& i will be so for real with you all there is NOT enough hype about how good hudson williams is. the way he’s using his face is crazy. his mood visibly changing from easygoing to annoyed to scared to frustrated to hopeful (+ crying) in the fake proposal scene is nuts. you are seeing everything he’s feeling. the totally flat affect when he’s trying to talk to his parents because he can’t read their minds or their faces… the way his voice breaks when he says “i just can’t help it” and the way his eyes land everywhere except for his mom’s face… like oh my god. try to imagine what those scenes would be like in the hands of a less capable actor. the amount of effort and care he puts into the character is so great but just his abilities as an actor are REALLY carrying a lot of the weight. not just in this episode but throughout the series. everything he’s doing is delightful to watch. love him so bad can’t wait to see him EGOT
