Connor Storrie & Hudson Williams doing publicity together is a continuation of a long showbiz promotional tactic of teasing star romances/connections. Getting pissy because they might not be gay is missing the point of the show- you get to be who you are. "Queer baiting" is a homophobic construct.

NEW: I wrote about Heated Rivalry and why Shane being autistic is more than just a throwaway character trait, but an integral part of his athletic success.
'heated rivalry' gives us the autistic athlete representation we need
Shane’s autistic traits are integral to his success on the ice, as they are for many elite athletes who share them.

"Fans went wild over this comment. It showed such confidence and care, and it effectively shut down an avenue of questioning that has at times led to the forced outing of other young celebrities against their will.”

"Come for the butts, stay for the exploration of queer Asian identity."

Kevin Ng studies how Heated Rivalry navigates Shane Hollander's overlapping identities within the hypermasculine hockey world:

This idea has been rolling around in my brain for months, I finally decided to draw it

Digital art. Shane Hollander is kneeling, bound in black and gold ropes. He's looking up out of frame. Speech bubbles are coming in from out of frame saying, "Look at you, Hollander. So pretty in my colours"

Sketching some Hollanov. Excited to draw more of these cuties!

(Dw, not moving on - I've got so many ideas for Ed/Stede still!! Just satisfying the brainrot as it comes)

#hollanov #HeatedRivalry
A sketchy illustration of Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. Shane is drawn from the hips up; he's turned to his left and is wearing his Montreal jersey and holding a hockey stick at an angle. He doesn't have a helmet on and is looking stoically ahead. On his stick is the word Hollander. Ilya is drawn the same way but upside down and facing the opposite direction. his hockey stick says Rozanov and he's wearing his Boston jersey. There are little hearts drawn between their hockey sticks. Around Shane's head are stars and a crescent moon. Ilya has golden rays fanning out from his head.

Holy cats.

Let's go to the library, fam

#HeatedRivalry
From an x tweet Buzzing Pop The New York Public Library saw a 529% spike in ‘Heated Rivalry’ downloads on Sunday after NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani recommended it during the snowstorm. The book has surpassed 5k downloads, while the series has topped 13k as of Monday, with numbers still rising. (via The New York Times)

I was gonna do things while I listened to #HudsonWilliams and #EvanRossKatz chat but I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen.

Crying, laughing, agreeing, obsessing, taking notes. Yeah it’s all happened in the last few minutes. #ShutUpEvan #HeatedRivalry

Happy Monday #heartsky I'm currently stuck in bed with a sore throat and a fever. Ugh.

This may actually force me though to finally get around to watching a certain hockey show…

Q: Am I right in saying the book was first based on a fic?
