Snake and Mouse

i see this and raise you: scenario in which shane had a bag with him (excuse of going to a gym if anyone asked) (shane, who was going to ask and expect a prop??? my guy), which means ryba comes out sneakily to explore after smelling the lure of tuna, CLIMBS IN because she likes sleeping on a hoodie of shane's that ilya 100% stole so hey!! i know this smell!! comfy smell!!, ryba just O.O what is happening to me rn when she is suddenly in motion and just freezes, and now shane makes it back to the hotel only to find??? he has??? A PASSENGER???

where the FUCK did a cat come from????

so now he's processing 1. apparently rozanov has?? a cat??? 2. i apparently accidentally stole?? rozanov's cat??? 3. jesus FUCK i am going to have to face rozanov again because i HAVE to return this fucking cat.

and from ilya's pov?? FULL fucking freakout when he can't find ryba. like shane leaves, ilya cleans up, and then goes to find ryba in the guest room where she usually hides under the bed because. well. at least you can come out now, rybochka, there is no one-

and then?? she isn't there???

so now ilya is facing TRUE nightmare day. situationship just noped out of a boyfriend roleplay, lied about it TO HIS FACE, and NOW?? HIS CAT?? IS SUDDENLY FUCKING MISSING????

like man is GOING! THROUGH! IT!

and then?? gets a text from shane?? okay, maybe he feels bad and wants to-

"do you have a cat?"

what??? the fuck????? is THAT the relevant fucking information here? yes he does but-

and then it's just a picture of ryba on a hotel bed in shane's bag and ilya is just ??? what sick fuck move is this??? you stole my fucking cat??

"why do you have my cat?"

"you have a cat?"

"fucking obviously. why do you have her??"

"i didn't mean to! she climbed in my bag! i'll bring her back now."

and now they are FORCED to see each other again fucking. IMMEDIATELY after the tuna meltdown.

and shane is a bundle of knots inside, but they get there, he has to come inside again because ryba is REFUSING to come out of the bag because WHAT is happening to her today, so shane has to come inside so he can put the bag down and unzip it so ilya can coax ryba out, and now shane is watching ilya be so gentle and patient with his very freaked out cat and getting a reminder of who ilya REALLY is. like today was freaky and overwhelming but like. THIS is ilya. even in the early days when shane was nervous about things in bed, ilya was always patient and gentle with him, too.

the idea of ilya finally getting ryba calm and settled only to turn and find that now shane is the one freaking out is killing me.

At the end of summer, when Covid numbers were at a lower point, I took the risk to visit her in her new apartment and I quickly realized that, unlike when I’d spent the night at her house before, the couch wasn’t made up like a bed. She explained that since her new couch was so fancy and pink, I couldn’t possibly sleep on it, and so I needed to sleep in the bed with her. You know, out of necessity. I woke up with her snuggled around me in the middle of the night.

We’re dating now, and I genuinely think I’m going to marry her. Just the other day, though, I mentioned that if she hadn’t been weird about her fancy couch, I probably never would have like confessed my feelings. AND THEN she stood up, took the cushions off the fancy couch, UNFOLDED IT INTO A HIDE-A-BED, and said “I KNOW.”

there was only one bed

nature is healing

are the absolute most batshit insane heroes in the entire franchise

these two are intellectual loner siblings with archeology backgrounds who read and speak ancient egyptian, hire a dude directly out of prison to take them to a lost city of gold, and fight mummies literally with their bare hands. twice.

no one in these movies stands a chance against the carnahans. frankly they're lethal in how willing they are to make the absolute and most undeniably deranged decisions. jonathan pickpockets a dude on fire. evy's resurrected from the dead and immediately remembers how to use sai. they're racking shotguns from a cliff in this scene and then proceed to blow away half the antagonists.

eating large amounts of citrus fruits (mainly oranges) in order to induce vomiting or diarrhea in oneself

black and brown ballerinas being told that they were in the wrong place and that "the sports school nearby [was] that way"

no non white ballet instructors

not having a period until much later in puberty than what is normal

non white girls and girls who hit puberty earlier being called overweight for having any semblence of curves

one little girl (notably, not white) who spent multiple days not eating and instead only recieving nutrients from an IV bag

weight being a determining factor on if you were allowed to continue to study in the academy, my mother was kicked out for being "too fat" (in pictures of her you could see she was actually noticeably underweight)
