Assorted Puzzle Pieces

Shane & Ilya vs Hudson & Connor

Heated Rivalry is already a romance AND a workplace drama. Expecting it to also be a commentary on toxic sports culture is like asking Grey’s Anatomy to be a commentary on the flaws of the healthcare system in the US.

To be clear I’m not saying we don’t need commentary on toxic sports culture.

Gonna take some inspiration from @raincitygirl76 and reblog my favorite tags on these posts as I get them.

From @sweetladyjustice again, yes, this exactly. And not even just that readers should be able to infer things, but also that for the genre, it’s necessary that readers infer things rather than have it all explicitly laid out in order for the story to work & maintain a certain expected tone.

All of this from @livesbetweenpages

shane (a little tipsy) being cornered by a few fans at a bar one night and they ask him what’s the best thing about coming out, expecting him to say something motivating like self-expression and liberation and shane just goes

Feels like a good time to remind certain people that this is coming from Judith Butler, who is not just a leading feminist philosopher, but also THE COFOUNDER OF QUEER THEORY

This is the 85 year old creator of Roger Rabbit:

Rolex invites Shane to the Royal Box at Wimbledon again and this time Shane accepts because Rolex specifically asked if he could bring his husband as well and fuck yes he can and together Ilya and Shane are ready to serve so much cunt. They both get dressed in some sharp, elevated summer suits, Ilya in Versace and Shane in Gucci, the dramatic sunglasses & the bitchiest, judgiest mogging are ON, they mirror each other as they cross their legs; occasionally they're holding hands or sit with Ilya's arm around Shanes waist, they are the epitome of power husbands & this is their playground. Do they have one clue what is going on on the court? Of course not. That doesn't stop them from having a fabulous time showing off each other. They know they steal the limelight looking as devastating as they do, together. Turns out these dreadful PR appointments are actually incredible fun when you have your husband/best friend/soulmate with you and Shane can't imagine how he ever did this without Ilya.
