Across the Pond

Bess - she/her, ultimate multifandom trash. Master of museums, watcher of all things nerdy, and avid fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Always up for massive fangirl flailing about B99, AWAE, Slow Horses, Sense8, AoS, Teen Wolf, Heated Rivalry & aaaaall the period dramas (Austen, Gaskell, Dickens, Bridgerton...) ^_^

hudson is a better person than me bc if I had a past of mma fighting and someone was harassing and following me I would have put those trained fists to use.

that pap was lucky he only raised his voice and lit that photo on fire

[gingerbreadoatmilkchai]

the way that some of u interpret everything hudson or connor do to be a sign that they’re fucking is indicative to me that some of yall have never had really good friends before

[barbia1]

People making fun of this situation with Hudson is honestly sad. He’s not being taken seriously at all. He told y’all he struggles with social anxiety, yet people are allegedly sending him death threats, doxxing him, and constantly bullying him, his team, his mom, and his girlfriend. At a certain point, it becomes too much for one person to bear.

The Heated Rivalry fandom is whack. How are you watching and supporting a show where one of the main characters is a POC, yet being racist toward the actor who plays him? Hudson does not deserve any of this. He has done nothing wrong. In fact, he was one of the only cast members consistently interacting with fans, and look what y’all did you ran him off the internet.

You don’t deserve him at all. I genuinely can’t wait for this show to be over so Hudson can move on, protect his peace, and get away from this racist-ass fandom.

watching Northanger Abbey (1987) for the first time

[bethanydelleman]

The best way to watch it is to be as intoxicated as the creators obviously were...

[amarguerite]

Anyhow.

this means more to me than it should

[shaneswetbrowneyes]

i actually think that what's being missed in the 'why does everyone love heated rivalry' conversation is just that it's good

it's well made, well shot, well directed, the music is interesting, the costumes are both thoughtful and subtly period accurate, the sex scenes are intentional and, again, accurate to what hooking up when you're like 18 actually feels like...the actors are of course attractive but they look like real people. the characters are varied and well fleshed out, the acting is really, really strong

so many shows and films shoot and then slot in whatever music kind of fits or could be licenced in the budget after time, but you can tell that the scenes in hr were shot with that specific music in mind. and the same intentional approach runs through the whole thing

it feels...so nice to watch a show that cares about itself

Nobody knew in advance that this show would become a massive international phenomenon. It was a mid-budget Canadian show (which means low budget by US standards) adapted from a Harlequin romance novel. The deal with HBO for US distribution rights was only signed a few weeks before it began to air.

But everybody involved treated it as if it was serious art anyway. Not just some little Canadian streaming show that might well disappear after airing. Based on a book from a genre that is usually ridiculed by people who consider themselves serious film people. The cast, the crew, the writer/director, the music supervisor, everybody. They all did their best work for love of the game.

Just look at that teenage boy, having a crush on beautiful freckles and getting told off by his trainer. Ilya, my sweetheart.

We were supposed to stand alone at the top, but we will always be there together. We will keep climbing until no one else can reach us, but it will always be together.
