i went to langara with hudson (i can show proof i dont want my face seen though. i can send my badge or something) but hudson and i rarely interacted. we were known to eachother through friends and because i also dated a known student so everyone kind of knew me. but our relationship was one like we’d walk past eachother and maybe engage in small talk but thats it.

anyways we started getting closer towards late 2021 when i moved to port moody to go to a different college. we’d hang out every now n then until i’d say close to early 2023. he started either dating or became friends with K. hudson started bringing her everywhere even if no one else invited her, knew her, or even liked her. a ton of our friends then and currently hold a form of disdain for her. she was kind of rude in the sense of never saying ”hey” to anyone or addressing them until you addressed her first. or like think of someone that reaches over your food abruptly without saying excuse me or asking you to pass them whatever they’re reaching for.

it got worse as the months went on to the point where he wasn’t happy around her. for the first i’d say 5 months it was bliss between them but then his smile started to diminish with everyone but especially with her. K started to force herself into the groups everyday things but especially hudson and i everyday things. no more filming together (yes we filmed a couple short films together the best in my opinion ”good boy”) To be honest his liking for short films lessened during that period and most if any that we’re released during that time frame were pre recorded.

In almost every situation when K was around the energy was just sucked right up and she feeds off of that energy of knowing you dislike her. She also is very back stabby was known in our work place to tell everyone’s secret to the next person. I try to avoid her as much as possible and I’ve distanced myself quite a bit which i hate doing to my friends but her presence really is draining. i can go on and on but its in the ams where im at currently lol I’ll try to tune in though for other anons.

Lol this just came in as I was getting ready to post OG Van anon's hypothetical storytime🫠

I'm always hesitant to post stories about her that sound exactly like who we are perceiving her to be here... but there's a fucking reason we're perceiving her that way🙃

What’s more likely?

That he changed his philosophy towards his fandom, fame and brand in a matter of a few weeks and chose to revamp his entire strategy for some arbitrary reason, or

That the big team circus machine behind him is pushing him into an aggressively half-thought strategy, and pressuring him to make moves that don’t align with his own values, for some big reason we don’t yet see.

Here’s the easy litmus test.

Has he seemed happy to you?

Does he look like he’s suddenly, finally living his truth and being himself 200%? Because surely he must be, if he’s finally decided to just Be Himself (as the loons say) and turn his entire viewpoint on its head.

The performance is not for us. Don’t be fooled.

What’s more likely - that he lied to us for several, several months, or that he’s temporarily lying now in the last few weeks?

You don’t have to work this hard to try [and fail] to convince people of a real relationship.

You don’t have to work this hard to convince people of a strictly platonic friendship, up to and including keeping said friends from being publicly see together on the same continent.

Which begs the question, why are folks working so hard?

I have that shirt too, kinda

No they’re gonna make me go crazy, how is it always this insane thread with even the most random things

Put them under the definition of soulmatism.

Sometimes using comfortable to describe a relationship is viewed as a negative - like the relationship has hit a plateau and become more of a habit than a passion. However, I’d argue feeling comfortable is one of the key facets of meaningful long term relationships.

I saw the behind the scenes video of the Heated Rivalry photoshoot again recently and it reminded me of Connor’s quote “Nothing really had to click, it was there” about his and Hudson’s chemistry. Of course, chemistry is very important in relationships and I don’t think anyone can argue they didn’t have that. However, I wanted to focus on what I believe is the next step in relationship progression: comfort. The state of trusting and feeling accepted enough to be yourself with someone.

In my opinion, this 30-second glimpse Hudson and Connor entering this stage perfectly.

Here’s the full video for you all to watch, then I’ll tell you what I see when I watch it 🧐

Comfort is Play

From all the scenes they’ve done, we know Hudson and Connor are very comfortable touching each other - there are no surprises or jumping when Hudson literally has his hands between Connor’s legs. However, the moments shown here are different than just being comfortable touching/being around each other. There’s a playful enjoyment and flirtatiousness in their actions, Hudcon are perfectly relaxed and supported together.

Comfort is Care

These moments reminded me of the VF After Party when Connor helped Hudson adjust his train. Hudson and Connor help each other, it’s a sort of casual intimacy - spouses helping each other adjust their clothes (or Connor picking invisible lint of Hudson).
