I’ve been mulling over some of the disconnect over criticisms of heated rivalry (and I think it’s perfectly fine to not like the show, no art can be for everyone), and one of the things I’ve been thinking about is that the show is QUEER but definitionally its not in queer culture.

Staring down the internship application process like- I’m sorry I have to beg YOU to let me pay you $7-$15k and also work for you (unpaid) for 7-11 months??? (I knew this when I started down this path but that doesn’t make it easier to swallow)

good morning, I have noticed that some of the critical responses to the Crave show Heated Rivalry have been, let's say, incomplete

One thing I do think about the hockey show is that you get a wildly different experience if you pay attention to it vs if you are looking elsewhere, in part because there’s very little dialogue and there’s a lot of micro expressions

anyway before I got swept up in the rising tide of hockey romance stuff I rewatched Deadloch and once again thoroughly enjoyed myself, 10/10 no notes for lesbian in-jokes and an excellent chaos/order muppet detective combo

Rewatching heated rivalry eps as I heard they accidentally made them too dark on HBO initially? It’s very fun to watch all the micro expressions now

“hockey players in love with their rivals???”

have you never heard of the US and Canadian women’s Olympic hockey teams

People basically never ask me questions about my current job bc it’s outwardly uninteresting and also makes people feel guilty and/or like I’m going to ask them for money if they ask me more questions.
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

The thing about heated rivalry is that I have a stupid amount of fondness for a funny asshole and their stuck up/repressed love interest
