Thinking about Ilya in the hotel room in tampa, when Shane says “you’re not gay” and he says “no, not completely.”
And we just gloss over this because canonically Ilya is bisexual but
BUT
I think Illya is homoromantic.
And I think that’s what he’s trying to articulate to Shane in that moment. Like, yes. I fuck all hot people. Why would I? But when I picture curling up next to someone or holding someone in my arms, it’s made bodied.
We see him with Svetlana. Silly and playful. And lounging on her lap so she can pet his hair. But it’s decidedly friendly, not romantic. Whereas with Sasha in that bathroom… it’s almost like Ilya is afraid of giving in to what’s between them. He’s so rigid, he’s so careful. And we know it’s not the danger (which Ilya tends to like) so is it maybe that he knows that if he let himself maybe he’d fall for Sasha?
So no. Ilya’s not “completely” gay but I think this is the moment that he realizes (or admits) that he’s not going to fall in love with a woman (even leaving aside the Shane of it all.)
Ik the rest of the community isn't gonna say anything bout this very specific thing but JKR didn't just go 'asexuals bad' she also actively stated she doesn't think you can be gay without sexual attraction. She played one of the oldest homophobic cards in the book. That being gay is inherently sexual. Like it's more than just doing a meanie to alloaces or aroace erasure she + her supporters parroted the exact same 'sexual and romantic attraction are the same' bs that Matt Walsh did already. (Fun fact he also made a whole video arguing why bi asexuality doesn't exist). The gap between anti homosexuality and anti homoranticism is a footstep. Conservatives were never exclusively anti gay because of gay sex they were anti gay full stop.
PS: If you're some rasclart TERF thinking i as an ace lesbian im gonna listen to you about homosexuality you can go fuck yourself. Go back to riding JKR's fascist clit and get off mine x
PS 2: TERF Tumblr is still crying
