And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well that changes everything. I just didn't get that Illyria thinks Gunn is good-looking vibe. I'll have to rewatch.

Don't let it trouble your 'shippy little heart Wolfram, she said it the way she'd say a flower was pretty. Now given she has Fred's memories, she does know just how pretty Gunn is--the kind of pretty FFANG just knows is/was under all those layers, somewhere, but...

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Besides the actual words, it wasn't anything in how Illyria said it that really gave me the vibe, I think. It was more Gunn's amused silent beat before he said anything. Tiny, but there. To me, a cute, not really significant touch.
Edited to say that I'm thinking of Illy in more of an Anya way in this scene. In the same way that Anya would say something along the lines of "I like your penis." to Xander. Such a nice, uncensored voice.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I understand this, but... you got an Illyria thinks Gunn is good company vibe instead?

Thanks Cindy. Speaking of I/W shippiness, did anyone else notice that Illyria was still crying after Wes was already dead. The acting became the reality. At least in my finale. YFMV.

Yeah. Like she was saying to Gunn, "you're a pleasant person to be around." He could have looked like Clem, and in my finale she would have said the same line.

Um.

Yes, it was the expression on her face that broke me. The smile for Wes' sake, but the tears for her loss.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes. It was touching seeing her reveal her true feelings that way...

I think the real impact of that line is seeing that Illyria is capable of considering Gunn (or any human other than Wesley) as an individual. That she's thinking of herself as an ex-god, instead of a temporarily inconvenienced god.

I think Illyria loved Wesley more than Fred did.
