Connor’s intensity is exactly why it’s so fun to Dom connor post bc he really isn’t for everyone as much as his sweetie pie self bewitches. When he got so offended on Owen thiele’s podcast when he asked if he had chemistry with everyone lol. And then there’s Hudson who loves how intense connor is because he loves having Connor’s attention. (This is why the Hudcon pandemic roommates au on ao3 is so great bc it really captures that dynamic)
I LOVE how intense Connor is. like yes he's very sweet and sensitive and funny but also. that boy is scary as fuck (positive). like he's so ambitious, he's such a hard worker, he knows the effect he has on people and uses it to his full advantage. I always think the best example of this is how lasered-in he is with eye contact. like the Owen Thiele podcast is a great example, he's a very active listener and will stare into your soul while he listens. This is a very random example but I also constantly think about that random video of him at his old serving job. Like he was serving face, locking eyes with the camera, introducing himself First Name Last Name. He's been hustling and working for years and part of that is making sure people remember him.
and like..that energy serves a very specific purpose but that is not for everyone. and then we have Hudson, who is also an incredibly hard worker and loves what he does and will commit fully to something as much as Connor does, and who also clearly admires Connor's work ethic and not only wants to emulate it but also win his approval.
if we're being wholesome this is a really beautiful example of two very hard working people matching each other's energy and pushing each other to be better. and if we're being a pervert. Connor is domming the shit out of that boy.
