My unpopular: Hollanov doesn't happen because of Scott Hunter but because of a kiss. It is not who Scott is that "saves" Hollanov but an action he does Rachel could have had Cliff/JJ/Carter whoever could have kissed in the middle of that and you would have had the same result!
shane hollander’s existence being a white woman not knowing how to write an asian character brought to tv life by a white man who was advised by a white woman who also doesn’t know how to write an asian character 😭
@hudium That's not even the worst part💀 I couldn't believe my eyes when I read this excerpt (from reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks…)
Jacob Tierney talks about “boring” and “fuck you” meaning “I love you” for Shane and Ilya. 'A really good friend of mine—a person who reads my scripts who's a brilliant novelist named Rainbow Rowell—she read the first episode and she said to me… “just remember that every ‘fuck you’ is ‘I love you,’ and maybe you're saying ‘fuck you’ too many times.” And I was like oh, that's such a good call. That's a great call. Because it was just a reminder of all of the things they say to each other that are not ‘I love you’ and that are not— Boring, you know, when Ilya calls Shane boring, he's saying he's in love with him. And he's not boring, [Ilya] is endlessly fascinated by Shane. And the only way he can communicate that is by making fun of him and calling him boring, because anything else would rip his soul out through his face. Like that's the idea, and so even the words we use to obfuscate matter, you know?' (via live Q&A with Stage 32 on March 24, 2026) instagram.com/p/DWP-jdfgG8l/
what is a detail in heated rivalry you don't think the fandom talks about enough?
