the only people i photograph in public are the ones staring obviously at my bestfriends ass when shes turned around so i can point them out to her inconspicuously

I don’t know about you guys, but I never interpreted Svetlana as being romantically in love with Ilya.

I think their relationship is a lot more complex and deep than either just friends with benefits or unrequited love.

Their dynamic to me seems more queerplatonic. It’s undefined, but powerful. Yes, they’re childhood friends. Yes, they’ve had sex multiple times, but Svetlana is not some doe eyed girl chasing after Ilya.

When he asks her in the cab, ‘are you jealous?’, she replies ‘I think you know me better than that.’

In the scene with Sasha in the bathroom, she says ‘you boys need to catch up.’ She knows about them. She’s actively encouraging it.

There is love there, an abundance of it, but to try and put it into a socially acceptable and limiting box is disingenuous.

Svetlana is allowed by the narrative to be quietly complex, and I adore that. For a side character with not a lot of screen time, I came to absolutely adore her and the way Ksenia portrayed her.

I think people forget that women can also love having sex without attachments. That’s a real thing that happens.

YES. Also, the scene in ep 5 when they are lying in bed together and chatting in Russian really underscores this for me. The sex without having romantic emotions behind it, and then chatting. The way he jumps on her is SUCH a cute moment. It's not romantic, but we get to see how Ilya treats the people he loves and who love him back. AND Svetlana is so clearly her own person who exists for more than to push his story along (in the show). Yes, narratively, she does this. But I felt like she is always doing something and has her own motivations rather than just existing to help out Ilya when the story needs it.

i hate the concept of having to come out. straight people dont have to go to there parents and go… i like boys (if a girl) so why would i have to say ‘hey mum i like girls too if you didnt know’. like i know its probably a great empowering thing for some people but like i feel like it just makes me feel so far from normal that i have to make this dramatic proclamation about not fitting societal conventions. at the same time not ‘coming out’ in the traditional sense of telling people after seeing all the coming outs depicted in media makes it feel like im keeping some massive secret that shouldnt be talked about and i cant talk about even if i wanted to.

I havent put myself in the closet the closet has just been built by the default created by society. I dont want to stay in it or come out of it i just wish it had never been there.

I hate and love fanfiction. I love seeing what someone caring someone loving you looks like and then reality crashes back down

[themoontothestar]

I dont get why people have to be so hateful, why some people lack common empathy . I dont get how some people dont realise people whether they are gay or trans or any other protected characteristics are people, humans beings who deserve to be treated as such. If someone simply being different to you is something that makes you think they should not exist or should be hurt or assaulted then theres something seriously wrong with you.
