i think shane denies himself and his feelings a LOT harder in the book, like he won’t even allow himself to think about it more than “this is weird that i’m so into this!— NOPE NOPE NOPE” lol

If you watch it again you’ll see it. Ilya is initiating everything. Everything. Boy is down bad.

It’s why I’m an Ilya all day every day girl. He is very sensitive. He has such a soft heart, but deeply traumatized. Shane opens his heart. ❤️❤️❤️

As Ilya confesses in the Long Game, “I’m mushy inside.” He just wants to love and be loved by Shane!

My brothers gf said “I’m such an Ilya girl!” And I was like “me tooo!” And she looked weird at me “oh, I actually thought you were into Shane? Like the more sensitive kind” and I was like “girl, you did not read the books- Ilya is Shane’s baby💀”

I watched the show first and for me it was obvious that Ilya was gone for that boy. He was the one initiating things most of the time. It was also painfully obvious how much this fact made him panicking too.

Ok you need to go on the authors website and read Las Vegas from Ilya POV it’s like 5 minute scene. It’s soooooooo good!

if you haven't, you should read ilya's pov of vegas, on the author's website. it really changes the perspective, even though he still hurt shane

You miss out on all their thoughts and inner monologue. Because of this, I’m very happy I read the book (and the entire series) many times before the show was made. This said I LOVE the series and Jacob Tierney will be my hero from now on🥰

I think we need to look at show and book separately because it doesn’t change the fact that Shane could be first to fall in the show

Ilya is so baby girl coded and he is such a cinnamon roll. I just wanna hug him. The Long Game made me cry so hard 😭

Shane is a different character in the book than the show.

10000% the show presented a much more romantic?? version of their relationship. book shane is in denial abt his connection to ilya for so long, and he actively struggles a lot with wanting ilya+getting pleasure from what he does with ilya.

The "tell" for me (that Ilya fell first) was his reaction to Shane's final kiss (after he showered) after their first time at Shane's apartment. Ilya melted into that kiss and I could feel his pain at forcing himself up to leave before he let it go too far.
