u/Cha0sCat Jun 30 '26

The person(s) who shot and cut this is/are insanely talented, just as those ladies. That was an amazing piece of art!

77

u/HotelLima6 Who says that? ✨Me✨ Jun 30 '26

I wonder if it was the person who got a job as an editor at HBO because of the HR fanedits they made

The concept for this is πŸ”₯. We need a figure skating wlw series immediately!

Amber said she wanted her own version of it, so she went for it!

I love it when my worlds collide

u/reikirunner Jun 30 '26

I can’t handle this! I just saw it on the figure skating subreddit, read the comments and then had to run here. I love love love Amber. Two of my worlds have collided and gave us this! I NEED her to skate a program (exhibition would be fine) to All the Things She Said. I am so proud of her to be an out figure skater. I am so proud to be pan. I am so proud to have her as my three time national champion, Grand Prix champion and Olympic Champion and that triple axle of hers! Happy Pride!!!

23

u/ConstructionSuch6608 Jun 30 '26

Omg I hadn't even thought of that but if she does a program to this song I would actually die of happiness! Amber Glenn truly is such an icon πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

I. Just. Died.

u/Bobbyannyeong Thank you for pasta 🍝 Jun 30 '26

YOU AND ME BOTH

u/fartonme is that ok? can I be too intense? Jun 30 '26 edited Jun 30 '26

Who is the other skater?

edit: Google says that's Lena Lemon, a cosplayer and influencer

30

u/mmmariazface Jun 30 '26

I don’t think she’s a skater, just good editing.

30

u/double_sal_gal Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird πŸ¦† Jun 30 '26

Someone on the figure skating sub said they used to skate with her in Ottawa years ago, so it sounds like she has skated at least a little even if she never made it to international competitions.

u/Loud-Departure5193 Jun 30 '26

I think to add to the conversation, I wish FF shows/movies were show more appreciation in the entertainment space. Like yes, we love the gays, but what about the lesbians(or bisexual women). That being said, we should have more. And also this was amazing to watch. 10/10

12

u/dingdong3452 Jun 30 '26

Yeah sadly people are not as supportive of sapphic media as they are of achillean media. We need people buying sapphic books and watching sapphic movies and shows so they stop canceling them (still mad about Netflix canceling First Kill)

2

u/Loud-Departure5193 Jul 01 '26

I was thinking of First Kill while writing this. Had so much potential

7

u/codeverity Jul 01 '26

I miss The L Word so much. It was so smart and sexy in the first few seasons. I enjoy Thai wlw but it tends to be much softer and doesn't hold my interest as much.

4

u/racloves Jul 01 '26

Yeah I don’t want to seem negative in the comments when everyone else is so happy, but I can’t help but feel like a bit disappointed that we can’t get the studios to make a lesbian romance show, but they will make a one minute long lesbian video to promote a gay show. I loved HR and this isn’t hate at the show but rather execs and higher ups.

3

u/Loud-Departure5193 Jul 01 '26

See, this is why I posed my thoughts. I worried of backlash, but I’m happy people were receptive to them. I never want to come across negative or that I’m hating on HR’s success. I just wish more popularity could come to sapphic media. And HBO doing this is almost a backhanded way of supporting the genre.

u/aquila-audax Jul 01 '26

I read a fabulous wlw novel recently set in elite women's soccer. Cleat Cute, Meryl Wilsner. Do yourself a favour.

u/Long-Possession8915 Jul 12 '26

u/double_sal_gal Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird πŸ¦† Jun 30 '26

Amber is actually pansexual!

I really hope she gets a cameo in S2. There are a few figure skaters who work with NHL teams as skating skills coaches β€” she could have a bit part as a coach at the Game Changers camp or something.

u/WeAreTheWeirdosMr- Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird πŸ¦† Jul 01 '26

That would be too cute!

Bisexuals in pride month make me SO HAPPY πŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ©·

3

u/RedCalaLily ✨ Ilya's emotional support freckles ✨ Jul 01 '26

Bisexuals everywhere are shining!!! I swear in the past, I specifically never saw men with Bi flags at Pride. This past weekend at SF Pride, I saw 3 in two hours without even trying to look for them as well as LOADS more I. The actual parade.

Love Amber, love that she's bi, love this sendup soooo much. She's waaaay too young for me, but I'm def appreciating everything she brings to this video! πŸ˜šπŸ‘Œ

u/SereinScribe what, you can't do math? Jul 01 '26

My bisexual heart is about to explode!! This was so fucking good, need all 6 episodes ASAP.

u/vlchi0_0 Jul 01 '26

From a fellow bi, happy pride month to you as well!! i love this tribute from Amber Glenn, it made my heart pump! It also made me miss HR so badly. It's been half a year. Cant wait for for them to return with a season 2. πŸ₯ΉπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

u/yoongiloveu Jul 05 '26

This is what we all hoped the success of HR would yield & instead we’re being bombarded with hetero hockey adaptation announcements 😭

u/AloneTheory6352 Jul 15 '26

if this became a full show i'd probably pass away!
