HEY LOONS! ANY DOCTOR WHO FANS IN THE HOUSE? YOU HAVE ONLY ONE GUESS AS TO WHY I’M ASKING #HeatedRivalry
HEY LOONS! ANY DOCTOR WHO FANS IN THE HOUSE? YOU HAVE ONLY ONE GUESS AS TO WHY I’M ASKING #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
First reading (REIDing) of book 3, “Tough Guy,” w/ Ryan & Fabian. This has plenty of “awww!” - Just finished catch 12 😢 Poor Ryan! (poor Fabian!) I’d love to see this story in, maybe, year 3? of #HeatedRivalry since I think Eric and Kyle are coming in next year. #GameChangers
And only now am I realizing I should’ve brought the ability to reheat with me over into this snowstorm #HeatedRivalry
Oh well
LOONS. I may have to put on clothing and go take a fricking walk around the block. This built world gives me too goddamn much to think about. #HeatedRivalry
Loons… #HeatedRivalry I’m reading GC and gotten to the heart-wrenching PLAYOFFS sequence. The wrenching is actually good. Heartbreak feels good in a place like this! 🤣
LOONS. I didn’t want a hockey jersey and I wanted something that buttoned up so I ordered a cheap baseball jersey with “METROS”, “HOLLANDER” and “24” and it’ll be here tomorrow or Monday (curses for ordering it to work) and soon we’ll see if it was all a waste #HeatedRivalry
Continuing my ReHeat watching with audio descriptions on. S1 Ep 3 and 4 #HeatedRivalry Disliking some of the choices the narrator makes, like WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST DESCRIBE WHAT I JUST SAW THEM DOOOOO???? … obviously I’m not in the loop on their standards.
Out of Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, and The Once And Future Twitter, Threads kinda seems to be winning on my balance sheet these days, but the #HeatedRivalry fandom there may be giving a hefty boost to its capital
That’s a good point. Season 2 #HeatedRivalry needs to go to an actual GAY club … where Shane will be mortified … but Ilya will of course be whatever.
Or maybe the roles would be reversed. I DON’T KNOW!… 🤣
Michael. Michael. Michael.
$hane would be so terrified. !lya would probably be too, to a degree. #gay #night #heatedrivalry
HEY LOONS! #HeatedRivalry While I’m still well away from reaching TLG, today I wondered if I should force myself to wait and see season 2 BEFORE reading it, since that’s the experience I had with HR. If you’re an OG book fan, what do you think?

Late dinner. Smashed potatoes and divine, sinful Brussels sprouts. People watching. Wondering what their stories are. Pondering the sacred texts in the back of my mind. #HeatedRivalry
I don’t want to get into fan fiction of franchises because my brain is already muddy enough, but one thing I can’t keep myself from reading is the fan fiction text chains between #HeatedRivalry characters.

I work with several moms of young kids and I’m starting to want them to see #HeatedRivalry … because of the plot line about a parent seeing their child self-actualizing. It grips my heartstrings so much. 😭
Dads too I SUPPOSE 😂

There may be six more weeks of winter but my heart is having an early spring thanks to #HeatedRivalry
(Alfred Lord Tennyson: “In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love”)
Well-trod hospital moment: “Ilyyyaaaaaa!…”
Underrated hospital moment: “Oh, no!” (Shane half under his breath when the nurse comes in) #HeatedRivalry
(Bonus: “Bye-bye.” Just like baby Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!)
This will never happen. It’s LIGHT YEARS more likely to happen, like, IRL or in other media. But now somewhere in season 2 of #HeatedRivalry I want Shane, or maybe Ilya, to say to the other, getting ready to leave or something, “Saddle up, cowboy! We got bad things to do!”

I guess one type of topic that resonates with me is the dynamic between parents and children. Which is an incredibly common, relatable, prevalent, popular theme. Especially since Shane #HeatedRivalry is an only child, who, it’s arguable, is highly protected by his parents.

A flurry of NFL trades are being announced today because the negotiating period for free agents has begun. I told my coworkers, “Wake me when Rozanov goes to Ottawa.”
Nobody laughed. #HeatedRivalry
Can’t figure out where I saw it but thank you to whomever said #HeatedRivalry was featured this morning in a CBS Sunday Morning segment.
Have NOT seen it yet but I’m going to put all my money on who I think the reporter was.
@mobituaries. Mo Rocca.
Today I have “My Moon My Man” by Feist stuck in my head
#HeatedRivalry (though I’m trying to cut back)
Reheat no. 2 begun, ep. 1 down. This time to switch things up, guess what I’m doing? Watching with the spoken descriptions for the blind. It’s fascinating to me what the describer has to choose to convey and what isn’t mentioned but loons go crazy over. 😆😍😎 #HeatedRivalry
Hammering through the Game Changers books. Finally made it to TLG. I was honestly teary-eyed by the end of RM. If Troy and Harris are the ‘other’ couple next season on #HeatedRivalry because of those books’ concurrence I could dig it. ❤️

This week “Pamela” by Toto is stuck in my head. Earlier I was thinking of a fanedit including more real-life wildness and turning the lyric “PAM-EL-AAA” into “GEN-TLE-MUHNNNN”… #HeatedRivalry

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

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.
#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.
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

Yes the rivalry is there I just can’t see the forest for the trees #Reheat #HeatedRivalry
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
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
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
(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
I’m a newscast producer at a local television station. The newscast I do most often is half an hour at noon. Let’s see. What stories have I done in my shows featuring #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

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
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
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?
