I’m curious what your hudson character analysis looks like- bc for me very few writers get the right balance of his brashness and his sensitivity. I think generally Connor gets characterized as more outwardly sensitive but I also think he’s more sure of himself in a way Hudson isn’t. I think they show tenderness and protection in different ways- like they’re both each others’ baby. Like Hudson wants to ensure that everyone’s nice to Connor but Connor wants to ensure that Hudson’s nice to himself- he’s always force-feeding him compliments.

the abrasive horny jock is suuch a persona 2 me. most of the time like when he’s asked serious questions he gives an answer that’s like oohhh ok u definitely pursued post-secondary education don’t worry hudson i see you. i think all the time about how he said he has a soft sensitive side as well.

like i do think he genuinely jokes cause he’s a freak i think the confidence and frequency of it tho is embellished. did basketball to fit in with the other boys and all that. has experience projecting confidence when his heart’s not really in it. and he is an actor…

if anything i think connor oscillates between being very self-assured and retreating into his nervous excluded boy roots whereas hudson remains consistently on the polite side of humble just to be safe. i really like how u put this: hudson ensures everyone’s nice to connor and connor ensures hudson’s nice to himself. like… yeah. that’s them. god they r so sweet they make me sick

how do you characterize Connor’s competitive nature and Hudson being whipped for him- the whole GQ quiz where he got mad at the point disparity and withdrew from him and Hudson immediately going to reassure him and Connor shoving his hands off. How do you like to play with that dynamic? But also in contrast when Connor gets mad about him stealing his stuff or the whole “did I talk”, Hudson sort of puts himself in self imposed timeout

hudson doesn’t play easy on connor in an actual competition because winning only feels good when your opponent plays exactly as hard as you do (or cares exactly as much as you do: another trait of hudson’s that connor adores; so they both truly push each other and that gives connor a few more butterflies over how cosmically perfect they are for each other)

however connor is also hudson’s baby. i don’t classify the gq quiz moment as a competitive moment really. it’s more like connor being whiny (his points were still literally in the millions) just because he knows hudson will let him. with hudson, he can whine about being given anything less than the absolute best and hudson will sincerely apologize. and i think that really does it for connor. “i knew he was gonna be so mean with these… points 🥺” feels like he’s maybe playing with hudson a bit, maybe testing him: are you going to lean into my bit and embrace the adjective i’ve given you or are you going to be gentle with me? and of course hudson’s always sweet with him. connor can’t even pretend to be mad at him after (still snuggling up to hudson, completely unfazed by hudson continuing to touch his [inner] thigh) so i do think. connor likes to tug on hudson’s devotion a little. and kiss him silly about it when he proves again and again how unwavering it is.

hudson’s self-imposed timeouts are him coping with cuteness aggression! connor deals with his hudson-induced cuteness aggression by actually smacking and shaking and biting hudson. hudson deals with his connor-induced cuteness aggression by fucking connor’s brains out. he must remove himself from the stimulus (connor’s whiny OR bossy voice) so he doesn’t get hard in front of the camera and god and everyone. and also he thinks anyone who treats connor with anything less than the utmost care deserves to die so he’s just… microdosing his due punishment when connor complains at him. looking away from connor feels kind of like dying, anyway.

i’ve read your hudcon fics and absolutely love them!!! i was wondering if you’ve read any hudcon fics that you really like that you could recommend?

MY (MOSTLY BOTTOM CONNOR) HUDCON FIC RECS‼️‼️

1. take away the words that rhyme (it doesn't mean a thing) by anonymous

ok so this is actually a gen category series but u need to read the whole thing or u literally die. angst galore let’s all suffer together the prose in these fics flowed so beautifully into my chest like a barbed arrow. i’ve recced this series before but it’s just so so so good i need to put it at the top of the list and gen fics never get the attention they deserve!! AND THERE’S A CHINESE TRANSLATION

2. call me peaches by eleadore

this is one of those fics i feel like everybody and their mother has read already but like i liked it ok. yes yes go on i liked the popular fic let’s all stone bonks in the town square

3. Misery Business by doorway (glossedmouth)

jealous possessive hudson dialed up to one ten thousand percent. really compelling.

4. Aren’t You Crazy Like Me? by BeatLA

i’m just kinda a sucker for hudson playing the sacrificial type of devotion and suffering for it. a foot fetish haunts the narrative

5. all roads lead to damascus by eggdropsoup (softtofustew)

really dreamy summery falling-in-love-with-ur-boy-best-friend atmosphere. connor learning hudson through his hometown. made me see clouds against a blue afternoon

6. Lost Time Over You by @pomelos-writes

this is probably the only multichap hudcon fic i keep up with like this is yummy ok? nothing else appeals to me… again we got the devotion. sorry. he keeps doing that.

THAT’S KINDA IT FOR NOW… nothing else is rly coming to mind (i wanted the fics on this list to be under 1k kudos) and like the reason i’m so motivated to write hudcon is like 90% i don’t really see what i want in fics that are out there already so i took it upon myself to be the change i wanted to see etc. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ANY [BOTTOM CONNOR] RECS I WILL TAKE THEM!

[skn-ob]

would kill to be in a we-ho debrief with the people from the HiTops bar after hudcon left. just really gossipy about these two random actors in this sort of niche show (at the time)

connor was literally boyfriend there. he was clinging to hudson like a territorial omega genuinely there’s no way anyone in that room thought they were just good friends. me when i’m at the GAY BAR with my COWORKER TURNED BOY BEST FRIEND whom i got a MATCHING TATTOO WITH playing with his SHIRT SLEEVE smiling DREAMILY at him as he promotes the GAY SHOW in which we GAY KISS each other while i bite my lip and LOOK AT HIS COCK

[skn-ob]

I really like when fic writers imbue how much Connor cares for Hudson into the details bc I feel like Hudson’s care for him is more obvious

gahh yes connor can be so quietly smitten with him and this manifests in the cuteness aggression thing but he also loves to praise hudson a lot and methinks in particular he loves to praise hudson in particular for hudson’s loud care and affection towards him whiiiiich comes back around to the guard dog thing like yes you are good yes you are so sweet to me come here you deserve a soft place to rest and it should be my body oh you’ve done so well huddy… WHICH ALL SUBSTANTIATES “Hudson wants to ensure that everyone’s nice to Connor but Connor wants to ensure that Hudson’s nice to himself” (Anonymous) THE HUDCON THESIS IN MY OPINION

[skn-ob]

Fandom being struck and obsessed with Top Connor, I don’t get. That man yearns to get fucked and Hudson yearns to do the fucking. I mean where was everyone when Hudson couldn’t shut up about Connor’s fat ass. Also, Ember and Ice promo you can’t tell me that’s not Hudson pantomime licking said ass. I think he been there already and made a home in it but if he hasn’t, he will sooner than later.

u can see it in their eyes 💔 it seemed like such an simple conclusion to draw that hudson not being able to shut up about connor’s ass -> he wants to be buried up in there… #whatever #brandnewpeachflavorbyspinalvirgin

Hudson’s self deprecation on full force in that Emma chamberlain interview she didn’t know how to get him out of it lol dw Emma there’s v few who would succeed and he’s right inside ready to call him to heel and to seek comfort in him (ergo that one pic of him resting his head on Connor’s shoulder)

watched a snippet of it… this busy and booked era is kinda making me sad lol. connor said he hadn’t seen hudson in “a long time” even though it definitely was not a long time but like it’s a long time for them okay? do not separate. they r so tired! can connor wrap hudson up in his arms and kiss him all over his face and tell him it’s okay, i’m here, you should rest, huddy, we’ve both been so busy, it’s been a while, i know, i love you… talking about disassociating oh wasian boy with adhd you are so overstimulated… he needs to hold his baby… his emotional support person in life… ahahahaha when he buries his face in connor’s shoulder and closes his eyes it really is almost like the spring-summer of 2025 all over again, just him and connor learning each other, familiarizing himself with connor’s body and mannerisms: throughout all the changes, connor’s body is still home!

[skn-ob]

WeHo night, Connor’s gaze and possessiveness. Case closed.

(Those saying otherwise must be blind, that’s a man giddy af after being fucked thru the mattress not the other way around)

connor’s never controlled himself a day in his life he got exactly what he wanted that night and he needed the whole bar to know… starstruck smile on his face watching hudson talk like what he’s saying is the wittiest funniest most charming thing ever like okay we get it the dick was good he’s all yours he’s obsessed with you we know this you don’t need to prove anything man… take ur fingers out of his shirt sleeve…
