Shane Meta Masterlist Beginnerlist* part 1

*because I don't think this will ever be fully finished!

I have compiled a bunch of links to meta posts about Shane Hollander that I encountered and enjoyed. I hope you also enjoy them!

Ilya version here ! 💗Shane part 2 here

Notes:

This list will continue to evolve. If you see any posts you think would make a good addition, feel free to dm me or tag me so I can include them in the next part! 😁

To any users I've tagged in this post, if you would like me to untag you or remove your post from the list, please just let me know!

The Origins of Connie From Admin, Pt. 1

I love you guys thank you for indulging me <3 

(please note all post time stamps are in my local time, which is currently Newfoundland Daylight Time (UTC -02:30) so they probably won’t line up with the time of posting either in the original poster’s time zone or yours, dear Reader. They are just there to establish a timeline.)

This is definitely one of those that may never be truly completed, because Connie is different from the other bits I’ve seen in this fandom in that we’re a little more invested in her as her own character, and we’re building her whole life from the ground up, one text post and anonymous ask at a time. 

First thing’s first, you will need to know what Connor Storrie wore to the Met Gala on Monday, May 4, 2026, particularly after he removed the suit jacket. 

Source

If I could summarize the Connie phenomenon, it would be with this quote from Jake @kaijuerotica : “hey if you're free later, me and the mutuals are ensouling a joke about one specific picture from the met gala. yeah, it's gonna be all day so stop in whenever” and this one from Nick @cuppydogshane : “we ensouled an outfit. we can do Anything” 

If we’re doing a “quick and dirty” rundown of who Connie is, I really like this description from Jes @ticklefighthockey : “i believe connie is the ann taylor-wearing alterego of connor storrie (inspired by his met gala blouse lmao)... she works in HR (human relations not heated rivalry) and is crushing on big hud who works in sales... but on a deeper level i think connie is whoever you need her to be…”

And this answer from Bea @virginshane is a more thorough, but still succinct, summary.

Ready? Okay. 

The official inception of Connie from admin was this wonderful joke from Teddy @loontattoo (May 5, 6:04pm): “Hahaha yeah that’s just connie from admin. she got a little wild at the staff holiday party. classic connie.”

Now. If you’ve read the Shane’s mouth frog and the Shoon masterlists, you’ll probably know that I don’t usually start at The Beginning. I like to go back and look for the history - to see if there were any rumblings of a particular fandom phenomenon before it achieved critical mass (if you will forgive the dreadful mixing of metaphors). I love this because it shows a) how in sync we are, as a fandom and b) all the Bits we do here are so collaborative. The collective consciousness of the tumblr Heated Rivalry fandom is a beautiful thing. 

So, in keeping with tradition, let’s go back, to -22.10 hours BCE (Before Connie’s Era): 

[NOTE: I’m calling this section “Protoconnieposting”, inspired by Nick’s tag on his reblog of his own post, after Connie’s official inception.]

After seeing Connor’s outfit without the jacket, Grace @graceebooks posted (May 4, 7:58pm): “im not kidding he dresses like me every time. i wore this without the train to court last week” [NOTE: Grace is a woman, a lawyer, and, if I remember correctly, she indicated in another post that she is 41 years old.] 

One minute later: “connor storrie said i WILL dress like a forty year old woman and it WILL look incredible” (7:59pm)

9:43pm: “you guys have to accept that connor storrie contains multitudes and one of those facets is he wants to dress like a forty year old woman when the whole world is watching”

The following day, Julia @poetrylesbian posted a photo of Connor’s outfit paired with a screenshot of the Onion headline “Suburban Mom Wows Family With Most Androgynous Look Yet” (May 5, 8:31pm)

In the meantime, Hudson Williams’ outfit was also revealed…

Source

..and Rowan @themoonandmyman posted this (May 4, 9:19pm): “Listen they both look good. by virtue of being extremely attractive men. it’s also vulcan wine aunt and her boy toy matador wolverine”

THEN, we got a video of Connor waving at the person filming with a big smile on his face as he went into the gala. Thank you to @sheisraging for this gif:

That gif was posted at 10:21pm. 

At 10:52pm, Grace reblogged the gif above with the tag #literally a texas wine mom my beloved

At 10:55pm, @armitsicko posted “she’s late to her MEETINGS but she still waves to the crowd”

11:09pm: Cece @twirlingfreckles : like if Connor wants to dress like the regional manager of chicken salad chick I think we should support him in that

THEN, at 11:13pm, Kostas @24x81 debuted her CEO/matador universe: “it's that beautiful middle-aged corporate CEO woman and his david bowie matador lover and life partner on that red carpet tonight “ We’ll come back to that, because they expanded on the concept quite a bit the following day. 

BUT. In the meantime…

We got pictures of Connor dancing at the Met Gala (Thank you, @butdarlingthestarrs ) which included THEE iconic photo that birthed Connie (May 5, 1:06am) and Grace reblogged the photoset with the tag #oh my god when mom comes along to the party and has a few too many margaritas !! (1:24am)

Some more examples of proto connie posts on May 5:

From Grace, on a photo of Connor with Charlie XCX and Tate McRae: #literally mom #with goth daughter and cheerleader daughter (1:44am)

From Nick, that chic young woman is going places. in her powersuits (1:11pm)

From @ilyastits : when you’re six drinks in and the dj hits the “let’s go girls” (2:05pm)

From Yaz @nonlynear : the sweet texan woman that lurks beneath a thin veneer of butch woman that lurks beneath a thin veneer of muggy gay guy (6:47pm) 

Okay let’s go back to Kostas’ CEO/matador universe and the stuff she posted about it on May 5th! 

#he really was giving corporate CEO woman of the year under 40 on Forbes magazine (11:08am) (thank you for the pictures, @actuallysara )

they're arguing because she has been in back to back meetings negotiating this merger and she's had to miss his last two matador shows or whatever they're called… (11:12am)

you'd think he would spend a lot of time in Spain but no. trying to break into the matador market on the west coast. she's on the east coast - it's where corporate hq is... (12:31pm)

she goes by connie. she does call him big hud cause he refers to himself in the third person as big hud…. (2:19pm)

connie takes big hud to his gala fundraisers and private business dinners cause she likes her arm candy… (2:35pm)

connie and big hud wintering in mykonos… (2:39pm)

connie in a power suit yelling at someone on the phone and big hud getting so hard so fast his vision blacks out for a second (2:45pm)

connie is the queen of day to night looks… (3:12pm)

early morning connie in her matching pajama set and embroidered silk bathrobe making espresso for him and big hud… (4:51pm)

And literally one hour and 13 minutes later, Tedanthony middlename lastname loontattoo typed the immortal words “Connie from admin” and hit post. 

(Continued in Part 2)

The Origins of Connie from Admin, Pt. 2

Continued from Part 1

(please note all post time stamps are in my local time, which is currently Newfoundland Daylight Time (UTC -02:30) so they probably won’t line up with the time of posting either in the original poster’s time zone or yours, dear Reader. They are just there to establish a timeline.)

On May 5, 10:30pm, @russianblush posted a picture of Connor outside his hotel holding fruit in both hands, looking…confused. Grace reblogged it saying, “also this is still fucking connie” (May 6, 12:04am) and “babe i cant believe i came into the city without a big enough bag for all my fruuuuuuit” (12:07am)

However, the Connieposting really exploded the following day, prompted by, if I’m not mistaken, Lexi @avantgarden-er ‘s response to an anon asking “How many kids do you have? Do you use icy hot? What’s your fav brand of mouthwash? Do you hollaback?” 

Lexi’s response was, “Connie from Admin asks these questions rapid fire to the new hire as shes walking down a hallway super fast and smacking her gum and the new hire is like. I just need to know where the bathroom is” (May 7, 4:58pm)

An exchange between Teddy and Lexi in the comments: 

Teddy: she just wants a friend

Lexi: Shes literally nice

Teddy: like she's just trying to get to know everyone.......no one even got her flowers for administrative professionals day :(

Lexi: She got EVERYONE st nick stocking stuffers and nobody even got her like a lip balm….

Teddy: no like why am I actually going to cry

The Connie from Admin posts started proliferating from the evening of May 7th into the morning of May 8th in my time zone). Some examples: 

connie from admin when she finds out that everyone got their benefit elections in by open enrollment deadline and so she's exceeding her KPIs this year: (May 7, 11:35pm)

when she retires i know shes going to start a restaurant with her matador boytoy bighud (11:44pm)

connie from admin runs that office secret santa like it's the military (11:53pm)

From Syd @tothecottage : connie from admin you are like the main character of a hallmark movie to me… (May 8, 12:19am)

@ambiguityenjoyer : Connie from admin is also 6-30% evil fyi (12:51am)

From Ott @vegas2014 : what’s connie from admin’s karaoke song (2:37am)

you K N O W miss Connie goes nuts for tinis and bruschetta (3:31am)

i think one conversation with connie from admin could have saved shane hollander (3:35am)

From Dam @hollanovfuckoff : Connie from admin at the makeshift red carpet before the corporate NY party ready to win 20 dollar certificate at the lottery

THEN, at 9:59am, Lexi got another anon asking, “does big hud work in the same office as Connie?” and THAT is how Big Hud was assigned Salesman, when Lexi said, “Big Hud is the fist bumping lower level sales dude…”

From that point onward, the Connie from admin and Big Hud posting was fast and furious! A nonexhaustive selection of posts:

10:06am: What if Connie the HR admin and Big Hud from sales had a rivalry going on like in The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

12:09pm: From Sejun @liminalmess : Connie from admin starting to get burnt out from taking care of everyone else all the time so she takes a sabbatical to go to Spain

12:40pm: From @hollzy-baby : Connie from admin feels like a matching set girlie when she works out

12:41pm: connie from admins karaoke song is you and i by lady gaga

12:47pm: connie from admin loves wearing her sleeveless tops…

12:50pm: me thinks bighud is the new hire….. connie from admin takes her through the newbie stuff around the office

1:08pm: hey connie from admin in black shiny kitten heels… her calfs… i huave covid

1:15pm: From Lo @blanklier : connie from admin is so polite and she really never does this but she's in suuch a hurry…

1:24pm: From Starr @hollanoveau : connie stays late to decorate peoples’ cubicles/offices when it’s their birthday the next day…

Okay here is where I have to stop highlighting individual posts…FOR NOW. I will continue working on a proper masterlist so we can have AAALLL the lore in one place. But for the moment, this particular post will focus on the origin and touch on some of the main components of the universe. 

She works in Human Resources, which is under the umbrella of Administration, for a private company called Business Inc.

She is middle-aged. Probably forties.

Pretty much everybody has affirmed that we all agree that she is trans. 

She has been married at least once (maybe twice) before.

She has a son? He’s in high school, I think. The same high school that Big Hud went to. Or a daughter? Multiple daughters? She’s a mom. 

Jacob Tierney is the CEO. 

Christina (Chang, Yuna) is Connie’s direct supervisor.

Robbie (G.K., Kip) is the IT guy. 

Frankie, or Francois (Arnaud, Scott), is also there and works in either Finance or Operations.

Sophie (Nelisse, Rose) and Ksenia (Daniela Kharlamova, Svetlana) are also there and work in marketing and internal comms, respectively, or in human resources and sales, respectively.

Cliff and/or Franco are also there. Doing things.

Callan (Potter, Hayden) and Benjamin (Roy, JJ) work in procurement. 

At first, they both have big crushes on each other and flirt a lot, but each one thinks that it’s one-sided. Big Hud had the highest sales of the year so he won a trip to Aruba. He invites Connie to go with him, but she declines, at first. But then Robbie from IT and Francois from Finance kiss at a staff party and she changes her mind. During that trip is when they start their relationship. 

Bea has been getting LOTS of anonymous asks with some truly inspired Connie lore/vignettes, in particular from one person we’re calling “Connieverse Anon”: 

I have been PLAGUED with thoughts of connie from admin and big hud <3

hi okay I just sent an ask about connie from admin and big hud

Hi it’s me again okay you can call me conniverse anon

hiiii connieverse anon here!!

From Leo : connie (from admin) & BigHud 

From @hollanovshome : connie from admin your cardigan is slipping !

 From Ruby @ilyasleatherbackpack : Connie from admin you've bewitched me body and soul.

Butterfly Tattoo by Benny @likematingcall 

Okay, that’s all I got in me tonight! This is barely scratching the surface! I’d love to eventually put together a REALLY comprehensive masterlist of “everything we know about Connie” (crowdsourced headcanons). One of these days. For the time being, I hope this can serve as an introduction to the wonderful world of Connie from admin!

Shane’s Mouth Frog #frogposting Masterlist

An attempt to round up all the posts about the frog that lives in Shane Hollander's mouth.

(please note all post time stamps are in my local time, which is currently Newfoundland Daylight Time (UTC -02:30) so they probably won’t line up with the time of posting either in the original poster’s time zone or yours, dear Reader. They are just there to establish a timeline.)

March 11 (the day before): "Frog Hollander"

Nic @cardiacanes was the instigator and ringleader of the official #frogposting on March 12th because, as they explained, they saw a gif of Shane during the press conference and thought, “that guy looks like he has a little frog in his mouth.” (this explanation came on March 13th after Jake @kaijuerotica said that it seemed to have materialized out of nowhere). 

(**EDIT: Nic clarified, "nobody was asking me about the frog - i was making a bunch of jokes to the void and it just took off.")

March 13, 9:52pm: "asking around and discovering that the jokes about the frog in shane hollander's mouth seem to have appeared without warning from the ether. much like the frog living inside shane hollander's mouth"

March 13, 10:15pm: "it was me — i saw a gif of shane during the ep1 press conference late last night and i thought. that guy looks like he has a little frog in his mouth. and amazingly everyone saw the vision"

The original post was a joke about Jacob’s direction for when Hudson and Connor are kissing. 

March 12, 11:28pm: "jacob told hudson to act like there was a little frog hiding in his mouth at all times and then he told connor to go searching for it"

The #frogposting exploded from there. At first, the idea was that Hudson had a frog in his mouth for filming. 

March 12, 11:41pm: "some of you are asking who takes care of the frog in between takes and they hired someone for that specifically- you can tell every part of production was so carefully thought out"

However, it seems that the reason Hudson has a frog in his mouth during filming is because Shane himself actually has a frog in his mouth at all times. 

This idea captivated and delighted tumblr users, who eagerly took the concept and ran with it, collectively agreeing that the mouth frog is part of the expanded “The Vampire Marleau” universe, and therefore is associated with Jackie Le Fay, Shane’s Mysterious Powers, Mouse Thrall Hayden, 2-day blinding stew, and, later on, Shoon (Loon Shane). 

March 12, 11:29pm: "shane ‘frog’ hollander"

March 12, 11:35pm: "shane really is the best player in the league and im tired of everyone pretending like he isn’t. he’s literally holding a tiny frog in his mouth the whole time and do you realize how hard it is the do that and play homoerotic hockey at the same time?"

March 12, 11:43pm: "beautiful women are asking me about shane hollanders tiny frog"

March 12, 11:46pm (the first post that I could find about Shane's mouth frog by someone other than Nic): @graceebooks : when shane has to take the little frog out before they kiss he thinks ilya is going to make fun of the frog but he is cool about it

Discussion in the comments

March 12, 11:50pm: "i love rhe frog I accept the realness of the frog #frog"

March 12, 11:56pm: "when he even loves the little frog you carry in your mouth all the time"

March 12, 11:58pm: "Ilya likes both"

March 13, 12:11am: Question from Lily (probably) @probablily to Nic: "what is this shane frog thing bc I'm imagining him being piloted by a little frog like ratatouille"

March 13, 12:21am: "was the tiny frog sent by jackie to keep shane within the bounds of his cosmic destiny? well if she did she’s not owning up to it anytime soon"

March 13, 12:31am: "the frog gets caught on a hot mic and hockey twitter just decides shane is really good at impressions"

March 13, 12:39am: @cephalopodie (one of the co-founders of The Vampire Marleau universe) : "tom holland’s acting career threatened after mouth frog disappearance; claims he was served “blinding stew” while filming spiderman: home alone 2: lost in montreal"

March 13, 12:40am: "the bar for male hockey players is so low that rose saw the frog in shane’s mouth and thought well it could be worse"

Comments on that post

March 13, 1:59pm: "bf: so the frog lives in his mouth"

March 13, 3:13am : "Mouse hayden tries to talk to shane’s frog mouth on account of them both being little creatures™️ but the frog refuses to give him the time of day. This is why hayden always tells jackie to keep ginger ale stocked in their house so he can get on it’s good graces."

march 13, 2:45am: Cly @clytemnestraaa : i feel like there’s a good chemicals making the frogs gay joke in there but the components are not alchemizing properly. oh well (**NOTE: IM SORRY I MISSED THIS ONE ON THE FIRST GO 'ROUND)

March 13, 2:57am: "shanehollandersmouthfrog.com/careers"

March 13, 9:58am: Sydney @gayhockeyshowenjoyer : "fuck it. happy frog in his mouth friday."

March 13, 10:19am: Amy @fresh-bag-of-ham : "shane just tells people he's on a macrobiotic diet because he got sick of the follow-up questions when he would tell them everything he eats has to be "frog-safe" "

March 13, 10:21am: "Every week I log on here to check out my other fandoms and it’s nothing but shipping discourse and character hate. Then I log back onto Heated Rivalry tumblr and see a post like “the Mouse Hayden and The Frog In Shane’s Mouth are in a problematic age gap relationship” " and their self reblog with additional comments

(note: I could find no record of the age gap post they were referencing. I think perhaps this was a fictitious post that J made up as a humorous example for the purpose of their post, but which, by its very suggestion, became part of the mouthfrog lore. **EDIT: J has confirmed that I was right, "[it] was a joke about the jokeposting that occurs on this app.")

March 13, 10:53am: "ilya cramming his fingers into shane's mouth to pet the frog"

March 13, 12:01pm : "shut up. i'm trying to say, i have a. thing. Ok"

Maria @shinywhatsoever ‘s reblog additions: "he is hot. we should let him listen like mating call."

March 13, 12:09pm: "ilya yelling to check on the frog when they are taking shane away on the stretcher and shane like “tell him the frogs ok………”"

March 13, 12:26pm: Laur @fuckrozanov (of Assigned Shane of the Day fame): "the real reason it took shane 2 years to let ilya hit"

Laur’s reblog with a screenshot of a comment from @facelessoldgargoyle : "Omg… the frog was in Shane’s ear calling him homophobic slurs…"

March 13, 12:34pm: Emily @urie : "shane's mouth frog also wears the wifi repelling amulet"

March 13, 12:54pm: @alexei-rozanov-official : *shane gets up on it and starts hoppin on it*

March 13, 3:39pm: "Immortal trickster Demi-god Wyatt Hayes conspiring to switch out the humble western chorus frog in Shane’s mouth with the hallucinogenic Colorado river toad he acquired from Jackie Le Fay through subterfuge"

March 13, 5:29pm: "heard there's a frog living in shane hollander's mouth now"

March 13, 6:24pm: "tfw youve been offline for longer than 2 hours and now youve missed crucial lore"

March 13, 6:38pm: "AFAB shane. assigned frog at birth"

March 13, 6:47pm: "I love tumblr because you can read the most thought provoking, in-depth character analysis that belongs in a peer reviewed academic journal and then you scroll down to find out that Shane has a frog in his mouth now. It lives there."

NOTE: this is the point in the posting timeline when the above-referenced exchange between Jake @kaijuerotica and Nic @cardiacanes takes place wherein Nic explains the origin of the idea

March 14, 1:16am: @crowofjudgment : "does shane take out his mouth frog at night like a reverse retainer or does he stay there all night? i like to think he has a terrarium with a little pool in his bedroom at all his houses and a also travel one for away games"

March 14, 3:13pm: Grace @brightloveee : "why can’t someone come search for the frog in MY mouth? is that really too much to ask???"

March 13, 9:08pm: "realizing shane was in an unlikely animals becoming friends youtube rabbit hole to cope with the homophobic frog that materialized in his mouth……..really puts things in perspective"

March 13, 10:06pm: Anon to Laur: "Does your last post imply the frog materialized in shane’s mouth after the first bj? If so I have questions."

March 15, 3:02pm: "Shane, sat on the bed, reserved and sighing with a deep sadness: I feel like you’re only with me for my frog"

March 15, 7:40pm: Al @hollandersbutch : "how it feels to be the frog in shane's mouth"

March 15, 8:38pm: "frog that lives in shane's mouth moodboard"

March 15, 8:51pm: "Don't talk to me or my mouth frog ever again"

March 15, 10:37pm: Logan @xbitter-blossomx : "So does Shane have his time travel powers because of the frog, or is that its own thing?"

March 16, 1:20am: @error404-redacted ‘s message to Rowan: "the frog exclusively wears air jordans"

March 16, 10:33pm: "The puppet in Ilya’s pants is in love with Shane’s mouth frog. It’s unrequited" (in reference to his comment on this gifset)

March 17, 8:29pm: Anon to Rowan: "I wouldn't say the mouth frog and pants puppet's love is unrequited given the amount of bulge mouthing that takes place in the canon of the show. I think those two are intimately familiar."

March 17, 9:33pm: "getting isekaied into the HRverse but i'm shane hollander's frog"

March 17, 10:59pm: "not to mention Shane’s mouth frog and Harris’ fungal omnipresence"

March 19, 8:23pm: Anon to Nic: "how many frogs yu fittin in your mouth and would you let ilya pet them"

March 20, 3:02pm : #you can see the frog in that first gif

NOTE: At this point in the timeline, a new phenomenon developed, which was “Shane turned into a Loon”, or “Shoon.” (That’s another masterlist to follow, hopefully soon).

March 22, 4:17am: "if shane is a loon now then who is holding the frog"

March 22, 4:35am: "shane when he turns back into a human and realizes the frog is gone and his mouth tastes like swamp water and iron"

March 22, 4:38am: "Ilya just tell me. Its okay just fuckign tell me. Tell me where he is. Tell me what happened to my mouth frog"

March 22, 4:48am: "Son Of Mouth Frog"

March 22, 11:30pm: Rowan’s comment on Ari @ottawa--centaurs ‘s post, “i'm gonna go to sleep now i hope ilya won't have been hit with a shrink ray or whatever when i wake up”

Loon!Shane (Shoon) AU Looniverse #loonposting Masterlist, Part 1

(finally! sorry for the delays!)

An attempt to round up all the posts about Shane Hollander in the form of a loon.

(please note all post time stamps are in my local time, which is currently Newfoundland Daylight Time (UTC -02:30) so they probably won’t line up with the time of posting either in the original poster’s time zone or yours, dear Reader. They are just there to establish a timeline.)

According to my research, loon!Shane is to Heated Rivalry AUs what crabs are to evolution. From what I can tell, the idea of Shane in the form of a loon has arisen arguably no less than seven separate times, independent of one another. 

The earliest recorded mention of Shane in loon form (that I could find on tumblr) comes from @rabbittush who, after watching Episode 6, was inspired by the exchange, “so now you speak bird, too.” “fluent.” and reblogged a gifset of that moment with the following tags: 

December 26, 9:19am: #imagine a fic… 

Since that date, he’s been posting fairly regularly about their ideas for the story they’re working on, with comments that seem to indicate that he has been doing research, maintains an ever-growing document with said research as well as their ideas, and has extensive lore in mind for the story. 

December 27, 3:17am: I’m really tempted to write a fic…

December 29, 8:04pm: references

January 20, 10:56am: #loon!shane

January 27, 1:52am: I wanna spend all my time finally researching loons…

January 30, 9:27am: I keep wanting to read… 

January 30, 9:37am: Guys hockey is literally so important.

January 31, 8:00am: #putting this in my fic document…

February 20, 9:22am: #loon!shane au

Three other instances of loon!Shane popped up in January: 

An AO3 fic, posted on January 6, titled “Covenant of Icarus” by Echo0112358, Part 1 (and, as of writing this post, the only part) of a series called “Ice and Quills.”: https://archiveofourown.org/works/77118156

January 21, 12:09am: This comment from @meret118 on a post about Shane’s hypothetical daemon (inspired by Hudson William’s comments on the Shut Up Evan podcast that if he were an animal, he would be a raccoon): what about a stupid Canadian wolf bird!... 

January 21, 2:20am: @swingsetindecember posted “crack fic where shane hollander is a wereloon,” and @underthestringlights responded at 10:48pm with a short snippet from one such imaginary fic: A howl sounds somewhere deep within the cottage's walls. Ilya freezes.

WAIT I FORGOT THIS ONE!!! February 28, 5:57pm: @atevanfool posted this picture of a tattoo of a loon holding a hockey stick in their beak!!

March 9, 9:52am: it’s just so crazy to me how no one’s doing shane as a loon au’s?... 

Less than two weeks later, as if brought into existence by rabbittush ‘s wishing, loon!Shane experienced a renaissance, kicked off by a cryptic, three-word post by @shillanov : 

March 22, 12:52am: shane loon au

Comments: 

@scunthotter : “Is...is he a wereloon...?”

@grabmyboner : “is he the loon? did a witch cast a spell and turn him into a loon and the only way to be turned back into human is true loves kiss? or is he like in some feud with a loon that is fucking up his veggie patch? so many questions”

shillanov: “Jackie accidentally turned shane into a loon,” and “but also the second one is so Good. also imagine if he was the loon fuckin up ilya’s veggie patch”

@immovabletype : “The Crane Wife but it's The Loon Husband, genre magical realism”

Then, shillanov expanded on the idea:

March 22, 12:59am: jackie accidentally turns shane into a loon…

THAT was the post that inspired a flurry of comments and reblogs, with many users “yes, and”-ing the idea and expanding this mini-AU. 

Note: rabbittush was, of course, delighted: #I’m so happy to see loon shane posting

Comments:

@hollzy-baby : “Ilya runs afoul of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act & is in the most trouble of his life until a wildlife officer tries to separate Shane the loon from Ilya & loses a finger”

shillanov: “literally assaulting every officer in sight and making those damn noises as he’s doin it”

hollzy-baby: “Jackie feeds all the wildlife officers 1 day blinding stew and true love’s kiss turns Shane back into Shane”

@smugrobotics : “Just imagining someone cross-checking Ilya in a game. The refs don't call it, the crowd starts booing, when suddenly a black blur streaks through the air as loon!shane launches himself at the offending player's face.”

@error404heymanotfound : “and ilya visibly loses a year off his lifespan every time the loon makes a noise”

@hollanovasupernova : “Is this the same universe as the fandom mass hallucination that jackie pike is a sorceress, marleau is a vampire and ilya his reincarnated liege lord?”

@myboyrozanovv : “Yes”

Comment from hardlyhinged: Loons actually suck at walking due to the positioning of their legs being so far back so not only would Ilya need to carry Shane around like a dumb baby, but he’d also need to interconnect a line of kiddie pools together throughout the house if Shane is going to get anywhere comfortably by himself (which he insists upon since he is an independent duck)

Hi! You can calll me krb (which can be pronounced like "curb" if you are so inclined). My pronouns are she/her and I'm a cis queer woman in my thirties.

I just really love Heated Rivalry. I especially love reblogging all yall's gifs, web weaves, moodboards, fanart, meta, headcanons, AUs, fics and jokes. I also love making masterlists of posts about certain topics! We call that HRchiving ☺️

At any time, if you want me to assign you a pretty/cool/weird/crazy/scary looking bird, just send me a 🐦 + colour(s) or vibe.

KRB's masterlists below the cut 😁
