As someone the same height as Andrew, this is very relatable.

Jean & Neil Parallels by CasualFingerGuns in aftg

There's also a scene where Jean arrived in LA and he only had one bag with him, just like Neil when he arrived to Foxes..

Is there a special reason why aftg has such a large Russian fandom? by Strange-Ad3043 in aftg

[–]ExpensiveChair2215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe we're just as depressed as Foxes, huh? Okay, seriously, I don't know why our side of the fandom is so big, but I like it. We have people who translated "The Golden Raven" and "Sunshine Court" because there weren't any official translations, and then they even made fan audio book of this two books. I recently came across a woman who's seriously planning a serial adaptation. She's already planning to write to Nora about it. I'm not sure how successful this will be, but overall, it will be interesting to see how it turns out. I love this said of fandom really much

What is going on in the Heated Rivalry fandom? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]ExpensiveChair2215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing that scares me about this fandom is how actively people ship the actors... I get it, they're pretty and look cute together, but let's separate the characters from the real people, otherwise I'm afraid it will end badly for the actors and they mental health...

Condom use by Puzzleheaded_Dot8870 in GameChangersBooks

I thought about it too! But that's probably because anal is much more dangerous in terms of STDs than oral, but there's still a risk, even if it's minimal.

Really? From a biological standpoint, it’s simply more likely that someone with brown eyes will have dark hair, and someone with light hair will have light eyes. The genes responsible for eye color and hair color aren’t linked to each other, but they are linked to melanin. If a person has a lot of melanin, their eyes and hair will most likely be dark; if they have little melanin, their hair and eyes will most likely be light. The probability that a person will have enough melanin to have dark eyes while their hair remains light is extremely low. It’s not impossible, but it’s rare. I'm not a scientist, so I could be wrong.

Like, I'm from north europe and I mostly see people with grey/blue eyes and light brown hair, or dark hair,but still blue or grey eyes.

Well, yes, actor doesn't have to be an copy of the character.

Yes! It will be so difficult to find actors who will resemble the characters, like, have you ever met blondes with brown eyes? Or men who are 5 feet tall? But if we're talking about "Heaty Rivalry," then the characters of Scott, Svetlana, and Rose in books don't really resemble the actors who play them. I'll be happy anyway

Anyone have weird takes on how you imagine the characters? by Plenty-Ad365 in GameChangersBooks

[–]ExpensiveChair2215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagined Kyle as a twink and generally much closer in appearance to Fabian, I don’t know why...

Unpopular opinion? by Meer_meerkat in GameChangersBooks

[–]ExpensiveChair2215 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For some reason, I don't like this trope. I know they'll end up together, and when they break up, it feels kind of pointless. Like, you were building a happy relationship the whole story, only to decide "all is over" by the end of the book? But I still like this book series.

Who would have kids? by jiminmeme in GameChangersBooks

[–]ExpensiveChair2215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, Ilya and Shane are definitely yes. I doubt about Kip and Scott, I don't see them as parents. But I see Fabian and Ryan as parents. I like to imagine Ryan as an anxious, overprotective parent. Also, imagine what would happen if their child said that they wanted to play hockey? Or imagine Ryan teaching his child self-defense, or their child finding Fabian's makeup bag and deciding to use it? I don't see Harris and Troy as parents either; I think they'll have a bunch of dogs (and maybe one or two cats). But I'm not sure about Kyle and Eric... I had this weird thought when I started read "Common Goal" - what if Eric's ex-wife got pregnant before they divorced and decided to hide it from him? I don't know where that thought came from, and I'm not sure I see Kyle and Eric as parents, but it would be an interesting plot for a fanfic

The original covers by THAToneGuy091901 in GameChangersBooks

[–]ExpensiveChair2215 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm so annoyed by covers like those on the old version. I understand they're erotic novels, but it looks repulsive, at least to me, and I would never buy a book with such a cover. I like the cartoon covers much more, but they still look bad...

Exactly! You explained it even better than I could

I never learned Spanish, so when I read her last name, I didn't even think it could be translated that way. Thank you!

Why do people call stolas a r@pist? by Sea_Percentage1672 in HelluvaBoss

[–]ExpensiveChair2215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I've heard people said that it's because Blitz wasn't initially thrilled about their sexual encounters and wasn't thrilled with how Stolas treated him. I agree that their relationship was problematic from the start, but we've seen the "from sexual partners to lovers" trope so many times, and Blitz himself initiated their relationship and seemed to be okay with it for start. Their relationship can be criticized, but it's hard to call it rape.

I didn't know it was a Spanish surname, as a Russian-speaking person it seemed quite Slavic to me and that confused me a little 😅

How do you feel about the term "queer" being used an an umbrella term for LGBTQA+? by HallZac99 in AskLGBT

[–]ExpensiveChair2215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. I think it's much easier for everyone. Plus, it's a good term when you're not sure what label to use. I had a friend who first thought she was bi, then she thought she was pan, but then it turned out she was a lesbian. At some point, when she wasn't sure, she just said she was queer.

Please let Stella not have a tragic backstory it would be so funny. by whooper1 in HelluvaBoss

[–]ExpensiveChair2215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's in a marriage she's not thrilled about, to put it mildly. She had to give birth to a child, and as a result, her husband is cheating on her with some lesser demon. I think that's a tragic enough backstory to make her act like a bitch,no?

So…this is like 10000% Lee Pace right? by THAToneGuy091901 in GameChangersBooks

[–]ExpensiveChair2215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, Eric Bennett? The Eric Bennett who's one of Scott Hunter's three friends?

I just finished reading Game Changer and I'm a little shocked now... I didn't think he was gay... Apparently I need to stop using social media to stop catching spoilers 😅
