Okay, I’m glad we’re addressing Ilya’s emotional dependence on this relationship. It also makes sense that he doesn’t realise how unhealthy it is to focus solely on your romantic relationship and work your life around it.

How are you teaching your kids to not be homophobic but also telling them nail polish is only for girls Hayden 🫵🏻

she gave birth to 4 children and you’re not even capable of getting a vasectomy, she has to also have tubal ligation which is a lot more painful?? no wonder i’m reading mm bitch also saying she’s fixed is crazyyy i hate men

i find the juxtaposition of Ilya’s longing for something more public against Shane’s “not minding pretending” simply being friends with Ilya publicly a really good way of pushing the anxieties of queerness in different spaces beyond simply accepting the truth about oneself. especially in the context of a sequel it’s an impactful step forward in their narrative arcs both individually and separately that can either be wonderfully cute or fantastically heartbreaking the further we get into the book :”(
