Flatmate: hey you doing okay Me, blasting "Better Son or Daughter" in my room with the lights off: why do you ask

Thing is, you couldn't have Hollanov without Sveta. Imagine Ilya Rosanov without Svetlana. Ilya Rosanov, who shoves all his actual feelings down through his broken glass chest and covers them with swagger and hedonism. And, when the swagger doesn't work, turns to stone.

man remember when the first thing Ilya says after telling Shane about his mother is "i don't want you to think she was weak" how many times do you think his father told him that over the years. every time ilya's team didn't win, every time he caught ilya sneaking home drunk or high

The challenge of using the apps when your entire personality is Heated Rivalry

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

Bsky implement private accounts please, I want to bitch about my life in a way that strangers can't find with a search bar

At long last, we have created the tyrannical king from the classic declaration

Delaware represent

As if this world isn't bad enough, there's two factor authentication

How many times can one woman listen to the Heated Rivalry soundtrack in a week? The answer may surprise you!

It really was a choice to put Hudson on Fallon, like, who is the late night host easiest to fluster

Like I recognise that acting exists but also are we SURE it was actually Connor Storrie who played Ilya Rozanov? Because apart from being identical in face and hair and body they look nothing alike

nevermoreso now that Heated Rivalry is officially dropping in the UK this weekend and I don't have anyone to go to the gay bar HR watch party with any moots want to fly out to London for the weekend or 🥺👉👈

Like I WILL watch HR fanvids, but it is funny to me because what is HR if not a series of fanvids Jacob Tierney did what every book fandomisto dreams of; hired some actors to play his blorbos and then spliced together a homoerotic supercut to the sound of mid-aughties indie bops

Closer to the heart, #heatedrivalry fic Chapter 2 is up! It is complete! archiveofourown.org/works/770177... Almost 5k more to read! 💙Yuna and Ilya sleepless hours 💙Big feelings 💙Sharing burdens 💙Shane comes back! 💙Hilarity ensues!

concussed shane trying to butch up in front of the nurse is so cute shane: byeee ilya byee byeeeee 🥰🌼🌸💃✨ ilya, rictus-faced, 🧍, carefully not glancing towards the nurse: goodbye hollander shane, remembering himself, coughing mascly and dropping half an octave: see you next season 💪😤 🏒

hahahaha i'm just thinking about how the game shane gets his bell rung is the first game ilya's played since his dad died. the first time they've seen each other hahahahahahhahah

I know I went home from work early due to crippling fatigue but what if I walked to the off license anyway; I don't usually stock vodka and I really do think vodka might be critical to writing Ilya pov

they should invent mutuals who live in your city

hi hello i wrote ~5k about a drunk cliff marleau giving bad relationship advice to a sad ilya rozanov. because ilya deserves a pal, even if he's kind of a clueless one. archiveofourown.org/works/77087866

Because I can’t ever be regular I wrote pre-canon Shane buying and testing a dildo; with feelings #heatedrivalry not book canon cause ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ archiveofourown.org/works/77113941

Anyway remember how I said I wasn't going to write anything for this fandom...

I would also, while I'm putting my fic wishlist out there, like for Ilya to get genuinely triggered by something they do. Maybe they're doing some horseplay that turns into light roleplay and Ilya's got Shane pressed down with his arms behind his back while Shane spits curses++

lrt you know that Kanye song where he goes "I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck, I like my dick sucked" like quickies and oral sex top the rankings of boastable depravity? That's Ilya Rosanov

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

Judaism question, if you boil oats in oat milk to make oatmeal is that still kosher or

On the one hand getting sick and having to cancel plans for my last two days of holiday has been wretched; on the other hand it's really given the HR brain rot time to take hold... These might be the same hand, actually. It is much harder to socialize irl when my entire personality is imaginary men

We don't hear nearly enough about Shakespeare's other sons, Macneth and The Nerchant of Venice.

I can’t believe the winner of the FIFA peace prize would do this.

Vegas energy tbh. #iykyk

Episode 1 rewatch: AURGH. Ilya trying to open up to Shane, telling him he's upset about going home and it just flies over Shane's head. Shane desperate for Ilya's attention and then lashing out when he gets it because what he wants is too dangerous to live with and too urgent to live without l JUST

i finished it, i cried, i may need to go and immediately watch it again

Happy New Year all! May we make it through this year, if it kills us

I thought nothing could be as insane as the chemistry between the two leads but the expression Scott makes when he comes home and sees Kip there waiting for him.. The shocked joy of being offered a home cooked meal after living off of scraps... and the overpowering hunger. Like. I mean to say. GOSH

... Okay so the hockey show is in fact very good

Had to get up twice to hurl cat off the Forbidden Bookshelf, at which point he started purring and snuggling... Which is also what happened yesterday. And the day before. And every morning I've pretended I was asleep to get an extra 5 min rest rather than petting him I've been outsmarted by a cat

What a month these past two weeks have been

Got fed up with subscription price hikes in the middle of cartoonish corporate evil and quit Spotify, but I'm not really feeling Tidal so far. What are y'all using?

a real part of my personal development is going from the kind of person who made "sportsball" jokes, to thinking that they're pretty cringe and mostly (at least in my case) reflected insecurity about not being in on the group activity

she would’ve loved ao3

Realising I haven't read any standout poetry collections this year; this is an open call for recs The last three collections which truly knocked me off my feet were: "Pilgrim Bell," by Kaven Akbar "You Better Be Lightning," by Andrea Gibson "The Book of Nightmares," by Galway Kinnell

80% of the way through the audiobook and I had to. Stop. For a minute. And sit down on the floor, dinner still frying on the stove Man. MAN

Y'all need to read this book

The Spear Cuts Through Water hands down the best book I've read this year and I'm not even halfway through

Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to have a brain that doesn't start blasting Arcade Fire's "Rebellion (Lies)" full volume from 11pm to 3am every weeknight

Meditating on the extent to which antisocial behaviour can be balanced by commitment to the bit.

trying to write while in the slump after hyperfixation like i used to words but i forgor :(

Rewatching the Untamed with a friend (her first time); just got to episode 10 and thrilled to report that seeing the Yi City crew together still hits me like a sledgehammer to the stomach

I have made the mistake of making chitchat (once) with the bouncer who works next door to my flat so now we have to do a chat every time I come home. Introvert nightmare scenario

The desire for partnership versus the desire to have a bedroom all to yourself
