PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION (2026)

hollanov I love you skip I love you
I just KNOW Ilya is the kind of person who uses English being his second language to be a fierce ally to any marginalised group. He’ll be in locker rooms like “What do you mean? No, no, explain it to me. I don’t understand the joke. Tell me what’s so funny about that.” with a continuously rising level of aggression
I would like to relax with you. For once.
HEATED RIVALRY 1x06 “The Cottage”
I don’t know that side of you. // I need you.
Heated Rivalry
So I keep seeing things like “it has no plot” or “just sex and no plot” about Heated Rivalry and I don’t understand. Like, the romance is the plot. Two closeted idiots meet and have sex and slowly fall in love despite being from extremely different backgrounds and worlds and playing for rival teams is actually quite a lot of plot actually? What are people expecting? Heists? Aliens? Spies? Watching them both navigate their emotions is more exciting to me than most action movies. The sex is just a bonus (and a legitimate emotional storytelling tactic, in book and show).
Ilya: I could marry Svetlana to get American citizenship
Shane: and I could commit a murder suicide right now. See how we’re both saying shit
