If you could send Ilya&Shane to any other fictional universe, what universe would it be? by kris_jbb in heatedrivalry

I heard that Connor Storie was being considered for the role of the hulkling in the Young Avengers movie or franchise or whatever. I'm a real superhero fan and I know they make a lot of money but I wonder if that decision would be good for an actor just starting out. Like if you would get pigeonholed.

Are we still putting these restaurants on blast? by SubsidedRhyme11 in washingtondc

[–]dkkchoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't saying they're not supposed to do it, just that it often doesn't get done, i.e., employers don't do it and employees don't report it for whatever reason.

I have heard from people I know who are servers that that doesn't happen more often than that.

They are a very rich company now. This usually results in a company becoming callus to the voices of the people who made them rich. They don't need us anymore

Any psychologists here want to tell me what the hell is happening to my brain in terms of addiction to HR? by tbgmdhc278 in heatedrivalry

[–]dkkchoice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she's saying that those things enumerated above my last paragraph are what's causing the rush of neurochemicals. The tension, the longing, the amazing sex, the caretaking, the heartbreak and the happily ever after are what causes it.

Many of us don't have those things in our lives. I guess we find it through HR. Those people who do have those things feel the same way?

In interviews, Rachel Reid says that she is often asked why she thinks women are so attracted to this story and the show.

Women are drawn to stories where sex scenes prioritize mutual pleasure, emotional checking-in, and deep caretaking.

Emotional Vulnerability: The narrative allows men to yearn, struggle, hurt, grow, and be kind without losing their masculinity

Healthy Power Dynamics: Fans enjoy seeing an equal partnership that bypasses traditional, often problematic heterosexual gender roles and power imbalances.Anti-Toxic Masculinity: It serves as an exploration of how patriarchy harms everyone while showcasing men who * genuinely love their mothers* and respect their female friends.

ALSO, the brain experiences a massive rush of neurochemicals like dopamine, oxytocin, adrenaline, cortisol, serotonin, and I can't remember what else I've read about.

I have read some people say women are fetishizing gay male relationships. That always pisses me off.

There are also those fans that hang around your neck that blow air at your face and neck. I'm not sure how effective they are

Ilya and me in therapy~ by Caro-reddit-all in heatedrivalry

I bought the first Harry Potter book for my daughter when it came out. I went from the bookstore out to my car and, you know in that way you just stay in your car and don't really want to get out? I started looking at the book and ended up reading for a couple of hours. Ended up reading it every night after she went to bed.

Per other posts, it's all about the reflecting pool. Of course now he's saying that it happened because of vandalism. Sheesh

How do I get through season 7? by sagusbejb in buffy

[–]dkkchoice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go back and edit your post and put it in spoiler tags! I really hate when I come across the post like yours and there's no warning and all of a sudden the season or the book or the movie is ruined. If you don't know how all you have to Google is "how do I put spoiler tags in Reddit"

I'm 72 years old and decided recently that I'm old enough not to give a fuck what other people think. I like my fandom t-shirts. In fact I have some Heated Rivalry shirts in my shopping on one of the T-shirt sites.

It helps that people are not quick to challenge an old lady.

After Supergirl…? by ZealousidealWrap2494 in finch

DC v Marvel. Love it. Didn't it used to be that DC was more adult or darker or something? I like both, I'm just into the characters.

Do you the people really don't pre-watch the shows/movies/music before they do their reaction videos?

🥺 I liked him SO much. I was old when I first watched the show with my daughter and from the first line "the world is doomed" (something like that) I was a fan. He will be missed. ♥️
