what do you think their honeymoon was like if it leaned more dirtbag

still ibiza but ilya gets a lobster red sunburn through his fishnet top and also gets GIDDY and UP tattooed on each hip

You've turned me into a real Ilya girl like I saw someone on twitter say he would be offended if people thought he was a bottom and I got so mad I out loud said fuck off. Nobody knows Ilya. I don't even know Ilya. Which sucks because he is so desperate to be seen. I do however know Ilya well enough to know that he somehow does not have the toxic masculine post ussr view of bottoming as a moral failing. Like this would be a compelling version of Ilya but he does not give a fuck man. To me. Who knows. Iive laugh ilyove

offended if people thought he was a bottom, nah. scared? yeah, for sure that one. like if you follow the sounds-gay-in-russian thing… idk i’m always struck by how he makes those little wrist movements but only when he is alone with shane. like people think that because he isn’t ashamed of his sexuality the way shane is that means he is like, not suffering with it. no. that kind of fear is damaging. that level of perpetual unsafety where anything can happen to you at any moment. he’s living in a bomb shelter. i keep coming back to that scene with sasha. he’s clinging to the barest margin of security by his fingernails.

and then emotionally he wants to be seen and he also is a feral cat. please pet me but don’t look at me. if you touch me i will bite you. also please touch me. i’ll scratch your eyes out. please touch me.

can we get anne carson on hot ones

[playwrongs]

ANNE CARSON: The Hot Ones could be the name of a tragedy. Imagine that chorus. Chewing on spiced wings so their tears streamed down the masks and fell to the ground. If a tragic actor was crying from eating hot wings how would you know? The mask doesn't tell you. Only if he cried OTOTOTOI POPOI DA but that is his text. No dividing what is pain from what is pain. According to Aulus Gellius, the actor Polus used the urn that held his son's bones and ashes onstage. He was using grief to play grief. It does away with the problem of feigning. You can't feign spice either. Either your eyes water and you retch or you don't.

do you think shane is one of those people who just "doesn't listen to music"? (or at least doesn't really care what's on.) because related to him not caring about what happens in movies i kinda see that for him

i have given shane my own personal trait of auditory processing issues so i think part of the reason he doesn’t do music is when it’s playing out loud he can’t focus and can’t understand what the fuck everyone around him is saying. and then outside of a few comforting yuna favorite songs from childhood he doesn’t really like music with lyrics for the same reason. i have personally dealt with this by getting really into witchhouse and phonk but i don’t see shane taking that path. i think shane looooves a brown noise loop. he could probably do some kind of minimalist beat thing to work out to. he is definitely into like insane biohacking weird clicking noises that play at subaudible levels while he sleeps. but yeah shane doesn’t listen to music much.

hello i love the little dog so much, please give kiss for me

just gave big smooch

[clytemnestraaa]

wait that’s so funny that you said that bc my friend and i were just saying the exact opposite, that ilya would love the horror genre but i guess we were just tying it to his fast cars, more impulsive behavior, as being someone who enjoys more thrill seeking/adrenaline rushes out of his entertainment. i hc that his learned to write better in english by reading stephen king books bc they’re on display at every american airport ever lol

i can see ilya being into campy stupid slashers and like giggling and squealing and kicking when people get chopped in half with a chainsaw but then i think if an animal dies he’s like fully sobbing and i think if you made him watch like an actually harrowing film he’s going to spend the next 48 hours floating around various rooms like a drowned ghost. like basically i think he’s really impacted by movies and tv shows and is really engaged. and then i think shane is one of those people who just doesn’t connect with fiction in the slightest. why would he care about something that didn’t happen.

one of my big headcanons is that shane can watch literally any horrific disgusting movie and not react at all no matter what happens onscreen because “well it’s not real, ilya” and then ilya is like screaming crying throwing up the entire time
