shane hollander nervous uptalk i love you. “this year i bought another one. right next door.” has the EXACT same cadence/lilt as “i have my own well. you can see it.” nervous bc ilya is coming over for the first time. TWICE. SIX YEARS APART. whatever i dont care

the way ilya is always completely fucking locked in on texting shane even in the dressing room. head DOWN smile ON locked IN wow this montreal girl works you up brother

do we agree shane is fingering himself in vegas have we reached consensus on that

i think i’ve posted about this before but god. fucking. the way ilya keeps his hand outstretched for like two beats after shane leaves. “hollander” like maybe if i stay frozen you’ll come back. maybe if i stay here i can pretend i didn’t cross that line. the hand that could mean “it’s nothing” or “i’m here” depending on how shane interprets it. the way ilya doesn’t care how he interprets it as long as he stays. and then he leaves anyway

something about how shane feels like he can’t come out to his parents without also telling them about ilya. something about how those two truths are inextricable to him

wait the recap before ep5 has elena saying “you’re in love with him. you are.” over the look between shane and ilya after the First Names Incident AAAAHHH

good morning :) i like you :)

“we aren’t anything.” to “we can’t be something.” little changes little shifts but they mean so much
