/gen question what’s your stance on the real vs not real of hudcon irl
Short answer: I don’t think hudcon is real.
Long answer: while I do think Connor is gay and Hudson is bisexual which puts me in truther territory, I don’t think hudcon have romantic feelings for each other or have ever fucked. In reality, just like they have talked about, they just have a very intimate friendship and enjoy expressing their love physically— something that we’re not used to openly seeing from two men which makes it easy to construe in other ways!
I personally find it fun to make up stories about them being together in some way, but I’m never writing things because I think they’re true; I’m writing because 1) it interests me and 2) to me, RPF is extra satisfying to try to write believably because they’re actual people who carry a lot of unknowable complexity (see my pinned post lol). And I’m not going to get into the girlfriend of it all, but I do think her and Hudson’s relationship is really cute which makes me even less invested in the idea of hudcon being “real”
Rapid fire: Do I think Hudson could be poly in real life? Sure but it’s none of my fucking business. If hudcon ever became real, would I feel validated? Honestly not really. Do I think they possibly have some sexual attraction for each other on top of their awesome friendship? …I plead the fifth.
Anyway, thank you for the ask anon! Hopefully I come across as reasonable. I appreciate the chance to clarify my thoughts here :)
