what im learning from hr fics is that russian is not as entirely alien to me as id expect it to be and between the little bit i have of a few different languages i can actually like piece together sounding out the cyrillic and figuring out what the word means a non-zero amount of the time

curiously, all media peaked when i was 18. isn't that funny how that's always true for everyone. its real in my case though

episode one in that first sex scene we see ilya's body language when seducing shane - predatory, circling around him and cornering him - and then the very next episode we see the exact same body language again but from sasha to ilya. perfect wordless communication to the audience of "oh, here's where he got it from"
