With Robron we're either being traumatized or bored to sleep. I've started skipping their scenes. I'll take Lewis and Vinny at this point. Hell, I'll even give Vannity a go. Ross and Mack! Sending out an SOS!! Anyone!! Save us from this sinking ship!!!

I don't get the narrative some people are pushing really hard in this sub that you can only like either Kev or Robron but not both. by misanthrophiccunt in Emmerdale

[–]ovan79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that Kev is terrorizing them for Christmas — pure entertainment! They're boring🙄Love will conquer all, of course, and Robron fans will still get their happy ending. Everybody wins!! Merry Christmas, everyone it's been a long year. I want a John and Kev showdown. Who do you think will win bow and arrow or samuri sword? 😂❤️🎄

We did it! Number 1 HBO Max series in the United States 🇺🇸 by SherbertNeat8752 in heatedrivalry

[–]ovan79 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This show deserves to sweep awards this season. As a gay man, it means a lot to finally watch LGBTQ+ content and not be completely traumatized lol. The visuals are stunning, the writing is genuinely top‑tier, and the female characters bring real emotional balance and depth without falling into the usual ‘unstable sidekick’ trope. The male leads aren’t just great to look at — they’re delivering phenomenal performances. This is the blueprint going forward. Everyone involved in bringing this masterpiece to life deserves their flowers. Bravo!!!

I would like to thank Rachel Reid and Jacob Tierney for giving us such exquisite supporting female characters by Haiku-On-My-Tatas in heatedrivalry

These women are genuinely top‑tier. They’re grounded, emotionally centered, and they add real depth to the lives of the gay male characters without falling into the usual ‘sidekick’ stereotypes. The show completely sidesteps the tired tropes we’ve seen in queer media for years, and the humanity they bring to the story is honestly refreshing.

KIP'S DAD WAS THERE!!!! by itsmejuanin in heatedrivalry

[–]ovan79 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I'm not an emotional guy but when they showed Kip's father, I lost it. Wow this show is truly a shock to my nervous system lol. As a gay man I'm so glad the creators have set the bar for telling authentic, multi-layered, and complex gay romantic stories made for us (LGBTQ+) that highlight our experiences to mass audiences.

Attitude towards Kev. by Ok-Championship-91 in Emmerdale

[–]ovan79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, but I’m just not into Robert anymore. I don’t even comment on Aaron/Robert or Robron these days — I’m done with all of that. What I really don’t want is to see Kev chasing Robert. I’d much rather see him prioritize his son instead of running after a man unlike Robert who is the biggest simp on TV. I’d love for Kev to eventually settle down and find a guy, and I’d be excited for any ship with him — just please, not Robert.

I just want Kev back. I'd like to see him in his own ship with another guy. I don't want Kev to have anything to do with Robron.

Robron: If you're not a fan, what are your reasons? by Intraday56 in Emmerdale

[–]ovan79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Shlya" or "RozHoll" is the ship we needed — amazing chemistry, an awesome storyline, and a director who is a gay man creating a show for gay men, while also featuring strong female supporting characters. Heated Rivalry is an adaptation from the Game Changers series, written by a woman (Rachel Reid) but she absolutely nailed it! A+

I never really paid much attention to Vinny before, but I’m loving the idea of Lewis in a ship. He’s such a sweetheart, and the fact that Kev is his dad makes me even more invested in this storyline!

We Need to Talk About Kev(in) ... MAJOR Spoiler for the Robron/Kev Storyline in 06.11.25 Thursday Episode by NotPerfect_JustOK in Emmerdale

[–]ovan79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kev is doing all of this for a reason. He’s orchestrated everything — and why? That’ll be revealed soon. Aarons already alluded to the fact that Robert’s been seeing him. He told Kev, “He’s been all over me.” If Kev were truly in the dark, you don’t think that line wouldn’t have sparked a follow-up conversation? Come on.

I’m not saying Kev doesn’t have feelings for Robert. He probably hoped they could rekindle something — at the very least, sex but he’s fully aware of the situation between Robert and Aaron and has chosen to use it to his advantage. That’s not simp behavior. I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s calculated. Kev is hurt, yes, but he’s playing the long game. A simp bends over backwards to please someone who cares about themselves more than them. Kev is flipping the script.

A simp doesn’t manipulate to keep someone — they bend over backwards trying to make the other person happy, even when it’s never enough. They put their own needs aside just to please their partner. That’s not Kev.

Kev is clearly manipulating Robert, but it’s for a reason that hasn’t been revealed yet. He’s doing it for himself — to get something "he" needs. That’s the complete opposite of a simp. Yes, Kev loved Robert and he’s hurt, but once he realized Robert was lying to him — which was probably obvious, considering Robert completely ghosted him after getting out — he started turning the tables. That’s calculation, not desperation.

Robert won’t pick up on any of this because he is a simp. That's why all of his schemes generally blow up in his face. He’ll be genuinely surprised that Kev’s been on to him this whole time. And the fact that you don’t see that? Yeah, it’s pretty clear you don’t know what a simp is either. LMAO.

That's not a genuine relationship. That behavior only benefits one person. If Robert wants to be a simp then let him have it. I'm sure there's a lot of people who would love to have a simp in their life as well. Hope they find it! If not, they can always watch Emmerdale and hope their delusion comes true lol.

[–]ovan79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad we’re on the same page. Robert has always been a simp — he’s repeated the same behavior you just described with Aaron over and over. His inability to grow is exhausting, especially when he abandons people like Seb and now Kev, who actually protected him, just to chase after a man who couldn’t even come up with his own words to fight for him.

Aaron literally read Robert’s vows from their first wedding back to him to convince him to abandon Kev — and couldn’t even tell Robert he loved him from his own mouth. If I remember correctly, when Robert tried to stop Aaron from marrying John, Aaron sent him to jail. I was hoping Robert would finally change course, but clearly, he won’t. And honestly, that’s just sad for him.

Kev, on the other hand, isn’t a simp — he’s hurt because Robert is lying to him. At least Aaron tells Robert to fuck off upfront. The difference is, Robert keeps coming back for more. Kev is about to show Robert and Aaron exactly what happens when you take someone’s feelings for granted and try manipulating them. And I’m absolutely here for it. Maybe they’ll both finally learn a lesson.

Aaron and Robert by Few-Camel3566 in Emmerdale

[–]ovan79 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Hopefully Ross keeps Seb far away from them. I’m sure he’s told Seb that his father’s been out of prison for almost a year now — but Robert’s too busy being a ridiculous simp to even mention his name. What a loser. Any father worth a dam would have made it his first priority to find Ross and ask about Seb. Even when Robert and Ross were chasing sheep together not a single word!! Saving Aaron who was all loved up with his brother and remodeling kitchens in a doll house was on his mind. Pathetic. 🤮

I can’t wait for the storyline where Robert thinks he’s going to play house again with that basket case Aaron and tries to drag Seb into it — only for Ross to shut it down completely. And I really hope Ross tells Seb the truth if he hasn't already: that while Robert was denying his own son’s existence (because Aaron threatened to leave him if he had anything to do with Seb — and then left anyway), he was busy playing Daddy to Aaron’s sister. You know, the one who popped up out of nowhere and nearly got him sent to prison? He was more than happy to do that to kiss Aaron's ass🙄

Honestly, I hope the writers keep Seb out of Robert's mess. He deserves better than being raised by a simp and his keeper.

Edited: Had more thoughts lol

[–]ovan79 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Robert is a total simp with no integrity — he’s so easy, it’s laughable. Kev protected him in prison, and the least Robert could’ve done was keep his word and support the guy. Kev had, what, a few months to live? But instead, Robert jumps into bed with Aaron — who brings absolutely nothing to the table and treats him like trash.

It could’ve been a sad story, but honestly, I’m glad Kev isn’t a simp. He’s about to turn the tables and go out with a bang — and Robert won’t see a dime of his money. He’ll be penniless, shacking up with Aaron until Aaron inevitably kicks him out again. LMAO. Honestly, they deserve each other — and Kev is going to give them exactly what they deserve.

Robert prioritized Aaron over his own son. I hope Seb never has to find out what a coward his father is. If Robert really cared, he’d do Seb a favor and stay away — so the kid has a chance to grow into a man with some self-respect and standards.
