!!!!!!!!!!! i love the idea of hollanov getting freakier with time, like it just keeps escalating and no one around them is safe. they always have some weird psycho-sexual thing going on and everyone has to get used to it. PLUS ilya is really good at playing off anything that would genuinely make people uncomfortable. god, this might be crazy but ilya spiking shanes drink with something as a surprise while theyre at dinner with hayden or whatever. and shane starts to feel it kick in and hes panicking, ilya keeps playing fake concern "oh no, baby. whats wrong, you're not feeling good?" and hes using this soft and gentle tone, but only shane can see how sharp his eyes are, the slight curl of his lip. he's using the voice that makes shane think Daddy and everything is starting to blur together, home and outside and where are they again? ilya is petting his head, cooing "poor you, not feeling good?" and shane is soooo gone, hes leaning over, can barely keep his head up meanwhile hayden is like,,,, um hey does he need a doctor or something???

If you're not very familiar with G1. It is peak "rule of cool." Peak "whatever sells toys." "Well I shoot a gun with infinity times two power!" It is impossible without having watched G1 to know whats a shitpost and what actually happened, because the plot is just like that. I once saw fanart, thought it was a parody, and no. No that was actually what happened in the episode.

Yeah, that's the impression I got from others too. Very 'this show could have been a shitpost' energy, which is usually a fun time.
