HEATED RIVALRY WEEK 2026 (@heatedrivalryweek) Day 5 Favorite Character:

ILYA ROZANOV: bisexual depressed russian terminator comedian with insane queerdar who’ll fight a stupid canadian wolf bird barehanded but is actually a scaredy-cat who loves pasta and getting on the nerves of the love of his life aka shane hollander.

Boring, you know, when Ilya calls Shane boring, he's saying he's in love with him. And he's not boring, Ilya is endlessly fascinated by Shane. And the only way he can communicate that is by making fun of him and calling him boring because anything else would rip his soul out through his face. - Jacob Tierney
