I just saw somebody say that there should be an episode in either s2 or s3 about coach Wiebe’s backstory and wow that would be so painful. Please do it.

people sure have a lot of opinions on the books that people like to read while living in a society where nearly half of the adults don’t read books at all.

the next person I see that says Heated Rivalry was made for straight women gets their shit rocked

why do I need to do my fucking taxes which are just going to be used to brutalize children overseas? I’m gonna be sick.

I can’t remember the last time I literally screamed at the TV like I did when Hudson made a surprise appearance on SNL and crashed into Connor’s arms. I feel like I’m 16 again.

I blame this indefinite ao3 outage on those people who felt the need to publish articles in mainstream popular magazines about smutty Heated Rivalry fics. Idk if this is true, but they put direct links to ao3 in that recent article so I’m not ruling it out.

whoever’s decision it was to bring Quinn Hughes onto SNL for this week alongside Connor Storrie, I just wanna talk.

my opinion that’s going to make me sound old is that I hate how many businesses are going entirely cashless. similarly, I don’t want absolutely everything to be digital (parking meters, menus, etc). let me pay with cash, dammit.

70% divorce rate in the NHL btw

reminder for those who seem to have already forgotten — Heated Rivalry is about queer hockey players who need to keep their sexualities and relationships a secret because of how bigoted the NHL is. the NHL is the antagonist. real life issues inspire fiction.

never felt so at peace not giving a fuck about real men who play sports. ya’ll are really out here shocked and disappointed that men who play in one of the most bigoted leagues in sports are bigoted losers.

all of these event planners better keep the Heated Rivalry hype going into the summer. I don’t want to be in the house at all once this snow stops. imagine the screening marathons at the queer bars and drag shows when it’s actually warm out. imagine the vibe.

the way this winter has been acting, the first Mamdani summer is about to be a movie

Removal is not enough. Serving time is not enough. I need the medieval breaking wheel to make a comeback.

I’ve gotten so many questions about #FanX Salt Lake 2026, and all I can say is this — idk yet if I’ve been accepted for this year guys 🥴 apparently acceptances have already slowly started going out so I really can’t say yet 😭

my alma mater being connected to the files is fucking disgusting but unfortunately not shocking

“why don’t we have a lesbian grindr?” because ya’ll are out here writing whole think pieces claiming that people aren’t actually lesbians if they like taking the strap.

being a fangirl in 2026 is insane because what do you mean the mayor of Ottawa has proclaimed that January 29 is now officially Shane Hollander Day

as much as I am obsessed with Heated Rivalry, if you’re making HR themed signs to protest ICE, I think you are tone deaf. hell, this is the case for any pop culture related “protest” sign. also, if you’re selling any of those anti-ICE Heated Rivalry shirts and not donating the profits, fuck you.

new #ICEOUT donation sticker is available now on my site. all profits generated from this sticker will be donated to those taking action on the frontlines in Minnesota. #FUCKICE 🛍️ www.nicolebrennandraws.com/listing/4448...

one more thing and I’ll stop yapping about this today, but I’ve seen far too many grown ass cishets call Heated Rivalry things like “that gay hockey porn show” and it’s weird. grow up.

hopefully I’ll only need to say this once, but the people who tear down one queer story for it’s commercial success simply because they’re upset that it isn’t a story that represents their specific queer experience/label, and the series that DO represent them have been cancelled, are weird.

I love when people ask me how I got into Heated Rivalry as if I wasn’t watching Free! when I was 15, Haikyuu!! when I was 16, and Yuri!!! On Ice when I was 18.

Do any pubs in Dublin show the Super Bowl? Genuinely asking. I don’t give a fuck about football, but I’m going to be in Ireland during it and I don’t want to miss Green Day’s opening show.

prompts: lovebites + sticky 💕 how’d i do? :) also, do you prefer the toned or B&W version? #poolverine #deadclaws #nsfwart

my online fan art shop is open again thru March 11 ✨ I’m also running a 25% off holiday weekend sale thru Monday night. I don’t have another con until #GalaxyConRichmond , so a lot of work will be out into new merch in the meantime ✨ 🛍️ www.nicolebrennandraws.com

all of the people from LA giving people advice for Club 90s Heated Rivalry and saying not to bring a coat…ya’ll are funny. It’s gonna be 29 degrees in New York tonight, I’ll be bringing and checking my coat, thank you.

if you already have an HBO account and loved Heated Rivalry, may I suggest Our Flag Means Death if you’re looking for more unabashedly queer media.

people are reselling Club 90s Heated Rivalry NYC tix for $600 each??? I paid $42 for mine, you guys are sick and twisted for that.

if violence didn’t work the government wouldn’t be using it on a daily basis.

I’ve surrounded myself with so many other queer people that I constantly forget that bitch is a slur. That’s a term of endearment in my world.

#hollanov charm design that I drew up during #ala #animelosangeles yesterday 💞🏒 #heatedrivalry #fanart

I just know that all of the people who are saying that Reneé Rapp isn’t a lesbian because she replied “yum” on a video of Hudson Williams never go outside.

I’m at #ALA #AnimeLosAngeles this weekend! Find me at table E04 in the Artist Alley through Sunday night (and tell me if you spot any #HeatedRivalry art at other booths 👀)

stop saying she was fatally shot. Renee Nicole Good was murdered by domestic terrorists. a woman lost her wife and a child lost their mother because of DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

it doesn’t seem like the NHL knows that they’re the villain in these books #heatedrivalry #gamechangers

I need Robin to never quit DJing so that in 40 years when Mike is in some loveless marriage she can torture him with good luck babe on a daily basis

as satisfied as I was with most of the finale…yeah there was definitely some bait there. not quite queer bait, but definitely rage bait.

okay but can we talk about how good Nancy looked in the epilogue

views from front row. enjoy Will the Wide. #strangerthings

gimme kiss 💧💙 🏷️ #hollanov #heatedrivalry #fanart

“but what about Robin and Vickie?” I love Robin. she’s one of my faves in the series. but we barely know Vickie, and her relationship with Robin was developed offscreen. not only that, but the only romantic interaction we see between them was put there to further Will’s sexuality subplot.

I’ve started planning a #hollanov ita bag. It’s getting serious.

More poolverine holiday big bang art! I was delighted to draw a little something for @veralefae.bsky.social 's fic. It's hot and sweet, go give it a read! 🎨

I’m not even a devout #byler shipper, but “he was my Tammy” had me rolling my eyes so hard. Tammy was a hallway crush to Robin. that boy is in LOVE with Mike. they are not comparable.
