the handholding in that oscars party pic gets me every time because of how it says so much. the way you can tell it was most likely hudson who reached for connor first. the way hudson’s whole pose is a bit awkward but he wanted to reach for his emotional support person in life so he just did it, posing bedamned. the way connor is Working that camera and turned hudson clinging on into a vehicle to perfectly display his rings. the way it feels exactly like their dynamic on the carpet earlier that night. the way it sort of relegates françois to an awkward third wheel. the way most people would never guess from that pic that françois and connor were the two who had something going on (and that hudson has a gf somewhere close by lol). it’s perfect.
I think we ALWAYS should recentre this magnificent photo. honestly if I were francois i'd be mad as hell this was the shot they chose because he looks so gormless but you know this was the one because of the handholding. as always hudcon shining brighter than anyone else
p.s. how hudson has curled his fingers around connor's hand but connor doesn't hold his hand back (like you say he is too busy posing/showing off the rings) so mean connor :( why didn't you hold his hand like he wanted :(
