@vetsoapfan some amazing posts you’ve written in the last couple of days - thank you so much! Firstly, I’ve preordered Unrivaled and cannot wait to see what other trials and tribulations are coming Shane and Ilya’s way - they are likely my most loved fictional couple ever at this rate! Secondly, it’s funny that you talk about the different types of attraction - I was talking about this very thing with my therapist a few hours ago, and he was talking about the difference between physical attraction and intellectual attraction - the latter is very much what you described above with noticing the other attributes of that person. More often than not, they tend to be attributes that you hold yourself, and finding other people like that is akin to finding members of your “tribe”, in a manner of speaking. Relationship dynamics is a fascinating thing, and it’s probably one of the things that attracted me to soaps in the first place!

@ranger1rg I just watched the Empty Netters do a live reaction stream for the final episode - I have never seen a bunch of straight men go so completely and chaotically crazy over a LGBT show in my entire life!

Also this one of Hudson’s skincare routine - chaotic but utterly mesmerising at the same time…

Only a few hours to go until the last episode of the season gets released. Who’s all packed for the cottage? 🖐🏼

Everybody needs a Scott Hunter in their lives… 🥰🫠

Duuuuude… you’ll probably end up watching it multiple times! 😂 Seriously though, get to watching it ASAP - your soul will be nourished!

Btw, links to the book series on which Heated Rivalry is based (Game Changers by Rachel Reid). I’ve read all six and couldn’t put any of them down! I had to go the eBook route because so many bookstores have run out of hard copies and have to wait weeks for new stock to come in (I even checked in a bookstore in Antwerp a couple of days ago with some friends and there’s even been demand for it there!!!).

ADD brain here also, and it has been overloaded and overfilled with Heated Rivalry for the last couple of weeks! So so much I want to regurgitate…

Empty Netters is f***in hilarious! I cannot stop laughing 🤣

I’ve started watching What Chaos, and it is so surreal watching an actual hockey podcast discussing a queer romance show in such an intelligent and enlightening way! ❤️

François Arnaud who plays Scott also played Sebastien Raine, David’s photographer ex-bf, on Schitt’s Creek. Without giving anything away, Episode 5 of Heated Rivalry is up there with the best episodes of TV drama ever. Jacob Tierney the producer of the show is an absolute genius - the show is not just “smut”, but actual queer romance, and it has been adapted from the book so well.

“You suck at sexting” 😂

Be still my beating heart - I can’t with these two 🫠

If only someone would smile at me with such joy as Ilya Rozanov smiles at Shane Hollander… ❤️🫠

Ok I might have embellished just a tiny bit, but to be fair, social media had been in a total meltdown on this for a few weeks now, and I thought it would already be a hot topic here! But alas only a few mentions on the What Are You Streamin/Watching thread - I was shocked that no one had created a thread for it here, so I took the proverbial plunge! I also think this is the best queer TV show ever made - I’ve not had a show sink so deep into my veins ever. @All My Shadows - you’ve also been watching this, haven’t you??
