β€œthere can’t be this much to say about heated rivalry” there’s cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

β€œSince rookie season” the pride, love and sadness in her eyes and her voice when she says it. β€œThey have been in love since their rookie season. Our son has loved this person for so long and we didn’t know.”

β€œThe summer before.” The voice of a parent that knows the truth.

They have mentioned the fact that Shane doesn’t lie a lot and the guilt he feels for lying to his parents is ever present. His biggest fears have been dismantled, he doesn’t have to lie to them anymore and he can’t. He can’t because they know him. They have had doubts about his sexuality but left him his space. They see him with Ilya and they know. They know this isn’t recent, they know they have loved each other for a lot longer and they know it’s true. They are skeptical about Ilya but they see him handle their son’s anxiety and they KNOW! The two people that know Shane Hollander the best in the world take one look at how he is with Ilya and understand all the love that they feel. They say they haven’t been in love since their rookie season but Shane can’t lie to his parents.

i love that ilya is bi i love that he’s allowed to know that he’s attractive and sleep around and enjoy casual sex and use it as a coping mechanism without it ever feeling like a biphobic stereotype bc he doesn’t do any of those things Because he’s bi

and i love that (afaik) there’s nothing in the narrative about β€˜what if he leaves shane for a girl’ or β€˜he’s not as queer as the gay characters’ or suggestions that it’s inherently more difficult for bi people to settle down monogamously bc they’re more likely to cheat and/or can never be satisfied with just one person/one gender

and i love that him choosing shane is not framed as β€˜local bisexual picks a side and chooses gay’ it’s framed as β€˜local repressed man with sad backstory chooses love’

i love that his bisexuality is an important aspect of his story without it ever being a joke or a way for other characters to shame him
