you're one of the few people i consistently see respecting shane for man he is so i hope you will appreciate my need for people to step back and give him the props he deserves!
He's the hottest guy in the MLH! He's a generational talent, a hockey prodigy, a genius tactician on the ice. rookie of the year, TWO time cup winner before he's 25. he's determined, brave, dedicated, loves with his whole heart, is an absolute freak in the sheets, loves (ilya's) dick like it was made to be in his mouth at all times, and on top of allll that, he's hot AF!
i mean, have you seen his ass in all its glory?? and his slutty little waist? or how about when he rode ilya like tomorrow would never come? have you seen him fingerbang himself to the point that /the/ ilya rozanov lost his composure, after which he crawls across the bed just so he can get his mouth closer to that dick?
i'm so, so tired of people infantilizing shane and thinking he's a cutie patootie who needs pats on the head and to be carried around in someone's pocket. nah, no, nope. people need to start putting some respect on his name!
anyway, i hope you're having a nice day. happy shane hollander thoughts to you.
PERRRIOOODDDDDDDDDDDD yes say that!!!!!! Always!!!!! He is sooooooo fucking hot I can't stand it. And his freakiness has legit inspired me to give in to mine a lot more lmao.
BAMF Shane fics are some of my all time favorites because I feel like, yeah, because his character arc is him opening up to his sexuality a bit and being more vulnerable (especially in the beginning) people tend to just....infantilize him? Like he's not a full ass jock and elite athlete? Like he's not more masc than Ilya in some ways? I love my chaotic bisexual asshole son but just because he tops doesn't mean he's not the more flamboyant one in a lot of ways (part of that is just being European instead of Canadian, but I digress). What I love about this show especially (and what some people seem to be missing somehow) is how the idea of what it means to be masculine is challenged, and how the d/s power dynamic between them doesn't actually translate to this weird heteronormative idea of who's the so-called man and the so-called woman in terms of power dynamics. They're EQUALS. That's the whole point. Both elite athletes, both top of the league, both respected by their peers. Ilya can hide behind women and being white in a way that Shane can't, but that doesn't mean Shane isn't some little bohoo baby that can't defend himself. They're PARTNERS. They both need each other at different times. Ilya is soft and gentle when Shane is feeling insecure about sex, Shane is soft and gentle in Tampa when Ilya needs emotional support, Ilya is there when Shane is freaking out about his parents. None of that is a gendered response, that's just what partners DO for each other. Topping doesn't mean man, doesn't mean more masculine. Bottoming doesn't mean woman, doesn't mean more feminine or weak. It's literally just who likes taking dick and who doesn't!! That's it!!! Also the way Ilya goes down on Shane in both the front and the back is awesome! That scene in Vegas, people who watch that and don't see how much POWER Shane was holding there....drives me nuts. Ilya couldn't take his fucking eyes off him. Shane says I need you and .1 second later Ilya is on the bed and giving Shane EXACTLY what he wants.
This got long and rambly and I'm probably not saying everything I need to say exactly but basically, yes you're correct Shane is fucking AWESOME, there's a reason Ilya needs him so badly, and he is the opposite of weak. Stop trying to put him in some little weird heteronormative gender role bs box people!
