this is such an underrated ilya look. yes he’s heartbroken but at least he looks good while crying on the inside!!

He’s so ridiculously gorgeous it feels dangerous

the most powerful hudcon pic on the whole fucking internet

Zachary Suico, a fencer who competes for Penn State Fencing, spoke to @outsports about how Heated Rivalry and Hudson Williams' portrayal of Shane Hollander impacted him as a gay Asian athlete: “I read the book, and I watched the show, and honestly, I very much understand the idea that representation does matter. But when Heated Rivalry came out, I think on a personal level, it hit very differently [...] The main character is like a gay Asian male who is competing amongst a lot of amazing people,” Suico continued. “A lot about the show really resonated with me, and I felt very represented at that moment.” “Hudson Williams’ portrayal of the character made me feel very supported in my life, and more confident in myself and what I wanted to do.” 🔗: outsports.com/2026/6/17/2413…

Listening to the Long Game at work and Shane wants to be out so badly :( he mentions it to Rose and Hayden but he needs a plan, a process in order to accept major changes. I never want to hear any slander about him not being ready; he was suffering just as much as Ilya was.

this is a weirdly homophobic fandom for a show about two queer men

I need more morally grey fic recommendations, like Stigma (or lie?) I NEED MORE FICS WITH THIS VIBE, RECOMMEND PLEASE RECOMMEND.

“shane would never do this” “why do people write ilya like this” good GRIEF that’s the POINT!!!! do people seriously think that all fanfic must adhere to canon?? go read the books if that’s what you want or just stay away from ao3 like damn

ive been posting fanfiction to the internet since perhaps. 2015? 2016?? and ive never experienced such weird behaviour around fanfiction in a fandom space before like i have done in the last seven months of posting heated rivalry fanfic…

GQ photoshoot you will always be famous ✨🤍

his slavic facecard goes crazy

“Oh it doesn’t align with his characterization” BOOOOOOOO, BORINGGGGGGG, ITS FANFICTION!!!! LET PEOPLE PLAY WITH THEIR KENDOLLS THE WAY THEY WANT, FUCK.

FUCCCKKKKKKKK the bvlgari meal was so good🤤

IM OBSESSED hudson and shane are completely different ppl i swear

a silly #hollanov smau in which shane has been running the most trusted ilya updates account for almost a decade, but one day, he accidentally breaks character and sends hockey twitter into a spiral to help him get laid.

INSANELY HOT

Remember SHIAS is tagged: Shane Hollander Is Accidentally Building A Harem. And Polyamory. And I meant that shit!!!!
