“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”

genuinely i do think it's crazy how this show hit every single mark for no reason other than pure love of the game. like this wasn't a money grab and it didn't think it would be a big success, jacob just read a book he enjoyed and thought huh i think that would be a cool thing to make into a tv show. and then he brought on hudson and connor and they're fresh and passionate and not bogged down by the industry yet and they instantly became best friends and wanted to just have fun bringing these characters to life. and they didn't have a huge budget but they did the most with what they had and everybody took the show seriously and everybody took the book seriously. the cinematographer worked his magic. the music supervisor managed to snag a well-known queer hit and an up and coming new release and old school gems that have been around since the 2000s. it's canadian to the core, built from the ground up. it takes russians and the russian language seriously. it uses sex in such a specific, meaningful way that almost no other show has done thus far, and especially not in a queer context like this. they interlaced every episode with callbacks and parallelism and self-references. they didn't take themselves too seriously. they took everything so seriously. there is love and care baked into the core of this show and it's deeply queer and it doesn't shy away from the horrors of toxic masculinity and hockey culture but it is also, always, a story of joy and love and happiness. and on top of everything, it's almost word for word, the original source material from the book.

like damn it's no wonder this thing has induced mass psychosis and become a huge fucking success! so few productions in hollywood are doing it like this!!!

never talk to me about essays surrounding Shane not being able to find ginger ale except with Ilya being unfounded again because what do you mean that even this is an intentional change

from what i remember from the book and from what you can see in the show, Shane's parents have hard time when it comes to calming Shane down, bc Shane was never able to voice what is wrong.

so to see him not only freak out, but to see Ilya just handle it on the spot must have felt like the only comfirmation they needed

thinking about how this scene represents that the hollander family is not complete yet. there is a fourth missing spot that will later be taken up by ilya. cuz ilya will be shane’s soulmate and david and yuna’s second son.

Thank god for the HEATED RIVALRY fandom because I have not had anything remotely resembling peace of mind since the show started and the only thing that's keeping me lilypad hopping over the deep lake of Losing My Fucking Mind About These Characters has been the incredible fic being put out. So here's some more way-too-long-post to shove fic at people and screaming in a truly ridiculous way about how this is the best insane thing to happen to me in awhile.

HEATED RIVALRY - NO I WON’T BE CHILL ABOUT THE GAY HOCKEY PLAYERS SHOW:

  • Hall Pass by hideeho, ilya/shane, 1.3k     "Tell me, Hollander, who is your hall pass?" In which Ilya asks a question and is completely chill and not at all irrational about Shane's response.
  • lines of lightning by moonsock, ilya/shane & centaurs, NSFW, 13.8k     The road to the Stanley Cup is fraught with expectations, injuries, and worst of all, conversations about feelings.
  • ask anything of me (except to leave you). by Joooceee, ilya/shane & centaurs, 6k     “Ilya,” he said, the name escaping like an exhale. He had so much to say. So many things that needed fixing. So many apologies he owed him. “Shane, please-“ “I’ll go.” “Yes. Thank you.” “No - not… not to Montreal. To the party. If you’ll still have me.“
  • not-so-boring shane hollander by moonysbookshelf, ilya/shane & hayden & scott, nsfw, 2.5k     Ilya wants to know what Scott Hunter said, but mostly he just wants to get on Shane's nerves lol.
  • The Ottawa Centaurs Relationship Chart by leialoo7, ilya/shane & centaurs, NSFW, 2.4k     Shane and Ilya are thrilled to be on the same team this year but can't resist a little on-ice fighting. The team is very concerned.
  • Puck Bunny by Lilbaebloo, ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.2k     Shane wears Ilya's jersey. Ilya's brain short-circuits.
  • leave your marks by theoneiam2277, ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.3k     "You marked me today," he says. It's calm, a statement, but Shane backs up a step, heart hammering in his chest. Ilya is at his most dangerous when he's still, and Shane knows his partner - he will not fucking call him a lover - well enough to sense a devious idea brewing under the surface. One that will likely leave Shane equally turned on and embarrassed. He can't help but mouth off, though. "Yeah. What are you going to do about it, Rozanov?"
  • The Love Toe by BluishFrog, ilya/shane & centaurs, 1.6k     Ilya insists his broken toe counts as sex injury. Shane disagrees both with that statement, and even more with Ilya proudly telling their whole team about it. or: how a broken toe establishes itself as symbol of love.
  • The Last Boston Year by GlitterCity, ilya/shane & scott, 15k wip     “So,” Shane said, after another minute. “Welcome to Montreal.” Ilya just started laughing, his body shaking against Shane’s. “Do not tell me you prepare for all your home games this way,” he said. “I shouldn’t have prepared for any home games this way,” Shane said, glancing at the clock by the bed. He should go, but he couldn’t make himself.
  • in love with everything that you do by evilrussianprincess, ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.2k     OR - Ilya is a little too happy when he sees Shane get into a fight with Scott Hunter on live TV. He's maybe a bit turned on, too.
  • A Study in Devotion by ThePromptWasntThisLong (shredded_potato), ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.1k     Shane, prickling with insecurity after seeing paparazzi photos of Ilya with an ex, tries to pick a fight. Ilya disarms him completely by sitting in an armchair and calmly ordering, “On your knees.” When Shane hesitates, Ilya adds, “You want to prove you’re better than a memory? Show me.”
  • 1410 by Emigma62, ilya/shane & centaurs, nsfw, 1.2k     There was no way. Absolutely no way. The universe was a cruel mistress and there was no way Shane was spending the night with Ilya in room 1410 in this hotel and still being fit to play tomorrow.
  • the same damn hunger by butterflylungs, ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.1k     Ilya’s eyes drag over him, starting from his head, to his jersey-clad upper body, down to his bare thighs. He’s not wearing any underwear, but the shirt is long enough to hide it. Ilya’s gaze darkens ravenously as he lets his gym bag slip from his shoulder to the floor with a dull thud. His eyes travel up again, catching on the number stamped on the arm of jersey, the C on the front. “What’s this?” he questions.
  • no handlebars by redsuns, ilya/shane, NSFW, 1.9k     “You are so impatient,” Rozanov says. “Could not wait for me to finish my workout. Come here.”
  • Own goals by isevsianne, ilya/shane, NSFW, 7.5k     “Funny morning, you know,” Ilya says in Shane’s voice, and that’s strange, too. “Woke up in this bed with too many pillows in a very boring place and discovered my dick not as big as last night. Then I remembered Canada’s favorite hockey player Shane Hollander texting me last night, wish you were here and I think the hockey gods don’t care about anyone but Shane fucking Hollander, because now I am here, yes?” “Look,” Shane replies sharply. “This is not my fault.”
  • 2886 Beacon by anyarozanov (anaphoricae), ilya/shane, NSFW, 4.5k     "What’s a girl to do on a lonely night in Montreal?" Shane shouldn’t answer his text now. He wouldn’t. He had been strong enough to walk away on that rooftop, and he would be strong enough to do it now. He wasn’t mad anymore, but he wasn’t about to make the same mistake either.
  • Fanning the Flames by cjr2, ilya/shane & farah & cast, NSFW, 16.9k     The Voyageurs ask Shane to join FanMail in order to foster a better connection with fans. Internet sleuths start to notice some interesting details in the background of Shane’s videos, and then the internet does...what the internet does. Or Shane and Ilya are granted an opportunity to come out on their own terms. Sort of. And in they do it in a very Ilya way. (Surprisingly, it is Shane’s idea)
  • For Worse, For Fever by nj_1996, ilya/shane, 9.3k     Shane survives the world’s worst flu and thinks the nightmare is over. It is not. Because now Ilya is sick.
  • at the top of the mohs scale by Anonymous, ilya/shane & rose & svetlana & centaurs, NSFW, pregnant!shane, 19.6k wip     Shane let out a put-upon sigh and stepped into Terry's office, closing the door behind him. “So, I was really nauseous this morning. Threw up a little. And Ilya is making me come talk to you about it.” Terry quirked an eyebrow at him. “Husband Ilya or Captain Rozanov?” “Both.” “Oof.” Terry gestured at him to take a seat. “You sure you’re not dying, bud?"
  • good by alopias, ilya/shane, NSFW, 4.8k     He sends a message without fully thinking it through, are you disappointed in me? No. Comes through immediately. I told you, good game to watch. It makes me happy to see you lose once in a while. I think you need to be brought down a notch.
  • is it casual now? by zeppelin (transgenicveins), ilya/shane, NSFW, 3k     Ilya steels himself. He thinks of running around Moskva River, obsessed with Shane Hollander and the sad look on his face, and knows if he doesn’t ask it’ll gnaw at him like a dog with a bone. “Hollander,” he starts. “Shane,” Shane corrects, a little bratty, and Ilya’s helpless. He fucking smiles back. “Shane,” he continues firmly, “listen, about Vegas—”
  • unkissed by miharaikko, ilya/shane, NSFW, 4k     “Goodbye, Hollander,” is all he can say. Ilya hears the door click shut. It didn’t even slam. It closed softly. Almost makes it worse. A few words and a soft click, and Hollander is gone. “Fuuuck,” Ilya groans, teeth almost biting into the filter of his cigarette. We didn’t even kiss, Ilya thinks as he lets his head fall back against the headboard.
  • What You Want From Me by Erisenyo, ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.9k     “Say it,” Ilya pushes, because he still has not learned to walk away. He grabs the spread of Hollander’s ribs, suddenly desperate to paint over the last six months and Sochi and longer with something uncomplicated and easy, and this thing with Hollander will never be that— “Yes, please, yes,” Hollander says, practically shoving into his hands. “I want you to. Lift me up on this counter, Rozanov, do it, please.” —but Ilya has always been weak for the way Hollander is so easy for him.
  • I would die for you in secret by nerdie, ilya/shane & cast, pregnant!shane, 3.8k     It was, quite possibly, the worst thing that had ever happened to Shane. Two lines stared up at him from the pregnancy test. And the other pregnancy test, too. And the fancy test that actually spelled out the word pregnant. Ilya fucking Rozanov had knocked him.
  • Ilya's 2014 Stanley Cup Celebration by wilmonstan12345, ilya/shane, NSFW, 2.6k     About a month after Las Vegas, Ilya has his day with the Stanley Cup. He texts Shane to fly to Boston and celebrate with him, and they have angsty sex with the Cup in the room.
  • Boston Hospitality by SuburbanSun, ilya/shane, 1.7k     Lily: But I need to swipe a key to get up to your floor Lily: Don’t suppose you left one for “Lily” at the front desk? Lily: Or else you’ll just have to come downstairs and get me
  • Tethered/Untethered by WhatTheBodyGraspsNot, ilya/shane, nsfw, 4k     Shane feels wrong. Off. It’s their last night at the hotel and he should be out with his teammates but he can’t move. Can’t think of anything but the keycard on his dresser and the pull to that room three stories up. He and Ilya have fucked plenty this week. That’s not what this is. Shane needs something else.
  • Lingua Russia by GrendelsMother, ilya/shane & ocs & voyageurs, 16.9k     “That’s wild, man. That is just weird.” Yannic paused. “You really think someone speaks Russian but is hiding it from you and just using it to do nice things for you?” “Well, that is the question. Why would anyone do that? Why not just say they speak Russian?” Rodion had been wondering this all morning.
  • the longer way home by boxysmiles, ilya/shane, 6.3k     The plane—Ilya’s plane—is diverting to the closest airport. Shane's next breath doesn't quite make it to his lungs. Suddenly, he is a few years in the past, hearing J.J's voice: "Woah. The Centaurs' plane had to make an emergency landing." It's not the same. It's not.
  • the things your lips won't say. by Skamtrash, ilya/shane, NSFW, 2.2k     shane gets jealous seeing ilya kiss someone else. when he confronts him in his hotel room, ilya shows him why there's no reason to be.
  • I Could Love You 'Til All the Polaroids Fade by verbaepulchellae, ilya/shane & cast, NSFW, 9.5k     Shane's working on letting go of the control that's kept him and Ilya safe for the past ten years. The fact that he's Shane Hollander means that he's got a plan. The fact that he's with Ilya Rozanov means that plan involves fucking him stupid. And for once, Shane's kind of ready to be the one who drives Ilya out of his mind.
  • Exactly As You're Meant to Be by 30somethingAutisticTeacher, ilya/shane, ~1k     A conversation in bed stirs up memories, both bitter and sweet.
  • Belonging by PeaceLilies, ilya/shane, NSFW, 6.2k     Shane and Ilya navigate their new relationship now that they're officially a couple
  • Before and After Pictures by GrendelsMother, ilya/shane & troy/harris & centaurs, 3.1k     “I think what people are most interested in is whether your game—against each other—changed once you were together.” They looked at each other. Shaking their heads. It was never going to go away. But they didn’t intend to change their approach in keeping some things to themselves.
  • (Not) Desperate by bubbleomatic, ilya/shane, NSFW, 2k     Ilya didn’t know what was worse: knowing Hollander’s favourite ginger ale brand, or caring too much about getting his hands on a case of it. He planned to use it as leverage to convince Hollander to stay the night at his Boston penthouse. To sleep in his bed until morning.
  • A Boring Hockey Book by notlayingroses, ilya/shane, 2.4k     Ilya swings by a local bookstore in Edmonton to get a boring hockey book for Shane, and is delighted to get recommendations for sexy gay hockey books.
  • Cabane à sucre by bubbleomatic, ilya/shane & troy/harris & centaurs, 3.8k     Harris organises a team field trip to a cabane à sucre — sugar shack — to gather content for the Ottawa Centaurs’ social media. Ilya doesn’t understand why Canadians are so obsessed with maple syrup, but Shane is there to make the weird cultural experience more memorable.
  • They Met in the Elevator by Honeybees_n_flowers, ilya/shane & david/yuna, 1k     Following the reveal that her son has apparently been seeing Ilya Rozanov of all people for the entirety of their careers, Yuna Hollander has a realization about an interaction she once had in an elevator.
  • waiting right here just to show you by broccolicheddarchicken, ilya/shane, NSFW, 6.6k     The picture he must've made in that moment: naked and tied up, on his knees, untouched and hard, with Ilya down his throat, drool all over him, staring up at Ilya through his lashes. He was glad he couldn't actually see himself, it would've been too much, but he had no doubt this was a mental image Ilya would be saving forever.
  • Baby, you know it ain't fair by WhimperSoldier, ilya/shane & cast, NSFW, omegaverse, 9.3k     Then he gets the call from All-Stars. The catch? His captain is the obnoxiously perfect alpha Ilya Rozanov.
  • Road Games by leialoo7, ilya/shane & hayden, NSFW, 1.7k     Lily: Where are you? That was stupid. Rozanov definitely knew Shane had played a game in New York tonight. Shane: ? Lily: Are you at the hotel? Shane: Yeah, at the bar. Lily: Leave. Lily: Go to your room and call me.
  • Thanks for the Blind Date by GrendelsMother, ilya/shane & troy/harris & david/yuna & centaurs, 13k     In which Ilya and Shane announce their relationship on their own timeline, even though it gets a little accelerated by events.
  • Call Me Boring by burkiebeans, ilya/shane, 2k     In which Ilya thinks he is being too mean to Shane, and Shane tries to figure out why his menace of a boyfriend is suddenly a saint.
  • More Than All of the Days Before by learnthemusic, ilya/shane, nsfw, 6.2k wip     Ilya knows Shane's fishing; he likes to turn the tables on Ilya too. If he had any self-control, Ilya would make up a reason for why he's finally able to relax after a grueling day. Like that Marlow sent him porn again. That never fails to rile Shane up.

Anonymous asked:

Hi!! I saw your reblog of that “send me an AU and I’ll give you 5 fun facts” post —

BuckTommy AU idea: Buck loses his leg after the Season 2 ladder truck accident and becomes an amputee. While he’s relearning mobility and trying to rebuild his life — and dealing with the grief of never being a firefighter again — he gets assigned Tommy as his PT.

harmless-variety-of-garden-snake answered:

1. Ali sticks around a little longer until Buck realizes she's doing it more for pity and because it looks really bad if you leave your boyfriend after his leg gets amputated. Her original reason for leaving was the danger he was in and he'd planned on continuing his firefighting career, so maybe things just weren't working instead? But Buck is just massively depressed and feels worthless and Bobby calls an intervention but for his mental health. And Buck is pissed and upset and says, "I lost everything." And Bobby points out, "So did I, once. And you still have," he makes a big show of pointing at everyone and counting numbers under his breath before pointing his finger at himself, "six people who will show up for you and tell you that they want you to take care of yourself." "Would've been seven, but Pepa didn't think Chris should be here for this. Also, she needed to watch Chris or she'd be here," Eddie adds. And that's what breaks Buck. He curls forward and sobs, and then he's being crowded by six entire people who love him and want him to be okay.

2. Buck's parents actually show up. I honestly think their anxiety about hospitals would not extend to their son having his leg amputated. They'd have a hard time but they'd show up. They'd help rearrange his loft so he's able to get around it easier and spend stupid amounts of money on things to accommodate him. Because they already had one son with major medical issues who presumably needed home care, and now they've got another one. I think this could also be an interesting time for Daniel to be revealed by them in a way that gets explained a lot better by the two of them. Buck would still be mad about being lied to his whole life, he'd still have it out with them and Maddie, but there's more of an opportunity for them to be the ones to fess up instead of him finding out by accident. Their relationship would still be pretty fraught for a while, but I think they'd show up for him the way they did during the coma.

3. Okay now the Tommy part. 😂 He starts getting fitted for prosthetics as his incisions heal over, and he gets referred to PT. His PT is an Army vet named Tommy who was disqualified from being a firefighter because he was dishonorably discharged under DADT. By the time the pardons for that came around, he'd already been a physical therapist too long. He does fly when he can, he even gives lessons every so often. Buck finds all this out when he's having a particularly awful day because wouldn't you believe it, a tsunami hit Los Angeles and all he could do is watch it unfold on TV instead of help. He has the knowledge to help people but his body won't let him. So he gets frustrated with himself and the session and sits on the mat and doesn't talk until Tommy prods him (literally, he uses one of those weird massage canes to do it) into talking. And Tommy's like oh yeah it's so fucked when you have this path laid out for yourself and then something happens that you can't control and you lose everything. He explains the dishonorable discharge--unlucky, most guys got honorable ones with bullshit circumstances attached--and being barred from municipal jobs because that's basically like having a felony on your record in some states, so he couldn't be a firefighter, couldn't be a test pilot, couldn't do any of that. He had to go back to community college and start his life over again. So with all that being said, does Buck want to try the parallel bars again? And Buck sniffles and nods, and Tommy stands up and watches him expectantly until Buck sighs and asks, "Can you give me a hand?" And Tommy does and says, "All you need to do is ask for help when you need it." And Buck says, "You sound like my captain."

4. Tommy's helping Buck with a stretch and keeps his groin a respectable distance from Buck's ass, but all Buck can think about is how close Tommy's dick is to him and how this is literally a sex position. And when he sits up after, he has to uhhh take a minute, his foot's a little asleep, no he doesn't need a massage, that's fine, thanks. On his way out, he starts frantically typing gay thoughts and "what if"s into Google like it's a symptom checker on WebMD and gets diagnosed as probably bisexual. Then he gets home and watches some porn and is like oh yeah okay, that's all really great, so...dudes. So he gets the crisis out of the way by calling Maddie and asking her to please come over, and his voice is all weird and strangled so she does and gets to hear about her little brother's boy trouble. She steps out for a few minutes and comes back with Ben & Jerry's, because it's the traditional boy trouble snack. Buck also talks about maybe becoming a fire marshal, because it was offered to him as a possible position when he was feeling like absolute shit about himself and his life and it felt like failure at the time but now it actually sounds kind of cool and important. He'd be like a fire detective. She thinks it sounds very cool. She didn't think she'd ever love being anything as much as she loved being a nurse, but being a dispatcher is like a second calling for her. And Buck realizes he's surrounded by people who've been through hell, lost everything, and fought their way back to a life.

5. Tommy cannot get involved with a patient. It's incredibly unethical. So when Buck almost kisses him in a very stereotypical stumble and catch someone scenario, Tommy helps him right himself and steps back. Far. And Buck starts to confess what sounds like feelings and Tommy's like okay so I need to cut you off right there and tell you that a guy I went to school with has a practice two floors down, here's his name and the number for his office. Once Buck's established care with someone else, he can finish what he was saying. And Buck looks at the post it and bites his lip and asks, "Is it because you'd maybe also be interested or--" and he gets a yoga ball tossed at him. So he sits down on it, pulls out his phone, talks to the very nice receptionist, sets an appointment for that Friday that's normally blocked out for paperwork, but if Tommy's referring him and it's a priority referral, then they'll make an exception and work out a set appointment slot. Buck hangs up, drops his phone on the ground, looks up at Tommy, and says, "You're fired. As I was saying--" And Tommy swoops down and kisses him.
