imagine you’re so fucking stressed out, you’ve been losing to him which your dad told you not to do and now you have to go to your nightmare home in days, you’re just trying to avoid everyone but he tracks you down, drunk, screams at you, still can’t seem to leave your side, DOES THIS WITH YOU SEE ABOVE, screams at you again, literally comes one centimeter from kissing you again, and storms off. like ok

how yuna hollander was moving in episode 6:
I told one of my friends I'd compile a list of fanfics for them, and then decided that, actually, I should just make a post about it because rec lists keep fandom alive. And also these fics are good and people should read them. First half of this list will be NSFW w/ the non-smut focused fics in the later half.
Split into stupid categories chosen by yours truly under the cut.
I have this image in my head of Kip having a slightly horrified realisation that he and Scott are now basically the gay mentor couple to an entire league of gay babies who secretly confide in them and also that not a single one including Scott knows the slightest thing about sexuality or how so many things work or what the rest of the gay world is like because they've all been stuck in their own little corner fumbling around and he's wondering if he's gonna have to make a slideshow
ahaha usually I kinda hate the wise gay mentor trope but I did laugh at the idea of kip sending out a handout explaining SAFE SANE & CONSENSUAL sex practices. way too many deeply closeted gay hockey players accidentally reinventing bdsm in a vacuum
when shane's like hey why don't we try this crazy new thing where we say what we think and feel instead of disguising our emotions behind layers of deflection and bro-y fuck yous and ilya's like ummmmmm idk if i can make any promises..... cut to ilya opening his eyes the next morning half awake blurting out I LIKE YOUUUUUU!!!!!!! like he'd been practicing it in his sleep. baby's first taste of emotional security lol he's riding HIGH on that rush of feeling loved and safe
You're playing on the same team as Hollander this year, right? Is he also mediocre? No, he's amazing. Those hands. And he's gorgeous. If you say so. You know he's gorgeous. And you know he's good. He's very good.
HEATED RIVALRY | Season 1, Episode, 5, "I'll Believe in Anything"
"My heart overflows with longing for my brother Luís, King Luís, and my sister Glória. Luís gave up on life at twenty, and Glória, at twenty-four, also decided that life wasn't worth living. Equal longing also for Manuel Valadares, who showed me the meaning of tenderness when I was six... May they all rest in peace!" - José Mauro de Vasconcelos
he was bracing himself for bad news
