Why would women want to watch romance where no surprise casual misogyny is going to pop up and ruin the vibe?? Why would women want to escape straight men for five minutes???
Why Would Women Like Naked Gorgeous Men Talking About Their Emotions. Why Would Women Like Beautiful Sexy Men Yearning Sexily. Why Would Women Like Sculpted Butts And True Love. The Female Mind Is An Enigma.

Whatever Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie are to each other I hope the affection we see in their pr stuff is real and lasting.
It feels like something they deserve for all the joy their performances have brought people.

Count me among the HEATED RIVALRY flock. Women are devouring the HBO hit in phenomenal numbers but let's not overlook the gift that the gay hockey romance represents to queer audiences. Some words of gratitude:

Critic’s Notebook: In Praise of ‘Heated Rivalry’ and Gay Happy Endings
Get your mind out of the gutter! The sex is hot, but it's the swoony romantic highs and tender insights into queer first love and self-acceptance that make HBO’s breakout hit special.

Okay but whatever is happening to Sam Reid with Lestat is happening to Connor Storrie with Ilya. No further comparison can be made
+ Saying stuff like Ilya is not Lestat feels asinine. The comparison makes as much sense as saying Dexter is not Sherlock. Like, okay? No one is claiming the shows are even remotely similar. They're just two gay shows and we don't have many so ofc ppl watch both. +

The level of skill and care I can see on screen in heated rivalry shows me everyone was putting everything into it.
Like do I know what a grip does? No. But I know the ones working on Heated Rivalry are the best in the biz because look at what the set and costuming and *lighting* is like

Canonically she goes home with her boyfriend and I think we can all agree that she did in the show too
Can’t stop thinking about this queen & how fast her night went from 60 to 0. Do not introduce me to a vibe you can’t maintain by tonguing my earlobe down in the middle of the club then dipping. Devastating #HeatedRivalry

People really be confusing their own experiences for universal ones with zero introspection at all
same article btw -- "gay audiences deserve stories that help us navigate our own lives—or at least reflect a nuanced version of reality"

Because people denigrate the skill of a good sex scene we've been getting so many by the numbers unnecessary sex scenes which is part of why people keep saying things don't need them, and also why so many people can't see how very necessary Heated Rivalry's sex scenes are
good morning, I have noticed that some of the critical responses to the Crave show Heated Rivalry have been, let's say, incomplete
sex scenes are craft! goddammit!

I am so happy with episode 3. Jacob Tierney is willing to do something that is not popular (shift focus) in order to tell the story right.
I also think the changes make the Scott/Kip story stronger overall

So after re reading I did not realised that Hunter/Kip takes place over like 2 months.
That man goes from never fucked inside North America to wifed up in no time.
Anyway very much looking forward to episode 3 which will faithfully tell 75% of the story in an hour somehow

The heated rivalry show has me rereading the series even before watching it and just kicking my feet on delight when Rozanoff chirps Hunter.

Knowing the sport would be a detriment to my ability to enjoy hockey as a sports romance.

this is the eighth gay hockey romance ive read and i still dont know anything about hockey. i just treat it like nautical terms in books about the sea. it's good when wind fills sails. bad when team lose game.
still don't know what a "crease" is in a non ass context
