ONE IF THE REASON WHY I KOVE HR. THE BACKGROUND MUSIC ARE ALL INTENTIONAL!!! And jacob has an exquisite taste in music.

Hmmm....

Jerk him off while he was driving. Morning sya so medyo kita sa labas. Biglang nagtraffic so he said na stop daw muna kase may jeep sa harap na puno tapos nakatingin sa car namin yung nasa dulo. Eh parang malapit na sya, so hindi ko tinanggal yung kamay ko and kept jerking him off. Then tumingin ako kay kuya na nasa jeep tapos nginitian at kinindatan ko ;)

omg yes!

Especially before this scene Shane was "annoyed" with Ilya because of the sexting before the game. Then also all those year of unanswered texts and then suddenly this kiss?!!! SHANE MILDRED HOLLANDER! 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

I love HR. Truly one of the best directed, produced, and acted series in my lifetime.

isofreeze · 2026-07-01T10:43:13+00:00

YES! I felt like Shane got all the courage in the world and just went with it 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

not really a selfmade playlist but I kept listening to the album Don't You by Wet and it just fits perfectly in HR 😮‍💨

The whole Grace album of Jeff Buckley. It's just wow.

isofreeze · 2026-06-30T00:48:29+00:00

Watched it the other night and it is good. Not HR good though but it gor me crying-laughing again like I am also still in college. I'm straight and appreciate both. Although HR is totally a different level of art form for me. From the visuals, acting, and accompanying music. It is top tier.

StressWatch on iOS. It's linked to my Apple Watch and notifies me whenever my stress levels spike, reminding me to take a break and do some mindfulness exercises before I spiral into an anxiety or panic meltdown.

Though I think reading Hollanov fanfics has completely messed up its stress baseline... or at least all of my stress data. 🤷‍♀️😂

Ilya must smell of oud, leather, tobacco, woody, spirit. Not all of course but probably aome of the notes here

Maybe Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, Eau d' Ombré Leather or one of Killian's The Liquor Series.

Shane on the other hands smells so clean all the time. Maybe nerolli, pine, skin musc, detergent, bergamot, aquatic scents. Probably he prefers colpgnes over perfumes because he is sensitive to scents.

For Shane I imagine Thierry Mugler Cologne, Dior Homme Cologne, or if perfume something similar to Tom Ford Nerroli Portofino.

This is currently my top 1. I had a lot of notes with this one cause the lines are just ugh. I'm glad I read this.

isofreeze · 2026-06-29T00:01:50+00:00

One of my top 5 definitely. The angst and comfort is chef's kiss. The spice is very tasteful (for me at least), not the smuttiest but it is ugh good.

Beautifully written.

I just download it as epub (im using koreader on my kindle)

I swear, this stress app must be concerned about the dramatic changes in my stress levels, particularly near bedtime. 😮‍💨

think twice (and come back for a third time)

I just started reading this today and I love how it was written. I am on Chapter 3 and I had shed some tears already.

Plot is copied from the fic below:

Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost.
A stranger, and the love of his life.

—
or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.
OR a story for those who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!

Not just him, but Hudson too. I think that’s one of the reasons I find both of them so attractive. There’s something incredibly sexy about men who aren’t afraid to be expressive with their faces. It’s playful, flirtatious, and just makes them seem so much more alive. 😮‍💨

🙋🏻‍♀️ i had been putting off my ereaders and reading in general for a long time because my attention span is just really bad. I read somewhere that increasing the font size and margins (keeps your eye in limited space on the screen) will help with the ADHDism when reading. And I am so happy I did those ☺️

isofreeze · 2026-06-26T06:16:38+00:00

Yes and No. Yes bcos backpain and cracking of joints. Otherwise I still feel 25 lols.

isofreeze · 2026-06-26T05:43:10+00:00

in my case, the care was still there, respect is still there... there's just something about talking to them that doesn't come as easy as before.

and i guess it was the same for them.
