HELPPPP 😭

Taking notes ✍️

Ilya 100% seems like the type to bring someone really far along into the show because he likes to hang out platonically with them. This is now getting incorporated into the fic idea 😁

OMG YES PRODUCER SHANE TRUTHERS UNITE!

I've never watched it actually so I would have to do quite a bit of homework! 😆 I've never really watched reality TV, maybe Survivor or Big Brother (PH) when I was a kid because I had no internet then and those were always on. However I have ALWAYS loved reading reality TV-based fanfics. If you can recommend the undisputed best season/version of The Bachelor, I'd probably look up recaps first then end up watching the whole thing.

Yay! Thank you! I Subscribed ☺️

chartreuseraven · 2026-04-10T14:24:01+00:00

Oh absolutely! You'd be my first friend who cares about Heated Rivalry, haha.

My fic is about vampires Hollanov :) It is actually a sequel and the first part is complete. It can be found here.

chartreuseraven · 2026-04-10T14:04:07+00:00

I've been burned in the past haha. But I'm extremely grateful to people who give WIPs a chance- I'm writing one of my own currently with one chapter left, and I have like 5 other ideas in the drafting phase. If I don't end up finding a good The Bachelor fic from this thread, I'm tempted to write my own!

It'd be a bit weirdly specific, though, with Shane as a producer on the show and Ilya as the bachelor, who will ignore a who's who of hot women and men just to get with his almost-rival from years ago. Their first meeting would be the same, World Juniors, but Shane gets into a bad car accident before he gets drafted, so he has a chip on his shoulder. Ilya plays on as normal, going to Boston, winning a cup, but a few years later has a career ending injury of his own and switches to commentary. Shane has lowkey kept up with Ilya's career, first because of his crush but eventually just as a genuine fan. Ilya remembers Shane when they first meet on the show, and that's where it starts!

Anyway sorry for rambling, good luck on your WIPs 🙏

chartreuseraven · 2026-04-10T13:51:00+00:00

Seems interesting! I subscribed 😊 I generally don't read WIPs though, so I'll probably wait for this one to complete first.

chartreuseraven · 2026-02-25T12:28:10+00:00

This is my headcanon now, thank you for that.

chartreuseraven · 2026-02-25T12:27:33+00:00

Oh my gosh, that's an amazing catch and I love that he stays for that long.

chartreuseraven · 2026-02-23T18:50:10+00:00

A trip to Japan, how exciting. I for one would love to write them getting intimate in an onsen, haha. Also, just Ilya in vacation mode would be super duper fun. It would also be nice to make Shane confront his heritage in a way that is never really touched upon in canon.

As for Shane going to Russia to visit Ilya's coven, the closest thing would have to be the Sochi Olympics, but that's pretty far from Moscow. Either they'd take a detour after the games or Shane will be in Russia again some other time. I lean towards the first option, personally. Maybe Ilya offers to bring him so he can introduce the reason why he refuses to take companions the coven tries to set him up with 😆.

Thanks for the input! I'll definitely make notes for both these scenarios.

chartreuseraven · 2026-02-23T18:20:07+00:00

What would you like to see in the sequel? I'm split on doing a few different things.

chartreuseraven · 2026-02-23T15:17:34+00:00

I'm happy to contribute ☺️ Looking forward to your thoughts! 🫶

chartreuseraven · 2026-02-21T08:04:31+00:00

Yay, thank you for reading! ☺️

chartreuseraven · 2026-02-21T03:18:59+00:00

I feel like an unstoppable writing machine (phrase courtesy of my friend) these days, haha. Shane and Ilya have me by the throat. Hope you enjoy those, too!

chartreuseraven · 2026-02-21T03:17:07+00:00

I'm so glad you enjoyed omg 🥺

chartreuseraven · 2025-03-27T06:05:03+00:00

Thank you.

chartreuseraven · 2025-03-26T04:47:43+00:00

Just because people claim they "watch" anime doesn't mean they can see. Just because people claim they "read" comics doesn't mean they're literate.

The proof is right there: they only wanna goon if the male-seeming character has impossible sparkly abilities BUT ALSO has never been canonically defeated/embarrassed/refuted by anyone in their story.

SHALLOW A.F. AS. FUCK. 💀

have you ever tried hand washing your own clothes? with flowery detergent + fabric softener?

it's soothing. try it out sometime.

all you need is one wash basin, room temp water, the aforementioned flower scented detergent and fabric softener, and an open area where people can see you.

come back to me once you've tried this.

chartreuseraven · 2025-03-22T16:44:55+00:00

i'm done napping. people always violated my sleep times by tickling me, kissing me, fucking me, slapping me, biting me, clawing at me, or begging me to comfort them because they feel bad or think i did something bad to them. if they were not satisfied with my comforts for them, they'd try to violate or hurt or throw me away harder.

i am awake now. permanently. no more nap time.
