Hudson Williams attending Bell Media Upfronts (June 4th, 2026)

[mojoscircus]

Shane losing it one day after Yuna gives him the “you’re a role model” speech for the millionth time. Not wanting to blow up on his mother, he waited until he got home to let go in Ilya’s presence.

“I never fucking wanted to be a role model! I never asked for it! Why do I have to be the one representing the whole goddamn Asian community and their place in hockey? Why do I have to watch what I say, how I say it, when every other fucking player just gets to act however they like, huh?! I can’t appear too cocky because “what about the children?” I can’t be caught doing anything that could wreck the perfect fucking image of hockey’s Golden Boy. I’m a leader, but I can’t forget that I’m an Asian leading a bunch of white men around so I have to make sure I don’t overstep or make them uncomfortable. Can’t forget my place, ya know. Like I could ever forget! I have to listen to every fucking racist chirp, but I can’t get too upset about it, no, otherwise what will the white fans think?! They can’t have an aggressive person of color on the ice calling out racism! God forbid! Now I can’t “act too gay” because that’s feeding into racist stereotypes? What the fuck does that even mean?! How does me being gay have anything to do with me being Asian? I’m fucking Canadian anyway! I was born here! Grew up here! My dad is fucking white for fucks sake! Oh, but don’t even get me started on that. I try so hard but it’s never fucking enough. And just because my mother is Japanese? How does that make sense?! The 2010s are almost over, why do I still have to deal with this fucking shit?! Ugh! I’m just so fucking tired of having to be perfect all the time!”

Ilya sat there patiently listening as Shane paced back and forth in front of him, letting him get it all out. He doesn’t always catch every word Shane says, but he can get the gist. They’ve been here many times before over the years. Every few months, Shane just loses it. Ilya can never really understand what his boyfriend is going through, but he’s happy to be the one Shane can open up to about all the pressure he’s always under.

Eventually, Shane loses steam and just flops down on the sofa, head landing in Ilya’s lap. Ilya immediately cards his fingers through Shane’s hair, nails scraping against his scalp because he knows he likes that.

“Feel better?”

“Mmm, eh, not really. Thanks for listening, though.”

Ilya leans down to kiss his temple. “Any time.”

He continues to rub Shane’s head until he falls asleep, exhausted from his tirade and the weight of being Shane Hollander.

"The sex tells the story, so it never felt gratuitous to me. The sex is character development. The sex is what is moving this relationship forward, and watching it change over time."

Jacob: they're very similar level of spice

Hudson: hole

Jacob: what, no

I am a fan of the dynamic where there's no leak and Shane moves to the Cens of his own accord and then Shane and Ilya never come out exactly but they just live openly and all these dumbass hockey players are just like

"Oh yeah they're just like that. They live together and room together and vacation together and get mad if they're separated on the bench. And they kiss in the locker room sometimes but it's you know. They're joking around. Good guys. Gay? Well---no I don't think so. I mean that's weird. Roz is a pussy hound. I mean I've never seen him with a woman but you know he is. Anyway Hollander had that whole thing with Rose Landry and he still talks about her, I think he's still hung up on her. Poor guy. I did walk in on Hollander sleeping on Roz's lap the other day but they were just getting in sync for power play you know? You reporters always want to make everything gay it's so weird. What do you mean 'why do they kiss so much' they're the top goal scoring duo in the league"

[loontattoo]

ok well you know what this is actually exciting because now Troy and Wyatt will for sure be played by unknowns and I can't wait to love and support these fresh new actors who are probably working at Tim Hortons and waiting for their lives to change as we speak

My biggest takeaway from this situation is I don’t think Hudson is a bad person, but I know for a fact that these people who are obsessed with destroying him are bad people. They are insane, evil and vile and this is their behaviour now.

I’m judging Hudson based on what I can observe from his behaviour now and who I see seems to be a decent person with a good heart.

If I’m judging these Twitter stalkers from their behaviour now, I think they’re ugly and deranged and I’m scared of them, and I think they should take a long look in the mirror if they think they have any right to play morality police while they stalk, defame and wish death on people they don’t know and have never met because of a personal dislike.

I do not hold Hudson on a pedestal and never will, but these people obsessed with canceling him clearly do.
