Hey gorgeous

When I'm sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead.

My headcanon of the day is that Ilya is not used to getting calls from family members unless they need something from him. Nobody ever calls him (maybe apart from Shane) to just simply check up on him. So the first time David calls him on a random day of the week, asks him about his day, hands the phone to Yuna to do the same—Ilya is a little confused as to why these people are just randomly calling him. He even texts David after they've hung up to confirm if they needed something and have just forgotten to mention it. When David texts back "no son we just wanted to check up on you" Ilya sits and stares at that text until he feels his throat close up and there's an odd sting in his eyes.

Ilya: this guy is cute, I should start a stationary bike race so he knows I want to get sweaty together

Ilya: that didn’t quite work. Maybe I should just give him the eye? While I tell him I hope he likes his new city?

Ilya: okay. But surely if I make him drink from my water bottle and brush his fingers when passing it over…?

Ilya: call him pretty. To his face. No way he can miss that

Ilya: desperate measures, I’ll have to tell him I orchestrated this whole ad campaign just so I could see him again

Ilya: WHAT IF I STARTED JERKING OFF IN THESE COMUNAL SHOWERS?

Shane, 7 years later: I have figured out that you like me.

The difference is that jealous Ilya looks homicidal while jealous Shane looks suicidal

utilising the gift of imagination to hallucinate moments of tenderness between fictional people

This is my actual fucking nightmare, Ilya! Then maybe it's time to wake up, yes?

my daily affirmation as an author

[poughkeepsiesjr]

ilya bursting into tears the second he realizes shane wants to spend the rest of his life with him is maybe the most perfect, precious moment in television history

SHANE & ILYA + parallels

eye contact is sooo attractive.

How did we let this happen? We were both very stupid and irresponsible. This is real though, right? Yeah.

if you're yuna though. your son is gay and has been hiding a 10 year situationship from you, and he's in love with his rival, and then he is having a panic attack and the guy you knew as the big russian anger machine pulls him off the ledge in two seconds and THAT is when they confirm they are boyfriends. all in front of your pasta.
