between this nonsense and "shane has to learn how to fit into ilya and troy's friendship" (his HUSBAND and some guy, mind you)... no one's hungry, thanks
Rachel Reid also discusses Shane adjusting to a new team and navigating change in βUnrivaledβ! (via @TVInsider)
βIn βUnrivaled,β Shane is βtelling himself [that being captain] is not important,β Reid said. βThis is the first time he gets to see firsthand how good of a captain Ilya is, because I felt like it was something heβs always heard but has never gotten to see, so I think heβs just enjoying that too.β Though heβs having fun with his new team, Shane still has some unresolved feelings about the Voyageurs.
βThe most complicated thing is Shaneβs two best friends [Hayden and J.J.] still play there,β Reid said. βSo, he had to leave abruptly. Shane still has some complicated feelings about leaving that team. Shaneβs not a huge fan of change. And he did have a dynasty going with that team, and now heβs somewhere else, and heβs happy, but he still feels a little bit weird and sad about it, and itβs gonna take some adjusting. He doesnβt know these new guys that well.ββ

hrtwt hockey discourse without some puck knowledge like this makes my head hurt. having multiple alt captains is the norm and getting a letter in year one isnβt crazy for a player of shaneβs calibre realistically the cens would be itching to give him an A to complete the rebuild

I also forgot to mention that he is described as a "natural leader" in canon, so if you think Shane is too awkward to lead, you're being ABLEIST, you idiotic fucks.

what gets me is that this is a romance & TLG was supposed to have a HEA, yet making them co-captains didn't even cross RR's mind
she had to strip Shane of every accomplishment & tarnish his reputation to make sure he's under Ilya in every aspect, personal & professional

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

Troy & Scott come out on their own terms. Shane and Ilya get outed.
But only one of them loses their team, their friends, their reputation, is forced from the zenith of their career in the aftermath. And it ain't the white guy π

This blatant misinformation having 1.4k likes really shows how much people on hrtwt hate Shane. There is no other reason.

holy strawman argument batman! a team can have multiple As π the way hundreds of people liked this. where was this energy for ilya getting the captaincy over bood, hm? if you're so invested in diversity

The problem with this POV is that it forgets Shane's autism. Part of why he loves being the C is b/c it's a clearly defined role w/ set expectations & responsibilities. Having a C or an A would be MORE relaxing for Shane b/c he'd know exactly what his role/place on the team is
Replying to @hudsonwupdates @TVInsider
thats why i think it is good for shane to not have the C or the A right now. i think he deserves time to just enjoy the sport he loves to such without the extra responsabilities and time to process what happened with the old team. let my baby heal and have fun!!!!

"season 2 is so far away" it's 6 months away. The same amount of time Shane waited for a text back from Ilya.

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?

Saw the Shane having an A discourse on my tl and had a sinking feeling so I checked the new unrivalled official art and.......what do you MEAN the rookie of the year, conn smyth winner and Captain who has 3 stanley cups doesn't have an Aπ§
SVN β’ π½ β’ π β’ π β’ π©π΄ β’ π¨π¦ retweeted
confirmed she doesn't even give Shane the A
make that make any sense
RR only writes his pov to gush over how amazing of a captain Ilya is ignoring that in the prev books she established Shane as a natural leader & the best at it
it's impossible not to see the racial bias
