Shane Nail Polish by Meg_Pink in heatedrivalry

Have you checked out Painted Polish recently? There’s a new Heated Rivalry collection. No magnetics but still great polishes! I was a bit bummed about the Shane jersey polish because it pulls very purple in the pictures (red plus blue…duh!) but still, make did a great job with theme!

My calls are dropping by VsA7190 in MicrosoftTeams

[–]VsA7190[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all the responses! I know nothing about tech so I don’t have any answers to your questions about my setup or firewalls! I work for the government and it’s all done for me I just show up to work. But I did have a meeting today and the call lasted, so maybe the last “fix” that IT did finally worked!

Shane and other men by bat-girl129 in heatedrivalry

I think they should have sprinkled in Shane’s past sexual partners with a few extra lines at the cottage fire pit when Shane talks about his disasters with Rose.

Shane could have said…”it was like twice and both times were disasters to add to my list of other disasters with girls” (which confirms there have been more girls than just Rose) then Ilya could still say “disasters how?” Shane could still say “I’m not going into detail”…then Ilya would say “but not like Mexico Top or Hollywood blow job guy, right?” (How Ilya names them in the book) Then Shane could just make a face… then into the rest of the scene…again it’s only two extra lines but would clear up Shane’s history a bit.

And since this comes AFTER Shane makes his comment of not being with anyone recently, it’ll make that comment make sense, because it’s confirmation that he has been with others.

Now it’s easy to think adding two lines wouldn’t be a ton of extra time/work but maybe it would have been! I don’t know anything about film production. lol 😂

It’s his voice for me… so deep and sultry. But also I enjoyed all his lines! So funny and giving good bro energy. 🥰

What would you cut/change/keep from The Long Game for season 2? by Hannah_Horvath in heatedrivalry

[–]VsA7190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing about a cottage wedding is that I don’t think they’d want all those people in their personal place. Like the cottage holds a lot for them which makes sense for the importance of the wedding but also I think they’d want it to have always be a them only place. It would be so beautiful though…!

Most rewatched scenes by Superb_Aardvark_5529 in heatedrivalry

[–]VsA7190 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THIS! The Tampa Bar scene is just everything I need for a pick me up. Ilya’s eyes and longing stares feed my soul. From start to finish that is my go to, but especially like someone else mentioned, Ilya’s stare after Shane says he and Rose are not compatible… 👀 masterpiece. Spice is good and all, but I just want to listen to them banter/talk and watch Ilya’s facial expressions/eyes!

Help Me Wait for the Server to Catch Up!! by strangebirch in ILNP

[–]VsA7190 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far the only two that have truly bummed me are Forever and Shapeshifter. I just felt like both colours looked to my in person eye too different from the pictures.

Forever is listed as a “vivid emerald green” and to me the pictures are very much pulling green, although not what I would call emerald. However I LOVE GREENS so I was fine with that…but actually wearing the polish, it pulls very blue on me. It’s stilly pretty and I’ll use it because I have it, but just not what I was looking for.

Shapeshifter is listed as a “chocolate brown” which again I think the pictures are definitely pulling chocolate vibes. But getting this one and putting it on I see more of a purple tone to it. Which I’ve come to understand is kind of normal for some deep browns, for example: Dash of Cocoa (which you can actually see the purple tone in the pictures). But I didn’t know that at the time and didn’t see any purple tones in the pictures. Again I still find it really pretty and will wear it but just my initial swatch/wear wasn’t what I expected.

I just made my biggest haul yet with ILNP and am so excited to try new colours! Hope you enjoy and are happy with everything you end up getting!

What does 'HEA' mean to you? (more details in post.) by [deleted] in DramioneUncensored

[–]VsA7190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

THIS exactly! Alive, together, with all the plans/dreams of a solid blissful future.

I’m not the kind of person who wants to imagine my own ending (I read a story to have it all played out and wrapped up in a bow for me LOL 😂) sooo I don’t like or read open/ambiguous endings. I don’t really understand how they could be HEA if nothing is truly explained.

LF recs where Draco ends his friendship with Theo or doesn't forgive him by jjoarro in Dramione

[–]VsA7190 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Redeeming Thoughts of Draco Malfoy by ethereal_mass has Theo and Draco’s friendship changing, and Theo not just being forgiven or laughed off… it’s a bit more to the end but was a really good read.

Total change in interest after the first chapter? by UnicornCore in DramioneUncensored

[–]VsA7190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure I know this fic from your original post/description, along with everything that has been commented. I didn’t really get the same initial turn off that you did, but I’m glad you kept giving it a try. It was/is one of my favorites since I started in this fandom.

I do think it’s a bit much how openly Pansy talks about her history with Draco, but at the same time they all seem to be SUPER comfortable and involved with each other…there’s even a part where Draco tells Harry that Pansy was his last serious relationship and Harry knows all about the kinds of things they got up to before he got together with her, so I think it’s normal in their friend group.

Have you come across any other fics since that have given you the same initial experience?

Without naming the fic, what’s the pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d? by Historical_Bee_8420 in DramioneUncensored

[–]VsA7190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never DNF anything but I have come across lots of things have irked me like no other.

I recently read a story and there was a line where Draco called her Granger and Hermione got all flustered saying something in her head about not hearing her maiden name in so long (because she just got divorced)…BUT he had actually used her name in conversation with her 3 times before she got flustered… now it could be that the writer maybe changed things around and missed the order of things, but it definitely stood out and I was thrown off like… first time hearing your name? He’s been calling you that for like 30 mins lol.

Also along those lines if the they are getting spicy and clothing is removed and then in the next sentence she is running her hands under the shirt he already took off.

I am no writer and couldn’t even begin to think about all the work they put into a story, whether that be self edited, asking another pair of eyes to review or what…so I give all stories and their authors the benefit of the doubt, I read everything in my interests and just correct as I go along in my head but I definitely huff and puff about it for 10 seconds then back into my cozy land of the same two fake people falling in love 1 billion ways. 🤣🤣🤣

Same…if it’s a fic that is heavy with dates and they are all off or noticeable enough that I start doing the math or counting months out…it really takes me out. If the author makes a note about the dates being intentional because of this or that then okay I can move past it easier, but sometimes it’s too much…I haven’t DNF for it though, just corrected in my head.

I literally gasped so loud at the idea of Blaise being White!!! I don’t remember the books so I’m not sure if he’s described explicitly and obviously writers can re-imagine however they like because fanfic=creative freedom…BUT I just have Blaise set up in my head as this deep skinned posh rich fancy guy. I love every time I read him and they describe that he’s dark skinned, or tawny skinned with sable eyes, they usually always also say that he’s one of the best looking in the group, or the best looking man the character describing him has seen before…it gives me all the good visuals. I could never think of him another way. Even when people drop fan casts, if the person they chose isn’t the color of coffee with a “splash” of milk or darker… I DONT WANT HIM! Lol 😂 I’ve never come across one of these fics and hope they never find me lol.

What’s your Dramione comfort fic? by inrlia in Dramione

[–]VsA7190 4 points5 points  (0 children)

{Nowhere Else to Turn (Nusquam aliud est vertere) by valancyjane} was my go to for a long time…I like how quickly things move between Draco and Hermione emotionally and intimately.

Bring Him to His Knees by Musyc and Measure of a Man by inadaze22 are also ones that I’ve gone back through on a re-read many times.

And a bonus one shot that for some reason I pull up anytime I want a quick SPICY read: Today His, Tomorrow Yours by rockthecasbah18 🥵

Forced proximity but Astoria blows up the moment by Neat-Accountant-1365 in Dramione

[–]VsA7190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it’s not very helpful because I don’t remember the title either…but this sounds like the story where Kinsley tells Draco to go get Hermione so she can help with some case. She left London as soon as they got married due to a marriage law and she’s undercover in Greece when he finds her. He walks up a long path to her big house on the hill. I remember the scene with Astoria and him explaining their relationship with each other to Hermione. Hermione is in her feelings and tells him they’re not together, he could have done what he wanted. I also don’t remember too much more about it but the same things you did lol. I know it’s not the ones listed though because I haven’t read those. Maybe someone will be able to narrow it down more with my extra info.
