Watched Episode 5 of Heated Rivalry last night after work, and I think this one might be my favorite episode after Episode 3 (which I know people dislike/hate but I found it charming and heartbreaking).

Also this is the SECOND time I'm trying to type this out since I apparently shut down my computer without making sure post actually posted? Did that make sense? Whatever. I remember clicking Post but it was also like 4am and I was tired AF. I am so angry at myself for fucking that up. I had tons of links to gifs (now you have to go to Tumblr to find them) and fanvids (shockingly very little? at Youtube).... UGH. I suck.

No actual spoilers unless you don't want to know my reactions to certain episodes.

You know how book-to-screen adaptions usually suck? I don't think Heated Rivalry has that problem. If anything, I think the show enhances the books for me. Like you get more in-depth with the characters thoughts in the books obviously since they aren't doing any voice-overs for any of the episodes for the characters which I'm actually kinda happy about? But I don't normally mind that in shows/movies. But I have what happened in the books in the back of my head filling the missing moments/scenes in the show (namely the end of Episode 4). And if you go back and read the books, you can see faces behind the characters. The actors are doing pretty good with acting through the quiet moments, that I almost dismissed them in Episode 1 since I was so awkward with it. Honestly they haven't changed that much from book-to-screen adaptation, only smallish stuff that I probably wouldn't even notice if they aren't brought up. I'm really enjoying the gifs on Tumblr that show snippets of the book.

Anyway, I have since read the audiobooks for all the books (minus Game Changer aka Scott/Kip's story - man that accent is really tripping me, see previous post for more details). And let me just say I WANT ALL THE CHARACTERS STORIES to appear in Season 2 (or beyond if we get more than 2 seasons but if they only mainly focus on Heated Rivalry & The Long Game books, it would probably only be 2 seasons). I know people hated Episode 3 mainly because it switched main characters to Scott & Kip and made Ilya & Shane the background characters, but I don't care or maybe it's because I've read the books that I'm actually want to see Scott/Kip, Eric/Kyle, Ryan/Fabian, and Troy/Harris stories. That or I'm used to a larger "main cast" which would contain multiple couples so adding other couples doesn't scare me? Well that and the other couples stories are also SO connected within the universe and hell Ilya and/or Shane makes an appearance in their stories that I feel like they could tie them in.

Ilya might be my favorite character in the series though, and Season 2 will probably gut me.

Episode 1 was a lot like watching fanfic(I was reading the comments at [community profile] tv_talk and they described it as such which fair honestly)/smut book (which yeah definitely) & I experienced a lot of second-hand embarrassment throughout it (I would be like Shane, but like worse? I can't flirt for shit and I don't even know how I would handle someone flirting with me - honestly, I'd probably wouldn't notice unless someone like Ilya does what he did & even then I might just laugh it off as a joke). I didn't watch it with anyone but myself & my cats (when they actually cuddled with me) so I shouldn't have felt embarrassed but I felt like this even with other rom-coms & other shows before (even non-sexual moments). I can't quite explain it, like I get embarrassed for the characters?

I don't think it was until Episode 2 & 3 that I actually fell for the show though. And maybe it helps that I was sorta already familiar with the characters (through Role Model aka Troy/Harris's story) and began listening to the books before Episode 4 premiered so I was prepared for what's happened and what's going to happen. Episode 5 made me so happy despite nearly making me cry during certain scenes (oh god THOSE scenes) and had me exploding with fucking happiness by the end of it (I scared the shit out of my cat with how much exited clapping I was doing). The fact that I didn't cry is a shock to me (usually I'm a mess anymore and I cry very easily).

I cannot WAIT for Episode 6.

BUT the worse part of Episode 6 is that it'll be released while I'm at my sister's house, so I have to go find a spot hidden away from her family and my parents and watch it. It's not even the sex scenes that I'm worried about. No it's more like the fact that is a "gay show". My sister knows I'm bi but she's more of a "love the sinner, hate the sin" person (even though I think if it was pre-Grad school & pre-marriage I think she would've been more open, or maybe I just imagined that) which I love her but I find is such a bullshit response and I don't even know what my parents would react like (I would say they would've been supportive a few years ago {again maybe I just imagined that}, but ever since my mom got more religious {she would literally start praying during High Potential show during the gay storylines that appeared in Season 1 and my dad said something along the lines it's against the church/pope/God} within the last few years I don't think they are exactly supportive if you know what I mean. They'd probably still love me {especially since I have no love life to speak of}, but I've been told by my sister and my aunt to not tell them... so yeah.) I don't even know if my brother would think/react (I mean he's from a younger generation; we're thirteen years apart after all, but I don't know - that doesn't always mean anything). It sucks. I can only really be me with a few select people and even than I don't even get to talk about it or hang out with those people much to actually be me.

Sorry, anyway - I haven't read any fics really for the show, so I don't have any recs it yet since I figured I'd wait until after Episode 6 to start reading, although if have any recs, please feel free to direct me to them.

Ok I'm posting this before I lose it again.

Edit: Adding some fanvids recs:

Joined Comics Fanfiction Authors Archive this past week and got about 38 works posted there already. I think I only have a few more works to really add to it, but that's going to have to wait until next time. They only allow comics and animated universes there - no MCU obviously or X-Men Movies I assume so I have less stuff to add than what I do for AO3. If you're interested in joining the archive, check out the rules & then ask for an invite via their Discord.

Going away to my sister's house next week for the holidays, so I'm both looking forward to that and not looking forward to it. I hate the drive (8+ hours) and I'll miss sleeping in my own bed with my cats. But I am looking forward to seeing my sister, her kids, and all the cooking/food we'll have. *fingerscrossed* Everything goes well.

I'll probably be busy doing my icon challenges this week before I leave when I'm not packing or cleaning, or at least that's my plan. Maybe I'll do some writing for challenges while I'm there. 

Anyway some new shows/fandoms I checked out:

Heated Rivalry - saw the recommendation by [personal profile] impala_chick and I noticed it trending on Tumblr so I figured I'd look it up and guess what? I actually read one of the books that the TV series is based on but a later one (Role Model - book 5, and Time to Shine - which might not be set in the same universe but whatever), so of course I had to check it out immediately and got lucky with three episodes to binge. It was very good, but also weird? I had such secondhand embarrassment happening in that first episode (but that's probably just me). I love all the characters - Shane, Illya, Scott, Kip - and fell immediately for Shane/Illya & Scott/Kip. Watched episode 4 Friday after work, and ugh it's heartbreaking just like the book. Two more episodes (and ANOTHER SEASON?!?!? YES!!!)

So after watching the first three episodes I quickly bought/downloaded the audiobooks for Game Changer (book 1), Heated Rivalry (book 2 - already bought actually), Tough Guy (book 3), Common Goal (book 4), and The Long Game (book 6) and just because The Shots You Take (another M/M hockey romance). Managed to listen & finish Heated Rivalry and The Long Game - so I KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT, lol. I did start Game Changer, but the guy that did the audiobook decided to do a [bad??? or is just bad to me???] New York accent for Kip which immediately takes me out and has me cringing through most of it, so I'm like 31% through that which sucks because I LOVED their episode SO FREAKING MUCH. Also the actor that plays Scott reminds me so much of Ioan Gruffudd (like certain scenes especially). But anyway, Role Model (book 5) focuses on Troy/Harris and I remember loving that book (gave it 5 stars on goodreads), I'm going to have to re-read that book and I just read Time to Shine (gave it 4 stars) with Landon/Casey this September. Anyway, to kinda get me through Friday, I decided to start Common Goal (book 4) with Eric/Kyle and so far - 38% through it - I'm loving it. Probably going to finish that one and then start Tough Guy (book 3) with Ryan/Fabian and hell probably even The Shots You Take before finishing the Scott/Kip book (again only because that accent, 'cause otherwise I think I would love the book). Usually I like to read books in order, but like I apparently did not care this time - lol. Actually I think those two books were on sale at Libro.fm.

I like the book series, but hell I love basically all the Hockey Romance books I've read so far anyway... even though I know NOTHING about the sport except for the fact that there are two teams I know of the Flyers and the Mighty Ducks. I loved Mighty Ducks movies & animated series and I remember enjoying the movie Goon, but I think that's about it for knowledge. I feel like I could probably get into it more compared to the other sports? But probably won't. I should really do a list here of exactly how many books I've read that are Hockey Romance, lmao. Feel free to suggest any if you liked any.


Maxton Hall - The World Between Us  - Season 2 was released last month, finally got around to watching it last night. I think I'm halfway through it? It's oddly addictive, I almost pushed through to finish it last night but I was ready to fall asleep on the couch so I figured that would be bad. Now I do love James/Ruby (even though James is a fuck up) but I also love the idea of Ruby/Lydia this season, which I know isn't going to happen but still. Lydia's actress kinda reminds me a bit of Holland Roden (weirdly enough Lydia of Teen Wolf).

Realized I haven't really done a personal or semi-personal post in a while, since I've mostly been posting to [community profile] tv_talk for any show discussions and mainly just posting fics for [community profile] xmen100  and [community profile] mcu100, I'll start posting here with my TV comments again, just so I have them in one place again.

Well I officially got the diagnosis of carpal tunnel of my wrists & elbows (didn't even know it could go up to the elbow) so yay? At least I got the official diagnosis and not just wondering if I'm just making up in my head. The doctor said I should be okay without surgery for now unless I want it to happen, otherwise my next check up with him is in six months. (Or sooner if it gets worse) I guess between working my full time job (plus part-time job) and spending time at home on the computer within the last few months made my symptoms flare up again - since I feel like it's been ages since it was this bad. Which might be one of the reasons I stopped going on the computer? I can't remember. I think it was just working too much and being too exhausted to go to the basement (where the computer was). However while I was at the appointments I didn't feel any pain or achiness/stiffness/numbness but literally a day later and here's the pain back. FML. That always happens to me.

Also got my first tooth removed since my wisdom teeth like 10+ years ago so dealing with that sucked. Honestly just the anxiety before hand was worse (and the bill). Besides that the taste of blood that for two days and then the bone marrow/blood clot disgusting taste was horrible (I thought I was infected it was so gross). Otherwise I didn't have a lot of pain so that was good. A lot of mashed potatoes and egg sandwiches for the last week.

In other news I joined [community profile] thestoryinside for their October books/buddy exchange - my buddy [personal profile] monkiainen picked The Meg by Steve Alten (horror), Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli (LGBT, contemporary, female author), and The Alienist - Caleb Carr (historical fiction) for me. In return I picked out Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit by Jaye Robin Brown (LGBTQ, contemporary, female author), Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall (LGBTQ, contemporary) and Alien: Echo by Mira Grant (Horror, LGBTQ, female author). I picked out the first two books for them since I really enjoyed them (I have Boyfriend Material in audio & book forms heh^^ & I can't wait for the 3rd book in the series/trilogy? - But I also recommend anything Alexis Hall BTW, I've read/listened to most of them). I'm pretty sure I know where the books I need to grab are (luckily they're from the front of the alphabet so I'm pretty sure they are actually where they are supposed to be). I might actually do the Meg first - I was thinking of maybe doing Leah on the Offbeat first since I technically had it on my TBR pile for ages compared to the other two, but I think Meg is shorter so it might be easier to read? We'll see, I'll try to find them tomorrow so I can start on them.

In other book news, I started to listening to audiobooks again at work since most of my current podcasts don't have enough for me to binge without touching my phone a lot (and since that's a big no-no at work, audiobooks are the way to go since they are USUALLY at least 6+hrs). So far I listened to:
  • The Singles Dads Club (books: The Dare, The Soul Mate, Penthouse Prince, & Only for Tonight) by Kendall Ryan - which were just okay.... I can't really recommend them unless you just want to listen to that type of romance books but if they are super cheap, sure why not. I think they were on sale at libro.fm when I bought them.
  • Zomromcom by Olivia Dade - I really definitely recommend this one! Zombies, Vampires, trolls, fae, and witches included! I really hope this won't be the last supernatural/fantasy novel by Olivia. I think there at least has to be a sequel. I also have the paperbook copy... 'cause just in case.
  • Time to Shine by Rachel Reid - I recommend this if you like MM hockey romance. It's pretty good, longer than you expect so a bit of a slow burn. I identify very heavily with the Landon character which probably makes me like it more than anyone. If only I could find my own Casey. 
  • Heartless by Gena Showalter - Very dark fae romance like super dark, where even I almost stopped a few times from listening/finishing. It has mixed reviews on Goodreads due to that so just beware if you start it. While it was like instant attraction, it was actually a bit of a slow burn for the major of it. I'm still not sure if I want to read the second book... maybe if it goes on sale. 
  • In Charm's Way by Lana Harper - Part of the Thistle Grove book series that I started either last year or this year in paperback but never finished. It's a witch/half-fae romance. It's so weird that this is the third book that dealt with the fae - I feel like I never read those books. Anyway, still haven't finished it yet but probably on Monday since I only five hours left. I definitely recommend the series BTW especially if you like queer romance & supernatural type stuff.
I'm also reading Voidwalker by S. A. MacLean, I'm on chapter 15, it's oddly addictive and unlike trying to read the Orange Priory of last year, the world-building of this book is sooo much better. It helps it's only one POV and not like twenty, but yeah. And yay a monster romance for October. Reading it alongside [community profile] villagewitch so it's kinda like a mini-bookclub. :) 

Worked on [community profile] galorechallenge prompt website this week. Still not complete, but I'm trying. Merging all the Marvel stuff together as well as all the DC stuff together minus the Smallville one, so those pages are going to probably be the last ones worked on. I merged them just because it all the characters are basically set in the same universe anyway and having the MCU/DCEU separate was annoying me. Anyway NEW PROMPTS WILL BE NEEDED so feel free to suggest new ones (even if you don't plan to join in - maybe someone will write them).

Made some icons for [community profile] seasons_of_fandom... I'll have to add those to [community profile] harpieicons eventually. Also participated in a couple challenges (see the Book Title Poetry - previous entry).

Anyway that's it for now, since I have to get to some sleep.

Meme came from like LJ 2008 era by [personal profile] revivingophelia so I don't know if this list is accurate anymore but whatever.

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well let's see.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.

Did I read most of the above for school? Yes, yes I did... except for Harry Potter, Da Vinci Code & Jane Austen stuff, that was for pleasure. But technically I've read more than 6, but just barely - yay me?

If anyone is reading this and have Book Bingo/Challenges suggestions, feel free to suggest away! Like I said in the previous post, some of Book Goals for 2025 is to tackle my some of my TBR pile. I figure if I add something fun to do with them, it might go faster.

In 2024:


I Read: how many books in 2024? 81 (according to Goodreads, but I think there was at least four I may have DNF & reviewed, I did also start a bunch of books I did not finish & did not review yet on Goodreads)
My Reading Goal: did you have a goal, and how do you feel about it? End goal was 100, but I always start at 25 & if I pass that, go up by 25... So I did do past 75 but kinda gave up throughout the year at various times (mainly because I couldn't focus enough to read? Or just wasn't feeling it).
I Challenged Myself: did you do any reading challenges? how did you do? did you like it? I did join a bookclub for the first time and I absolutely loved it (minus the books that got picked, they ended up being fairly terrible) but it was nice doing something with people again. Sadly the bookclub broke up so I'm not part of any anymore.
A New Genre I Attempted: did you try a new genre, and if so, how did you feel about it? I'm usually more intro romance genre (and the various subcategories of those plus Marvel/DC graphic novels) but we did try a more Fantasy-focused genre in the bookclub (Book: The Priory of the Orange Tree) which I absolutely hated. Not for the fantasy aspects but more for the too much details that don't matter and way too many point of views - it was just too much for me. I was doing the audio version say maybe that was why but I just won't try that one again.
An Author New-to-me in 2024 I Really Enjoyed: Lana Ferguson, Elle Rivers, Natalie Cana, and Anita Kelly
My Favorite Book of the Year: Tie between 10 Things That Never Happened by Alexis Hall and Funny Story by Emily Henry
Books I Read in 2024 That I Recommend: Contractual Obligations by Elle Rivers, Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly, The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare, A Proposal They Can't Refuse by Natalie Cana, Text Book Romance by Kristen Bailey, and Best Laid Plans by Roan Parrish (plus all the Alexis Hall and Emily Henry books which I have also read and really enjoy)

In 2025:


My Reading Goal: do you have a goal, and how do you feel about it? I'm going to start with 25 and hope to get 100. I mostly want to tackle my in-house TBR pile & maybe do some fun reading challenges.
I'm Going to Challenge Myself: do you plan on doing any reading challenges? Not sure... there's a Book Bingo that I like the idea of (I did substitute a few prompts). See if there are any other book clubs I could maybe join.
My TBR List: do you have one for 2025? how long is it? any plans? 1051 according to Goodreads.... lol. Sooo hopefully I'll tackle the ones I actually have in my house first.
Books I'm Especially Interested in Reading in 2025: Tackling my Marvel & DC books I haven't read already would definitely be amazing. But I'd say tackling at least at least 5-10% of my TBR pile would be amazing.
A Book Coming Out in 2025 That I'm Excited About: n/a (probably any books from authors I enjoy but I haven't looked)
Other Book-Related News for 2025 I'm Interested In: n/a
