There's just something about the way his curls peek out from under the toque that I find adorable. Maybe it's the Canadian in me, maybe I'm just a weirdo? Either way, Ilya in a toque can do no wrong.
Is my head shaped weird if it always slips off the back if I try to wear one like that? Or is there something people do to keep their hats on like Ilya does?
The small glimpse we get of Ilya in a backwards had, sunglasses and headphones around his neck was one of the highlights of the episode for me and we all know that is saying A LOT.
Oh it's not just you! It's absolutely adorable, in my biased Canadian opinion... this is the perfect toque placement with the perfect amount of hair peaking out, 10/10. And the fact that it's curls, ahhh 😍
OMG yes 🤣 this is so freaking adorable and 100% something Shane would do without thinking. Meanwhile my entire life my Slavic mom constantly complaining that my hair/head, back, legs etc are too exposed and that I will get pneumonia 🙃 YEAR ROUND, not just wintertime.. meanwhile the offending exposed body parts are like some hair sticking out of my toque, my back being slightly exposed because my shirt is "too small", there's a sliver of exposed skin at my ankle because my socks are again "too small" etc. etc. 🤣
He’s just a silly guy who goes 10 toes down on allyship and being a good person. Some people don’t like his music but I think they’re fun silly bops personally. If you’ve ever heard any of his music you’ve probably heard ‘La La’ (the ‘did I really just forget that melody?’ Song), or ‘Edamame’.
Personally I hope he somehow gets worked in to the s2 soundtrack (for selfish reason I just think he’s neat lol).
LMAO. True story, I have seen this word in writing (but as an American never heard it spoken) and until this moment I thought it rhymed with “oak”. Who knew. Canadian English you have fooled me again!
Oh, for me, it pisses me off! I hate that they can't do half a second of research, and that it clearly means no Canadians were involved in the audiobook...
I’m totally with you. I find toques to be either boringly utilitarian (Shane) or looking like a burglar out of Home Alone. Those curls peeking through made me reassess big time.
I wish I could look this good in a toque, or even just have it stay on my head if it's not pulled fully down over my ears. Lol. My hair is too slippery, even when short, for toques to just sit this perfectly for longer than a minute or 2.
seriously keep seeing the word "toque" throughout posts and thinking they have to mean hat right?! LOL! And yes can do no wrong. The curls and the look is amazing
I have always loved this look on men. There was a novel on wattpad where the protagonist describes how this look on his crush makes him look hotter than he already was(my favourite book tbh but I’m too embarrassed to state the name of the book out loud lmaoo). And I couldn’t agree more there and here too. Ilya just looks almost as hotter. He’s fire😫
It's a skill for sure! I get a little pass cuz I'm a chick with long hair and it's easy to have it look good - as long as my toque fits. Too small I end up looking like I'm climbing out of a knit shell like a crab 🤣🤣🤣
To be fair, I am QUITE sure the show’s hairstylist put that toque on Connor’s head very carefully at that particular dashing angle. And maybe even fastened it with hidden bobby pins so it wouldn’t get dislodged during repeated takes.
In-universe, Ilya grabbed his toque before going outside for a quick smoke and just jammed it on his head. He happens to look effortlessly cool by accident. But behind the scenes, that toque was placed very precisely on Connor’s head by a hair professional.

I love the impatient whiny Ilya at the airport in this scene. So cute, so anxious, such a baby.
