i see you shane likes to feel a bit small with ilya guys but i think the opposite is true. i think shane fucking LOVES it that they're the same size, roughly the same weight, definitely matched in strength. the fact that ilya can pick him up and carry him, all of his 200 pound solid muscle, so easily makes him so hard he loses function in his limbs. it doesn't make him feel small, it goes to show how fucking strong ilya is, and shane always gets so worked up that it's some of the best sex they have every time it happens.

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

ilya telling shane about irina and how they were best friends and he hung out with her all the time and he was her protector and he would skip school on her bad days to brush her hair and make sure she ate something even if it was just tea and she was an angel and you know shane is calculating how best to gently bring up to his husband that that doesn’t sound like it was very fair to child ilya without ilya reacting like a wild fucking animal

ilya comes back from therapy with galina like three months after this fight (of course it was a fight) and with the same candor as ashley padilla in then mom confession sketch goes i’m only going to say this once and i’m only going to say it if after i do you promise you will not react no talking no faces no nothing and shane’s on the couch reading like uh. what’s going on? and ilya goes what i have to tell you. Is that I think I was treated unfairly. By my mom. and of course shane makes a face and ilya is reacting like a wild fucking animal

shane hollander spends the whole of his life going “leopards are stalking me and they are going to eat me if they catch me” and everyone laughs it off and goes that’s not going to happen that’s crazy and then the leopards that have been stalking him do catch him and eat him and everyone’s response is not “we’re so sorry for not believing you about the leopards” its “well getting eaten by leopards wasn’t that bad, was it?”
