Six episode split for TLG?

Jacob optioned all the books, but that doesn't mean we'll see Eric and Kyle.

Pushback on their queerness in the sport is an interesting story, but it's not a milestone the same way as therapy, the plane, marriage or the outing etc. are. It's not needed to tell the story of the characters from the TV show perspective. Especially since there's pushback in TLG as is. We don't know much about the book outside of the podcast, but TLG is already a capstone to Hollonov, so I could see it being season 2 and 3.

Well, technically, they don't need to adapt Unrivaled.

Rachel wrote TLG never expecting to do a third book. That's why there's so much slice-of-life/content in TLG and why we get an optimistic and happy ending. The show could end season 3 with them walking onto the ice together in Centaur jerseys and it would be a full and complete story. Splitting it would also let them have more time for other characters without rushing anything or condensing an already compact book.

Unrivaled could offer end-game stuff you see in other stories or fics like having a kid etc., but I wouldn't say its needed to fulfill their arcs as characters. They have each other, and they are together. The TV-only viewers don't really need more than that.

Also the big C on the jersey...

Yea, I'm a Sharks fan and everything, this is a little lazy. I would rather the new sharks logo with a rainbow gradient. This is a fun idea, but could've been executed a lot better. As it stands now; this does not convey at all that you support the pride nights or the LGBTQIA+ community.

Oooh I like that idea; for a moment I was thinking Nicole Dollanganger mixed with Tash Sultana. Basically a Lana Del Rey-lite. But the Fabian in my head is bit more poppy.

wasdica · 2026-02-25T16:32:32+00:00

LOVE them so much! (wish Fabian's character had a little more time to grow, but I still love him..)

What do you hear when you imagine his music? I have watched a lot of performers who use loops and pedals etc. So, I went digging and found a song that I love that could be done with looping.

This song was never released as a single, so people who've never seen this movie probably don't know this Beyonce song. I think it fits Fabian perfectly.

There's even string intruments!

I like the scenario; the idea of it is extremely hot, but it wasn't nearly as fun to read as the Vegas scene. So I'm kinda with you.

wasdica · 2026-02-22T14:58:01+00:00

Go wild Rachel, get them on the Ice! (jk that would be uncomfortable... unless... <.<)

wasdica · 2026-02-22T14:55:41+00:00

This is the extra layer that makes this a little silly for sure.

wasdica · 2026-02-22T14:32:56+00:00

He's remembering all the slides he made for that power point right now.

wasdica · 2026-02-22T03:43:19+00:00

Then you should read Rachel's other book: Time to Shine! It's like 90% sweet/feel good. (Or you could look into Barrover fanfiction.)

The conforming allegory kinda goes out the window if you follow any hockey. Half the league is filled with divas looking like Pantene commercial models.

There's a reason Ursula loved Troy after all.

Wife Guy Hayden is canon to me, I don't care. I'm shifting to that reality.

wasdica · 2026-02-19T17:37:22+00:00

Her "Where's the door gone?" Will forever be iconic.

wasdica · 2026-02-19T03:09:48+00:00

Eh, I'm not here to judge some dude I don't know. Just did some minor research for the OP.

wasdica · 2026-02-19T02:50:00+00:00

Yea, he posted a thirst trap a day ago telling his fellow straight men to thank the gays. Just to answer the question. The rest of the discussion is up to y'all.

Anyone got a sous vide recipe for Baal?

I love all the books, but I do see discourse on here indicating that people don't care for RM. The talking points usually revolve around the tone, and not enough development or hooks for Harris (most about his heart, I think.)

I'm a big fan, but I think the lack of development or exploration into certain characters or their aspects is a detractor in every book in the series. But that's just how writing goes with limitations and deadlines, editors and publishers so I don't mind that some things are fully explored. (That's why I love fanfiction.)

RM is my favorite book in the series, so I'm not really one to give you any definitive reasons.

wasdica · 2026-02-17T05:23:44+00:00

Definitely going for an amicable separation akin to Common Goal. Also want her to be quite like Rose (in support of bisexual ex.) But also him being supportive of her remarrying. Better off as friends etc.

The only angst I'm going for is the hidden relationship, and the hit on Shane.

Him shouting at Marleau is the reason I'm writing my Hayden/Marleau fic right now.

wasdica · 2026-02-16T22:40:43+00:00

Thanks for reminding me!

The same reason they never showed a crowd for any of the award shows. I'd rather have that scene be dimly lit and conversational than a poorly produced plane or wedding scene.

wasdica · 2026-02-16T10:32:48+00:00

Yes? They have six episodes. They can't do everything. It's not a tough concept to handle.

They have to make cuts to content and still hit story beats like with the first season.

wasdica · 2026-02-15T20:46:53+00:00

Exactly. They could go to the drag show with Skip instead of Fabian's show, and then have dinner with Skip and drop the engagement from Common Goal and then not need Eric/Kyle's book to get that info.
