Breaking Habits The Perks of Shooting in Ottawa Madam Violet's Emporium of Delight

[perlukafarinn]

Shane does an interview after they're outed where he says, kind of off-handedly, that the one thing that still bothers him about having to keep their relationship secret for so long is that there are no pictures of them together as a couple from those years.

Someone clips it and it goes viral.

Over the next few days, Shane and Ilya's mentions start to get flooded with pictures. Mostly it's screenshots from various games they played against each other, meticulously picked through by dedicated fans to find every moment Shane and Ilya looked at each other on the ice.

Some screenshots get shared by hundreds of different people because they stand out so obviously: Shane and Ilya meeting each other's eyes during a face off; Ilya looking at Shane while his back is turned, naked longing visible on his face; Shane chasing after Ilya with a small but delighted grin.

There are also pictures from press events, award ceremonies, behind the scenes at All Stars. Seemingly any time Shane and Ilya got captured in the same frame gets dug up and shared.

Finally, a couple of weeks later, the director of Shane and Ilya's CCM commercial posts outtakes from their shoot. It's captioned 'Took a bit of digging but I knew I still had these somewhere! I had to make my contribution to the #HollanovArchives even though this must have been a while before they got together. These kids had crazy chemistry, right from the start!'

Shane hasn't responded to the onslaught yet, too overwhelmed by the (slightly terrifying) dedication of their fans as well as the fact that he now has dozens of pictures clearly displaying his and Ilya's love for each other during a time in their lives when it was so desperately hidden.

He does respond now, sharing the director's post with a sincere (and publicist-approved) caption thanking him and the fans.

Ilya also shares the post, tacking on 'yes if a while means a few hours 👅' like he didn't cry when Shane showed him the videos.

Jechtography took this gorgeous action shot of me performing at Fired Up Stilettos' Valentine's Day pop-up strip club. It was incredibly healing to dance and hustle again, free from the poor H&S and labour rights issues that so often mar the work. These pop-up nights prove that the industry we love can be better. I also adore finally having professional mid-performance action shots, after so many years in the trap. Staged pics are fine, but crowds are always best!

GAAAAAH, there are so many great posts to share on this topic but here is an excellent overview.

[heybaetae]

and if i said that tumblr thought they could get away with that update bc they know the majority of this website ignores the reblog option entirely compared to years ago, so they figured they could just BREAK the very foundation of how this website was built to operate and people would just shrug and be fine with that. please let this be a wake up call. our strong reaction to that change should start to reflect significantly in that ACTUAL reblog count under those notes we just fought for to stay untouched. fandoms and communities cannot thrive on likes alone. as much as tumblr has tried to turn this place in tiktok and twitter, it's not. posts need to circulate. art needs to be seen and shared. tumblr is not tumblr if this is not happening consistently because reblogs are the heartbeat of this website. please don't ever take it for granted. never give tumblr a reason to take away the thing that links us together and amplifies creativity. make reblogging a priority, PLEASE.

[woundedsoul12]

The fact there are more reblogs than likes on this post is a STATEMENT

[frownyalfred]

…you’re…welcome?

Actually, the reason to write that rarepair longfic that no one else is going to read is so you can go back and re-read it yourself when you're sad.

[the-bar-sinister]

Or horny.

Just looked up @agoodsoldier's blog and saw there is a second result with a modified ending that appears to be an ex or current military devout Christian dude

which by process of deduction probably means

(and I cannot overstate how funny I find this)

that that guy originally went to make a blog with the name "agoodsoldier" and at some point saw it was taken by a writer of hot queer smut

Which is possibly the most Tumblr dot com thing I have ever heard

I have so many questions. What did he do??? Do people he knows IRL ever click on the gay smut blog? Is he now a fan of The Original Good Soldier???

[bridferchglyn]

My TL is a good level of horny, but not nearly sapphic enough. Could some kind soul pls suggest blogs to follow to rectify this? 🥺

[ticklefighthockey]

I’m still aghast that ~9% of voters don’t think ilya rozanov eats pussy. they looked at that photo of him shirtless and grinning his little shit-eating grin and they clicked no. I think that man is so famous on the moscow club circuit that women clock him the second he walks in. and it’s not for being a hockey superstar

[bridferchglyn]

Ilya “Let me show you how to do this, kid” Rozanov?!?!? Please. That man loves giving head regardless of the interface in question. Fluent in multiple operating systems. Be for real.

Holding a consent workshop at the local university's sex week, and am blessed to have ex-GF @logandria sliding in for the art assist.

I love being a gay sex freak with a weird life 💜

Reading Swordmaster Girlfailure and I am actually CRYING it is so funny

@manorpunk I am in awe of you

[bridferchglyn]

Okay 17 chapters later & unsurprisingly this story has turned out to be SO much more than just funny (but still extremely funny)

@manorpunk may be the Shakespeare of our time

The orchestral covers in Bridgerton S5 are going to cause so many lesbian conniptions, it will practically be a hate crime.
