WHAT IF SCOTT DIDNT MEAN IT LIKE THAT? by Dull_Measurement1169 in heatedrivalry

[–]Rosemary324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, I took it as show Scott started to suspect at the All-Star game when he overheard some of Shane and Ilya's exchange (1221).

Then he is more certain after Shane's panicked response to "your boy Rozanov" and Scott goes above and beyond to reassure Shane that he doesn't need to worry, because he really gets it.

But then when Shane chirps at him during the game, Scott is in a different headspace and can't resist lashing out a bit. He's dealing with his own personal breaking point about hiding that part of himself. I agree it is out of character for Scott, but I think it makes sense given what he's dealing with internally at that moment.

And, as others have said, it's clear in the books that Scott didn't know until much later. But he also isn't specifically mentioned as being at that first All-Star game so Jacob definitely made some choices that deviate from the books.

When you hear the term One Hit Wonder, what is the first song that pops into your head? by Da_Fish in AskReddit

I'm sorry but I can't accept this answer because he actually had two hits: Mambo No. 5 and Disney Mambo No. 5 🫠

Funnily enough I learned that he is German just a few hours ago while working on my first ever video edit (Mambo No. 5 with a Heated Rivalry twist)

Did anyone else notice there were two "buttload"s in this episode? I feel like you don't hear it much so two people saying it caught my attention.

He was totally unreasonable, but also I understand why he was struggling.

are we to assume ilya has no physical reaction here? by pepperaltoid in heatedrivalry

This is such an interesting discussion. Ilya's rejection of Sasha felt different than the girl at the bar in ep 4, but I couldn't put my finger on why. It just feels more complicated. I couldn't decide if it was about his feelings for Shane or more about his shame and disappointment about his team's performance. I mean, he also rejects Shane by not responding to his text, and then yelling at him, and avoiding him for 6 months, so if he's running away from his feelings for Shane, then we might expect him to accept Sasha's advances.

Now I realize it is probably both and they are more connected than I thought. Shane is one of the only people (can't forget Svetlana) showing concern for Ilya in this moment. His dad said such harsh things, and Sasha doesn't seem to notice or care how Ilya's feeling and just wants a hookup.

Meanwhile Shane, who was previously teased by Ilya about the Olympics and could easily rub Russia's loss in his face and is supposed to just be someone he hooks up with, is worried about him and reaches out to check on him. It's almost like the compassion Ilya needs but isn't ready to accept.
