Heated Rivalry being unapologetically queer and sensual, combined with Hudson (and Connor) being unhinged and talking about sex and sex forward media so openly and positively is the medicine we need in this era of puritanism and fascism
the reason why heated rivalry is the best book in the ghcu (gay hockey cinematic universe) is because in book 3 the main hockey player hates that he has to fight in hockey and whenever he gets in a fight on the ice his boyfriend honest to god cries. meanwhile ilya is full body slamming Shane into the boards in some kind of unnegotiated exhibitionist bdsm gladiatorial match
bc the thing is sorry that ilya just wants a little kissy but hollander is a FREAK. Shane Hollander is A FREAK out of his own BEAUTIFUL MIND. no other pair in the ghcu (gay hockey cinematic universe) houses a very sweet boy who invented cnc with no outside input.
my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"
if I was vibing like koumba pluribus, I would go to santorini instead of vegas and have the hivemind recreate mamma mia (2008) for me with the original cast and then I would say “yay thank you christine baranski hivemind thank you colin firth hivemind thank you meryl streep hivemind” and they would say “we love you :))” and then I would ask for mamma mia: here we go again (2018) please next and they would say “sure paddington fan sixty nine, we love you and the mamma mia films but unfortunately cher perished when we mind melded and we did have to eat her :(” and I would say “oh no amanda seyfried hivemind that’s devastating can you take me to albequerque new mexico?” because the sheer blow of losing cher would make me join forces with carol
