“I’ll believe in anything…” ❤️‍🔥

shane gets his concussion in spring 2017 which means not only did ilya see the love of his life get horribly injured in front of him he also probably had to listen to “shape of you” by ed sheeran in his uber to the hospital

Y’all I’m screaming

shane putting his head down on the table and still being able to respond is exactly the “autistic meltdown” everyone always blows way out of proportion. it always gets portrayed as full-blown panic attacks, sobbing, sitting in a corner on the floor. and not that it can’t be that, but it’s almost never that. it’s literally just shutting down and dissociating for the most part whilst stressing out in your head. heated rivalry is an amazing show for many reasons but accurate representation of autism might be one of my favourites.

literally all I could think about while shane and yuna were having their Moment

Shane’s mom apologizing to him for not being a safe environment even though they are loving parents. Yuna acknowledging and admitting that even supportive parents can make mistakes and let their kids down.

ilya rozanov VS canadian loon

bonus:

Too much talk in the fandom about how submissive Shane supposedly is and not nearly enough talk about how Shane has been holding Ilya hostage sexually for over 8 years. Shane has that man wrapped around his little finger and has been walking him like a DOG.

Shane has Ilya fucking WHIPPED.

You don't see that every day. Pretty big night for hockey.

the great thing about heated rivalry is somehow they BOTH fell first AND fell harder

I think I like you a little too much.
