Connor on SNL

Connor Storrie hosted season 51, episode 13 of SNL! Someone over at gamechangerhr posted the playlist of the whole episode. I think he did a great job, plenty of laughs and silliness to go around. They brought out Knight and Keller from the USA women's hockey team during the monologue! I know the US has very little to celebrate right now but at least we got women's hockey and Alysa Liu. Very proud that Knight and Keller got such applause and that the Hughes brothers took the deserved jokes well enough.

The funniest sketch wasn't even in the episode though! Here it is, with a Rozanov mention :D

Very cute how they included Hudson in the ice skating sketch. And the stripper sketch was also hilarious even though morbid and NSFW.

Consent in Ep 1 and 2 of Heated Rivalry

For the marchmetamatterschallenge I'd like to do four meta posts this month and cross-post them to comms and/or Tumblr. This one is about consent in the first two episodes of Heated Rivalry!

In our current internet culture, it seems like there is plenty of purity wank to go around. ( This is based on the show only as I haven't read the books )

OF COURSE Sex scenes can just be enjoyed for what they are, and shouldn't have to be justified. But I'm really grateful the show did not shy away from depicting sex in this way. It's essential for us to see the entire sex scene to understand Shane and Ilya's points of view in these intimate moments.

The TLDR; is that consent is not always black and white and requires good judgment.
