One of my favorite things about the #HeatedRivalry fandom is fic writers making up names for the team group chats. Half-Horsing Around?! The Centaurs of Attention?! The One Where We Talk About Roz?! #chefskiss

I can't with people writing fics where Shane Hollander is not much of a movie guy. I mean, write your AU if you want to--I'm not the fic police--but Shane Hollander is canonically very much a movie guy. #HeatedRivalry 🧵

Shane's not a guy who's going to lie about something like that. I did read one fic where he says he *only* watches movies on planes, which is a delightful quirk that I think is probably not what Reid intended but does work with canon. But that's a very different hing from not liking movies.

But a Shane Hollander who doesn't like movies? Different character. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Anyone want to discuss Tierney's choice to have him listen to music while he works out?

1) He GOES OUT TO A BAR when JJ tells him the cast of the new X-Squad movie is there. 2) He asks for more beer when the bartender tells him Rose Landry is there. After he only ordered the first beer to flirt with the bartender.

3) He has seen every single Rose Landry movie. She is surprised at the details he is able to reference, and he's seen movies that were not popular. 4) He says, "I'm on planes a lot. I watch a lot of movies."

An important reminder that imaginary hockey written by women is far superior to real hockey in all its forms.

Alt S2 opening storyline for Blackbeard that just occurred to me: Upset about Stede having left him, trying to reinvent himself while having a broken heart, he gets drunk one night, grabs a knife, and gives himself bangs. Everyone must compliment his new look because they’re terrified of him.

Like seriously if this book was on AO3 as #CheckPlease fanfic I wouldn't blink.

I'm reading a book about a figure skater who's best friend is southern, gay, transitioned to playing hockey in high school, has a cooking vlog, hangs out in a hockey house with a co-dependent d-man pair, a feminist over-intellectual mostly-naked teammate, and is flirting with another teammate who 🧵

This just in: Mostly Naked Hockey Player is lowkey obsessed with a nonbinary art major who is currently on a semester abroad. 👀 He also does naked yoga on the roof as part of his ongoing war with the rugby bros next door. (Definitely not the lax bros across the street.)

speaks English as his second language, had a closeted and ill-advised relationship with a teammate in juniors, and [checks notes] disappeared just before the draft due to anxiety issues and then went to play hockey in college instead. @ngoziu.com are you aware of a book called Like Real People Do?

BREAKING. Enormous news in the hockey romance world... I am thrilled to announce that CHECK, PLEASE!: YEAR FIVE, a brand new volume of Check, Please! will be serialized in 2026. #omgcp 🏒🥧💕

The most chilling thing about #Severance is that they're forcing Milchick to put the paper clips on with the big part in the front. The small part going in the front would be my "There are four lights" moment. #resist

Even though Rubio promised life-saving aid wouldn't be interrupted, it has essentially been halted worldwide, interrupting HIV and TB treatment and threatening millions of lives. People are dying today because of these chaotic, inconsistent stop work orders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

We can fix things. It's about changing your focus. If every one of us goes out and fixes something, the world will be better today than it was yesterday. And if everyone treats each other like human beings deserving of love and respect, plans of mass hate cannot succeed.

the word of the day is “kuebiko,” a feeling of being overcome with exhaustion at all the world’s horrors and a sense of resignation at your own inability to fix things.

It's kinda funny how John Green has to constantly fight against book banners misrepresenting his work and intentions, and needs to make videos every few years explaining how Looking For Alaska is not porn And Hank just has people questioning if you can, in fact, slam your boob in a door

What's an opinion you have that would make a bunch of people angry? Write it down in a notebook called, "Why would I want to make a bunch of people angry right now?" and then close that notebook and have some tea.
