big strong hockey girlfriends saw you from across the bar, they hate your vibe and if you try to talk to either of them the other one will kill you

and the truth is that the team was playing against someone ilya and/or shane ESPECIALLY hates, which means shane was dropping the most vicious, lethal reads known to man and making ilya crack tf up to the point that they were attracting attention and the coach was just afraid of someone reading lips and getting them all in trouble

and signficantly, the three person buffer between them just keeps shane from SAYING his comments

HEATED RIVALRY — DAY 1

Recalling the first day of filming, Tierney says that after seeing the pair excel in the emotional wringer, his own “nerves were out the window, I knew I could throw anything at those guys.”

AFTER LIKE FOUR WHOLE DAYS OF TRIAL AND ERROR AND FRUSTRATION HE'S HERE! 3D SHANEBUG!

I'm still pretty new to Blender so I'm sure he's not the best model one could make, but hey, he's here, and I ultimately won my battle last night when trying to stop the shadows from flickering in the rendered animation of just him in his jar (turned out to be something with the background of the scene). I added the little stars and fireflies in afterwards with my regular paint program's animation software since I felt like he needed some extra little embellishments and there was a lot of empty space to his right.

Connie's been saving up her PTO for the summer, like she does every year. She's got three weeks off this year, and she's planning to use it every last day. One week of staycation, one week of visiting her mother out west, and one week of getting to chores and tasks she's been putting off around the house. Very productive.

Bighud's still only in his first couple of years at Business Inc so he hasn't built up the same PTO as Connie yet, and he's honestly a little sad thinking about her being out of the office for so long. He tells her as much while he's leaning over her desk one day, taking one of her hands in both of his and idly running his thumbs over her manicured fingernails.

"I'm gonna miss you," he admits, kind of shyly. Connie's heart swells at how earnest he sounds. How earnest he is.

"I'm not going far," she reminds him. "You can come visit me at home any time."

Bighud smiles but it doesn't quite touch his eyes. "I know, but. I'm gonna miss you here. What's the point of coming to work if I don't get to see you every day?"

He takes her hand properly now, sneakily bringing her knuckles up to his lips while Connie blushes and peeks over her shoulder to make sure no one has caught their private moment of office PDA.

"Have you booked your vacation yet?" she asks, working to conceal the emotion in her voice.

"Ah, not yet," he sighs. "I don't even know what I'd do with a vacation."

"No one you could go visit?" Connie asks.

Bighud shrugs.

"Nowhere you want to travel?"

Bighud just smiles, too nervous to say what he'd really like to tell her, that he doesn't really want to go anywhere if Connie isn't there.

Connie clears her throat, and makes a suggestion without really thinking.

"Well, if you wanted to take a week, maybe you could...come out west with me. It's really beautiful out there."

Bighud frowns. "Aren't you going to visit your mom?"

Oh god. Connie's starting to regret this suggestion. Too late to turn back now. "Well, I...maybe I want you to meet her."

Bighud smiles so wide it nearly splits his face in half. "Really?"

Relief washes over Connie as she smiles back, equally as beatific.

"Yeah," she nods. "I mean, I know it's a lot to ask. You only have, what? Ten days off a year right now? I understand if you didn't want to use half of them to come meet my mother. Plus I know that's kind of a big step and I - "

"Connie." Bighud quiets her rambling as he rests his elbows on her desk and leans in close enough that Connie can smell his cologne. "I would love to come."

Connie exhales shakily.

"Okay," she whispers, breathless at how close he is, how sincere his gaze is as it locks with hers.

There's a loaded moment where Connie wonders if they might kiss, right here in the middle of the office. But no. With what looks like considerable effort, Bighud pushes off her desk and starts to back away.

"Teams me the dates!" he tells her with a wink over his shoulder as he makes his way back to his cubicle. "I'll put my request in right now."

After a while of talking about how Anya acts the trainer says there’s nothing to worry about, Anya likes Shane just fine, it’s just that she sees him as the boss and is acting accordingly

And Ilya is like. But. I’m the one who adopted her? And raised her before Shane got here?? And the trainer is just like yeah well she sees you more like an equal. And Ilya is like WAIT she thinks Shane is in charge of both of us?? And the trainer is just like well do you interact in a way that would make her think that?

Ilya’s life flashes before his eyes as he thinks of all the times Shane has come over with a snack for Ilya and a treat for Anya, or all the times Shane has announced they’re all going for an after dinner walk, or pets Ilya’s hair and tells him he did a good job at practice, or the fact that he uses the same warning tone with Anya when she misbehaves as he does with Ilya when he’s causing problems on purpose
