I love it for Ilya, he is enjoing his pasta with a little dance and he has know a loving family ❤

This was so my coming out…. Nothing like your parents meeting you and going “ so how long have you been seeing him”

Watching you cry made me cry all over again. It’s such a beautiful season finale and perfect ending if we never got more. Also, your coming out story with your mom sounds adorable because she seems to have known you so well when you did.

Your eyes and reaction so touching! And how simple you understand about what will season 2))

I just binged all your Heated Rivalry reactions, and now you just posted!

You're absolutely beautiful! When you cry we love how honest you are and it IS beautiful. Can't wait till season 2, much love, happy new year! ❤

I just watched your reaction series, and I just want to say thank you 🙏🏻
Your honesty and genuine reaction warm my heart 🫶🏻
It’s as if your tender soul shines through ❣️

Euphoria has a season 3. Move along😂. Applause Applause. Awards for all on this shoe string budget done in 35 days. The director wrote the phone call. Not in the book. Genius❤ love ya❤

Yeah the only one person who was okay with me being gay was my grandma. She actually asked if I had a boyfriend or a girlfriend. The rest of my family hate me and they told me that I was dead to them and that I was going to go hell for being gay. Especially my mom. Hugs and love to you. Happy new year. How are you doing?

❤️

In Russian such bad words it’s only aggression and not means sexual things. His brother always hate him and feel jealous because of his success. If he knows his secret, he take more money of Ilya and don’t stop so simply

"She would have loved you. Like I love you."

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Held tears in until the credits with them just lovingly together and the song in the background. I found it so moving. Loved all your reactions to the show!

I am curious about the season 3 announcement. Shane and Ilya actually are the subjects of Books 2 {Heated Rivalry} and 6 (The Long Game}. I see The Long Game for Season 2, but what is Season 3 going to be about? All the other books are individual stories about other couples. They already did Scott and Kip's Book 1 story, Game Changers. I kinda hope it's either Eric and Kyle or Troy and Hunter. Ilya appears more in Troy and Hunter's story, though. In fact, The Long Game revisited a lot of the content from Troy and Hunter's book 5. Who knows? We are going to have to wait a long time to find out.

I hope you read the books, they are so good. I would love to post a spoiler for how I think they could cut the second book into 2 seasons. I really enjoyed this

I know a lot of people give the dad crap for driving away, but as both a gay man and a father, I get his reaction. Dads are human and we make mistakes. I could totally see him not knowing what to do and getting overwhelmed with the situation.

Also, I have been breathless thinking about how Ilya’s defenses dropped this episode. He had very few people in his life that didn’t also want something from him. He loved his mom but she died when he was young, which could cause issues with attachment. His father and brother only saw him as a meal ticket. So it makes sense why he would be so guarded even with Shane until he could see a future with him. We saw all of those defenses come down as he leaned into his love for Shane. Beautiful to watch.

Yeah my family is more like Ilya's family.  My own mother said I was going to hell.

Yes Andres watch Euphoria it goes there and then some 😂
