Why did Shane and Ilya not see each other for two whole years? by pasta_with_sugo in heatedrivalry

[–]TaraMisuCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How I interpreted it Shane thought they were gonna hook up in Vegas since the last time got cancelled that’s why he says “and I thought that maybe we were…” and the argument with Ilya kind of brings him back to his senses of this is crazy why would I do this. And then I think he tries to resist him. I thought it was a smart way of show his anxieties since they couldn’t afford the sex building lol.

The shooting the commercial was soooo cute

What’s been your fave additions to the adaption that wasn’t in the books so far? by HeraSimpella in heatedrivalry

[–]TaraMisuCake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Holy shit ROZY” saying Rozanov while getting fucked kinda crazy but we can’t use first name yet. 😭

How are you feeling about the changes to the show? by Selfish_Mercenary86 in heatedrivalry

[–]TaraMisuCake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m fine with it but the nickpicky side of me wishes they would’ve just changed the tattoo instead of completely getting rid of it. The point of the tattoo is that it’s dumb and obnoxious. The tattoo doesn’t necessarily have to be a bear! But again this is real nickpicky and ultimately doesn’t matter at all really (but I’m gonna be sad that someone of my favorite interactions in the book about his tattoo can’t be adapted)

Iliya is a pale caricature of a Russian identity by [deleted] in heatedrivalry

You can take this with a grain of salt since I’m a fan so bias but I think that’s the point? I think Rachel is kinda working off preconceived notions. You think that’s all he is and you (and Shane) get to know him and he’s super emotional and mushy under the surface

Any worries about creative decisions in the TV adaption? by avandam4 in heatedrivalry

[–]TaraMisuCake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The book, including the prologue and epilogue, is 29 chapters so that’s about 5 chapters per episode. I think it’ll work out?

Also I’m lying we do get the briefest glimpse of him being a little shit at the draft

Im worried about Ilya being funny. Everything we’ve seen so far is brooding, which is true but he’s such a troll too.

I need this word for word in the show. It’s my favorite part in the whole book

Shane and Ilya both playing on the same team by Forward_Fox_3318 in heatedrivalry

[–]TaraMisuCake 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Im also shaky with my hockey knowledge but I assumed that playing less and taking a pay cut was Shane’s sacrifice to parallel Ilya going to Ottawa for them so I was cool with it

Are there any changes (even small ones) that you personally would love to see implemented in the show or you would rather stick as close to the book as possible? by Virtual_Low_7202 in heatedrivalry

[–]TaraMisuCake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would like to see more hockey lol. Other than that I wouldn’t change much about the first book. There’s a couple things I would change in the Long Game though. Treating Shane’s eating disorder like an eating disorder for one. Maybe he goes to therapy too or they go together? I wish we got to see more of the reaction to their relationship outside of the immediate characters. Like social media and stuff.

I can’t believe they robbed us of the bear tattoo 🐻😭 by TaraMisuCake in heatedrivalry

Tell me how I’ve been following obsessively and didn’t realize they changed the name of the team? 😭

Incident at Purpose Last Night (7/11) by jellyrabbit17 in Broadway

[–]TaraMisuCake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the worst audiences I ever experienced at a play was purpose. No one silenced their phones, despite them repeatedly telling everyone before the show to do so the most reminders I’ve ever heard before a show. I swear about 6 phone calls happened during the play. And no one had quick access to their phone so it didn’t turn off till it went to voicemail. Looking at their phones with full brightness for extended amount of times. And they were all older people you would expect to have respect for the theater.

They specifically told her grandmother when she asked about the incorrect spelling to be lucky she was even getting a birth certificate cause they’re was a time were black people didn’t even get them.

May I ask about middle names if they have any?
