the headcanon that really keeps me up at night is that ilya was a vine star, and subsequently had to deal with the shutdown of vine during 2016 rosegate
so i'm thinking about this post again, and i've decided i'm rewriting canon because hr is a time piece, and unfortunately it doesn't fully feel like one with the omission of vine
so vegas mhl awards, shane and ilya go on stage to present, and instead of ilya asking to take a selfie, he asks to do a vine. shane is like "a fucking what?" ilya just makes his vine, they get offstage, and he posts it mindlessly.
the video doesn't really do great, but it does numbers in hockey rpf fandoms, solely for shane and ilya's interaction. the comments are all hollanov truthers, and some are shayden truthers trying to fight it out with them because yk, stan/ship wars.
shane, who up to this point still doesn't really know or understand vine yet, gets sent the video by jj who is like "look at all the comments, these people are so stupid, you hate each other." which sends shane into the worst spiral known to man, spiralling that people in the real world think he's gay and fucking rozanov.... which he is, but they are not supposed to know that.
shane texts ilya in a panic, text convo as follows.
jane: do you see the comments on that thing you posted?
lily: what thing?
jane: that vine thing
jane: from the awards
lily: oh yeah
jane: and you are totally fine that hundreds of people think we are gay and fucking each other?
lily: are they wrong?
shane leaves him on read, because how the fuck is shane hollander, who is so far into the closet he doesn't even realize there is a door, supposed to respond to "are they wrong?"
this is also how shane finds out about hockey rpf and rpf in general. he's definitely scared of it, but like you are supposed to deal with a moose, he believes that if he slowly backs away, doesn't make any noise or any eye contact, they'll leave him alone. unfortunately for shane, hockey rpf does not work like that
okay connor in those slutty fucking boot things with his knees out has me acting like a victorian era man seeing ankles for the first time
