Unsorted Nonsense

i actually really love that yuna is the one shit talking other hockey players and focusing on the money and importance of what shane being on the ice means, and she is highlighted as the biggest fan of the team shane plays for, while david is the one who scolds her for swearing in a restaurant and just wants to hear about shane’s day.

It's also worth noting that Hayden apologizes immediately when Shane calls him out on his attitude towards Ilya, acknowledges that Shane must love Ilya a lot, guards the door so Shane and Ilya could have a moment before and after the press conference in the epilogue. After a 2 year time jump, Hayden brings up parenthood to Shane and tells Shane that he thinks Ilya would make a good father! Shane hadn't even asked! Hayden requires no prompting to understand that Ilya is GOOD once he's given the time to get to know Ilya. He trusts his children around Ilya. As a parent, you don't just DO that with anyone. He offers to marry Shane and Ilya. He wants to be Shane's best man! Hayden does come around on Ilya. It's not homophobic to dislike someone who's given you every reason to dislike them imo. He's not a perfect ally. He makes mistakes, stupid ones. He's an ass sometimes. But he's also the only one who's standing up for Shane after The Trip™. One thing about Hayden, at least my interpretation from the books, is that he will always show up for Shane. And I understand why people think he's unsupportive of Shane and Ilya when he doesn't tell JJ off for trying to set Shane up but like. What was he supposed to say (that presumably hadn't been said already) without giving them away? (Hayden telling Shane he could do better was a joke it's literally in the next line)

When you've been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.

“What if I write it and it’s bad-”

And if I'm meant to be alone, please take away my desire to be loved.
