CONNOR STORRIE and HUDSON WILLIAMS in Heated Rivalry (2025-) 1.01 "Rookies"

[pig-e-on]

i’m just going to talk about these 30-ish seconds when Ilya sees Miles at the bar because it (the cinematography/editing) is Doing Something To My Brain

this is just one of those scenes that scratches and itch and here’s why. i want you to watch this again, and i want you to notice:

the music is diegetic: it’s what’s playing in the club and the characters can hear it

Miles spots Ilya and glances him up and down almost in disbelief (it is the Most Subtle glance both in the wide and close shot on Miles)

Miles’s salute is IN TIME WITH THE MUSIC

his smile increases AS the music swells. and his arm hits the bar on beat

the slow transition of undampening the music in the build-up is done pERFECTLY. the song is still playing in the club; it’s still technically diegetic. but now, we’re listening to it — Ilya isn’t.

Ilya was rocking a bit and that stops as soon as he sees Miles. Ilya moves his head a tiny fraction just as the beat drops, as he realises that that must mean rose and shane are also here

Ilya’s face doesn’t change as the beat drops, telling the viewer that something has changed internally

he begins to turn his head but then the frame changes to the back of his head as he slowly turns around — and the camera goes in the OPPOSITE direction

his eyes SLOWLY scan the room, contrasting the fast pace and high tempo of the song/club context.

he overshoots, then looks almost perfectly forward (probably some incidental symbolism about shane being right in front of him the whole time)

IN TIME WITH THE MUSIC, we switch to a slow zoom seeing shane and rose from across the room

rose is a bit obscured, but shane isn't. THAT'S who ilya's really looking at

as the camera slowly pulls away, Ilya takes this big deep inhale that is ALSO IN TIME WITH THE MUSIC (2 beats in 2 beats out, TURN ON THE BEAT)

🩷 My main blog is @skyhon 🩷

Hiii!! I made this blog specifically for fic progress reports, showing some of my writing process, and fic chapter updates, as well as gif and pic reblogs from the show 🩷 Don’t be afraid to come over and say hi!

Hello from Moscow, Goodbye from Montreal

Starting from the summer of 2012 and branching off from the show’s canon immediately, this fic follows the aftermath of Ilya drunkenly calling Shane in the middle of the night and how it changes the projection of their friendship and romance in ways they’d never quite dreamed of. They text, call, fuck, talk in-person and get to know each other on a deeper level than they’d ever known anyone before.

Hello from Moscow, Goodbye from Montreal is a character study fic that is heavy on the banter, with texting and calling each other as the main focus. Watch these two assholes flirt and fall in love by being rude and horny both in long distance (across the world) and short distance (LITERALLY in eachother’s laps) 🩷

Svetlana and Hayden are sick of them. They’re so gross.

Rating is EXPLICIT for graphic depictions of sex, language and slurs.

This is one of my favorite Shane internal voice moments from the books. Like yes Shane, obviously Ilya, the man you have been sleeping with for six years and who you rode into the matress half an hour ago, has purchased your favorite beverage just to poison you. It's the only possible reason!
