what i want from roselana is NOT "oh they meet and hook up and fall in love" i want there to be CONFLICT!!!
like. rose does not have any privacy in her life especially her love life; svetlana could never return to russia if she was found out. and unlike ilya, she has family she loves there that need her and she needs too. PLUS i think if i was a "straight" woman and 80% of my boyfriends left me for other men SPECIFICALLY (she doesnt even say the other 20% were straight just that they didnt leave her for other men) i would probably have only ever had pretty bad sex! with men who didnt make me feel desired! and all the men who do desire her are extremely objectifying and centered around her fame.
AND!!! FUCKING!!! SVETLANA!! she is used to having bonds with people who have stronger bonds with other people, she's used to being the one you can always go to when you need her, but not the one you risk everything for, and to meet a girl who becomes literally obsessed with her to the detriment of her own life and maybe even career would be CRAZY because she would constantly be risking her ability to go home. there's so much there. there's so much to explore.
i mean there's actually not that much theyve had like 10 total scenes between the both of them BUT THERES SO MUCH. and they could communicate so poorly... and they could be so weird with shane and ilya...
