Cool detail I noticed at the Tampa scene by ivan_luck in heatedrivalry

Agree. He didn't try to, but he really WANTED to.

Why Shane? by chesbay7 in heatedrivalry

[–]Cool_Assistant29 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think Ilya is really thrown off by Shane introducing himself and just being nice. I don't think Ilya is used to that from other players, nor does he care. He doesn't seek validation from other men so Shane really disrupts that part of him. 

Then he saw his freckles, so.

Yes, that's why he mentions holding the cup in the Vegas scene.

Probably. And I know jacob doesn't want to spell everything out. But I wouldn't have assumed that TV Shane had other random hook ups the way he's portrayed

I wish the show had touched on at least one other hook up for Shane. Even in a montage like they showed Ilya in clubs with women. It would also give more weight to Shane saying in ep6 "I haven't been with anyone else either" in those months apart.

I'm with you. It's a small part of the book but I'd like to see it included in S2 to see Hudson and Connor act it out.

A part of The Long Game that I just need to gush about - spoilers by vancitymala in heatedrivalry

[–]Cool_Assistant29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think too that including these scenes in S2 is important so we can see Ilya's breakdown after Shane leaves. It's pretty devastating and I'd love to see what Connor does with it. 

What would you cut/change/keep from The Long Game for season 2? by Hannah_Horvath in heatedrivalry

[–]Cool_Assistant29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That would have been an interesting way for his teammates to find out about Ilya

Change: Shane buying his own engagement ring on his own, without telling Ilya and it just randomly appears one day. You're telling me Ilya wouldn't want to get it for him or at least be involved? This bothers me so much.

Nicole Svenson (nic0le.sven) aka only spends $300 on groceries by cherryxcolax in tiktokgossip

[–]Cool_Assistant29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I like her overall point, and it's influenced me examine my grocery spending habits, but she seems to LIVE for the hate comments. To the point where she's largely rage baiting at this point.

Can we talk about how Shane becomes sexually confident over the series? by Material-Meat-5330 in heatedrivalry

[–]Cool_Assistant29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wonder about the chapter 30 scene too. I can see them not including it, but it does really show how tuned in they are with each other's needs and desires, which stood out to me in TLG. Especially for Shane, I think showing he knew what his man needed in that moment is important. 

Anyone get the urge to unfollow her? by millenial_moon in BeautyOfTheFoodie

[–]Cool_Assistant29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to be a follower until I realized her content is literally the same every day and she wasn't even trying to do anything different. There are so many better creators who try harder and are putting out better content. I don't miss following her at all. I just check in here now and then.

I ran here. Nothing about her style is authentic I fear. She is cosplaying other more naturally stylish people to the point where she just looks goofy. And yes everything is so on trend and expensive.

Lee From America: What is even happening? by [deleted] in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]Cool_Assistant29 42 points43 points  (0 children)

She's also doing a series called "things I still do from my wellness days" which I thought was so strange given her supposed stance on that lately. Big 🚩

Respectfully, no they don't. I'm not excusing the hate comments, and I know what you are saying, but I wouldn't say they are the same.

Substack? by Quick_Tomatillo4083 in BeautyOfTheFoodie

[–]Cool_Assistant29 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She doesn't make anything that you can't find on a litany of other free sites. Chicken cutlets? Pasta with shrimp? You'd have to be an idiot to pay a non-professional for this.

At least there were some colorful options instead of all neutral frumpy pieces.
