“Shane is Ilya’s nagging wife” this, “no, Shane is Ilya’s enabler” that. Actually you’re all wrong. He is both.
He loves when Ilya is a menace. “Asshole” is his favorite pet name for him and “fuck off” is basically dirty talk. Ilya wants to party with Centaurs after a game? “Go have fun babe.” Ilya is relentlessly chirping another player? “Well he didn’t say anything that wasn’t true.” Ilya wants to blow Shane while he’s on a phone call? We canonically know how that goes.
But he does not fuck around with his man’s health and safety. Ilya can get into any mischief he wants until there’s a chance it could actually endanger him and that’s when Strict Shane has arrived. No, ilya cannot smoke cigarettes, Shane is not losing his man to lung cancer. Yes, Shane will lather Ilya up in sunscreen every summer and make him wear a daily SPF 50 moisturizer, Shane is not losing his man to skin cancer. He’s limiting his McDonald’s intake bc his man is not going to get heart disease. He’s making him get safer cars bc if Ilya dies from driving recklessly, Shane will bring him back to life just to kill him again. He wasted almost a decade not getting to be with Ilya the way he wanted and he’ll be damned if he lets anything (including Ilya) shorten their time together.
So now there’s this perception that Shane has Ilya on a tight leash. That he won’t let Ilya ever have fun and that Shane has domesticated him and Ilya is stuck under Shane’s thumb. Meanwhile Shane is actively egging Ilya on when he’s being a little shit. Shane is even bitchier and freakier than Ilya and it is so funny to Ilya that the world is so wrong about him.
It is not so funny to Ilya when someone tries to tell Shane to be less strict with Ilya. That is unacceptable. Ilya loves when his husband is citing statistics about lung cancer to him and making him his gross (healthy) smoothies and making sure he does the appropriate stretches before a workout and making him drink a glass of water in between drinks so he doesn’t get too hungover. Ilya has never had anyone who cared enough to “nag” him every day about his health (the closest was his mother but even then he often ended being the one who had to focus on her health). Shane being strict makes him feel so loved. He’s genuinely upset if Shane tries to “loosen his leash” bc Shane’s lectures are how he knows Shane cares. It’s proof that Shane wants forever with Ilya just as much as Ilya does.
Shane is both an enabler and a nagging husband. His only priority is a happy and healthy Ilya. And Ilya is exactly where he wants to be.
au where shane doesn’t like casual hookups because he knows he needs a lot of aftercare and he doesn’t think he can ask a stranger to do that because he might be Too Much™️ but rose forces him to go out with her and he meets ilya at a bar and they end up going back to shane’s place to have sex and afterwards ilya can tell there’s something that’s bothering shane and ilya is afraid that he hurt him or that shane regrets it but shane ends up telling ilya that it’s because his brain does this annoying thing after sex sometimes and the only thing that really helps is being physically close to someone like lay on top of me and crush me close and he’s like thanks for having sex with me i understand if you have to go and ilya’s heart breaks a little for this guy he just met with these beautiful bambi eyes so he’s like lay down i will lay on top of you and crush you for as long as you want
I love this little detail that when Shane gets closer to Ilya's heart, his hand slowly and unintentionally crawls to his cross, and the moment his finger almost touches it Ilya leans back, distancing himself. It is such a tiny moment that you can overlook especially since you're focused on the gentle forehead kiss, but I believe it is so symbolic for them.
has Ilya never experienced jealousy before he met Shane? I swear the man looks like he’s going to war when Shane dates Rose. is he going to be okay? should someone check on Ilya? I don’t think he’s ever been at a point where he’s felt actual jealousy. he’s so used to getting what he wants and he’s never been in love the way he’s in love with Shane. I’m convinced he’s never been jealous because what do you mean he looks like got severely murdered???
Would Troy struggle a bit with fully railing Harris with the force of a steam engine? Why yes of couse. But like, he already thinks he should be taken out back and killed for breathing. That man is the OCD 3000 machine, he thinks he's morally repugnant for existing, everything else is just a nice added bonus. This isn't special. He's had similar breakdowns about which cereal to buy for breakfast.
And yes, he'd enjoy being told what to do, but why are we limiting our understanding of a kink dynamic can be? Harris is ordering Troy to break him in half. Now. And everyone is perfectly happy.
you are so right. harris doing reverse dom psychology on troy is so funny to me because it would 100% work!!! service top troy!!!!! 😍
like they obviously talk about it and go heavy on the safeword etc. to make Troy feel more comfortable, also they definitely need to work up to it. AND!! i think once Troy realizes that Harris actually enjoys it so much, it would make him feel more at ease.
I think it starts with Harris just going "harder, harder" when they have sex, literally begging and telling Troy to fuck him harder. And after, Troy shyly asks, "you... uh, wanted it hard today huh?" And Harris is like "yeah baby, I love it when you give it to me like that :)" all sweet so Troy is like yes I am getting a good grade in pleasing my boyfriend.
And gradually, Harris asks for it more often. He knows his full fantasy is too much for Troy, but he knows Troy will do whatever Harris asks him to do.
I could totally see puck bunny roleplay for them ♥️ to ease into it, because that wouldn't mean Troy has to be like, mean about it. Or if we want to be even more kinky about it, maybe even some light pet play, Troy being the dumb puppy who needs to be told to fuck Harris hard.
