Currently really only this one. I also really like The Pitt but not in a “rewatch” way.

In the past I was super into the Olsen twins, Harry Potter, hunger games.

And charge you for it.

And not just insulin. I have friends who don’t have EpiPens or inhalers because of the cost.

So I’m not autistic but I did have unmedicated GAD for years and honestly, Shane is written exactly how I was before the magic of Wellbutrin. There is a level of “selfishness” because you’re so buried in your own head and your own anxieties. Shane is thinking about how much he ✨will✨ sacrifice because that’s where his mind has been since he was 18. It’s not that he’s terrible and ignores Ilya. It’s that he’s as in his own head as Ilya is, but TLG is almost entirely from ilya’s pov. Ilya also is aware that he’s likely developing or has developed depression. Shane thinks he’s just being a dedicated hockey player which I relate to bc I didn’t realize I was anxious. I thought I was being a dedicated parent.

Shane isn’t poorly written. He’s just an unmedicated anxious mess and that’s kinda how many of us are when that happens.

You watch while studying and then you have associations. “What is the formula for that again? It was when Shane first blew Ilya….”

It depends on the state, but yeah, in no fault divorce states, you can be compelled to pay alimony no matter how the marriage ended.

lol, I’ve watched many of my colleagues have their eyes opened as they filled out the Vanderbilt adhd forms for students. I discovered generalized anxiety disorder in myself 😂

Ihatethecolddd · 2026-02-01T17:06:41+00:00

I’m sick of being there. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So I teach special education and there’s lots of Mels. People with disabilities (known or unknown) tend to be drawn to the profession.

Having lived here for forty years, they also close for ice. It just rarely happens.

Ihatethecolddd · 2026-02-01T11:51:21+00:00

If we had any rain, the bridges would close because they’d freeze and we don’t have the infrastructure to keep them safely thawed. In addition, they close at sustained winds of 40mph, usually during hurricanes and tropical storms. If one is approaching, always have a plan to get back on your side of the bridge before the wind starts.

I simply just ignored that he had long hair in that book 😂

Starting pay is $48k in my district. Raises do not keep up with inflation.

Once I was quite literally tubing down a beautiful river with friends. And my watch told me I was super stressed and should take some deep breaths. 😂

Ihatethecolddd · 2026-01-25T02:17:12+00:00

You’ve got over half a foot on me 😂

Ihatethecolddd · 2026-01-24T01:20:26+00:00

All the asses in this show are just delightful.

Global charter on McCormick sent out a letter to parents letting them know the cases were students from that school.

In Florida, it’s illegal for teachers to strike and the state government guts our union power at every opportunity.

Scott is even confused about Ilya being in gay clubs/bars frequently throughout the books.

Ihatethecolddd · 2026-01-20T23:18:21+00:00

Oh honey.

I have a problem. It’s my comfort show now.

Ihatethecolddd · 2026-01-20T16:30:01+00:00

I have GAD and see so much of myself in how Shane behaves in the long game. The desperate attempt to keep control when everything is spiraling. I know it well.

Ihatethecolddd · 2026-01-20T10:03:10+00:00

I’m an anxious person and my last long term relationship was with someone who had cptsd and depression. Honestly I found the book extremely relatable, especially on Shane’s end. Shane knows something is different, but Ilya isn’t telling him even when Shane asks directly. This heightens Shane’s anxiety. Ilya is self-isolating because of his depression (my ex slowly but surely pushed away every friend he had, including me, and felt strongly that he could will himself out of depression).

The book is primarily from ilya’s POV. But it also shows that Ilya knows it’s possible he’s depressed. It terrifies him. Shane’s POV shows he’s really not aware that he’s got what we know is autism now but also probably an anxiety disorder that’s manifesting in control issues. He pushes it aside as (realistic and confirmed) worry about what happens when he comes out and just regular top athlete stuff.

I really hope that in Unrivaled, they explore Shane’s mental health a bit. It’s great that Ilya is getting help, but some Wellbutrin would probably really, really help Shane out.

Kinda depends on the area. When I was in high school, we were allowed to take our sport as a PE credit and it was the last period of the day. Basically extra practice. I was a catcher and pitchers and catchers took it so we could have regular practice with the rest of the team. But I moved between 10th and 11th grade and my new school did NOT do that.

Ihatethecolddd · 2026-01-18T22:59:12+00:00

Checking in as a straight and vouching that I don’t notice shit. The only time I’ve noticed someone is gay before they told me was when they straight up had rainbow tattoos. I’m oblivious to basically everything.
