Oooooooohhh I have found some *parallels* omg π₯Ή
Finally home, so switching back into hollanov vidding mode!!!! With any luck, I'll get it finished this weekend π
I'll save the fanfic writing for work hours. The endless typing makes it seem like I'm being super productive lol
Every single one so far has been an absolute banger, you have impeccable taste π
This is where I'm finding all these excellent fics to read, in case anyone else is interested. β€οΈ
"one does not simply walk into mordor" meme from lord of the rings
one does not simply "get over" heated rivalry lol
Reading allllll the Hollanov fic at this airport, AO3 is a blessing π₯°
Ilya clattered around in the fridge, scraping something along the glass shelf, then slammed the door shut. A cabinet door opened with a bang, a glass thudded onto the counter, and the liquid being poured into it matched the sound of Shane's blood boiling. He squeezed his eyes shut even tighter, wondering if "he was being too loud" was a valid motive for murder.
A little peek of Autistic Shane from my in-progress Hollanov fic. Inspired by many mornings just like this between me and my wife π
This really made me laugh, it's funny because it's true ππ

Even though I lived in Nevada for seven years, I never understood why people loved the desert.... But I understand now. Just had to go to Tucson. β€οΈ
I wish we had more time, but we're heading home tomorrow. I'll add it to the list for next time!
My wife smiling at me on a restaurant patio with twinkle lights
Me smiling back at her, more twinkle lights
Shoutout to JoJo's Restaurant in Tucson - the BEST tacos I have EVER had. Seriously. Also excellent patio vibes π
This first sentence goes hard, and honestly, I'm SO in. π
"The air inside the Central Intelligence Agency was thick with tension, classified secrets, and the overwhelming scent of stale Folgers coffee."
Well I'm gonna read it later, so I'll let you know how it is haha π
Okay listen..... You can't just say that and not drop a link. ππ
Writing in Shane's POV comes so naturally to me. I love incorporating his (my) Autism experience into this fanfic. Not in an obvious way because that's not the focus of the fic... But in an iykyk kinda way. Your Honor, I love him. π₯Ή
"I was just vibing watching figure skating highlights."
Hudson Williams, I love this for you πππ₯Ήβ€οΈ
A desert landscape with plants and cacti, looking down into the Tucson valley with mountains in the background. It's stormy in the valley, and two rainbows are shown, one fainter than the other. There are clear blue skies on the far right side of the image
asdfghjkl I just saw a double rainbow in Tucson ππ
With great power comes great responsitrillitrence.
Listen, I'm queer which means my sexuality is 90% enbys/women and 10% "I'd make an exception" lol
Anyway my #mancrushmonday is Ilya Rozanov, and I probably would faint if he winked at me like this. He has my heart forever. Especially TLG Ilya, my darliiing β€οΈ
Two white women in their thirties wearing black, their arms around each other, in front of the In-N-Out sign.
We kinda forgot to take pictures ooooops, but here's my wife and I at In-N-Out afterwards π
Okay that was a pretty interesting tour, but about 2/3 of it was just a lecture with a slideshow and some videos, and the remaining 1/3 was a tour of the lab. Where nothing was even happening. And we didn't even get to see a giant mirror...
But my FIL loved it and that's what matters!
Here we goooooooo
Not sure how much I'll be posting during the tour, but will definitely update after!
"We're going to see that giant mirror, aren't we?"
That's one way to put it I guess lol
A cute little gummy bear Minnesota man in a backyard surrounded by five of his own telescopes. He's wearing a black shirt with a constellation design under a blazer.
Cute little gummy bear man again standing outside next to a telescope with a computer set-up. He's wearing the same constellation shirt.
I love this man with my whole heart. I'm very lucky to be in his family. (For those of you in MN, you might recognize him as Mike Lynch from WCCO meteorology radio fame.)
I'm also surprising him by wearing that same shirt today. Because I'm his favorite daughter now π₯°
Today is my father-in-law's birthday. He's a HUGE astronomy and astrophotography nerd, so we're surprising him with tickets to tour the University of Arizona's Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab (where they make mirrors for giant observatory telescopes). He's gonna *lose his mind* stay tuned for updatesπ₯Ή
This scene is set at breakfast in the kitchen, so honestly thinking of having Ilya pop a raspberry into his mouth after he says it. For vibes. π
