I also love Ilya's hair in this scene, and I'm still delusional enough to think I could pull something like this off.....

As a GenX/Millenial Cusp I remember the MTV movie kiss award they use to give and this should qualify for best kiss. #HeatedRivalry

Two guys in a queer relationship spending their time together in long distance or longer distance over text talking about how hot another guy is....quite true to life I'd say. #HeatedRivalry

This is the nightmare of the caring but closeted relationship. One person has a medical emergency and the other has no reason to immediately be there and find out what's happening and reassure or care their boyfriend or girlfriend.

Connor Storrie is such an amazing actor that in a few seconds of how he is moving while skating he shows us with mostly just body language how worried he is for Shane being hit and the medics coming in for him. #HeatedRivalry

I won't post about Ilya's amazing russian monologue here, I can't say more about how wonderful it is than other more talented people have already said but it got me thinking, if Bolshe means more, is it related to Bolshevik? #HeatedRivalry
January 25, 2026 at 3:26 AM
I was always too busy enjoying the fact that subtitles say "I just hope Jame knows how lucky he is" and focusing on the *he*, ie Svetlanna knows about Ilya, to realise that the russian way she says Jane does kind of morph into Shane phonetically. Maybe just an accident of linguistics, but...

This is the first time we see Alexei & Ilya together in person, and Alexei calls Ilya a faggot. He also called him a faggot when we first see him onscreen, in a phone call to Ilya years ago.
Which tells me Alexei knows Ilya is bi, he resents the queer younger brother being successful #HeatedRivalry
January 25, 2026 at 3:09 AM
The character of Alexei, Ilya's brother, is a fascist evil cunt, but can I say something without making anyone mad? #HeatedRivalry

Ok the kind of chanting song in the background at 30:20+ when the funeral dinner scene is starting in episode 5 of #HeatedRivalry is what, does anyone know?

I don't think it's on the soundtrack or any playlists I've looked at. Is it just generic Russian or Greek orthodox chant?

Shane ("Jane", "J" in the text chat below) texting Ilya ("ily that they can't possibly meet, while racing to put on his jumper and shoes and go meet him will always be hilarious

The SIDE-EYE Svetlanna gives Ilya when he says "if you say so" after she says Shane Hollander is gorgeous. And then she reality checks with him with how Shane is gorgeous and he is a great hockey player.

AKA, she knows about them both. #HeatedRivalry

Actually Sophie Nélisse for Jean Grey in the new #MCU #XMen.

I do wish they had spent maybe another 30 seconds or a minute at this scene of Rose, Shane and Miles at the table at the club, allow a bit more flirtation between Shane and Miles, even if Shane isn't fully consciously processing it.

#HeatedRivalry

Helped of course by the fact that Rose Landry is of course, fucking hot as hell with a warm personality and lovely smile. And Shane is a fan, of course he thought he could make it with her before he had fully processed his own sexuality and identity. #HeatedRivalry.
January 25, 2026 at 1:39 AM
This is then followed by Shane being forced into socialising with his team by JJ, and the hot bartender who is there only as a literary technique to highlight the tension that while he is THE Shane Hollander who should have everything he wants, he does not have everything he wants.
January 25, 2026 at 1:32 AM
#HeatedRivalry Episode 4, about 16/17 minutes in, when Ilya first mentions "this girl, Svetlanna" Shane can't look at Ilya, he's so overwhelmed he can't deal with eye contact while he processes what Ilya means by talking about her.

Now why is @pantibliss.bsky.social the thumbnail for Connacht Rugby's imminent video here?

Is she a new signing, maybe the first drag coach for an Irish province in Rugby Union? Are you moving back Wesht to Galway Panti?

Ok Ilya Rozanov in these Heated Rivalry books is a hilarious bisexual menace, just showing up to gay bars and telling closeted hockey players that they are bi/gay and want to fuck men.

No wonder I've heard him described as a Queer Nick Fury trying to assemble a Gay/Bi Hockey Avengers.
January 24, 2026 at 3:02 AM
Lura Thok and Janet Reno are gay lesbian wives in #StarTrekAcademy who are going out to dinner for French-Klingon fusion cuisine! #StarTrel

I love it all so much.

Doable...

I was begining to get interested in the new He-Man when I saw Morena Baccarin was in it but any film with that cult leader Jared Leto in it is a big no from me.

Does Leto have Kompromat on every Hollywood Producer or something? Who keeps hiring him?
January 22, 2026 at 2:57 PM
Thought I'd be marked as sluttier...
January 22, 2026 at 2:50 PM
This is the high standard of allyship I expect from straight allies of the queer community.

If they're not jacking off to Heated Rivalry, all those people died at Stonewall in vain....

Went for a random 9km walk after dinner, somehow ended up in the pub.
