Tuna melt au where Shane starts freaking out and so to distract him Ilya is like "I got the marble imported from Turkey, custom cut by a local contractor here in Boston" and Shane wants to have a freak out but he's always wondered about the quality of marble from Turkey, he got his counters from Italy and China but he saw options from Turkey and Brazil and wondered. He really should go, but now he's wondering if Ilya will answer his other questions like who was the architect that built this house and where did ilya find that tile that's in his guest bathroom. Basically Ilya using Shane's real estate fetish to keep him from running out during the tuna meltdown.

I think that genuinely would have worked in the sense that the utter insanity of the segue would shock Shane out of his panic attack.

Like he’s just cum, his brain is soup, the beast of heteronormativity is breathing down his neck, and he says,

‘I can’t. I can’t do this.’

and Ilya just replies

‘The light fixtures in the kitchen were imported from a designer in Spain.’

….

‘What?’

and now he’s so confused he can’t possibly leave.

This is like those crying baby videos but they instantly stop crying in shock when a cold piece of cheese slice is thrown at their heads.

So I imagine when Ilya realises this, he is urgently diving into interior specifics. All the specifics about his Boston house and he's digging up pictures of his old Moscow home because Russian architecture is foreign to Shane and he knows he'll like it. So he saves all his knowledge for when Shane is freaking out and just randomly throws these facts at him and Shane is just like

#my beautiful mind had Ilya singing fabulous from high school musical two #bed frame imported from England light bulbs imported from Spain marble imported from turkey #and turkey imported from Maine #I’m just saying words at this point

One of the most tragic things about the book that both the show and movie go against, is that after Eleanor’s death, all the other characters continue on with their lives with no mention of her. It feels like a callback to the scene where Eleanor believes Theo and Luke are following and talking about her only to find out they’re not. Dr Montague publishes his book and it fails. Theo returns to her partner and they reconcile. Her sister cares more about the car than she does about Eleanor. Eleanor desperately wanted to be loved and to belong and to have an impact on other lives but when she is unable to have it in life, she seeks for it in death. Yet the novel ends as it begins; whatever walks there walks alone. There is no beauty or satisfaction in her death; it does not allow her belonging or companionship and she does not impact Hill House or its former inhabitants in any meaningful way.

nell vance is the best character of all time because i have never seen the brutal effect loneliness has on a person represented so well or completely - for not only are you alone, but in your isolation you have grown so malformed and desperate that you become unable to escape the isolation that made you. loneliness makes you a creature that other people can't love - or can't love enough to save you, because you don't have the experience you need to make yourself lovable. it's a vicious cycle. because you've never been wanted anywhere, you'll never be wanted anywhere.
