I was reluctant to watch this because it was getting so much hype and I'm usually wait to watch popular things, but I gave in and I was NOT ready my god.

50:54 as a fellow russian i would just say he’s more slavic than european and in many ways yes we are like him :)

also geographically russia is eurasia. we are both in europe and asia at the same time due to the size. but europe part is an eastern europe

the audio track is so crazy and i was at the premiere in toronto….watched it in loud on the big screen in a theatre with the cast and crew….the way it was silent in that room and i was gripping the arms of my chair the whole episode. also – at the start of the episode/book they’re both 17 years old but as you can see from the time skips, the show takes place over several years throughout their 20s. shane putting a suit on for his first gay hookup….folding his clothes….keeping his socks on…oh my shayla…..he is such a loser <3 fun fact as well: connor storrie (ilya) is from texas and didn’t know any russian until he learned for this role. if you watch any interviews with him he is a completely different man from ilya….it’s Crazy actually!!! this show/book series became my entire personality over the last couple months i'm so obsessed and so happy ur reacting to it hehe. like it made me make a whole new twt account that's how bad it got for me.

also it's been a constant thing being brought up online but the version of the show streaming on hbo is a lot darker than it's supposed to be, and in certain scenes it's hard to see much more than silhouettes (the rooftop kiss for example). if you try and find the Crave (original streaming source) versions of the episodes the lighting is much better. the user 'heatedrivalry69' on twitter has uploaded ep 1 & 2 of the crave versions on a google drive!

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP !!!! I haven't seen this show yet but just based on ep1, s a long time IRL hockey fan who literally flew from Australia to Texas of all places see the twink of all time (google "tyler seguin espn body issue" if ur interested lmao) I have loved this great gay game for many years and I cannot tell you how fulfilling and perfect this show is. The world of their "MLH" hockey feels so authentic to the experience of being a real NHL fan with a yaoi/shipper lens and it's just bringing me so much joy. The late nights in hotels which should feel alienating but they're on the road so much they almost become a strange, liminal home. The shared burden on young stars to become the greatest the fastest, which comes from different places (seemingly, Shane has always been the perfect child and now has that internal pressure to continue living up to this impossible ideal, whereas Ilya maybe seems like he has a more direct external pressure from his father?). But the pressure weighs the same regardless. And how hockey media very much love to eat their young, building up the budding ingenues at the draft and then giving them all of two seconds to adjust to the highest professional level of their sport before it becomes not just sink or swim, but swim the fastest anyone has ever swum or we'll shoot you dead in the water. The different expectations for North American players who are always expected to be in the infamous hockey robot mode ("how does it feel to be perfect? it feels fucking perfect") vs Russians who the sport love to laugh At but rarely With for their silly disjointed English and chaotic energy but never treat with any real respect despite their immense talent (not to mention the xenophobia that remains RAMPANT). The iconic "face off" media shot where two members of a government assigned ship skate up and breathe in each other's faces (not sure the NHL knows what it's promoting but AO3 certainly does). Flirting at the all star game, perhaps the only time players on different teams can spend time together publicly in a non-competitive setting, a classic !! The intimacy of having teammates in a sport where found family is a cornerstone of the culture, but if you're secretly LGBT+ then teammates can quickly start to feel like watchdogs and the normal rituals of loyalty and support ("my wife can make you dinner" = come to my house and let my wife feed you every single night. then we can drive u home. and pick u up and drive u to the rink every day. and help u file ur taxes. actually rookie maybe you should just move in with us? we will become your surrogate parents despite being just 4yrs older than you) - this is literally a tale as old as time in hockey lol but I can imagine this culture could become so smothering and dangerous if you were as bad at secrets as Shane lmao. Having said that my bestie needs to chill bc for such a homophobic sport, let me tell you intensely queer coded and homoerotic "friendships" are SO extremely normalised in hockey lol. Anyway sorry for the rant but I'm so locked in for this one already and cannot wait to see where it goes !!!!!!!!!

My prayers have been answered
