it's a little sad that people expect songs to always reflect the lives of the lyricist and not a sign of the lyricist's strong imagination.

you don't know mitski. you don't know hozier. kate bush did not witness a murder of a hammer horror star and take their role as the hunchback of notre dame (it would be fun if she did though)

i haven't really listened or liked any t-swift song since she switched to pop (nothing against pop, judas by lady gaga 4ever) but I think the funniest thing she could do rn is write a vague song that sounds like she murdered someone and feels guilty, but doesn't want people to know because she's famous, and watch everyone go insane with theories

I have GREAT news for you about the song Out of the Woods by Taylor Swift

[throwupgirl-deactivated20240906]

i tohught you were joking?????

[doesthiscountastherapy]

my legacy 🫶 also @ everyone mentioning no body, no crime or anything off folklore & evermore: I was aware of those albums however op asked about vague murderous guilt leading to a conspiracy theory by fans not explicit murder, I had the only correct answer thank you and goodnight 🙂‍↕️

omfg OpalApparition removed all her non-Heated Rivalry works from her AO3 and stopped allowing comments??? Which is absolutely her right to do but this looks like she’s never coming back:( I am so grateful Opal left those works up, but also (and not to be so presumptive here because she could come back if she wanted to but this is really a very strong look that she will not be doing so) I can’t imagine what it must be like to lose an outlet like that. I really feel for her. Selfishly, I am very sad it looks like the chances of us ever getting more of her Heated Rivalry works are gone. (A lottt of ppl have been commenting asking for updates, so I get her choice, and she deserves to make it, and I can’t imagine how much negativity she was getting tbh this fandom is vile to authors) The removal of her works for other fandoms makes her account look to be like a graveyard to her public hollanov works. I had been keeping hope that maybe in a few years she would share again (and she could!) but realistically this is a pretty clear sign that this is it. I am so sad. (Opal, if you by some chance see this I completely respect you and your choices, I just wanted to rant on my very rarely seen page, and I hope you’re well)

[pris--sy]

her Heated Rivalry fics are AI slop and it has been proven, and she pretty much admitted it to a long time friend who was editing Wolfbird to turn it into an original work for publication. Stop the fucking dickriding already oh my godddddd.

[doesthiscountastherapy]

you can literally tell from my addition to this post that I didn’t know about the AI stuff (I’ve also been looking for proof of that admittance if anyone has more on that). you legit just came on here to insult me and then turned off replies??? I have like no followers and get an average of 1 note per post and you’re calling me that for venting about a fanfic author on my own page?? take your holier than thou energy and fuck off

WHO THE FUCK WAS ACCUSING HER OF AI

Opal it is so clear to anyone with a brain that you wrote all your works yourself I hope you DO see this comment you do not deserve those egregious allegations those ppl are miserable idiots

Heated Rivalry Week 2026 | Day 1: Favorite Episode | Episode 4 + text posts

[lavenderprose]

The thing about Hollanov is that they are constantly having nasty mean sex and Shane is like, yeah. That’s great that’s normal. As long as they kiss Shane is like Okay :) Yay :) Thanks Rozanov, see you in a few months. Stands up straightens his clothes and walks out the door and that’s it. Somewhere behind him Ilya is staring at the ceiling. Reeling.

Then they go to that god forsaken cottage and they have the kind of face-to-face under the blankets condomless sex that even the Pope couldn’t disapprove of and Shane is crying. Gnashing his teeth. Losing his fucking mind. The emotional release is fucking agony. Ilya says you are perfect you are beautiful and you are MINE and Shane almost safewords. Ilya says I’m making love to you do you like it do you like it when I make love to you and the bedsheets are tangled around Shane’s ankles and he feels like he’s going to die. Ilya says Shane Shane Shane and to Shane it’s the most perverted thing he has ever fucking done.

I don't want you to think she was weak. I don't. She wasn't. She was so funny and beautiful. She was so sad. And my dad was so hard on her.

dude what do you meannnn he won the stanley cup and he got the mvp award and he got a penthouse suite with the best vodka america has to offer and he got his crush to act out his porny daddy dom fantasy with just a squeeze of the chin and a few gruff words but at the end of the night he stillllll has to go back to russia for the summer and he doesn’t feel powerful or successful he feels hollow and to add insult to injury this guy who he’s tried to just be a hookup to is the first person maybe ever who has earnestly asked him if his family is even nice to him. what do you mean what do you meannnn

shane + asking for what he wants

[ticklefighthockey]

but at what point within the episode 4 situationship sex montage does shane wake up in a cold sweat after having a nightmare in which ilya is also carrying on a sexually explicit secret gay situationship with vincent lemaire… all of their memories together but it was vincent not shane… shane realizes when he wakes up that ilya may just be a huge enough slut to have pulled this off not once but twice…

I read this quickly and originally misread it as shane waking up to find himself in a different strand of the multiverse where ilya struck up a secret gay affair with vincent lemaire instead of him… also good lol. but much funnier for shane to wake up and be like oh my god what if he’s banging both of us. what proof do i have that he’s not. what if he’s working his way through the whole draft class

[chaoticpaige]

[ticklefighthockey]

ok also as a follow-up to that ask: I think ilya would have no problem with people knowing but the idea of doing a big splashy coming out announcement would strike him as unbelievably north american and extremely stupid. who cares who he fucks?? do you want an itemized list of every sex act he’s performed too??? I think that, as I’ve said, if he comes out publicly at all it’s by thanking his former teammates and coaches, his fans, and his husband shane hollander in his retirement announcement and then becoming completely unreachable by the media for the rest of his life lol. maximum chaos and zero answers for anyone he’s freeeeee bitches he doesn’t have to talk to you anymore. shane I think would feel immense Pressure to make a statement but in his heart of hearts would be happiest to just do the open secret thing where all his important people know but everyone else just sort of intuits it and never asks directly. it would make him so miserable to be Out and Proud in a super public way and then to be the subject of endless discourse within the hockey world for the rest of his life. they can make a documentary about him being gay 30 years after he dies that’s fine

Heated Rivalry didn’t so much enter the zeitgeist as crash into it. Since its November release, no other series has generated more headlines, word-of-mouth, discourse, or fancams. It has been the subject of a prime-ministerial speech, marketing gold for the National Hockey League, a statement of inclusivity in the Olympic Torch Relay. For two rookies and a veteran, it also turned out to be a star-maker.
