The Life Of Kimi

I like to think that Shane was given the nickname by David. When he was a toddler Shane was obsessed with any and every type of bug. He’d make David and Yuna take him in the garden all the time to dig for worms or look at the flowers to see if there were any bees. But his absolute favourite were ladybugs leading David to coin the nickname Shanebug.

Obviously once hockey took over his life Shane kind of forgot about his bug obsession. But once he gets settled living in Ottawa with Ilya he starts to pick it back up.

When Shane and Ilya went round to his parents for dinner he offhandedly mentioned that he was planning on adding some plants to the garden so more insects and bugs would visit. And David goes suddenly silent and starts to get teary.

David: Oh Shanebug is back

Ilya: Shanebug, what is a Shanebug?

This leads to Yuna getting out all Shane’s toddler pictures showcasing him holding a ladybug in his hands, him covered in mud pointing at a worm with the biggest grin on his face and him cross eyed as a butterfly lands on his nose. Ilya’s favourite though is a photo of Shane dressed up as a ladybug for his third birthday, antennas and all, that he gushes over.

I’ve fallen victim to the crossover ship of a lifetime. (I’m writing a fic of them called Missing Piece by smol_ghosts. This was a thank you I drew for the support it’s gotten ❤️)

I see people saying “He needs to address the hurt he’s caused” but what did Hudson do specifically?

Someone drew a disgusting and hateful symbol on him. Then someone took a picture and posted it.

He didn’t draw it. He didn’t post the pic. The TMZ statement said he didn’t know what was being drawn on him.

So, where is he at fault in this situation? What exactly should he be apologizing for? Or what does he “need to be held accountable for”- being around terrible people as a teenager?

At his new school, Izuku befriends Ochako. When he starts hanging out at her place, her dad takes a liking to him and becomes the father figure he never had. Whenever he shows Ochako how to build or fix something, Izuku is always included. With time, Izuku grows to really love construction work, and he realizes what a valuable career it is to the community. He still tries for UA, but when he fails, he sees Uraraka off with a smile and then accepts her parents' offer to intern at their construction company while in high school. Once he graduates, they hire him full-time.

Fast forward, and pro hero Shouto has been quickly climbing the ranks and is ready to open his own agency. His dad buys a very modern, expensive building for him. Shouto refuses it and instead buys a place that is quite literally crumbling apart. He wants to hire a construction team to turn it into something the surrounding neighborhood can be proud of.

He just widens his eyes, makes them a bit glassy and Ilya folds like a damn chair.

After a while Ilya figures out what he’s doing and screws his eyes shut to avoid looking at Shane.

Ilya: no Shane no I know what you’re doing, put your eyes away. You will not use your wicked spells on me today

Shane: Ilya will you just look at me please

A blanket on sale that she knows is a texture Shane will like, sesame mochi — the only dessert Shane will eat — David’s favourite brand of chocolate covered almonds (Meiji, obviously).

And when Ilya joins their family it takes a while, but Yuna notices that he always reaches for the dried mangoes when there’s a bag open, and he eats the Miss Vickies sweet and spicy ketchup chips by the handful.

So it makes sense to her that she would pick these things up when she sees them at the store and make sure her pantry is stocked for all her boys.

Ilya only finds out when they’re over at his parents on a movie night, and Shane, rummaging around the pantry for snacks groans “at this point, you have more of Ilya’s stuff than you do mine,”

“My stuff?” He asks, completely befuddled.

“Yeah, like the ketchup chips and the dried mangoes. Your snacks take up the whole pantry.”

“My snacks,” Ilya says again flatly, still not understanding. “But you all eat these.”

“I mean sure,” Shane agrees, “but my mom buys them for you. Because you like them.”

“This is true?” Ilya turns to Yuna with wide eyes.

And Yuna smiles softly at him, maybe a little sheepishly at being called out so blatantly, and shrugs.

“I mean, yes, honey. I thought you liked those snacks?”

And Ilya gets all teary and reassures her that he loves these snacks. He’s obsessed with these snacks. They are his favourite snacks.

And he starts noticing how anytime he shows interest in something, it will start showing up regularly at the Hollander household—snacks, candy, that specific Japanese soda Ilya likes with the marble.
