I love heated rivalry. I love Shane. I love Ilya. I love the side characters. I love Hudson. I love Connor. I love hudcon. I love Jacob. I love that whole cast and how much they seem to truly love each other and are so proud of their show. I love that it’s an unashamed, pure sunshine celebration of love. I love that it was made for 45 Canadian dollars and it sometimes it shows. I love that mainly though, it doesn’t show, because everyone brought their A++++ game. I love that people love it. I love that they stay up all night to watch pirated live streams of award shows that they’d previously never heard of. I love that they get frothy in anticipation of the met gala outfits. I love that they crash out over the magazine drops and the original scripts and the $400 maple leaf fleeces. I love the head canons. I love the fan fics. I love that they created Big Hud and Connie from Admin, and vampire Cliff Marleau and handwashing the Rick Owens. I love the rpf (sorry Hudson). I love that social media platforms come close to tapping out every time there’s new photos. I love that people watch the press tour videos with the same reverence as episodes of the show. I love that the groomers and the stylists are on first name terms and almost like family. I love the lore (“can you believe they filmed Vegas on the first day!”) I love the anticipation and the theories for season 2.

There are people who sneer at fandom. Or think it’s OK for a sports team but not for anything else. Because that’s the difference between more female fandom and more male fandom? Maybe. Who cares. They can keep their sports. I love heated rivalry.

SHANE WEEK | day 1: favourite moment

[uninspiredusername2]

When three lines are the basis of an entire show

[lavenderprose]

Ilya is so lucky that Shane proposed. Ilya would have been a nervous fucking wreck for the entire day beforehand. Wake up in the morning. Look in the mirror. Today's the day. Sob. Breathe. Okay I'm good! Turn around and Shane's hair is all in his face, still asleep on Ilya's pillow. I am NOT good. Cold shower. Breakfast that Ilya does not eat. Morning jog wherein Ilya runs like someone is chasing him. Lunch that Ilya does not eat. Drive out to the cottage. Make Shane pull over because Ilya needs to dry heave on the side of the road. "Baby we don't have to drive out today if you're not feeling well." "NO WE HAVE TO." Get to the cottage. Immediately send Shane on some kind of extended fool's errand. Shane wants to stay because Ilya is SHAKING and he is so worried. "No my love I'm fine it's just the breeze off the lake haha." It's thirty fuckig degrees Celsius. Shane finally gtfo's. Yuna, David, Rose FUCKING Landry all descend to help Ilya set up. Well. Ilya is supposed to be helping but he is standing on the deck fully dissociating. Yuna brings him tea. "Are you going to throw up the tea?" "Yes probably." Yuna takes away the tea. 800 electronic tea lights on the deck. In a parallel Ilya has no way of understanding, he both puts on and takes off a suit. Yuna fixes his curls into the hockey boy quasi-mullet that magnetizes Shane's fingers to Ilya's hair and says, "Oh, you're so handsome!" Ilya cries big fat tears. David tells a story about how his proposal to Yuna almost didn't happen because David went to the hospital for heart palpitations that morning. Thank You David That Does Not Help Even Remotely. Ilya slav squats on the lawn for twenty minutes. Shane's car pulls up in the driveway and everyone hides while Ilya vibrates in the entryway. Shane has no less than thirty grocery bags hanging from his arms, still complaining about why the grocery service cancelled their delivery last minute. Ilya leads Shane and all thirty of his grocery bags onto the deck. Shane is doing his favorite thing (bitching) and his second favorite thing (Follow Ilya) so he doesn't notice his own mother tiptoing behind him collecting the grocery bags he drops like breadcrumbs. There is an Oscar-winning actress hiding under his sofa and Shane does not notice because Ilya takes him on the deck and drops to his knees and Shane is like, "Haha, right now?" and then he sees that Ilya has a look on his face like he's just been told the sun is never coming up again and he has his hands on Shane's knees and he is saying, "Shane. Please?" and Shane puts his hands on his head and says "Oh my God baby what's happening to you" as Ilya melts and melts and then from the depths of the cottage someone who sounds a lot like Shane's very own father is whispering "The ring the ring" and when he looks back down Ilya is fumbling a ring box out of his pocket. The first picture of their proposal is Shane glaring into the middle distance with a hand cradling Ilya's curls like a baby while Ilya ugly sobs into his knee.

I’ve thought about it a lot, and studied all the evidence, because it’s important to get this kind of thing right. But we can all rest easy, as I can now confirm that Connor is the most beautiful man in the world. And Hudson is the most handsome.

[argillaforma]

i don’t know if there’s a specific name for this but that thing where one person uses their finger to ‘draw’ on the other person’s back and the other person has to guess what they drew and i’m just thinking about ilya laying flat on his stomach and shane sitting on the back of his thighs tracing his finger along ilya’s back and ilya guesses them all because shane draws like a house, a dog, a hockey stick, a heart and shane can never guess what ilya is drawing because no you are wrong again shane, is me and you swimming at the cottage, no this is me scoring ten goals on hayden pike while he cries…yes i know he is not goalie but i still score on him, this is clearly me fucking you on the hood of my car, shane you are so bad at this

Endless gifs of Ilya Rozanov 18/∞

[keasusreevsus]

Do you think they have a situationship? (x) (x)

[gaysie]

[actuallysara]

Edited "I love you" scene to make it even more painful if possible

[uninspiredusername2]

I’ve watched this maybe 20 times and that face, that exact face that Hudson pulls after “I love you so much” before he kisses his forehead? I recognise it because I have felt myself making that exact same expression in real life. How does he do it. How does he do it?? Award winning-actor Hudson Mildred, the people who said your acting was flat have to be laughing on the other side of their stupid faces.

Imagine you’re Rachel Reid and you invented Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander in your own mind. And then someone asks you if you would be open to having your books adapted into a TV show. And you think… MY books? OK sure.

And you get invited to the set and there’s a bit of trepidation, because you have spent so much time with these characters in your own brain, you have such firm ideas about who they are, and why they do what they do, and what they’re really thinking, no matter what they actually say. So, what if you don’t like it? Maybe you didn’t even sleep the night before with anxiety. Because it’s all out of your hands now. And, you know. Unknown actors. How good can they be?

And then. Your story is being directed by Jacob Tierney and Your Guys are standing right there in front of you in real life, breathing and moving and playing hockey. And then AND THEN they’re being played by Hudson fucking Williams and Connor fucking Storrie. Imagine. Just imagine that.

i don't know how u "pretend" fuck ur hot co-star like that 50 million times & not develop Smth btw. are u serious i can't even think the second i see connie nips like that's my chew toy.. 😮‍💨

[fuckrozanov]

what happened hudconuinely may 5th 2026 can never happen again

[uninspiredusername2]

Nothing like being on a train surrounded by the general public with eyes to make you realise how much of your dash is Ilya Rozanov’s tits and Hollanov fucking in slow motion

[ilyarizzanov]

will I be burnt at the stake if I say that I don’t think Ilya’s fuckboy persona is entirely an act. will people draw and quarter me if I say that I think he is a different person with different people and none of them are entirely separate from who he is. will people stone me if I say that ilya loved being a fuckboy and loved sleeping around at the time and had a fucking blast doing what and who he wanted even if he wanted to be with shane for most of it.

Like I think people eschew that persona from him too aggressively in favor of making him a Soft Boi but there are multiple facets to ilya and I dont think any of them are necessarily fake. Just because he used promiscuity to cope doesn’t mean he didn’t have a marvelous time participating in it. That man loved pussy. He loved fucking pussy and eating pussy and making women come and whine his name. You cannot convince me otherwise. He was a very proud slut. Just because Shane made a housewife out of a hoe doesn’t make the Hoe Phase not genuine. U feel me?

I’m absolutely dreading time being wasted on the other GCU people ngl if it ain’t hollanov idgaf. Part of me almost wishes that HR was just left as a perfect 5 (episode 3 doesn’t exist to me) episode miniseries.

same......because I do think it's eminently doable and arguably improves the giant messy ball of yarn that is TLG to cut the fat with all the unnecessary character cameos. keep em like the ryan price mention - just a nod or an easter egg to the fans with spinoff potential.

if it were meeeeee adapting (hiiiiiii papa T) I would cut the entire hockey camp storyline in favour of maybe 1 scene (showing Ilya being good with kids, which is essentially the whole point of those two ENTIRE CHAPTERS). you can have them double-date with scott and kip, nice way to reuse francois and robbie instead of casting ryan and fabian for the purposes of that scene only (which is important, to show how desperately Ilya wants to be out and how deeply uncomfy Shane is). everyone else is literally irrelevant or already part of the cast (e.g. hayden, jj). obviously we can't entirely avoid the centaurs but they managed the balance of teammates in s1 quite well so trust it'd be on a similar level. obviously we know Troy Actor will have to be there with his boyf Harris Apple but I've made my peace with that. also fyi I would cut the role of farah the agent to use yuna more.

then we keep it niiiice and clean(ish), ep 1 things are nice for them, we can have our scott & kip cameo then bye-bye, maybe 2 can be dedicated to role model, ep 3 hollanov tension begins, ilya gets therapy, shane eating disorder stuff, ep 4 fake wedding & troy/ilya/centaurs bonding stuff, 5 halloween/christmas fight/plane crash 6 happily ever after no chairs wedding
