Hockey fans- I have a question. I'm writing a Heated Rivalry fanfic, and I need to know what prize players get when they win an All Stars skills competition. Is it a trophy, a medal, a cash prize..? For some reason my internet searches are failing me.

In case you need something to look forward to... In season 2 of Heated Rivalry, we're going to see Connor Storrie acting with puppies.

The Minneapolis council member on the front lines of the resistance to ICE • Minnesota Reformer When heavily-armed federal agents and Minneapolis police officers surrounded a Lake Street taco shop in June, Minneapolis City Council Member Jason Chavez was incensed.  “This is completely wrong,” Ch...

I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE.

“To leave your constituents to face off with a racist fascist regime on their own, without having someone that has some power…I could not let my constituents be out there alone.”

"The reason I wanted to make [Heated Rivalry] is because it’s a love story and it ends happily. I don’t want to traffic in queer trauma. I want to traffic in queer joy."

It's been a loooong time since I've let myself trust a showrunner like this.... But Jacob Tierney, I will follow you anywhere. 🥹

I haven't posted a fic since 1/1/2018, but every once in a while I get struck by inspiration and can't rest until it's on the page. Y'all are gonna love this one shot. 🥹

I'm writing Hollanov fic at work because of course I am.......... The typing makes it sound like I'm hard at work. There's a life hack for you.

Hollanov 🥺

This is a very specific post that I am living for right now, I was instantly transported back to 2017

Into the Midnight Wood by Alexandra McCollum I know I said romcomantasy.

*bangs on table*

ROMCOM PROTAGONISTS SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT ASSHOLES

I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL

I literally read 5 books and ~1903 pages of the Game Changers series in nine days. (DNF'ed Common Goal and just skimmed for the Ilya scenes, so not counting that one...) This series is obviously the source material but it also has major fanfic vibes, so no wonder I was able to zoom through it 😂

Just to be clear... I'm not posting about current events as much bc tbh shouting into the void makes me feel terrible. I'm trying to make my account more of a bright spot in your timeline. But that doesn't mean I'm not doing everything I can irl. Get involved in mutual aid. Call your reps. Protest.

I'm just living in the Heated Rivalry feed because my main feed is all terrible news and I just can't with the doomscrolling anymore

Shane from Heated Rivalry might be one of the most nuanced autistic characters that I've ever seen in a TV show I can't believe mental disabilities have gotten this far in representation

It feels like I'm screaming into the void with this thread but idc because THE PLANE SCENE. It was good in Role Model, but seeing it from Ilya's perspective has wrecked me.

AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED AFTER OBVIOUSLY

Anyway I haven't binge-read an entire book in a single day in foreveeerrr I love TLG 🥹

Now reading The Long Game (finalllyyy) and oh my god Connor and Hudson are gonna be acting their hearts out in season 2. And that scene with the kids??? 😭😭🥹❤️

a young man with curly hair looks at the camera Alt: A gif of Ilya Rozanov smiling and then it fades to a dog smiling the exact same smile. I wasn't expecting this gif when I searched his name, but it was too perfect not to use lol

Things are bad, so... If you want to see Ilya Rozanov being THE MOST ADORABLE with a puppy, read Role Model. I'm meltiiiing 🥹

We're fully funded now!!!

We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and kindness. This is a message my friend sent a couple days ago. To everyone who donated/shared, you have quite literally saved her life. 🥹

One of the best people on this site!!! Go follow her, love you Manders ❤️❤️❤️

YOOOOOOOO!!! 🌻🌻🌻

Also kinda wanna make a video called "shane hollander being an autistic disaster for 10 minutes" because my boy was really like BABE WAKE UP I NEED TO TELL YOU THE 10 YEAR PLAN FOR OUR FUTURE

Feels SO GOOD to be vidding again. I really missed it. Just kinda fell out of it due to my pesky full time job ugh capitalism

Uh ohhh everything is working flawlessly and now I'm in full on Autistic Hyperfocus mode and I'm ignoring my wife 😅

Just gonna leave this here...

We are $260 away from getting this goal COMPLETELY FUNDED! We might actually get this done *today* I'm so overwhelmed by everyone's generosity and kindness 🥹

To the WONDERFUL person who just sent me $800, from the bottom of my heart, *thank you* 😭🥹❤️

The way the Twin Cities community has rallied around my friend is giving me hope on this very dark day.

Including today's matching funds goal of $300, we are now sitting at $2410 / $2670!!!!!!!

Taking my mind off everything and dusting off my 14-year-old desktop computer and the equally as ancient video editing software on it. Gonna try to vid Shane/Ilya. It's been 2.5 years since I touched this software, but at this point I think it's muscle memory 🥰
