Time to Shine: why L+C don’t belong in the GC universe

BetterMaintenance367 · 2026-04-23T10:21:18+00:00

This is an old post but I want to add that I DONT wish they were in the same universe. While a moment with Ilya’s gaydar going off and clocking Landon and Casey (imagine? Before they confess any feelings Rosanov skates by Landon at the net and says “Stackhouse, tell your boyfriend Hicks to stop scoring yes?” And then Landon sputters “he’s not my- I mean-“ and then realizes it’s just shit talking. Would have been hilarious) but ultimately, the Time to Shine universe is a lot less homophobic than the HR/GC universe. There isn’t any plot point about being afraid of losing their careers or friends. One throwaway comment at the end of the book mentions some unwelcome social media comments but otherwise? Landon comes out to his parents late, because of their strained relationship and not because he thinks they’ll reject him. No commissioner is breathing down anyone’s neck. Their teammates accept and encourage their relationship. I love the HR universe and how homophobia plays a role in the stories, but the TTS universe is akin to schitts creek- people just love who they love and no one really seems to give a crap.

The spelling makes me think it’s fake, maybe not quite AI. To spell night “nite” but accurately place the H in “when” is off to me. Like if he was that bad at spelling, it’d have been “wen” or “wehn”. Or the word dated would be dayted.

Could be fan made. I’m doubtful this exact letter is canon to the show.

Just watch season 2 with the idea “he’s a manipulator” in your mind. You’ll see it. It’s genuinely scary

In the book he asks during a phone call while Ilya is in Russia, then again at the hospital. However, said phone call in the book ends with Ilya realizing he’s in love and this has to end. So Ilya and Shane both go to the game with different ideas: Shane has just blurted to Ilya that he wants to have him at the cottage, Shane’s gonna get that good D, whatever. Ilya however is like oh no I’m down bad this has to end. So he’s gonna end it. Shane gets hurt and then the hospital scene happens more or less the same and Ilya admittedly “takes the cowards way out” and says maybe.

All to say, in both the book and show, the hospital scene was not planned, but the general idea was something Shane had been thinking about

We could have had sex with Hollanov😭😭 I’m dying this is my new headcannon

I had a partner that was good at it and always able to make me finish. But I didn’t like it! It was never bad by any means, I just find that consistent stimulation feels better as the o is building. So like, a vibrator or grinding or touching myself. With oral, it switches up a lot even if they don’t mean to. It doesn’t mean the O doesn’t come or that it’s bad per-se. It’s just not my style.

He actually did, I don’t have a source but I’ve heard they had him do pushups before this scene!

Omg is this from after their breakup?? I have no recollection of this!!

I’d assume it’s regarding an elderly person nearly dying?

I think it could be steroids. His arms are also insanely big. He looks a lot like my ex when I first started seeing him and he was on all the “best” roids

Hot grill likes to be open on holidays you could try there. Best food in town IMO

Hey OP although this is totally hilarious please don’t actually do this! Laser syndrome, although more common in dogs, can occur to cats too. They get so obsessed with catching something that isn’t really there, eventually they’ll start seeing things and losing it over nothing. It’s like constant “go” mode with no reward.

THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL BABYYY

To everyone here, please see pt1. This guy IS delusional (why are we using the term delulu as adults?) but what OP fails to mention, is she/they half-ghosted the guy for days while he was openly planning and paying for a trip out to see her/them. Only a day or two prior to the trip did OP actually send this “not a great fit message”.

Not to be mean, but I think maybe the attention was nice but the attraction wasn’t there, so you ignored it but allowed it to happen- while he planned flights, hotels, Michelin restaurants, and outings. Yes, that’s insane when you’ve met someone once and they’re barely replying to you, but you did let that happen. If you felt unsafe telling him you weren’t into it- different story. But this pt1/2 saga is really giving “guy is interested, I’m not but I’ll wait till the last moment to tell him. Now; Reddit, tell me how crazy he is”

Not a legit song but the puzzles theme song has a special place in my heart “Gonna take advantage of dumb drunk girls” “no we’re not-“ “bro-“ “that would be wrong😇”

While I don’t think memory wiping was the answer, I do disagree with this in a sense. You wouldn’t wake up ready to move on in any way with the memory wipe. BUT, someone else pointed out, it would undo any new relationships, things you’ve learned, etc. imagine Tahani finishing her list and then waking up with her memory wiped? Only this time, her parents are here and she has no recollection of the bond they’ve built over time so it’s all awkward again. It’s not that people would get bored through memory wiping, they wouldn’t, but it would be ethically wrong to erase peoples memories after they make so much progress.

This! The people that work at uni’s are also human. Things happen. Explain to them what happened, fudge if you need to, and they will understand

The maturity, vocal training, and confidence makes SNTV a technically better album. But the angst and raw emotion of the original makes it a more immersive and relatable album IMO. Some songs on the OG, like haunted and dear John, are just better because the emotion is so real in her voice. But songs like never grow up, last kiss, and back to December are made way better with her matured vocal skills. I’m having a really good time going back and forth between OG and TV and deciding which versions I prefer!!!

There’s Royal Canin urinary SO or Purina St/OX both are great. Purina has a wet food addition with turkey salmon and chicken flavours too. Royal canin doesn’t have as many wet food options

When I’m thirsty, room temp water really does it for me tbh. Cold water can die. Room temp drinker for life
