ok real quick question about Sasha. Do you see any of the boys calling her mom at some point or just by her name? for some reason I saw this scene of Sergei asking Sasha if it is ok to call her "mother" or mom, like years later after G-rev when he gotten really attached to her or something. I can see yuiry being the one calling her by her first name for the longest time or something like that, not sure about the other 2. What do you think?
i think i mentioned that somewhere!! but you’re absolutely right, it’s only years later that the lot of them actually say the word “Mom” out loud to her – before, they all had various nicknames for her.
Tala, disgruntled and teasing lil shit he is, usually just calls her Babushka to which Sasha almost every time replies with “who are you calling old!”
Bryan is the one who keeps calling her Boss Lady since he’s a bit of a troublemaker thanks to his impulsiveness, so whenever he gets in trouble with her he just tries to wave her off with a “geez, easy there Boss Lady”. He still gets grounded anyway.
Spencer is more on the polite side of things, also being a rather nervous one, and has taking to calling her Miss Sasha most of the time, or just plain old Ma’am. It’s cute, but it makes her feel old, lmao.
For me, I always think it was actually Ian who slipped up first and called her Mom out of pure reflex – having been just as deprived of parental affection like the others, but also being the youngest, I think Ian would’ve latched on pretty quickly since a potential parental figure who was willing to care for them was there right under his nose. Sure, he won’t trust her that quickly but he’s young and starved for any kind of affection and appreciation and the fact sacred the others a little because they know how dangerous it can get when they show themselves vulnerable.
Overall, however, all of them collectively call her Boss Lady due to the fact that they hear it so often from Bryan, it kinda just stuck around, and they all found it a lot better to just call her that instead of Mom/Mother, they had an image to uphold after all.
Doesn’t stop Ian from snitching on them tho, lmao, he stopped being embarrassed of calling her Mom after a while so now he’s taking full advantage.
[Bonus: Kai just calls her Lady in russian but one time he once unknowingly called her Matushka when he was exasperated and Tala has yet to let him live it down.]
