rachel didn’t want to write a coming out scene for shane, didn’t explore the ed, said he has no trauma, experienced no racism in a yt sport, made him look like the villain in almost all situations bc she failed to explain his side, now regrets saying he has autism?
you guys really need to realize that heated rivalry isn’t some revolutionary book tackling big topics, it’s a smutty romance about two guys 😭😭 please stop trying to make it something it’s not
I think rr is sarcastic and hyperbolic, I think shes out of her depth with the character she created, I think her books are fun and lovely and mean a lot to a lot of people, I think she can be careless with her comments, I think the fandom always seeks a villain. ✨️nuance✨️.
girl whatever
i already know people will jump in saying we can’t question author intent. she can 'envision' the characters however she likes but that doesn’t override how the text actually lands. hope people defending rachel know what 'death of the author' means
“hudson is chronically online and he needs to stop” bc he saw the messages he received from closeted athletes. “ i don't really have time to look at all the dms” BUT he has time to see shippers' edits with barely 7 views
Did Rachel Reid anticipate fan criticism of Shane while writing 'The Long Game'? “I remember telling my agent early on, when I was writing The Long Game, I was like, ‘So, Shane’s a little bit selfish in this book, or he’s a little bit self-centered, a little bit unaware. And my agent was like, ‘No, he’s not.’ I was like, ‘No, no. It’s not that he is [selfish], it’s just that he does it without meaning to be.'” “He needs things spelled out for him, and Ilya is not spelling them out. And it was a lot of miscommunication. I wasn’t too surprised that people didn’t like Shane’s behavior in the book, but it was kind of necessary for the story. He had to have an arc where he figures out what he’s doing wrong and fixes it. But I did it out of love.” 🔗: swooon.com/1277458/heated…
