I saw a reddit discussion where the OP said that Shane wants control. This differs a lot from the way I understand that character, so I’m curious what others think. Does perfectionism = need for control?

I just devoted 80% of my therapy session to Heated Rivalry. Worth every penny.

Watching Call Me By Your Name. This movie is weird. Armie Hammer is so flat? Maybe I just dislike coming-of-age too much.

I haven’t found any HR on A03 that works for me and that makes me a little sad.

If there is another show or movie where the microexpressions are everything like in Heated Rivalry, please tell me about it. I want the deep dive into psychology, body language, communication differences, and alllllll that nuance. Makes me want to go back to school and write a damned dissertation!

Been so obsessed with Heated Rivalry that I nearly let my Libby hold lapse!

California parks are free on MLK day. Feels like a good day to step outside, take a walk, and think a bit about Dr. King and the idea that public spaces should belong to everyone.

A thread for no particular reason

Valid. 🦉

Must I get a sinus infection with every illness?

I guess I’m on tumblr now. Yes, I am always late to the party.

I now understand the appeal of reaction videos.

Doing myself a favor by NOT continuing to watch Your Friends & Neighbors after episode 1. I will still enjoy the memes with Jon Hamm in a club though.

The Vegas scene actually gets harder to watch each time. Dang!

Yesterday’s me did not understand the consequences of getting so much done or what would happen when new things landed on my plate. 🫠

I finally finished the Medi-Cal application. It’s taken 2 years of putting it off and having to get re-referred. Last referral was in October, so if we only count from there it too me 3 months to sped an hour doing the application. 😬

On one hand I went a full day without watching Heated Rivalry, and I got a huge amount of tasks done. On the other hand I felt overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed. I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow.

Is there anything I need to watch on Peacock during my free trial? (Not Poker Face! No procedurals, no cop shows, no medical dramas.)

Unfortunately real life keeps interrupting my Insta feed. I can’t cope with thaaaaaat right now.

Dez just asked “if there are straight As, are there gay As?”

Am I listening to Quinn? Why yes, yes I am. I might just consume all of the even vaguely HR-related content out there.

Book Riot put out a “book to screen adaptations” newsletter and there is no mention of Heated Rivalry. Weird choice!

I’m never going to recover from this shoooowwww. 😩

I got to recommend Heated Rivalry to my therapist. *rubs hands together*

🥲

Frisson can be really annoying!!

A messy lil #hollanov doodle for yall <3 #heatedrivalry #shanehollander #ilyarosanov #art

Everyone send me Heated Rivalry content. There has to be something I haven’t seen yet. 🤪

I’m fully obsessed with this show and can’t think about anything else. 😭

I rewatched Heated Rivalry and it was so good the second time (in a slightly different way). I then rewatched episodes 1-2 of Pluribus and also enjoyed it! Maybe I am becoming a person who can rewatch things?!

I have watched the end of Stranger Things and I am not mad. 😅

Can’t sleep. Head full of queer hockey players.

Getting Dez a skateboard (with his Xmas money). I have misgivings. 😝

Simultaneous loud knock+doorbell ringing from two random guys? Absolutely not, sirs!

I would definitely choose to assimilate. (This is a post about Pluribus.)

I just loved Heated Rivalry so muuuuuuch. 😭

I’m so thirsty for queer shows that I’m watching a show about hockey. 🤪

Wow oh wow, Heavy Rivalry. 🤯🥵😅

I have Apple TV for a week and no work. What do I need to binge??

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025 no matter how small: ✨filed for divorce ✨volunteered at a drag festival ✨volunteered for Free Mom Hugs ✨read 49 books ✨went to an X-Men convention ✨learned to style my wavy hair ✨saw Rocky Horror for the first time ✨made it through the hard days

My mom is visiting and she just told me over lunch that she’s been watching YouTube videos about detransitioners. 😖

I’ve taken naps on 3 days this week! Am I low on Vitmain D already??

Thankful for being wt the stage of life where my kids let me sleep in on Christmas. 🙌

For once I wrapped presents ahead of time. Still stayed up too late before Christmas though. 😝

Is it “on the books” or “in the books” or “for the books”? The phrase has lost all meaning for me.

I don’t want this news cycle. It’s an onslaught. Make it stoooooop. I feel ill all the time.

Dealing with some stress, a health flare, and now a broken television. Happy holidays. 😝

Seriously. No more earthquakes please!!

I am not loving all of the earthquakes we’ve been having recently.
