“Ilya is always calling shane boring, but he thinks he’s anything but. He’s obsessed with him. He says it because he knows it gets a reaction from shane. If he used a word other than ‘boring,’ he would be revealing too much.”

Hudson Williams x Bvlgari ❤️‍🔥 «I've always been drawn to people and ideas that feel bold, original and unafraid to be themselves. That's what I love about Bvlgari, there's such a strong sense of individuality and creativity in everything. I'm excited to join the Bvlgari family and see what we can create together.»

[You never let him win, did you shane?] Yuna’s question foreshadows TLG. It speaks to how Shane grew up and to his competitiveness, but it’s also a reminder of what the stakes are for them. If Shane’s mother has a doubt, other people will be doubting, too.”

“Ilya responds to David finding out very differently from the way shane does. Ilya knows his sexuality. David is also, of course, not his dad, but I think Ilya is acutely aware that he needs to be there for shane right now. This is Shane’s time to be crazy. +

“I wanted to show this final act of shane leaving and still saying goodbye even as ilya treated him as coldly as he could. Shane is still making himself available emotionally. It’s so beautiful, but it just scares the fuck out of ilya+

“Ilya is recovering from Russia. He is high on winning the cup, but he is also getting older and realizing that his life is not going to be the whatever he thought it was because he is obsessed with this fucking boy, which doesn’t really fit into his plan.”

“I think Shane has shifted into automatic terror mode when asked about girls. He goes into a speech he’s practiced his whole life, and he’s not allowing himself to think about it. He’s saying things he’s probably been saying since he was fourteen years old.” -At the penthouse

“What was important to me with both Shane’s and Ilya’s houses was that neither character feels like they belong there. They aren’t at home until they are together at the cottage. That is their home.”

“Ilya is always calling shane boring, but he thinks he’s anything but. He’s obsessed with him. He says it because he knows it gets a reaction from shane. If he used a word other than ‘boring,’ he would be revealing too much.”

SHANEEEEEE 😭💜😭💜😭💜
