Only make desicions out of spite

25 🔱 she/her 🔱 asexual

The lack of high school reunion fics is concerning. Shane's grad class would ABSOLUTELY invite him to their anniversaries and make sure he knows he's invited. He doesn't go to the 10 year one because What Would Be The Point. But you know that the second that invitation arrives in the mail for the 20 year anniversary (don't ask how they found Shane's address. The women on the organizing committee do NOT play around and they can find out anyone's blood type if it was relevant to the anniversary gathering), you KNOW that Ilya would find the invitation in their mail and ask Shane about it. You KNOW that the moment he understands what it's for, he demands they go.

Ilya would want to play the role of trophy husband and be shown off to Shane's former classmates. Ex-girlfriend Jessica will be there? Hollander, I have to see her face when I show up on your arm. (No, I am not jealous over high school relationship. But does she know you shook my hand TWICE while you were still with her?) Classmates who are jealous you went to the NHL while they could not shoot a goal if their life depended on it? You are hockey god, Hollander. You MUST brag about all your trophies and cups.

Not to mention all the headcanons that every closeted gay classmate had a crush on Shane. Ilya would sniff them out in less than a minute. Oh, you think you would have had a shot with Shane Hollander if you knew he was gay back then? That's adorable. I had him obsessed with me since before you graduated with him. You Never Had A Chance.

And of course Shane barely remembers any of these people, so he doesn't know how to make introductions. Since he doesn't know most of their names, he just says, "Hello. This is my husband, Ilya." And you KNOW that this is doing something to Ilya, to be openly out as Shane Hollander's husband to people who knew Shane at a moment in time when Ilya didn't know him as well. He would interrogate everyone about Shane and wouldn't bother to learn anything about them unless it was relevant to building a better picture of teenager Shane in his mind.

This season was made to torture me specifically

everyone rejoice, Ao3 is back

[giveemhales]

Some Hollanov fics available through the wayback machine to get you through these trying times (ao3 is down). Feel free to reblog with other links if you have any. And be sure to go back to leave kudos/comments on these fics once the site is back up!

Ilya visits Shane in the hospital and meets his parents. He's traumatized and grieving, everything hurts, and Shane takes after his mother.

Something you can fix by some1_around M, 26k

Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

Clear to a hedgehog by magneticwave E, 12k

Every Boston Raider knows that although their captain has a girl in every port, he’s got a soft spot for the one in Montreal. Dr. Shane Hollander knows it’s better to have a semi-regular source of casual sex than try to make a relationship work during residency. Ilya Rozanov knows that the doctor he’s fucking in Montreal is unaware that he plays hockey, and in fact probably thinks he’s Bratva.

Sarah

Does anyone have the number for Shane's girl from Boston? I feel bad that they've been seeing each other for this long and we've never added her here.

Jackie

Oh good point! Let me ask Hayden.

Jackie has added Lily to the conversation

Lily

what is this

Or: Ilya Rozanov is, apparently, one of the girls.

The Waiting Game by Rizandace T, 16k

Hayden Pike and Ilya Rozanov are waiting for Shane to wake up after he took a bad hit on the ice. They get to talking.

Chapter 2: Ilya and Shane talk about what it means, now that someone knows their secret.

Chapter 3: Shane and Hayden hash out the big reveal.

Chapter 4: Ilya tells Svetlana the big secret.

Shane Hollander's Unofficial Fan Club by rachelrae T, 9k

The Ottawa Centaurs accidentally end up being the Shane Hollander Unofficial Fan Club. And now, with Ilya on the team, Shane Hollander is always there! Wow!

Another great thing about Heated Rivalry on the meta-meta level is the fact that Connor Storrie has so many moles. Because in my native language the word for mole is literally mother's mark and we have this folk believe that they represent your mother's love for you. Because it "leaves marks on you".

That means that Ilya is covered head to toe in physical embodiments of his mother's love for him. He has so many moles, he is so loved.

And there is no way this could've been an active casting decision, because why would it be? It just shows that Connor Storrie was destined to play mama's boy Ilya Rozanov

(And don't even get me started on the big mole on his cheek, that is like prime cheek kissing location)

It's pride month so shout out to the girl who pointed at the ace flag stitched onto my jacket and went "you're trans?"

European Citizens' Initiative

Give your support !

EVERYONE(!) I’m blazing this post because at this pace we might barely hit 1,000,000 signatures—or just fall short. PLEASE reblog this post, no matter where you are from, so we can reach as many EU citizens as possible and end this horrible practice!

The only thing keeping me together after this episode is that in the last scene in Jackson you can see in the background that at least some of the dogs survived

Odyssey AU where Odysseus takes Astyanax with him instead of killing him.

Plotwise everything stays the same, Odysseus just has a baby permanently strapped to his chest for the entirety of the story.

[uno-gang]

When writing this, I did not consider that the Odyssey takes 10 years. For most of the story Odysseus has a toddler and a first grader.

starting to suspect that tech bros actually just don’t know what reading is

[menaceanon]

I know I just reblogged this but I think the really important takeaway here is that this techbro is not genuinely asking “how can we improve fanfiction?” What he’s asking is “how can we tap into this massive market?”

I keep thinking about how many of these chat bots are free—for now. And of course they are! It’s a classic marketing technique when you’re trying to get your foot in the door with a novel product: let folks use it, let them get used to it, then start charging for it. You don’t have to look any further than streaming to see a very recent example of how this happens.

And it’s going to happen with AI.

There’s nothing these assholes love more than making money off of other people’s hard work. But you can’t legally charge for fanfic! So how do you get around that? You charge for a chat bot (which you trained on other people’s fanfic). You can’t charge for the content, but you can charge for the thing that produces the content.

AI is theft, and there are a whooooole lot of people gleefully looking to make a buck off of our hard work.

Don’t use AI, don’t feed AI your favorite fic writers’ and artists’ work, don’t read AI fic, don’t engage with it. And if you do, well, I can’t force you to give a shit about other people, but AI is a paywall being built, brick by brick, between you and the things you love. Stop slathering on the mortar.

i hate seeing people now making fun of those who care about privacy online. i've seen people saying things like "well they already have your data. what are companies going to do with it" and it's like, that's not the point. it's that companies /shouldn't/ be able to have my data and sell it. am i aware they probably already have my data? yes, absolutely. but i'm still going to try and keep them from monetizing it any further, why are we defending companies selling data they shouldn't have to begin with though?

I have like ten different ad and/or tracking blockers on my PC and phone... just out of pure spite

[coolestglalie-intoxicatedinkeep]

Can link it? I wish to hop aboard that train.

@drunkenbartend

Firefox with build in tracker protection

Ublock Origin adblocker for Firefox

Adguard adblocker for firefox, for everything that gets past Ublock

Mullvad VPN, one of the most reliable, cheapest and safest VPNs at the moment

DuckDuckGo android app that blocks trackers for every app on your phone

DuckDuckGo for firefox for blocking trackers and the likes

SponsorBlock for firefox, skips the sponsor segments of youtube videos

Adaway Adblocker for android (works much better with root access but doesn't require it)

Is there any benefit to using multiple ad blockers at once? I honestly don't know, but I haven't seen a single ad on the internet in ages and I get to use this image:
