Shane: Ilya, you can’t get me pregnant. Ilya: Not with that negative attitude. Shane: no, I mean, it’s biologically impossible. Ilya: oh, so you hate me then. Okay. I see. #heatedrivalry #hollanov

The upside of this Heated Rivalry Fandom HOA situation is it’s made all the freaks and weirdos (pos) come out of the woodwork and I’m collecting them on Threads like Pokémon.

I told myself I was not going to cause trouble in the Heated Rivalry fandom but they’re over on threads organizing a Morality Squad composed of 14 “vetted fans” and y’all I can’t do this again

Hello beautiful fronds (typo but I’m leaving it) do you like beautiful men in makeup and banter and jokes and dirty talk and sex? Have I got the fic for you, inspired by this picture of Hudson archiveofourown.org/works/80951671 #heatedrivalry

I am soooooo bad at being active on more than one social media platform at a time, because reposting things from one to another makes me feel like a content creator and not like a person yapping with their friends.

Shane & Ilya would try to have some kind of picking up a stranger in a dark nightclub role play but then they wd both get too upset about the idea of cheating on each other and end up having sweet missionary sex while crying into each other’s mouths > #heatedrivalry #hollanov

There needs to be more thigh fucking in Heated Rivalry fics. Why do they even have those thighs if nobody is fucking them, I ask you?!

the very veriest (gay hockey edition) @theveriest.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Why is the Heated Rivalry feed all people complaining that they don’t like the show or the main couple isn’t compelling or that the stakes aren’t high enough

It’s interesting to me to see ppl on Threads get very offended when people say RR did Shane dirty or doesn’t really understand him because she created him. When I think everybody here knows sometimes the fandom understands the character waaaaaay better than the creator can ever hope to 😅

Today on Blorbo Defense Squad: why was Ilya so cold to Shane in Vegas? Why didn’t they kiss? Why didn’t he get up and walk Shane to the door. Okay, yes, that was a dick move. But consider. He’s about to go home to Russia, a place he only associates🧵 #heatedrivalry

I used to be, I think, a pretty run of the mill Nice White Liberal but I’ve been slowly deconstructing that since Sandy Hook when I realized that the slaughter of dozens of kindergarteners wasn’t going to change a goddamn thing. It sure is something watching other Nice White Liberals get there now.

Hello I’m going to monologue for a minute about my blorbo Ilya Rozanov. I have seen people call him a fuckboy and I must object. He is not a fuckboy. He is a rake! 🧵 #heatedrivalry

I feel like I’m fumbling around in the dark trying to find the Heated Rivalry fandom without resorting to going back to Twitter. I’m on Threads, but everybody’s fighting. I’m on Tumblr but nobody talks to each other there! Where are you 😭 #heatedrivalry

This was my special set of silverware when I visited my grandparents’ house as a kid. I didn’t know who Hopalong Cassidy was, just that it was special and just for me. But now I see he is serving LEG the house down boots 🦵 👢

Husband is home from ER, tests were all normal, this flu is just gnarly. His blood pressure was all crazy and he was dehydrated. Get your flu shot if you haven’t already!

Last Friday I had to take my daughter to the ER for a fever that wouldn’t go down, turned out she has Flu A. Two days later my husband caught it. Today I dropped him off at the ER for chest pain and shortness of breath. Tomorrow is my birthday. Can I say fuck it and eat my cake for dinner?

For some writers, transing a character is the highest honor they can bestow. For me, it’s feminizing. I’m going to put that cis man in makeup and lingerie and call him “good girl” and he’s going to be soooooooo horny about it (I’m talking to you Shane Hollander) #heatedrivalry

Getting back into Hollanov has made me realize the ship dynamic I love more than grumpy/sunshine is anxious fusspot/sexual menace. Gentlebeard, Sprizzy, Aziracrow, Hollanov. Fluster! That! Man!

My first real date with my husband was seeing The Princess Bride in a second-run theater. At the end of the movie, the iconic line about perfect kisses, he kissed me. I wouldn’t be sitting here in this house with my kids and my dog without Rob Reiner 💔
