genuinely the optics montreal faces in heated rivalry kills me like imagine if the habs got crosby. and then fumbled him in free agency. i think there would actually be a riot.

[charlotte 🥦⚾️🏒📚 @brocchedchicken]

before one is allowed to complain about something shane hollander does in the game changer books I think it should be legally required to google wether or not sidney crosby does that thing. “why did rachel write shane-“ bc he’s sid the kid, next.

[🌈TibisayAlicia🌈💙💗💜 @Tibbalicious]

He's meaner too, Ilya's chirps are lightly done and lightly taken, usually people are over them in the duration of the game, he is just a menace but not menacing. Shane on the other hand I feel like his chirps would go to the jugular, which is why he doesn't do it often.

LBN is fascist. club kid is conservative. heated rivalry is slop. the body is fetishizing lesbians even though it’s made by a queer woman who was in a long term almost marriage with a woman. you people complain about anything, just happy to be unhappy

Everytime I remember we're actually getting Ryan and Fabian in S2 and that Daniel and Shaheen are playing them I feel #healed

[lauren @hudbisexual]

they already filmed this scene😭😭😭

[nia @niastalgist]

what infuriates me abt the discourse where ppl are pitting shane and ilya against each other (crazy bc it should never happen but here we are) is that when comparing what the two have gone through (again crazy), they completely downplay what ilya has been through not to say shane

[fiona @hollanovhuh]

the unrivalled halloween art made me want to reread halloween with ilya on rachel’s blog and i completely forgot about this part i’m dying at the timing

I mean

[Theo(dore) Foxx @FoxxDoesThings]

In a cıshet romance, y'all would DROOL over an MMC who did that for the FMC.

But bc you're SO CONVINCED that Shane is "the girl," you think his choices & his growth into someone who can do that bravely are "proof RR hates him & is an evil conniving bitch we need to destroy."

[Theo(dore) Foxx @FoxxDoesThings]

The Shane we meet at the beginning of HR lives/breathes/sleeps/reads hockey. It's the most important thing to him.

By TLG, we see a Shane who chooses Ilya & love over fame & career IN A ROMANCE BOOK.

THIS is where the offensiveness of these ppl's reaction to that comes in:

2/

[Theo(dore) Foxx @FoxxDoesThings]

What pisses me off about a Certain Side of the Heated Rivalry fandom losing their fucking minds over Shane not having the C or being second line in Ottawa is that they *fundamentally* misunderstand his romance arc & character growth in a way that is OFFENSIVE.

Stay with me.

anyone else love ilya rozanov so much it hurts. that’s my baby

[laura @summerbloods]

i know people get mad when you say this but i do think you shouldn't be allowed to start discourse about the hockey part of heated rivalry if you don't know shit about fuck when it comes to hockey

[yūki 🇵🇸 @shanessnoopy]

i feel like a lot of the convos on here are reminding me of when yuna asks ilya why he isn’t being loyal to boston and shane has to remind her that ilya is being loyal to Him. narratively, love is the defining backbone of the book!! everything after that is secondary

[kora ᢉ𐭩 @ilyasroza]

i can treat you so good just one chance please
