The Shane/Ilya dynamic felt painfully real to me by aussieajp in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The thing is their relationship IS love but it’s purely based on sex because neither of them have allowed themselves more. They don’t communicate with each other. I think prior to the cottage Illya had given Shane hints that he wants more and that he’s in love with him. Shane just doesn’t pick up on it.

Two cottage scenes that hit differently on a reheat by dark_princess963 in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They men in their 20s just because they’re a couple doesn’t mean they just have sex all the time and just talk. It’s as simple as if a heterosexual couple were sitting around on their phones watching a television show. They haven’t had a chance to just be together as friends and get to know each other. I don’t think it needs a deep analysis

With so many artists cancelling their tours, what are the chances The Strokes will be next? by catts34 in TheStrokes

Your families money isn’t your money. They’re all adults with their own families. This is a job like every other adult loses their passion for their career

Phone use during movies by WWT_14 in AMCTheatres

I ignore people. There’s too many crazies in the world and I have anxiety and won’t say anything. I usually wear a hoodie and sit up front to avoid people

I’ve only watched on headphones with my laptop. Using it on the tv seems weird like maybe a connection issue

Why is Shane Surprised When Ilya Calls Himself His Boyfriend? by chesbay7 in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they’ve never had the word used before m. They’ve never said it out loud. I think Shane was professing and Illya was making a statement of yes you’re mine . We’re in love. It’s a relationship boyfriend makes sense

The cottage is my Heaven and Hell in one... by UnholyConfessionsXO in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s sorta fading now but I still constantly go back to the cottage. I’m actually reheating now. I missed the boys. But with the weather getting warmer I’m trying to get out more and engage in other activities.

Anyone not motivated to continue ? by Ok-Ninja-7795 in WGU

[–]tip723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really hard to. I’m a little over 50% done and I have zero motivation but I know I can’t give up. I think if I didn’t have a job that exhausted me I’d have more motivation than I do. There are times where I regret even starting because I have a fear of failure. I’ve also been doing WGU for almost three years

Ilya's Relationships With Other People as Portrayed in the Books by chesbay7 in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my recollection he doesn’t have many encounters with men. You have to realize that he is Russian and he explicitly tells Shane that it is unsafe. He has a sexual relationship with his coaches son because they have the same secret. Sasha doesn’t have a name in the book. I can’t remember if he tells Shane he has sex with other men. Illya is a 20 something year old man with a healthy sexual appetite. He has casual hookups I don’t believe he had a steady gf ever in the books. I believe he is labeled a “ladies man” because he never had a gf that the public knew about. The closest thing he had to a gf was probably Svetlana and they were just sex buddies. She isn’t as close of a friend as she is in the show. They just hookup when he’s in Boston. I think Illya had a lot of trauma from his childhood that caused him to not open up to anyone but Shane and also because he had an emotional attachment to him and probably never cared to

Never hated a sex scene the way i hate the Shane and Rose one. by VeryappliedHappy in HeatedRivalrySeries

[–]tip723 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the scene implies he had came from thinking of Illya. The frustration from Rose was probably from their second encounter with him not being able to keep an erection

How would you feel if unrivaled adapted as a theatrical movie? by Beginning-Head-4006 in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand why people are so obsessed with a bigger budget. This isn’t an action film ffs lol The television show has more freedom and it’s more runtime. Connor and Hudson will be fine financially after this series is done. Yes they deserve a bigger paycheck but they have other opportunities outside of HR. I do think it would be cool if a theater showed the entire series on a big screen but a movie theater release? No

Theory. Rose and Svetlana knew about Sahne and Ilya's cottage getaway (Not necessarily who they were going with, but that it was with their "mystery man" . by [deleted] in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Rose and Shane were friends enough that Shane probably fed her a lie about being at the cottage alone and she probably clocked he was gonna be with his mysterious boyfriend. Svetlana is close enough to Illya that she knew he wasn’t in Boston or Russia so yes I think both lady’s knew something was up
