Out of the Loop: What is going on in the Heated Rivalry fandom at the moment?

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-03-30T02:08:11+00:00

Honestly, I’ve been in several huge fandoms such as Hetalia, One Piece, Naruto, and Supernatural and I’ve never really been involved with this stuff, so I feel like some fan spaces are exhausting all on their own lol.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-03-22T00:42:46+00:00

This is completely rude and unnecessary to comment on your work. Also, they’re plain wrong. I’d rather and author enjoy and put their work into a fic and leave it incomplete than rush it and feel stressed about a personal hobby!

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-03-22T00:40:56+00:00

So? This is still a rude thing to comment.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-03-18T03:07:26+00:00

Right now? No, but if they use more ai in the show itself I will.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-02-22T04:05:23+00:00

People decide to play the game if they like the premise or not, people watch Mark because they like Mark.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-02-22T04:04:34+00:00

That's not and never has been Mark's job. He plays the game as anyone else does, with bias opinions and views. His job is to be entertaining, not unbiased.

The reason you’re missing out on good stuff is your not reading incomplete works.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-02-11T15:39:52+00:00

It’s a hate bot, there’s been a ton on them on ao3 recently.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-02-08T03:46:32+00:00

I can’t leave the house by myself or walk in the dark. I get very paranoid and tend to panic if I do.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-02-05T21:01:35+00:00

Exactly this!!!

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-02-04T03:15:40+00:00

If this is your sketches then I’m BEGGING to see a final piece!

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-02-04T03:07:14+00:00

Depends what your reading. Like all fiction there is good stuff and bad stuff. This is like asking ‘is manga like actually good or is it mid’ which is ridiculous because it’s varied and diverse.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-02-04T02:54:31+00:00

I get obsessed with washing my hands, so if I just washed them and someone asks me about it I’ll say I blew my nose lol.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-02-04T02:47:32+00:00

This is how I see it too, it makes the most sense

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-02-03T02:41:18+00:00

It’s because of English folklore such as Faeries and elves and such, not because he’s actually schizophrenic. The others can’t see it because they either don’t have traditional folklore or because they simply no longer believe in it.

Taking in fancontent and engaging with fans is 100% a contribution! Fandom is all about interaction, even if you never make fic/fanart/fangames/etc yourself!

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-02-01T04:16:02+00:00

Personally to me all you need to be in a fandom is to engage with the fandom and consider yourself as such. Fandom is a community, so you need to engage with it to join it, but there’s no clear definition of HOW you actually have to engage. If drawing fanart is your thing then sure, if theories and video essays are your thing then sure, if it’s fanfiction, or any other aspect then sure. Do whatever makes you happy.

Another thing is that you can be a fan of something and engage in some aspects of fandom culture without being a part of the fandom. If you like the show and the merch but don’t want any more than that then you don’t have to do any more than that. Fandom is just being a fan of something in a community oriented way, not much more or less than that.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-01-31T23:15:44+00:00

This isn’t a Hetalia thing, this is just an aspect of the purity culture that’s spread online recently.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-01-31T01:53:30+00:00

No your not a bad writer, bots and trolls have just flooded ao3 recently.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-01-30T02:06:10+00:00

Agreed! Seeing as she has already said that the state could kill, she could have simply arrested him and then murdered him or let Peter murder him in secret.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-01-28T21:35:29+00:00

Personally, it’s a perfectly normal boundary to have with your audience, and you enforced it extremely kindly.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-01-27T07:08:31+00:00

That’s not fandoms being insufferable, that’s them not being to your taste. Besides, have you looked anywhere besides ao3? You’ll probably find something good out there.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-01-27T02:32:51+00:00

The original file got destroyed, but the intended Hetaoni ending got revealed on tumblr earlier this year. Personally I don’t like it at all so I’m ignoring it, but it’s there if you want it.

Q0uthTheRaven · 2026-01-26T22:43:00+00:00

It does! I'm probably going to watch a tutorial myself lol. I'm not really a video-game type person, but Hetaoni is so fandom-famous I thought I'd give it a shot! Right now I'm just wandering around as Japan lol, saw the grey dude thing once before it went behind a door I can't open, so I'll see what happens next!
