i think both the take that “ilya and shane both have high libidos and high attraction and enjoy having sex with each other, and there’s nothing wrong with that” and “ilya and shane use sex as way to mutually avoid talking about shit” can and should coexist. people saying they forgot hollanov were having so much sex during tlg because they were so worried about ilya, meanwhile i noticed every scene and wanted to scream at them to fucking talk to each other omg. like not every time, not every scene, but it’s deffo an avoidance technique for them both.
