Got emotionally destroyed by this book after binge reading it and I just realized that one reason I may be reacting so strongly is GOD. It’s fucking violin boy all over again but imagine if Justin not only emotionally cheated, chose him, stayed with him forever rubbed it in Brian’s face every chance he got while acting like their relationship was nothin BUT they’d also been together 12 freaking years before the disrespect and playing in his face happened. And also they’d been closeted the whole time because he’s a prick who made his boyfriend be on the dl from the second they met

sex in heated rivalry

[radioactive-earthshine]

Again, people born within the last 20 years, VHS tapes did NOT HAVE MENU SCREENS. You had to rewind them. You could NOT record on just any tape, those were special films you purchased. An official movie purchased in a store was not rewritable and you could not record over it.

People recording television on tapes was very common and could be programmed through a VHS to start recording at a special time so a person wouldn't miss something and could watch it later.

[flashbrainrot]

Also, it was fairly common for TVs in the 2000s to have a VHS slot. DVD and VHS coexisted. People didn't immediately drop VHS the moment DVD appeared. In fact, the advertisements for home movies would usually tell you that you could get it in both formats.

My childhood TV had a VHS slot and a DVD player connected to it, and at least in my country the weekend newspapers would include a cheap DVD movie for kids (usually terrible German animation of some fairytale), to get parents to buy newspapers.

Also, if your character is in the early 2000s and has a Nintendo DS, said character may have had an R4 card.

[radioactive-earthshine]

This is very true. The 2000s often had VHS and DVDs side by side. It took a long time to phase out VHS in retail.

Told my mother today, very explicitly, that when she sees heated rivalry season one dvd on my Christmas list to order it for me post haste and that I DO NOT CARE AT ALL that the DVDs themselves won’t arrive until April 2027, please god do not hesitate to give me an empty box with a piece of paper inside saying my present is coming. I know she won’t order my brother his weird criterion movies if they haven’t been released yet and I get it you want the gift receiver to have an actual item— but under no circumstances should she apply that logic to me or my hockey boys

what's important to remember about the 'we didn't even kiss' unsent text is that shane is not mad at ILYA about the sex they had. he leapt readily into the sex, slutty arch that ensared millions on display etc.

no, shane's in the elevator, biting his lips red, wishing it was ilya's spit he was tasting and he is mad at HIMSELF for wanting to be kissed, for wanting MORE and recognizes (by ilya setting the tone of the sex as competitive -- not personal, by his own estimation of their relationship) that what sex they SHOULD/MUST be having according to the twin torture nexus is not sex where they kiss each other like they need each other's mouth to breathe. 'we didn't even kiss' is 'i, shane hollander, once again want something i cannot have, because that is what i do, lug around a want so ugly and so loud and so mighty that i fear people can read it at a glance across 200 ft of cold, powdery ice.'

1st base: raw ethically dubious fucking

2nd base: exist in a public space together

3rd base: you witness me have a real, candid emotion

4th base: I reveal an aspect of my tragic backstory to you

Listen I have a lot of thoughts about Izzy. And I lost it many times during her book. But the way Jeremy tried to run out of that hospital room only to stop and murmur what I’m sure was “it’s okay, she’s right there. It’s okay.” to Mason??? I fucking screamed

[bookdork1]

Hmmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmm. I feel crazy. That book man. Just. A lot of things. I just want to be back in Shiloh with my fucked up boys. This was intense and just not what I normally would ever read if it hadn’t been connected. It was. A really good book. And I kind of hate it but also not. Idk. Anyways. Will be reading the sequels.

[bookdork1]

Well. Jesus fucking christ. Got to say, not had a book universe hold me in a literal chokehold like this in a loooong ass time. GAHHHHHHHH I WANT TO READ THE NEXT BOOKS 😭😭😭

[lucylehane]

papa, хорошо успокойся

[bookdork1]

a few of your own Noah kahan is sooooo Jeremy/Mason coded I’m obsessed with it “teach me how to not stare at you” fucking go off then I know mason’s late to the party but that was always the love of his life 😭😭😭
