You and Hartley, Cisco, you’re both brilliant. You both have mental Sparks. But his brilliance subtracted from the experience of working here, whereas your brilliance, your heart, your warmth, your humor, it just adds to it. There is no chosen one, Cisco. No second or third favorite. Never was. It’s just us.
—Harrison Wells to Cisco, The Flash, “The Sound and the Fury”
I've been thinking a fair amount about how Iris and Eddie's relationship was one in which they seemed fairly comfortable breaking down their respective celebrity hall passes with each other and then Iris and Barry's relationship is partially characterized by Barry's unrestrained, accusatory jealousy. You cannot imagine Barry and Iris making hall pass lists.
I honestly wish they'd dragged the Westallen out a bit more, because Barry's relationship with Iris grows so fractured in S1 because he keeps her out of the loop re: The Flash and because Barry can't seem to...get his endless unrequited thing under control for most of it? It's not until the end of the season that he really seems to get into a headspace where he can be friends with her without making that baggage her problem (or Eddie's problem), and then after Eddie dies that kind of doesn't stick.
After he and Iris get together, there's zero external pressure for him to retain anything from that headspace, so the progress between him and Joe and Iris about, like, "do not cut Iris out of the conversation to 'protect' her" and "Iris should not have to deal with you two endlessly judging every choice she ever makes because you think you can dictate what she does" disappears. His engagement to Iris sort of, in his head, validates the time he spent pining/unrequited, even though the inciting factor in their relationship changing is Iris, reaching out after he lost his speed. Barry didn't make it happen.
And there was such a good basis in S3 to strengthen their platonic relationship on the basis of Flashpoint and give Barry some kind of space to actually make amends to her? And instead the whole thing moves incredibly fast, actually so fast that I tend to expect relationship stressors to come from that quarter instead.
And, hey, marriage isn't the end of a relationship. It can very much be a beginning. You can say, this is it, let's get married and we deal with whatever comes up as it arises because I already know I'm committed to this course of action, that's totally fine.
I just don't think either of them thinks about it like that.

the average person with bad taste can be into some extremely banal garbage but when you get close enough to someone with otherwise good taste that they start a recommendation by going off on a preamble about how they don't necessarily recommend it you know you're seconds away from hearing about some real torturously wretched dogshit

Just from what we're given in the show, I think the more interesting angle on a "Hollanov are outed" plot point would not be the Hayden video but instead Yuna doing as she suggested and reaching out to her contacts at various large companies, and then months later a corporate data breach exposing emails or the tired, overworked assistant of one of those contacts leaving paperwork out where a journalist sees it.
Not anything that implies that Yuna was careless, but something about how she is operating in terms of managing mild scandal in a way that is completely unlike Shane and Ilya's low-risk high-security precautions. Yuna has relationships with these companies and is operating in a space of professional mutual respect, but she has trusted her son's image to an entity that primarily cares about its bottom line. Shane has spent years triple-checking his messages to Lily and making sure the taxi drops him off sufficiently far from Ilya's house. Yuna doesn't have those habits.

The Flash 2x08 "Legends of Today"
I've been grappling with this Oliver—Felicity—William thing for weeks and then today I was like whoa what if he just said the thing. that is happening. out loud. And it totally floored me.
I get so preoccupied thinking about how characters would deflect or repress things, and why, and when, and then how I could approach a concept from the side or frame a plot so that I can think about some point or another, that I often forget that I can also just write things out plainly. "Shane Hollander was upset, and being upset made him angry." Most characters are not totally un-self-aware, and I do not have to be in the most limited third person perspective possible at all times.
i referenced a couple of tony/bucky and tony/steve fanart for these but i fucking love olivarry
another one
I saw a post about Shane and Ilya being sad that they can't thank each other in their acceptance speeches like other can with their spouses and it got me thinking:
Ilya wins his first awards and hes got nobody he really wants to thank after his team and coach cause he he hates his family but he knows his speech is too short so on impulse he goes "And I want to thank Shane Hollander for being slightly worse than me this season". Everyone knows it was going to one of those two, so everyone thinks hes an asshole to say that but whats new so it works for him. But from then on it then becomes a bit for both of them to thank each other in their speeches in a snide way as a reason they won.
Shane winning the Art Ross Trophy (Awarded to the player who leads the league in total points at the end of the regular season). and going "special thanks to Rozanov for missing at least 5 shots this season, he was a huge help"
Ilya winning the Conn Smythe Trophy (Awarded to the most valuable player for his team in the playoffs.) "Just want to give a quick shout out to Hollander for getting knocked out in the second round this season. Must hate to see me up here."
They find a way to mention the other in their speeches every time all the time.
Shane’s favourite is when he won Most Sportsmanlike in 2018 and got to simply say “and of course, thanks to Ilya Rozanov”. It wouldn’t be SPORTSMANLIKE to thank Rozanov for being a dick (Ilya doesn’t get nominated for that award anyway), everyone _assumes_ the chirp is implied, Shane is being 300 percent honest.
Yuna struggles not to cry in public about it. David actually does tear up.
