a lot of fic leaning into the whole ilya is a horny motherfucker who wants to fuck all the time and shane is like prissy about it like No we can’t because X Y and Z and not nearly enough fic depicting the opposite
“shane wouldn’t let ilya hit it during-”
shane would let ilya hit if the roof blew off their house and they started tumbling through a tornado over the rainbow
shane would let ilya hit if someone seriously sat him down and said there is a 5% chance you will die the next time a dick is inside you he is taking those odds
shane would let ilya hit if his whole extended family dead and alive were asleep in the house he would simply tell ilya to muffle him into the pillow
shane would let ilya hit on stage behind a curtain being held up by one single thread
ilya could break both his legs and arms and he’d be like well shame we can’t fuck and shane would put on his big Yuna Hollander Patented lets-solve-this-problem eyes and go We WILL make it work.
yeah actually shane and ilya touching feet just ruined my whole day. i cannot stomach the intimacy of being under glaring lights and cameras and reporters who don't speak your language and seeking the tiniest bit of comfort in touching shoes with a boy who has no reason at all to help you but is, and instead of moving away, that boy presses his entire foot to yours.
then nearly a decade later under the shocked and incredulous eyes of your parents, their idea of you exploding in real time as you sit with them at the table beside your supposed enemy to confess your love for him, you silently seek comfort under the table the same way he did all those years ago........and his foot finds yours first.
Considering I have feelings I'm like, why are my clothes still on?
i feel like i am going insane whenever i open threads and someone complains about shane in the long game. they make him sound like the worst boyfriend in the world when that could not be further from the truth. he doesn't know ilya is struggling because ilya is too ashamed and scared to tell him he is depressed. ilya is not depressed because of shane or how shane treats him. it is a sickness. he thinks of suicide sometimes, he is really scared because he is happy and he has everything he wanted and he doesn't want to feel this way. it's inconvenient! so he keeps hoping he can deal with it. but shane doesn't know this because when he picks up on it ilya gets upset. shane is autistic. if ilya tells him he's okay, then he's okay. he doesn't understand what ilya is trying to communicate until it's said outloud and until later. he thinks they have this plan that they're both happy with until ilya admits he isn't! and it's not like he loves it either. he loves ilya so much he drives hours and hours in the middle of the night to see him fo a few hours. he learns russian so he can communicate with him in his mother tongue, he fucking proposes and essentially gives up his entire career when they're outed because he loves Ilya so much. and hockey means a lot to him. but he loves ilya more than anything. neither of them did anything wrong in that book, they just have heavy issues to work through and they always do with so much patience and love!
When I say “school should be disability accessible”, I don’t just mean we need handicap rails and EAs. Kids should be able to miss a day without failing out of school. You shouldn’t be dismissed from clubs because your attendance record is “spotty” (true story). I once missed an entire week of school because of a terrible, unending migraine. I was expected to keep up with my studies despite the blinding pain that came with working on my computer. When I heard my teachers say that you couldn’t miss exams, I asked what I would have to do to be excused from them. Their response? “Either get a doctor’s note an hour before the exam or death of an immediate family member.”
I cannot express how rigid this expectation was. First of all, with my condition, I wouldn’t have enough warning about my sickness to go to the doctor and request a note. For many people, this is exceptionally difficult, especially with the current shortage of medical professionals. Next, it ignores the fact that my schedule may not line with theirs because of my medical needs. Once, I had to visit a hospital a province away (which I was on the waiting list of for over a year) on the same day as an exam. I begged my mother not to take me because I was so nervous that I would be marked as an automatic fail. I was lucky enough to make it work, but that’s only because of my spectacular support system consisting of family members and wonderful doctors.
Disabilities aren’t always about needing a bus that can accommodate wheelchairs. It’s already difficult enough for many of us to maintain school attendance without the harsh punishments involved for skipping a day. We need to be able to miss school without being punished. Only than can you claim that the school is “accessible”
people are always like "Oh a vampire wouldn't get horny while drinking someone's blood, that's like getting horny while eating a sandwich" and like man have you never had a really good fucking sandwich?
The sandwich i had for lunch didnt moan and scream and squirm against my body and then become limp and pliable when i was done now did it
