why is it so hard to be a part of heated rivalry fandom? i don’t get it…

we don’t talk about this one enough

one of the hardest rosalía photos ever taken

I saw someone say, “My hyper-independence comes from how little urgency people show when it comes to me,” and honestly, that resonated deeply.

I know he’s an actor and that it’s literally his job, but the way ilya is completely different from connor in every single detail is insane. In my head, I genuinely can’t process that they’re the same person

The obsession with wanting people to regret losing you is insane. You’re not that special. People lose people every day and keep living. Heal from the ego that needs to be missed, chased, or mourned to feel valuable. Your job is not to become somebody’s punishment. Your job is to grow, move on, and build a life so full that their regret is no longer your concern.

hudson williams 20 minute skincare routine was when I knew I was locked in for this man. he managed to grab my full attention for 20 minutes, uninterrupted. yeah

he's so full of whimsy he has to do a silly little dance no matter where he is 🩰

Zachary Suico, a fencer who competes for Penn State Fencing, spoke to @outsports about how Heated Rivalry and Hudson Williams' portrayal of Shane Hollander impacted him as a gay Asian athlete: “I read the book, and I watched the show, and honestly, I very much understand the idea that representation does matter. But when Heated Rivalry came out, I think on a personal level, it hit very differently [...] The main character is like a gay Asian male who is competing amongst a lot of amazing people,” Suico continued. “A lot about the show really resonated with me, and I felt very represented at that moment.” “Hudson Williams’ portrayal of the character made me feel very supported in my life, and more confident in myself and what I wanted to do.” 🔗: outsports.com/2026/6/17/2413…

Go look at how the ppl who are loved right are being loved. Let it disturb you a little & let it make you uncomfortable with what you’ve been accepting. Watch how they’re not sitting analysing responses trying to decode if they like them or not bc the answer was never ambiguous.

No one understands the emotional damage of being in a fandom. One episode makes you feel like you're on top of the world, the next one has you staring at the ceiling at 2 AM questioning every life choice that led you here.

friendship breakups hurt so much more because wdym one day we were talking about meeting up someday, sharing our craziest secrets, and then it all just ended on a random day

"for you mama" the way Ilya was laughing and crying at the same time overwhelmed with different emotions. the way he was thinking of his mother and the way he knew she'd have been so proud of him

this STILL BOTHERS ME when he did the " shane stare club scene " and like nobody realized. FUCK

Your story doesn't end in isolation. Your community is finding its way to you. Love is traveling in your direction. Strangers will appear like angels at just the right time. Life is conspiring in your favor. Open your heart to it. Claim it.

I don’t think people understand how quietly damaging it is to feel consistently unchosen. No one points at you and says you’re not enough. No one explicitly rejects you. But experiences accumulate. Conversations fade. Talking stages dissolve. Connections soften into friendships that feel safe but never deepen into anything more.
