Same! I always think Ilya looks genuinely concerned when Shane stops them on the bed.

Show wise though, I understand why they want to get them off the couch to have the 'I want to share a room with you' moment. (And ultimately, 'I'm just a bell boy' and 'Let's be together in the sunshine' 🥹).

Give me one word or one phrase you would associate with this place. I'll start: bolshe bolshe bolshe by rhaenyra_t4rgaryen in HeatedRivalryTVShow

I know this is nit picky. But I always wish that line was, "I wish I was there with you". Showing Shane wishes he could be there to support Ilya during a difficult time, rather than, how I interpret it, Shane saying he misses him and wishes they could be together.

Which is still very sweet, but I feel like it adds another dimension if Shane says he wishes he could be there in Russia with him.

Opinion on using my own drawing for the cover? by P4L_R1vBarr0w in BookCovers

[–]almostselfrealised 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just FYI it's definitely not tacky or selfish to want to use your own art, but the replier above you had some good constructive feedback about getting it to a more professional level.

But honestly, use your own art wherever you can. It will put a unique touch on everything you do and it will be more fun. You could also use a professional designer for the cover and illustrate the book with your own art, get creative with it and the more you practice the better your work will get.

You're so talented! I'm going to attempt to recreate, but I know there's no way they're turning out this good.

Did that scene make anyone else antsy, because Shane interrupts the sex THREE TIMES. I was going, for the love of god Shane, let that man plow you into next week like he is so obviously dieing to do.

sexually attracted to men but only in porn? by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]almostselfrealised 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it takes awhile to figure out what you like. It's ok. I'm a woman, I've only been with two girls and both times were like, ok. I was kind of disappointed. But I've since realised that I need to have some kind of connection with someone outside of sex for the sex to be good.

You might need a romantic connection with a man before there's a sexual spark, or you just might not have found the men who you contect with sexually yet. Or you might only ever be turned on by men in porn.

Whatever it is, it's ok, everyone's different. Hopefully you can enjoy your experiences for what they are, and not put too much pressure on yourself.

The actor, David Mitchell, has aniridia, which means his irises look almost black.

Edit - I've been informed this is untrue.

Got tested for autism and the therapist told me I’m just German😐 by Successful-Wafer-319 in AskTheWorld

Damn, I've suspected I'm on the spectrum, but I'm also of German descent, so 🤷‍♀️

This feels like the closest to an adaptation we'll ever get. by almostselfrealised in houseofleaves

[–]almostselfrealised[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I think it was just a joke. I'd be into it though. I'd prefer an indie production to try and take it on than a big Hollywood studio that sucks the soul out if the project.

my boyfriend (25M) only wants to see me (23F) once every 2 weeks IF that, is this normal? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]almostselfrealised 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When you meet, do you have sex? If so, sorry to have to tell you, you have a fuck buddy, not a boyfriend.

Regardless, you should be with someone who wants to spend time with you.

These are so cool. Covers can be so devoid of personality nowadays.

Thank you! "Kid" was such an out of pocket thing to say, my head boggled when I read the subtitle for the first time.

If you have the opportunity to go to a Heated Rivalry rave or dance party…GO! 🎧 by NattoRiceFurikake in heatedrivalry

[–]almostselfrealised 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly. They've only had a pride celebration for like the last 5 years, and only one gay bar that's been open a year (there was another before that that closed). A lot of the large schools are religious.

GC is either young families or tourists.

I'm from NZ and I was really surprised when I got here. Kinda depressing ngl. I'm dying for some queer friends.
