Broke his diet, played a shitty game, bunch of strangers getting too close to him, saw the love of his life dancing up on someone else, and then he had to top. Worst night of his life.
had many many favourite parts of that episode but I did love shane’s mom being like ‘so do you love your team ilya?’ and ilya so confident he knows how to answer this question right like 'not as much as i love your son mrs hollander’ and shane’s mom being like EH ❌🙅🏻♀️ WRONG ANSWER and shane being like mom what the fuck??
much to be said about the fact the costume designer for heated rivalry said that shane and yuna are both wearing linen in the coming out scene on purpose. because she wants it to be obvious that yuna buys shane clothes. and then shane subsequently makes active choices to wear those clothes when he is around her because he wants her to know that he loves her. but he also wants to show that he can be what she wants him to be by wearing what she wants him to wear. not sure if i have the strength to say it. in fact i need to lie down
coming back to this i think it is so interesting how in the most recent comments she made about the costumes she said that yuna buys shane linen because it’s what she wears, so she knows that it’s nice and comfortable, but it requires “more upkeep than he is interested in”, which is why it’s not ironed and he doesn’t seem to take care of it. that particular phrase is so awesome. something his mother has given him “Requires More Upkeep Than He Is Interested In” but he keeps it and wears it and carries it around with him to show her he appreciates that she gave it to him. in the books he wears a shirt related to a charity event to signal to his parents that he’s a “good person”. remember me, your son, who does charity events? remember me, your son, who is a good and normal person who does good and normal things? and this shirt does the same thing without the addition of a logo. remember me, your son, whom you love? you bought me this shirt. and i’m wearing it not only because i love you but because i need you to remember that you love me
taylor swift has done immeasurable damage to fandom communities by actually encoding hints that she’s dropping a surprise project into her work. like yeah well it could happen to us. it happens to swifties.
i know this was like a month ago but jacob on the shift saying what makes connor so perfect for the role is that he was so good at playing “what i wanted out of ilya, which was a slyness. that ilya’s always trying not to laugh, especially at shane. that he doesn’t want shane to realise how much he likes him, and how charmed, how endlessly charmed he is by making shane uncomfortable. it actually lights him up inside, he really loves it.”
literally the mandate of heaven that jacob tierney has 😭😭😭 it lights him up inside i-
