Does anyone have any #hollanov fic recs? 👀

This is a very specific post that I am living for right now, I was instantly transported back to 2017

Into the Midnight Wood by Alexandra McCollum I know I said romcomantasy.

*bangs on table*

ROMCOM PROTAGONISTS SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT ASSHOLES

I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL

I literally read 5 books and ~1903 pages of the Game Changers series in nine days. (DNF'ed Common Goal and just skimmed for the Ilya scenes, so not counting that one...) This series is obviously the source material but it also has major fanfic vibes, so no wonder I was able to zoom through it 😂

Just to be clear... I'm not posting about current events as much bc tbh shouting into the void makes me feel terrible. I'm trying to make my account more of a bright spot in your timeline. But that doesn't mean I'm not doing everything I can irl. Get involved in mutual aid. Call your reps. Protest.

I'm just living in the Heated Rivalry feed because my main feed is all terrible news and I just can't with the doomscrolling anymore

Shane from Heated Rivalry might be one of the most nuanced autistic characters that I've ever seen in a TV show I can't believe mental disabilities have gotten this far in representation

It feels like I'm screaming into the void with this thread but idc because THE PLANE SCENE. It was good in Role Model, but seeing it from Ilya's perspective has wrecked me.

AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED AFTER OBVIOUSLY

Anyway I haven't binge-read an entire book in a single day in foreveeerrr I love TLG 🥹

Now reading The Long Game (finalllyyy) and oh my god Connor and Hudson are gonna be acting their hearts out in season 2. And that scene with the kids??? 😭😭🥹❤️

a young man with curly hair looks at the camera Alt: A gif of Ilya Rozanov smiling and then it fades to a dog smiling the exact same smile. I wasn't expecting this gif when I searched his name, but it was too perfect not to use lol

Things are bad, so... If you want to see Ilya Rozanov being THE MOST ADORABLE with a puppy, read Role Model. I'm meltiiiing 🥹

We're fully funded now!!!

We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and kindness. This is a message my friend sent a couple days ago. To everyone who donated/shared, you have quite literally saved her life. 🥹

One of the best people on this site!!! Go follow her, love you Manders ❤️❤️❤️

YOOOOOOOO!!! 🌻🌻🌻

Also kinda wanna make a video called "shane hollander being an autistic disaster for 10 minutes" because my boy was really like BABE WAKE UP I NEED TO TELL YOU THE 10 YEAR PLAN FOR OUR FUTURE

Feels SO GOOD to be vidding again. I really missed it. Just kinda fell out of it due to my pesky full time job ugh capitalism

Uh ohhh everything is working flawlessly and now I'm in full on Autistic Hyperfocus mode and I'm ignoring my wife 😅

Just gonna leave this here...

We are $260 away from getting this goal COMPLETELY FUNDED! We might actually get this done *today* I'm so overwhelmed by everyone's generosity and kindness 🥹

To the WONDERFUL person who just sent me $800, from the bottom of my heart, *thank you* 😭🥹❤️

The way the Twin Cities community has rallied around my friend is giving me hope on this very dark day.

Including today's matching funds goal of $300, we are now sitting at $2410 / $2670!!!!!!!

two men hugging each other in a bedroom with a bed Alt: Shane and Ilya from Heated Rivalry on a hotel bed. Shane is on Ilya's lap, and they're rocking together as Ilya cries. It's a very intimate, loving scene

Taking my mind off everything and dusting off my 14-year-old desktop computer and the equally as ancient video editing software on it. Gonna try to vid Shane/Ilya. It's been 2.5 years since I touched this software, but at this point I think it's muscle memory 🥰

THIS ONE 😋

The "Twin Peaks" title screen, with a two-lane road heading off toward mountains and trees beside a sign reading "Welcome to Twin Peaks." Instead of the show title, the single word "Flam" apears in green text.

I feel the same, this is exactly why I'm fundraising. I would pay the entire amount for her if I could, but capitalism...

Thank you so much for this, Faith! It means a lot to me. ❤️❤️❤️
