Sounds legit
everyone reblog this!!
it’s good for people to know about this website, which from a cursory search seems to be legitimate, but there are two things about the original screenshot which seem to be incorrect.
1) StopNCII cannot, and does not claim to be able to, remove images from anywhere on the internet. They have a number of websites they are partnered with (including large social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok, as well as porn sites PornHub and OnlyFans) who will review the case submitted by StopNCII and take down the images if the images are found to be in violation of the site’s policies regarding the non consensual sharing of these images. You can learn more about how the process works here; FAQs are answered here.
2) Per the FAQ, if an edited photo was created based on an original photo, you do not need to use both photos when requesting that only the edited photo be taken down. The StopNCII tool generates a unique hash for each image that you use it on, and from what I can tell, you should only use the tool on the image(s) that you actually want taken down.

When you’re in the middle of playing hockey, you don’t have much time or lungpower to spare for lengthy chats, so hockey players develop a lot of on-ice shorthand. Some of this is probably limited to beer leagues like mine, but I’ve definitely heard a few of these phrases caught on the rink-level mics during NHL games, so I thought maybe some of y’all who don’t play hockey might be interested in translations of a few of the things hockey players yell at each other mid-game.
OFF = You are offside.
OOOOOOOFF = You are offside and don’t seem to realize it; stop trying to touch the puck and move your ass out of the fucking zone before you force a whistle.
CHANGE = You’ve been on the ice a long time.
CHAAAAAAANGE = Are you aware that there are other people on this team who would like to play hockey at some point?
ONE ON = An opposing player is trying to get the puck away from you and it appears that you haven’t noticed.
GOT TIME = Don’t panic and fling the puck into Siberia, there’s no one close enough to take it away from you right this second.
ICE IT = We’ve been in our zone for three minutes and everyone on the ice is nearing collapse, so go ahead, panic and fling the puck into Siberia.
I’M OPEN = Pass toward the sound of my voice right fucking now.
ALL YOU = Take the puck forward yourself; everyone else is far enough behind you that you should not rely on getting any backup on this developing play.
I GOT YOU = You are so egregiously out of position that it makes more sense for us to just switch jobs for a minute.
I GOT IT = If we both skate hard to the puck at the same time, as is currently happening, there will be no one to pass it to and also we are liable to collide in an unproductive fashion, so just let me handle it.
I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT = You did not listen to me and we are about to collide in an unproductive fashion.
edited to add: NOOOOOOOOOOO = The ref has signaled no icing on this play, so quit gliding while you wait for a whistle and move your damn feet. (This is probably the most confusing one to overhear if you don’t know what it means XD)
back in the day this post made the rounds in hockey RPF and in Check Please and I am pleased to see once again a hockey-based fandom full of people who know nothing about hockey circulating this crucial info XD for the record I am always happy to splain hockey at pretty much anyone who asks!
oh that just means they’re a goalie. there is no explaining goalies. one time I asked my goalie why he didn’t use a gear bag with wheels (goalie bags almost always have wheels bc they have more/heavier equipment) and he—bent almost double under the weight of his gigantic bag—looked me straight in the eye and said “it makes me appreciate the game more.” I once knew a goalie who communicated solely via gifs of porn bloopers. there’s one NHL goalie whose pregame ritual is to go sit in the empty arena and stare at the empty ice surface for literal hours. each goalie is a full subculture that no one understands but themselves

Ilya Rozanov & Bipolar Disorder— let’s discuss
So this is not going to be a complete and comprehensive meta analysis on why I think Ilya is heavily bipolar coded, that will come at a later date when there’s more of the show to analyze as I’m very interested in the TV portrayal of Ilyas bipolar disorder cuz like as much I clocked it reading the very first chapter, I can also like. See the way Ilya is being played on screen and see nothing but a bipolar character.
Ilya, clearly, is extremely hypersexual, in the books being described as getting pent up and “feeling deprived” if he doesn’t orgasm once a day. We also know he started having sex to relieve stress and anger at the age of 14, and that he “uses his body” as a way to relieve tension both with sex and hockey. He likes engaging in risky sex, and felt being interested in men was just another way to get sex. -> hyper sexuality and putting yourself into dangerous situations in order to have sex, in order to relieve tension, in order to have an escape from your brain.
Ilya also very much displays instances of mania and hypomania, I definitely think the Vegas we didn’t even kiss scene was a major mood swing in action for him— he’s manic in the bathroom scene and by the end of the night he’s swung into a low depression. <- this is the time to mention I think Ilya has rapid cycling bipolar disorder btw. I think that’s why his depressive lows are referred to in the book as “crashing”, because the adrenaline of a manic/hypomanic episode leaving you like a gut punch feels like crashing.
The way the book describes his anger is so telling too, it’s hard not to view it as Very Bipolar for Ilya to have such sudden shifts from feeling good to feeling very angry to feeling very regretful of his anger, multiple times over.
I also think the club scene in particular is very Bipolar coded- let’s all engage in harmful activities we don’t actually want because we’re angry and want to hurt the person who hurt us :) lets push away the people we love because we’re scared they’ll leave first :) and the way Connor Storrie plays him and his expressions in scenes that episode I’m like yeasss bipolar derealization NOW! It’s just all so so interesting to me and I can’t wait to see more of it on screen

fuck it, I AM gonna write a goddamn dissertation on the bdsm overtones (under negotiated though they may be!) that are rampant in the hollanov relationship and why they’re so important.
please note this is based on the show only at this time, though I may have a new dissertation once I read the books!
so, first and foremost, the normalization of kink is something so goddamn important to me. it isn’t some big scary thing that only super weird people do, it’s just… a thing. so yeah; the fact that there’s even a hint of that in this show that is already pushing the envelope in so many ways is beautiful and thank you jacob tierney.
but yes, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE DOM/SUB OF IT ALL!
so: ilya.
from the beginning, ilya is leading. it’s familiarity, for one thing; he’s the one with more experience, and he’s a lot more shameless about what he wants, despite the fact that he needs to keep it just as much a secret as shane does. but beyond that, he gives orders in a way that’s almost caretaker-like from the get-go. literally before they ever hook up, he’s there telling shane to drink more water. he continues the trend of caretaker during their sexual relationship - the check-ins to make sure shane is okay with things, the questions about what he wants, what he’s done before. he’s invested in making sure things are good for his partner, which directly contradicts the fuckboi persona he tries to give off. he’s still a total smartass, because he’s trying to maintain distance from any emotional entanglement, but the caretaking is sincere, genuine.
ilya is used to taking care of people. he’s supporting his family. he’s trying to figure out what’s happening with his father’s illness even when he’s not in the country. we don’t get a ton of him as a team captain, but it seems like he takes care of his teammates as well. this is because his entire self-worth has become directly tied to what he can do for other people. so he has to be the one making sure the situation is good, because if he’s not doing well, he’s not worth it. he thinks no one would want him if he’s not maintaining that persona, that control.
with shane, though, there’s another layer to it. ilya’s entire life is spent basically in service to others, controlled by others, so even as a top, he’s basically service-topping. but here comes shane, who takes ilya’s cocky orders that he uses to give himself a frame to work within and to maintain that all-important emotional distance — and he fully gives himself over to them. he is so goddamn willing to follow ilya’s lead because he wants to.
shane is the opposite of ilya. he keeps himself in control all the time; he has to maintain perfection for his team, for his brand deals, for his family. he doesn’t really have pursuits that allow him to relinquish control, so when he does, he fucking relishes in it. because despite a complete and utter lack of negotiation, there is always the inherent acknowledgment that if shane says he doesn’t like or want something, ilya will stop. instantly. he can trust ilya enough to let him be in control.
and ilya can then actually relish having control for once, not because he’s just serving a purpose but because they’re both fucking enjoying it. and as they continue on and he realizes that shane wants him for more than just that outward projection of a persona, he can transition from cocky fuckboi top to caretaker top to goofy, yearning-ass motherfucker who is so insanely in love that he just adores seeing shane absolutely melt for him, so he’s gonna keep making that happen.
and shane also is clearly very sub-leaning because this is the one place in his life he can just focus on what he wants, and what he wants is pretty much ilya’s dick about 900% of the time. touch starved? this man has been in a touch DROUGHT. he’s so obsessed every time ilya touches him, and he drops right into that headspace of following his lead.
there’s also a comfort in submission for him because yeah, he can get told exactly what ilya wants, what will make him happy, and can follow that recipe and get results. that is reassuring for the neurodivergent brain, that’s for damn sure.
anyway; ilya has strong service top/dom vibes, but is growing into more of a comfort and actual enjoyment of the roles for their own sake; shane ‘I prefer being the hole to the peg’ hollander embraces submission so goddamn fully because it makes him happy, which then also bolsters ilya’s enjoyment of the dynamic. they are both offering some level of control to the other in different ways, and it’s absolutely delightful.
AND THEN THERE’S SCOTT AND KIP BEING SWITCH-FOR-SWITCH BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH WELL AWARE THEY ARE GAY AND ENAMORED JUST COMING AT IT FROM TWO DIFFERENT SIDES
thank you; this has been my ted talk. 🤣

People can joke about how much of a menace or diva Ilya was being with his dramatic limp-wristy gestures before the phone call blow job but honestly all I see is someone really effectively providing a submissive with opportunities to back out of play for real when the submissive is not in a position to for real say no, stop, etc. I already saw one person saying they didn’t like that scene because it bordered on “dub-con” for them and sure, verbally, you could argue that Ilya was ignoring Shane saying no/pressuring him if you want, but physically Ilya wasn’t. He was literally like “I am raising my hand very visibly in your line of sight right now so that you know I am about to touch you sexually. I am doing this slowly so that you can stop me if you do not want me to continue.” And Shane doesn’t. Shane “fights” with him once it’s happening - and encourages him, pressing his hand on Ilya’s back - but before it starts, Ilya gives him a very long and clear opportunity to back out, and Shane doesn’t take it, and Ilya does all this without 1) speaking out loud or requiring Shane to speak out loud, and 2) breaking the immersion of their play. Because, I mean, to me it was pretty clear that Shane refusing/fighting Ilya on it was a crucial part of their play, just like Shane texting that it’s a bad idea for him to come over while at the same time putting his shoes and coat on and heading out the door in a rush. Like Ilya said, Shane likes to be bad. He specifically likes to be good and pressured to do “bad” by Ilya and giving in to that pressure. So. Idk I still think Ilya’s a damn good dom.

Ilya’s teammate Marly: So, Ilya … you haven’t had a girlfriend in like, three years. You aren’t … you know …?
Ilya: What?
Marly: Gay?
Ilya: NO! Is just casual. I’m seeing girl. But casual. Casual girl. Jane! Girl named Jane!
Marly: Does “Jane” have a last name?
Ilya *panicking*: Uhhm... Jane Dutchman.
The entire Boston team: Yeah, so he's banging Hollander.
