Shane "Loverboy" Hollander. go watch him, go read him ❄️🏒

[iruutciv]

Hi I've been raised from the dead by a new ice gay show how is everyone else doing

[iruutciv]

Close-ups

[habitualfacepalmer]

AU about Yuna and David having a late life, brink-of-menopause-reproductive-last-hurrah oopsie baby when Shane is in World Juniors and how the balance of the Hollander family recalibrates to account for both Shane's baby brother and his professional hockey career, leading to a small but measurable amount of pressure to be taken off Shane's psyche by not being the only child but also kinda feeling adrift as so much attention goes to this new child who may be able to Perform Better than Shane (aka not be gay)

in this au this 9 year old is barging into the cottage after riding over on his bike to annoy Shane cuz he missed him on his stupid silent retreat why do you never wanna play w me

[habitualfacepalmer]

I have named him Chase

the media adores pictures of baby-faced Rookie Shane awkwardly holding an actual baby / his mini me when greeting his family after games

Chase adores Shane and seems to love hockey early on but really he's just feeding off the atmosphere, he has no clue what's going on

By the time Yuna and David strap him into skates, Chase is quickly discovering he has no actual interest in understanding what's happening on ice or taking part in it

Shane struggles even more so to relate to his supposed brother but also somewhat relieved that he doesn't have to worry about this kid coming up behind him in 15 years to be a better, more perfect hockey player and son, which is a feeling that Shane is very uncomfortable sitting with for long

by age 9, Chase is well and truly over hockey, resenting how much it seems to occupy Yuna and esp Shane

there are failed attempts at brother bonding sleepovers in Montreal when Shane isn't traveling but Chase never lasts the weekend without calling David

Chase likes basketball, it's what his friends play, it's more accessible, he and his friends can pick up and play just about anywhere, anytime

but he doesn't want to play it like Shane plays hockey and chafes at Yuna's attempts to foster his interests in it along those lines bc that's how Yuna shows her love

Chase just wants to goof off w his friends and have fun

He also likes Roblox and Minecraft, Steven Universe and Teen Titans Go, bike riding and his pet guinea pig

he likes so many things and feels like his brother isn't aware of or cares about any of them bc they aren't hockey (even tho Chase thinks his guinea pig and his brother have a lot in common)

Chase is boisterous and loud; he thumbs his nose at the media that cooed at his pudge ball self in Shane's arms, making a spectacle of his boredom and dissatisfaction at Montreal home games

Chase loves Shane but loudly proclaims his favorite hockey player is Ilya Rozanov, bc it's the only thing Chase has ever done that has gotten a big reaction out of his big brother

[habitualfacepalmer]

Chase's existence doesn't impact the trajectory of Hollanov too much because he spends 95% of his time in Ottawa with Yuna and David

2 key splits in the timestream, however:

Shane doesn't officially date Rose because shortly post-Tuna meltdown, Shane comes to terms with being gay more so on his own, having suffered a crisis over Chase being the more perfect "do-over" kid when Chase demonstrates a sincere crush on a girl in his class and come out the other side resigned to the fact that Shane can fulfill the star hockey athlete expectations as his parents' son while Chase (mind you, an 8 year old at this point) can eventually fulfill the heteronormative bring-home-a-nice-girl-and-give-their-parents-grandkids expectations. Rose still clocks Shane bc for all they hang out and the media is speculating, he is obviously not making a move, and Rose let's him know that's okay, offers to hook em up with Miles, etc. etc. Shane and Ilya are already in relationship limbo pre All Stars but All Stars is where Shane tries to hit the brakes on merely falling back into old patterns.

a 9 year old on a bike is much easier to chase down that an SUV. Like, Shane snatches Chase off that bike and Chase (who first felt a flush of boiling rage his tiny body could hardly contain that Shane's stupid silent retreat as an excuse to hang out and be friends with Chase's alleged favorite hockey player Rozanov, quickly followed by wave of shock and awe that his brother is kissing his favorite hockey player, mixed with relief that his brother isn't friends with Rozanov but boyfriends with Rozanov, and finally the gut-sinking realization that he's "in trouble" for what? he's not quite sure before bailing) is all squirmy and near in tears, promising simultaneously that he didn't see anything and that he won't tell. He means it, too. Chase wants to keep this secret for his brother, even if he doesn't completely grasp the gravity of it, because for him it's something they can finally share. Except, Shane realizes he can't ask his primary-school-aged little brother to keep this secret for him. He won't put Chase through that. So he sends him home on his bike while he talks (out a panic attack) with Ilya and they get dressed to drive over to the Hollander cottage down the road, arriving just when Chase has ditched his bike in the yard and is standing in the living room sobbing into David's arms but shaking his head refusing to explain anything as a confused Yuna watches through the window as Ilya Rozanov exits the passenger side of her elder son's JEEP.

with how much shane enjoys getting pinned down, i'm laughing about the idea of ilya who knows academically that he and shane are equally matched but who never really transfers that thought to the bedroom because he and shane playfight/wrestle as foreplay but shane enjoys "losing" these particular struggles and thus doesn't really ever use his full strength beyond the opening few seconds

which means the first time shane is riding him and is close to finishing and thus shoves him the FUCK back down when ilya is about to sit up and turn them hits ilya like a fucking FREIGHT TRAIN

man is getting held down with a hand to his chest with a force shane hasn't actually used in bed before and he is about to pass! out! from the force of the horny crashing over him

[penandinkprincess]

the idea of ilya edging and frustrating shane specifically to provoke him into slamming him down and holding him there to take what he wants

They move in together full time and Ilya notices that Anya acts differently with Shane than she does with him, more quiet and less playful, and he worries that means she doesn’t like Shane or is jealous, so he hires a dog trainer to come over and see if there’s anything they need to do to help

After a while of talking about how Anya acts the trainer says there’s nothing to worry about, Anya likes Shane just fine, it’s just that she sees him as the boss and is acting accordingly

And Ilya is like. But. I’m the one who adopted her? And raised her before Shane got here?? And the trainer is just like yeah well she sees you more like an equal. And Ilya is like WAIT she thinks Shane is in charge of both of us?? And the trainer is just like well do you interact in a way that would make her think that?

Ilya’s life flashes before his eyes as he thinks of all the times Shane has come over with a snack for Ilya and a treat for Anya, or all the times Shane has announced they’re all going for an after dinner walk, or pets Ilya’s hair and tells him he did a good job at practice, or the fact that he uses the same warning tone with Anya when she misbehaves as he does with Ilya when he’s causing problems on purpose

Shane comes home to Ilya with his face in his hands going oh god I’m not Anya’s dad I’m her brother and she thinks we’re both your pets. And Shane just goes. What.

Best Lead Performer, Drama Series is....Hudson Williams!

[academicblorbo]

Give him another award for best way to acknowledge and honour your co-star because holy shit

[the-ace-with-spades]

Thinking about that tweet when someone said Glen looks like a capybara in human form...

...And what if Bradley's favourite animal is a capybara because it reminds him of Jake (either because someone made the same joke and yeah, Bradley can see the capybara there or because he just came to that same thought on his own)

And that means he's got a lot of capybara themed things here and there... Magnets, keychains, socks, boxers, even a pair of swimming shorts, a vase shaped like a capybara, maybe even a plushie...

And this develops when he and Jake are broken up and he misses Jake and when they get back together, Jake is clueless but goes along with it in a 'guess my boyfriend is now a bit obsessed with capybaras, let's get him capybara stuff as casual gifts' and brings him capybara things for their dates because well, for some reason Bradley likes them and also because he always gets so red when Jake hands him a little capybara something

Heated Rivalry Week 2026 ↪ Day 2 | Favorite Looks: A couple of joint slays, and Svetlana in that t-shirt. Obvs.

[perlukafarinn]

They're shooting the shit in the Centaurs' locker room after practice and somehow the conversation gets around to hall passes, which then somehow, inexplicably, evolves into the guys talking about their 'exceptions'.

"Exceptions from what?" Shane asks, confused, only just now tuning into the conversation after spending the past ten minutes finishing up his routine (tm).

Dykstra shrugs. "Like you know how everyone has one person they'd theoretically go gay for?" Then, realizing who he's talking to, "Or straight for, I guess."

"I don't know," Shane says. This team really is different from the Metros. "Is this common knowledge?"

"Kind of," Holmberg chimes in. "Like for me, it would be Jason Momoa. I mean, have you seen those arms?"

Shane doesn't know who Jason Momoa is, so he just politely nods.

"I'd go for any of the Chrises, really," Hayes says. "Hemsworth, Pine, Evans..."

Ilya blows a raspberry. "Such basic answers. And this is blatant discrimination, how am I meant to play?"

"I'm picking that bartender at Monks with the snake tattoo," Young says, blatantly ignoring his Captain. "He seems like the sweet but dangerous type, you know?"

"It's not just celebrities?" Shane asks. "Are you actually gonna ask him out, then?"

Young shakes his head. "It's still just theoretical. I've never met a guy I'd actually go gay for but this is like... if I had to pick a guy."

"What about you, Hollander?" Dykstra asks, elbowing Shane. "Who's your exception? Theoretical, obviously, we know you're super gay."

"I'm regular-" Shane presses his lips together, annoyed. "Whatever."

"Don't be boring and say Rose Landry," Ilya warns.

Shane was gonna say Rose but as he pauses to think, he realizes he's got a better answer. "Actually, it would probably be Sveta."

Ilya blinks. "What?"

"Svetlana Vetrova," Shane says, like Ilya's issue is not knowing which Sveta he's talking about. "She's pretty, we get along great. And she knows everything about hockey, so we'd never run out of stuff to talk about."

Here is where Ilya should make fun of Shane for picking a beautiful woman he'd theoretically sleep with and only wanting to talk to her. About hockey.

That is what he would do, if his brain wasn't still lagging three paces behind. What the hell does Shane mean he'd go straight for Sveta?

"Nice pick," Dykstra congratulates him on. "She'd go for it, I think."

She would. This is terrible.

"Does that matter?" Shane asks, wanting to know the exact perimeters of this game. "Does that get you extra points?"

Dykstra laughs. "There are no points, it's not that kind of game."

Shane hums and promptly loses interest, realizing this is not something he can win at.

Meanwhile, Ilya is still quietly stewing over it would probably be Sveta. It's stupid and on some level, he knows that. Shane is super gay, no matter how he protests that moniker. Even if he wasn't, Ilya is it for him. There is nothing for Ilya to get jealous over.

Still, he should probably remind Shane who he belongs to. Thoroughly, over the course of a few hours.

Just in case.

A comprehensive collection of The Shirt™️!! 🫶🏼🥰 First worn by Shane at The Cottage, then adopted by Ilya during his stay, and finally swiped by Connor to wear off set. If we ever see Hudson in The Shirt™️ again, it will have come full circle. 🤝🏼

In an interview recently, Jacob said they had Ilya wearing Shane’s clothes because that’s just what you’d do if you were a couple spending two weeks together, and he wasn’t even sure the audience would notice. 😆👀 That’s back when he thought 11 people were going to see this show. He wasn’t counting on a fandom full of professional detectives.🕵🏼‍♀️

[lavenderprose]

There's never been a fandom ghost like Cliff Marleau. He's a vampire. He's an ally. He's a latent bisexual. He a little confused but he got the spirit. He's imprinted on Ilya like a duckling. He has three sisters, all of them lesbians. He is 42. He is 28. He's French Canadian. He's from Florida. He is being psychosexually tormented by his best friend's thot husband. He is Hollanov's platonic third. He has a beautiful, terrifying wife. He's made out with Ilya but they were in Paris it's chill. Of course he's slept with men he's a fucking hockey player. He is Ilya's ex-husband.

One thing about the Hollander men; if you hit them with a social situation they don't know how to react to, they will straight up leave ✌️

call that the Hollander Goodbye

[penandinkprincess]

thoughts and prayers to ilya, who is marrying into a family of flight risks 🙏

[sweetshirebones]

Ilya, some indeterminate time in the future, chasing after their toddler whose instinct is to do a runner the moment everyone starts standing too long, thus perfecting the Hollander Goodbye early: wow…genetic

Heated Rivalry Week 2026 | Day 7: Free Choice - Shane Hollander Tropes

[escapepodding]

Boring facts (in my head) about parent David Hollander:

New people at work when introduced to him go "oh, like Shane Hollander" and he BEAMS at that and says "Yep!"

Has a picture of Shane on his desk and the same new people think its a joke until an old timer who probably met Shane at a bring your kid to work day clued them in

Would not let Yuna touch the college fund they set up for Shane until he was out of his rookie contract. What if Shane changed his mind about hockey? What if he got injured and needed a good education? Only conceeded when his son was a multi-millionaire

Only time he has ever gone to HR was when someone stole the baby Shane picture off his desk after he got famous. That's his baby!!! Give it back!!! There were so many memos and all staff emails that it did get returned one night, but a picture of it circulated online so now David only has PR photos at work

His lawyer is an old college friend who he catches up with at least once a year and who reviews the Hollander's will and life insurance policy each year with specific instructions to look after Shane. This annual tradition continues to this day. The lawyer buddy is going to be there for that grown celebrity professional sportsman no matter what

Was so excited when Shane started The Cottage project, and helped him with everything, including liaising with the builders etc. Was delighted to have the first a joint project with his son since school (he helped with art/science/show and tell)

Is really bad with technology but the nice young people at the office help (is not fully cognizant of the fact half the office is in love with him but does correctly suspect the other half want to marry his son)

Always knew he wanted to be a dad, and was devastated when it seemed like that wasn't going to happen, but didn't want to put that on Yuna who was already struggling with it

Sent congratulation cards and presents to all his buddies when they had kids anf was genuinely happy for then but it also killed him a bit. Unfortunately the conversation around men struggling because they wanted kids was not happening in the 80s/early 90s so he kept quiet (and passed that trait on to Shane)

Thought Shane was perfect from the moment he was born, and still thinks that. Can't concieve of why Shane thought he could let them down, he's literally always been Yuna and David's perfect baby

Gets out the good vodka again when he tells Ilya this one day and Ilya starts crying
