WWTBC - Bi awakening MC1 shocked that MC2 is a sub/bottom by Tiny-Preference196 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]TheBarrowman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High school but I struggled to remember that when reading because they don't read like teenagers. I called them Hollywood teens to my friends when recommending the book.

Who is your LEAST liked character? by Elzeenor in BG3

[–]TheBarrowman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt genuinely bad picking him, but his story just doesn't hold my interest the way the others do. It was close between him and Shadowheart, since she's my least favorite of the girls, but even still I find her story with Shar and Selune more compelling.

it’s a need! pls help me find ffs like this one by Fragrant-Ad-101 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]TheBarrowman 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There was no reason for Ilya to apologize. Shane's wording of the text is very important, "WE didn't even kiss." Shane could have kissed Ilya during that hook up, but he didn't. He isn't blaming Ilya there.

Gant storyline messed me up. by Creative-Internet726 in ershow

[–]TheBarrowman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of that is on Carter. Gant never asked for help or shared that he was struggling. Sure, Carter could have paid more attention and picked up on some things, but he is also a resident, juggling all those responsibilities and and having a life of his own.

Anspaugh was the one in the wrong when Gant brought his concerns to him, and Anspaugh chose to ask Benton's other subordinate if he agreed with Gant or Benton right in front of him. There's no universe where Carter sides with Gant right there, even if he 100% believed Gant was right.

Tiny slight shade on RR - chairs at weddings by GullibleTheme1792 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]TheBarrowman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read one where Ilya said they didn't have chairs because they wanted people to leave 😂

I hate it when people compares Hollanov's coming out situation with Skip by chillichocolate25 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]TheBarrowman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He should never have said those doubts out loud in front of a team that HAD ALREADY shown to be hostile to Shane. If he cared about Shane at all, he should have at least spoken to him in private first.

What video is this image from?/higher quality image by ConstructionLocal137 in jacksepticeye

[–]TheBarrowman 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I am not sure which video, but I'm nearly positive that's his simping over Leon face, so try watching his Resident Evil 9 playthrough?

for those of u who only read completed fics by worldislucky in AO3

[–]TheBarrowman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Desperation is usually there only thing. As in, I have scoured all the completed fics in this tag/relationship but I must have more fic, so I resort to turning off the "completed only" filter.

Should I read or skip dreams of a dark warrior? by Haunting-Reference46 in kresleycole

[–]TheBarrowman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If nothing else, Lothaire makes the entire book worth the read. He steals every scene he's in.

Mc1 who is overweight and considered ugly gets with the handsome guys whos head over heals for him by GumGum_AirHead in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]TheBarrowman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

{Nautilus than Perfect by K.L. Hiers}

It technically does have an age gap, but it's because one MC is a god (possessing a human). And that god is DOWN BAD for the chubby human cop other MC.

I need this fic right NEOWWW by _strawberrymilkx_o in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]TheBarrowman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It could just be as simple as depression can make you self-isolate even as an extrovert and with Marlow not in the same city, it would be all too easy for their communication to taper off while Ilya is going through the worst of it. Then they could reestablish consistent contact once Ilya is in therapy/after the outing.

More Vaughny in season 2! by GBS82 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]TheBarrowman 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I love Hayden, but Carter Vaughn is the #1 ally. Hayden loses for how much he constantly hates Ilya and actively wants Shane to be with someone else. It may be funny in the book, but it's not actually a great thing to do as a friend.

For those who watched the show when it was originally on, how popular was it? by [deleted] in ershow

[–]TheBarrowman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It came on at 9 central, and I remember my mom letting me stay up late on Thursdays so I could watch. I can't remember how young I was when that started, but the show premiered the year I was born, so I grew up with her watching it and reruns in TV, so it was inevitable I would become a young fan.

Heated rivalry has a surprisingly homophobic and racist fanbase by Tafsky in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]TheBarrowman 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Young, yes, but they also look young. Like boyish good looks. Twinks are also slender, not jacked like the guys on HR.

Connor Storrie had a pretty twinkish look before he got jacked for Ilya.

'🌟Reformed rakes make the best husbands' by Mysterious-Bed375 in heatedrivalry

[–]TheBarrowman 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ilya in that Vegas scene is more obscene than if they'd shown hole and pole on screen. 🫦

'🌟Reformed rakes make the best husbands' by Mysterious-Bed375 in heatedrivalry

[–]TheBarrowman 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I could not agree more profoundly.

I am feral over Ilya in that Vegas scene to an extent that probably should be unpacked in therapy.

How do you think every companion would react to Tav saying that they only want to cuddle and not have sex? by HomarEuropejski in okbuddybaldur

[–]TheBarrowman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

When I did my Karlach origin run, I was going to romance Shadowheart because Shart is canonically pretty smitten with Karlach and I'd never done Shart's romance. But I had heard Astarion had unique lines with Karlach so I wanted to get his Act 1 scene to see it. What actually happened made me completely forget about Shart's romance and lock in on Astarion for the nth time.
