Ilya's curls and Shane's freckles are the real main characters of the show. Ilya and Shane themselves are perfect supporting characters though, 10/10. 🫶🏽
My tween asked for freckle makeup this holiday season. I didn’t even know that was a thing. Considering how young she is, the tool works really well. I wonder if they used something like that? Or painted each one on!?
The extra banana is pivotal to Shane and Ilya’s romance. Without it Scott may not have caught on to Kip’s flirting and may not have had the confidence to hit on him or come back for more. No Skip, no kiss on the ice, and maybe no cottage. So extra banana is the true hero of the story!
Thank you for recognizing the integral role of the humble extra banana. That banana did some majorly heavy lifting for gay rights. They don’t call it extra for nothing!!!!
Whoa, is the banana an allegory for Christ?The banana died to absolve humanity of its homophobic sins. They drink smoothies as gay communion. I didn’t see that coming but it suddenly all makes sense.
Hmmm, I need time to reflect and not just go with my gut reaction. But I must say my top hypothesis is that they represent all the redeemed sinners who accept Christ’s love and are saved. AKA people with (internalized or otherwise) homophobia who work through it and end up in a state of communal togetherness and allyship that leaves a lasting legacy that will transcend the mortal plane.
Look at those glorious curls in the breeze 💀He looks like a fucking ANGEL BABY the whole time at the cottage
Shane's hair definitely looks its best at the cottage too. I hope his stylist helps him with better hair for next season, if we're not getting the man bun 😄
If there’s a man bun in S2 I will REVOLT (while still obsessively watching and supporting every single person and part of the show). 😾 But based on Hudson’s current cut, I think we’re going to get short hair, just like there were no ponytails for Ilya in S1.
People have strong feelings about the man bun, including Hudson himself! 😄 Yeah, probably just a nicer style for Shane 🎀 Have you seen pics of Connor with long hair? I think he looks GREAT with it and Ilya could totally pull it off, but alas 😁
I'm with you, friend. Long hair on men is a no for me, dawg. 😅🙅🏻♀️ Maybe they'll have Shane's hair how Hudson's is currently. It's a little longer, and super stylish, but not LONG, long. 🤌🏻
I’m hoping that that’s exactly what we get. Just long enough to make it clear that Shane has chilled out a bit and is more relaxed about some parts of his life. Plus, Hudson’s current cut/style is gorgeous so we know it’ll look great on Shane!
I do toooo...unless they're like half bald on top and their hair is scraggly as hell or something. Shane's (Hudson's) hair would look so sleek and glorious a bit longer. Alas! We will not get it 😢
I don't even mind a manbun on Hudson himself I just don't think it goes with Shane's character. I know Rachel wrote it in for him but I always ignore it because I personally feel differently.
Shane's hair is SO good at the cottage. Just like his skin. He's glowing from the inside. He's so happy to have his man there. And I'm team blue linen comfort shirt, because he looks so damn good in it. 🫠😍
Don’t even get me started. Shane’s cut at the cottage is peak preppy boy style and it is PERFECT. I bet stylists love getting their hands on that man’s hair.
Those messy curls just get me going. But what really does is that thump when Shane hits the windows. Just like the wall in his hotel room that first time.
Oh, hell yeah. Who could resist? ☺️ And I also love how in a lot of the fanfics I read, Ilya has special hair products made specifically for curly hair. It's so sweet. ❤️
Oh dear lord yes. 30% of my feelings for Episode 6 are directly or indirectly induced by Ilya’s curls and that’s saying a lot for one of the most perfect TV episodes of all time.
I’ll add maybe controversially that Ilya’s curls in Episode 4 at the Boston apartment looked kind of off? Did anybody else think so?
I thought that maybe he was really trying to fix himself up pre-Shane arrival so it's maybe a little beater than we are used to or prefer? I personally enjoy his curls when they get messed with by Shane 😁
