cannot believe i was just living my life and then heated rivalry hit me like a goddamn yaoi semi-truck. and i can’t get up.

Accurate?

I can’t stress enough neither Shane or Ilya believe what they’re doing is dom/sub stuff— they both know what it is they just think what they’re doing is a different thing. They think they invented it. It’s just a little game they like to play.

ive been saying this for a long time but

you know how phil could speak to science?

ask hank anything

“there can’t be this much to say about heated rivalry” there’s cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

Going from Marta who literally threw up every time she tried to lie to Helen who was game to go to her sister’s murderer’s private island dressed as her and manages to extract motives and opportunities from everyone basically on her own, to Jud, who keeps running off to confess at basically every opportunity must have given Benoit such incredible amounts of whiplash

heated rivalry book is a nice stroll thru an inoffensive booktok novel. however heated rivalry tv show transports us from well-produced softcore to ao3 to looking hbo to a russian language production of a little life and then somehow, in the final yard, to call me by your name

u have a responsibility to understand ur own privilege btw, there really isn't a way around it. if ur white u gotta learn about structural racism, if ur a man then u gotta learn about patriarchy, if u live in the first world then u gotta learn about imperialism. u have to be a class traitor, no excuses

“You would have HIM center ME!?” Ilya demands, like he’s not about to center his whole damn life around one Shane Hollander

gay people and their indirect kisses via water bottles

Every story should have lesbians in it BTW

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Something I love so much about The Conversation scene is that Rose could tell when Shane felt cornered and unsafe and was struggling to form a full sentence. So she told him that he didn't owe her an explanation and resorted to yes/no questions when he went nonverbal to which he answered with a barely noticable nod or shake of his head. And she didn't ask for more until he felt safe enough to talk about it and make the peg and hole joke.

Rose Landry, I love you <3

I am currently vibrating out of my skin waiting for the HEATED RIVALRY finale and the cottage and the only thing that has kept me in the general vicinity of sanity has been the absolutely god tier fic. I can't tell you how many times I've had to practically shove my face into my hoodie to try to muffle the cackling laughter because I was not going to explain what I was reading to the people around me, but all the lolz-worthy fic really did help take the edge off the desperate intensity of feelings I had after episode 5.

I meant to post this sooner, but then wound up adding to it and adding to it because I couldn't stop reading and I still am further behind on my reading list than the last time I checked the tag on AO3. What an incredible fandom to get to watch explode, from this medium-sized book fandom I joined just a month before the show started, not even realizing that it was about to get such an incredible adaptation, but goddamn is there some fucking talent here. Hayden and Jackie are getting the love from fandom that they deserve! And you have no idea how many loopy!Shane or social media fics I have read and how each of them are incredible! Centaur team shenanigans! THIS FANDOM IS SO GOOD TO ME.

HEATED RIVALRY - NO I WON’T BE CHILL ABOUT THE GAY HOCKEY PLAYERS SHOW:

MORE RECS UNDER THE CUT because I have zero self-control about the amount of fic I want to shove at you all.

i need troy and harris to be played by NOBODIES . i need to have never seen them before in my life. i dont care if they keep the same hair colors or the same eye colors or any of that.

they better look 25, harris better be stocky and thick and hairy and troy better have the greatest resting bitch face of all time. amen

Rainbow capitalism but its the Ottawa centaurs getting amazing hockey players for cheap just cus they're gay

havent gotten to the ottawa centaurs part of game changers yet but from everything ive heard about them, ive deduced that their main selling point is going through life with the power of friendship and i think that’s beautiful

ok and where's the fic where ILYA is the one who can't keep up. now that shane knows he can have it he wants it All. The. Time. only thing holding this man back was the 4-6 fucks annually schedule. and once he invents free use out of his own beautiful mind it's like omg ilya can't go anywhere in the house without shane turning up to blow him or bend over for him. he doesn't want to sound ungrateful but sometimes a man just wants to drink his post-workout protein shake and look at twitter on his phone he doesn't necessarily need somebody to be kneeling under the table keeping his cock warm in their mouth
