Just in case…

I’m on BlueSky, Discord, and Dreamwidth.

Please DM or message directly for BSKY and/or Discord, especially if you’re a moot or a long time follower. I won’t link to those directly ‘cause my real name is associated with both, but I’m likely to follow folks in either place if I even vaguely know or recognize you from Tumblr.

What makes episode 5 so incredible in my opinion is that Shane never asks for more. He says "you feel it too, right?" and "I can no longer pretend I don't like you". He never says "I want more from you", which is a very standard thing people say when they want more out of a relationship.

Later in the episode we learn that something that kills Ilya is that everyone who never appreciated him always asks for "more, more, more". Shane hears that but doesn't understand, of course. It doesn't matter that Ilya said it, because Shane didn't understand it. And yet, he never asks Ilya for more. Even when he asks Ilya to come to his cottage, it's not "do this for me", it's "it is going to be nice, you will be able to be yourself, to rest" and what Ilya hears is "I just want you, close to me. As you are. As the person you have been for 10 years. I just want you" and now im crying

i like that every episode emphasizes that wherever ilya goes he's seeing ads of shane hollander almost naked and advertising luxury goods. on top of all his other trials and travails, he has to deal with that.
