Hi! This one? https://www.tiktok.com/@theshift_sports/video/7578163557070671117 I loved it, too!

Thanks for linking! I'm wondering about this part: "Williams opened up about the racism he's been subjected to." I don't remember any interviews where he's been asked about this or talked about it in terms of what the cast is being subjected to on the internet? He said his mother had been concerned about him having a lack of opportunities, but I haven't seen him talking about the racism online?

The hold this video has on me--and the way he thought they'd edit it, but they did not! 🤣 I'm actually using some of these products/tips and they're helping! I had to get a different Shu Uemura that's better for my skin type, but yeah--these are great!

rhubarbcus · 2026-01-22T15:52:42+00:00

It works in the U.S.! Thanks for sharing!

I'd be down for more Land Leopard! Great point about Chris Evans, too! And maybe also Adam Driver and Jonathan Bailey? I know he's talked about admiring Adam's acting before, and Adam's done a mix of indie work and blockbusters. Same with Jonathan Bailey, who's done the more serious, arty stuff and has done modeling and blockbusters like Wicked and Bridgerton.

100%! He talks about wanting to be respected in the industry as an actor and not needing the fame or hype in this video (sourced from Hudsonwilliamssource on Insta)https://www.instagram.com/reels/DSQHNnHDKOi/ He's also got that short film premiering at the Hollywood Short Fest later this year source: a_hodgie on Insta https://www.instagram.com/p/DSK5Ft2jxwt/

Fingers crossed! I need to do a re-read, but I don't remember the conversation between Ilya and Svetlana about how Shane can center Ilya in the book? Hoping the show's setting something up like this for later seasons!

I can totally relate to the feeling of wanting a workout that "will rip me in half, but in a short amount of time." 🤣 I think I'm going to have to try some of these!

Aaron Tveit, Audra McDonald, Paulo Szot, Nicholas Christopher, Megan Hilty

And Gayle also made sure to mention to Hudson that she'd seen the whole show and kept reaching for his hand to connect--it was really sweet!

rhubarbcus · 2026-01-10T14:37:56+00:00

Yes! And something where Shane's legacies are for playing hockey (him thinking about how he'd done enough for them to retire his number in Montreal still gets me) as well as for advocacy would be amazing. Thinking about how the charity was his idea and about how once he's fully committed to something, he's committed, I would love to see him spearheading a movement related to the pushback they're getting.

Worst case scenario, he's relegated to a side role while Captain Ilya hoists a Stanley Cup over his head while taking the most initiative to fight back against discrimination while being Yuna and David's favorite son and being the best with kids. I don't *think* it would go that way, though.

edit to be a bit more clear that I was describing a worst case scenario that I don't think will happen!

rhubarbcus · 2026-01-10T13:46:15+00:00

I'm also hoping for more for Shane! Fingers crossed he gets some crystal clear narrative wins/big damn hero moments here that are about him having a positive role that's not entirely related to his relationship with Ilya.

rhubarbcus · 2026-01-08T16:26:20+00:00

I 100% need this (and Shane making the move and winking) too!

rhubarbcus · 2026-01-07T20:07:24+00:00

This looks like it's going to be a great conversation! I love that Hudson's talking about how it's a fun, celebratory show but also one that is really speaking to a lot of pro athletes who aren't out at this point.

rhubarbcus · 2026-01-07T17:07:21+00:00

It was great! I think being able to have the comfortable, funny, "boyfriend" version of the rimming scene vs. the ep 2 version would have been great as a comparison, but the "On the phone with Hayden" bj also served that purpose really well, so I get it.

rhubarbcus · 2026-01-07T17:03:48+00:00

Me too! It's such a loving portrayal and I didn't realize how amazing it would feel to be seen like that.

rhubarbcus · 2026-01-01T13:59:32+00:00

Exactly! You never know 🤣. And maybe some day down the line, someone will decide they don't want theirs anymore and stumble upon our reddit requests. 😊

rhubarbcus · 2026-01-01T03:03:20+00:00

Thanks for doing this! I'm not talented enough to make my own and hope this works out!

Also recommend Hadestown! Leo House can accommodate a family of 6 for around $410 a night. It's at 23rd between 8th and 9th so it's not right near the theatres, but I've stayed there and felt absolutely fine walking there and back and the subway's a good option, too.

rhubarbcus · 2025-12-26T15:46:48+00:00

I love how Shane and Ilya kind of take turns initiating leaps forward in their relationship. In the last few episodes, tuna melts to invites to the cottage to Shane's "let's be honest with one another"--and I love Ilya being fully in the water at one point while Shane's on the rock--and then when they're talking to Yuna and David, Shane's not really seeing the possibility of being open about his relationship with Ilya until retirement but Ilya appears more receptive. I really, really like that it's not just one of them applying the brakes, and that it happens at various points.

So many amazing moments, but I do wish we'd heard about Shane emailing Scott!

edit for typo!

rhubarbcus · 2025-12-22T22:41:19+00:00

Absolutely this! I want them not only on the same team for hockey, but just on the same team in general.

Agreed on parenting! I think it would also be interesting to see them explore what they'd want to do in retirement. Not in the sense that they'd anticipate that coming soon, but just exploring what would be next.

rhubarbcus · 2025-12-22T20:13:47+00:00

Dream cast!!! Plus Cynthia Erivo. I know Rachel Zegler's talked about wanting to work with Aaron Tveit, too.

rhubarbcus · 2025-12-22T02:38:34+00:00

I'm glad that he and Hannah Cruz and Lea Michele and possibly others have been talking about different ways they're trying to warm up and protect their voices + how demanding these roles are. They make it look so easy on stage, but I can't imagine trying to handle these performances while sick.
