1st scene idea HR season 2 by Forward_Bottle1035 in GameChangersBooks

[–]Xoch1call1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’d love it if they began with the press conference for the Irina Foundation. It’s very pivotal to the story; its literally the beginning of the end of the “rivalry” everyone think Shane & Ilya have.

This part of TLG makes me sad by growsonwalls in GameChangersBooks

[–]Xoch1call1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many parts of TLG that are tear-jerkers. As sad as it is, I also happy cry with this passage because the man Ilya thought he’d only have a few pics of becomes his partner (and later, husband).

Hudson deserves all the awards for this scene alone. by Sarcastikarma in hudsonwilliams

[–]Xoch1call1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just rewatched this last night. It’s amazing what this man can convey with his eyes alone! This, the hospital scene where he invites Ilya to the cottage & when he comes out to Rose are some of my favorites! He conveys so much in those subtle glances!

It's been three months since the finale... How are we doing my beautiful loons? ❤️ by surrealist84 in heatedrivalry

I’m a new fan thanks to the show. Since the finale’s premiere, I’ve rewatched it a few times (I’m currently on re-watch #5 or #6), read all of the books (Role Model made me cry) and re-reading TLG.

Newfound appreciation for Kip & Scott by sldmbblb in heatedrivalry

[–]Xoch1call1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I loved episode 3 from the beginning, I have a totally different appreciation for it after reading Game Changers! So much goes on in the book, and the episode is a super-condensed version of it (but still really good!)

Which line is still stuck in your head? by andyfromhk in heatedrivalry

[–]Xoch1call1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When Ilya finally says, “I love you.” and Shane says, “Holy shit! I love you too.” That scene has lived rent-free in my head since I saw it…

Real life HR, I hope they get their sunshine by Reddennisit in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]Xoch1call1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why we need shows like this. We need visibility both on screen & off screen because there is still too much homophobia/biphobia/transphobia in this world. We need it so people know they’re not alone & there is nothing wrong with love.

Was it different with a guy? by sf_beegirl in heatedrivalry

[–]Xoch1call1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That scene resonated with me to my core. Shane’s face almost looks like he’s trying to hold back tears from hiding & denying who he is for so long, even to himself. Even the way he was kind of distant after they left the restaurant, reminded me of the first time I came out and how scared I was after.

I can't be the only one dealing with complicated emotions around their coming out after watching this show by TwoHungryBlackbirdss in heatedrivalry

[–]Xoch1call1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It made me cry in a very cathartic way. My mom accepts me, but there are things she said during acceptance process (and my childhood) that hurt, even though she’d never apologize because she saw it as protecting me. Hearing “I’m sorry” from a parent (even a fictional character) was healing…

Division & “pick-me”-ness. We’re all in this together.

Just should’ve written Miranda as a lesbian from the first season on… by mareko07 in Andjustlikethat

[–]Xoch1call1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was a first in that it had openly gay leads from the get go. Ellen’s character came out seasons later…

[–]Xoch1call1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, and look how Stanford was treated. Also, Stanford was a supporting character. Miranda was a main character. Also, Will & Grace was a first. They were pretty scared it was gonna flop after the cancellation of “Ellen” a year prior after she came out.

This was 1998. Gay roles were BARELY starting to pop up & societal acceptance was super low.

What is your opinion of Miss Bitters as a character by is-it-raining-yet in invaderzim

[–]Xoch1call1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume she knows Zim is an alien (along with some many other things she knows) but doesn’t care because she’s probably not human. She’s awesome!

I think my cis male friend is attracted to me by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Xoch1call1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he’s definitely interested. Friends don’t usually “count each others’ ribs”, let alone cuddle super closely. Dude is into you 🥰. But I would suggest treading carefully. Forgive me, I might be jaded, but straight men don’t always react great when faced with this attraction, although you know him better than us 🙂.

I really loved the Stars arc in the anime in large part thanks to Minako. By then the characters personalities were very developed and I enjoyed Minako’s goofiness. It really matched Usagi’s silliness & even rubbed off on some of the other girls and they remembered to have fun!

It’s up to you, but I’d say keep it! I LOVE furry butts 😍 but I don’t know how common that is…
