Fan Art Friday: Heated Rivalry by moonbeam13, journal
Fan Art Friday: Heated Rivalry
This week’s Fan Art Friday is turning up the heat with Heated Rivalry, the beloved hockey romance by Rachel Reid. From stolen glances across the rink to years of tension that refuse to cool, this story gave us one of the most unforgettable rivalries in romance.
The chemistry between Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov is electric, complicated, and impossible to ignore. What starts as competition on the ice becomes something far more intense behind closed doors. Whether you fell for the sharp banter, the secret meetings, or the slow unraveling of two guarded hearts, this series has given fandom plenty to scream about.
Time to celebrate your favorite moments, scenes, and interpretations through fan art!

“You’re my favorite,” Ilya whispered.
“I’m not ashamed of this. I’m not ashamed of you.” - Shane
Rivalries this heated don’t just stay on the page -- they leap off it. This week, we’re celebrating the art, the angst, and the sparks that make Heated Rivalry

Fan Art Friday - The Magicians by moonbeam13, journal
Fan Art Friday - The Magicians
Fillory is calling! This week’s Fan Art Friday is dedicated to The Magicians, the beloved TV series inspired by Lev Grossman’s novels. From Brakebills classrooms to spell-casting chaos, complex friendships, and worlds that refuse to stay neatly separated, The Magicians has inspired artists to explore magic that’s messy, emotional, and deeply human. We’re showcasing fan art that captures the heart, humor, and heartbreak of the series.
“Did I do something brave to save my friends, or did I finally find a way to kill myself?”
— Quentin Coldwater
“Life is basically a solo sport. But sometimes you need a team.”
— Eliot Waugh
Whether you fell in love with the characters, the worlds, or the beautifully broken way magic works, the fandom continues to keep The Magicians alive through art. Thank you to everyone sharing their passion, creativity, and love for this series because magic may not fix everything, but art helps us feel it all.

Literature
Hera! No alas .. .
La science sacralisée ,
loin d’être un rempart contre l’obscurantisme,
n’est bien souvent qu’une religion parmi tant d’autres.
Heureusement pour l’humanité,
les planètes n’ont nul besoin de résoudre des équations complexes
pour rester fidèles à leur orbite.
Je comprends ton enthousiasme, et le partage souvent,
mais la science ne régit pas le monde :
elle en propose une description,
avec une imprécision abyssale,
à la mesure même de notre ignorance.
L’art,
celui qui réunit Tekhnè et Mimèsis,
ne serait-il pas, finalement, la clé de voûte du sens de la vie?
Peut-être…
à la condition d’ajouter Héra aux neuf muses olympiennes.
All you need is art…
Contemplation, Créativité, Audace et Humilité…
art is all you need.
[DEVIATION]
Sacralized science,
far from being a safeguard against obscurantism,
is often nothing more than one religion among many others.
Fortunately for humanity,
planets have no need to solve complex equations
to remain faithful to their orbit.

Nothing artificial is intelligent by squibblyquill, literature
Literature
Nothing artificial is intelligent
For you, for myself
I'd take up the exercise
of verse
But these days
They've got mechanical eyes
On everything
Sucking out the seconds
Flushing out the sounds
Draining every last inch of individual variation
Milking it for the mean
And making money
While we struggle to reach each other
Over a sea of slop and static
Reader you helped make me
But I can no longer serve you as I wish
Take this dish
And eat it before the electric dogs find us
