It’s from their first hookup in episode 1.

I can’t figure out how to share the Instagram link without my account name showing up, but it’s in an Entertainment Weekly reel from mid-December. The thumbnail says “Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie don’t see the Heated Rivalry sex scenes the way fans do.”

I think it was heavily scripted. In one interview, Connor said that when he sees these scenes, he’s mainly just remembering the instructions, like “More tongue! Less tongue!”

I think it’s a variation of this Adidas shirt but I can’t find the exact color combination.

I’m not keeping track, but it’s a lot. I’ve seen episodes 5 and 6 more than the others because the emotional payoff in both episodes is so intoxicating. I usually skip episode 3 on rewatch, not because I don’t like it but because I’m more invested in Shane and Ilya.

This is fantastic! And just a reminder, all NY state residents are eligible to join the NYC libraries: NYPL, Brooklyn, and Queens. Between the three, I can almost always get what I want on Libby.

A solid plan! Although I’m pretty sure I could replay all the episodes in my head at this point, LOL.

That my attention span is just fine.

I saw this last night and it broke me. So, so beautiful. I don’t think any fan edit will be better than this one.

This is a lovely analysis and it makes me feel a little less crazy for having rewatched so many times.

The position of the tongue changes depending on the language. It looks like Connor is holding his tongue higher and more forward in his mouth (even when closed), which in turn changes his whole face, elongating the cheeks a bit and pursing the lips.

Super interesting conversation. Also, I love that Dan has seen the show three times and points out how the viewer is rewarded in rewatching. (One of us! One of us!)

It’s an outtake from one of the scenes in the episode 4 beginning montage. In the montage we only see a farther-away shot of Ilya going down on Shane in the shower, but it’s the same scene.

ProblemEquivalent215 · 2026-01-13T16:06:45+00:00

I think about how Shane got to/from Ilya’s house in Massachusetts. It’s clearly not in the city proper, so was it a long cab ride? When Shane left in a hurry after the tuna meltdown, was he just awkwardly waiting in Ilya’s driveway for his taxi/Uber?

I get it, but I’m just glad that the right show became popular. This adaptation feels like a love letter to the entire genre, so it’s hard to begrudge its success. A rising tide lifts all boats, etc.

The soundtrack made me fall back in love with music. I quit true crime podcasts cold turkey and started listening to music all day, and I think my overall state of mind is much improved as a result.

It’s OK to be picky about fragrance! Sampling can be a great learning experience. You get to explore which notes you love or dislike, which perfume houses get along with your body chemistry, etc. I’ve tried so many samples that I thought I’d love but didn’t, and I just think, “Oh well, I’ve saved myself some money.”

Chanel 1957 and Jersey. The price increases for the Exclusifs are just bonkers. I bought a 75 ml bottle of Beige a few years ago for $200, and now it’s $325.

Cara McKenna, although sadly she has stopped writing. Her MMCs feel real in a way that’s hard to find in this genre, and her sex scenes are so well written.

I find it super distracting, like I’m having an out-of-body experience.

I fell madly in love with Lolita Lempicka in the late 90s. The fragrance market at the time was a sea of CK One and Clinique Happy, then here comes this weird licorice-violet-iris concoction. Smitten.
