So I am very intrigued by this. Obviiii… the story of the philosopher Aristotle and his young pupil Alexander the Great adapted by Jacob Tierney for Netflix. So hear me out.

What do I need to do to get Lee Pace as Aristotle?? I have absolutely no better argument than Lee Pace deserves better from Hollywood. He’s gorgeous and amazing and actually age appropriate and looks very wise imo 🙂‍↕️

CONNOR STORRIE ︱ Vmag 56 Summer/Spring 2026

VMAN 56: Game Changers With Connor Storrie - V Magazine

Perhaps not since Robert Pattinson’s 'Twilight' era has a lead inspired such a global, devoted following overnight. But what’s next for Conn

[levok]

Happy birthday, Sunshine ☀️ You deserve all the happiness and flowers.

behindtheblinds: We all know that Connor Storrie is a man of many talents. But did you know that in his free time, he makes techno mixes and posts them on a SoundCloud account? "I don't have any intention of turning it into a career - it's like doodling or colouring," he tells us in BTB20. "But the places where it gets listened to the most are interesting: Poland, Russia, Tunisia, Japan; places with really intense subcultures for hard, industrial dance music."

I can't believe how good they look together! I am so obsessed with their styling.

It’s so good. They look amazing. I hope we see them again at Paris fashion week for YSL again in march 🤞

I need more coordinated ysl looks 🔥

Love to see it. This is perfect!

Connor joining a womencentric movie written and directed by Molly Gordon and Allie Levitan under A24? Sign me up. I am seated!

This man has amazing comedy timing and I cannot wait to see him in something completely different. Let the clown out and surprise everyone.

Why don't you want Luca G to make tsoa?

I love the book very much , but not every great book will necessarily make a good movie/series. I’m not sure it can be done justice by anyone, especially because big parts of what makes it such a great book is the language it’s written in.

And when it comes to Guadagnino his style is just not compatible with tsoa imo. He makes character driven, minimalistic artsy film, not grand Hollywood battle cgi type movies. Tsoa would need to be a lotr/troy type production and that’s just not his style. And it should stay like that.

I don’t know where the rumors of him being interested in tsoa comes from?

I really hope he’ll work with Connor though. They should do Giovanni’s Room.

[levok]

I would love to see Connor as Achilles in an adaptation of The Illiad! In a similar way to Nolan’s The Odyssey, an interpretation of the original story rather than the TSOA book

I can get behind that to some extend. I just don’t want to see another Troy.

I find it hard to make an Achilles movie without it being a big cgi hollywood production. I would rather see him in something more character driven… but you can ofc always make a twist on the story.

[levok]

think piece about Connor as Achilles (it's a no)

I know a lot of people are frothing at their mouth with the idea of Connor Storrie playing Achilles in a movie adaptation of Song of Achilles.

I see the vision and I understand the desire to see him in this role. No one can deny he would be perfect - Though I very much disagree with the idea that it should be made by Luca Guadagnino, but that's a whole different story.

Connor is like taken straight out of greek mythology. This man could make Michelangelo rise from the grave. He's perfection.

But.

I kinda don't want an adaptation of TSOA. And I kinda don't want Connor in another toxic fandom situation tbh (because it would become that. The book has a big and dedicated fandom).

Let's think out of the box for a moment and make something original. The thing is, I would love for him to play Narcissus. This would make such a good movie. A breathtaking beautiful young man who scorns all of his admires, falls in love with his own reflection, pining away until he dies.

I would love love some greek tragedy and I know Connor would be capable of carrying such story.

May be an unpopular opinion. But I have my reasons, and they are usually right.

Another (correct) take.

So it's lowkey kinda confirmed that a book 3 is coming this year, which is great news for a season 3 because I would hate for them to drag out book 2. Let's keep up the pace please...

But also I was kinda not so sure about a book 3, because the plot could really go to shit if we had to face yet another "I didn't really have anything in mind but lets keep this ship sailing" kinda lame plot.

But this synopsis actually sounds quite promising. My biggest fear would be for the plot to be them starting a family 💀 Let's stay on track and dive into the homophobia and toxic masculinity in hockey. The league, the fans, the players, sponserships, etc...

So far we haven't really seen much of it and all their fears of coming out has mostly been ghosts in their head. Let's take off the gloves and face the actual issues going on.

Also it would be interesting to have Ilya facing issues with Russia after he has come out as well, especially if we add some Olympics 2018 into the bit with him not being drafted for the national team but going to support Shane and some drama with that. idk.

Just keep the drama up and keep the struggles related to them being gay and not to them trying to find a surrogate lol (please!!!)

[levok]

You are so right about who to include in season 2. Troy and Harris are important bc their story happens at the same time as Shane and ilyas and they are so intertwined. Also makes it "easier" to spread it if they want to do season 3.

Fabian in terms of Shane and Ilya is only "needed" to have Shane face some more of his internalized homophobia and while that's not unimportant it's not a super integral part that can't be included in some other capacity that makes it easier to work with the episode and money constraints

Happy I’m not alone in this, because I know a lot of people would love to see Fabian and Ryan featured…. But we gotta stay on track!

I think the moment of Shane being confronted with his own prejudice and phobia would be nice to add to the show, but is also easily incorporated without Fabian.

From season 1 we are now accustomed to them giving us the book basically 1:1, but it is very normal and also often necessary to delete or morph characters from book to screen adaptations since they are two different medias and doesn’t work the same way. Them changing book Svetlana was also very affective and necessary when we cannot read ilyas mind in the series as we can in the book.

The silent characters needed their “Noora” to put their feelings into words.

Heated Rivalry season 2

contains spoilers from the books!

So I have some thoughts about season 2... And they might be a highly unpopular opinion, but don't worry. It's not going to happen, because I highly doubt they will ever make changes this big... But that doesn't stop me from making a think piece.

I think they should write Ryan and Fabian completely out of the season! They don't serve any purpose in Ilya and Shane's story/relationship/development, and they are pretty much just an easter egg in the book.

But an easteregg doesn't make any sense when the viewers don't know them, and I honestly think they will just be slightly confusing to the non-book readers when there's suddenly another open gay hockey player in the mix without any background story. They are easily removed without any consequences.

Instead I think they should just replace them with Scott and Kip. Our dear writers would love to make them a part of season 2, despite them not really being part of the book, and this is their golden opportunity.

Make Scott be a coach on the hockey camp instead of Ryan. Considering they care about making a diverse coaching team, it makes very much sense for him to be there. Make him be the one walking in on them instead of Ryan, and if they want a double date situation, let's get Skip and Hollanov to that restaurant.

I actually think that could be a fun little moment, and more impactful to the viewer if using a couple we know. And if they want Shane to be flabbergasted over gays being flamboyant, then make their waiter a very open flamboyant gay man and gag him for a moment. That's more than enough.

I need Scott and Kip's part of season 2 to be relevant to the main plot and not just a random side plot where people just wait for them to be done so we can return to Ilya and Shane.

The only new secondary book couple that should be introduced in season 2, is Harris and Troy.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Let's keep the traditional values alive for S2 🙏

[levok]

I have so many thoughts, but these moments in episode 6 setting the scene for what's to come in season 2?? is absolutely killing me and I know Ilya will be the end of me.

I am not ready I need it right now.
