ryanreactsSigh, yes, once again I approach the end of My Weekend.
As much as I wanted to stay in my room (drinking wine and eating snacks and watching Heated Rivalry), part of my brain did point out that I really will sleep better tonight, and therefore have an easier time waking up early tomorrow and getting through my entire shift, if I go to the EDR and eat something substantial.
So I did, and I'm very glad I did! They had many good options and I ate a whole plate, but the highlight was one of the desserts: Rice Krispies Treats! I took three little squares, and they were so goddamn fucking good.
Anyway, now that I'm fed and showered and don't need to do any laundry right now, I am gonna spend the rest of the night watching the last three episodes of Heated Rivalry. Sometime soon I will Need To type up some recaps for all six episodes, because I love this story so much that I feel like I have to document exactly how much I personally love every little moment.
I'm not sure, but the last time I stumbled upon a totally new story that blew my mind and got me obsessed with it this much this fast . . . yeah, I think the last time was probably Yellowjackets (which makes it pretty funny that these shows share two actors!), which was, hmmm, approximately a few months less than three years ago?
So yeah, quite a while since the last time I fell in love with a story like this. Except, was it ever like this? I'm always looking for queer characters everywhere, and sometimes they actually show up in canon, but with Heated Rivalry the entire story is SO goddamn gay! It's literally just a Romance between two very attractive men.
Part of my brain has been compiling a list of my favorite fictional couples so that I can think about them and take some time and honestly ask myself, "Do I seriously like them even more than Shane and Ilya?" (For example, even though it has been less than one entire week since I started watching the show, I really think I do like Shane and Ilya even more than Luke and Lorelai, who have been one of my favorite couples EVER for decades.)
This is completely normal fan behavior, and no one can tell me it isn't.
