damn hudson williams really be livin la vida loca

Shane has one (1) emotional conversation about his situationship with his girlfriend and immediately decided that he wanted Ilya… I’m telling you the man never stood a CHANCE. Shane walks into the bar looking fine as hell, who needs to do all that on a TRAVEL DAY to the ASG but he has a Man to Woo so he walks UP TO HIM IMMEDIATELY (social anxiety who, shane doesn’t know her) and starts f l i r t i n g with Ilya “I’m feeling a bit wild” “I’ve always wanted to play on a team with you” “nice shirt, you’re pulling it off” shane turned it up to 100 and Ilya folded like a bad hand. Shane Hollander flirting with Ilya rozanov in a bar full of hockey players in broad daylight is literally ilyas dream

no cuz it’s the way that ilya covers his laughter after shane tells him he hired a stylist and shane’s all embarrassed because he thinks ilya’s laughing *at* him but really ilya just went through every single stage of grief three times over in under a minute and now physically cannot contain his joy and utter *relief*, not to mention the sheer preposterousness of what he was expecting shane to say vs what shane actually said AND IT’S REALLY JUST SUCH A SWEET MOMENT BECAUSE WE NEVER GET TO SEE ILYA’S WHOLE ENTIRE FACE LIGHT UP LIKE THAT AND I JUST

i know there's a Plan(tm) but i think it would be really funny if they simply changed the narrative on hollanov in the hr universe by putting professional rage-baiter ilya rozanov in front of the press one day and when they try to get him to shit-talk shane like normal he's just like 'um no ☝️shane hollander is my best friend' and when the journalists are all visibly confused and ask 'uh don't you hate him?' he's just like 'no when did i say that? i never said that' 'but what about your rivalry?' 'who told you we were rivals? i know nothing about this' and this keeps going and going until eventually everyone is forced to print articles that say 'ilya roznov and shane hollander: great friends apparently'

i can’t believe that hozier literally sang “i want to shag so loudly that the hotel complains” and people still try to force him into the “wholesome innocent creature of nature” box
