If you post under an username you're anon too, no one knows, but at least if you don't update I can tell my favorite author bottomsadeyes785 hasn't come back from the war
I consider myself a real hater but sometimes you really do go too far with haterism. once I had to break mutuals with someone bc they hated the entire art form of poetry and the final straw was when they started hateposting about soup. The food
My only ever take on the subject of the HR cast is that I wish Rob James-Collier was a Canadian man in his early twenties because he would have KILLED IT as Troy Barret
He sure has experience playing a gay man with the initials T.B. who starts as a fucking asshole but hides how much he feels and loves and cares and even when he's nice he's still a fucking bitch
Today, and I mean JUST today, I've seen multiple comments saying, as if it's a tidbit of known information everyone agrees with and is barely worth mentioning, that Ilya treats Shane like shit the whole of Heated Rivalry because he's playing with his feelings
And I am
Idk man
Idk how to feel about this have we read the same book did you think Shane 'you don't even get to see my fucking apartment of course not so here fuck me in this condo under construction that I bought to get fucked in' Hollander was mad he wasn't being texted about his day and taken on dates?
I fear the "we didn't even kiss" adaptation has only made this worse
it’s fine to be critical about the books and it’s fine to be critical about the show and it’s fine to be a hater but honestly. the way some people on here are so critical of the books AND the show AND the fanon AND rachel reid AND the cast and crew AND every other thing they can possibly find makes me suspect that. perhaps. they’d be happier not thinking about or engaging with heated rivalry at all
like. it could not be clearer that if you are engaging with the Shane And Ilya Love Each Other story in which the thesis statement is always gonna be ‘shane and ilya choose each other again and again and again’, while thinking that shane and ilya’s relationship is unhealthy and bad and they shouldn’t be together, you’re setting yourself up for misery and would be infinitely happier doing literally anything else
HR posting suspended you see favorite author from a fuckton of fandoms I was in just posted for my old otp I need to leave this place and be a dweeb for a while
Imma do another blog fuck fuck I missed this why didn't I realize I missed these fuckers
no official casting on Ilya's therapist cause i know they're trying to make scheduling work with miss katya zamolodchikova, the only right choice for that role
i feel like "feminist" anti-kink sentiment is very tail-wagging-the-dog. like male doms playing out bdsm scenes of abuse are not oppressing their female subs that's acting. you're mad at acting. you're those aliens from galaxy quest. same with fearmongering about "booktok". however an eroticized version of patriarchal dynamics being a popular kink DOES speak to the pervasiveness of sexism, bc eroticizing the oppression is a way of coping with living under it. it's women creating a fantasy world where men being menacing to them is sexy and not scary like it is irl, or where it is still scary but in the fun way like a horror movie bc you can tap out at any time by using a safe word or putting the book down. acting like this sort of kink is oppressing women is like if you assumed the thermometer controlled the weather outside. it might be depressing to look at the thermometer and see the impact of climate change, but it's not the thermometer's fault
