and i'm not very compelled by that anymore. (which is why i view a lot of british comedians with mild dislike. that's like so many of their whole deal. and americans especially eat it up bc "Is He Gay Or European?" is a totally fair indictment of our culture. There's a different bro culture thing, and a totally different hyperfemme girly-girl women-gotta-stick-together culture thing, and you know it all when you see it, and ONCE AGAIN, I used to find this exact space really rife with interest and lately I am finding myself bored and mildly repulsed by it.)

but i was talking about this with my fiancé, and she was like "well isn't that dean winchester? you love him and his whole thing," and i was like yeah, yeah, but he's grandfathered in. and she was like for me, taskmaster is grandfathered in. and i was like that's fair.

Vampires is different, maybe the worst kind. But they live on, even if the one that made them is killed. They gotta be killed, one by one.

Subtypes/conclusions:

- turns out he would not do that

- the people who firmly believe he would do that are not sufficiently skilled

1) Shane is moving to the Cens and it actually IS very awkward and the Cens are not lovely and wholesome right off the bat because

2) there is a widespread misunderstanding when Shane and Ilya get outed where the Cens, missing ALL of the context, are assuming that Shane must’ve been a shit partner with how rough Ilya was doing this past season and assume that Shane was *forcing* Ilya to stay closeted because he’s *ashamed* of Ilya and their relationship

3) Shane is actually pretty hurt by the Cens being cold and distant with him but doesn’t complain about it because literally everyone else ever has behaved like that towards him in his life except for Ilya, Rose, and the Pikes. He’s very much like “well well look who’s inside again” about it.

4) Ilya doesn’t realize the Cens are thinking Shane is BadTM because he’s wrapped up in how happy he is to have Shane around now. He actually does not realize any of this is happening until their first week of practice as a new team and he sees his team icing his husband out

5) Ilya tries to talk to Shane about it but Shane is very much like “don’t worry Ilya this is normal and I’m fine cause I have you” and it makes Ilya want to kill the Metros three times over

6) Shane also agrees with the Cens about himself being a shitty husband when he hears the reasoning behind their behavior. So he just decides to work hard at being a husband and a teammate and keep his head down.

7) Ilya doesn’t know what to do. Shane is adamant that he doesn’t want Ilya to confront the team and that he can’t control what others think about him and he doesn’t want it to be a big deal. But Ilya is also seeing Shane be as sad and withdrawn as he was last season and is actively getting worse- being more strict than ever about his diet, constantly working out and straining himself, being first on the ice and last to leave

8) some of the Cens slowly start realizing that they have Shane wrong over more time with him- mainly Luca, Troy, Harris, Wyatt, and Bood. But they have put walls up that they don’t know how to tear down without spooking Shane.

9) The rest of the team don’t realize how shitty this must be for Shane until the Cens go up against the Metros and they realize that they’ve been treating Shane the same way his old and terrible teams did- they watch as Shane takes scathing insults with a blank face, gets back up without a word after being smashed against the boards, gives a polite smile (the same smile he’s given them when they’re being passive aggressive) when receiving glares and threats from his ex teammates.

10) idk it can go many ways from here- Shane gets hurt and has to leave the ice and the teams finds him genuinely upset and they all have a confrontation- or the Metros target Ilya and the Cens see Shane lose his shit and how in love and protective he is- or the Cens stop icing him out after this and slowly start to actually get to know him and maybe apologize. Idk. The world is your oyster or whatever. I just want Protective Cens but it Backfires Pretty Badly.

and troy smiles, “right, because you were with roz the whole time.”

“i mean, yes, but also because you and dallas kent spent years calling me and jj ‘rush hour’ and asking hayden if his wife was his beard to cover up for his big gay relationship with me.”

the rest of the centaurs blink. harris puts his head in his hands and groans.

i think it would be harris, during one of the cens get together, when they’re all a bit tipsy and harris asks is troy awkward around shane because he used to have a crush on shane, and after wooing and teasing sounds this scene occurs.

it was wyatt, iirc, that played with troy and saw how he behaved, and it really put into perspective to him if that the environment was making troy, a gay person, behave like a bigoted asshole, so how would it treat shane, who is not only a poc but also closeted and in a relationship with his rival for 3 years.

‘you’ll look great in silver vaughny’

‘well i don’t think it’s worth jumping over’

‘sorry in advance too, we’re gonna kick your ass tonight’

‘fuck you’ (like 30 times)

because really his mask was built around his environment which was almost entirely hockey. all of that is from dozens of times someone said something to him and he had nothing to come back with until finally he figured it out. what he doesn’t have a great grasp on for most of the series is vulnerable and open communication and when he finally does it’s a lot clunkier cause he’s not really used to it. those aren’t things born and nurtured on locker rooms or on ice — both between the players and the audience — so he’s very assured in his ability to bite back since he’s needed to be for years.

but he doenst INSTIGATE. because another big part of his character is that he can’t be loud or obnoxiously mean or erratic and be afforded the same loving reputation that ilya (a white, non-autistic man) is given freely for the same behaviour. he needed to be able to bite back because everyone was always biting at him and it resulted in a situation where most of his responses are, in some form, chirps or chirpish since thats been probably 90% of the interactions he’s had with his peers.

that’s why scott said he sounded like ilya, because he was instigating, and i think shane only even did it because he felt safe with scott. scott was his mentor who has historically been nice and patient with him and so he was trying to rib with him in the same way he does with rose or ilya. he’s being a little mean, but he’s always being a little mean.
