Meet Connor, the Toreador🌹
Just some of Connie Baby and Weirdo Messiah🌈
I'm scared for Shane...IMHO, 15 cm would be enough 😅
This scene seems symbolic to me: Shane and Ilya have come such a long way together, but now that Shane's parents have found out about and accepted their relationship, the road they're driving on signifies that although they still have many trials ahead, they're young and have their whole lives ahead of them ☺️
And the second... This is the most heartwarming moment, when they realised 😭 Shane's parents are the best ❤️
Rewatching the series. I think Shane and Ilya first h%ked up right in the gym: the sounds they make when they pedal, the way they look at each other while sitting on the floor and drinking water... Pure s€x 🔥
When someone tells me it's unhealthy to be so obsessed with HR:
While Shane is getting another panic attack, Ilya is just: 👑
I recently discovered this girl, Psylosia. Ethereal vibe it's what I love 🩵
Why am I so in love with the "Heated Rivalry"?
At first, let me say: I understand that my words may not resonate with everyone - we live in difficult and sensitive times. Below is my personal point of view, without any attempt to argue or convince anyone 🫶
So, "Heated Rivalry"... This isn't just a story about "gay hockey players."
First of all, for me, this story is about almost perfect, mature relationship. There's no drama for drama's sake, no emotional roller coasters, no power struggles, no toxicity, and no manipulation. Ilya and Shane are two equals. For me, it's a safe way to observe intimacy without being drawn into it and without living out the usual "I'm inferior" or "I have to" scenario. There's a lot of peace in this relationship - and that is especially valuable ☺️
Secondly, I was deeply touched by how a character from Russia was portrayed in a foreign TV series. The attention to detail, the full dialogues in Russian that the actors learned specifically for their roles, and the very accurate portrayal of Ilya Rozanov by Connor Storrie. All this gives the impression that there is still room for common sense in the world - the ability to separate people from politics, culture from context, and language from what is happening around it.
My native language is Ukrainian, but since the age of 11, I've been writing, speaking, and even thinking in Russian, and I still stand by that. I think this is what largely determined my warm attitude towards the series.
Finally, the actors. Much has already been said here: undeniable chemistry, accurate portrayals of the characters, and a sense of real, genuine emotions 🩵
I will eagerly await the 2nd season. The story of Shane and Ilya turned out to be something very personal for me - perhaps one of the warmest experiences I've had in the last couple of months. And I'm sincerely grateful to everyone who worked on this project - to Rachel Reid and Jacob Tierney, to charming Connor Storrie and to insanely cute Hudson Williams 💕 These two are my Inspiration Stars 🌟

Meanwhile, Connor:
50 likes?! Thanks a lot, I love you 💖
i'm obsessed so bad i made some art with boys, i'd like them 2 be my friends 💕
In case of important negotiations 🤝
no thoughts just vibes 💕
Heated (но недостаточно!) Rivalry🔥
🚨Данный текст рассчитан на тех, кто читал книги, смотрел сериал, и кому реально понравилось.
Итак, девочки (впрочем, и мальчики тоже). Мы имеем 6 прекрасных серий воистину прекрасного сериала. Сколько всего я посмотрела в своей жизни - и г*вна, и годноты, - НО! только история Ильи и Шейна тронула меня настолько, что я прониклась любовью к ребятам и зарядилась вдохновением, с которым, надеюсь, войду в следующий год.
Да, "стекла" было много. У каждого это своя сцена. Лично мои: монолог Ильи на фоне мрачного снегопада, под грустные клавиши; а момент, когда в 6 серии он сквозь слезы и поцелуи, надрываясь, шепчет Шейну "Я тебя люблю" на своем родном... Ну, это 100% мурашка 😭
Но и позитивных эмоций хватает. Хадсонский "Шейн" - да.
Коннорский "Илья" - да.
Эти сцены, ради которых мы все были там, эта "химия" - определенно, трижды да!!!
Атмосфера каждой серии, операторская работа, саундтрек ("Я сошла с ума" на инглише, когда Илья под слоу-мо заходит в клубешник?! Я проорала от восторга на этом моменте!)
Русский Коннора здесь - мой персональный сорт героина. Попадание в персонажа - 10 из 10. Да, о "русскости" Коннора не говорил только ленивый. Ему, наверное, икается, бедному, в ЛА.
Лично мне отчаянно не хватало некоторых (😏) сцен из первоисточника (который я перечитываю уже в третий раз), и я надеялась, что 6-ая серия будет хотя бы час идти, но это ничего.
But(t)!! Как у каждого 6-серийного кина, у этого есть один большой, как ч**н Розанова, минус: 1 сезон закончился :(
Так что, girls, вытираем слезы-сопли, берем себя в руки и продолжаем жить эту жизнь, потому что впереди нас ждет только хорошее (если я не ошибаюсь, и серик продлили еще как минимум на один сезон)!
Желаю всем любви, как у Ильи и Шейна, Друзей, как Роуз и Светлана, Храбрости, как у Скотта Хантера, И понимающих близких, как мама и папа Шейна!
Счастья-здоровья, кароч.
