ilya is one of the most emotionally complex characters in the gcu. he is constantly belittled for his sex life, reduced to the russian terminator archetype, and considered to be an unfeeling asshole.
and he takes it all on the chin despite being the gcu's #1 loverboy 😞❤️
too many people write ilya as someone who doesn't care at all about what anyone thinks of him.
sure, he doesn't really care what the public thinks of him—what strangers think of him. he has thick skin and doesn't take things to heart most of the time. but the people he knows?
