it's rotten work

but fails to consider that ice is. so slippery.

Read the post and loved it exactly for the potential of what's in the tags: uh oh now David made it funnnn and Shane, quick little bean that he is, riiiight as he's getting to the edge of the rink, about to be picked up and passed to mom, gets up and skates away to the middle of the rink and PLOMP lays down on his back, giggling and kicking his little skates. "Again, Dad (Shane does not call David daddy in front of his friends, he's not a baby!), again!!"

coupled with the idea of shane's conversation with rose when he talks about how hockey got less fun because it got more intense and so so did he: the idea of ilya dramatically flopping on his back on the ice one day at camp when they're done running drills with the kids

and he is teasingly refusing to get up because he is dead now, hollander, can you not see this, and shane hesitates for just a second, grabs his hand, plants one of his skates, and just sends him sliding off towards the side of the rink, thinking about how his dad used to do it to him after every single practice

people had left comments about how it could be Really Bad for this guy’s wife to see hotel room charges and stuff out of nowhere and have the usual assumptions about what that might mean.

i’m picturing ilya just dyinggggg for some peanut butter, but he doesn’t want to make shane feel bad for his craving, and he also doesn’t want to risk indulging where the contamination could potentially hurt shane. and thus he has the secret peanut butter hotel rooms of shame and indulgence. and of course, shane eventually finds out about the hotel rooms and the real reason that ilya is booking them.

oh MAN i see this and raise you: shane and ilya of course always room together after they're both on the ottawa team except ☝️ in the cities where there's a candy store that has something made with peanut butter that ilya REALLY loves.

it's just Understood that in san francisco, ironically, they are no longer gay married ("ilya, we are still married, what the fuck are you talking about") because ilya must meet with his mistress (z. cioccolato candy shop) and enjoy her tender affections (peanut butter fudge).

"FUCK san francisco"

"but roz?? don't you always go to that one shop when we're there?? i thought you really liked their fudge."

also specifically because hand to god I do not think David recognized Ilya when he caught them making out at the cottage. David’s mortified bc he interrupted his son kissing a boy he did NOT know about the nuclear bomb that is his son kissing ILYA ROZANOV! David could not pick anyone in the current nhl out of a rigged lineup. Yuna wanting to shake him by the shoulders when Ilya walks through the door bc what do you mean why didn’t you prepare me for this! But if Shane didn’t introduce him David would’ve thought this guy has a fun sense of humor wearing a Boston shirt whereas the Mach 5 kill bill sirens are going off in Yuna’s mind as she stares at thee Rozanov ™

god the ENDLESS relief of ilya's fashion choices making it easy to pick him out of north american crowds

it's also tucked away when he's in sochi in episode two while his father is still alive, his brother is harassing him through texts, ect

and noticeably absent here when he's caring for his father during the summer in ep 4
