Miscellania Of Sillies

I just want to know you

Whoever said his side profile is swaggy is soooooooo right

i think they could reach a kind of uneasy truce where shane could eventually be glad that ilya has a non-shane-dependent source of love and support in his life and that svetlana was there for love and support throughout his childhood when ilya was so desperately lonely. but i don’t think shane gets there until they’ve been married for several years, and i don’t think he is ever going to be FRIENDS with svetlana. if only because svetlana is like “ilya your new boyfriend is controlling and also you are having a manic episode” and ilya blocks her and then unblocks her eventually but it’s weird for a long while.

also i DO think shane is a jealous person both of svetlana but also specifically he’s jealous of ilya’s bisexuality because shane does NOT wanna be here and queer he just reluctantly had to accept having no choice in the matter. so his weird relationship with svetlana is like… not totally that he’s jealous of her. an imperfect analogy would be if you wanted to go to medical school really badly and that was your assumption and goal all your life, and then you didn’t get in. and your boyfriend DID get in, and he didn’t even care that much, and he decided NOT to go so you could be together. and now whenever he brings up almost going to medical school you get really bitter and twitchy. in some strange way, shane respects ilya less for choosing shane over heterosexuality. just like he respects ilya less for choosing shane over hockey.

anyways i don’t think shane himself actually comes around on svetlana until she accidentally lets slip (because ilya would never) that ilya tried to kill himself when he was 15 and she was the one who stopped him and covered for him which allowed him to keep playing hockey. and shane is soooo mad and ilya is like “she is exaggerating and it was never relevant to bring up!” and shane finally talks to her later is like solemnly. gritted teeth. “svetlana. i owe you. an… apology….”

KYLE GALLNER as Benson in The Passenger (2023)

Scott is archie because every time he's on screen you're like oh I guess archie is here now. Crucially he is not just archie he is also the black hood.

Svetlana is Veronica and I think the parallel of Hiram owning everything and Sergei helping the Rozanovs stay afloat is very compelling. Sasha Nolastname is Kevin because he's the gay one and Cliff is Reggie but specially Charles Melton Reggie. Obviously.

Actually thinking more about it late show Kevin has a lot of Rose in him... regardless of it all Ilya is Cheryl and his mothers corpse is in his walls just like Jason is for her #yay. This is my heated riverdale
