Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Honestly last time I read it I didn't really get super involved with fandom culture or book discussions so I'm excited for this re-read. I've read all but the last trilogy multiple times, but the last time I read through was when the last book was published so it's been almost 10 years. 020
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 11/05/2026I've read 'Realm of the Elderlings' (ROTE?) many times before but the book club I'm in just chose Assassin's Apprentice for the book of the month, and I'm back. I now must read all 16 books before I can read another book..is there a ROTE fandom here on bluesky? 120
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 12/03/2026in light of people attacking fanfic authors lately for writing things they don't like... I hope they know they are the embodiment of the problem. 0130
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 10/03/2026unfortunately the bullying happening was in the heartstopper fandom, it was just occurring on Twitter. 110
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 09/03/2026not all fics are for you, and when you see one you don't like, scroll on. That's the way it works. 030
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 09/03/2026#heartsky is so lovely and way better than "the bad place". I was going to post something about how dumb it is to bully fic authors over a creative work of fiction, but I can honestly say I've never seen it happen here. If you don't understand how fic and fandoms work, log off. some people suck. 4201
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 07/03/2026"Liturgy" - Heartstopper fic, #heartsky - a sacrilegious smutty story structured like a liturgy. Rated E, 4k words, one shot archiveofourown.org/works/80679681 150
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 14/02/2026find me something more dramatic than AO3 author notes... I'll wait. 080
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Because we all have those days when we need it, here is a nice sapphic hurt/comfort one-shot where Priya had a bad day at work, and her wife Jenny comforts her. My beta called it a "hot sexy hug", so enjoy if you need a hug today. 🩷🩷 #heartsky #heartstopper #fic archiveofourown.org/works/78538171archiveofourown.org 070

Reposted by RooBGay.com @bgay.com · 15/01/2026For years, the rink felt like home — and also a place of hiding. Hockey player Jesse Kortuem just shared a deeply personal coming-out story. What helped him finally open up? Watching Heated Rivalry. This is what representation looks like. 🏒❤️ #heatedrivalry #gaysports #gay 011
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 15/01/2026man the heated rivalry fandom got weird fast. to clarify, our server is a queer-forward, queer-centered fandom space, where everyone is welcomed regardless of how they identify, but marginalized voices are lifted and listened to. It shouldn't even have to be said. 030
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 12/01/2026anyone in the #heartsky community (or who has connected with me re: HR on here) and is interested in a discord about the hockey show hit me up in DMs... 180
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 11/01/2026🤷 there isn't that much sex, it's just sex that people aren't used to seeing on TV. There's no frontal nudity at all. The show is made and shot really well, it's not all about sex, it's just a slow emotional burn with fast physical intimacy, romance, angst, yearning, etc. its good overall. 030
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 07/01/2026I have way too many WIPs that I lose steam on and then will jump into and then let sit for a bit on repeat 😂 110
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Excellent recap and discussion of season 1 for #heatedrivalry 122
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 07/01/2026beta readers really are the true heros - responding to a chapter from a story they forgot they agreed to beta with me over a year ago 😂 360
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 07/01/2026OK #heatedrivalry #loonsky - I made a starter pack - let me know if you want to be added in to connect with other heated rivalry fans. 🏒 go.bsky.app/KbHUkYa 481
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 06/01/2026we need at least 6 people to start a starter pack and then we can just snowball it from there 010
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 06/01/2026when we were doing it with heartstopper we made a list first... 🤔🤔 #loonsky #heatedrivalry let me know if you want to be in an HR starter pack so people can find each other! 120
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Do we have a Heated Rivalry community tag yet? What would it be - LoonSky? Can I remake the #heartsky magic with a new group? (don't worry heartsky, you are still my OG) 6100

Reposted by RooBigFishStone @bigfishstone.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Hello UK Bluesky friends! We are SO EXCITED that your Heated Rivalry day fast approaches - January 10 on Sky and NOW! This thread (with help from @lalegault.bsky.social and @karenho.bsky.social and @gethporno.bsky.social ) will be your primer for this very Canadian series. So here goes! 162
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 04/01/2026HA! no chance. the fics on this fandom are wild. like fics getting 10s of thousands of kudos in a few days. I don't know how anyone keeps up or reads anything in this fandom! 😂 020
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 03/01/2026a silly little Heated rivalry fic based off the idea that Ilya searches for RPF that is him and Hollander. it's just silly and a bit cracky, with some fun work skins. archiveofourown.org/works/76903396archiveofourown.orgWhat the fuck is an RPF? - roo_writes - Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid [Archive of Our Own]An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works 150

Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 30/12/2025That moment when Ilya comforts Shane as he panics with his parents, and we see Yuna just set down her fork and get this look in her eyes watching them - I cant tell you how amazing it would be as a parent to see someone treat my kid with such tenderness. #heatedrivalry 0130
Reposted by RooMilli Beau @millibeau.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Hi there. Isn't it interesting how the most popular TV shows and movies this year (Sinners, Kpop Demon Hunters, and Heated Rivalry) were all hyper specific stories, proving that "universal appeal" (i.e. appealing to white straight folks) is not actually that appealing? 8773253
Reposted by RooNuraan @nuraan.bsky.social · 26/12/2025Seriously, heated rivalry turned this year from meh into the joy of experiencing a cultural phenomenon as it's happening. It honestly feels like more than just a show, it feels like permission to hope again. I love when I can find something worth hyperfixating over lol. 051
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 26/12/2025I got two lego sets also but one was one I already own 🫣 still excited though 130
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 26/12/2025I know Canadians who watch the show. I mainly follow other queer accounts so idk that I've seen specifically gendered takes, other than the discussion around how romance as a genre tends to be downplayed because it's marketed towards women so is considered less serious, but that's on capitalism. 000
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 26/12/2025what do you mean by this? Just curious - I know people from all over watching it and haven't seen a marked difference in the discord. 100
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 25/12/2025that reminds me I was reading a basketball one by Marisa Crane (A sharp endless need) and didn't finish it before it went back to the library. I should check it out again. 🤔 010
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 25/12/2025it just seems like it doesnt work because women's spaces tend to be more accepting of women coming out. The reason HR works is because their job demands them to stay closeted, or at least that is their belief. 120
Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 25/12/2025I've been trying to think of what a sapphic forbidden love heated rivalry story would be and it's hard because even in hyper-feminine spaces like beauty pageants we already have real life versions. Maybe church camp or something. What would an equivalent story be? 230

Roo @raanne.bsky.social · 25/12/2025I apologize for being all heated rivalry all the time. It will happen again. Give me a gay show and I will fall down the fandom rabbit hole apparently. 080
