chaos chained to me.

"I'm lying to you but this sentence is technically the truth without context" is such a good trope. Like yes the way that I am spinning these words forms a lie but if you squint I'm actually not lying.

not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping

“ilya should have been more patient with shane prioritizing his career and staying in the closet” probably technically true. sure. probably also TREMENDOUSLY out of character for a guy who left his home country and traumatic family situation behind at the age of 18. like i fundamentally do not think he would understand why shane would stay when he didn’t have to. he is a very empathetic guy but i think that mental state is a little beyond him and therefore he can’t find patience for it. because to him it’s like…. Okay so you stay here and nothing changes for ten years and you’re miserable every day because they hate you for everything you are. he is fundamentally a Guy Who Got Out and he CANNOT understand why shane wants to be a Guy Who Stays Trapped.
