They invented chemistry and no one will ever compare.

[piningandslowburns]

No thoughts. Just Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov making being in love everyone else’s problem for the past 7 months.

YAGA TRAILER TOMORROW!

WE’RE SO READY!!

🧿🐓😈💗👀🕯️

[piningandslowburns]

Shane and Ilya may have a soft D/s dynamic but outside the bedroom, Shane is the one who bosses Ilya around and Ilya LOVES it

[piningandslowburns]

They were so happy to emotionally destroy us 😭

[piningandslowburns]

We love to see it!

[piningandslowburns]

“We can have a week or two, Ilya,” Shane said. “Haven’t you ever wanted more time?”

[piningandslowburns]

Someone pointed out the contrast between how Shane had been conditioned for years to suppress his feelings and immediately switch into solution mode when he freaks out, and how Ilya validates his feelings, emotionally supports him and physically grounds him instead. And now I’m crying 😭

[piningandslowburns]

We really watched them fall in love one little moment at a time and I’ll never get over it 🥹

[piningandslowburns]

“Ilya laughed into Shane’s mouth and kept kissing him. Shane wondered if Ilya was as dizzy with happiness as he was. Sometimes he still couldn’t believe they were actually together. That Shane could have this.”

[piningandslowburns]

Seconds before disaster 😭

[piningandslowburns]

Ilya is soooo gone for his man since day 1 😭

He’s so proud he bagged THE baddie Shane Hollander

“I think Shane has an oral fixation. When there was not a straw in my drink, I would ask them to give me one. If I’m texting, I’m putting the thing in my mouth. I’m always putting things in my mouth! And I’ll continue to do that for season…if we get another season. There’ll just be more things in my mouth.”

In a recent interview, Jacob said that the way Heated Rivalry was filmed was meant to feel like Shane and Ilya were remembering specific moments from how they met and fell in love. That’s why we get time jumps and certain scenes placed one after another. I’ve been thinking about it ever since and it makes it all even more emotional. Shane and Ilya are just telling us their love story and we’re listening to them.

What Ilya said: “Thank you for pasta!”

What Ilya meant: “It had been one of the best days of my life. Awkward, sure, but I felt like, if I wasn’t already, I would be welcomed into Shane’s family someday. And that was no small thing. To me, someone who had barely been welcome in my own family, it was huge.”

“You have a chain now?” Ilya asked quietly.

“Yeah,” Shane said. “And a ring.”

Ilya smiled, and totally lost the face-off.
