listen i love a little jealous shane as much as the next gal, but i think a funnier and unexplored element is that when they're out in public, ilya is just so obviously wildly uninterested in anyone else if shane is there (and even if he isn't!!) that it's not even like. fucking POSSIBLE to flirt with him.
he wasn't even WITH SHANE YET and he was still in a club giving this beautiful and flirty woman the bitchiest "can i help you???" look of all time because she was interrupting his "reading over my situationship's text thread with me" time.
IN THE CLUB, MIND YOU!!
after he and shane are together??? game OVER.
if shane is there with him before he's had enough and goes home, there could be a three ring circus coming through full of marching bands and full frontal and ilya WOULD. NOT. NOTICE.
HE DOES NOT CARE.
YOU ARE NOT SHANE. GET AWAY FROM HIM.
EW.
Also, the instances of Shane’s jealousy seem pretty normal, so to speak. We have:
Bitchy comment about ‘who’ Ilya was doing after being ghosted for six months
Being uncomfortable while Ilya is talking about hooking up with Svetlana who ‘knows everything about hockey’.
The club scene.
Getting upset when Ilya talks about marrying Svetlana for citizenship.
Meanwhile, we have Ilya getting huffy over a single text from Rose, and remaining so even after Shane says they only had sex twice and both times were complete disasters. Which Ilya clearly doesn’t believe, because to him sex with Shane is the best he’s ever had, so what do you mean ‘she’s not looking for a repeat performance’? He’s never heard such an outrageous lie in all his life.
the idea of ilya being SO mad specifically because he thinks shane is lying about it being a disaster is SO funny.
this is literally Sex With Shane!!! no chance it was bad!! it's Sex With Shane!! the fucking crack cocaine of sexual experiences!! the worst it's ever been between them was in las vegas, and that was purely in the before and in the drop afterwards, and after the tuna meltdown, which again!! only went bad afterwards!!. the middle?? EXCELLENT. AS EVER. if rose has experienced Sex With Shane, there is ZERO chance she won't want it again!! ilya got roped in for YEARS by the power of Sex With Shane! that woman is trying to worm her way back in text by text to get back in on Sex With Shane and ilya KNOWS IT. >:(
Your tags are killing me bc now im picturing Ilya scolding her for not making sex good for shane and rose has literally no defense other than "Im a woman?! He literally isnt attracted to any woman so it was never going to be good?!" They argue on the phone for fifteen minutes meanwhile shane is away but able to hear theyre still talking and is becoming increasingly concerned
