I don't like to get personal.

And, look. Yuna has been around hockey culture a long time. She knows why Shane begged her not to drop him off too close to the rink in juniors so his teammates wouldn't catch a glimpse of her. She knows what half the insults tossed around on the ice are about. She's not an idiot. So when this cocky upstart kid starts approaching her at these shindigs, all adolescent swagger, thinking he's soo slick and subtle with whatever kind of mind game he's obviously playing with her son, she has half a mind to cut him off before he can even work up any steam.

“All this talk of Hollander, Hollander, Hollander but I did not know he had big sister" is the kid's opening line.

And she shouldn't laugh – that's obviously the reaction he's aiming for – but he's really selling it, is the thing; his performance deserves at least that much recognition.

“I'm his mother,” she says, playing along.

And oh, he's good – his sharp eyebrows immediately jump into his thick tangle of curls, mouth dropping open in shock that, for all intents and purposes, looks utterly sincere.

“But this cannot be true – you are much too young to have teenager, Miss Hollander.”

And God, this kid. He really is laying it on thick. “I think you'll find I definitely am old enough – and a son your age, no less” that last part she says a little pointedly. She can lay it on thick, too. “And it's Mrs Hollander, actually.”

And Rozanov's eyes are glittering, all mischief when he says, “Ah. Your husband is very lucky man," and no, that is quite enough of that.

And even though she shoos him away, he always comes to circle her skirts at every event they both attend, playing up the simpering flattery, and Yuna, despite herself, is reluctantly charmed. If this is what the kid is like at nineteen, she can't even begin to imagine him when he was younger - he must have gotten away with everything.

Honestly, she finds herself thinking, exasperated, every time she spots him approaching with that impish grin, where is this boy's mother?

And then she finds out. And suddenly, she's asking David if they can invite Rozanov out to lunch because, well, he's going to be in their son's life for a long time, it's good to build rapport with Shane's peers, even if they're competitors.

but ilya's already whipping out his phone like 'i will text him.' and shane is like 'do NOT text him' and pulling a kip grady like 'he's straight. i think.'

and ilya is one of those people who thinks that everyone is a little bit queer and even if they're not he can make them queer (in his defense, he's never been wrong). and ilya is like 'shane be serious. do you really think anyone in MLH would turn down a threesome with US? you know why they call you hollpass.' and shane is like 'ohmygod shut UP.'

I recently had a similar experience.

I hope you have a similar experience, and soon, and with the same result.

Then among the car havers, the most common kind is a 20 year old sedan that was purchased for $2,400 and will be driven until the rims weather into sediment and become a new kind of sedan sedimentary rock called a sedanimentary rock. The second most common kind of car is a Subaru purchased by two lesbians who are no longer in a relationship but remain good enough friends still to be effective car co-parents.

So I wouldn't even answer this ask EXCEPT it's a fantastic example of someone who hates you and wants you to undermine your cause pretending to be on your side, so let's go through the points.

1.) Makes the assertion that you've already failed eight months in advance. Wants you to give up and give in because you think the cause is already lost.

2.) Implies that everyone else is secretly gonna do it, so you may as well too. Wants to chip away at your resolve.

3.) Claims to be on your side and therefore a trustworthy source.

4.) "Boycotts don't work." Demonstrably they do, as long as people are organized and persistent. Look at how Target and Starbucks are sweating and begging people to come back. Boycotts work.

He’s going to say “well, you know how lazy I am, haha”. And he’s going to get hit with a nuclear fucking missile when they not only are confused and unhappy in their disagreement. But fully pull a “why would you think that Ilya??” Concerned parent thing.

David frowns and say now, I don’t think that’s true son. Unless you’re saying you’re faster than me at puzzles without even trying haha :)

Yuna says oh but you’re so hardworking! Look at you with your rookies you train up and with the way you’ve turned the centaurs around! That’s why coaches like you so much :)
