it's rotten work

do u think the death of harambe in 2016 pushed ilya over the edge. svetlana flew back from russia when she received a text from ilya saying “why do the innocent suffer” after the harambe news broke and she thought he was gonna off himself

ilya’s a dramatic texter always. he texts marly “we must be gone to be truly appreciated” out the blue and marly has to drive to Ilya’s apartment in the middle of the night to find ilya watching a fucking documentary on sardine migration and how climate change is effecting fishermen’s catches and ruining their livelihoods and marly just cracks open a coke and sits close next to ilya and finishes the documentary with him because he loves him despite his dramatic ass

do you ever think about ilya and just go a little insane? I mean, that's the guy who won the stanley cup for his dead mother. he wears his mother's necklace. he keeps ginger ale in his fridge for shane. he play fights with svetlana. he got nervous when shane kissed him on the forehead after they had sex. he tried to combe back his hair back before opening the door for shane. he asked shane to stay. he made shane a tuna melt. he played with kids in the pool. he gets scared of loon noises. he cried when he told shane he loved him. he confessed his love in russian first. he checked the meaning of compatible to make sure he understood what it meant. he wanted to hold shane's hand at the beach. he devoured those spaghetti. he loves being shane's boyfriend. he loves being part of a family that actually loves him. he is so full of love!

i do think when ilya introduces shane and svetlana he’s so excited because yay they’re gonna talk about me and how sexy I am and good at fucking i am the entire time but WRONG they just talk about hockey all night long and shane and svetlana both have a hand on ilya touching him while the other hand is waving around when they talk and completely ignore ilya otherwise and ilya is like omg this is so boring but he actually is having the best night ever because his entire world is sitting on this couch with him nerding out over hockey and playing with his hair and fingers while they do it and he is just sitting there like 🥰

yeah the reason ilya’s depression gets worse in ottawa is not because he hates ottawa and hates the centaurs. like don’t get me wrong it doesn’t help that he’s suddenly in a new place and on a shit team. but that’s not the problem. the problem is that he’s spent almost a decade playing the game of ‘well if i had what i wanted then i’d be fixed’ and then he got what he wanted - his dad is gone and he doesn’t have to go back to russia or have contact with his horrible brother and shane loves him and he loves shane and they’re going to be together now - and unfortunately it didn’t fix a damn thing

PHRASE ADDED TO INVENTORY!

like we must never forget how much shane scares ilya. shane turns those big wet trusting brown eyes on ilya and gives him a little forehead smooch and ilya has to ghost him for six months because he’s so freaked out like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa why are you acting like I’m a nice guy who can be trusted with your trust!!!!!!!!! I just thought it was hot to deflower the nerdy uptight virgin I didn’t know the nerdy uptight virgin was securely attached and thought it was okay to love with his heart wide open!!!!!!!! those kinds of freaks should come with a warning label!!!!!!!!!!!

Enough of this. Now put on caramelldansen
