This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.

We invited our friend Monét X Change for a fin-tastically fun game we’re calling Shecosystems. We asked a series of questions to help determine which ocean ecosystem she’s most aligned with. Watch ‘til the end to find out whether she’s more kelp forest or deep sea. 🌿⚫

Connor and Hudson's off-the-charts chemistry (and the overall quality of the cast in general, which was incredibly high)

A tight, well-written script that IMO improved on the book in many ways (a rare thing for a book-to-screen adaptation)

A story in which the stakes were high and real and life-wrenching, and that knew how to build, maintain, and then break the tension

A willingness to break a lot of unspoken taboos and to depict relationships and sexual acts that, despite being choreographed to the nth degree, looked and felt real

Tierney's masterful direction that had a clear vision and executed on it WHILE ALSO trusting his cast and crew to make cool and interesting decisions; he didn't micromanage the set to death and it shows

It's not actually about the hockey! You could've plopped Shane and Ilya into another high-pressure, high-stakes environment and it still would've still eaten all our brains! (And like yes incidentally I got hockey-pilled but that's because I found a hockey pair with chemistry so compelling I couldn't believe it was real. The Heated Rivalry to willmack pipeline is real, y'all!)

We hated them. We didn't really clock the nationalist nature of the thing but we we hated being asked to stand in a big group and sing songs for nobody. It was boring and goofy. Thinking about it now, it really was just our teachers using us as fodder for a Mass Ritual to Prevent 9/11 from Happening Again.

Eventually, some kids developed a sort of game. The ceremony had all these little dramatic pauses between sections of a speech or in-between songs. Kids would wait for those little pauses and, right before the song started, just shout "NINE ELEVEN!" There was a voice for it to. You had to sound kinda like a Patrick Star or a similar exaggerated dunderhead type character.
