hey is the excitement over enough for me to admit that i did not really enjoy heated rivalry. which is to say
i actively dislike the books they're written quite shittily (to me) (also the amount of racism RR gets away with by writing ""race-blindly"" she fails at this horribly with her writing of shane and yuna esp in consideration with their incidentally-written neurodivergence but that is a separate post)
the show is watchable but dialogue is actual shit except for 4 shining moments everyone gifsets anyway
i like the concept, plot, characters & themes. it fails in presentation. anyway this is why i'm glad it's caught fire on ao3 even if it means a lot of people are discovering ao3 BECAUSE of HR are pieces of shit even coleydoesthings had to vaguepost as being pieces of shit.
HR just has a supernatural problem. its concept is goated as fuck but executed middlingly to badly with <10 shining bits.
