Why haven't we opened the dialogue about childhood frenemies hollanov?? We're constantly bickering. You're always at my house. I hate my childhood nickname. You're the only one who still uses it. You stole my first girlfriend. We kissed in my bedroom once, just to practice. You took me to my first real party. You drove me home when I got drunk. Okay fine we kissed more than once. I hate you. You give me butterflies. You're always touching me ugh god stop touching me you're so annoying. Touch me again. You make fun of my clothes and my posters and my bedsheets. You took my virginity. I don't even like you, really. Unless you say it first.

[hideaway311812]

Ohhhhh my god yes!!! This au is absolutely required.

Like Yuna Hollander being absolutely protective of Ilya because Gregory is PoS. Or Shane punching Andrei in the face that one time Ilya came to school with a blck eye. Mind you they are in middle school and Andrei is attending High school. Ilya spending weeks at the Hollander house after Irina passess away, until Gregory thretens to call authorities m Shane hates Gregory more than anyone. Ilya knowing all signs of Shane's anxiety. He has a list of all of Shane's stressors. He is the only one who can talk Shane out of a panic attack.

On more fun side, Shane hates Ilya smoking. Also there is so much jealousy in this au. Shane hating all of Ilya's girlfriend. Ilya hating all the people who flirting with Shane which Shane does not even clock. And Ilya is always interrupting these flirt attempts. Them knowing each other's evrything. Every scar and fear and embarassing stories. Evrything.

I: Well, he stole our hearts as Shane in Heated Rivalry, and Hudson Williams is here in person once again, stealing our hearts.

HW: Awww

I: I mean, for real, you are here not representing just one show, but two shows. But before we get into that, what a great moment at the CSAs.

HW: Yeah.

I: Talk to me about that. What was your favorite moment sharing that special time with your family?

HW: That was really special, to have my family there, to be able to kind of look back and see my parents– My eyes are leaking for some reason– and my Heated Rivalry family, seeing Connor... It was really cute.

I: What are you looking forward to most, growing, of course, as an artist, as well as Shane, going into season two?

HW: I'd say kind of like, not rebuilding, but expanding on all those kind of roots and like little trees we planted on set, and now just kind of getting to nourish them and see where Jacob's scripts plus that team coming together again takes us, I think is really special.

I: You know what's happening right now?

HW: What?

I: I'm making you cry. Because you're just feeling emotional right now.

HW: Let's go with this. Let's go with this. The CSA's!!

I: Let's talk about Yaga.

HW: It's allergies.

I: Let's talk about Yaga for a second. You even said that Henry is an awful, awful dude...

HW: Yeah.

I: So, what's it been like to tap into that darkness?

HW: Icky, icky, and you come into that show, I cam in after they were already filming and had their rhythm going, so to kind of come in as this character was a really tough acting challenge, so I just hope I deliver.

I: You know what I love most? That we both are from BC.

HW: Yeah yeah.

I: BC... So, my favorite thing to do is grab a paddleboard, go across the Coal Harbor area. What's your favorite thing to do in BC and West Coast?

HW: Hike, breweries and beers, ice cream, runs... I run indoors, I don't know why I lied, but I can look through a window and see BC as I run.

I: Okay, so next time we're both there, let's go grab some delicious beer.

HW: Let's do it.

I: And we'll actually go for a run outside

HW: Okay

I: Really quickly– Yaga the play. Tickets are selling out ever since the people heard you were joining it... You've also kind of become this unofficial book TikToker.

HW: That's crazy.

I: So, what's the book you're reading right now? Are you allowed to say?

HW: Yeah, I'm reading East of Eden and then I'll re-watch the James Dean movie before the Florence Pugh one. So, yeah, I'm excited about that.

I: Mark Paul Gosselaar is here, Chad Michael Murray, all these heartthrobs.

I: Yeah, but speaking of heartthrobs, like my friend, you are also a heartthrob. I think that there's no lie about that, but is there anyone that you're really looking forward to seeing today?

HW: My heated rivalry friends and my Yaga friends.

I: Aww

HW: Yeah. Sorry about my allergies. I look like I'm just like emotional.

I: Don't apologize, don't apologize. Here, can I just get this?

HW: Yeah

I: I just wanted to touch you there for a second.

I: Lastly, lastly, you do have a lot of your, of course, your co-stars here. What makes this so special for you to actually take in moments like this? Like, what keeps you grounded in these moments?

HW: The relationships I built on these Canadian crews and sort of just how much they mean to me. And um there's no egos with any of these people I met. And... that's really special.

I: You are special. You are so special. Now that's what I call star power right here.

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

[nobodys-odyssey]

Taylor Swift does this

[godlessondheimite]

no she doesn’t

[nobodys-odyssey]

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.
