I don't know who needs to hear this but someone recently told me "no amount of waiting will make you more brave, and no amount of worrying will make it more safe."
And honestly I think about this everyday.
According to @thenation, ‘Heated Rivalry’ has officially become the #1 most-watched non-animated series acquired by HBO Max of all time!

Joel Kim Booster talks about the entertainment industry's "backpedaling" on queer representation, even in light of the success of Heated Rivalry:
'“So many gay spaces have become almost exclusively for high-earning, wealthy gay men,” he says. He sees irony in the fact that “the people who would benefit from being in these spaces the most are the people who are never going to be able to get there financially.”
He says, too, that despite the success of his own projects and other LGBT-centered shows like Heated Rivalry, the current wave of harassment coming from the White House is having a chilling effect on artists. “People are really frightened and risk-averse right now because of this administration and what we’ve seen in the way of censorship or retaliation,” he says.
Booster calls out the industry’s backpedaling on shows that put queerness center stage — despite important successes like Heated Rivalry, in which love between two elite players shifts the hypermasculine world of hockey. “There are now six hockey shows in development, none of them gay, and it’s like, guys, I think it wasn’t the hockey that was the big issue.”'

per chi dice che heated rivalry non è un'opera d'arte vorrei far notare la contrapposizione tra la prima scena dove corrono per stare insieme per poi, alla fine, fare tutto il possibile per cercare di rallentare il tempo per stare insieme prima di salutarsi 💌
