this ravenous consumption without community is also why authors are leaving the fanbase lol you can only write so fast and create so much, and when people don’t care about you or your work outside of the speed they can consume it, it ends up draining your passion to write
"my dinner with jj" where ilya and jj go clubbing and come home drunk as fuck and shane is feeding them ritz crackers on the kitchen floor while jj and ilya talk to each other in french and russian respectively and act like they know EXACTLY what the other is saying.
the advice to "write for yourself" is getting bastardized and/or misinterpreted to mean "do not ever express disappointment if a piece you worked hard on does not find its audience," but what it actually means is "only dedicate time & effort to ideas that excite you"
@sillywilya “This is not hall of fame behavior” is killing me 😂😂😂
Firm believer that Ilya often plays music/sings in the house and Shane has echolalia and will just say a line over and over again
Ilya also loves terrible memes
