i love how all of shane's friends and family are like "i accept that your gay and i love you..... BUT HIM???? *pointing at illya doing the meme face i described earlier*"

idk why but i imagine illya as the toung sticking out and shaking head gif meme (writing out the description of a gif makes me feels old asl)

#1 ally Yuna Hollander

is one of them gonna sustain a workplace injury every book..... its a good plot point for showing how much they actually care about each other tho I will say.
will they have a 3rd act break up tho?? (can they break up if they're not official together? YES THEYRE GAY)

predicting (aka reading) that rose is gonna clock the hell outta shane and illya and shanes gonna freak about it cuz he thought they were being kinda discreet

someone introduce shane to bdsm

me hating mostly becuz i wanna know what illya is thinking over shane rn

such a cool part that doesn't make me wanna end it all.

coming off of the first book i wasn't expecting such a clear difference in the characterization of people in a DL relationship. like this so far has been such a nice (and to what i know of accurate) to queer hookup culture.

What i would love though is more smut scenes from Illya's pov, i feel like they've been vary shane-centric
