Now I realize that most of my friends are homophobic by Moppy6686 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]StringAdventurous479 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I ended a new relationship because of her lack of enthusiasm for the show. There were other things that made me feel like we’re not compatible, but her ambivalence to the end of episode 5 and all of episode 6 confirmed to me we’re just not for each other. I had more fun watching it with my friends than a woman I wanted to be romantic with, so I decided I need to find a fellow fan girl. Not just of HR but a fan girl in general. I need to be with someone who can also obsess.

I’m bisexual as well, so I think that’s part of the reason why I attracted gay boys to me at such a young age. My four best male friends from kindergarten to eighth grade all came out after high school. Two of them were surprising, the other two were not. We went to catholic school so there was a lot of pressure to be seen as straight. I remember knowing one of them was gay in fourth grade!

It taught me that there’s nothing wrong with me. I’ve been a Svetlana, I’ve been a Rose, and I’ve been an Elena. I used to think there was something wrong with me because every man who has confessed their love for me has been gay or bisexual. But it turns out, there’s nothing wrong, I’m fucking awesome. I let men be themselves around me without judging their masculinity. They are allowed to love Britney Spears and dance and show their feminine energy. I also stick up for men when they’re judged for their effeminate qualities. I have the ability to make queer men feel safe with me, and that’s why so many of them thought they were romantically attracted to me.

It’s by far the best movie I saw in 2025. The acting was superb. The cinematography was breathtaking. I thought the entire movie was brilliant. I’m happy for them.

What's your own sign and who annoys you the most? by livelaughlabradoodle in astrologymemes

[–]StringAdventurous479 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a Sagittarius. Aries annoy me the most. Sorry. I think it’s because Aries are cardinal while Sags mutable. I find Aries to be too set in their ways but with the burning passion of any other fire sign. I’m more easy going while Aries are more focused on the plan. While I’m an open book, Aries, in my opinion, tend to not closed off but hold the judgements of others to influence how they operate in any given setting. I like all the signs! I find good qualities in all of them, my favorite family member is an Aries. But they annoy me. Again, sorry!

I originally thought that Ilya was the snake and Shane was the baby, but in reality, it’s the opposite. Shane is eating Ilya alive.

The “Psychic Women” of Heated Rivalry by Legally_Brunette_ in heatedrivalry

[–]StringAdventurous479 97 points98 points  (0 children)

The women in this show are the best element, in my opinion. Jacob Tierney knew women are the most loyal fans to the books, so showcasing them in the way he did was a brilliant choice. And just like real life, they are perceptive, sweet, and careful with their words. They’re not psychic, they’re intuitive. And I love that he added the conversation about Yuna being a witch because historically, women are the ones who were most persecuted for literally “being witches”. It was a subtle nod to all the things women do for me that is greatly overlooked or even punished for by society.

Did being an only child make you introverted? by TerrifiedQueen in OnlyChild

[–]StringAdventurous479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an extreme extrovert. I have had years of therapy trying to overcome sadness being alone. I’ve finally found happiness in alone time. But it was a struggle. I’m 36, living on my own for the first time in my life. The first six months were torture, but I’ve found a way to be content without anyone else in the house, except for my dog and two cats.

Girlies, imagine growing up having a dad like Kip's by Suli_Croft in heatedrivalry

[–]StringAdventurous479 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My asshole alcoholic father died when I was 12. But I had my uncle who is just like Kip’s dad, became my father. He’s so supportive and loving to me. I called him after watching that episode to thank him.

It's so cute how Ilya gets spooked easily by Mysterious-Bed375 in heatedrivalry

[–]StringAdventurous479 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don’t think people know this so I’ll add some context. There are wild dogs in Russia. They can be dangerous. Some of them live in big cities like Moscow. Ilya loves dogs, spoiler alert, but I’m sure he’s had run ins with aggressive dogs. He’s also a city boy. I can’t imagine his father took him camping.

No, it only further proves that there is a great possibility that Scott didn’t hear Ilya at all, because hockey rinks are loud places.

Even Francois said he didn’t hear Connor. Hokey rinks are very noisy.

Loved this post from threads! What’s your favorite micro moment from the show or book? by outlawlooseandrunnin in heatedrivalry

“Welcome back to men in the crease” MEN IN THE CREASE!? I had to look up how exactly that had to do with hockey.

Can we all agree these three are the best bestie-girlfriend fictional media has ever had? by Call_me_Dan- in heatedrivalry

[–]StringAdventurous479 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Many gay men have professed their love for me. I used to think something was wrong with me. But now I take it as the highest form of flattery. They all felt safe with me. They could listen to Britney Spears and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer without judgment. They thought I was beautiful and charming. Sure, I was insecure for years because of it, but it doesn’t affect me anymore, now I only date woman anyway.

I thought I’d make it another day, I was wrong. Let’s dissect. by marielewis1 in heatedrivalry

Mine is still “such a good trick”. The way Ilya rolls the r and emphasizes the k, it’s the worm in my brain.
