oh hey! this is my essay! it's been published at a personally funny time for me, really. i've been on the brink of a (for all intensive purposes) relapse all week. i'm glad that mothership shared this piece, i'm really proud of it.

up to you! it’s more of my thing than HR is, and it’s a film i’d been looking forward to seeing since the first clips came out last year. highly recommend it but yeah, good frame of mind and a good mood is the best way to go about watching it
010
newt @mossheadlives.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
but HR fans should watch pillion anyway because it’s excellent!!!!! they should just know it’s not totally similar at all

newt @mossheadlives.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
it’s literally just timing and fate!! pillion is a lot darker than heated rivalry

newt @mossheadlives.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
the only thing that heated rivalry and pillion have in common is that people keep trying to out the lead actors

newt @mossheadlives.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
btw if u leave pillion and come out of it thinking wow the lead character is sooooo ugly; ur brain is made of nasty things and i dont like u!!!!!! conventional beauty standards have rotted ur brain and they are closing u off from some of the nastiest twinks in the world !!!!!!

PILLION AND HEATED RIVALRY ARE WILDLY DIFFERENT STORIES AND THE ONLY COMPARISON TO BE MADE IS THE FACT THAT THE CENTRAL CHARACTERS ARE QUEER!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD

and whilst i understand the sentiment to a degree, i really feel like that conclusion is massively wrapped up in denial. it’s safe to get off the boat, people will continue to critique the contest.

there’s this very strange martyrdom happening in the eurovision community right now, i’ve heard it mentioned a couple of times, and it’s something along the lines of: we have to be here to witness what’s going on. we have to cover the contest critically in case no one else will
