15 thoughts on Heated Rivalry - SPOILERS

I watched Heated Rivalry recently and chatted about it with great friends--some of the thoughts may be borrowed from them! SPOILERS ABOUND!

  1. I MUST read the books written Rachel Reid (at least some of them as I think they're like 7?)
  2. One of the reasons I want to read some of the books is I want to know more about what was happening during the chunks of time the show skips over
  3. The lead actors have amazing chemistry (and I love that they're also close off-screen)
  4. It is too funny to me that the Canada Media Fund contributed $3.1 million to the series and that, in addition to the federal funding, the series received tax credits ("Not to make a joke, but we got a lot of bang for our buck," - Canada's Culture Minister Marc Miller)
  5. This show portrays yearning so convincingly
  6. Even though this is fully fictional, I still felt sad at the time Ilya and Shane lost by hiding from their feelings
  7. Also, even though it's fictional, it has been so heartwarming to see the real impact it's having (e.g. "'Heated Rivalry' star Hudson Williams surprises real-life hockey player who came out")
  8. It's so great that Ilya's bisexuality is treated as bisexuality (meaning the show does not suggest that he "picked a side" when he chose to be with Shane)
  9. I love the hurt/comfort trope, so, personally, I would've loved a longer scene after Shane is rushed to the hospital
  10. I don't think of myself as a prude or as easily scandalized, but my eyebrows did raise at the level of explicit scenes this show had (not a bad thing, to be clear, just a little surprising)
  11. One of the sweetest moments on the show (for me) was when Elena is (essentially) giving Scott a shovel talk, but pivots to say that Kip deserves sunlight, and so does Scott
  12. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and cannot wait for another season
  13. I could absolutely get on board with a Rose/Svetlana ship
  14. I'm down a fan rabbit hole of memes and my algorithm has learned that (happy to send you what I've accumulated, just lemme know)
  15. I know that I will soon go down a different fun rabbit hole of fanvids (happy to send you what I'll accumulate, just lemme know)

(Prompt by me)

Heated Rivalry, Crave

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
