oof

I'm here to bring you some facts about Julian's real name. yup, we're talking about Ilya

first of all, i heard a lot of people pronouncing his name with the accent on "I", but it should be pronounced with the accent on "a" ya boi dats weird but that's how it goes in slavic languages

and second, "Ilyushka" is more of a teasing than tender name, it's like something your relatives or friends would call you if they're trying to mock you but in a good friendly way (idk how to explain this) (pasha and mazelinka called him like that)

if you want a cute tender name you can go with "Ilyusha" or "Ilyushenka" (accent on "u")

and that was a fangirl guide about slavic names bye
