LADY BIRD (0.S.)

Why can't you say I look nice?

MARION

I thought you didn't even care what I think.

LADY BIRD (0.S.)

I still want you to think I look good.

MARION

I'm sorry, I was telling you the truth. Do you want me to lie?

LADY BIRD (0.S.)

No, I just wish... I wish that you liked me.

MARION

of course I love you.

Lady Bird comes out. Looks at Marion with the pure question:

LADY BIRD

But do you like me?

MARION

(faltering)

..I want you to be the very best version of yourself you can be.

LADY BIRD

What if this is the best version?

Ryan does not know about the Fanmail incident.

Ryan Price doesn't go on social media. He lives in Toronto with his boyfriend who doesn't like knowing about the hockey world, and talks only to his friends, who do not know anything about the Hockey world.

So Ryan... yeah Ryan does NOT know about the Fanmail incident. Ryan does not know his friends were outed. He is dutifully keeping a secret that everyone else knows. !!

Imagine his horror when he catches Shane and Ilya kissing at camp in front of someone! oh my god. did they not realize they could be seen? does he have to run interfernce? he can't do that?? Ryan Price is both one of the first and one of the last people to learn about Shane and Ilya.

yeah that's my emotional support sketching therapy

in switzerland reading hollanov fics on ao3, the way luca haas intended

[the-witch-of-the-wandering-ways]

My new period-appropriate crack headcanon is that the boston raiders once used akinator to figure out who montreal jane is and it kept telling them if was shane hollander and they kept thinking it was the weirdest fucking bug

[mutinsfromthemoon]

ilya and shane are gossiping through texts even though they’re in the same place and troy notices and goes “man, i can’t believe you guys are texting each other right now” and shane and ilya stop and put their phones back in their pockets and bood says “i can’t believe we’re gonna have to take your phones away like they do with teenagers” and ilya replies “you’ve already banned us from sitting together and now we can’t even talk to each other?” and troy goes “you guys can’t sit next to each other without retreating into your own little bubble and ignoring everyone else” and dykstra chimes in “besides, you two are sometimes extremely affectionate, you don’t need to rub it in our faces that our wives and harris aren’t here” and ilya sighs irritably and goes “just go ahead and marry a hockey player” and everyone at the table groans and troy throws a little napkin ball at ilya’s head and they flip each other off. and shane finally says something “we’ll behave, i promise” while stroking ilya’s leg under the table and ilya winks at him. the centaurs had to separate the two because quite simply once they get into a conversation they just can’t stop and they simply forgets that there’s people aroud them. unfortunately they really are each other’s best friends and now they sit far apart just to participate in get-togethers with their friends.

alternatively: shane comes out to his parents. no mention of boyfriend. so best momager and agent of all time yuna hollander asks around, does some sleuthing, goes undercover online and surveys the land for the most successful queer hockey player other than her son. imagine her surprise when she discovers from multiple sources that ilya rozanov might be gay. she arranges ads and promotions and sponsors for shane and ilya to do jointly. she hopes they hit it off and get together - only the best for her baby ofc - and she not so subtly asks after ilya from shane when they have a joint thing or an event where they meet. she is hoping, manifesting, praying and buying spells on etsy to have the two best hockey players in her family.

meanwhile every time shane and ilya meet up they fuck nasty, and ofc shane does not understand why his mom suddenly become a bears fan...

[mutinsfromthemoon]

ilya and shane are sitting side by side in the booth, being ridiculously affectionate like they always are, putting their foreheads together, rubbing noses, gently rubbing their faces against each other, giving each other a million little pecks all over. ilya’s arm draped across shane’s shoulders while he whispers sweet nothings in his ear and shane just giggles and looks back at him with the biggest heart eyes and ilya says smiling “i love you so much” and shane starts to say “i love—“ but gets cut off by someone clearing their throat and both of them look forward to find their friends sitting right in front of them and troy just groans “you guys are so annoying” and dykstra goes “i don’t know how they make me, a married guy, feel single” and wyatt says “i think they’re cute” and troy rolls his eyes and goes “of course you do” and then troy says looking between ilya and shane “you guys cannot refrain of touch each other for half an hour so you can hang with your friends?” and ilya just grins and goes “sorry guys, it’s just sometimes when two grown people love each other very much—“ and they all groan again and troy snarks “fuck off” and ilya, already having way too much fun keeps going “it’s just that when i’m with shane sometimes people around us just disappear and i can only see him” and he leans in to kiss shane’s face while shane flushed at the confession but doesn’t stop smiling at his husband and their friends just sigh loudly rolling their eyes and troy says “they’re insufferable” and dykstra goes “i bet if we leave those two right now they won’t even notice” and troy nods and they both get up and leave the booth and wyatt stays and shane and ilya stop for a second to look at him and wyatt goes “i think you guys are cute and if bood had come he would agree with me” and ilya goes “thank you hazy” and winks at him before going right back to kissing his husband, who is redder than a tomato but not putting a stop to anything ilya is doing and they’re just left alone in the diner, completely in their own world

Rolex invites Shane to the Royal Box at Wimbledon again and this time Shane accepts because Rolex specifically asked if he could bring his husband as well and fuck yes he can and together Ilya and Shane are ready to serve so much cunt. They both get dressed in some sharp, elevated summer suits, Ilya in Versace and Shane in Gucci, the dramatic sunglasses & the bitchiest, judgiest mogging are ON, they mirror each other as they cross their legs; occasionally they're holding hands or sit with Ilya's arm around Shanes waist, they are the epitome of power husbands & this is their playground. Do they have one clue what is going on on the court? Of course not. That doesn't stop them from having a fabulous time showing off each other. They know they steal the limelight looking as devastating as they do, together. Turns out these dreadful PR appointments are actually incredible fun when you have your husband/best friend/soulmate with you and Shane can't imagine how he ever did this without Ilya.

Now picture this, occasionally they whisper into each other's ears, sometimes its just sweet nothings and sometimes it's some devastating chirps about tennis, and each time a precious smile breaks through, only for each other, but it drives the photographers wild.

(afterwards, Ilya is excited to have the perfect summer with Shane where they fuck their way across europe)

blessed with the divine vision that bb shane was a fucking STICKLER for equal application of rules when he was an itty bitty. he'll accept the rules just fine, but they will now be HOUSEHOLD rules.

and most of the time it's fine. shane's bedtime is 7:30 pm because he is so itty bitty, but yuna and david have always just gone to their room after that so bb just assumed they were also following The Time To Sleep rules.

which is all well and good until nana is visiting while staying with her sister, it's 7:40 pm, and she is just cooing and delighted at bb shane just repeating "night NIGHT" over and over from the doorway to the living room because she is not understanding that this is not him being cute and saying goodnight.

this is attempted enforcement of the rules because nana, it is time for NIGHT NIGHT and you are clearly NOT ready for night night, and to TOP IT ALL OFF!! YOU ARE KEEPING MAMA AND DADDY FROM NIGHT NIGHT. RULES!! BROKEN!! RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS LITTLE BABY FACE. >:(

and he’s wearing Snoopy footie pajamas….babyyyyyy

[moetxt]

i tried making a contrapuntal poem for hollanov, which can be read 3 ways: shane’s side alone, ilya’s side alone, or both sides together. inspired by the long game.

[argillaforma]

i love shane because in some ways he's just so Jock and so Boy like he has zero houseplants (except for maybe a cactus or two) because he doesn't care and he forgets to water them and his house would look like shit without a designer because all his walls would be metros blue and he has to hire someone to tell him what kind of clothes to wear and his favourite thing is Sports but i just know he also doesn't play about his microfiber cleaning cloths and he stores leftovers in glass containers instead of plastic containers because microplastic and you have to use the back entrance on rainy days because he doesn't want mud on his nice floors

[hollanovbiter]

i love when shane hollander just looks like a Big Loser. big loser energy. with his dweeby ass haircut and his hands in the pockets first day on earth stance and this stupid little smile on his face. like what an absolute fucking loser! and i love him!
