbook her mom kept and there’s a picture of young teenage ilya in it. you would have thought they discontinued ginger ale the way shane abt fell out. bc what do you mean he missed twink-ified ilya by like a year and a half and a late second growth spurt??? this is a CRIMEEEEEEEEEEE
once the Centaurs find out they actually hold a funeral. ilya finds it equal parts hilarious and completely absurd. he had no clue that he went through unintentional “twink death” bc he didn’t even know that was a thing. (he’s also incredibly touched that he now has a family that cares if he died/ that a part of his youth died. no matter how gay and ridiculous it is)
harris and shane wear matching black veils. sveta reads the eulogy and rose buys them matching red bottoms to wear to the rink. (they are inspiringly good at walking in the ice with them on) bood doesn’t know if he should be engaging or not. wiebe refuses to engage. young throws rainbow glitter in the air like a flower girl. but he has a black basket so “it fits the vibe”.
i also believe that troy fully had a very unwanted rozanov awakening after imagining adult twink ilya. (harris teases him abt the fact that he can’t look his “bestie” in the eye for a week)
this does not help the baby haas is hollanov’s child allegations at all. if anything haas looks more like ilya after that picture. (i have different ideas and iterations of what i believe haas looks like. esp in conjunction to him being seen as hollanov’s first born vs ilya’s first born. but i digress this is open for interpretation)
the only time ilya almost re-twink-ifies is during off season and after they retire. bc he truly does eat like shit but his metabolism never slowed down and plus shane does make him eat healthier now. plus during those times he’s not working out as much/ as heavy. and if ilya isn’t bulking/actively trying to keep the weight on him, he will loose it. (love my lanky king)
ilya and shane are both extremely smart but in very different ways. shane’s more analytical while ilya is more philosophical.
like ilya loves history, fiction, and he was exceptionally good at science as a kid (got the last part from a fic that i will link once i find it).
while shane loves anything math (specifically stats), non fiction, and also science (but like more of chemistry while ilya is bio).
shane hates when ppl think ilya is dumb or stupid bc of the language barrier. bc ppl genuinely forget that ilya mainly started learning english AFTER he was out of russia. not while he was there. so to be as proficient in it as he was at the time (and even now) with so little experience is extremely impressive
shane also hates that in the back of his mind he also sort of conceded to those notions too. like he never made ilya feel less than but he didn’t realize HOW articulate ilya is until he learned russian and heard him express himself in a way he was most versed in.
shane hates almost everyone touching him except ilya. like he genuinely is the one exception. anyone else he’ll squirm if the contact goes on too long or divert from the contact all together. ilya can touch him all day every day and he couldn’t care less.
if ilya talks bad about himself shane flicks him on his forehead in between his eyebrows. it’s never too hard but it gets the message across. do NOT talk bad abt his baby. ever.
ilya has set plans laid out for when shane gets too anxious or overwhelmed. they’re color coded and have back up divergence plans attached incase something in the plan isn’t plausible at the moment. he made them all himself and without shane knowing.
he did it bc he knows being able to 1. have a plan and 2. have something he can control really does help shane calm down without getting even more overwhelmed with too many choices.
the first time he pulls them out shane full on stops mid panic to admire how well put together and thought out they were. he also made sure to let ilya know how much he appreciated being loved and seen so fiercely later while they were winding down.
ilya has a unibrow. sveta used to wax it and then ilya started shaving it while in boston. he now goes every 2 weeks to spa w/ yuna for mother son dates. they get full body massages, facials, and ilya gets his eyebrows waxed
shane has lowk shitty vision (which we know) but perfect teeth. like he never needed braces or anything.
ilya has 20/20 vision but needed braces twice. first time was for normal reasons and he only had them for about a year and a half. he was supposed to have them more 2 years but he got drafted.
they js made him wear a retainer, which did not help with learning english and his accent fuck you very much. it sorta helped his teeth though?
the second time was bc he kept pissing ppl off on the ice and they kept hitting him. that time he only needed them for about 6 months before they just put in a permanent retainer.
shane had limited time w/ the braces but he enjoyed every second (he mourns them to this day)
ilya doesn’t get the hype and thinks he’s a dramatic kinky pervert (read: he loves it and triple matches his freak)
after he got them and shane wouldn’t shut up about them he jokingly asked if he should role play a naughty schoolboy. shane has never blushed harder in his LIFE. (that’s not a no. they heavily enjoy themselves. shane wears his glasses. it’s a great time.)
shane is possessive asf. his only child tendencies have never shined brighter than when it comes to his one and only ilya rozanov. (ilya loves it)
shane has actively said “mine.” and dragged ilya away before when someone has flirted with him. he’s not proud of it but he’s also not ashamed. ilya has never been more turned on in his life. (lies)
shane is a biter. but not in a sexual way. it’s js a thing with his oral fixation. ilya has bite marks every where.
it gets to a point where some of the older centaurs pull him aside and ask if he’s okay at home with shane. ilya assures them (after he laughs in their faces for 5 mins) that shane needs something in his mouth at all times and ilya offers. shane is MORTIFIED and a bit appalled that they think he could ever hurt ilya intentionally. but also it warms his heart that they care enough to check in so he’s not too peeved.
ilya hates clothes. he sleeps naked unless he HAS to put pjs on. shane cannot fathom not wearing clothes to bed and always puts pjs on unless he drops before he can.
oddly enough ilya always runs cold (but won’t but on some damn clothes) and shane runs hot. it’s a delicate balance of regulating each other without ilya’s body naturally making shane overheat. it’s a hard won battle and they still don’t quite have it down but they both also refuse to separate so….
this isn’t edited so if there’s any spelling mistakes my b. i’ll comb through it later but enjoy and tell me what yall think 😛
edited: i js cleaned up any spelling mistakes that i caught and explained anything too vague
now WHAT is it about joe hendry that makes people wanna do this so bad😭
Kissies

Since Chris Bey was out Ace had to do this alone; he didn't want help unless it was from Chris, but since he's not there his only option was to do this by himself. Later down the road will be the ppv Sacrifice and to build up to that the Northern Armory has been on Ace's ass every week. Ace came down to the ring not doing his signature cartwheel to show that he was in a serious mood, when he got into the ring ready to talk the Northern Armory came down to the ring not even giving Ace time to talk. You kept your eyes on Ace as Eric Young grabbed a microphone, when Ace looked at you Judas Icarus stood in front of you to keep you away from Ace. Ace had a hatred for the Northern Armory for the past few weeks, but with you it was just tension.
You continued to stare Ace as Judas tried to talk some sense into you while Eric Young began to speak; "Ace, you just don't get it. Chris ain't he-"
Ace didn't even let him finish his sentence before punching Eric in the face knocking him out the ring, the next one to fall out the ring was Judas then Travis went right after him. Ace was about to punch you thinking you were one of the guys but he put his guard down once he saw it was you, he lowered his fist breathing heavy as you moved closer to him. You put your hand on his chest rubbing it while moving closer to him then you walked around him as your hand lazily traced his body. When you stood in front of him again Judas grabbed you moving you away from Ace and correcting you while getting you out the ring with the rest of Northern Armory. It's stuff you do like that to get Ace riled up, he hated it because he knew they would never let you even get that close to him.
"What are you doing?!" Judas yelled at you when the four of you got backstage
"I'm sticking to the plan"
"No you're not, you are going your own way"
"I know what I'm doing Judas"
"No you don't"
"Yes I do, Ace can't resist me"
"Yeah right" Judas said annoyed
"No she's right. I watched the tapes from these past few weeks and paid attention earlier, Ace has a soft spot for her"
"See" you teased Judas
Travis smacked your arm for you to listen to Eric
"So now I have a plan and no backing out and making up your own plan" Eric says the last part looking at you
You put your hands up in defense
"Okay this is the plan, next week I face Ace so you; Judas and Travis will stay back here and do not come out"
"What about me?" You asked
"You will go out there with me"
"To get into Ace's head" you caught on
"Yes" Eric nods
The following week Eric waited in the ring for Ace while you stood ringside, Ace once again walked to the ring once again not doing his cartwheel. The bell rang as soon as Ace got in the ring, Eric retreated and exited the ring running from Ace making him follow behind. When Eric got to you he hid behind you then shoved you into Ace once he got in front of you both, Ace's hands went to your waist to catch you so you wouldn't trip. While Ace was distracted Eric came from behind you and sucker punched Ace knocking him out, the rest of the match was a blur to you because all you could think about was Ace's hands on your waist. Ace won the match since you was distracted and didn't help Eric, which you'll hear about later from all the boys.
"What the-" Judas started to say when you got backstage but you just continued to walk to the locker room leaving them all standing there confused
Later that night you heard a knock at your door so you open it to see Ace;
"Can I come in?"
"Ace I'm not even supposed to be talking to you"
"Please it's important"
You let Ace in and lock the door behind him, you joined him on the bed sitting kind of close to him;
He put his hand on your thigh resting it there as he began to speak "Look I know with all this going on I feel like I have to tell you this now before everything gets out of control"
You were nervous
"I have feelings for you" Ace admitted
You sat there quietly thinking about what Ace just said not knowing what to say, knowing the boys they'll never approve of you and Ace dating;
"Ace you know the guys will never let us be together"
"I don't care about them right now, I want to focus on right now"
"I really don't know"
"At least think about it"
He got up walking to the door with you following behind him, Ace opened the door walking out looking at you as you now leaned in the doorway;
"Good night" he told me as he walked back to his hotel room
It's now Thursday again and what Ace said to you stayed on your mind all week, you stood alone in the catering area until Ace came up to you;
"What don't you get? I can't be seen with you or the guys will kill me"
"Because I know what I want, have you thought about what I said?"
"I don't know Ace"
"Well when you figure it out come find me" he says walking away to his locker room
The Northern Armory seen Ace walk away from you so they obviously came up to you pissed off;
"What the hell was that about?" Judas sounded pissed
"I don't know"
"Obviously you do if he said it right to your face" Travis said
Travis was the one out of the group who always took it easy on you, so if he was correcting you; you know it's bad. Eric looked at you annoyed because at this point he wanted to be done with Ace Austin and put him behind y'all, but since Ace keeps trying to talk to you it's far from over.
"Let's go to the ring because we are solving this right now" Eric sounded disappointed in you as he walked to the ring with ya'll following behind
When the show came back from commercial break you guys was already in the ring and Eric had a microphone already in his hand;
"Ace Austin get your ass out here" Eric said with a pissed off tone
The Abc theme started playing as Ace came to the top of the ramp doing his signature cartwheel before getting into the ring getting a microphone, as he walked past the four of you his eyes was locked on your while he made his way in front of you and Eric.
"No don't look at her look at me you son of a bitch" Eric snapped
Ace laughed into the microphone before he spoke, "Wait, let me guess why you're mad at me. Hmmm, is it because of Y/n?"
Eric shook his head yes
"I mean if you are going to be mad at me because of that then get mad at Y/n for letting me in her hotel room"
Eric looked at you as the fans were chanting 'holy shit'
Judas was the first one to push Ace but Ace backed off and leaned against the ropes putting the microphone to his mouth to speak again, "The next time you want to come at me make sure you have your own faction members in line"
He dropped his microphone going backstage, Eric didn't even look at you as he went backstage with Judas and Travis following behind him then you weren't that far behind them. Before a peep could come out your mouth Eric already started yelling;
"What is Ace talking about?!"
"Why are you yelling at me? I am right here"
"Because you can't get it through your fucking head to stay away from Ace"
"Hold on because what you're not going to do is accuse me of something I am not doing, Ace comes onto me not the other way around"
"You are still being around him Y/n"
"You know what Eric? Since I am being accused so much maybe I will go be with Ace" you stormed off going to the Abc locker room banging on the door until Ace answered it
You barge into the locker room shutting the door hard as the Northern Armory watched but it left Ace confused;
"Y/n what are you doing here?'
"Since I am being accused of coming onto you by the group, here I am"
"Y/n I-"
"No, I am taking you up on your offer so you better not waste my time Ace" you interrupted him
"I won't"
"So at Sacrifice I will be on your side"
Fast forward to Sacrifice you got into the ring with the Northern Armory as normal while you waited for Ace to come down to the ring. He got into the ring as you all waited for Ace's mystery partners come down to the ring since 3 on 1 wouldn't be fair, it was quiet until the Rascalz's theme started playing; the Rascalz had their own debt to settle with Judas and Travis.
Towards the end of the match Zachary pretended to be hurt as you got into the ring, Ace looked at you while he stood across from Eric;
"Hit him" Eric directed while pointing at Ace
"You know what to do" Ace says looking at you
You stood there as they both continued to yell at you until you snapped, you followed Ace's directions and you punched Eric in the mouth hard then you rolled out the ring giving Ace enough time to do his finisher then the win for his team. Eric laid flat on his back while Judas and Travis stared at you shocked that you turned your back on them, when you went backstage with the Rascalz and Ace, Gia Miller stopped you;
"Why did you turn your back on the Northern Armory?" she asked putting the microphone to you
"Honestly Gia, I am not going to be in a faction where I am accused week after week of something when that shows that they can't even trust me. I got tired of Eric pushing me around, I am my own person and I can make my own decisions; this is what Judas and Travis need to understand, Eric only has them around because he needs them in order to win and because Steve Maclin is so close to cutting ties with him and Eric doesn't want to be alone so he's dependent on Judas and Travis"
"So what is next for you?"
You looked at Gia as reality hit you; what was next for you? A solo career? Join another team? Stay with Ace? You really had to think about it before you could answer Gia;
"You know what Gia?"
"Hm?" she hummed putting the microphone back to you
"I honestly don't know what is next for me; maybe I join a faction? Maybe I make a new faction? Probably do a solo career? Probably stick around to help Ace? Or Maybe I go after the Tna knockouts championship" you say the last part looking directly into the camera making sure Masha Slamovich hears you loud and clear
"I have one more question"
"Yes?"
"But why was Ace with you that night?" she asked being nosy
"Nosy aren't ya? That is something for me and Ace to know and nobody else will ever find out"
Ace kept his eyes on you as you spoke; it was heels like you that always had Ace in a choke hold.
The TNA roster let us know TNA Impact is coming to AMC
As a young wrestling fan, I can recall certain Heels inspiring fear and intimidation in me just from their scary appearance. I'd feel butterflies in my stomach seeing the monster strut to the ring, hoping he wouldn't hurt my beloved Cute Babyface too badly -- and hoping the monster didn't come for me next! (My anxiety would soon transform into sheer arousal once the monster began mauling said Cute Babyface.)
Anyway, I recently stumbled upon this German wrestler, Krampus, who triggered that old fear/lust cocktail that wired my brain to pro wrestling decades ago. That demonic cloak! That horned devil mask, fuuuuck!
Here are images of Krampus working over a well-suffering Eric Young. The full match, with German commentary, is available on YouTube.
