This is the one I can’t get out of my head 🥵

So my brain did a thing and made this.

Found from Facebook: heated rivalry fandom

Unfortunately the polls on reddit allow only six choices, so I made a strawpoll with all the performances. Enjoy and discuss : )

Their wedding and them dressing like in the book

I was always curious in this part, why is Shane asking if he used google translate or say it doesn't make sense? I do get there is a double entre with the word "come" but it would still make sense, no? I mean if it were to people not with that kind of relationship it could be understood that is to go somewhere? Is it just that is not propper grammar? Or am I just butchering the language myself? Would I also be insinuating something else right away if I said to my friend want to come? 🤣

Gimme ALL the special features!! Deleted scenes? Blooper reels? I'm salivating!

People have pointed out that François's name is misspelled on the back cover, so hopefully they fix that before release.

Is it odd that only US stores seem to have it for preorder? Yes, yes it does seem odd. I did a bit of research and it would appear that the distributor, Alliance Home Entertainment, holds the North American physical media rights, but the immediate rollout was heavily prioritized through U.S. retail channels, so that's why Amazon US and Walmart were the first to have stock listings. Alliance confirmed it by posting to their IG Stories back when the listing first appeared on Amazon.

Edit: Now confirmed by the HR global account, with preorders being available in the US and Canada: https://www.instagram.com/p/DcLq-dSkSUm/?igsh=Mm9tNzRwbWt4ODJs

Saint Laurent scored big with him!!!! Stunning

Does anyone have any HR tattoos? I’m thinking of getting something small- probably the candy hearts with Ilya &Shane’s names but I wonder what different ideas are out there…

Edit: I agree with the sentiments about “sex sells” tattoo. I’d never consider that one because it’s a Connor & Hudson personal thing. Maybe I should have circled the ones I’m actually interested in, my bad.

I noticed during a reheat that in Season 1 Episode 5, there seems to be some type of milky liquid on Shane’s chest… and I do not think it’s sweat. If it’s what I think it is 👀, then the attention to detail on this show is INSANE 🤭. They really thought of every little detail in this show which I absolutely love.

This made me laugh when I got the notification so I figured I'd share, I haven't seen anyone else post it yet.

And obviously that really sucks for Dylan Walsh and I don't wish him any bad vibes because it was probably a mistake but like... it's like life reflecting art right?

Just finished reading RM and then almost finished CG, I just love how much Ilya involved with those two books, all the conversations that he had with Troy and Eric were fascinating to me, love he’s dry sense of humour， and basically how ruthless and sweet he is, just can’t get enough of him!! Spoiler alert, here it’s my favourite bits from the book common goals.

( ps: I haven’t read the TLG yet, I know things are a bit rocky for Ilya, but pls don’t spoil it, I am saving it before the season 2 starts🫶🏼)
