Once he accepts the reality of it Shane literally loves being in love— You can talk to me about anything. You can talk to me in Russian, I want to make you feel better. Come to my front door. Come to my cottage. Let me figure out a plan to keep you. We’ll figure something else out, okay?

It always flabers my gasters when someone is like "Oh wow I never thought of it like that before" with regards to Hollavov CNC or TPE or even just general D/s. And a lot of times these people follow it up with "Oh yeah it's not really obvious in the show but now that I think about it, it makes sense" like oh??? Oh good. But like. Question. And I'm going to put this as kindly as I possibly can. What do the words "I know how the staff likes to be treated after all these years" truly mean TO YOU. Like. What did you think he meant. When he said that.

i love shane so much :( it's peak shaney to ask questions that are kind of weird (i.e. 'sick like crazy??' and 'is it like... very upsetting??' and my favorite 'what will they do to you there???' re: ilya and russia LOL) but ultimately shane will use what he's learned from those questions to come up with a solution so simple and earnest like "well why don't you tell me everything that's on your mind, but in russian??? maybe it will help :)" like guh :'( ilya's so luckyy to have himmm shane just gets him and like pays so much attention to him and just LOVES HIM SOO MUCHHH :'( AND HE'S ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE BEST WAY ILYA CAN TALK ABOUT HIMSELF BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT'S HARD FOR HIMM :'(

[slow tender kiss] “stay.” and the whole damn time he’s rehearsing the I Love Pussy monologue in his head like oh yeahhh hell fucking yeah I’m gonna knock this one right outta the park

lowkey shane is the captain holt of hockey
