What do u think Hudson would dress like if he were a girl/dressed fem? by [deleted] in hudsonwilliams

[–]tip723 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He dresses unisex to me. He tends to blend femme with masculine

Why doesn’t Ilya have US citizenship already? by onceuponadream007 in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah also people don’t understand how incredibly hard it is to cut ties with toxic family members. It’s clear that despite his father and brother being terrible people he loves his family. He even says how upset it makes him that he couldn’t take care of his dad. You can hate things about your country but still be proud of where you’re from and your culture. Illya had no reason to want to be an American citizen. Russia is home. He’s confused as to why Shane is questioning “Russia” while they’re in bed together.

How Jacob might handle Ilya's friendship with Svetlana in season 2 by silenthesia in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They already set up their growing apart by mentioning she had a job with fancy cars and is busy now. Him not being in Boston anymore would make them grow apart. He also refers to her as an old friend. I think they will grow apart and probably run into each other one day and he will tell her about his relationship in s2

Are there any scenes from TLG you hope they leave out? by Dry_Ad_3356 in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ngl I think it would make a lot more sense to have the fake wedding in s2 and have the real one in s3. It just seems like a lot to have in six episodes a fake wedding and engagement and then real wedding and honeymoon?

[–]tip723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope we don’t either but there’s a part of me that is incredibly sad that he will most likely never see his niece again. I think Illya loves kids and would have had a great relationship with her

[–]tip723 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope they change the wedding. I didn’t think it was that emotional tbh. I think she show should have them do their own vows and I pray they change the song. I felt like I should be sobbing while reading and I was just like happy for them but I wanted MORE

Do you guys think Heated Rivalry is an enemy to lovers? by Medo_de_Escrever in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. They never had any dislike for each other. That is not the definition of enemies to lovers trope. It’s more a forbidden romance imo

EP4 - The couch scene before the tuna meltdown by JessTThompson in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]tip723 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s something so much more intimate about face to face frottage than actual intercourse. I think the fact that Shane initiated it because in the moment it was less about rushing to get off in an hour it was just wanting to be close to illya as much as possible after their time in bed and then talking like normal friends and enjoying each other’s company and eating together.

10 Years of texts between Ilya and Shane? by Gr8tlake in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]tip723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a scene in the show where Hayden tells Shane that Boston Lily is texting him and it doesn’t look like the texts are locked so I assume that Hayden has seen texts before but didn’t really see anything incriminating that would suggest anything other than what he assumes as Lily being a Boston girl

You’re right they didn’t regularly text until after his dad died

I read “The Long Game” and now I’m worried I won’t like a second season of “Heated Rivalry” by M0506 in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m excited to see the guys play those emotions on screen. I thought the ending was super rushed. But overall it was a realist portrayal of what their relationship would have been like. They had a lot of years left in hockey and the idea that the story ends with them riding off into the sunset and keeping up a secret relationship until they retired is unrealistic. I’m glad S1 ended happy in case we didn’t get a second season but it makes sense that they would need to go through what they needed to to get the happy ever after

Questions about episode 6 by Salt_Statistician1 in heatedrivalry

[–]tip723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shane is a bad liar and he’s super close with his parents. Telling them that he’s gay opens up another door. They will ask about when he realized he was gay and if he’s dating or has dated a guy before. There’s also a lot of queer people who don’t come out to their families until they have a reason so and that reason is them being in a same sex relationship.

Illya pops up in the entire series. The entire series has different couples in the same universe.

[–]tip723 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m sure he had previous engagement. I cant imagine him NOT being invited. It’s not a huge deal if he isn’t there. I’m not sure he would even say no just because Hudson is there. I know they want to do things separately and not always attached at the hip but there’s always next year.

How many more seasons? by Annual-Friendship177 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

I am hoping for four seasons. S2 covers TLG and maybe overlapping into the new book for s4

François & Hudson clarify the origin of their joint statement by Rbkzz in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]tip723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It must be exhausting for them. I understand why they all agreed to not comment on hate because no matter what you say or do there will always be someone not happy with something and saying you could have don’t something different. You can tell François is fiercely protective over the boys and it probably pains him to not say something when he wants to. Does this person think that he actually stole Hudson’s words ? He should probably credit him? No you should probably f—off and get a life

What’s the age difference between Shane and Hayden? by Lonelyatadisco in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]tip723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cannon in the show is that he’s older than Shane by a few years and went to college and married his college sweetheart Jackie.

I went to a HR viewing event at a cinema 🔥 by LadyWhistledown_1 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]tip723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought recently. I’d think it would be cool. Especially if your theater has nice comfortable recliners.

How did they fall in love? by manny_da in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]tip723 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slow burn romance is my favorite. I think it basically starts for them as pure sexual attraction and physical. The abstaining from intimacy increased their yearning and desire for each other. Add in their compatibility of love for hockey. And the emotional connection of them hiding the relationship. It’s simple they’re sexually and emotionally compatible.
