well, I'm not being an individual on my own

Ilya rozanov core

GENUINELY HEAVENLY????

best alternate transcription of that scene I have ever seen hands down

Something about Ilya still managing to be insecure about their relationship while Shane is locked on like a rabid dog, like 5000 PSI bite strength around that Russian boy. Shane is over here calmly rationalizing "This is not only the only person I've ever loved he's also the only person I can even fathom loving. If he dies I die because life will no longer be worth living. Obviously" and Ilya's like "what if he leaves me for this random Ottawan journalist"

obsessed with david and yuna knowing ilya is a whore and ilya being like yes i am a whore but this whore loves your son now

At the dinner table like 'no you don't understand my slut era is over'

i feel like after hollanov goes public they absolutely get asked who bottoms, and while shane has a perfectly professional “that is a deeply personal question and i would prefer my relationship not be boiled down to cheap stereotypes” statement prepared (if he even dignifies them with a response), ilya just says shit like “is me, i am bottom, love to get dicked down by hollander, what you don’t think big tough russian can take it like a man?” and nobody quite knows if he’s kidding or not

knowing how it tends to go with male authors and their wives it was probably marge who wrote the odyssey
