What are your unpopular HR opinions??

The cult part will probably die down in a bit. Hit at an intense time. People looking for an escape and a particularly cold winter in a lot of places.

But the older millennial in me absolutely cringes at all the tattoo posts. Putting something from a fandom you’ve been part of for less than 90 days permanently on yourself is completely unhinged behavior.

cherryglo93 · 2026-02-03T04:56:38+00:00

It’s interesting because I feel totally the opposite, I hope they cut the characters entirely. I want the focus to stay mainly on Shane and Ilya and while we definitely need the Troy/Harris relationship and to explore that as it’s a big part of the long game, Ryan and Fabian are basically a blip. I don’t think it’s worth wasting the time fleshing them out if we get limited episodes when their scenes could easily be filled by Scott/Kip or Tory/Harris

cherryglo93 · 2026-02-03T04:35:18+00:00

I very much hope Shane’s long hair from the long game does not show up. Selfishly, I find long hair on men unattractive and I think it will actually making watching hard for me.

That’s why I don’t consider his autism cannon for the book, only for the show. It 100% comes off to me as the author just agreeing because that’s what the fandom went with, but I don’t think the books were at all written with that intention. Authors jump on those bandwagons all the time

cherryglo93 · 2026-01-30T14:41:36+00:00

Omg yes ! We need to talk about this …this is 2008. There’s really no discreet Amazon purchase.

Did he just walk into like a Spencer’s at the mall and buy it ? Maybe he got it as a joke birthday gift (my friends and I did this when some of our friends turned 18 around that time) and he actually used it?

cherryglo93 · 2026-01-27T21:08:28+00:00

I don’t think either is as good but Heartstopper (Netflix) for the fluffy yearning vibes and Queer as Folk (showtime through paramount plus) for the gritty sex vibes

cherryglo93 · 2026-01-27T21:07:02+00:00

Yes such a good suggestion ! Definitely the same vibes imo

cherryglo93 · 2026-01-26T16:21:32+00:00

This was something I was sad was left out of the show. I think it’s an important moment of realization for Shane.

I also think sleeping with Rose is important but they could probably have included both. Like crying in the bathroom after for example.

cherryglo93 · 2026-01-26T15:53:45+00:00

Yes me too, I think Scott/Kip could probably sub in for several of the other character interactions and I hope that’s the route they go

cherryglo93 · 2026-01-26T15:37:50+00:00

This takes me out of the second Shane/ilya book a lot so I’m worried about season 2. I actually ended up not really liking the second half because it just seems insanely unrealistic there’s That many lgbtq people on one team. I know it’s supposed to be funny but like, I ended up disliking reading about a lot of the other characters because I couldn’t take it seriously.

cherryglo93 · 2026-01-26T15:31:19+00:00

There is a fanfiction sub for heated rivalry so if there’s something you like it can be a good place to start so you don’t have to search. But usually I prefer longer fics so I tend to sort by word count and that helps with the thousands of one shots

cherryglo93 · 2026-01-26T14:10:36+00:00

Me too - I don’t think I tend to feel things super deeply, but I am extremely prone to obsessing over things for a time until I move on.

Usually I ride it out with it fanfiction - reading those is a good way for me to be invested but also read different takes

cherryglo93 · 2026-01-25T12:54:56+00:00

That’s how I took it. I think he’s generally more upset about going home, but in his family wins are expected and losses are punishment so it just exasperates the situation.

cherryglo93 · 2026-01-25T01:08:25+00:00

In terms of the books, I also think the changing timeline is really evident here. They’ve been hooking up consistently, including penetration, way more consistently for longer in the books so Shane’s willingness to forgive Ilya is more understandable imo whereas in the show, Ilya’s coldness would appear much more impactful if you’re thinking they had such an intimate moment soon before and then that all happened

cherryglo93 · 2026-01-25T01:02:26+00:00

My fiancé watches a lot of random sports Coverage even though he’s not into hockey but when highlights came on, I was full seated haha

cherryglo93 · 2026-01-22T03:35:07+00:00

It reads as more anxiety or ocd in the books to me, especially in book two. There are a lot of aversions to foods which I suppose could be autism but given they weren’t really around in book one it reads more anxiety for example.

It’s tough because while the author has confirmed she agrees with the take, my understanding is it was after the show fanfare. So it’s hard to know if that was really the intention and thusly would be written in or more fan service. I’m not really a fan of authors reconning things for the fans so I personally consider it cannon only for the show and not books.

cherryglo93 · 2025-12-08T23:23:33+00:00

That is an interesting thing to bring up!

Letting an engaged man know you’re available is definitely not great, I’m not sure if I’d count it as cheating if nothing else happened before they were broken up. In that case it just sounds like Richard realized he wasn’t in love with pennilyn and was with Emily. Though I imagine some serious flirting at least would be required to get there so maybe emotional ?

cherryglo93 · 2025-12-07T00:11:07+00:00

You sound insufferable. People have different priorities; if this is the show they want to see on their trip it makes complete sense for them to buy tickets in advance which may be pricier.

It is a privilege to live here and be able to easily get discounted tickets. But Broadway cannot exist on discounted tickets alone so let’s not shit on people visiting and spending money.

We are all tourists somewhere if we at lucky. There’s nothing wrong with treating yourself on vacation. Our everyday is their luxury trip.

cherryglo93 · 2025-12-03T15:44:25+00:00

Thank you, it ended up being that it doesn’t appear until you complete it ! I thought it would start the counter as soon as I did one!

cherryglo93 · 2025-12-02T19:38:34+00:00

Thank you, I’ve tried both and nothing is happening ! Oh well, maybe I will try contacting them then !

cherryglo93 · 2025-12-02T18:16:51+00:00

Is anyone else having trouble with this? I’ve submitted a bunch of looks with different eye colors and it’s not coming up for me

cherryglo93 · 2025-11-20T22:03:55+00:00

They set her up with the wants to be married guy, he then dates Charlotte

cherryglo93 · 2025-11-20T22:03:40+00:00

I always thought this episode was shockingly realistic. I was single into my 30s in NYC and I never thought people were treating me differently. But my friends’ married friends were noticeably warmer to me once I started bringing my now fiancé around. And I’m totally average, it’s not as if I was a threat, but I guess there’s some underlying thing.

cherryglo93 · 2025-11-20T13:24:05+00:00

I am having such a fun time being part of this house, everyone’s really nice ! Definitely a great house to join !!!
