You Thought You Ate

Picture of you and the Groomer's Wife before you and your "man". Okay. And what did I say about that kissy face 😗.

Your man looks good. Too bad he's done that pose with literally everyone he knows. Why y'all always leaning with it and rocking with with it. No arm around the waist? Nothing? Just leaning in barely touching huh? Okay. That's the best you could do. And before people doom and think she could do better, she can't, or we would've seen it. We've seen the "not kiss" and the "toes". The pictures aren't in the camera roll.

Also, that picture looks familiar right? Almost like we've seen it before?

I guess she thought she did something by showing him with his shirt off. Then girl grab something because we know how much his Emotional Support Person in Life likes that chest 😁🤣. Also, this is what Hudson did with a picture of him and said person with their yiddies out.

Girl, we're not jealous, because like Tiffany Haddish said we don't mess with somebody else's man. We all know we can't compete with Connor, it's odd that you think you can.

Alright I'm done. I did say let the games begin. I also see where she's pinning hate comments. Never let people know you're that bothered. You've played your hand already, because now we know you've seen everything people have been saying for months and you couldn't wait to "stick it" to them. Stay bothered and uninteresting. Just one question though, is it Got 2 Be Glue or Gorilla Glue that you use? We're dying to know 😍.

the magnetic pull of always needing to hold the other's hand!!!

Interesting post on Threads yesterday. A lot of it tracks and explains why C and H got so close so fast

Thanks for sending this in!

I've talked before about how it seems to me that C would be more feelings first sex later and H would be more sex first feelings later and the reason they fell for each other so in tandem is exactly because of this. The body can't tell the difference between simulated intimacy for the cameras and real intimacy, especially if you're not stage kissing but actually swapping bodily fluids and kissing nipples and bellies and whatnot... no wonder they because so mutually obsessed with each other so quickly🥹

I think about this often. I do think there’s a lot of truth to it - especially since they are the main couple of their show, and they have continued to crave that physical closeness (touch, scent and all) long after the camera stopped rolling.

However. I do see this argument occasionally used to dismiss Hudcon as an authentic romantic pair - and on that I’ll push back. I believe this physical bonding process only accelerated the attraction they already felt.

We can’t forget they were drawn to each other from the initial Zoom call. They became obsessed with each other as people, and they aligned on multiple aspects that would’ve continued to bring them closer together, whether or not they had “simulate hot sexy fun” on the schedule or not.

All of this only hit fast forward on a perfect storm that was already brewing. I see it as the universe nudging them past the initial hurdle of “should we do this?” so they could explore their chemistry as soon as possible 🙂‍↕️

It’s still wild to me (but not surprising) that they were styled in the exact same outfit for these photoshoots

Shane & Ilya vs Hudson & Connor

[honeyybrii]

shane effortlessly defying ilya's internal self deprecation with the most blunt, heartstopping, to the point sincerity is such an important part of their dynamic to me

"but you know me, i'm lazy, so." "i don't know that side of you at all."

"is that what we are going to do? relax?" "i hope so. i would like to relax with you. for once."

"because you like to be bad." "hey, that's not what this is. you and me. maybe it was at first but, not now, and not for a long time."

to the point where it even usurps other peoples interpretations of ilya before he gets the chance to internalize them -

"but, you hate him." "no. i mean, i get that. but no. i love him."

and ilya has that exact same subtly gobsmacked expression every time he does it

ilya -> 🚶‍➡️

[hollandor]

what we saw vs. what shane saw

[shilyas]

condo stairway scene gets me every single time bc of the way ilya lingers. the way he takes way too long to tie his shoes & adjust his jeans, the way he stands for a moment even though his cab is definitely there & the way he teases shane as he slowly lowers himself to give the sweetest, most unhurried kiss goodbye.
