People are joking about Jacob's comment regarding the s2 budget and "the folks at Peloton will make you rich" but that is literally the strategy. Both Hudson and Connor are little artist freaks who are in film for the love of the game, and by taking these lucrative advertising deals they are ensuring they make enough money while being able to take the roles they want. Heated Rivalry doesn't pay their bills, Verizon and Peloton and Tiffany and Balenciaga do, so they can spend 8 precious weeks in Toronto this summer doing what they love. They can take roles in niche Canadian indies and fund their own projects without having to worry about making rent.

It's a joke, but it's also the point. They are both clearly giving themselves room to be picky and only take the roles they want. It's smart as fuck and I applaud them and their teams for it and won't ever judge the boys for their commercial gigs.

I cannot stop thinking about what a fucking year Ilya had in 2014

Putin warns gay people not to spread propaganda during Sochi Olympics

Every Western media outlet wants a sound bite from Ilya, a Russian superstar who’s lived in the West for five years, regarding the gay propaganda laws

Ilya has to thread the needle of neither denouncing or promoting Russia’s stance

Ilya leads the National Hockey Team to a demoralising crash out

The prettiest man in the world makes the unbelievably stupid decision that now is a good time and place to talk to each other in public for the first time ever

He is upbraided by his Papa

Sveta completely misreads what he needs, and he can’t even be mad about it because at least she’s trying

The Bolotnaya Square protesters are convicted

Russia moves troops into Crimea

He keeps frantically googling pictures of Shane in the middle of the night

Russian opposition leaders are detained

G8 suspends Russian membership

Boston makes the playoffs

The Russian government enacts laws tightening control of dissemination of information, categorising bloggers alongside journalists

The Donetsk and Luhansk referenda, unrecognised by the international community

Boston wins the Stanley Cup

Has panic attack in a bathroom, is immediately accused of being an asshole for arriving on time

Successfully convinces himself he’s capable of having sex with Shane without feelings, definitely doesn’t cry once he’s alone

Super super fun happy times summer with his ailing father

MH17 shot down by Russian-made missile

Russia hits back at sanctions by banning food imports, sends food prices soaring

Oil prices crash, halving Russia’s national budget

Foreign ownership in Russia media is capped

Has Totally No Strings No Feelings secret sex with Shane, everything is Chill

Russian financial crisis hits, prices of food up 40 to 50%, some KHL teams can’t even pay their players

And all throughout this, every time he opens Facebook he’s tagged in yet another hundred fucking ALS ice bucket challenges

Shane walks into the kitchen one day to find Ilya crying in front of a pot of stew. At first Ilya tries to dry his eyes and tell Shane he's fine. But when Shane pushes a bit more, he admits that he's trying to make a dish he remembers from his childhood, but he can't get it to taste like it used to. And it's not like he's ever going to be able to get the recipe from his mom, so he's just having a bit of a crisis about it. And Shane just holds him while Ilya cries it out and apologises for crying, but all the while Shane is plotting.

Shane starts collecting recipes - as many versions of the same recipe as he can. The next time Ilya goes out for a brand deal or press thing, and Shane's alone at home for the day, he takes the opportunity to meticulously print out cards with the recipes on them so he can keep track, borrows every pot and pan he can from his parents, the neighbours, his teammates, whoever, and starts making all the different recipes, labelling them as he goes.

That evening when Ilya gets home to the overwhelming smell of cooking and sees Shane surrounded by what looks like every pot in Ottawa, he first thinks Shane's had a bit of a mental breakdown. But then he sees the recipe cards and realises what Shane's been making.

"I know we might not find the exact same one, but I thought if we tried a bunch of different ones, you could at least find the one that's the closest."

It's so Shane. Who else would think to make what feels like a hundred pots of the same stew in one day in the hopes that just one of them would help give Ilya a little taste of home?

And Ilya falls in love with his beautiful, thoughtful, wonderful husband all over again.

[brownbitchshit]

I think we as a fandom don't talk about enough how Ilya is a lover but Shane is a protector! Like yes they both are Loverboys and carers but Shane is ferally protective of Ilya since day 1.

Ilya couldn’t understand what the reporter is saying, Shane stepped up to answer for him.

He felt something was off with Ilya in Sochi, kept checking up on him.

After Sochi when Shane realized how dangerous Russia is for Ilya, he tried to convince Ilya to not go back by asking if it's safe, if he has to go back.

When Ilya opened up about his father, Shane climbed up on his lap and hugged him. In that entire episode he kept checking up on Ilya to see if he is okay, if everything back home is okay.

When they get to the cottage, Shane is taking his bag, making his food, making sure he is taken care of. When Ilya talks about the danger of having a Russian passport and marrying Svetlana, Shane is the one who stays up all night to make them 10 years plan.

When his mom questions Ilya's loyalty to Boston Shane defends him.

This isnt the end. In TLG, Shane defends Ilya to Hayden and JJ.

When the near plane crash happens Shane proposes to show Ilya that he is 100% sure about them.

Most importantly when the Commissioner threatens Ilya and Shane to destroy their career, Shane snaps and says he chooses Ilya.

Shane is constantly making sure of Ilya's wellbeing, planning things for him, defending and choosing him everytime. Ilya is 100% Shane's baby and Shane is an overprotective mother hen which I think is beautiful.

[eastofshane]

do you ever think about ilya and just go a little insane? I mean, that's the guy who won the stanley cup for his dead mother. he wears his mother's necklace. he keeps ginger ale in his fridge for shane. he play fights with svetlana. he got nervous when shane kissed him on the forehead after they had sex. he tried to combe back his hair back before opening the door for shane. he asked shane to stay. he made shane a tuna melt. he played with kids in the pool. he gets scared of loon noises. he cried when he told shane he loved him. he confessed his love in russian first. he checked the meaning of compatible to make sure he understood what it meant. he wanted to hold shane's hand at the beach. he devoured those spaghetti. he loves being shane's boyfriend. he loves being part of a family that actually loves him. he is so full of love!

So this was after the scene they shot, where Ilya rejected Shane. I read somewhere that Connor and Hudson needed to comfort each other because of that scene.

I love analyzing everything, so I wrote down my observations on this (Just for fun):

Body language

Head/neck contact

Connor’s face is pressed into Hudson’s neck

Not just touching — resting + nuzzling + kissing

Neck contact is very intimate. It’s one of the least “platonic default” contact points.

Hudson’s response

He leans into the contact, not away

His eyes are closed, shoulders relaxed

His hand comes up to hold Connor’s arm

That’s key: he’s not just receiving — he’s engaging back in the closeness

2. Microreactions

Both have closed eyes → signals internal focus, not performative awareness

No tension in jaw/face → they’re comfortable in the moment

No scanning surroundings → they’re not “on display”

This reads as private moment happening in a public space

3. Dynamic

Emotional tone

This is not playful. This is not casual.

This is: → grounding → regulation → “I need you right now” energy

4. Level of comfort

There is:

zero hesitation

zero awkwardness

full physical trust

This kind of fluency usually comes from repeated behavior, not a one-off

5. Subtext

If we strip it down:

This is prolonged contact

In a vulnerable position (neck, closed eyes)

With mutual regulation

That combination typically signals: → emotional dependence / attachment → not just situational comfort

If you look at this purely behaviorally (ignoring any narrative):

This is:

more intimate than average friendship baseline

more regulated and mutual than “just joking around”

and more absorbed than performative

I don’t think we’ll be getting moments like this anymore.

With how things seem to have shifted PR-wise, there’s likely a lot more control over what is shown publicly now.

Shane while his hole is still on fire from how hard Ilya fucked him into the mattress: So are you heading back soon? To Russia? For the summer? Why? Do you have to? Is it safe? Do you even like it there?

Shane with Ilya's cum smeared all over his stomach: Is everything okay at home? Your father?

Shane while Ilya's cum is still inside him after they fucked raw for the first time: What was your mother's name?

[hudconarchives]

some of us are still at the hi tops bar in weho

[heated-rivalry-rambling-a-day]

no thoughts, just this photo of Hudson

[charlielovesbuffy]

broke: Connor and Hudson are the exact opposite of their characters

woke: Connor and Hudson are who their characters are inside; Ilya is secretly a big tender softie and Shane is secretly a giant freak
