can i say something mean. #myshane would HATE gay people coming to centaurs games just to support him and ilya. genuinely fucking SEETHING. he's smiling and waving at them but in his head he's just like they don't CARE about hockey they don't CARE they're only here because i'm fucking GAY they're not REAL fans do they even KNOW how good i am god this is SO embarrassing
#i think he'd spend about half a second being grateful#then start being annoyed#on the other hand#when people who are long time fans start coming up to him and telling him how much his coming out meant to them#that's a different story he might be getting a little teary eyed at that#and the first time a rookie comes out to him?#yeah he's gonna be sobbing in the bathroom about that later#just a reminder that shane always wanted the public to know he was gay#he just never wanted them to care that he was gay#it's two different things#look this man spent his entire life chasing the validation of hockey players and coaches#i'm sorry but i don't think the opinions of a random gay person really mean much of anything to him#to be clear i am not saying that this is an objectively good reaction#i think shane has a lot of internalized homophobia that he needs to work through#and these people are genuinely just trying to support him in what is definitely a difficult time for him#but shane doesn't want attention for this so his immediate reaction is going to be “hmmm... fake fans”#anyways#heated rivalry#heated rivalry headcanon#shane hollander#ilya rozanov#shane x ilya#game changers series#the centaurs#post tlg#tlg#hollanov#homophobia#internalized homophobia#click here! for my fandom posts
