Six Feet Tall and Super Strong
Summary
Zane Boodram @ZaneBBQed
Y’all thought the competition stopped??? 😮💨-or-
A harmless post starts Twitter discourse because, of course.
It may also start a trend?
Notes
I am back don't worry the next chapter is longer (and it's already written in my notebook just gotta type it up) but it made sense to cut it here see you sooooooooooon.
Chapter 1
Zane Boodram @ZaneBBQed
Y’all thought the competition stopped??? 😮💨
Video 1:
[Taken in the Centaurs’ weight room: Ilya Rozanov-Hollander is lying on his back in preparation for a bench press. The bar is racked above him with no additional weight. Shane Hollander-Rozanov is standing next to the bench, hands on his hips.
Hollander: This is stupid. There’s no way.
Wyatt Hayes (off camera): I don’t know. I think Roz can do it.
Hollander: (groaning) Don’t encourage him.
Rozanov: Scared, Hollander?
Hollander: Oh (bleep) you, Rozanov.
Hollander moves, throws his leg over the bench, straddling it (and Rozanov), and hoists himself up onto the bar. He moves around for a moment until he finds a comfortable position and nods. Rozanov unracks the bar, Hollander included, and lifts. Hollander lets out a yelp. Rozanov grunts but holds steady before moving into a bench press. He does several reps before re-racking the bar.
The video cuts.
Hollander and Rozanov are then seen in reverse positions, with Hollander on the bench and Rozanov perched on the bar. Hollander unracks the bar and performs several bench presses until he completes at least one more rep than Rozanov, then re-racks the bar.
Rozanov: (laughing) Ah. So strong.]

Puck Buzz @puckbuzzgossip
Debates continue to rage online about the Hollander-Rozanov affair. Fans and haters alike are speculating about rumors calling Hollander “toxic,” “controlling,” and “neurotic.” Anonymous sources are now claiming Rozanov is “trapped” and that, “after the video, Roz had to get citizenship somehow, or he’d get sent back to Russia, so he just does whatever Hollander says.” Neither Hollander nor Rozanov could be reached for comment.
↳Its Hole-ander actually @hollalujah
Anonymous source???? I smell a bitter Roz-a-Hoe
↳↳Ilya’s Curls @lavendarfalls
Are we really blaming the women Ilya willingly slept with right now?
↳↳↳Its Hole-ander actually @hollalujah
Roz-a-Hoe is genderless, love
↳↳↳↳Roza-Femme @itsalwaysrainy
We've never heard about Roz with other guys
↳↳↳↳↳No It IS That Serious 🏒 @hockeyismylife46
Geez I wonder why we never publically heard about a Russian citizen having queer hookups? Hmmm??? Let's put our thinking caps on 🤔
↳↳↳↳↳↳caecilia 🙂@caellysworld
Fr if Johnny had 3 apples…
↳↳↳↳Roza-Femme @itsalwaysrainy
Well i agree it’s toxic, and no, I’ve never had sex with Ilya Rozanov
↳↳↳↳↳Lashes by Lexi @bostonlashlex
Damn, hating from outside the club and can’t even get in 😭
↳↳↳↳↳Pour it Up @bostonbgirl
I understand. I, too, grieve the chance to be a roz-a-hoe, but babes, you gotta MOVE ON
↳Dream Girl 🌈@dreamgurlevul
Heaven forbid a man mark his territory
↳↳Ilya’s Curls @lavendarfalls
Ilya isn’t property tf
↳↳↳Dream Girl 🌈@dreamgurlevul
Does he know that????

If yall think a bitemark tat is toxic…maybe don’t get one
↳↳ally 🏒 @allywallypally
Like my man got my name tatted, I fear i’m not single enough for all the complaints lmao
Zane Boodram @ZaneBBQed
Live video of Hollzy controlling and manipulating Rozy 😔
Video 1:
[Video taken from the Ottawa Centaurs’ weight room: Shane Hollander-Rozanov is seen moving through a series of stretches, including a standing wall split. Hollander can be seen bending over until both of his hands are planted on the floor in front of him. While still bent over, he slides one foot backward up the wall behind him until his leg is fully extended. He then uses his hands to rock his body backward until he is fully flush with the wall.
The camera then pans across the weight room.
Ilya Rozanov-Hollander can be seen walking across the room. He’s not watching where he’s walking, eyes focused on Hollnader. A loud bang can be heard as Rozanov walks into one of the exercise machines.
Other Centaurs’ plays (including Boodram, who is filming) can be heard laughing while Rozanov swears loudly in Russian.
The camera pans back to Hollander, who has moved back into a standing position, looking confused.]
↳let my cens fight @censgoaliestan
Bruh 🤣🤣🤣
↳missing the Holz @metros4hollanov
I understand you Ilya Rozanov. I am insanely jealous but I understand.
↳Shilya’s Third @lolaboutjaney
Roz better than me I would've accidentally walked into traffic 🚶♀️
Hollander’s #1 Girl @allabout24
So, wait, which is it? Either Rozanov’s a sex god, devil-may-care, bad boy who can’t be controlled, or he’s a wittle bitty baby boy being pushed around by his husband.
↳No It IS That Serious 🏒 @hockeyismylife46
Can’t believe Shane Hollander made Ilya Rozanov marry him at gunpoint 😩
↳↳Its Hole-ander actually @hollalujah
Dragged him to the altar kicking and screaming apparently
↳Cents Stan @centsoncentsoncents
Lmao Shane put a bottle of vodka and a cigarette under a box propped up by a stick circa Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner
↳Anya’s secret sister @allaboutthepuck
No guys Ilya was obviously baby-trapped didn’t you hear???? He was 8 months pregnant with Luca Haas and Anya here

Chapter End Notes
my side tumblr that's dedicated specifically to art.
my side tumblr that's dedicated specifically to fic.
my main tumblr that's all fandom junk.Some housekeeping because I like firing gunshots to keep the rent low:
1. You’re not spamming me. I am laughing at every single one. Also, I love people laughing at the same shit I laughed at. I actually frequently come back to read comment sections when I need a lil serotonin boost, so you’re not bothering me.2. If it was not obvious, I am Black™. My humor can get very niche and, no, I will not explain the joke if it lands it lands
3. It's come to my attention that there may be a certain lack of decorum in some heated rivalry comment sections. Now I haven't seen any cutting up over here (good job, team), but let me be very clear in case anyone gets ideas: I've been doing this fanfic shit for a longggggggg time (I remember the citrus scale VIVIDLY), and I do this for me and only me. Don't get me wrong, it’s shits and gigs, and I'm having fun (I hope you are too!), but keep it cute or keep it on mute. I have seen some comments in other friends’ comment sections that are perplexing? Astounding? Downright headscratching? I know a lot of HR fans are new to this space and are still learning etiquette, but again, I ain't your teacher. If you take it there, I will take it to hell. You try to be funny? I will be hilarious. Yes, that is a threat. If you haven't picked up from my writing, my mouth is reckless. Don't let ya fingers write a check you can't cash, okay? Okay. (And don’t let me find your other social media I will bring up the fact that your dad left/grandma died/you were bullied in the 4th grade if I find that out lmaoooo)
