Good morning from my side of the world. I have a few thoughts following this past week, and some housekeeping.
They're Still Together: I said maybe 2 months ago now, that I don't try and keep up with where Hudcon is at any given time, because it's too hard 🤣. That's how I felt this week, where every time we thought one of them might have left Toronto, they popped up together again. Now we're going on 2 full weeks of them just booed up and on Staycation in Toronto. I say booed up, because although it's highly likely they could be working on HR pre-production, or Connor filming for The Bell Jar, we've seen more evidence of them just spending time together than actually doing anything work related. Also, I will get to this in a minute, but this is my interpretation of their time together, which means I don't want comments and dissertations about why you think I'm wrong and they've been working as well. I don't care. That being said, everytime I get ready to analyze or write about their time together, more info gets added. So, I might have to wait to see what else today or this weekend yields, before doing more unpacking on Hudcon's Toronto time together. We'll see.
Casting Announcements: I have not read Role Model, so I only know about Troy and Harris through reading The Long Game. I honestly can't tell you that I pictured them any specific way. I don't really care about the secondary couples outside of Hollanov, so I don't have any opinions good or bad about the casting. I'll just wait and see when Season 2 comes out to see if the casting turned out to be a good choice.
Best Friends: The first long post I did on this page was about how Hudcon are legitimate Best Friends, and that because they are, it works as a good cover for a deeper relationship, until they're ready to be more public. I have mentioned them being best friends, often and frequently. Also, as recent as a few days ago, I said that you can do all the things they have done together with your best friend, and I had myself with one of my closest friends. I literally said this a few days ago,
"Going to dinner and a movie, spending all day with a person well into the evening, going to cafes to sit and talk. Sure, you can do those things with friends, with one of my closest friends I've done most of those things."
HOWEVER, I also stated that Hudcon's behavior with each other while doing these things is what takes it from two best friends hanging out to a couple doing couple things. The heart eyes being present one of the clearer things that distinguishes their behavior.
I've said on my page before, that I know what I mean when I write things or post things, so if you skim through it and chose your own interpretation after I've made myself clear, it's a pet peeve and it will rub me the wrong way. On my post from yesterday I talked about my mom joking that Hudcon loved doing all of their walking and talking together, and that it didn't look like what you'd do with someone who was "just a friend". I know what she meant, I was sitting there when she said it, so I know her intention. Now if that doesn't translate via a post on Tumblr that's not my problem. So, when I get comments like this,
it pisses me off. Because, as I just finished explaining, I have said you can do all those things with your best friends, and with Hudcon it's different. Don't come here to make a point that doesn't need to made and especially don't come here to give "advice" or tell me how to think or what to do. I've stated many times not to do that here, and yet people never learn. Like I said it doesn't take much to annoy me, so if this is something that wouldn't bother you, I get that, but I just have a very short fuse these days.
Hudcon Is Different: I'm actually surprised by the number of people who think Hudcon is going to form the type of bond they have with each other with any of the new cast for Season 2. Hudson and Connor are charming and have chemistry with practically everyone, so it's not surprising that as they work on new projects and with new actors, they will form close friendships and bonds. However, the idea that somehow any of these bonds is going to supersede what Hudcon has makes me side eye the people asking. It's one thing to be curious about how Hudson and Connor will interact with the new cast, but it's obvious in the wording of some of these Anon Asks, that people are hoping that Hudson or Connor form a relationship with a new costar stronger than the one they have with each other, to prove that Hudcon isn't what we think it is. Not everyone is doing this of course, but as I've mentioned before solos like to lurk over here, and I'm peeping what y'all are doing.
The Threat of Domesticity: It's been extremely funny to watch (and honestly disturbing at times, I'm looking at you Club Chalamet) F/C shippers fuming with anger over Hudcon spending time together in Toronto. The other day I said this:
"I mentioned earlier there is something about the simple domesticity that has played out over a week that just draws you in. Hudson and Connor were so in sync with each other in every way possible, and it was palpable through pictures how much they are enamored with the other."
I can't explain why this is my favorite picture so far of Hudcon in Toronto. I guess I just like that outside of their new Red-Carpet celebrity lives, they're just a couple making runs to the 7-Eleven to get Gatorade and going to get Takeout for dinner and having a Tote Bag with Paper Towels sticking out 🤣. Anyway, it's just nice to see how content and happy they are to spend time living life together.
On the flip side of the C/F shippers losing it, you still have the H/K stans getting butt hurt every chance they get. The Dunce comment from the other day was on my Ambiguity post. Anytime you point out the glaring holes in the H/K narrative, simply by observing it, here they come with the same tired ass comments. Notice they never challenge what you've said. That's because they have no counterpoints or arguments to defend H/K, so they attack you for stating the obvious.
Alright, I'm done with my morning thoughts. I'm getting increasingly agitated at being misunderstood, I even censored some things in this post because I can't stand any more "Well Actually 🤓☝🏽" comments when I didn't even mean it like that. Anyway, at the rate Hudcon is going I fully expect more interesting content today or tomorrow. So as usual if something interesting pops up, I'll be back. However, this was a long week for me, so definitely time for an Intermission.
