every hockey team i‘ve been rooting for at the olympics ended up losing so i‘d like to issue a formal apology to the nations of canada, sweden and germany

okay but your gifset of shane and ilya hugging got me thinking about how yes they've always been soft and sweet and tender about each other (even if they wouldn't/didn't want to admit it at first) but how they didn't fully allow themselves to hold hands or hug or touch just for the sake of touching without it necessarily leading to more until the cottage (and the car ride there obviously; i'm still not over ilya cradling shane's hand between his own) but once they got over that threshold they couldn't stop themselves from looking and touching in the softest of ways and whisper even softer i love you's and just. existing together. annnnnnnd i don't remember where i was going with this but!!! season 2 soft tender boyfriends i hope they hold hands always okay that was all i got (for now) <3

they have! it was an active mental fight for them to not show the tenderness. stupid boys. but during ep 6 (and mixing in some book canon), they just ping-ponged encouragement to each other in small ways. shane saying i'm glad you're here. ilya holding his hand. and so on. and god in the book like there's this line ilya says like "can i tell you i love you again?" like they can't stop! once they opened that lid it was doneeeeee!

and me too i can't wait for them to be open with their affection. s2 is gonna be a lot of internal work for them but they are sure they want to be together forever so we have that!!! 😭🩵

"#ilya should pick up shane in every episode" ilya should just constantly carry shane around for the entirety of season two. is it logistically doable? no. do i care? also no. i want it and it should happen.

Yes, whenever they're together, Ilya immediately hoists him up and carries him around like a koala bear. They'll make it work. I have faith in them.

#throwbackthursday Here is a photo from May 2012. Marble House is located in Newport, #RhodeIsland. Designed as a summer cottage for Alva and William Kissam Vanderbilt by architect Richard Morris Hunt, it was built between 1888 and 1892. In 1963 the Preservation Society of Newport County (@newport_mansions) purchased the #mansion. It was added to the @NationalRegisterNPS on September 10, 1971 and designated a National Historic Landmark on February 17, 2006. #ri #rihistory #newportri #newport #SpreadTheHistory #historygirl #history #archi_ologie #architecture #travelblog #travelblogger #blogger #blog #ushistory #americanhistory #newportmansions #marblehouse #nrhp #tbt #explore #roadtrip (at Marble House) https://www.instagram.com/p/Boh9qTrB8OF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=atcznkpk1g74
