Summary
“I’m done with this conversation.” Shane’s exasperated now. He stands up, his legs shaky after sitting so long, and heads to the patio door. Ilya is not far behind.
“No. We are just now talking. Don’t run.” Ilya tries not to yell, but it comes out louder than he intended it to, bouncing off the trees.
“That’s all I know!” Shane spins around, blanket still wrapped around his waist. “All I know is to run. There’s fight, flight, freeze. I choose flight. I can’t fight because then I’ll be the Asian guy with an attitude problem. Oh, now the Asian gay guy with an attitude problem. Hell the internet apparently insists I’m autistic, and fuck I might be? So let’s throw that in too! The Asian gay autistic guy with an attitude problem. So better to run then! There isn’t a day I’m not running from something.Series

Shane got told a lot to go back home; “Go back to your country” was a normal chirp for him. He thought it was a stupid comment, because home was Ottawa for him. Unfortunately, everyone else thought differently and waved him off to some generic Asian country instead.
A series of short episodes of Shane, Yuna, racism, and microaggressions.

Summary
“I know you’re like, quiet about being gay. But this isn’t some like self hating shit, right? I mean, if it is, I’m happy to talk about it.” Shane barks a laugh, louder than he means to which results in drawing the attention of a few other players around him. Shane doesn’t notice though, locked in on Barrett. He slides out from under the man’s arms and turns to face him.
“You want to talk to me about being a self-hating gay? You?” Shane’s voice isn’t quiet like it was when the two first started talking.

Summary
Ilya may seemingly have forgiven Troy’s homophobic and racist past. But Shane hasn’t forgotten. And he sure as hell isn’t gonna forgive Troy as easily as Ilya has.
A what-if where Shane stands up for himself, with the help of his friends, and Troy earns his forgiveness instead of it being handed to him because he’s the poor white gay boy.
