I think about this a lot.
may I add also “butt dial” vs “booty call” vs “bottom text”
Hand job vs manual labor

I have seen posts theorizing that Shane would likely have been touch starved because he does not enjoy hugs from his own family, let alone other people touching him. However, as an elite athlete he would be treated and thus touched by the medical staff quite regularly. They even travel with the team.
Suppose that while Shane is uncomfortable with touch generally, his favorite physical therapist has worked with him to the point that Shane actually enjoys getting a full body massage from her (and her only). Like yoga, it’s a time when he can just be in his body without so many thoughts.
When Shane moves to Ottawa he keeps turning down massages and seems to shy away talking with the physical therapy staff at all. Ottawa’s lead physio is curious what’s going on, since Shane’s medical records from Montreal list regular massage therapy and he would certainly benefit from continuing it. After confirming that Shanes’s permission is on file, Ottawa checks in with Montreal’s equivalent. She compares Shane to a feral cat. You have to ease him into it extraordinarily slowly. He doesn’t like to be touched much. Food and pain are not motivational in either direction. But if you’re kind and patient and start small, eventually you just might get there. Most importantly, do not try to treat Shane or discuss anything remotely medical with other players in the room. Massages are always in private only.
One day Ilya is ready to leave the training facility and cannot find Shane anywhere. He wanders back into the physical therapy suite and asks the physio who Shane now seems to be friendly with if they have seen him. Yes, the physio tells him. Shane seemed extraordinarily relaxed after his massage and he’s still in the private massage room snoozing. Ilya immediately asks if they’d show him some massage techniques. He loves nothing more than getting his hands on Shane and helping him chill out.
ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds
I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study
after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines
et voila
and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)
and now, the birds
Birds 1 and 2/14: Red Winged Blackbird, Male and female, Agelaius phoeniceus
Bird 3/14, American Robin, Turdus migratorius
hoo boy, ok *out of breath*
GIVE IT UP FOR BIRD NUMBUH 5, THE CANADIAN GOOSE, Branta canadensis!!!!
this guy took me about 4 days to completely finish, all of those freakingk coverts were a bear to render
speaking of obnoxious coverts:
bird 5/14, Bluejay, Cyanocitta cristata
the friggin stripes almost got me chat, i may not make it
Madam....
birds 6 and 7: American Goldfinch, Spinus tristis, male and female
pleasantly simple to paint! next is the flickerrrrr
*melts into goo*
BIRD NUMBER 8, (yellow shafted) NORTHERN FLICKERRRRR, Colaptes auratus
genuinely made me start questioning my sanity around day 3, it's half the size the of the goose, WHY did it take me 4 days to finish??
nothing but pain and suffering, i'm sure hope the next bird will be much easier and with FAR less barring :)
in other news, I am losing my mind hairline
SHE'S DONE!!
Bird number 9: Red-tailed hawk, Buteo jamaicensis
my chains are broken i am FREE. although i did have a great deal of fun with this, the barring on the wings itself took me like four days and i am READY to move on
this was a week and a half of continuous work so please excuse me for getting a little emotional in the bg 🙏
*does a little jig*
BIRD NUMBER 10!!! The Male Mallard Duck, Anas platyrhynchos
the male and female ones are gonna be posted separately bc they're taking a lot longer lol but yea! super happy i was able to capture the iridescent green of the head, i found metallic green and blue paint at a craft store that really made his head POP. it looks better in person i promise
ALSO!! As this is the 10th one, BIG announcement. The end is in sight!!!!! I plan to finish within the next 3 weeks and there will be a small dedication ceremony/ unveiling happening at the library to commemorate its completion on the 16th of May. If you live in the Western New York region and want to check it out for yourself shoot me a dm!
Also thank you everyone for your kind words and support throughout this whole process, it's been a genuine treat thinking there are potentially thousands of you out there cheering me on while I paint this 🥹
aaaand another one bites the duck,
we're movin right along with bird numero 11!! The lady Mallard!! Anas platyrhyncos
the 16th is looming in the distance so i'm trying to get thru these as quickly as i can so i can have as much time for the GBH as possible. i still need to do the names next to all of them so i've got about a week and a half to finish everything which is GREAT because i have adhd and nothing gets my ass in gear like a fuckin deadline, let me tell you
power couple that they are, here's bird number 12 and 13,
the Northern Cardinals, Cardinalis cardinalis
and NOW that they are complete, ITS GO TIME, in the next five days (library's closed for mother's day 😭😭) i need to have the GBH fully rendered, the names of the birds vectored, weeded, masked, applied to the wall, and then painted, plus additional cattails throughout. I may be able to get away with just getting the GBH done in time for the unveiling and then just have the names and cattails added later, but i'm gonna really try to get it all done in time. BUT, i have a plan. Part of why i take so long on these is because i really am just figuring it out as I do it lmao. there have been many a time where i am sitting on top of the ladder googling "how to paint birds" but I think if i take the time tomorro to do all that figuring out how to approach it beforehand, this will go a lot faster. I may also recruit some of my artist friends to help with the placing of the names... hrmm we'll see.
Anyways, shout out to the librarian who tracked down exactly the thing i needed so i could figure out where to place the highlights in my birds eyes, ur the real mvp
thanks for the reminder, kid
at long last, we've reached the end...
Bird number 14 out of 14,
The Great blue heron, Ardea herodius
thank you to everyone who reached out or got excited about this project, it genuinely gave me the fuel i needed to keep going. In total, the 480+ total hrs it took me to cover this wall pales in comparison to how long its expected to spend on there, hopefully imparting a sense of beauty and love for the natural world to the next generation and here's hoping i'm only getting started with these.
i'll see y'all soon :')
I'm deeply immersed, mentally, in the idea of an HR AU where Shane *does* go first in the draft to Boston and Ilya goes second to the Metros.
Shane needs friends who will push him to stretch his wings (something Hayden would never do, as much as I adore the love shared between Hayden, Jacki and Shane). I think the straight forward linguistics of the NE in the US would do Shane a world of good. I think having Marly and St Simon and Conners push and push him to go out and let loose and ACTUALLY MEAN IT, not just so they can make fun of him for "failing" would do him a world of good. I think being further away from his mom (I LOVE Yuna, but we all need time to grow away from the direct supervision of our parents) would do Shane good.
I also just think that there's something about the culture of the US American northeast that would really vibe with Shane's inner chaos demon. Boston is def gay friendly, but no one expects you to be gentle if you're gay there.
Plus! The move to Ottawa wouldn't really raise any eyebrows. Shane, as a veteran, highly skilled player and native Ottowan, would make sense moving there to try to rebuild his hometown team.
I also think Boston would shape him in a way that Montreal never could. He'd be more straightforward, he'd be more brutal, he'd be beautifully obstinate when Ilya tried to pull some bullshit. But maybe most importantly, he'd have other Russian players around in his daily life, so he'd have a much better and much earlier grasp of what it means for Ilya to return home each summer (and probably learning a lot of Russian from his teammates to chirp Ilya in the ice with).
Additionally, Ilya would already have lived in Canada for several years by the time they decided to move closer to one another-- possibly even Ilya has been spending a week or two every summer at the cottage since it was built before going home to Russia-- because people are much less likely to remark on him visiting a nearby Canadian city when he already lives in the country.
Anyway, it's ripe with great nuance that would completely change their dynamic, and I love that.

When Shane joins the centaurs, Ilya arranges it that he gets the locker next to his. He's not passing up the chance to flirt with his half-dressed husband before and after games. Being captain comes with perks.
"You're lucky to get this locker," he tells Shane before their first practice. "Everyone in this room is always fighting to get it."
"Why, because it's the one next to yours?" says Shane, tugging a curl at the back of Ilya's head just hard enough to pull his head back playfully.
"Well, yes," laughs Ilya. "But this is also the magic locker."
Shane has that look on his face that Ilya knows means he's not sure if he wants to laugh or roll his eyes.
"The magic locker?" he says with a skeptical eyebrow and a fond smile. "I'm scared to ask what that means."
"You'll see. Is very mysterious. Science cannot explain it. You will soon see its power for yourself."
And Shane's laughing now.
"How about you get dressed so that you're not late for practice, Cap? The only power I want to see right now is your ass on the ice."
And Ilya has this stupid grin the whole way through practice that only gets wider when Shane gets back to his locker to find his favourite post-practice protein bar and an ice-cold can of ginger ale. There's a small post-it stuck to the protein bar that says "Welcome to the team, Hollander. Love, the magic locker elves. xx" It's unmistakably Ilya's handwriting.
"See?" says Ilya, delighted at how much Shane is smiling. "Mysterious."
"Super mysterious," he says, pressing a small kiss to Ilya's cheek. "Tell the elves I say thank you."
And every practice or game after that, there's always something small waiting in the locker for Shane. Because his locker is magic.

Family ice time 🏒
Sleepy boys 💤
I saw a post about Shane and Ilya being sad that they can't thank each other in their acceptance speeches like other can with their spouses and it got me thinking:
Ilya wins his first awards and hes got nobody he really wants to thank after his team and coach cause he he hates his family but he knows his speech is too short so on impulse he goes "And I want to thank Shane Hollander for being slightly worse than me this season". Everyone knows it was going to one of those two, so everyone thinks hes an asshole to say that but whats new so it works for him. But from then on it then becomes a bit for both of them to thank each other in their speeches in a snide way as a reason they won.
Shane winning the Art Ross Trophy (Awarded to the player who leads the league in total points at the end of the regular season). and going "special thanks to Rozanov for missing at least 5 shots this season, he was a huge help"
Ilya winning the Conn Smythe Trophy (Awarded to the most valuable player for his team in the playoffs.) "Just want to give a quick shout out to Hollander for getting knocked out in the second round this season. Must hate to see me up here."
They find a way to mention the other in their speeches every time all the time.
and every time, they sit in their seats like

adopting the headcanon that shane loves lesbian culture like he doesnt get along with other gay men (which is something he has to dissect ofc) but he finds himself with a lot of butch friends.
a fun scenario in my head is him trying to find a café in ottawa where he can just chill out and not be hounded by people and he stumbles upon this little hole in the wall place called Rosies and its filled with lesbians but shane has no idea hes just there for a black coffee and a fucking break. maybe a slice of zucchini bread. but he starts admiring the woodwork of the interior and strikes up a conversation with the owner (the titular rosie) who is this like cool older butch lesbian and they swap numbers and rosie tells shane about her home diy club and shane is like Cool a new friend :) and hes also thrilled she didnt gaf that hes a hockey player

This piece was inspired by Splash, the Ron Howard movie.
So for my dear author friends who can’t resist asking about the plot… Perhaps Ilya rescued a small Shane when the ice cracked on the frozen inland sea where he’d been skating while Ilya lurked below. Ilya later realizes that ice skating could the key to getting away from his father, and maybe finding the boy with freckles again. But he has find time for a daily soak, or his tail could reappear at the worst possible time.

One of my most useless hollanov headcanons is that one day Shane will casually mention something he had growing up BC he came from a happy family and Ilya will have no clue what he's talking abt😭 He'll say about when he was a kid David would pour the hot, fresh laundry onto him and it would be nice and cosy. (I'm assuming other parents do this too right? Not just mine?) And Ilya doesn't relate, didn't think of that as an option.
So Shane starts to do it. Like randomly. He'll be doing laundry and fill it up in the basket and walk into their bedroom and Ilya will be on the bed on his phone or whatever and Shane will wordlessly empty the laundry onto him and it's so warm and soft and he understands why Shane looks back at it as a fond memory. And it just becomes a thing. They don't talk about it. But Shane will put the clean laundry on him, leave to do something else and circle back when it's no longer as warm so he can put it away.
+ maybe one day they have someone over idc who, sveta, a centaur, whoever. And they will just be chatting and Shane will walk past and pour the laundry on him and walk off and they're like "what the fuck? R U guys arguing?" BC it seems like a weird, petty thing to do. But it's just Shane's way of saying ily. And Ilya loves it.

So you know.
This might be the real one, y’all.
Reblogging to spread the luck and the good fortune
i looooooooove how annoying shane and ilya must be as the two best hockey players in the world just both of them being able to see the game at such an elite level and notice things no one else does and theyre basically speaking their own language to one another and saying things like "i dont even count a hat trick if its on an empty net if the goalie isnt there its NOT a real goal i think they should not count these" "absolutely if theres no challenge it isnt real" "exactlyyyyy" and they will say things like this in front of players who have Zero career hat tricks
hayden is struggling in the postseason and says its bc he is "playing with a broken rib" and privately shane is thinking "okay but just one though jesus christ" and ilya is texting him like "is pike playing on severed legs" "broken rib" "ok???? just one????" and shane is like wow thank god finally someone who gets it
