So, I was thinking about aThe Long Game and Ilya’s very muted reaction to the video leak. When Hayden fesses up, Shane is freaking out. And he’s expecting Ilya to yell at Hayden for blowing up their lives. But instead Ilya forgives him almost immediately. Even though he and Hayden have never gotten along, and even though it could put him in danger (since he doesn’t yet have Canadian citizenship).

It seemed weird, but then I thought about it some more. And realized why Ilya is so quick to forgive a man he dislikes for a piece of monumental carelessness:

1. ⁠They were already planning to come out after playoffs ended for both teams and get married in July. The video leak in March just moves the existing timeline up by a few months.

2. ⁠Ilya spends most of The Long Game wishing he could proclaim his relationship with Shane from the rooftops. He’s sick of hiding. The WAY it comes out is a fucking disaster, but actually being out as the man Shane loves is something he wants. Psychologically, he’s already made peace with the fact that he’ll never see his mother’s grave again and could run into passport problems in future.

3. ⁠He knows his teammates and management will be supportive, because Troy Barrett just came out to them last month. Totally different situation from Shane, where his teammates and management already know he’s gay and refuse to ever talk about it (except for Hayden and JJ).

4. ⁠Ilya has rock bottom self-esteem. Even if he was fucking furious at Hayden, he’d never ask Shane to choose between his fiancé and his best friend. Because deep down, Ilya isn’t sure Shane would choose him. Look at the Roger Crowell scene in TLG. Ilya’s mentally preparing himself for Shane to take the out and release the “it was just a prank” statement Crowell and the league want. He’s not expecting Shane to say, “I choose him. Come on Ilya.”

rode boston metro for the first time in while.

the red line was good, i rode it for 20-30 minutes in and out of boston. we only had to stop for couple minutes to let another train out the station.

the green line was less good. we came to multiple complete multi minute stops during my ride from two almost consecutive stops (there was only one stop in the middle)

although, for all my bitching, the green line wasn't terrible. the wood paneling and the fact that is two feet off the station floor gave it some charm.

in all, you did okay, mbta. would (and probably will) ride again.

In the end, it’s the aunties who kick out men from the women’s coach in metro who are the real heroes
