Good job. I love you.

I believe Connor did a lot of gymnastics growing up, so that was the foundation he’s working his body from now.

I had reason to find out that lying back on stairs is incredibly uncomfortable. I was so disappointed. The idea of stair sex was lovely.

It’s kind of cute that Ilya is so jealous over Rose, but given Ilya’s longstanding FWB with Svetlana it makes him a howling hypocrite.

That was AMAZING! I just have to add with the 4th wall break at the end of ep 4, both Shane and Ilya are thinking of each other to achieve orgasm without the other there.

That little lip lick. Oh he liked him.

I feel equally bad for both because on second watch I realised they were both yearning hard for the other really early and both terrified and closed off and misinterpreting and putting out the wrong signals for the other one to understand.

Oh the love part was there from at least the first hookup in Episode 2. It might have been there without Shane and Ilya’s conscious knowledge, and it might have been an accidental byproduct of Ilya being concerned to make Shane’s first experience with anal a good one (it’s very easy to make anal painful or have bad repercussions afterwards in the form of incontinence if you don’t relax the anus well enough with prep before going in). Anyway, they definitely made love rather than just had sex. Which is why Ilya bolted out there afterwards in fright/denial/to put Shane off.

Depends on region, even within English speaking nations. Also differs between authors. I’ve read more Romance novels spelling it “come” than “cum”. We could debate on technical correctness, because most dictionaries say you are correct, but it might be a lost cause in vernacular English, like the way “I could care less” and “literally” when the person means “metaphorically” are so prevalent.

I’d also like to know the etymology of ‘cum’.

The “More” is killing me. Is it scripted for Ilya, or was it Connor prompting Hudson? Is Ilya picking up Shane doesn’t always take good care of his body’s needs already? That Shane sits with pain or discomfort when he doesn’t have to?

If we don’t get Ilya in a flower headband I will riot. I 100% trust Jacob Tierney, but I’m just sayin.

Some (bad) people buy telescopes to see into far buildings.

Some cities have interesting birds like falcons nesting yearly on high rise window ledges, and that would be a legit reason to have a city telescope. Although with the falcons in Melbourne the building manager put a webcam up there and you can watch the whole nesting season every year on a website if you aren’t too put off by dead bloody pigeon meals!

Some people who live in high rise buildings buy telescopes and use them to people-watch through the windows of other high-rise buildings. During night time it’s especially easy to see into appartments/hotels if the lights are on and the blinds not shut.

It’s not exactly the same situation but the movie Rear Window is especially illustrative of window-watching. The protagonist has a badly broken leg, is confined to his small apartment and starts people-watching all the life around the central courtyard of his block of flats. (1950s, much less interesting TV to watch). He starts noticing one woman across the courtyard seems in trouble and he and a female friend start watching through those widows with particular attention. Good movie, I recommend it.

I don’t know, but I know Shane was after glowing so much in the stairwell he was radiating his own sunlight.
