lee felix enjoyer and shane hollander understander

perhaps ser hollander and ser rozanov do not compete so fiercely in the tourney to vie for the princess’s affections but because they desire one another? nay i jest…….. lest?

Ilya cannot commit to a lockscreen so he has a full album of pictures that rotate. Pictures of him and Shane looking happy and disgustingly in love, pictures from Shane's photoshoots where he looks mouthwateringly hot, a couple of pictures of Anya though Shane is also featured in some of them, pictures of Shane at various events looking distinguished and dapper and also still so hot, a few from their wedding day. Every time he picks up his phone and sees that the picture has switched he gets a soft little smile on his face, just taking a moment to look at it before unlocking his phone, heart eyes on full display. It's a running joke among the Centaurs that if Shane isn't around on a night out, Roz is not allowed to look at his phone or he's going home immediately.

Shane's lockscreen is Ilya grinning at the camera, still in hockey gear, hair damp with sweat, his lip split and bleeding from a fight on the ice.

Big fan of the idea that centaurs Shane and Ilya are a devastating duo when it comes to chirping players they don’t like. Some homophobe from Toronto says their marriage isn’t real, so Shane gives a scathing review of faults the player didn’t even know he had, while Ilya is like this is why your wife left you and you can only see your kids every other weekend and some holidays. Bet last Christmas was lonely, huh? The rest of the centaurs are like ???? how tf do you even know that??? Troy Barrett sheds a single tear of joy knowing that he never has to play against them again. Next time they play Toronto that player won’t look them in the eye.

zounds! my squire doth inform me that ser hollander and ser rozanov bequeathed one another a token before their joust... and that flirtatious words were exchanged betwixt them on the field of play... which mayhaps meant nothing at all...

My idea of myhollanov’s texting frequency/habits post-Heated Rivalry make me 🥹 I see their positions flipping a little and suddenly shane is always texting first and being clingy and concerned and boyfriendy where ilya is used to being the pursuer but now it’s not abt pursuit it’s about comfort and ilya brings shane comfort so he’s always like “i miss you already” “good morning, how did you sleep?” “just wanted to say hi and that im thinking about you” “i hate that you had to leave” like his earnestness really comes into play for me here and i just love thinking of double-texter sweetie pie shane once they’re boyfriends

Out of all the heated rivalry analysis I’ve seen I’ve never seen someone mention that after the all star game Shane no longer drafts and deletes texts. He says what he intends to say the first time and stops editing and second guessing himself and it’s one of my favorite details showing that their dynamic has changed and no one talks about it
