Enough about sadness and the closet! I think Shane Hollander is an absolute ball on vacation. I think he likes that vacation is an organized time to relax, sanctioned off from training and working and winning. When he actually lets loose, like when they go to Ibiza after the wedding, heβs the guy in the bar whoβs like βgimme a drink with a little umbrella in it Ilya, like in the moviesβ and he and Ilya are the type who would meet like a random couple in their hotel and talk to them at the bar for hours and see them in the lobby and be like βoh look itβs you! Enjoy the sunshine!β And Shane would post a screenshot of the weather app showing 80 degrees and sunny every day to instagram and be like βwhen will it end amirite?β And heβs got the sunscreen and theyβre on a gay beach and he realizes he can put sunscreen on Ilyaβs back and theyβre just a couple guys on vacation with other apathetic gays and for the first time he blends in while being his real self! Heβs got so many patterned shirts and tiny shorts for Ilya to ogle him in! He wants to get fucked every day but he also wants to go on excursions to waterfalls and shit! Think of their inside jokes from vacation! For months into the next season theyβre like βthat guy with the penguin statue is coming to get youβ and nobody knows what the fuck theyβre talking about! Shane wants to see the world with Ilya outside of hockey rinks! And maybe inside. Ilya thereβs a game in Switzerland just over the border I think we can make itβ
