Hello :)

Ilya then has the rest of the Centaurs help him make a compilation of secretly filmed Shane moments showing how good a boyfriend he is

Ilya doing the “would you still love me if I was a worm?” thing and without missing a beat or asking any questions Shane just goes “Yeah”

Harris films himself asking Shane random Ilya questions and Shane always having an answer. “Hey what Ilya’s favorite milkshake flavor?” “Mint.” “I’m buying everyone fun socks, what’s Ilya’s favorite color?” “Blue, but only if it’s light, he doesn’t like dark blue.” “What’s Ilya’s favorite fruit?” “Pears.”

Troy waits for Shane to sit on the bench looking at his phone or tying his skates then says “Oh hey Ilya’s coming in” and catches multiple examples of Shane immediately scootching over to one side to make room for Ilya to sit next to him

Ilya puts his feet up on Shane’s lap silently and Shane starts lightly massaging them. Ilya lays his head on Shane’s shoulder and Shane starts quietly playing with his hair

They film Ilya handing Shane random things and asking him to hold them and Shane does without question. The internets favorite is the one where Ilya pulls a pineapple out of his bag and asks Shane to hold it and he agrees, getting his gear on one handed so he can keep holding the pineapple in the other

how i love drawing married hollanov :(

thank you @shipping-at-2-am for these ring designs they live rent free in my head if you can't tell

please read their fic: unknowingly knowing on ao3 by birdy1171

i had to draw the engravings (v special to me) so a little ring study for those!! (i tried my best with the russian and hudsons handwriting, have mercy on me)

+ my spin on their wedding suits (i just love swapping the tie + firm believer in navy suit shane)

would they have put a chair out for irina? during on of their "wedding planning dinners" where they didn't really plan much because shane and ilya weren't even that excited for a wedding they were just excited to be married. do you think one of the hollanders would have bought it up, soft voiced and cautious, wanting to honour irina on that day, give her a space there, and ilya was struck with the reminder that his mama wouldn't be there to see him marry the love of his life?

cause I think the idea of an empty chair would send ilya into a tail spin. but not having a space for her might be even worse because she was and will always be so important to ilya. having everyone else that loves them sitting there and watching them and there being nothing for irina is worse than a physical representation of the hole she left in ilya's life, but he doesn't want to think about that, either

and shane realises this, he knows ilya better than anyone else in this world, so what if he's the one to suggest "why do we even need chairs?" the ceremony won't be especially long. they've not written their own vows. their love is theirs. anything they need to say to each other they've already said and they will keep saying them for the rest of their lives. just the standard I take thees and then they're done. who needs chairs for that? besides, they'll just ruin the grass

when it's so serious you have to break out vivaldi... again

Also, harassing fanfic writers who write non-cannon compliant fics, or fics that are slightly more unconventional than the (mostly) vanilla stuff that Hollanov canonically get up to - is not okay guys. Its fandom, fandom is freaky, don't clutch your pearls on Ao3 just filter out the stuff that icks you and read the tags properly.

Edit: I have also seen an influx of Connor and François shippers acting fucking gross about it, specially by being racist towards Huson and treating him like a barrier in Connor and François' "relationship"
