If it was the 1600s do you think Jerma would get accused of being a witch and [redacted]

It’s crazy how people will be like ‘aromantic / asexual people don’t exist !!’ meanwhile everyone knows someone, or knows someone who knows someone, who ‘only ever loved “the one” ’ (translation: is grayromantic and/or graysexual)

Most people know of someone who just never seemed to like anyone — ever — either and just wrote it off too

OMG not Jack Doohan experiencing the same fate as Esteban Ocon and then following him to Haas after 🤭

okay so i was rewatching some moments with russian dialogues and i found parallel that made me emotional.

remember when svetlana surprised ilya in his house and she thought ilya wasn’t happy to see her

here she said “you dont deserve me. i have to go.”

it was obvious joke kinda thing but then i remembered episode 5, where ilya fought with his brother and svetlana was there for him…

here ilya says “i dont deserve you.”

and svetlana relied:

“you deserve me but you dont want me.”

and then she was like….

“if you ever need me, i will always be close to you, im not going anywhere.”

YALL IM KINDA CRYING ;_;

WAIT DOES ILYA SAYING SVETLANA WOULD MARRY HIM IF HE WANTED IT MEAN THAT WE GET AROMANTIC SVETLANA FOR REAL??? 👀

I loved the addition of Svetlana telling Ilya that she loves him but that he should be with Jane. The pronoun drop in the subtitles was so well executed.

And it was also so necessary to show that Ilya does have someone there for him. I think painting Ilya as someone with literally no one else in his life that he cares for outside of hockey and then having him go all in on anything with Shane would just come across as depressing and feel somewhat doomed to fail tbh.

He just lost his family and is finally free from the burdens his brother placed on his shoulders, but he is also suddenly facing a very lonely future. But then Svetlana is right there, checking his bloody knuckles and making it clear that she is still there. That she will remain there, that she loves him and will be part of his life no matter what comes next.

It also gives her as a character more depth than just the Russian girl Ilya clubs and hooks up with. She’s his best friend, and she’s also someone who stands on her own outside the context of their relationship.

i sososo appreciate just how comfortable ilya is around svetlana. like you don’t see him act so silly and lighthearted around other people like he does when he’s around her. even though there’s a sexual aspect of their relationship so much of it is based in a genuine caring and love for each other beyond romanticism.

ilya defending svetlana is extremely important to me

there's a special place in my heart for Ilya losing his ABSOLUTE SHIT when Alexei goes after Svetlana

[iloveboeufbourguignon]

i'm so glad they chose to make ilya's and svetlana's friendship stronger than in the books. i love her and i love that she's here for him

[kitsunnys]

As an AFAB who’s also never experienced romantic attraction, I like to headcanon Svetlana as an aroallo bisexual (aromantic bisexual (allosexual)) who isn’t aware that she’s aromantic yet

[hilarioushilarity]

I loved Svetlana so much in this episode. "I hope he knows how lucky he is," she tells Ilya, while reminding him twice how much she loves Ilya unconditionally, and that she always will. To Ilya, this must mean the world. It was truly so lovely to see their relationship - platonic, certainly, and no less important for it.

They're so important to me and I'm glad for this change from the book

Incredibly grateful to Jacob, Connor and Ksenia for portraying a loving, occasionally sexual, non-romantic, deeply committed FRIENDSHIP between Ilya Rozanov and Svetlana Vetrova. Queer joy queer family queer love ❤️

Ilya is short for Il y a depression
