Happy Thursday! 

Stan Twitter felt a little more chaotic than usual this week, so I’ve recapped recent events here. These include beef between Heated Rivalry fans and Club Chalamet, BTS Army’s latest strategy for ticket buying, and Harry Styles stans indiscernible reviews of "Aperture."

Club Chalamet has been denied entry to the Hudcon fandom

Hudcon fans, or those dedicated to Heated Rivalry stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, appear to have blocked Simone Cromer, AKA famed superfan Club Chalamet, from starting her own stan account for the actors. 

Stan Twitter (X) was abuzz with the news that Cromer hard launched her new devotion to Storrie. She announced a fan account on Instagram called Storrie Times, which would also occasionally (lol) post about Williams. Many viewed it as her shifting allegiances, like when she pivoted from being a Michael Fassbender stan to becoming Timothee Chalamet’s No. 1 fan. 

Cromer said she started the page because she was “repulsed from the immature discourse surrounding Heated Rivalry and the lead actors and supporting actors.” She’s not wrong about this. People have been extremely weird toward them! I don’t think her fandom, which is notoriously parasocial and intense, will help with that though.

These boys have reached a stratospheric level of fame in such a short time that it even got Miss Club herself — who has a day job on top of running Club Chalamet like the Navy, mind you! — motivated to run another update account. That’s beautiful. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to see it quite yet because Hudcon accounts appear to have mass reported Storrie Times. The Instagram page is currently down — and they did it while Cromer was preparing for Chalamet’s Oscar nominations. Gotta love the drama. Cromer said she’d make a new account later this week and I can’t wait to see if this one sticks.
