heated rivalry show you will always be famous. budget so low the sex was explicit and the hockey was implied

what’s particularly notable to me about some of the discourse around this interview is that taylor’s astute observations about surviving the industry and being chewed up and spit out by the hollywood machine have gone completely undiscussed even by fans

ever since i was a little girl i knew i was doomed to take things too seriously and think about them forever

has taylor swift ever thought of designing her own escape rooms

Ilya getting to be the supportive older brother he never had with Andrei/Alexei to Troy Barrett. He sees parts of himself in Troy. Dealing with an abusive father, his desire to self isolate and self hatred and thinking he doesn’t deserve better. He is actively struggling with his own issues but he sees Troy who’s 5-6 years younger than him also dealing with problems that stem from being queer in this super conservative space and closeted. And he shows him what it’s like to have someone older show you that it’s okay and you can come to them. When Ilya comes out to Troy and teases him about his huge crush on Harris, he shows Troy for the first time that he’s safe to be himself. It’s this olive branch that helps Troy become more confident, choose happiness, and lean more into his activism. And that also helps Ilya to see the impact he can have on others (I can’t believe he thought he was a shitty captain 😭). And of course Ilya is happy that Troy knows he’s supported and can come out and be safe and protected on this team, but he so badly wants that too and didn’t think he’d ever get there. He felt happy for Troy when he came out to a cheering crowd at Pride night but he mourns that he never got that for himself. That doesn’t stop him from wanting that for Troy.

i wish troy barrett’s complexity got more hype. he really shows the toxicity in hockey culture, but also just how society views men. he stands up against the culture and gets shamed. but then is also seen as a hero for doing the bare minimum. troy knows he is not a hero, he is just a guy trying to do better. but both sides get so intense. there is no inbetween. they force him into a box of being a villain or a hero, when in reality he’s neither. he is just a man on a path of self betterment.

jacob tierney talking about how damaged troy is yayyyyy that’s my miserable boy can’t wait to see him on screen #mymiserabletroy
