And that proposal scene is gonna get me every. single. time.

Lawd Ruby and Jade “officiating” them will never not get me 😪

“It could be because he was twenty-nine”
He met Shane when he was 17. That’s 12 years. Ilyas mom died when he was 12. He’s known Shane for as long as he knew his mom ☹️

ITS OVER 😭😭😭 I’m happy tho 🥹

“but Ilya was only focused on Shane. He looked so handsome and so happy. It was hard to believe this was the same person Ilya had tried to ignore in a Saskatchewan arena parking lot thirteen years ago.”
13 YEARS LIKE HELLO YEARNING FINAL BOSSES

“I am offering the only option that will save both of your careers and the reputation of this league. If you post your own statement and start flaunting your... relationship... then you will obliterate your legacies. You’ll be jokes. Choose carefully.” For a long, tense moment, there was only the sound of three men breathing angrily. Then Shane stood and said, “I choose him. Come on, Ilya.” CRYINGGGG

And I just finished ep. 5 of Heated Rivalry it had me crying like

“Ilya passed his neighbors’ house—the one where Willa and Andrew lived—and stopped dead in his tracks. There was a large hand-“drawn sign attached to the tree near the end of their driveway: We love you, Ilya!
Underneath the sign was a little shelf that held two Funko Pop figures: one of Ilya, and one of Shane.” Omg 🥹
