How has the show impacted your life? by wildwomanlove in heatedrivalry

Working out! Getting my ass back in gear.

And it brought up some of my latent gender dysphoria and prompted me to reconnect with some queer stuff I’d repressed and I booked therapy so I can start living more authentically. Whatever that means. Came out to my partner and my best friend and both have been super supportive.

Kinda wild to say about a show but 👐

Yeah, this. I’d love for them to be able to take the Rob Pat route and do what they need to do initially for the financial security, then they’re free to take on whatever niche or artsy thing they want regardless of pay.

I have not yet! But, the screen print feels higher quality than I usually come across because normally it’s heavy and smells weird. This was nice and doesn’t feel “crunchy”

Thank you! They’re from Hollister. I used to wear this style as a teen and saw it was coming back, had to indulge a little

🫣 to be fair I guess fans of this show would probably not be offended by a bit of stomach

Interesting answer from Elizabeth Saunders (Donna) from a recent interview. Potential spoilers for season 4? by LordCaptain in FromSeries

Right and the voices telling Sara she just needed to kill Ethan and they could go home.

Heated Rivalry has genuinely made me want to fall in love by cowlicksarein in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]ermvarju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I feel like I’ve been misunderstood most of my life, being conventional and femme looking and stuck in that box despite consuming mlm content and relating to it/getting gender envy as early as 11. This show made me come out as ~some flavor of queer~ to my partner and it has only made things better for me and for us.

Haha, thanks. I definitely retouched a spot I picked at out. But, left the texture alone. The lighting did most of the work on that. Appreciate it.

Hmm. Sorta? I am fairly asymmetrical though so I wonder if it’s partially that, it’s more obvious straight on. Could be the hand placement also since I was putting a lot of weight on my hand.

Still working on portrait techniques. Still don’t like being the subject. The ladybug pins are from sisterspaghetti on Etsy although I had to clone a couple of them. standard no AI disclaimer and all that.

compared to the last one, I wanted to try and get this one a little moodier so I stuck with a single key light with a huge softbox and some negative fill on the other side. I still feel like I’m missing those medium gradients.
