i actually can’t fucking wait for ilya to be captaining the centaurs & shane not being captain for once in his life. the dynamic is so fun to me idk LOL. first of all they’re both freaky as hell, shane is absolutely calling him captain at inopportune times & ilya gets hot and bothered abt it
SECOND of all shane no longer has to be the child prodigy. like he is, obviously, and everyone knows it, but without the C on his chest and with the centaurs’ more kind, brotherly team vibe, he finally gets to just be one of the guys. no world on his shoulders, no burden
everyone pranks captain ilya & shane is sprinting in the middle of the pack from his playful wrath. everyone gangs up on captain ilya, chirping the hell out of him, and shane uncharacteristically steps in and delivers the final blow. whole team erupts, hollering, cheering, whistling, slapping shane on the back in the locker room while ilya tries to look mad but is secretly so pleased because shane is integrating so well & he loves these boys, they’re his.
idk. smth smth shane becomes best friends with literally all of them & ilya somehow turns into the greatest source of group morale on earth by being the butt of every joke & the heart and soul of the team. i need it.
