The official Olympics account calling them "our pookies" like that's oomf, yo. Hudson and Connor really are the world's darlings rn I'm so proud. 😭 #HeatedRivalry #hollanov #hudcon

To those who haven't watched #HeatedRivalry yet, this is one of the best Hollanov fan edits I've ever seen. My heart is bawling omg 😭♥️

#HeatedRivalry fans in China are having a rave event there too omgwtf

Bro this is so insane??? THEIR IMPACT 😭😭😭 #HeatedRivalry #hudsonwilliams #connorstorrie #hudcon #hollanov

Omg #HeatedRivalry you're so powerful 😭

Hudson's portrayal of Shane's autism can be something so personal. I love this man and his intelligence and empathy. Hudson Williams you will always be famous. #HeatedRivalry #hudsonwilliams #shanehollander

It’s rare for any one piece of culture to inspire as many reaction videos as ‘Heated Rivalry’ has, yet so much of this genre is about watching straight men become captivated with the story of two professional hockey players falling in love. #HeatedRivalry

Oh #HeatedRivalry you will always be famous 😌

It went up to 99% haha holy shit #HeatedRivalry

Rachel confirming Hollanov is THEE ultimate couple and basically NEVER APART now in the upcoming book. OOOHHH INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS 😭😍#HeatedRivalry #Unrivaled

Excuse me while I bawl my eyes out. I love my parents 😭 #hollanov #HeatedRivalry

In Putin’s Homophobic Russia, Watching Heated Rivalry Is an Act of Rebellion and Hope The explicit hockey romance is an enormous hit there—perhaps because its closeted Russian hero feels surprisingly true to life. By Mikhail Zygar www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Successfully converted a sixth friend into the cult and she's now worshipping in the Church of Hollanov and Hudcon 😭 #HeatedRivalry

Shane Hollander from 'Heated Rivalry' diverges from a stereotypical portrayal of autism in a number of meaningful and refreshing ways #HeatedRivalry #shanehollander #hudsonwilliams

HUDCON REUNITED AND 3RD HOLLANOV BOOK (MEANING 3RD SEASON ALSO) CONFIRMED. NEVER KILL YOURSELF Y'ALL 😭👏 #HEATEDRIVALRY

OMFG A NEW RACHEL REID BOOK CENTERING ON SHANE AND ILYA IS COMING!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! 😭😭😭 #HeatedRivalry #Unrivaled #hollanov #GameChangers

"We talked about queer Asian kids" and how "LGBTQ+ people in Russia are watching the show" Tears in my eyes once again. Representation matters. 😭😍 #HeatedRivalry #hudsonwilliams

IJBOL not Ottawa claiming Shane 😂😂😂 #HeatedRivalry #shanehollander #hollanov

Every half decade I get adopted by new parents. In 2015 it was Kyouhaba, in 2020 was Wangxian and in 2025 it's Hollanov. And all three ships are their authors' faves with HEA ending (albeit Kyhb is lowkey it's still implied endgame) so I'm always well-fed and never lose. 😌🫶

The Heated Rivalry craze is insane bc I'm getting Ao3 notifications from authors that I've been following for YEARS bc of their Wangxian/Kyouhaba/etc fics but are now uploading Hollanov fics 😌🚬

Still thinking about how ppl who never watched HR try to dismiss it as "the pay gorn hockey show", meanwhile the Hollanov episodes with very minimal to NO sex scene at all are two of the highest rated episodes in television history. 😌 #HeatedRivalry

Exactly. In Haikyuu terms, Hudson Williams highkey gives off Bokuto vibes, and that's very very high praise. 😌 #HeatedRivalry

Never gonna get tired of glazing it like I'm the one who made it 😌 #HeatedRivalry #hollanov

all of us looking to get fucked (positive) rather than continue getting fucked (negative), as it were

there are worse ways to disassociate from living through more major historical events than being obsessed with the gay hockey show funded by Canadian taxpayers

The Heated Rivalry fandom keeps growing and stays so intense because the news is very depressing, the job market is the worst in years, and it's cold and dark outside. Why not disassociate from it all by rewatching clips and episodes of the sexy, well-shot hockey romance show with a happy ending?

"the vibes are bad and keep getting worse" explains why so many people are clinging to Heated Rivalry like a life raft

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

The success of Heated Rivalry makes the disappearance of Yuri on Ice and Sayo Yamamoto all the more sad to me.

Heated Rivalry, the highest rated TV show of 2025. 😌❤️

I'm gonna cry 🥹 Hudson Williams talks to Andy Cohen about receiving messages from closeted pro athletes following the release of #HeatedRivalry

“We were supposed to stand alone at the top, but we will always be there together. We will keep climbing until no one else can reach us, but it will always be together.” My fave #HeatedRivalry quote re: Shane & Ilya, perfectly encapsulating why I'm such a simp for this kind of dynamic. 😫 #hollanov

This clip of Katya Zamolodchikova nailing why we love the show so much. It’s really not just about the hot sex. It’s about the love without tragedy. #HeatedRivalry #hollanov

I think there's something addictive about rewatching Heated Rivalry because it gets more about emotional connection as it nears the end and it's so beautiful but you crave the horny and what do you do if you crave the horny? you watch the first eps again. Rinse and repeat.

Megan Thee Stallion fujoing out to that famous Hollanov fan edit iktr. Legend recognizes legend. 😌 #HeatedRivalry

Hollanov at #11 with more than 5k works in only a little over a month (the show premiered Nov 28) is crazy shit. Complete mass delirium. 😭👏 #HeatedRivalry

2010 & 2017 Kisses Always so passionate. I love their kisses so much. They make me crazy, your honor. #hollanov #HeatedRivalry

Hudson Williams is such a great actor to the point some ppl ironically think he's a BAD actor for portraying autistic Shane so well (flat affect, monotone voice, restrictive posture) when IRL Hudson is one of the most unhinged, expressive mfs out there. 😭 #HeatedRivalry

My favorite genre of #HeatedRivalry twts #hollanov #skip

First time ever where I see fans unanimously begging to have the live-action version of the characters for the cover of book re-prints, and I can't blame anyone bc I feel the same. Hudson and Connor are just so ICONIC as Shane and Ilya. 😭❤️ #HeatedRivalry #hollanov

#HeatedRivalry #hollanov

JUST FINISHED ALL OF HEATED RIVALRY!!!!!! THIS SHOW IS SO AMAZING THAT I FEEL INSANE!!!! I'M EXPERIENCING A FUJO HIGH!!!!!! HAPPY FU YEAR!!!!!!!!

Absolutely love this in response to Heated Rivalry hate

It’s crazy to start watching after seeing weeks of people going absolutely feral and bonkers over it. Like the expectations were so high, i genuinely though “there’s no way”…. But yes there is! It’s beyond anything i’ve ever experienced. I got hooked within minutes & i become more & more obsessed🙃

finally started heated rivalry and oh my god do i get it now

I can't fully explain what this show has done to me but it will forever take up residence in my brain, heart, and veins. It's part of my DNA. #HeatedRivalry

OH so Heated Rivalry is a PERFECT show, I see, I see. (Just finished.)

I'm kind of joking but also kind of not joking when I say that Heated Rivalry was foundation-shaking television.
