Hey friend you dont have to reply to this i just wanted to warn you

Some people have screenshotted your latest post and are spreading it on twitter with made up misinformation ( solo stuff you know how they get) so maybe you should close up your inbox just in case

Hi dear🌸 thank you.

Waking up this morning to over 200 notifications, I realized unfortunately some of them might contain bad things. But I never imagined there would be people in my inbox writing things like "I hope you die soon." FOR WHAT?

For loving both of them so much?

You know, I did Connor's career reading a few days after Hudson's, but I didn't want to share it. Because I knew people (especially solo fans) would compare the two and misunderstand everything. I'll even share some messages I sent to my friend 3-4 weeks ago.

How can you fabricate a lie, based on my previous post, that I said Hudson would fail, even though I repeatedly stated in my career analysis for Hudson that he would be very, very successful? How? I can't understand it! Does saying he'll miss Connor mean Hudson will work less? Do you have such a lack of understanding? If you truly knew them, you'd understand that Hudson, just like now, is someone who knows when to rest while working. But Connor is someone who forgets himself when he's working and unfortunately doesn't make time to rest. That's what I meant when I said there would be a test between them. I didn't say Hudson would be unemployed and waiting for Connor!!

Does saying I see a big project for Connor mean I don't see one for Hudson??? Have you seen my Hudson's Career reading for 2027?

Solo fans are the worst thing happened to this fandom and I'm so glad that I'm not gonna be here for a while.

I'm gonna share my messages from 3-4 weeks ago right now. I KNOW that you're gonna twist this too. But go ahead. I don't care. I know myself. I know how I love both of them equally. You are the miserable ones who hide your own insecurities behind being solo fans.

[holls24]

I’m sorry that you have to clarify any of this. Solos and antis are a toxic blight on this fandom. I frequently see them interpret kind, well-meaning fans in bad faith. They only know how to find ugly meanings that don’t exist.

We know your meaning, and we know your generous intentions and love for both of the boys. Thank you for what you do ♥️

Hi astro-anon 💜

How are you ? This is the first time I’ve posted and I just wanted to say thank you for everything you’re the most peaceful and relaxing blog for the mind. Your posts on Hudcon have made me want to learn more about astrology and thank you for your positive energy it helps so much. I hope the boys will be reunited soon and that good things will happen to them .

You all deserve every one of these kind words ❤ good luck with the end of the school year the hardest part is behind you and a well deserved a rest.

Hi dear 🌸 thank you for your beautiful and kind words.

First of all, I apologize for not being here for so long.

But I was so busy that there were days when I couldn't look at anything else and just worked.

I can't come back here now because I need to move my home to another city. I'm preparing for that. Then I'll have to travel 150 km to work and 150 km back every day. I honestly don't know when I'll be able to post again.🥺

I know you all follow me to see new posts, but life got in the way. I apologize again.🙏🏻

I've already shared the transits for each month up until September.

I also looked at the transits for September, October, November, and December and took notes, but writing it all down could take days. I don't know when I'll be able to do that. I also did some career reading for Connor in 2027. But unfortunately, I haven't been able to write about that yet either.

I wanted to at least write you a few hints. (By the way, a side note: I don't know anything about what's been happening in the last few weeks. I don't know what those comments you wrote saying "what you said also came true" mean.)

●We may see the third-party narrative completely disappear after September.

●By October, we might see Hudson openly showing that he's truly in love, without hiding it from the world.

●As of June, their relationship charts have taken on a very significant placement, almost like a married couple, and this transit will remain for two years.

●I'm expecting a very big project for Connor in 2027. Especially in February and March. It could be a really big project. Also, like Hudson's transits, Connor's transits seem to be heading for huge successes around the time of HR Season 2.

●Their biggest test in 2027 will be missing each other because Connor has been working so hard. This will be a particularly big problem for Hudson. Also we're gonna see Connor will have chemistry with other people so Hudson's gonna claim his man on main more (it's not jealousy arc. It's just possessive star boy)😅

●I've already shared this but Hudson's gonna move like me😅

Please take care🌸 have a good summer 💜

Miss Sassy, I feel like after SNL shift, we have this post CSA shift as well. I know you mentioned that C and H have always mentioned each other whenever they have the chance, so is business as usual for them, but I just feel the vibe is different this time.

Usually H like to bring up C unprompted in a casual jokey manner, like in a bestie way. I feel during the Bell Media upfront event it was different. The 3 times he brought up C was not random or joking. Every mentioned was with context, 1st "seeing Connor", 2nd " European vacation with Connor", 3rd "relationship with Connor". He's not just name dropping for the heck of it.

As for C, remember the way he act during GG when the host showed him the Hudcon calendar, I feel that he was kinda caught offguard and tried to act blase about it. Compare to now the fan showed him hudcon memorabilia and he said "there's Hudson looking sexy as hell". Maybe GG was more high pressure event compare to chatting with fans, so he was acting more freely. We shall put a pin on this. But then him volunteered to pass the fan letter to Hudson, they didn't even ask him btw, he act as if they see each other very often (or staying together🫠), it sounds very domestic and very boyfriend-ly.

All in all, I feel a shift in their behavior when it comes to displaying their connection to the public. I'm hoping that H will appear for Balenciaga event and we can monitor further.. 🫡

You know what? After reevaluating what yall have been saying over the past few days, I think I do agree that the way they're talking about each other in public now is different. And in all the ways you've talked about. They're being more overt and more matter-of-fact about it too. Like it's a fact of life they've gotten used to and are tired of keeping so hush hush. Especially because they already can't see a future without the other and are taking each step in their lives with the other in mind so I can see them being fed up with the secrecy and allowing themselves to be freer about their relationship because I think they're thinking it will come out sooner rather than later anyway...

Here's to them being even more obvious about it soon so that no one can deny it anymore🥂

The little things

There are so many reasons why I believe that Connor and Hudson are a couple.

But one of my favorite things are these little moments/ touches between them.

Because they just seem so natural, so intimate and almost subconsciously/ intuitively. Like they both do not even realize it,because they are simply used to it by now 🤭.

And so they just cannot help it.

This here for example:

The way Connor caresses Hudsons knee🫠. You just know he does that all the time and so he simply forgets they are on camera 🤭

And the same happened at the olympic torch event :

Or this moment:

Look at Hudsons hand before he sits down and the little tender touch he gives Connor...

Also this moment from my post yesterday:

Hudson literally going in for a kiss, because thats just what they usually do🫠.

Muscle memory 🤭.

Also, Connor picking lint from Hudsons shirt, thats just such a couple thing to do:

This here from the quinn interview 👀:

I mean... The ( not really) subtle hand holding...

Their body language here, so couply:

Connor leaning in and giving Hudson a little pinch:

Or them being in their own little world until they realized they were not alone 🤭👀:

We often look for big moments or loud declarations of love, and we get both from them as well, but for me these little moments are so telling- and just so lovely ♥️.

What are your favorite little moments?

Connor Storrie + offline, confused king

[lifelovelaughterlarry]

As promised, I am resending my proposed Hudcon timeline that I sent as an anonymous ask a few weeks ago. It is in line with the massive, fully-sourced Hudcon document shared on yesterday on Twitter. Mine does contain speculation, but it is informed speculation.

I believe that something must have begun to happen during filming. With that level of attraction and soulmate connection, for how long could anyone resist? And I imagine the crew suspected something, but are very protective of them.

A key contributor to my conclusion is this interview with the HR editors, who never set foot on set and lived in the raw footage for months. The most telling info starts at around 14 minutes:

https://cceditors.ca/2026/02/episode-115-heated-rivalry-with-veronique-barbe-cce-arthur-tarnowski-ace-cce/?fbclid=PAdGRleAQOmn5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAaf_0RMm1yiDzCuSYaRNoSkxmceapQo4zFXUqfO5XkR1WOCFDgxPwWr6Extl-Q_aem_ZCjI34GaKFdpWWhqEQvmZA

They could see proof of a deepening connection from the footage itself, with no personal experience of or direct insight into how they acted on set (or when they were alone). They were stunned and impressed by it. That is CRAZY.

The second piece is H’s response to C’s Instagram post after filming wrapped. He still has his old account name, so it is right after filming:

After being attached to each other for months, I don’t think waiting until September for a visit matches H’s promise “I’ll see u soon”.

The third piece is the Vancouver couch-sleeping photo featured in H’s Nov 29th insta photo dump (set to the song “I Will Follow Him”. Connor is sunburned and in shorts and a tank top! My BFF lives in New Westminster, BC and I have visited at all times of year for years. That is not how you dress for fall in BC, especially visiting from the southern US. That is mid-summer attire.

With those details in mind, here is my proposed Hudcon Romantic Relationship Timeline:

Legendary Zoom call (early Feb) - filming prep in Toronto (early April) - a meet cute for the ages (maybe love at first sight?), then insta DM sliding, phone number exchange, FT and texting. There had to be some anticipatory tension before the in-person Toronto meet. H says he “fell in love with Connor as a person” the moment they met in person, freaking out teens and searching the grocery store for coconut cream and chia seeds. Not to mention Connor showing off his exceptional arms in the apartment kitchen, which had to had make the tension even more intense. All the time spent together: rehearsing scenes, discussing their characters, sharing stuff about their lives and dreams, then choreographing intimate scenes - it would be intoxicating.

Filming, which wraps June 10th - a romantic relationship of some sort begins, a foundation is established and planning for future visits (including feasibility of ongoing international relationship) starts.

Late June - Connor films Criminal Minds in LA, and they are in near constant communication. They have to wrestle with obstacles, because they’re poor actors living in different countries at the start of their careers - could it work long term?

July-mid September - based on the “I’m going (to Vancouver) all the time now!” we heard in the extended Teen Vogue interview given on November 11th, and what we observe now of how often they desire to see each other in person, they were spending as much time as they could together trying to figure it out. Couch photo happens on one of those trips.

September Vancouver trip - the public announcement, with boyfriend-shaped photos (C on H’s bed), mutual tagging in posts and songs with romantic lyrics. And they involved Vancouver-resident Christina Chang, who is SUPER protective of them both. They had to eventually archive it for reasons, but that was a deliberate gesture. The whole cast and crew were following them on Instagram so this might have been a way to pass on that message to people who already knew them personally but live in Toronto. The fans who followed them at the time seemed unsure if the pics had something to do with the show or not, so these guys really were hiding in plain sight.

Rest of the fall (including Canadian promo ending Nov 26th) - a long-distance couple in love, increasingly private but not secret, seeing each other as much as possible while juggling work. During the press cycle they are not totally able to control their heart eyes, affection-infused responses, and love struck grins.

US Thanksgiving/show debut and all through December promo - started with spending the holiday together before C left Canada on the 30th, and continued with H’s stay at C’s in mid-December. All the time together leads to an ever-deepening connection in tandem with lots of eyes on them/pressure. There’s strategic positioning of public images, but behind the scenes probably a dawning realization of the importance of their relationship and their desire to prioritize and protect it at all costs.

Note: it got even more impossible for them to hide their romantic relationship during this time. The love was leaking out of their pores in the joint interviews/photoshoots and we have not had a single joint interview since the Quinn one filmed on December 16th (complete with Spanish declarations of love and calling each other husband). The last joint photo shoot was for the NYT on Dec 17th. They cannot be nonchalant at all.

NYE trip - a huge moment, and likely the moment where they made the conscious decision that their love and relationship were for the long term. Their priorities, therefore became (a) diversifying and solidifying their respective careers while simultaneously (b) protecting their relationship at all costs.

Everything we have seen since seems to be in service of the priorities they clarified as 2025 became 2026. They are playing their own version of The Long Game.

I am glad that they have been able to spend both important and quiet moments together so far this year. They seem incandescent with joy together based on the few snippets have seen! Most disgustingly in love people ever (affectionate).

The fact that the HR editors could see proof of a deepening connection from the film footage itself (only when they were in character) is CRAZY!!

I think they definitely did visit over the summer, I don't remember which interview but Connor said he went back and forth a few times despite his fear of flying and knew the flight was 3 hours.

On your timeline:

I'm team love at first sight too! It just has all the requirement in that story, ugh the connection 😭. Is the Hudson quote "I fell in love with Connor as a person" from early on? I thought it was from November press in front of the hockey rink.

Yes feasibility is so important! A long distance international relationship after only knowing each other for a few months, is a big deal and would be careully considered by them.

The September photos were such a hard launch. I love that the fans at the time were a little confused but didn't put it together, their best friends cover really worked all the way back then.

The NYE Trip for discussing the future is a good point! They would definitely have known by then that the show was going places.

Reposting your note because I 100% agree:

Note: it got even more impossible for them to hide their romantic relationship during this time. The love was leaking out of their pores in the joint interviews/photoshoots and we have not had a single joint interview since the Quinn one filmed on December 16th (complete with Spanish declarations of love and calling each other husband). The last joint photo shoot was for the NYT on Dec 17th. They cannot be nonchalant at all.

My Updated HudCon Timeline | Happy Timeline Tuesday!

Met Gala Boyfriends

Now that we're a little over a month out from the Met Gala, I have a few additional thoughts. Because I'm so curious about why Hudcon chose the Met Gala to be the most obvious they’ve been so far. First, I have some general thoughts about Connor and Hudson and their relationship before I move onto the Met Gala itself.

Connor & Soulmates: I think it's so interesting how much importance Connor places on the idea of soulmates. He's commented several times on instantly knowing that Hudson belonged to him and was a part of him cosmically. Connor said Hudson was part of soul family in that one interview and Hudson noticeably got upset at not being Connor's only soulmate 😂, and Connor had to rectify that quickly. It made me think about the language Connor uses with Bailey and how they consider themselves soulmates. Quick example, in the movie Contact with Jodie Foster, I always joke her character got a romantic soulmate in Matthew McConaughey and a platonic soulmate in William Fichtner's character. During a pivotal moment in the movie, they were both there for her character, and I was like she's just greedy having both 🙄🤣. All that to say, when Connor met Hudson, he already had a soulmate for life in Bailey, but I think he was and is still taken by surprise at finding his romantic soulmate in Hudson pretty much at first sight, and the intensity of his feelings for him. That's why some people don't understand, when they wonder about the depths of his feelings for Hudson, they're so big if he openly expressed them all the time the room would be thick with his desire and love for Hudson, and I think that HiTops was a preview of that.

Hudson Being Led/Held: My own personal observation of Hudson is that in relationships with friends and family, he seems to like being doted on, and not in like a selfish way, but like you can see he loves to absorb love from others and be held by them. It makes me think about when Connor and he wrapped on Heated Rivalry and Jacob came over and kissed both of them on the head, Hudson needed more and reached back for Jacob to hug and hold him. When I think of Hudson and Connor together, I think of Connor often leading in their relationship and Hudson enjoying being led. Now, I want to be clear, I'm not saying this as in Hudson likes being subservient, and I know people have had the conversation about Connor being a soft dom. I don't know all of the specifics of that type of dynamic. However, I think that Hudson likes Connor taking the lead when they are doing things as a couple, especially when it comes to PDA as it were. You can see some of that at the Toronto premiere when Hudson pats Connor on his back but then drops his arm, and Connor immediately goes to hold him and rub his back, and Hudson puts his arm back on Connor. And don't get me started on the VF Silver Carpet, with Connor calling Hudson over and Hudson practically sprinting to be held. This is part of why I look at his relationship with K like this 🤔. Because I don't see this behavior changing if Hudson were in a romantic relationship with a woman. We see the way he was sitting in Aika's lap and that's his friend. If, and this is a big if, K was really his woman I would expect him to be sitting in her lap because that's just the vibe I get from Hudson. But nothing 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Alright, now that I've gotten those thoughts out of the way, let me move onto the Met Gala, more specifically the Met Gala After Parties. Pretty much since the SNL After Party, where we didn't get any pictures of Hudcon together, they seem to take advantage of private events, where people aren't going to take a lot of pictures and share them or at least, they can ask people not to. But some of the "cracks" let's say of this plan started to show with the CAA pre-Oscar Party, where it was noted in several publications how close they were all night, and that it didn't go unnoticed by attendees at the event. Which leads us to the Met Gala. Traditionally you don't get a lot of candid/private pictures from inside the event or at the after parties. The big deal is the Red Carpet. But we know professional pictures are taken, bathroom selfies, and other pictures are taken and shared from the event. We got more pictures from the actual Gala of Hudcon then I think many of us expected, and they were wonderful. However, it's when the night moved onto the After Parties that things got interesting.

Couple Behavior: Whether intentional or not, the way almost every publication talked about Hudcon's behavior at the After Parties, sounded like they were writing about Hollywood's newest IT Couple. Not everyone is in the Fandom bubble, where we've read interview after interview, and watched interview after interview, of Hudcon being extremely affectionate with each other and not shying away from it. For a lot of us the Quinn Interview for Ember & Ice was the turning point where their affection seemed extremely charged for people who claim to just be best friends. In particular, the description of them weaving through the crowd holding hands, sitting in each other's laps, and holding "court" on the rooftop together indicate an intimacy that was undeniable to everyone present.

Sexual Behavior: Now onto the nitty gritty, because I think everyone has been afraid to go there because it truly is in the speculation territory, but I think it's important, if we want to talk about the "fallout" after Met Gala. By now most of us have seen this screenshot basically confirming what was described that night, with some interesting additions.

I want to draw attention to two things here. The bathroom visits and the people asking if they were a couple. I'll start with the later as it ties into what I just talked about. Their behavior that night was loud and quite frankly in my opinion the culmination of their behavior during Golden Globes Weekend, at SNL, and at the VF Oscar Party and Madonna's Oscar Party. It was loud enough that people present didn't have a problem acknowledging that they thought they were looking at a couple and seeking confirmation from said couple.

The bathroom visits. I'm sorry there is no way other way to interpret what they got up to in that bathroom TWICE. It's exactly what we think it is. Like I said I know people don't like this particular type of speculation, and you don't have to believe. However, it was shown that the bathroom they were most likely in was a private one within a larger bathroom so make of that what you will. And Hudson more or less showed us what they got up to with that picture of Connor that Tumblr deems mature 🤷🏽‍♀️😏. Despite all of our theories on the nature of their relationship, this behavior was the most explicit so far in hinting without telling. The morning after indicated this as well.

Morning After: Those morning after pictures were something else. As was Hudson's now dubbed "walk of pride" to his car to take him back to his hotel, since he got dropped off at Connor's after they were out to 6 am. There are missing hours from that night, roughly 3:30 am to 6am, just like there are missing pieces of Hudson's clothes. We assumed they were going to have good time and turn up, but I don't think we expected the visuals to match said turning up. Something about Hudson walking through the streets in the early morning looking like he threw on his man's shirt and dipped (although we know that was a part of his outfit) is as salacious as it is vulnerable which brings me to my final point. The fallout.

Fallout: I'm not sure what prompted, Hudcon to truly let their guard down that night. Possibly a combination of youth, raw attraction and desire for each other, and of course the emotional need they always have to ground each other. Whatever it was, they relied on the mostly private nature of an event like the Met Gala to release their inhibitions and go into full couple mode. However, it kind of reflects what we're seeing right now with Hudson and realizing how much people are watching them like a hawk. Hudcon is Famous Famous. They're hot right now.

In a ridiculously short amount of time, they've found themselves in spaces with established A-List celebrities, and as shocking as it may seem to Hudcon, they are the celebrities that everyone wants to meet and talk to. They are always being watched and observed now, and that night some of the more detailed observations broke containment.

In my opinion, and I've mentioned this before, that night presented them as an open secret for Hollywood. All of the other shit that happened after (Rpfing gotta stop y'all, IG Accounts, Picture leaks, it's been so much fun 🤡🙃) aside, when they're at the next big event together, it feels like it's going to be a given that is how they are perceived. Which is why I think this summer, prior to filming there is going to be a lot of cleaning house in their lives, because it's only a matter of time before the General Public finally catches up to what Hollywood saw in person, and what we've been observing in the Fandom. When that time comes, I'm not saying they need a "hard launch" 🙄, but I'm sure they'll want all loose ends tied up and a clean slate to present themselves in a more deliberate and obvious way. But as of right now Met Gala was truly a night to remember. That night deserves two musical numbers 😁🎶.

This could be easier.

A gentle reminder that all of this could be easy. Simple. Tidy.

At any time, Hudson could have shut down the romantic speculation about him and Connor.

At any time, he could tell us that’s his bestie, he loves him like a brother, they have a nice bromance, or whatever other nonsense men that like each other platonically say.

No one is forcing him to flirt with that man in public. Online. In interviews. On camera. Off camera.

No one pressed him to talk about their relationship that bloomed into something lovely. No one pushes him to use romantic language when he answers questions. Every interviewer that asks about their connection gives him a platonic way out. Every time, they present the question in a friendship-shaped box and every time, he eagerly undoes the ribbon and says oh no, i love him. my soulmate, my baby. I need to hold my baby.

Mentioning him unprompted, drawing hearts on his pictures, dedicating special slides. No one told him to mention him several times yesterday. No one told him to dedicate his most prestigious award to him last weekend.

No one tells Hudson to touch that man intimately, to hold him closely, to caress his hands and kiss his face. To sit in his lap and share drinks and cigarettes.

This has never been part of the narrative. This is him, choosing to recenter his love for that man every time he gets enough room to breathe freely.

He’s making these choices, every day.

So respectfully, yes, we all have our opinions about the Situation. We all have different, valid interpretations. But one thing you will never do is convince me that he doesn’t wake up every single day loving that man, and making the active choice to share his love for him where all of us can see it.

He’s not even private about it. For as much as they share only with each other, he still carves out time to make sure that we know how much he thinks about him, and that his world and his universe would grind to a halt without Connor in it. It’s imperative to him that we all know he would kill any one of us for him.

And I didn’t even include shipping into this… this is just taking him at face value. 100% face value.

I see a lot of angry solos and antis and gossips chiming in these days to say mean-spirited things like, “he doesn’t love Connor.”

I have to ask…

When has he not loved Connor?

He’s always loved him. He’s loving him out loud. That’s not something anyone should be debating.

Keep calm and carry on ❣️

Big Sexy Russian

Alright y'all. First things first, after all the bullshit the toxic part of this fandom has put Hudson through, I'm so proud and happy that he won tonight. It was deserved and I'm also proud of Heated Rivalry winning all of their categories. After I watched Heated Rivalry, I realized it was the first Queer Media I'd watched after being out as Queer (AroAce 🤗), and that made it even more special. Heated Rivalry winning big is a wonderful way to head into Pride Month.

Alright now on to the Mess 😁.

Red Carpet: It was a nice group photo wasn't it. However, remember I mentioned earlier smiling with your eyes vs. smiling with your teeth. That was a canned Shane Hollander smile from Hudson, and it is what it is. I loved that Hudson was in brown matching his mom. I thought it was really cool that his dad made it. But the interaction with K was minimal, and I've seen others compare it to a checklist. As soon as the pictures were done, he dropped that arm like he did after VF waiting for their car. Also, the gum. Moving on. Hudson lit up taking pictures with the cast, and he looked more like a couple with Sophie 🤷🏽‍♀️. And he got some good hugs in with Ksenia and Robbie, and I loved to see it.

And the Winner Is: I'm going to link the video here in case anyone missed it so you can have full context of what I'm going to break down.

I'm going to be honest; this was like waiting for Michael B. Jordan to win at the Oscars. You knew it was probably going to happen but these awards shows like to play in people's face too much to be certain. Hudson's reaction reminded me of Michael's just that surreal feeling of "It's really me." I love this for him.

The List: Hudson's little thank you list was so sweet. I hate public speaking and I love that the list helped him get all of his gratitude out because he strikes me as the type that would be so upset if he forgot to thank someone. The part where he thanked his parents was so sweet. I always love seeing Creatives thank their parents for supporting them. Careers like Musician, Artist, Actor aren't always viewed as stable jobs and some parents try and discourage pursuing careers in these fields, but kudos to his parents for giving him the encouragement to get to where he is today.

Miss K: I really don't hold any animosity against her. Honestly, I don't think anyone does, which is why the discourse around her gets weird sometimes. No one hates her. What we all are is little confused by what exactly is going on with her and Hudson. Because no matter what you think about their relationship, there are too many moments that make you go Hmmm.

No Hug No Kiss: The people worried about a kiss can breathe a sigh of relief. But damn, the person who is allegedly your long-term partner of years "with me when my Mazda squeaked and I had no job", has been with you on this acting journey, watches you get your first major award and nothing. No hug, no kiss, no acknowledgment really. A quick glance and then he was on his way up to that stage. Ouch. Because we all know who he would've gotten the bear hug of life from if he had been there with him.

Wherever You Are: Hudson, I love you like a play cousin, but what was that. You were sat next to her the whole night. You looked at her before you went up on stage. You should've been able to pick her out in the crowd easily. Beginning that way after no hug and no kiss as if to say, "Oh yeah where are you again." Dang. Also, he does say love you. Not I love you. Love you. Considering how much he says this to his friends and the number of times he's said it about Connor it doesn't quite land does it? He's actually said "I've fallen in love with him" about Connor in that promo video where they wrote messages on the pucks. But for your long-term gf a quick love you, thank you for keeping me stable. Also, isn't saying she keeps you stable reheating your nachos, when you said in the Andy Cohen podcast that Connor has been your stability throughout all of this. Then again stable in the past isn't the same as stable throughout a meteoric rise in fame. I view K's stability as more of a keeping him grounded, reminding him where's he's from stability. Connor's stability seems like the kind you rely on when you need support your when times get difficult. After all, only one of them has been referred to as Hudson's Emotional Support Person in Life.

From Girlfriend to Partner: We have heard Hudson say girlfriend in reference to K a total of 2 times, both in GRWM videos that were pre-recorded. Even if we assumed that's what she was to Hudson we were just getting used to Hudson saying it and he hits us with thanking her as his Partner. I already mentioned in another comment section that girlfriend when said by a man has a connotation to it that make you assume that man is Straight even if he's not. Most of us within the Fandom believe Hudson is Queer and it looks like it was uncomfortable for him to say girlfriend. However, partner might feel more comfortable regardless of who he's referring to, as a Queer man, because it has no gender. Honestly when I think about Hudcon in a romantic context I think of them as partners and I've written it that way too, I don't think Hudson and Connor would say boyfriend 🤷🏽‍♀️. I don't know, it just seems like another Easter Egg Hudson has laid in regard to his sexuality. Also, I thought there was a rainbow patch on his pant leg, but it was just a reflection of the light through the window. Still, I think seeing a rainbow 🏳️‍🌈 on Hudson the day before Pride month is a good omen.

Big Sexy Russian: We knew Hudson was going to acknowledge Connor in his speech if he won. It was a given. Hudson is nothing if not consistent and saving Connor for last, after thanking K, follows a pattern we've become accustomed to. You could hear the emotion in Hudson's voice the whole time the spoke of Connor even if he started out being his usual jokey self, it was if he was bracing himself to get through it without being emotional and breaking down. Also, this was the only part of his speech that he went "off script" for, not looking at the paper.

“If I could cut this award down the middle I would because if these gay, yearning, little bottom eyes didn’t have a big sexy Russian to feast upon, my performance wouldn’t be as good. To the honorary Canadian Connor Storrie, I share this award with you."

-Hudson Williams

I find it interesting that he did that first person thing again that he does with Shane, where he said, "if these gay, yearning, little bottom eyes," instead of Shane, as if he was talking about himself.

Big Sexy Russian to Feast Upon. Huh. Just had to remind us how big and Sexy Connor is, and yes Connor because even though he said Russian, he could've said Ilya just like he could've said Shane. Also feast up, is giving munch munch munch, yum yum yum vibes.

Mentioning that his performance wouldn't have been as good without Connor is to me shows Hudson acknowledging that Heated Rivalry's success was a two-person job and they relied on each other's stellar performances to elevate each other as actors and catapult Heated Rivalry into success.

Honorary Canadian. Before people got upset over that Buzzfeed article referring to Connor as Mrs. Hudson Williams, the article stated that the people they were highlighting were either Canadian, Canadian by marriage, or Honorary Canadians. Funny huh. I think saying this was mostly acknowledging Connor's place in this small Canadian show and being a part of their big Canadian family, they love him so much. "I share this award with you." They really are soulmates and there is no one else he'd rather share his first big award with than Connor. He truly would split that award in half if he could.

Alright to close. I was really happy when Heated Rivalry won for best Drama Series. We kind of knew it would. But if I can be crass for minute, they picked the picture of Connor and Hudson in the bed in Episode 4 with titties out 🫣🤭. Like really all on the Jumbotron 🤣. Still, it was like Connor was there with them and I loved that.

Alright that's all I got. I'm sure as the dust settles over the week I'll have more commentary, and if we get any good after party material to analyze I'll be on it first thing in the morning. But for now, Good Night.

So K is also with him, looks like they didn’t break up. Does not seem like she’ll go away anytime soon. What do you think about this situation and hudcon?

Ah, back to our regularly scheduled content, I see 🫣🤭

I’ve gotten a few asks along these lines, so I’m going to condense my current opinion into a reply to this one.

First, a reminder: We don’t actually know if they’re a couple or not. If you follow certain other HC accounts, they make a solid case for how HK could be role playing as a couple, for a variety of reasons. Those arguments are compelling, and worthy of consideration.

Here at this blog, I tend to throw most of my support behind the Open / Crumbling Relationship theory. Seeing Hudson show up to a big event with his “gf” does nothing to change my opinion. I’m not arguing that they aren’t a couple on paper. I argue that they are one that’s crumbling, and essentially doomed.

Do I know that for sure? No, of course not. But do any of us know anything, 100%? We’re all just doing our best here.

The new soft launches, while seemingly intended to prepare us all for her Arrival this weekend (lord, the theatrics), only reinforced my notion that HK are awkward as hell together. The PR team obviously knows they have an image problem with this narrative... Whether they’re the real deal or not, you can’t even light a candle with that chemistry. Today’s airport walk was more of the same: distant, separate, and cold. The ice cream day side-by-side looked better, but it was still awkward, and so short that it didn’t allow us to even take a better look.

I have found the influx of pro-HK comments, to seemingly every HC inbox, following these clips to be interesting as well. A lot of people seem very invested in defending this relationship from scrutiny. Very curious. I just deleted a couple right now lol.

So to the question of, “She won’t go away anytime soon”… Meh. We really don’t know that. She could decide she’s over this circus as soon as she lands back home. She could have decided that days ago. Weeks, months ago. We simply don’t know. We don’t know what their agreement is, we don’t know what the plan is, etc. There’s so many factors that nothing will surprise me at this current time. Maybe she’s here in the picture for a while. Maybe she isn’t. Meh. Either way my ship sails on, since her presence has never been the deciding factor of what’s between Hudson and Connor.

There’s a lot of talk about Connor. Poor Connor, how could he do this to Connor, why doesn’t he think of his feelings, etc…

Let me remind y’all of something: Connor knows the score. He’s in on the plan. He is a part of the plan. So whatever the hell is actually going on with HK, Connor knew about it before SNL, he knew about it before VF, he knew about it before Met Gala. He’s known about it now, for this weekend. Hudson probably told him what was going to happen as soon as they bought K’s plane ticket.

It sounds callous, maybe, but I don’t care if she’s there or not. I care about and follow Hudson and Connor, and “oh no he has a gf” has not, one single time, stopped that man from doting on his boyfriend. (Or whatever label they feel like using.) Just today he signed an autograph and drew that same heart on Ilya, that he does every single time, a few feet away from “the girlfriend”.

I could get called delusional for this, but so be it. My intuition doesn’t lie to me. Energy doesn’t lie. Connor isn’t threatened by K. He knows his connection with Hudson is not being challenged. So whatever they feel a need to do, in the meantime, to make life easier for them? So be it.

All that aside, I’m still hoping for a miracle to see an appearance from Connor at the event tomorrow. A lot of y’all seem to think he falls out of love every time he disappears, so it would be nice to have some good old-fashioned Hudcon healings on the TL.

I was sad he wasn’t there today, but I kinda knew he was struggling to be there… Not emotionally, but genuinely because he’s working. I’m just bummed because I miss him 🥲🥹

PS isn’t it really cute that Hudson brought his mom? That’s exactly what I wanted him to do ❣️

[holls24]

was mulling over the hudcon penalty box interview and found it so strange that hudson seemed to misunderstand/reject so many romantic tropes. he doesn't like PDA, doesn't understand why couples choose to sit next to each other rather than opposite, doesn't know what pet names are???

and it's also funny how he seems to cross all the lines he marked with connor lmao. their PDA goes crazy, they have pet names for each other, they're typically pressed next to each other (or on top of each other) when they sit... it's almost like he actually enjoys doing all of that but never found the right person to do it with.

when was the penalty box interview filmed? i might have some ideas on the timeline here... thoughts?

Oh, I appreciate this observation 🤭

(I’m no timeline expert, but PB was from the mid-December round of promo interviews. Correction: late November!)

What I find really… bittersweet about Hudson is that he’s walked back on a lot of things he “doesn’t like,” and I agree entirely with you.

Because for the sake of science, let’s look at his dynamic with the Unperceived - neutral, no PDA, respectful personal space, no overt pet names or cute titles allowed in public (or in public chats with friends?), and a chemistry so quiet it’s led many most to speculate there’s no flame between them. The admission that he didn’t understand the staircase kiss but loved it hurts me, because wdym?? Had he not had a moment of passion like that?

If I can tinhat, I think this points to a huge aspect of not just HC’s strong chemistry, but Hudson’s inability to stop seeking the forbidden fruit. This may be the first time he’s not only been with a partner that’s as physical and forward as Connor is literally the embodiment of carnal desire made human form, this might be the first time he’s really wanted to do all of these things. I believe we are genuinely seeing him losing himself in it, getting drunk and messy on his desire.

I’ll never say that I think Connor was his sexual awakening or anything.. no… but I do think he showed him a love language - a way to love - he’d never fully explored. The radiant, affectionate and clingy Hudson that stands next to Connor is a different person from the reserved, almost muted boyfriend that stands next to K. I think it’s a physical embodiment of the After and his Before.

It’s poetic that Hudson’s life has a clear shift, in so many ways - before HR, and after. Because it’s not just that he met Connor. It’s that they happened to star in a show that made them get comfortable (and quickly!) with physical intimacy. It forced them to learn how each other felt, and showed them (Hudson especially) how electric the languages of touch, and outward, romantic affection could be.

We can joke that Hudson caught feelings on set, because who wouldn’t but I think it was a perfect storm of elements to open his heart to being loved loudly, truly being held in those strong arms he loves, being supported, being worshipped. I don’t know if anyone’s ever looked at him the way Connor does, and I think that kind of love changes somebody. Being loved like that changes you.

Hi, I wanted to ask what exactly happened during this infamous „SNL shift“ ? I keep seeing that coming up. I’m sorry if this is a silly question.

Thank you for sharing your perspective on things!

Hi, thank you for the ask!😊

The SNL shift is monumental because it marked the end of the Hardline Separation H and C espoused for about 5ish weeks immediately after the torchbearing ceremony in Feltre (Jan 25) all the way up to SNL (Feb 28).

During the Hardline Separation, the biggest topic of conversation was f/c and support for this ship reached a fever pitch during those 5 weeks to the point of the general public and even some Hudconners thinking it was real and not just a convenient grouping for HR promo since C ane F both live in LA and no else else from the cast does.

Another big topic of conversation was the soft (Jan 31 dump) and then hard (VDay) launch of K on H's IG.

These two separate but actually related topics led a not insignificant number of people (Hudconners included) to engage in doomerism to levels not seen before and arguably not since about how H and C would never be seen together ever again outside of filming and promoting the show.

(Sidenote: H's quote about "not wanting to be seen as the Olsen twins and purposely choosing different opportunities from each other also came out during this time. Separate but related again.)

So when H showed up to join C on his SNL gig, the balances shifted. I would argue they shifted back to the normal default of (psychosexual(?)/homoerotic(?)/you decide!) codependency for H and C, instead of the forced and insincere Hardline Separation.

It was also significant because H deliberately took time off filming Yaga to spend 2ish days on the road with multiple transfers and layovers just to get to spend 3 days in NYC with C "because he had to be there for him".

I have to also mention how H was basically nowhere to be seen at ALL during his time in NYC before showing up on SNL which led to fun and cute headcannons like he was locked in C's hotel room the entire time where they had nothing to do but each other🥰

And finally, we have to also mention the infamous SNL Afterparty. Where again, they arrived within minutes of each other. (Some say leaving from the very same van at different times [they had it doing a lap around the corner lol] so as not to be seen arriving together.) Where also C seemed to have lip gloss on his lips where he didn't before🫠 And finally, inside the party, despite reports of them being side by side for as long as they were there, there are again 0 (zero) pics of them together. But we do have separate pics of them with the same 3 or 4 people in the very same positions, as if just taken by different people (i.e. each other lol)

It does have to be mentioned also that the day after C attended the SAG/Actor Awards and was his happiest/most animated version that we'd ever seen at that point, at a stark contrast to how he'd been in public since Feltre.

And finally, less than a week after SNL, H was in Paris FW for Balenciaga where theu flew him out on their private jet(😭) and people were expecting Slutson a la Milan but instead got a very demure very mindful dare we say domestic Huddy🫠

And thus concludes the immediate consequences of the SNL/NYC shift.

I feel like I gave waaay too many details and not enough at the same time lmao.. lmk if there's anything else you're curious about with regards to this and @ everyone please feel free to chime in if I missed anything here🥹

What About Connor?

Amid all the energy and chaos that revolves around Hudson, the thought popped into my mind: What about Connor?

Where is he in all of this?

We are so used to analyzing whatever the F is going on with our favorite chaos monster that it is easy to miss the discussion of how Connor fits into or feels about all of this.

My first thought is that, whatever is going on with The Situation, Connor and Hudson are aligned on what is happening, if not entirely certain about how it all rolls out publicly.

Secondly, I don't think there is any doubt about how they feel about each other. I suspect that all of it was clarified last September when Connor went to Vancouver for that first visit to see Hudson. These are not two people who leave much unsaid between them. They have both shared how much they open up to each other in ways they can't with anyone else, given the unique circumstances of their relationship and careers. You can not navigate what they are going through by leaving things unsaid - honesty is imperative when you are trying to grow and develop a relationship in the middle of an intense and chaotic, high-energy crossfire hurricane [Rolling Stones shoutout].

Although they are both still young, the past six months have required them to grow up incredibly fast, and given the nature of the relationship I believe they have built, they are having to build the plane while they're flying it.

While many of us often talk about sweet, sunshine Connor, do not be fooled. Connor has had to overcome so much in his young life to get to where he is, believing in himself and fighting negativity aimed at him, which is sometimes overlooked. Connor is our sensitive, emotional Piscean man, but I suspect he is also strong as hell to have come through so much with that smile and love for life still intact.

That strength is what I feel allows him to sit back and hold space for Hudson to navigate his path, but I don't think he would do that unless Hudson has already been very clear about the depth of their relationship and what they want to build together. Hudson has proven he supports Connor - we saw that at SNL when he made sure to be there for him regardless of his own schedule - and that was public. I can't imagine what they have done to repeatedly show unconditional love to each other in private, in any number of big and small ways.

Have no doubt that Connor knows what kind of power he walks around with regarding his inner and external beauty and attractiveness. While he is still humble, he knows he's a smokeshow with the personality to match. He could be out there doing all sorts of things, and Connor, I am sure, comes with his own form of chaos.

However, I suspect he and Hudson mutually locked all that down last year before their lives got crazy.

I think Connor and Hudson know they have a once-in-a-lifetime connection. Every time they are together, it seems increasingly obvious, which is why they try to limit their public interaction.

Connor is not the damsel-in-distress pining or yearning; he is a grown-ass man who knows what he's trying to create with his life, and Hudson is a part of that for him. I think Connor has experienced more hardships in building relationships, primarily because people get wrapped up in what they think about who he is or what they want him to be for them.

Hudson has not had challenges making friends or fitting in in quite the same way. He seems to have learned to mask and be a bit of a chameleon, while also maintaining/fighting for a strong sense of his own unique identity - ergo, the chaos monster.

While I think Hudson gets it too, I feel Connor better understands the gravity and preciousness of their relationship. I don't think he would stay committed to making this work otherwise. Connor knows what he wants and is willing to stand strong amid the chaos that comes with Hudson (not always of his own doing) to pursue what they both know is a long-term, life-changing relationship.

While there are still so many unknowns, I think Connor and Hudson know they will figure out how to live lives together -standing beside each other as usual.

There are billions of people in this world. Entire cities breathing at the same time, strangers passing each other every second without ever truly seeing one another. And yet somehow, once in a lifetime if you’re lucky, you meet someone who feels painfully familiar. Someone who reaches parts of you that nobody else ever touched.

That’s what makes soulmates so terrifying and so rare. It’s not just love. It’s recognition. It’s the feeling of “there you are” after spending your whole life not realizing you were searching for someone at all.

Most people will never experience that kind of connection. The kind that alters your chemistry. The kind that makes the world split into a before and after. The kind that turns coincidence into destiny.

And maybe that’s why Hudson and Connor feel so special to me. Because against every impossible odd, in an industry designed to swallow people whole, they found each other. Two people who somehow seem to soften and unravel in the other’s presence. Like they were always meant to collide eventually, no matter how long it took.

There’s something almost haunting about witnessing two souls recognize each other in real time. The quiet gravity of it. The tenderness. The inevitability.

To find your person in this lifetime is already a miracle. To be loved by them in return? maybe that’s the closest thing to fate we’ll ever know.
