ilya showing how much he loves shane in front of his parents will always make me cry. he does it without hesitation. comforting him, speaking so easily and openly about their relationship, "you would leave boston for shane" "yes". he is the loverboy of all time. he's meant to be on the verge of tears with love, eating pasta at his in-laws. this is what he was meant for. the uninhibited displays of emotion and vulnerability and how none of it seems to phase him, none of it is forced. he has wanted a chance to love shane so openly and he's been given it and he is taking it all.

I hate to say it and I hate to know it but if you crave intimacy and deep relation you truly have to muster the courage to go first.

i know this was like a month ago but jacob on the shift saying what makes connor so perfect for the role is that he was so good at playing “what i wanted out of ilya, which was a slyness. that ilya’s always trying not to laugh, especially at shane. that he doesn’t want shane to realise how much he likes him, and how charmed, how endlessly charmed he is by making shane uncomfortable. it actually lights him up inside, he really loves it.”

literally the mandate of heaven that jacob tierney has 😭😭😭 it lights him up inside i-

[therealrashid]

something something ilya likes to cause a hurt then soothe it.

these images are the same to me. he likes to push too hard to bruise to needle to sink his teeth in to know he’s making an impact. and then follow it up with a good fucking or to say in so many words i love you. to know he is loved enough for his impact to be felt. it lights him up inside. and god you just KNOW shane bruises up so pretty, and he looks so pretty when he cries 😮‍💨

[therealrashid]

and by popular demand. of course shane has built up so many layers of protection in his unimpeachable skill his work ethic his diet his routine he is going through the motions like a little roomba living in a state of desperately hoping no one looks at him long enough to see anything real. he’s constantly at a remove from the world his walls are up so high. and here comes ilya who does look too long who wants to touch and push and prod and provoke, who gets a reaction out of shane every time. those carefully built up walls and he crashes through them so easily. for shane i think it has to hurt a bit to feel real 😵‍💫

Hey kid, look at me.

I want you to T-pose. Turn your right thumb up and your left thumb doen and look at your right thumb. Move your arms up and down a bit until you feel a nerve running from your armpit to your palm. Now turn your right thumb down and your left thumb up, and look at your left thumb. Keep your chest facing forward and your shoulders back. Move your arms again until you feel that nerve again. Keep alternating between these two for a minute, or look at each thumb thirty times each.

Now sit down. Put your left hand firmly under your left buttock, palm down. Keep your shoulders back and put your right hand over the crown of your head, very gently pulling it to the right. Do this for thirty seconds, then do it again but with your right hand under your right buttock.

These are stretches for the nerves in your arms, and are very good for people who sit behind a computer a lot, or fibre artists, or you name it. Do them daily. They will hurt in the beginning, but keep doing them, even after the pain has gone, or it will return and you'll have to start all over.

Hey, I know another type of stretch for this!

I had to go to occupational therapy a while back due to pain in my ulnar nerve (same nerve that acts as your 'funny bone'). It was getting compressed from jamming my elbow against hard plastic armrests that were in a too-tall fixed position on my cheap old office chair. I was having burning and tingling pain and numbness radiating from my elbow into my ring and pinky fingers. It sucked. Honestly, I found it worse than carpal tunnel, because a rigid elbow brace makes life way harder than a rigid wrist brace.

Anyways, the main exercise that my occupational therapist had me do was called a nerve glide. The stretches OP describes help improve flexibility, but the nerve gliding exercise helps move the nerve out of the pinched spot so it can move more freely.

Here's the best diagram I can find of it:

It's a little confusing, so have some extra description on the weird parts:

Step 3: thumb side moves down and towards the front.

Step 4: hand rotates out and around, pinky side first.

Step 5: nothing fancy here, just straighten your elbow.

Step 6 (not on diagram, but recommended by therapist): with arm in the same position, tilt your head towards the opposite side for a few second (works as a stretch).

Ulnar nerve compression (aka cubital tunnel) is apparently super common, but I had never heard of it before I started having issues. If you lean forwards on your desk or armrests a lot, I'd suggest giving these a try. It feels kind of weird because you can feel the nerve, but it shouldn't hurt at all.

i'm like. actually on the verge of bursting into tears on this fine monday afternoon. what do you MEAN ilya spent his entire life feeling like he was lazy, unappreciated, expendable only for shane to be like. i wanted to see how you were doing. i don't know that side of you at all. you can talk to me. you don't need to apologize. you matter to me. i love you. oh my god i love you so much. what do you MEAN shane spent his entire life feeling like he was misunderstood, inadequate, uninteresting only for ilya to be like. you make me curious. i want to make this good for you. tell me what you want so that i can give it to you. i can't stop thinking about this slow fucking hockey player with beautiful freckles. it's scary but you're brave. i love you. i'm so in love with you and i don't know what to do about it. what do you MEANNNNNN
