Boys and girls, I hate that I’ve become addicted to the dopamine from this show and extended book fandom. I never used to twiddle this much. #HeatedRivalry Don’t get me wrong, I love all you heaters.

I pledge allegiance
to the pairing
of Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander.
And to the rivalry
for which it stands,
one heated nation,
under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice
for all.

The unauthorized merch for #HeatedRivalry is wild. Let me say I’m always against needlessly swearing in print on buildings or clothing, even if it’s playfully censored.
But instead of T-shirts

This is where we are: it’s 3:00 in the morning and I’m awake imagining musical numbers and other sketches for Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams to each be a guest on the new Muppet Show. #HeatedRivalry

One of the things is that #HeatedRivalry throws a spotlight on yearning, loving intimacy and I remember when I’ve had that intimacy with someone and now I want that connection again. It’s not like I want an ex to return, though.
Yes the rivalry is there I just can’t see the forest for the trees #Reheat #HeatedRivalry
Heated Rivalry S1E5. No notes. 🏒🩷🏳️🌈

I wonder if downloads went up for dating apps in the past month or two. I re-downloaded Tinder myself after an absence. #HeatedRivalry #IDeserveSunshine
One man’s “The newsreels are dead.” is another man’s IT MAY BE COLD IN SASKATCHEWAN BUT HERE AT THE INTERNATIONAL PROSPECT CUP, FANS ARE HOPING FOR SOMETHING HOT ON THE ICE #HeatedRivalry #TheHour #BenWishaw
I’m coming to the cottage tonight. Ep 6. First watch. Bring hugs. 😭😘 #HeatedRivalry
Well, that certainly could have been an ending for good if there was no second season. #HeatedRivalry
(Very peeved that @… ‘s app just lost me my first version of this thread but I guess it’s my own fault)
So, I’ve finished watching #HeatedRivalry for first viewing and now, as I have a tendency to do, I’m getting all introspective.

The knockoff’s here! The knockoff’s here! 👕🏒⛸️ #HeatedRivalry
How many men are going to be going to the other kind of club this weekend wishing, hoping, and praying they might find their Rose? 🏒⛸️❤️ #HeatedRivalry

this is how a straight person starts to get it.
I know gays are statistically 10 percent of the population but this show is also saying that sexuality is so much more fluid than we … want to admit. #HeatedRivalry
Currently in pause after seeing ep 4 for the first time; I want to go to 5, but since I’ve managed to get myself to halt, I’m trying to at least get myself to Friday before going on. Maybe my real problem is that I just need to cuddle with a boyfriend. 😢 #HeatedRivalry
Have determined the two main co-stars of #HeatedRivalry were each born the year before I graduated college so if there wasn’t enough reason to bury myself under the covers and pillows and never come out, well, there sure is now
Finished episode 4 of #HeatedRivalry. I wish I could ACTUALLY cry right now instead of just feeling that feeling.
Some note has been made in #HeatedRivalry circles of the two main actors, who have to cover a vast amount of time jumps over the course of several years across six episodes, and efforts to make them look different as they age.

Svetlana: “Not even Jane?” (#HeatedRivalry)
Me: How are we in the second period SORRY SECOND QUARTER OMG … and New England has not even scored? (#NFL #AFC)

You keep talking about “reheating” but - two-edged sword:
A) Why would you want to keep subjecting yourself to this heartbreak?
B) What’s going to happen after you’ve desensitized yourself by watching over and over and over?
#HeatedRivalry
I don’t think there’s any other way to describe what I’m going through - between #HeatedRivalry (thru ep 4) and #MerrilyWeRollAlong - but:
serious
existential
crisis
Go ahead and @ me, maybe this is covered in the books more thoroughly.
I’m up to halfway through #HeatedRivalry episode 4. (Had to take a break when Shane/Rose met cute, blahblahblah)
We need more blatant pointing out of the high-vis contractual pressure that is on Shane.

Just realized that Rose and Rozanov have the same syllable and I wish I could go back to bed and sleep off this fiction intoxication #HeatedRivalry
Okay. Yeah. Putting out the call.
If you are a bisexual male who has dated both men and women can you DM or @ me for some private conversations please? #HeatedRivalry (after Episode 4)
RI/SE Mass/Boston area preferred.
Rozanov’s team won over Hollander’s team at home tonight #HeatedRivalry
SOOOO… I bet you’ll beat me to this, but … I’m planning a fanedit of #HeatedRivalry x #MerrilyWeRollAlong - at first, because it was that both shows were about love and choices we make personally and professionally… Then I realized both have time jumps too.

Torn on whether I should have my first watch of ep 3 #HeatedRivalry tonight or if I should watch TITANIC to compare Really Intense Eye-Flooding Love tropes
(I’m also looking to watch SAME TIME NEXT YEAR for related tropes too)
we needed a distraction #HeatedRivalry
We are about to play a GAME AGAINST EACH OTHER!!!!! #HeatedRivalry
(also, I can’t go back and look at the exact capitalization just this moment, I would honestly appreciate any corrections!…)
WAIT! Wow, I haven’t seen this gesture in like … ever!? #HeatedRivalry
Well, I guess I need to go find my sunshine, huh? ☀️❤️🏒 #HeatedRivalry
So, for a hot 20 minutes today I was firmly convinced that some time late in series 1 of #HeatedRivalry someone would be singing the song, “You Are My Sunshine.” Which would be eye-floodingly cute for young gay men in love and getting immense support …
On the bright side, breaking my self-induced restriction is making me feel much better 😭❤️🏒#HeatedRivalry
I’m going to bet all the #HeatedRivalry fan edits are going to be using music from like pop stars, rock or metal or rap stars from 2000 to now, but I am going to have to take a leave of absence from my job to do the show tunes I want to do there https://…
It’s that: sexuality is growing and becoming more conversant, racing through the countryside, catching at dreams, celebrating triumphs, dealing with the agony of monetary-impacted defeat #HeatedRivalry #HeatedMerrily (or

This is like a collective frisson, isn’t it?
I’ve heard the word “psychosis” tossed about but I don’t think that’s it. Delirium? #HeatedRivalry
Everybody’s all “Is lie, liar told you that” and “we didnt even kiss” …
Where’s the love for “I already ordered for you. Salmon and brown rice” ?

First I got sent ads for #HeatedRivalry knockoff merch. Did not bite. Then found the official merch is at HeatedRivalry.com. Alas, everything appears to be sold out. Of course. First world problems.
Is it odd that not only am I keeping myself from binging #HeatedRivalry but I’m seeing if I can wait a week between watching each episode?
For the record, I have now purchased to be delivered in hopefully a few days a cheap knockoff MONTREAL METROS/HOLLANDER/24 T-shirt, to be augmented once the OFFICIAL full-price line of T-shirts is back in stock #HeatedRivalry
