the distressing realisation that the Ryan Price character looks like Jordie Benn

You know what, I appreciate that they thought about that

CONNOR!!!! the only argument I have for HudCon doing a Thai BL-esque work marriage is that a simple bitch canNOT keep up with two separate streams of content.. please.. boys... I have a day job

wake up babe another hudson williams video that's going to spawn 6-42 new gifsets just dropped

Signed up for Fandom Trumps Hate! Every year I somehow miss the sign ups so finally, it's in. Writing fic for Heated Rivalry, MDZS or AFTG

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

hey Boston-adjacent moots, what might be a Boston newspaper that might do reasonably nuanced journalism and what might be one that does terrible sensationalist journalism? asking for fic purposes 👀

every time I hear about a new bizarre type of spam bot comment on AO3 I start to get indignant that I have never had received a spam bot comment, can't believe the bots don't love me 😡

so I've never watched SNL because I'm not American so the only skits I've seen are the Try Guys and the HP/Heated Rivalry ones I don't think... I understand... this show...

if I had a nickel for every time I used the bad dragon website for fic research, I would have two nickels

still think the funniest HR fic would be the au where Scott Hunter IS a serial killer

any time someone says the nhl would welcome a queer player I remember how there's a guy who's an excellent player but gets traded for being weird and 'not a team player' because he *checks notes* likes to go to museums

Hey look it's my book cover! Is it not BEAUTIFUL? @isthiseva.bsky.social did a simply incredible job capturing the characters and the vibe. Pre-orders are open now! books2read.com/citizenofeas... has all your store links.

I love Snorse

I just remembered these cups that were real Russian merch for the 2014 Sochi Olympics and lmao hashtag Heated Rivalry I guess

Taking comms on for Jan! No job so very happy for any work!

Found in my drafts because I couldnt think of a good punchline 🥲 I'm in the UK so the default hockey is field hockey. Ice hockey is hockey on ice. Ergo, gay hockey is

My hot take re: Ilya's Russian background coming up a lot more than Shane's Wasian background is that you have to understand how allergic Asians are to talking about important things with words. Shane gets a great grade in repression, a thing that is both normal to want and possible to achieve.

Of the thousand moments of Ep 6 that live rent free in my mind, I keep coming back to the cinematographic choice to not show us Shane's face when he says 'Boyfriend?' It's not a fully coherent thought but there's something there about how it forces the viewer to engage, to imagine, to extrapolate

I thought the Ilya eating pasta (but lower to the table moment) was so adorably funny and then someone pointed out this summer was probably the first time he's had a home cooked meal made for him since his mum died and now I'm sad

every so often i think i'm really rabid about something, like i write fic! i cosplay! i spend hundreds of hours on various media!!! and then i see people doing shit like holding 'NOW KISS' signs at IRL hockey games and you know what, i'm so normal actually

Made the mistake of wandering into mainstream online discussions about Heated Rivalry. All I can say is: none of y'all would have survived TEN SEASONS of Queer as Folk discourse

Deeply funny to see all these fandom mutuals who have scattered to the various blorbo winds since MDZS all reunite for Heated Rivalry

Wild about how Ilya Rozanov says, “I love you,” to every man on his team coming off the ice but won’t say a word to Shane Hollander (his sexual partner of choice!) about a single sincere feeling.

Just realised that I'm enjoying the Heated Rivalry show for the same reason as Murderbot which is the screen time dedicated to letting terrible awkward moments linger. Love to third wheel people having a worse time than me.

Graduated, moved to Japan, got a job, hated that job after 3 years, moved back to the UK, got a job, hated that job after a year, got a job, hated that job after a year, got a job... been doing that ever since Sometimes the lore is you don't know what you wanna do but you still need to pay rent 🤷🏻‍♀️

If I had a nickel for every time I've been to a gig where they crowdsurfed and we, the crowd, DROPPED THEM,,

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

i am shockingly bad at this ao3dle.vercel.app

If you see this, repost with the first #cdrama you watched. I will literally never pass up the chance to post this image of the giant bird suit okay.

My discord got hacked, just in case it wasn't obviously not me to anyone who's just received a bunch of spam from me telling you to follow Mr Beast 🫠🫠🫠

excuse me, how dare you? smh 😒

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away. So don't let it go away. Keep it going. In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

Look at them gooooooo

10pm on the hottest day of the year is definitely the right to time start baking bread

Nearly the end of the work day in a heatwave is definitely the best time to realise you only put deodorant under one arm

my superpower remains groggily waking up on a flight convinced i've napped for 20 minutes to discover I've been out solidly for five hours

I am breathing. I am breathing. I am breathing. I am breathing the crystal air.

I, too, wish to exist gently cradled by seaweed

hey chat, what does it mean when a guy won't cuddle with you but will spend all evening sniffing your shoes?

the absolute audacity of Heathrow to label the vending machines as 'food and drink' options on their maps

The unnecessary stress of filling out 'country' in any given drop down: Scroll down to United Kingdom. Not there. Scroll up for Great Britain. Nope. England? Nope. Panic??? (It was under 'Britain')
