Shane is definitely the better boyfriend/partner & I genuinely think Rachel Reid didn’t even realises just how poorly she wrote Ilya as a partner.

And no, this isn’t about bias or which character I like more. It’s about what actually happens in canon...

[t (blexas’ version) @transshollander]

2. This may shock you but the majority of NHL captains, esp the ones who have been in the role a decade+ ENJOY their role as captain and the responsibilities the time with. Shane is identified in the books as being a natural leader and leadership is something he’s good at.

[rina @rinaisnotokay]

Suddenly everyone cares so much about Bood's A (which, again, Shane wouldn't need to "take" coz there can be multiple As) but none of you have your pitchforks out for Bood, who was on the team a lot longer, getting passed over for C in favor of Ilya?

[Sam @Steph190891]

Rachel doesn’t understand how much she has made Ilya unlikeable.
like I have zero sympathy or interest left in that white, privileged, self centred man’s journey.

[rina @rinaisnotokay]

The problem ISN'T that Shane takes a pay cut, isn't the A or C, or that he's ostracized by his team of a decade and needs to leave. All of that actually makes for an excellent premise.
The problem is Rachel Reid's history of brushing everything Shane goes through under the rug.

[MALIA 🐓🇵🇸 @Xarlitosgp]

If being a captain is not important, y does Rachel focus on Ilya's captaincy & give it that much weight in the narrative. She had wrote about it in HR, tlg & now unrivaled. While ignoring Shane captaincy until it's time to take it away from him or to jack off to Ilya being one.

@ellieandthez As others have pointed out, a team usually has two As. But funny how u’d find it ridic if Shane got C over Ilya or Bood “on his FIRST year” bc that’s exactly what RR did 4 Ilya—She passed up Bood for C & gave it 2 Ilya right away—so y u only have a prob if she’d do it for Shane🤔

[hollidayparty @hollidaypartyyy]

I can't remember who said it, but someone pointed out that of the 4 openly queer players in the MHL, Shane is the only POC & coincidentally the only one who takes a pay cut, is stripped of his C, not even given an A, and shuttled off to shittiest team after a game fixing scandal

[vitamin kay @kaymadeo]

if they dropped these first we’d be way less stressed about henry having blue eyes. you see how these look less demonic?

[Alessandra Russo✊🏾🍉 @Alessan46219279]

@msilvestern08 RR when writing TLG: I'm going to destroy Shane's character eheh everyone's gonna hate him like I do ❤
What she actually did: completely assasinated Ilya's character, making him the worst partner ever and just another ignorant white man

apparently we have the same trash can as hudson williams and it's all anyone is saying to us https://t.co/sYhGZ9o1Fz

[cens105 @cens105]

"In Unrivaled, the guy who won his team 3 cups gets no leadership role bc it doesn't matter that he's the best player with the highest hockey IQ and proven to get results. He's better used to swoon at his husband" - RR will never convince me that Shane was a bad captain.

[lulu 🫧 @shanebug1410]

it's very telling to me how ben answered the question about hudson being fun. he was very careful to emphasise that he and hudson are professionals, and i think it's because he (like all poc) is hyperaware that anything he says will draw criticism and he'd never do that to hudson

[markus needs warso to get OUT @msilvestern08]

this is pretty much my feelings on troy and hollanov

[t (blexas’ version) @transshollander]

Ryan Price had to SURVIVE Toronto BECAUSE Troy/Dallas made his life of living hell with their ableist bullying of him AFTER Ryan publicly had a breakdown because of his disability. Troy specifically *CHOSE* to make Ryan’s life harder to hide his own queerness

[t (blexas’ version) @transshollander]

And yes I know Troy apologized but Ryan’s “forgiveness” was basically a “okay. Thanks for apologizing. Now go away.”

[t (blexas’ version) @transshollander]

I think everyone should reread Tough Guy before they’re legally allowed to discuss Troy because Troy and Dallas bullying Ryan for his disability was a factor in why Ryan Price needed to leave the sport to save his life

"Ilya wanted to get serious with Shane 🥺"

Ilya told shane he fucked around a lot, would be looking for someone else eventually & that Shane was nothing but a good mouth

we know he was being emotionally constipated and understand why, but those are the deserved consequences

[Ambiguous @Enigmatic2026]

This is exactly why I get to pissed off at the 'Its just a romance' 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ It is real to Shane and for a lot of people who relate to Shane in one way or another. The consequences for a POC who is at the top of their game don't get washed away because 'he has a husband now' 😔😔😔
