someone once said that Irina might told young Ilya those words before and I could not help but make this little scene

The quote from 1x06 «The Cottage»

[shillanov]

i love how shane buys all this firewood and goes through all this effort to eagerly start a fire like some canadian mating ritual and is like "nice right? :) :) :)" and ilya is like "no"

Can't stop thinking about how much of a relief it must have been for Ilya to realise how insanely predictable Shane is. Like, he's lived his whole life with a mother who had horrible mental illness, a father who was unstable and always angry, a brother who couldn't even hold down a job. He's had to keep secrets and lie and read between the lines just to survive.

And here's Shane. Shane who folds his clothes before sex. Shane who will always be happy with a cold ginger beer. Shane who has a stylist and an interior decorator because he likes things to look objectively nice.

Shane who answers "How many times can you cum in an hour?" completely literally. Shane who has no filter and comments on the bed being dirty within 0.2 seconds of cumming all over it. Shane who comes out to Ilya the moment he figures it out himself, and who tells him point blank that it's not just sex, because he never ever expects Ilya to read his mind.

Their relationship is far from simple, but it's probably one of the most predictable things in Ilya's world. Shane is a safe harbour throughout the years, even while the hurricane around Ilya only gets more and more destructive.

People will be so mean to teenagers do you literally not remember what it was like to be sixteen. Every time I talk to a teenager I feel I should hold their hands and tell them I think they're one of the bravest people on the planet just for choosing to endure but I don't because I don't want to be creepy.

just saw someone say “shane doesn’t know he’s autistic so ilya doesn’t know either”. y’all. come on. he might not KNOW the word for it but that man is googling “why boyfriend cry when touching velvet” “why boyfriend gag at mushy texture” “boyfriend can’t keep things out of his mouth like toddler” EVENTUALLY he stumbles upon the right combo of words to get “autism explained” search results

[faustique]

the damage has been done (overshared)

[wolfentwined]

[callali1y]

every time someones says "hey how are you" and i say "good" and forget to add the "how about you?" i feel like i've missed a quicktime event

[lhazaar]

i, personally, love to straddle that fine line between “fandom blog” and “record of complete psychological breakdown”

[waltzingbi]

cruel and unusual that in order to do something you have to begin

[waltzingbi]

was anyone going to tell me that after beginning you then have to continue as well
