i love shane and ilya. more than i can put into words. their relationship is so sweet and i cant get enough of those small moments.
i loved getting to see shane and ilya being in a relationship instead of a situationship over a decade like in heated rivals.
seeing these men grow together, and independently was so healing. i loved the mental health aspect and how it wasn’t a straight shot of healing. mental health is messy and never linear, so seeing someone like Ilya, who seems to have it all together and a good life, struggle with mental health was… validating in a way.
i wish they communicated more, but i also understand that’s easy to say and hard to do.
