Ilya trying to outplay his demons

[ok-notgood-probablybad]

this means more to me than it should

My cat yelled at me until i made my bed so she could crawl under the covers and sleep

Shane laughed, which made Ilya’s heart race. What if he’d never heard Shane’s laugh again?

[mymansmoon]

imagining shane hanging out with his parents and while he's away from his phone doing something with his dad a call comes in. yuna sees this and goes, "shane, someone's calling you!"

and shane says, "who is it?"

"lily!"

"oh." shane immediately sets aside what he's doing and walks over, saying to his mom, "that's ilya."

yuna looks at him in confusion as he picks up his phone. "why is ilya saved as 'lily' in your phone?"

and shane looks at her, away, shrugs as if it's obvious and simply says, "I can't have ilya rozanov saved on my phone, mom" before answering the call with a, "hey, baby" and walking away.

leaving yuna (and david) standing shocked and, once again, shaken at how little they knew about their son and the layers of concealment he's had to operate under for years just to love who he loves.

Can we talk about how both David and Grigori are on the right side of the frame, Yuna is to the left of Shane- but to the left of Ilya is just a sharp drop.

I think a key part of what makes Shane and Ilya work so well is that Ilya, who has had to fend for himself pretty much most of his life, who has had to navigate living on a different continent with no familial support, who has had to BE the familial support for a family that doesn't love him, loves it when Shane does the Big Grownup Things™. Things like when Shane handles most of the paperwork and navigating the government red tape it takes to set up their foundation. When Shane buys a couple of properties to rent out so that if the shit hits the fan and they're found out and everything falls apart, they're still getting an income. When Shane takes the cars to be fitted with snow tires in the winter. When Shane sets up lists and lists of questions the media might throw at them and includes good media-trained answers to each so that Ilya can memorise them so he doesn't feel like he's constantly fielding curveballs. He helps him with the paperwork for his visa. He fixes what's broken around the house or he calls the right person to get it fixed. Ilya doesn't feel like he has to hold the weight of the world's responsibilities on his shoulders anymore.

And Shane, who grew up with a helicopter mom who meant well but made him feel like a child well into his 20s, a mom who set up his career for him and who still manages almost every aspect of his career, he loves that Ilya trusts him with the Big Grownup Things™. He loves that Ilya trusts him to handle all of the paperwork. He loves that Ilya trusts him to make decisions that will support them. He loves that Ilya lets him help with the tasks he hates – that he trusts him with the boring stuff. Getting to feel like he's looking after his household and family makes him feel very manly and adult. And with so much of the man he thought he should be shifting to make way for the man he actually is, this is something small he can cling to.

I SWEAR TO THE ALMIGHTY WHATEVER WHY DOES SHE DO THIS

She is my tiny awsome cute lil baby and i love her dearly but why

[thealmightyshrimp]

Fuck i need to learn how to draw

But only elephant

I have little to no use for it otherwise

[thealmightyshrimp]

i really love fics where shane speaks russian, but my fav part of it is when Ilya speaks it's in cyrillic and when shane speaks it's in latin alphabet because it kinda symbolises how they grew up or something because russian is ilyas first language and it differentiates between them in a way i cant really explain but it makes my brain the good fuzzy

[thealmightyshrimp]
