In every way this is set up to be a joke like any other short video, it even uses the trope of main character in a wig to represent their mom, but it isn't funny at all. It's just sweet and nice

sometimes you really do just have to burst into tears about it. and then it's literally fine

i don't "date" and i don't "chill" and i don't "hang out." i make pacts. i swear oaths. i forge unbreakable bonds. this makes me a cool breezy person to take on road trips et cetera

as touching as it is that ilya offered to go with shane to talk to his parents after david walked in on them, a moment that I think is as worthy of notice, if not MORE worthy, is the moment right after david has been caught looking at them and turns tail. shane, in his shock, basically freezes. he does not know what just happened. he does not know what to do. ilya is saying "maybe you should—" go after/talk to him, and shane's brain is logically processing that as correct—he says "yeah, yeah, yeah"—but his feet remain planted. AND ILYA, BRAVE- AND BIG-HEARTED ILYA, SAYS, "do you want me to—?" and points at himself. ilya rozanov has very likely never met david hollander. never exchanged words with him. knows what david's opinion of him likely is, as a player for boston and an infamous asshole and most importantly shane's career-long rival. but in this moment of devastating vulnerability for shane ilya, without hesitation, asks if shane wants him to go after his dad and talk to him about the situation. however he can think to do so on the spot. because he can see shane crumbling and his first instinct is to do whatever shane needs to be okay. well I'M not okay!!!!!!!!

anyway normalize women not wanting children as a happy ending

there's something about neil and the ease with which he withstands torture but is fully undone by simple pleasure. 2 weeks in the nest that he can barely remember but his refusal to bend to riko and tetsuji is Easy for him. not even the slightest temptation to sign their contract because pain is something so easily endured. neil kisses andrew and it is the worst thing and best thing that ever happens to him. his father and lola and his mother trained him to endure a million different kinds of pain to survive but it's andrew kissing him that neil decides to die for. he has noo defenses against andrew's touch it breaks him down in a way all the pain and torture was never able to do. makes you think huh.

i love loving a song but especially loving a small specific part of the song and the whole listen is leading up to that one part and its like im going to orgasm

in many ways ilya is like one of those “hang in there!” cat posters to me. like i know its scary kitty hanging from branch professional hockey player with severe depression, but you gotta hang in there!!
