despite the fandom, and the discourse, and the general nonsense surrounding the outcome of this show, Heated Rivalry has produced a positive change in my life like nothing else ever has, encouraging me to take up consistent self-care tactics, re-examine creative goals and priorities and leading me to permanently delete twitter off my phone. this shit means something to me man. I can't explain it either, but I'm grateful, and I was a better person coming out of this show than I was going in. That's real.

This show has been magical for me, and as long as I stay off Twitter I've had some really lovely, meaningful discussions about it. ❤️

This show has helped me work through my own trauma’s related to being deeply closeted - despite it being 12 years since I came out.

This line is one of my favorites from the song, and this artwork embodies the lake beautifully.

Twitter is the only place making the show out to be anything other than the wonderful piece of media that it is. I’m glad you’re free from it too, don’t let them stop you from loving what is an amazing show that means a lot to you and to tons of others!

This is gorgeous 😍 A peaceful and joyous moment in their lives. Good on you for taking that step to get rid of Twitter. It's honestly the best thing I've done for my own mental health and self care. We don't need hatefulness pushed at us. We can embrace joy and hope and thrive in a tough world.

I'm so glad that Heated Rivalry has given you so much, and that it hasn't been tainted by the absolutely insanity that happens on Twitter. Luckily, I seem to be completely avoiding it but I know it's still out there, someday I'll be able to delete the app.. that's just sadly how I keep up with everyone I know 😔 This is absolutely gorgeous, and I do hope you maaaaybe add it to your shop down the line mayhaps 🥺 Thank you for graciously giving some of the most delectable Hollanov art for me to devour and hoard.

Love the colors and textures and light, this is beautiful!! And congrats on all the unexpected good things you got out of watching the gay hockey show 💖

Holly

This is so gorgeous!! This show has helped me try to do new hobbies, exercise more, and has inspired me to open myself up to new things. This show is life changing! Congrats on getting rid of Twitter, it really messed with my mental health when I had it.

This artwork is absolutely gorgeous! This show has had such a positive impact in my life and I'm glad that so many people feel safer to exist in the sunshine ☀️

I had a similar experience after reading the books. I started working out and finally got the mental kick in the ass I needed to start writing again. Your art was the main reason I developed any interest in reading those books and I couldn’t be happier I did.

Я ТЕБЯ ЛЮБЛЮ❤️❤️❤️

glitterykoi

I love the books! They have also encouraged me to actually take better care of myself. Even having my first anxiety management session last week. Beautiful artwork 😍👏

Chelsea Hogan

I'm glad it's had such a positive effect on you. The pieces of art that move us and change us are wonderful things!

m sage

there's so much good within this show and book series if you ignore all the people being weirdos about it, so glad you found joy and creativity through a show so many of us love!! and your fanart for it is stunning ❤️

eri

yes!!! it was such a meaningful show for me as well, and i hate how bad the fandom has become :( your mafia au really inspired me to start writing fanfics again so id like to thank you :) this piece is so sweet too

Olivia Hoover

I’ve never had Twitter, and it’s amazing how all this “fandom drama” is somehow invisible to me, how strange. All I see is what I choose to see, which is amazing artists, great writers, and the actors and creators who made the show itself possible in the first place. This “fandom drama” IS NOT REAL. Our fandom IS NOT BAD. Leave the bad spaces. Just go. Nothing is keeping you there. Escape. Be free. More people need to do as you have done ❤️

Commoner

The show came at a time where I couldn't really see any way straightforward and it literally gave me hope and a catharsis to cry to. And the fandom/showing it to my friends gave me a stronger sense of community, so I understand completely

Kit Logar

At first I didn’t pay much attention to the Heated Rivalry. I was thrilled that an LGBTQ positive show was doing well, but my wife and I are not interested in sports. And then I got to see clips on YouTube, where I found your art too, and holy fucking shit. Shane Hollander makes me feel Seen. I’m not male, or an athlete, but I am queer and autistic and this show freaking nails all the issues going on with that, and that’s before we even get to Hudson’s phenomenal acting. Anyway, sorry for the rambling. I love your work. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Firstly what a gorgeous piece! I love the choice of the greens and that fabulous bright blinding light, feels like passion and joy and that complete consuming love. And secondly, it's heartening to hear that HR has had a positive transformative effect for you, despite what else might be happening in the fandom.

Threads is way better. Come join us

There is zero fandom drama outside of xitter. Don’t forget that 51% of all comments there are now done by bots. And they are run by homophobic bigots who want to destroy our happiness. Leave xitter and have a happier life. I’m so glad you’re getting such a positive result. ❤️

Your art recently made me want to watch this, and dear lord im so happy I did! The end nearly made me cry. So fucking cute, and your art style does them quite a bit of justice. Next step is reading the book!
