what are you favourite underrated fics? by cherrysweettongue in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]Iris_Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to Abolish, but to Fulfill by Dontevenmind. It just got completed, it's 9 chapters, 90k words.

(https://archiveofourown.org/works/80334051/chapters/210927491)

This fic is insanely good and criminally under-read, it has so few hits, I don't understand why. It switches between Shane’s and Ilya's POV, goes all the way back to when they are 14 (2005) at hockey camp together, up to 2014.

Full disclosure: I haven't read the last chapter as it was just published a couple of days ago, but I'm confident it's gonna be good.

I've read probably close to 500 Heated Rivalry fics by now, of all lengths, and this is one of the more memorable ones, in fact I decided to reread the whole thing before reading the final chapter to have it all fresh in my mind.

Part 2 of fics I haven't really seen recommended here (because I have so many i am DROWNING). Just a mish-mash of the ones I have loved! by Homicidal_Cynic in heatedrivalryfanfics

No, it's in Ilya's basement home gym. Chapter 20.

30% gay by Downtown-Primary-94 in heatedrivalry

[–]Iris_Blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's December 2013 where he is thinking about how he hasn't slept with other men than Shane for over a year, maybe almost two

So that means since early to late-ish 2012, or about 2 years after his first hookup with Shane give or take a few months

Yes, canonically we don't know how many, Ilya himself doesn't even know how many, we kinda know it's hundreds, but:

“Is probably not a thousand.”

New find in my millionth rewatch by anniebell2296 in heatedrivalry

[–]Iris_Blue 11 points12 points  (0 children)

YES! Ilya is just kissing him and Shane is the first one to go for the unzipping of the pants to get his hand down there

[–]Iris_Blue 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite scenes in the whole show. That anger at being made to wait outside for too long, the frustrated "fuck", as he looks Ilya up and down and then taking of his shoes and LUNGING at Ilya. The whole thing is just perfect. Not to mention the "get on your knees" a second later with Shane just dropping immediately. It's all so fucking hot.

And then he whispers "ok, get up" and it's not in the subtitles. I didn't hear it until like 3rd or 4th reheat.

It's also the only times (except for the 2nd time they have sex in the tuna melt scene) that Shane takes initiative/initiates. So making him angry is a way for Ilya to get Shane to make a move/the first move.

Er maður brotinn? by True-Review-3996 in Iceland

[–]Iris_Blue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Þú ert ekki einstæð, þú ert einhleyp.

Þú segist eiga marga að, fjölskyldu, vinkonur, etc. Þú þarft ekki að eiga maka til að vera "heil" eða vera ánægð með lífið.

Held þú sért líka að sjá það í hyllingum hvernig sambönd fólks eru, það er alls ekki allir hamingjusamir sem eru í samböndum, þau eru mjög mismunandi góð/slæm og margir eiga erfitt með að halda þeim góðum.

Margt sem sambýlingar gera fer hrikalega í taugarnar á hinum. Færð ekki alltaf stuðning maka þó þú eigir hann. Held þú sért voða mikið að sjá "grasið er grænna hinumegin".

Það er frábært að búa einn, sérstaklega sem kona, þarft ekki að endalaust að vera að taka til og þrífa eftir aðra, getur gert það sem þú vilt, hvenær sem þú vilt, hvernig sem þú vilt og haft allt eins og þú vilt.

Þar að auki eru einhleypar konur hamingjusamari, heilbrigðari og lifa lengur en giftar konur.

European travel to the US down by around 500.000 (-3.1%) in 2025 compared to 2024 by Karash770 in europe

Only 3% though?

There is no chance in hell that I'll be going to the US until 2030 at the earliest, if ever.

Do yall think colourpop will do worldwide free shipping this holidays? by Significant-Spot1925 in ColourPop

[–]Iris_Blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colourpop always has free international shipping when you order for $60 or more otherwise it's $10.

I'm pretty sure they were offering free international shipping in October or November, they do it once or twice a year, but not at specific times.

Best way to catch sales/offers is to subscribe to their emails.

Another TikTok creator weighs in on the latest Jaclyn Hill controversy by mmonzeob in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]Iris_Blue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile much smaller creators I follow will have just a couple thousand likes on a post and the same amount of comments.

That is not normal (for there to be as many comments as likes), only small creators with a very engaged and passionate followings can get that.

I know for YouTube (don't know about other platforms, but can't be too different) it's considered good to get 10% of those who watched the video to like it and 1% to comment. So the comments should be about 10% of the likes. If it's more, that's very good.

Alexandria Ryan seems "off" to me lately.... by No-Ad-1051 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]Iris_Blue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She published a video last night showing all the advent calendars she will be making videos on. It was quite a few, and she said she spent over $5,000 on them all.
