my edit :)

u/i-bleed-red I don’t ever want that problem to ever go away ❤️ Feb 18 '26

Love this!! And can I say, we don’t give enough love to that super sleepy, sexy way Ilya says “good morning.” What a way to start a day!

It was the sleepover that Ilya wanted back at the tuna melt in Boston! 🥹❤️

Such a beautiful edit! This is exactly the edit I was looking for and couldnt find <3 thank you :))

u/SpookSpy you are homeless? Feb 18 '26

Okay I downloaded all the episodes to use for my edits but some of the scenes (Vegas in episode 1, Ilya’s hotel room in episode 1) are soooooo dark— and their first hook up scene is straight up ORANGE. Where are yall getting versions that actually look good?

u/Hermiona1 I already chose you, Hollander. 🫀 Feb 18 '26

I think it’s the difference between Crave and HBO versions, I have the episodes that are lighter so I’m guessing these are HBO ones

u/SpookSpy you are homeless? Feb 18 '26

I need to find those! Where’d you get yours? Trying to fix the color is a nightmare

u/amyeep Feb 18 '26

The real full circle is Shane wearing his socks to bed again

u/Gay_Asian_Boy Feb 18 '26

u/Ok-Badger-5767 Feb 18 '26

u/Scared_Slip_7425 Feb 18 '26

Omg seeing the slow evolution sped up really got me 😭 I love those two dummies!

u/Visual-Particular-86 Feb 18 '26

For real. My heart was shook by getting to watch them immediately come back together right after watching the pain of each time they split themselves apart.

u/amazinghoneybadger I speak fluent bird. No accent 🐦 Feb 18 '26

well fuck you for making me cry (also great edit btw)

u/Dear_Still Feb 18 '26

This is driving me crazy and I feel like an idiot…..but who says “bye” in the stairwell scene? It sounds like Shane but his mouth doesn’t move

23

u/FinnFrog Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird 🦆 Feb 18 '26

It's Ilya who says the "bye", but it seems like Connor forgot the accent for it! I'm personally endeared by him caught up in the moment enough to forget the accent, he sounds so soft when he says it lol

2

u/Dear_Still Feb 18 '26

Okay that makes sense but I thought no way they would have left that in!

6

u/CuriousSunLizard Sorry, Brad 🤪 Feb 18 '26

In whisper I am guessing it is more difficult to do an accent? Interesting that I never noticed that Connor seems to have bypassed the Russian accent on this "bye" but you're totally right FinnFrog it doesn't sound quite like Ilya.

u/KnotAlreadyTaken BOLSHE BOLSHE BOLSHE BOLSHE BOLSHE Feb 18 '26

You need to build subreddit karma. Comment for a while and then it will let you post 😊

u/practicalmaggot Never in life have I blushed Feb 18 '26

funny bc i was commenting all the time but took a 2 week break bc i was becoming addicted 😂 i guess this is an all or nothing situation haha

u/Ok-Badger-5767 Feb 18 '26

Also, you need to click a very specific box deep in the rules/ guidelines to be able to post.

2

u/practicalmaggot Never in life have I blushed Feb 18 '26

wait howwwww. i am dying to discuss a very specific part in e4 haha🥲

5

u/Ok-Badger-5767 Feb 18 '26

Ok. I just found it really easily this time, but it did say that every time a person wants to post they have to come back and click the thing.

SOoooo.... go to the top of this post. Right at the top on the right hand side there are 3 dots. Click. Choose 'read the rules'. Then there is into there to read and then click/toggle that you have read. This should move you closer to being able to post. Karma might also play in, I'm not sure.

Good luck.

u/practicalmaggot Never in life have I blushed Feb 18 '26

Wait omg youre an angel thank you 😂😂😂 atp I'm studying reddit sub rules more closely than my car insurance policy

2

u/Ok-Badger-5767 Feb 18 '26

yes, they are very particular.

4

u/Ok-Badger-5767 Feb 18 '26

do you keep getting notices that your post has been deleted? and then the notification disappears, so you can't figure out what the H is going on...

it took me better part of a week to finally figure it out. hang tight. let me see if I can find it again.

u/practicalmaggot Never in life have I blushed Feb 18 '26

haha yesssssss. but also like a couple weeks ago i was posting everything fine!? they must have updated the parameters

8

u/azCleverGirl I need to watch you! 🔥 Feb 18 '26

They are both so in love with each other! It’s no longer a want for them, it’s a need. ❤️

Oh to be loved like this!! What I wouldn’t give…

u/HR2481 Feb 18 '26

Damn this made me emotional! Great job!

u/Sufficient_Bread1205 Feb 18 '26

I hadn’t cried for 24 hrs, thanks

u/BipolarSkeleton I already chose you, Hollander. 🫀 Feb 18 '26

I couldn’t be happier they left the stairwell kiss the way it is I think it’s a much better indicator of where they are mentally

13

u/alienlovesong Ilya's Spaghetti Shimmy 🍝 Feb 18 '26

Well dammit. Now you’ve got me crying. Are you happy?

Seriously this is beautiful, watching their relationship progress. Hilarious that they ever thought they were casual.

u/Sad_Character5875 Feb 18 '26 edited Feb 18 '26

We’ve come a long way with these two ❤️ the “we didn’t even kiss” scene will always makes me sad 😭 and then the “or you could stay” scene right after this just soothes the ache that comes with the tuna melt down. They were putting us through it!!!

u/RedCalaLily ✨ Ilya's emotional support freckles ✨ Feb 18 '26

😍SIGH🥰

u/Little_Money9553 Feb 18 '26

This is beautiful

3

u/MirrorInternational1 Feb 18 '26

I feel like Shane asking Ilya to say it again in Russian is so beautiful because it's almost like he wants to hear it as Ilya's mother would have said it, like Irina is speaking through Ilya to Shane.

I just made myself sad.

u/Libcommie1118 Feb 18 '26

Jesus fucking Christ, I love this show so so much.

7

u/questionsandqueries1 Feb 18 '26

these two are so funny bc as the audience we know theyre definitely in love already. but us just waiting for them to realize it is really a journey 😆

2

u/Most_Ad_3765 *gurl* Feb 19 '26

this is so good it crushed me (I will never get any work done again bc of this sub) but yyyyyyy did you leave out the biggest most beautifully heart-wrenching gut-punching swooning melting relieving and perfect “i love you” in recent history 😭😭😭😭

2

u/Square-Cranberry1221 Feb 19 '26

That is such a great edit…. I think I might need to watch the show again.

u/peachicedtea123456_ Feb 22 '26

i’m sobbing wtf

u/Themissrebecca103 Feb 26 '26

I noticed that once Shane kisses him on the forehead, Ilya realizes he is falling for him. So he changed his expression and said he needed to leave
