I am someone who has been a fan of the show since November and followed a lot of the Hudcon press tour during that time. I am not really on social media at all except tumblr sometimes to see the discussions about shows I like. Because of that, I genuinely thought Connor and Hudson were a couple the entire time (I still do tbh).
I’ve been together with my husband for 16 years, married for 11, and the way they look at each other is how my husband and I look at each other. The thing that confirmed it for me was the way they were all over each other at Hi Tops. I play with the sleeve of my husband’s shirt like that subconsciously all the time. I thought it was so sweet. And they come off as so coupley and in love. I follow other shows where the costars have great chemistry, but off screen give more coworker vibes. That is not what I’m getting from Hudcon. Their love seems so real.
With this girlfriend situation, I am so confused. I thought the Valentine’s Day thing was a joke made between a queer man and his girl bestie. I used to make jokes like that all the time with my gay friends. One friend called me his straight wife, I called him my gay husband, and he called my husband his brother husband 😂 It was just a dumb joke between friends and I truly thought that’s what was going on with them any time they showed her.
When she was at the CSAs and everyone was calling her his girlfriend, that’s when I learned more from people like you on tumblr because I was so confused. Especially after the Met Gala. All the people saying that their coldness towards each other is because they are in a long term relationship drive me nuts. My husband and I act like Hudson and Connor when we’re together even 16 years later. I’m offended that people thinks that’s what a LTR looks like. They need to up their standards.
Also, my husband works in a career that I don’t necessarily love, but still support. I’m extremely shy, truly don’t want to be perceived since I have no social media, and yet if he won a major award you can bet that I’d be leading the cheers and excitement for him. She gave nothing. It’s so strange to me.
I hope you’re right that it’s all PR and it’s ending soon. Do you think whatever contract she has is a year long type deal, or is it more based off appearances? I hope it’s based off appearances and we’ve seen the last of her. Shane and Ilya, and Hudson and Connor’s obvious love for each other just seems so earnest and pure. It made me have some hope in this world that feels hopeless sometimes.
Anyways this is super long, but I have been coming to your blog everyday the past few weeks because whatever vibes were happening in Paris were so weird and uncomfortable. Thank you for making sense of all of this!
Hellooo dear anon, what a lovely submission🥰
Thank you for your input as someone in a loving LTR! The excuse that HK peeps give as to why they're cold towards each other being """they've been together for so long""" immediately falls flat on its face when you point out the existence of couples who are in longer relationships like yours who are very much loving and warm in a way H and K have never been. But in the way that H and C already are even being together for less than a year.
It does not make sense because it's not something that is sensible when you look at all the facts. The people who are buying into the the K Narrative and think H and C are just friends are either disingenuous or are not looking at all the facts. Because in that case, I have yet to see ANYONE not clock that H and C are together and in love and K is there for PR. It's become so much clearer the past 3 weeks. But I feel like the gaslighting has become even that much worse...
I really truly hope I'm right in thinking that we've left the worst of the worst behind us. Because it's H who is suffering the most from this whole ordeal and we just want him to be happy with his emotional support person in life by his side without needing to keep up appearances for any longer. So I can only hope it's a by-appearances contract and not a yearly one.
In any case, thank you once again for being here and I'm glad to have been able to provide a safe haven for you the way I needed for myself before I started the blog. You are very welcome here❤️
