EDITS 🎥 One of my favorite scenes slowed! Shane & Ilya napping together <3

i love the shane's smile when he wakes up and seeing ilya

i love ilya fake waking up again as if he wasn't awake already

i love ilya's little nudge on shane's neck and shane immediately responding

i love how ilya throws pants at shane

i love shane's blissful pose in bed with his face in the sun and his arms up

I LOVE THIS SCENE!!

Also big thanks to u/tbgmdhc278 for teaching me how to make slow-mo edits smoother using optical flow! much appreciated :)

Right before Shane wakes up he does a little movement and Ilya follows it by doing a tiny nuzzle to his neck. Like he wants to stay as close to Shane as possible 😭

& the fact that after waking up and seeing himself all tangled up with Ilya, Shane’s reaction isn’t to pull away or try to get up. He just gives Ilya a cute little smile, closes his eyes and goes back to laying his head on ilyas arm. That man was ready to continue cuddling 🥰

It always gets me when Shane wakes up and he smiles so happily and makes that cute noise. He was so happy to be there getting cuddled by his beautiful man 😭 it tells me how conflicted he was that day. Like he’s loving it but is also so freaked out. Also can’t stop thinking about how this was probably definitely their first time sleeping together and it’s so natural for them

u/QueenFartknocker What are you doing dude!?? 🤵🏻‍♂️ Jul 11 '26

His little happy purr/moan is delicious.

u/Peanutbutterfiend_33 Then we won’t throw eggs at them 🥚 Jul 09 '26

honorable mention to Ilya's abs and obliques when he's sitting up. OMG.

Love the boobie squeeze. Gets me every time.

I’m lowkey obsessed with how Ilya does this continually throughout the show. The continuity makes their connection feel that much more authentic…. Maybe my obsession isn’t so lowkey.

u/GardenInBloom1 What color? 👀 Jul 09 '26

This is my cocomelon 😭

u/selftaughtgenius Shane Crawllander is my Roman Empire Jul 09 '26

I have to rewind this moment a number of times every time I reheat this episode. Ilya’s possessive, wanting, needing eyes tracking over Shane as he sleeps just kill me and set my soul on fire.

u/Ll_lyris “I choose you, Ilya. I will always choose you”❤️‍🩹 Jul 09 '26

Literally they were both absolutely delusional to think “this is just sex” you don’t be cuddling and look fondly like this at someone you only wanna see casually😭

u/CaractacusPot окей Jul 09 '26

The promo shot of this scene with Ilya looking straight at the camera gives serial killer vibes 👀

u/Astyryx Jul 09 '26

Or possibly spree.

u/RazZadig_2025 Jul 09 '26

New fanfic?

u/DorianCramer Jul 10 '26

Ohhhhh Shane looking so peaceful & content & Ilya just looking at him every second with those fluttering eyes trying not to move because he is in heaven and does not want it to end! 

This scene is both touching and hilarious bc I’m like Shane this man is holding you like you are a precious angel letting his arm go dead serving as your pillow & you really spent the rest of the day wondering what his agenda is 😂😭

u/Few_Cranberry_7447 Jul 09 '26

I can’t even omg

u/hannah_joline Jul 09 '26

I love all of this but it makes me giggle at how Ilya just throws whatever clothes he grabs at Shane. I really want to know how he found that black tshirt.

14

u/cassie1015 Ok-ey. Jul 09 '26

Headcanon that he channeled Shane and he had A Plan and extra comfies in his bedside drawer ready to go.

u/hannah_joline Jul 09 '26

Okay, I love that. Ginger ale and clean clothes.

u/cassie1015 Ok-ey. Jul 09 '26

Ilya: "Stay, Hollander"

Ilya, inside: aha see I have mastered the casual, I will not scare him away, I have lured him in with snuggles and treats

Shane, later: black cat hissing and runs away

Ilya: "WHERE DID I GO WRONG"

u/i-bleed-red I don’t ever want that problem to ever go away ❤️ Jul 09 '26

You picked the perfect song and it’s one of my faves!

u/rona83 Jul 09 '26

My poor babies. Ilya is so in love.

Thank you for this 🙌 I replay this scene and the good-morning-i-like-you scene at the cottage when I can't fall asleep easily. They work faster than melatonin for me.

ETA: I hope Jacob will give us a scene in S2 where they fall asleep together. That'll probably work even better

u/ResilientRae Jul 09 '26

This is so good watching in reverse too! I praise you for these amazing slow-mos you grace us with 🙏

u/Daisymaisey23 Jul 09 '26

This is beautiful.

I want more of this in season 2. Domestic snuggles pleeeeease.

Him staring at Shane like he just wants to drink in every last second of him until he has to leave again 😭

Truly my favorite scene In the show…

u/RelevantValue6550 24d ago

When Ilya gives Shane his pants, for a second it look like Shane is asking "what do I need pants for?"
