This is gonna sound a little obsessive...

Ilya fucking a dopey and content Shane (he just shotgunned a joint with Ilya) who's somehow even needier and louder for him than usual

to me, shilya are two big predator cats wrapped around each other, biting each other's ears, purr-growling continuously, kneading flanks with claws out, blinking impossibly long eyelashes at each other, and sprawling in sun patches with their limbs and tails so intertwined you can't tell where one ends and the other begins.

The fact that Ilya had Shane sucking on his fingers in the first five minutes of their first sexual encounter. The fact that it was essentially the first mutual sexual act they ever engaged in. Sometimes you truly do just hit a hole in one.

I know I’ve been pretty harsh in the past about Harris being cast as “skinny” BUT (1) I think Justice Smith will do a great job, he is immensely charming & talented, which will make him an awesome Harris and (2) if this means just maybe we will talk about race in any meaningful capacity in a show that routinely lets those conversations drop just as it starts making a point about the experience of POC in the hockey world .. I’m more then good with that

i know i talked about this before, but shane can chirp AND fight! a lot of players believe shane can't fight because he doesn't fight, however that's not true, shane can fight just choses not to. shane appreciates the game, he likes beating people with his skills, not with how well he can take someone out of the game. he is too focused to chirp and really likes seeing players faces when he scores a hat trick in less than 5 minutes. however once shane and ilya get outed and shane joins the cens he starts proving he can chirp and fight. this isn't intentional, it just happens. when playing games there is a lot more slurs directed towards shane and ilya on the ice, and it doesn't bother shane when they say it to him, like it gets under his skin but he heard worse in montreal to the point where he would rather piss them off by winning and not falling for their trap. it does piss of ilya however, he gets angry when people call shane names, especially when he can't understand them, so that causes ilya to get in a lot of fights to the point where shane almost has to implement a sex ban to get ilya to stop fighting for one second so he can actually help the team win and not just spend the entire game in the box. things change when shane hears people call ilya more than just names, when he hears them threatening him, and accusing him of things, and doing more that just chirping. don't get me wrong, shane got downright scary when people called ilya names and used slurs, but he never fed into that, he would just play harder than normal. however, when shane gets truly angry he is terrifying. not only will he chirp and basically say that he could ruin your life in one second, he also starts playing dirtier, and he'll beat you up if it feels necessary, or if he lost control. shane learned self defense when he was younger, yuna and david put him in classes because they wanted him to be able to protect himself in bad situations but also because he enjoyed it, shane enjoyed those classes even if he disliked hurting people. no one full realizes how strong shane is until half the cans, ilya, and hayden have to physically drag shane off of comeau after he says something about ilya, in french might i add, during a centaurs v. montreal game. shane was feral and so very pissed off to the point where ilya, hayden, and jj had to talk him down. that proved to everyone never to get on shane hollander's bad side, because he can fuck you up easily, just choses not to most of the time.
