I dgaf but also am crippled with anxiety

but if you’ve stalked that woman’s ig and tiktok and investigated her friends and overanalyzed the 57.3 seconds of video and a bunch of still photographs from public appearances (and sm accounts of other private citizens!!) to prove that she is not dating hudson williams, if you do deep dives on song choices and create thesis-length documents about their every move to prove someone is cheating, if you’ve tried to meet her in person via a tattoo appointment, and get angry because she posted a picture of her own damn cat, you’re the problem.

i have blocked so many people about this and i still see this bs pop up.

in an ideal world, we wouldn’t know anything about her. but that was unsustainable. so they introduced her a little and said she doesn’t want the attention, but she’s part of his life. that is not an invitation to the unwashed masses to descend upon their relationship like locusts and find “proof” for their delusions.

So I already covered them showing Kalem was following that account. But they also showed that two other friends were following the account: _mamajai (will be referring to as MJ) and benphanderson (will be referring to as Ben; can't be seen in the screenshot but its account under the pic of Hudson + friends).

As MJ is still a public account I decided to snoop around. It's important to note that MJ hasn't been active (or doesn't seem to have been) since their last post on that account. After going through their posts and their follower + following list, it became clear that they were following duo accounts (so yes 'thebakers_1' account was real and was followed by the three friends), and that's because MJ is also a duo account!

Let me explain. Duo accounts is basically a trend that was happening amongst the youth at the time (2016). It's essentially making a spam account with a friend and you just post whatever. These were teenagers making these accounts, not some grand mastermind that knew in ten years, this would be relevant to an actor from a gay hockey romance TV show. So keeping that in mind that these were again, teenagers, what gave the duo account trend away? A pattern in the usernames of the account. Quite literally, the duo account usernames are just a mash up of the names of the individuals in the ‘duo’. So MJ? Yes, it is a combination of the names of the girls who owe that account.

And here are other examples of duo accounts (with such obvious names) and the individual accounts for the duos. All paired except for fifi (It’s nice that Canada’s got really good privacy laws.. so I’ve heard).

Bringing us to ‘thebakers_1’, if this is suppose to be Hudson’s duo account, why doesn’t it follow the same naming convention? Clearly no one was going out of their way to be different or creative. Did Hudson and whoever else owed this account just felt like being different? Doubt it! So I started searching ‘bakers’ in MJ's following list. Because there has to be a ‘baker’ individual account to accompany the duo, ‘thebakers_1’. And I know the individual account had to still be there because MJ’s following count has only changed by 1 (127 -> 126). And it has stayed this way this ever since the screenshots came out (more on this later).

Searching for ‘baker’ gave this account: bakerbobi. Okay, it matches the naming convention, because there’s baker in an individual account.

So then I thought, okay it did say ‘thebakers_1’ plural. Did that mean there are two Bakers? So then I went back to Kalem’s account and found 4 accounts by searching ‘Baker’ in his following list, including 'Bakerbobi". I was able to quickly deduce that the other 3 were not the second ‘Baker’ I was looking for. Remember these are teenagers doing a trend. They all follow each other creating this little paper trail / web of connection. So out of the three likely ‘baker’s (highly doubt a verified account of an older woman was participating in this trend), only one of them has the follow from MJ and other duo accounts: Bakerbobi.

(I feel a bit terrible abut not blocking out the pfp's and part of their names here, so please don't harass them, this is just for the purpose of getting clarity)

It did take me a bit, to be honest, to peace together why I was not finding this other Baker. Baker #2 had to exist, if ‘thebakers_1’ was a duo account. So I started looking more closely at which account in the following list of all these other accounts was also a part of this paper trail/ web. Basically, what other accounts are MJ, Kalem, BakerBobi, and other public duo accounts following?

I included BakerBobi because I noticed that duo accounts will follow the accounts of the individuals in the duo. Screenshot below.

And not only do the duo account follow each individual account, the solo accounts will follow each other! (And duh! They’re friends). So BakerBobi had to follow their duo pair. And as I kept cross referencing (basically just seeing which profile picture kept showing up in different following lists), the one I kept seeing consistently was: momahbobi. An account that clearly was part of the friendship web / paper-trail! Momahbobi.

Zoomed in on the profile picture of BakerBobi, and it clicked that Bakerbobi is not a solo account. It’s the duo! ("we made it" in the bio). Momahbobi is ‘Bobi’, so who the is ‘Baker’?

Reminder that BakerBobi was the only ‘Baker’ I could find connected to the paper trail. And then I remembered the account that was deleted…..’thebakers_1’. So not only does Bakerbobi follow the naming convention (again, they’ve all been pretty straightforward), it also follows the 'duo follows individual accounts' pattern. So we have Bakerbobi following Momahbobi (due to this account being private, I can’t check who Momahbobi follow but this is enough for me).

This just shows again that Momahbobi is part of the paper trail (thanks MJ). And that while Bakerbobi is complying with the other duo accounts in following it's individual owners, there are no individual account found for 'Baker' in Bakerbobi's following list.

Seems pretty simple to me. But not wanting to leave any stone unturned, I wanted to see if it was possible find a personal IG account for Baker from Bakerbobi. Maybe the personal account didn't want BakerBobi to follow them anymore? After more digging and I was able to find a VSCO account for a Gray baker. Seems very generic, could be anyone. Except that they’ve reposted a Momahbobi. And when I searched the IG handle in their bio, nothing came up.

So at last, I have found “the original duo”. Bakerbobi!

So 'thebakers_1' account couldn’t have been Hudson’s, despite the profile picture. Because, as the account demonstrated by taking its time deactivating, a profile picture can easily be changed.

However, you can only change your username on IG a max of 2 times within 14 days. Remember that a hudcon ('allegedly', I don't know, that's what the account who posted the screenshot said) provided a screenshot that they knew of the IG account on April 26.

That gave them enough time to change the username the max allotted number of changes. Change 1: [Original username] -> “thebakers_1” (this is my guess)

Change 2: “thebakers_1” -> “beepboopbopbopbeepboopboop”.

Which by the way is a reference to Hudson’s pronounciation of bibimbap.

Okay that’s it for: I don't buy that the account was related to Hudson. If anyone was going to be in a duo with Hudson, it would have been Kalem. And giving that everyone else followed the same naming convention, I’m sure their duo account would have been a mashing of their names. Not “thebakers_1” which was easily found to be linked to an actual duo account.

[Rapid Fire Q&A]

Who is Luis? That is one of Hudson's HS friends. I have no idea if they are the other person in the profile picture with Hudson. I don't think it matters though because profile pictures can be changed anytime. It's the username of the account that's relevant.

So was 'thebakers_1' a duo or a solo? If it was a solo why the plural? My hunch is that "thebakers_1" was an account that belonged to a single individual. But somehow it started posing as a duo account just in time for people on twitter to get some screenshots framing Hudson to be a co-owner of this account.

Okay but his friends were following the account and it was made in 2016? Yes, I believe that this account was a real account that belonged to an individual in Hudson's social circle. I don't know how close this person was to Hudson but for teenagers, it's really not hard to start mapping out who's in their social circles base on their following on social media. That 'thebakers_1' was an old account and that it was followed by Hudsons's friends would have been the perfect set up. Because it's all linked to him, yes. Except, they didn't think about the finer details, whoever set it up.

Okay so what does this mean? Why was the profile changed? Who's behind it? That I don't know. I don't have receipts for anything regarding that. Who's being the scenes etc. I just have my tinfoil hat based on the 7 months of pure hell being part of this fandom has been. It's a pattern for sure, but again, I don't have anything other than what I've #noticed.

A little bonus, Hudson’s finsta is clearly part of the friendship web (followed by MJ and another duo account). He doesn’t follow any duo accounts from his finsta (but there are some individual accounts he does follow). BakerBobi does not follow _heyyyguys__. It's clear that some of these duo account still follow Hudson and he's fine with it (the concept for having a private account with >1K followers...Hudson please!). And Bakerbobi and MJ follow a lot of the same duo and individual accounts. Make of this was you will.

[EXTRA]

Since today, Saturday, hudson’s finsta became suddenly relevant, let’s talk aboout such a glaring omission on Thursday, when they set up the leaked the screenshot of 'thebakers_1'.

Again, this account shared screenshots of MJ and Ben following ‘thebakers_1’. "More friends" indeed.

And you can see they posted a photo of Hudson. And there’s a tagged icon. As people who wanted others to believe that Hudson was definitely close to the people behind these accounts (MJ and Ben), why not show the tagged accounts in the screenshot?? (Is it maybe because the person who took them knew what account would show up? and that would have made this screenshot worse *for* them instead of more damning for Hudson?)

Because guess what I did. I went to MJ, found the post, and clicked on the damn tag to see which account was tagged. And wow, it was Hudson’s finsta.

Which they conveniently did not bring up or address AT ALL on Thursday. When it would have definitely made sense to do so when ‘thebakers_1’ was still active! But instead, they waited until today, Saturday, after ‘thebakers_1’ was deactived, to bring up the finsta's following count, in the hopes that their doctored screenshots would support their claim of “thebakers_1” being his account. Well guess what? I’ve been taking screenshots of his account since Thursday and the following has been the same! Even as after 'thebakers_1' deactivated and the glitched on IG was fixed. And even if the following count had changed, why not bring up that Hudson's finsta was tagged on THURSDAY.

Another thing I want to point out about that screenshot. Hudson’s comment. Hudson’s COMMENT! Comments from private accounts can still be read even if you don’t follow the account. Comments from private accounts have TIMESTAMPS. The comment in that screenshot irrefutably dates Hudson to being active on that account 433 weeks ago. Yes?

Okay so for ‘thebakers_1’. It is private, yes? But you can still read comments left by private accounts. ‘thebakers_1’ followed by: Kalem, MJ, and Ben. All public when ‘thebakers_1’ was active. Are you expecting me to believe that no one, in the two weeks that they knew about ‘thebakers_1’, combed through the posts across THREE public accounts to see, hey did ‘thebakers_1’ leave a comment anywhere? Because ‘thebakers_1’ is suppose to be Hudson’s duo account. Hudson comments on his solo account so why wouldn’t he comment or have some sort of activity from the duo account? Could it be that, there probably were comments from ‘thebakers_1’ and most likely under their original name because ‘thebakers_1’ is not a duo! Also, comments carry timestamps.

If I was #them, I actually would have left comments in that two weeks window or told whoever was behind ‘thebakers_1’ to do that. Because it would have made it more believable for this account to be aware of when they got exposed (the same night!) if they had been recently active.

This brings me back to, remember what I said about MJ. That this entire time, the only change in their account has been their following count decreasing by 1. This account was exposed in the leak. It's public. I’ve snooped through it left and right, followed and unfollowed, and re-followed. And nothing. MJ has no fucking idea what’s going on. And that’s to be expected because the account is a fucking spam account they made a DECADE ago. They have their own individual accounts, and I imagine that’s the account they would have notifications on for. Out of all three friend accounts that were exposed, only MJ has done nothing. Kalem was responding to DM's and he turned off his comments. And Ben made his account private some time Friday morning. MJ remains the same as it was.

obviously shane hired a travel agent to create The Optimum Vacation, but he also studied and approved everything and also has custody of all important documents just because it makes HIM feel better and in control

meanwhile ilya?? straight elevator music. where are they going? unclear. when's the flight? not his concern. how long are they staying? who's to say. where's his passport? his husband has both of theirs.
