I’m so tired of the heated rivalry comparison

And i have nowhere else to complain about it. I’m sick of seeing people try to make everything about this show about Heated Rivalry. That two men can’t be touchy feely without it being subtext or queer baiting. Or it’s giving heated rivalry. It’s making me not like HR anymore. The fan base is toxic and i haven’t seen that with this fanbase yet. But o swear it’s bound to happen.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m an ally and an advocate for the queer community but that’s not a free pass to be a jerk about it. Not everything is as deep as they want it to be. Oh my god Stephen put his legs on Belmonts lap they’re queer baiting… please stop.

Living situations…

I was reading an article on Belmont and he mentioned having Friday night parties at the “Belmont house” and in other interviews Ella said she lived in the same apartment complex as Mika during filming. How do you guys think that works? They’re only there for a few months? Is there some kind of short term apartments where you lease by month? Are they fully furnished? How do you think they got to and from set? Rental cars? Idk why this BTS stuff fascinates me. But since they’ve brought it up multiple times in interviews, i wonder if they were just staying in long term hotels? Or are there like fully furnished apartments that you can rent for short terms? And do you think they will stay in the same places as they did this summer?

Looking for a vlog

Ella did a vlog while in New York where she went to Crumbl cookie and I’m looking for it. The only version i found has music playing over top and it was maybe just a small clip of the whole vlog. Does anyone know where i can find the actual whole vlog?

Every time someone criticizes Ella’s acting…

I just want to ask how she wasn’t a great actress. I saw one that said the entire series and not a tear to be seen. But I’m rewatching the episode when they break up and she calls her mom.

I just need clarity here. Not only is there tears streaming down her face when she’s yelling at Garrett, there’s tears when she’s sitting alone and sobbing. On the phone with her mom there’s tears. Not only tears but the silent sobs? And she does it all while keeping a convincing American accent. Idk what acting would have sufficed? But that acting from a freshly 18 year old is pretty insane.

Idk why everyone who has to hype up Mika has to do it by knocking Ella down? I’m not saying Mika wasn’t a good actress but Allie was in one mood the entire show. Ella’s character goes through the gamut of emotions. And she nails all of it.

Please someone make me see how Ella was underwhelming? Because all i saw was incredible acting from someone with very little experience before this. It’s her first adult role and the girl nailed it

Who do I need to contact?

I would give my life’s savings for that cover of Cherry Pie from Ella. She said it was pre-recorded… which means the recording exists and I’m not the only person who wants this. Why did it get left off the soundtrack?

BTS dumps this summer?

Do you guys think we will get more photo dumps from the cast while filming? Now that they actually have an audience or do you think they will close off even more and just keep us at arms length.

I loved Ella’s photo dumps and i would love to see more this summer during S2 filming. But i am afraid that the massive immediate rush of attention will make them all close up more and just post on a need to know basis (like if and when they do press stuff).

What do you guys think?

Belmont and Ella Carrie this show

Sorry. I’m going to say it. I’m on the 7th episode. So if you’ve seen it you understand. But from the very beginning they have more than carried this show. Especially Ella. To feel these strong emotions and to do it all while keeping an American accent is crazy.

I just want to leap in my screen and hug her. I appreciate the care and heart she put into this topic.

And then Belmont? The scene at the Jeep? The scene with his dad? The way he connected the dots… i know the rest of the characters are side and plot B storylines, but those two were perfect for Hannah and Garrett.

I’m just loving this show. I love this cast. I’m happy we have this show. I’m excited for season 2.

Something i was thinking about…

Idk about you guys, but i feel like this show is going to be emotionally harder than other shows. Because we have seen so much from the cast. We know their bond off screen is so strong and solid. Like especially Ella and Belmont. Their friendship off camera is so strong and so close that i feel like we are going to see some truth to their emotional scenes.

If you want to see some really good “this is our Hannah Wells” acting, go watch the final episode of Malory Towers. Ella’s acting in that show is so good. Her anger. Her happiness. Her sadness. There’s parts where she is talking as Darrell saying goodbye to other characters and you can hear the pull in her voice that you can’t replicate. This girl is about to destroy all of us. If an 11-16 year old girl in a kids show can make me an adult get teary eyed… yeah. We’re cooked.
