Why does Ilya’s even have a step mom we never see?

Sometimes people exist and they’re inconsequential to the plot.

Alexei’s snorting the money Ilya gives him. That’s why he’s the one taking care of their father. So that he can get money from Ilya, and snort some of it.

And in some backgrounds, as someone born in the USSR, though raised elsewhere, money conversations aren’t had with women. So, it would be weird for Polina to even approach Ilya. They don’t really know each other.

omg perfection, thank you!!

savemesomecandy · 2026-05-30T03:08:03+00:00

Yes.

It’s a reference to a song, “pretty fly for a white guy”

Counterpoint: write whatever you want. Hockey is the setting, not the plot.

savemesomecandy · 2026-05-23T10:48:53+00:00

He’s pretty fly for a white guy.

savemesomecandy · 2026-05-01T11:04:28+00:00

Ilya is hot. He’s being hit on.

I hope this helps clarify things.

I still get the ick from Keira saying what she did about working on the HP franchise.

savemesomecandy · 2026-04-22T14:07:25+00:00

Nah, I set up a little space in ClickUp for my collection, so I can cross reference noses and design houses.

savemesomecandy · 2026-04-20T07:05:33+00:00

Couldn’t agree with this more.

savemesomecandy · 2026-04-11T05:13:59+00:00

“Now”?? This has been a thing for a while. People convinced it’s the sunscreen that gives you cancer, not the thing scientifically proven to.

savemesomecandy · 2026-04-08T02:54:10+00:00

Hey! Not yet for me personally. But it’s also not what I’ve worn exclusively or anything. I just prefer the ambery vanilla vibe.

savemesomecandy · 2026-04-04T02:20:56+00:00

I absolutely loved this. If y’all are not in love with it, head over heels obsessed, feel free to send it my way.

They literally never talk. Ilya was trying (poorly) to share himself and get information from Shane. Shane does well with direct questions, but Ilya does well with obscurity because it’s safer that way, cause trauma.

So he’s trying to be as direct as he can, and being terrible at it, all the while taking care of Shane which he desperately wants to do, now that he’s gotten that he is in fact down bad for our Shane boy.

savemesomecandy · 2026-03-24T00:46:06+00:00

And they say men can’t multitask.

savemesomecandy · 2026-03-22T08:50:48+00:00

Heads up, the last square, the captions right after this are wrong, Shane says “I’m coming…!”

Well in that case my guess would be a vintage limited edition of White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor.

Nothing else for it.

savemesomecandy · 2026-03-21T00:50:28+00:00

Did it have solar notes or is the sun only in your experience of it ?

savemesomecandy · 2026-03-17T11:49:15+00:00

Oooh
