I hope it's happy tears (as mine were)
Entre esto, y que el discurso/crítica que estoy viendo en los medios es que "no representa la experiencia gay de forma verosímil" (no me jodas, Mariloli! que está basado en una novela romántica, no es cinema-verité), francamente, lo encuentro un poco frustrante.
Oooh, yes, seconded! I still have to listen to the last one, but I've enjoyed their takes very much indeed!
Madredelamorhermoso.
Aaand I forgot what I really wanted to say: my friends who have watched and are not romance-oriented got into it somewhere between eps. 2 and 3. I'd say keep going a little bit, but if it's not for you, it's not for you 🤷🏻♀️
I think most of the buzz is not because the storyline is particularly original (it's a romance, after all, and romance stories have beats they need to follow) but the way it's told. I got hooked because of the cinematography, the acting, the emotion in the sex scenes and the sexy, sexy consent...
I'm over there too, but it stresses me out! I'm too mellow for that style of social media...
I'm dying of curiosity, but the blind approach worked so well for me with Heated Rivalry that I hesitate to read it...
Bonus shoutout to @uhbucky.bsky.social 🫶🏻
It touches on a lot of aspects of the filming process that really highlight how they made the best of what they had to work with, in such a rushed filming schedule and such a tight budget.
“There’s only really one way you can approach a low-budget project, which is to just play to your strengths.”
Ever since I first watched #HeatedRivalry, I was struck by how beautiful it looked.
@its-nice-that.bsky.social has a thorough, insightful interview with Jackson Parrell, HR cinematographer. I'd only seen a few snippets about his work, and I am loving it to bits!

And he was so relaxed and into it at the end! That was a lovely bit of characterization.
The little happy shimmy he does lives rent-free in my head.
If there's no conflict, where's the emotionally satisfying resolution?
And it's only been 2 months.
How it started: me heading happily to AO3, sure I'd find tons of #Hollanov fics to tide me over until 2027.
How it's going: 2 months, 29 bookmarks, because I'm stupidly particular, & 14 subscriptions to WIPs, of which 7 have no estimated chapter nr., just "?"
And a full-site crash in the meantime.
And now it works again? My nerves can't take much more of this!
If you move to Barcelona, I can show you around.
Wooo, Jackson Parrell mention!
I'm loving all the recognition that the behind-the-camera crew are getting.
Here's hoping it's happy tears! Happy birthday!
It's back!
I don't usually download fics to my reader, but for some reason, I did last week, so at least I have something to tide me over while I wait for my subscriptions to update 😭
This is not conducive to any productive work.
Average Monday, until I saw the Connor video you've posted! 🥰
How's yours?
Popping in during my sandwich break, just to let you know that I enjoy your posts!
Hello!
I did not expect to get an emotional high like this on a lazy Sunday morning.
What do I do with my life now?

It seems there's another sketch that was cut for time that also had Hudson, I hope it makes it to YouTube eventually!
Yessss! I was waiting for it to be completed, the part I read was so good!
