Heated Rivalry

[Clefable]

Anyone watching this on NowTV?

I may have binged

🥵🥵🥵🥵

Yes in Part 2 he does ;) but he also talks a lot about movies he likes and his plans to direct and write.

I watched one earlier where he described in detail putting on his cock sock. That was hilarious.

Seen this too! (Same interview, I think?) He says he and Connor bonded about how to put it on - Connor made it work right away, but he couldn't.

I've also seen another bit (again , possibly the same interview) where he talks about Connor's lower ab muscles being like a giant arrow pointing to his d!ck. At all costs, I tell you.

The Buzzfeed when they read thirst tweets is also most definitely worth a pop.

They are both a total joy. But I’ve seen them at a few events (online obs) and the attention must hugely overwhelming. The nature of their fame must feel wild to them.

They both have been picked up by CAA who represent huge stars so they will be getting looked after I guess. But it must be a mad ride for them.

I love when you see them at events being led off by the hand by their team. Got to stop them being mobbed or wandering lee!

”Ilya, Scott and Kip” sitting next to each other at front row of YSL tonight.

Connor Storrie next to Aaron Taylor Johnson, Sam Taylor Johnson and Kate Moss. What a ride for them all.

I’ve moved on to watching Fellow Travelers on paramount plus to try and break my addiction!

Fellow travelers broke my little heart.

I’ve watched the ‘I love you’ clip so many times I think I’m probably on some sort of list. Help me.

@Clefable we’re all on the list. We are all still at the cottage.

Among my people

i can’t imagine that’s a great night out. All day being styled then stuck in a fashion show. I would hate it. Just about the visibility I guess.

Be interesting to see where their careers go next.

I keep thinking that we will never get Connor and Hudson in this still unspoilt, slightly starstruck state again. They are becoming so huge. I like finding content from early on when the series came out and the whole thing was just beginning to explode.

And I want a t-shirt that says "(Hollander), you are having panic attack". I've already used that and "Is lie. Liar told you that." several times in my best Russian accent on my long-suffering family members.

And, again, props to those of you moving to Fellow Travelers from this. That show broke me completely. If I'd watched it after HR I'd be the one on a list.

I really, really hope the fandom don’t break them. There is a lot of chat about Connor and Francois and I can’t imagine the pressure they are under. I hope they can quickly get snapped up into more film projects to give them some time away from the intrusion. However, I also want to see all the pictures of them.

the behind the scenes of the photo shoot for hr is brilliant, so funny and the yearning acting is excellent.

And it has some excellent dance moves from Connor too.

Everyone is going to the cottage, but I'd love to stay in Las Vegas ;)

Fans self rapidly…

I’ve just read the extra scene on Rachel Reid’s website. I recommend.

Just bit the bullet and subscribed to Now to watch on the proper TV. Watching episode 1 again, it hadn't occurred to me that the coach telling Rozanov off for being distracted (looking at Shane) must be Sasha's dad off the grand Russian bathroom in episode 2.

Oh! I hadn’t made that connection either.

Have you seen the footage of Ilya skating in his underpants? I wonder if they'd planned to show this as Shane daydreaming/fantasising while he's watching Ilya skate from above and his mum is chewing his ear about wearing Reeboks, but they ended up cutting it out.

No… but I will find it.

Ooooooh that's a good theory!

It’s so worth a rewatch. For a small budget production it is really well done. The acting is so good. I have seen lots of fan analysis online and this really brought the push/pull of their relationship to the fore. They are really gone for each other but can only show it through sex. When one of them tries to get closer, the other pulls back. It’s cleverly done and the TV show takes the source material and develops it so well.

There's a cinematographer called Valentina Vee on Insta (a Russian living in LA, as it happens), who has done great breakdowns of the cinematography in the post-draft conversations scene, and the almighty gut-punching club scene. It's amazing - it really highlights the quality. And I now know what diegetic and non-diegetic is.

On another rewatch I was struck by Yuna's affectionate "since rookie season...!" after the "boyfriend?" bit in the final episode, and I wondered if it is meant to belie a little their vehement denials earlier that they'd been in love since then.

Ilya's response to "boyfriend?" - another joy.
