romance 👌

ilya rozanov

bro that first one

I cannot get over the way Ilya’s breathy little sound he makes right before that first kiss?? And then how he cups Shane’s cheek so gently right before Shane commits a mortal-kombat-fatality on the remains of that man’s soul??

I’m back on my running bullshit, and dammit, these 3 specific wolf parade songs are perfect for pacing

hi angels I haven’t been online but I have been watching heated rivalry

i love the fanon that alexei hates ilya because their mother getting pregnant w/ ilya forced her to stay with their father but i like to think that what keeps alexei up at night is a starker truth: irina becoming pregnant with alexei is the only reason she married their father in the first place

maybe my most favorite shane/ilya situationship dynamic of all time (ie: shane making up a girl in his head to be jealous of) archiveofourown.org/works/790632...

1) wonder man, unfortunately, is a bop 2) needle dropping "california" by phantom planet is dirty pool. 3) i do, indeed, ship it.

need to remember how to like things again, gimme top 5s

babylon 5, man

wuthering heights, whatever, grateful they rescued shazad latif from the st:disco mines, that man deserved better, and better* looks so goddamn good on him *killer goddamn coats

what a fucking joke of a country

me, about real world problems: love, kindness, and mercy are how we get through this together me, about fictional problems: anally destroy that twink until he forgets his name

i am just SO obsessed with this tag on ao3. what's it like to be so right??

the thing about scott hunter is that he is wrestling with self hatred and wretchedly starving for the barest taste of queer domestic life and once he realized he'd almost ruined kip's life he blew his own up in exchange, like, all of that is true. it is. but also he is fundamentally a large dog

why didn’t this pop up in my career aptitude test in high school

Shane Hollander.

how to sex with boyfriend good boyfriend sex good boyfriend sex but angry sex that is angry but not weird weird sex how do you know if your boyfriend wants to have weird sex with you canadian vs russian sexual mores shane hollander weird sex how do i delete my history

sorry but i just cannot see ilya rozanov as a like "safe sane consensual" kinda dude. that man isn't an experienced daddy dom, he's a fucked up bisexual disaster. and i desperately want more of that.

Free Rein by Anonymous archiveofourown.org/works/77460146 This fic is incredible. A claustrophobic view into Ilya Rozanovs head when all he can think about is giving Shane Hollander what he wants, if he asks for it or not. Theres beautiful language here and a tense, almost overwhelming atmosphere.

anyone else get that scam quickmed covid test bill? Just got one in the mail, supposedly for a test from *2022*. absolutely hate living in a scam economy.

i love sad boy dr robby. he’s having the worst fucking time #thepitt

Ilya loved his mother and carried that love within him like shrapnel. Before Shane, Svetlana's was the only love Ilya ever knew that wasn't a wound. Svetlana is the only reason Ilya knows how to give or receive affection

Lot of 💿🎠 about MM romance and if readers/viewers are projecting themselves onto the characters ... All of it misses the point. HR's REAL projection fantasy is the mid-2010s desire to be best friends with Jennifer Lawrence

Kinda surprised to see so many people uncritically sharing this story in which - non gay bar in Salt Lake City hosts a Heated Rivalry watch party on a random Thursday, two weeks after the season finale - there’s somehow only one man in this non gay bar on this random Thursday night for this party

obsessed with every single one of this anon’s Heated Rivalry work, but this one in particular is gutting in an understatedly bittersweet way archiveofourown.org/works/774471...

gotta collect 'em all

wow, I hadn't seen anything about the play before either, this is gonna be a hell of a ride

His & Hers has a record-scratch bonkers ending. Not worth watching, but if you do, the very last five minutes of the last episode is both a honk-laugh worthy twist AND absolutely solvable by the audience ahead of time if u happen to vibrate on the same batshit frequency.

I will read every interview with Heated Rivalry writer and director Jacob Tierney because his quotes are truly a reporter's dream: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

u know i love that genre of fic where the world thinks Ilya is fucking Shane’s mom because they’re always hanging out together and that stuff is DELIGHTFUL but consider…

ha ha ha!

🤝

the AU where Ilya can’t convince the advertisers to include shane, they never hook up after, never have anything to follow up w/ at all stars, nothing to say to each other at the awards but scott still buys the rookie shots, so maybe shane can follow scott back to his room like a stray cat instead.

this is my favorite genre of post-series fic so far. the Yuna POV is 🤌🤌🤌

this post is only 5 days old and it has already brought me so much joy. peace love enlightenment every time i see it

modern internet fandom is toxic because that is what the platforms reward and boost, because modern social media is designed specifically to surface emotionally charged takes for engagement

It's also such a beautiful way of showcasing their language barriers. Ilya freed from the challenges of fast-paced speech, whereas Shane, losing that immediacy, has time to stew over each message, feeling every contour of the interpersonal roadblock that has always shut him off from everyone else

"you should be a beef-luencer"

for the love of god can someone make work out leggings that don’t make me look like pissed myself by the time I finished

is this what it’s like to meet your evil doppleganger

jacob tierney holding the straight viewers' faces in his hands and gently but murmuring "I need you to understand that people who are not shane hollander want to live with their boyfriends and introduce them to their parents. this is a shane problem. he's very pretty but he is situationships georg"

I can never unsee

"I would read approximately 800 AUs where Scott is paying Kip for the boyfriend experience." #HeatedRivalryRewatch

living for this full court danmei couple press cycle

i'm bisexual in the sense that i like to see men AND women have a bad time

the thing is, shane hollander is the most accurate depiction of tim drake, robin III, ever put to (digital film) but hudson williams is gen-z dick grayson

read this instead of going to bed at a normal hour and it wasn’t a mistake. I’m a sucker for this Ilya POV, who so diligent at not being hungry that he forgets he can still starve. so so good.
