I don't read as much fic as I used to but one "tell" for non Canadians writing us, besides the etransfer, is the units you use to describe us measuring something. I hate to tell you this but The Chart is real and it's completely subconscious. Please abide

Yep! Also "related to work" is a little vague here -- the sciences do use metric.

ilya mad shane came up to talk to him like he wasn't stalking the fuck out of shane in that ice rink. yeah he just happened to be watching canadian men's figure skating the day after losing to latvia complete coincidence shane was there. it's like when cats bite you after following you into a room. shane's like omg kitty! and ilya is like NOOOO NO NO YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO SEE ME OBVIOUSLY FOLLOWING YOU

once again i have to say the circa-2012 ilya rozanov ad campaign for absolut vodka that lives in my mind is legendary

like he's fully nude covered in droplets of moisture, with an absolut bottle blocking his junk, looking down with a playful yet intense smirk while suggestively pouring a shot from the bottle, and the campaign is blue-toned. i can literally see it. the tagline is something like "find your wild. find your absolut."

ilya responds to ig q&a questions that say ‘whats it like to be a fucking f*ggot?’ with a picture of shane in a backwards cap and a white tshirt casually lifting the hem to wipe his mouth with one hand so his abs are exposed while he’s holding ilyas hand with the other, with the text ‘VERY AWESOME 😍👍’
