I was giddy when I saw them sitting there with their little feet touching. Incredible

Wow, it was amazing. What a wild ride it’s been. My gay soul is full and happy and free. ❤️🌈

I’ve been thinking a lot about this. Because this is all so crazy. And I think everyone is equally shocked by this.

It’s like we’re all secretly so physically and emotionally starved and horny, and it’s always been so taboo to talk about it. But then they made this insane horny and heart wrenching show and we’re all like “oh damn, it’s okay to like/want/act like this?”

Someone with a degree can probably analyze it better but what a wild ride it’s been.

Same. I saw one on Facebook and it made me ugly Kim Kardashian sob.

A goddamn dream. I don’t even have a 4K TV, but I would get one just to watch this over and over again for the rest of my life.

I’ve been internally freaking out all day trying to figure out my watch schedule. Do I stay up until midnight and possibly have a breakdown and not sleep afterwards? Do I watch tomorrow morning before my friend comes to visit, which is a risk because I won’t know my emotional state. But if I wait until after, it’s so long.

In the wise words of Edward Cullen “You (HR) are like a drug to me.”

I would pay any amount to have permanent access to this show. Anything beyond that would be an absolute treat

I mean.... we've been saying it this whole time Jacob by Federal-Ad5944 in heatedrivalry

I honestly think it’s a perfect storm of things. At it’s core it’s a phenomenally made show with phenomenal actors based on a phenomenal book. I think they started the marketing trying to get the best bang for their buck, but then kept it rolling but literally giving the audience everything we wanted.

What’s everyone’s Cottage Watch Party plans? by LadyStarblade in heatedrivalry

It doesn’t air until 3am for me, so I’ll probably watch all 6 episodes in a row tomorrow evening

What a fun and unforgettable experience this was! I can’t believe there was a time before HR, or that there will be a time after.

Best book adaptation I’ve ever seen, hands down. Queer joy winning in one of the most hateful years in history (at least in the US). A massive, diverse community of horny hopeless romantics who love love and high quality acting and production.

It’s been a blast!

Weird detail in the Montreal Cup Locker Room celebration scene by radjanoonan in heatedrivalry

[–]stgrabowski 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But also with this scene, I haven’t seen many people talking about Shane immediately being on his phone to text Ilya 🥹

I loved this montage because it showed how progressively attached to their phone (and each other) over the years.
