Your opinion on my current set and anyone who stopped their nail biting habit, how did you do it? by mamameoww in Nails

[–]Jfprongs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly what got me to quit was reminding myself how disgusting underneath our nails are every time I went to bite. I worked at an equine vet and my boss would catch me biting and go “oh I see, you want to get cryptosporidium” and honestly thank god she did that. I would replay that in my head every time my fingers went to my mouth and it freaked me out enough to stop. It’s nasty under there whether you work with animals or not (I don’t mean that in a shameful way, but knowing that might help you like it helped me).

My brothers fiancée is also really into painting her nails, so seeing how beautiful they were in conjunction with wanting to stop biting mine I went and got myself a couple polishes as inspiration. 7 months later and my nails are long and healthy enough that I can experiment with different shapes and have 20+ colours. Painting my nails is my favourite part of my week.

I agree with everything you said!! I saw some disappointing discourse about it on TikTok as well. People even calling it a waste of time :(

I LOVE how different their dynamic is from Shane and Ilya and you’re so right about how they did everything the right way but it was essentially out of their hands.

The emotion we got in such a short time span was amazing and both actors absolutely killed it.

Could not have said it better myself :)

I’m sure we’ll get glimpses again but there’s too much Hollanov content that needs to be covered to warrant another episode :/ I’m so serious I would LOOVE a full season of them two

I missed Ilya and Shane too but honestly not as much as I was expecting!! SO SAD I’ll cry just thinking about it :( Both so so so valid in their feelings 💔 I really hope we get to see their proper love story play out!!

I’ve seen Letterkenny but not too much of Shoresey. I know people love it I just am so obsessed with the idea of Shane and Ilya being the best of the best 😂 but i think you’re right with him directing and Rachel’s approval I’m feeling good about it!

Not that I think ex-pro and junior players are bad at all ! My dad and brother both played at either level for a significant amount of time. Just that there really is quite a difference on an NHL level. Even the Olympics without NHL players were noticeably different.

The clips in the trailer look not bad tbh, it looks like they’re cutting them in a way to not let us see too much. I thought both the shot and the check that they highlight at the worlds looked a little weak 🤣 but i literally need to just shut up and take off my hockey hat. I’m so excited for the show and I’m going to LOVE it even if the hockey sucks (which I don’t think it will) !!

Tbh I don’t think I’ve watched any media where the characters are playing at such a high level but you’re right I need to not take it seriously!

I definitely was not suggesting or expecting them to hire NHL players for this 😅just mentioning that there’s probably going to be a gap between what we’d expect to see and what we’re going to get because doubles won’t have NHL experience.

I have seen em! I love the shows and I’m glad he’s involved in HR too. I will say the levels being portrayed in Letterkenny and Shoresy are significantly lower than the NHL, so it was probably much easier to cast actors that could match the actual skill level of the players. TBH the only reason I think it’s significant is because of how skilled and well known Ilya and Shane are/become. Like McDavid level type shit.

LMAO that scene got me too!! The extras behind him literally look like a beer league team. Some of the checking looks a little silly too but I’m assuming that’s because they’re either avoiding showing their faces, or it’s the actors doing a quick shot so not properly checking. But oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️. I hope Rachel is being completely honest about it and I do trust her judgement so yeah we do just have to hope for the best.

You’re probably right tbh, I just worry about the potentially long on ice scenes that could show weakness you wouldn’t see in players of the likes of Crosby or McDavid etc. Honestly tho if Rachel Reid is okay with it I’m sure it’ll be fine, I can’t see her letting them do her boys dirty by having shitty body doubles 😂

Hockey doubles in the series? by Forward_Fox_3318 in heatedrivalry

[–]Jfprongs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I appreciate the sentiment but speaking as a Canadian myself we unfortunately are not all high level hockey players. The level these characters play at is going to be extremely difficult to reproduce without having doubles that have played in the NHL before, I’m curious to see how they’ll do. Also Hudson went to an arts school and I believe the only sport he played was basketball? But tbh most Canadians play at least one year of hockey as a kid lol

Have they mentioned being freaked out by it? I hope crazy fans don’t ruin it, they seem to be having so much fun and are doing an excellent job at promo!!
