A gentle reminder that all of this could be easy. Simple. Tidy.

At any time, Hudson could have shut down the romantic speculation about him and Connor.

At any time, he could tell us that’s his bestie, he loves him like a brother, they have a nice bromance, or whatever other nonsense men that like each other platonically say.

No one is forcing him to flirt with that man in public. Online. In interviews. On camera. Off camera.

No one pressed him to talk about their relationship that bloomed into something lovely. No one pushes him to use romantic language when he answers questions. Every interviewer that asks about their connection gives him a platonic way out. Every time, they present the question in a friendship-shaped box and every time, he eagerly undoes the ribbon and says oh no, i love him. my soulmate, my baby. I need to hold my baby.

Mentioning him unprompted, drawing hearts on his pictures, dedicating special slides. No one told him to mention him several times yesterday. No one told him to dedicate his most prestigious award to him last weekend.

No one tells Hudson to touch that man intimately, to hold him closely, to caress his hands and kiss his face. To sit in his lap and share drinks and cigarettes.

This has never been part of the narrative. This is him, choosing to recenter his love for that man every time he gets enough room to breathe freely.

He’s making these choices, every day.

So respectfully, yes, we all have our opinions about the Situation. We all have different, valid interpretations. But one thing you will never do is convince me that he doesn’t wake up every single day loving that man, and making the active choice to share his love for him where all of us can see it.

He’s not even private about it. For as much as they share only with each other, he still carves out time to make sure that we know how much he thinks about him, and that his world and his universe would grind to a halt without Connor in it. It’s imperative to him that we all know he would kill any one of us for him.

And I didn’t even include shipping into this… this is just taking him at face value. 100% face value.

I see a lot of angry solos and antis and gossips chiming in these days to say mean-spirited things like, “he doesn’t love Connor.”

I have to ask…

When has he not loved Connor?

He’s always loved him. He’s loving him out loud. That’s not something anyone should be debating.

I've gone through many celebrity crush phases in my life, and Christian Bale was high on my list in high school through college. Because of this I went to see movies I wouldn't normally go see because he was in them. One of those movies was The Prestige. It's a movie starring Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman as rival magicians who spend years trying to outdo the other with the perfect magic trick. There's lots of plot twists, which is why the common refrain throughout the movie is "Are You Watching Closely?" Everything is revealed in the end if you were paying attention. That's how I feel about Hudcon and the constant need people feel for distracting from their relationship. However, if you're looking closely there are too many overlapping patterns that are hard to ignore.

I had never really intended to write posts on my blog when I started it, but when all of that C/F mess started back in January, I had to get all my thoughts together and one of my first posts was this one.

https://www.tumblr.com/afro-star/806859285973860352/i-tend-to-spiral-before-i-come-to-my-final?source=share

Writing that post helped me put things in perspective and I've been off and running ever since. I didn't think it was possible for people to turn H/K into C/F 2.0, but they have, and I'm starting to see the parallels and patterns from earlier this year and it's utterly bizarre.

The Patterns: After a while those of us who never bought into the gossip about C/F started to notice a pattern emerge with this narrative.

After a Hudcon moment, either at an event or both of them receiving praise or accolades, a BS story would run about C/F. Then, usually Hudson would post something, or we'd get Hudcon content from some other source, and everything would reset again. Rinse and repeat.

The "moments" when Connor and F were at the same events were blown out of proportion and made to seem more than what they were. Work events that they were both at with other people turned into endless "hard launches" when there were logical explanations as to why they'd be at the same place and it was never because they were there as a couple.

Everything about these "moments" were presented in a way to get an immediate reaction from you, so that you wouldn't take a closer look. For example, people acting like F and Connor being at Paris Fashion Week and staying at the same hotel meant they were there "together", even a few crappy media outlets framed it this way. The reality is they were both there with Robbie and they were all there for YSL. All you had to do was look closer but during this time period everyone just took everything at face value with no nuance.

Now that we've had a refresher on that C/F cycle from hell, let's move onto the new one we've seemed to enter with H/K.

It seemed like the stans invested in C/F and F himself needed to rely on that rinse and repeat cycle, because there truly was never anything but speculation, rumor, and innuendo to go on. Everything was an exaggeration of the truth and relied on your gut reaction to those "moments". I think people got lulled into a false sense of security where H/K are concerned because it's a "real relationship" but honestly, it's like they're using the C/F playbook and it's even worse in my opinion because it's supposed to be a real relationship not a made up rumor.

Parallels:

Hudson and K moments tend to happen either before or after an event when speculation around the nature of Hudcon's relationship gets loud, usually based on Hudcon's behavior themselves. After Hudcon SNL, K is with Hudson at the VF After Party. Now after the Met Gala, we're suddenly getting H/K content from Vancouver before the CSAs. A different kind of rinse and repeat, and one that's harder to pull off because Hudson and Connor's behavior at SNL/VF Silver Carpet/Met Gala is hard to overshadow with half assed attempts to push H/K.

The "moments" with Hudson and K are worse, because with C/F people were working off of nothing to try and make it appear they were together. With Hudson and K, they are supposed to be in a "long term" relationship and yet every moment we've been privy to between them whether public on a Silver Carpet in Hollywood or private on a couch in Vancouver, gives the same tepid energy. The energy never gives attentive/romantic so drawing attention to it seems to be counterproductive to the narrative that's supposed to be presented and pushed.

Again, these "moments" are presented to get a reaction without taking a closer look. An example of this I talked about in February was the V-Day IG story. Initially we're all supposed to look at that post as confirming/hard launching his relationship with K. It's V-Day so it's got to be special right? Except when you look closer you realize Hudson added Connor at the top of the collage in the story and circled a heart around his head. Many of the moments with H/K involve Connor because Hudsom makes sure they do, and that deserves a closer look.

Now the parallels of H/K content with C/F content aren't a perfect 1:1 comparison, nor are they under the same circumstances. One "relationship" was purely rumor and speculation. The other is allegedly the longest "long term" relationship ever. However, the thing they have in common is that they both illicit the same negative emotions of dread and dooming in this Fandom. Both narratives are designed to suck the joy out of Hudcon (if you let it, don't let it) and distract you from that relationship. Now what's odd about that is that if Hudson and Connor are just two costars who happen to be best friends as well, why would their friendship be a threat to any other alleged relationships? We know why but let me get on to yesterday's shenanigans.

The Longest Day Ever:

So, when I took that mini break a few weeks ago, that basically amounted to a 24-hour break, I missed Kalem posting that couch picture of Hudson and K. Then people realized that this picture was on the same day as the group "ice cream date" that Hudson and K were on with their friends, that was posted by Hudson's friend Samantha. Then yesterday Samantha posts a "vlog" in which it's shown that Hudson's friends apparently surprised him at home before going for this ice cream field trip. Then DM decides to post a video of Hudson and K walking together in another on this same day. We know it was all on the same day because Hudson's outfit is the same throughout. That's a long ass day 🤣.

There are several things that stand out about that Day's Events and the way they've been shared.

Vancouver Friend Group: This group of friends moves weird. I'm sorry I'm not going to sugar coat it. When Hudson and Connor were hanging out with his Actor friends on NYE, they posted videos and pictures they took during the evening at the Go Kart event, then at the big dinner and that was it. No dragging out the time they spent with them weeks after the fact. The way this one day was dragged out and posted is weird. Because this surprise/ice cream party was two weeks ago and that "vlog" was posted yesterday and the video of Hudson and K walking was yesterday. It would seem logical to post anything related to that day the same time the Ice Cream picture and couch picture were posted. I'm not going to say any more about this group, but this particular day made them all look a little sus.

Surprise: This one is interesting because if Hudson was coming back to Vancouver, I would assume that he would inform his "gf" and other friends when he'd be back in town. When you're back in town, you let people know and you link up if you have the time. These are all people he knows including his "gf", so what was the surprise? Why was it needed? Was there someone there he didn't think could make it? It just seems odd, also how long has it been since he's seen these people again that includes his gf that would necessitate a surprise get together.

The Walk: This month started out with accounts that Hudson and Connor were with each other all night at the Met Gala and when they weren't, they were looking for each other. We have pictures of Hudson looking at Connor like he hung the moon and resting his head on Connor's shoulder like he was recharging. We have accounts of their After Party shenanigans that went on into the early morning. Accounts of holding hands, sitting in laps, and bathroom breaks together. We have pictures of Met Gala selfies alone in a bathroom, and a picture Hudson posted of Connor bending over with his mouth open under a faucet in a pose deemed suggestive enough by Tumblr to smack it with a Mature label. And of course, that "walk of pride" Hudson took back to his hotel sans most of his outfit from the evening before. After all of that we're supposed to be moved by a quick video of Hudson and K from behind where we can't see their expressions looking like the Golden Girls on a stroll? I really don't understand the logic. However, what this video reminds me of is another one that raggedy DM posted.

I had seen the video of Connor, F, and Tayler on Twitter before DM posted it. It was clearly taken without their knowledge, and it was no big deal, just all of them walking. F puts his hand on Connor's back briefly, as if to steady Connor when he was walking on some uneven ground and that was it. However, that video, and F's response 🙄was enough to send this Fandom into a C/F hell cycle we're still trying to shed ever since. This video DM posted of Hudson and K gives similar vibes. It's taken from behind, presumably without their knowledge, and it just looks like two friends walking. However, DM would have you believe that this video is confirmation of the greatest love story ever told to combat "rumors" that no one was spreading. It's also strange she claims she's had this video for a while and then posted it after Samantha posted her vlog. Why hold on to that video and who did she get it from since she claims fans sent it in? Just messy behavior from an obnoxious person who knows nothing. We've seen every picture or Hudson sighting have the "Was K with Him?" question attached to it over the past few weeks. So, it's odd that when there was actually a video of him with K, we're just seeing it now. So much drama for a video that amounts to nothing but a walk lacking any romantic chemistry.

We Outside: After the longest day ever, we got pictures and video various fans posted this week of Hudson, still in Vancouver. Again, it all appears to be on the same day since he's wearing the same outfit in all the pictures and video. What's interesting is Hudson got the label of "Community Boyfriend" again for these pictures. This is due to the fact that Hudson tends to lean in with his arm around people's waist, and make it seem like he knows these people he's just met. Nothing seems awkward even though these are strangers. Now for all the people who claim that some couples are just private, and don't do PDA, and Hudson and K aren't like that. Then why is it that Hudson can look like everyone else's boyfriend in a picture (including Connor's) but with his actual "gf" it looks stiff/staged. Y'all can make up all the reasons you want about their behavior, but knowing how touchy-feely Hudson is, (wrapping his leg around the Prime Minister after meeting him for the first time), he's stiffness with his "long term" gf stands out.

Look Closely: I brought up the C/F pattern to remind us we've played these games before of being told what to think, rather than taking a closer look at what's being presented. You don't have to agree with me and my mutuals about the nature of Hudcon's relationship, however there is a weird theme that has persisted of needing to amplify Hudson and Connor being attached to other people to distract or diminish their bond with each other.

Class Project: I said months ago that presenting K publicly at VF was like a class project that should've been done weeks ago but was completed at 3 in the morning the day the project was due. The execution fell flat, mostly due to Hudson's unwillingness to play ball and amplify his "long term" relationship over his "private friendship". I don't know if I still agree that K is a buffer and a friend helping Hudcon so that people don't stick their nose to deep into Hudcon's relationship. This is because H/K is being pushed too hard to downplay Hudcon not protect it. I guess we'll see.

Final Thoughts: People enjoy unnecessary drama, especially on Twitter. CSA is giving out some Awards tonight before the ceremony tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing the Ladies of Heated Rivalry, like Sophie and Ksenia who are also nominated. Heated Rivalry could win all of the awards it's nominated for and even if it doesn't, the visibility of this Queer story is important. People should focus on that because Heated Rivalry, its success and its accolades have nothing to do with a tattoo artist in Vancouver. If a small group continues to make it about her, we'll continue to comment, so if you don't want to get your panties in a bunch because you don't like what some of us say, leave her unperceived. Lastly, correct me if I'm wrong Season 2 is still going to start production this summer, right? Nothing is stopping Hudcon's friendship and relationship nor their work on Heated Rivalry. So, pop some champagne and get excited.

One of the many consistent themes we see with both Connor and Hudson is that they build their teams like family. I think this is incredibly important for them both in the midst of the complete whirlwind their lives have become in the span of six months.

It seems deeply important to them to have people around them they trust - especially given that the true inner circle also has to manage the privacy of their relationship. Managers, agents, glam/stylists all navigate the complexity of their lives right alongside them.

I often say "they move like a couple," and the evidence of this is clearest in how their teams operate. The amount of coordination that seems to happen around them is not something people do just for co-stars in the entertainment industry; they only do that for fairly serious romantic relationships.

Private, Open, Unspoken

I often refer to their relationship as an open secret in the industry. While I think the boys have limited control around each other, I also feel part of why they are so open in private industry settings is that they aren't exactly hiding anything; the truth is evident, just unspoken.

They know that enough people are aware of their relationship that they are less careful in more private/exclusive settings, as we saw at the Met Gala. Assuming the story of Hudson walking into Connor's arms from the side while Connor was having an entire conversation is true (which I do not doubt is 1000% possible), they didn't bat an eye at doing that around other industry people. I take that as a sign that the word is out to some degree, but in true Hollywood style, people don't talk about it in a iykyk way - especially given they are the current"it" boys that an unusual number of industry people seem to be obsessed with almost as much as the general public.

Fandom Willful Ignorance and Skewed Reality

I think some in the fandom like to play armchair manager/agent and throw shade on how their PR and careers are being managed. What those folks fail to realize, just ignore, or choose to rely solely on tarot readings for, rather than real evidence, is that there are literally teams of people managing this behind the scenes with information we have absolutely no insight into. All the doom and fixation on peripheral rumors and people just reinforces that some folks will always choose the worst-case scenario based on their own insecurities and personal challenges.

A-List Stratosphere

I say all this to come back to the theme of the importance of their teams and the relationships they have to each other and to Connor and Hudson. Will there be people who they realize are not a good fit and cycle out of the program? Of course, that will happen both personally and professionally, and is normal as their careers continue to rise. However, based on what we have seen so far, these boys are thriving, and they would not be doing that without the support of their teams behind them now that they are operating in the A-List stratosphere.

I continue to observe and trust that the boys have each other, trusted family, and a true inner circle of friends (not Hudson's random outer-ring friends, who are more suspect) and teams that are all working together to support them and execute the goals Connor and Hudson have for themselves. Yes, they are new to this game, but they are also not mute infants - they know what they want for themselves and their relationship together.

Ilya then has the rest of the Centaurs help him make a compilation of secretly filmed Shane moments showing how good a boyfriend he is

Ilya doing the “would you still love me if I was a worm?” thing and without missing a beat or asking any questions Shane just goes “Yeah”

Harris films himself asking Shane random Ilya questions and Shane always having an answer. “Hey what Ilya’s favorite milkshake flavor?” “Mint.” “I’m buying everyone fun socks, what’s Ilya’s favorite color?” “Blue, but only if it’s light, he doesn’t like dark blue.” “What’s Ilya’s favorite fruit?” “Pears.”

Troy waits for Shane to sit on the bench looking at his phone or tying his skates then says “Oh hey Ilya’s coming in” and catches multiple examples of Shane immediately scootching over to one side to make room for Ilya to sit next to him

Ilya puts his feet up on Shane’s lap silently and Shane starts lightly massaging them. Ilya lays his head on Shane’s shoulder and Shane starts quietly playing with his hair

They film Ilya handing Shane random things and asking him to hold them and Shane does without question. The internets favorite is the one where Ilya pulls a pineapple out of his bag and asks Shane to hold it and he agrees, getting his gear on one handed so he can keep holding the pineapple in the other

I’ll give you a question back: why wouldn’t it?

They’ve essentially been stealing what little time together that they can, for months. Months of being pulled in different directions, only having a few days together at a time, while trying to untangle and solve a complex, ever-shifting mess of questions and challenges.

They’ve spent most of those fleeting days just enjoying each other’s company, sure. But think of the cottage in HR: isn’t it euphoric to finally have enough time to relax, and actually take the time to dig into the important stuff?

They’ll have days together, a luxury they rarely have had. Days of both doing what they love, the shared passion that brought them together, and actually being in a supportive, loving environment that (as far as we know) makes them feel safe.

We cannot get to the cottage soon enough, if you ask me.

Assuming that Chronic Thinker Hudson and Strategizer Connor will not tackle any of their complex, deeply important questions and concerns (even while busy working) is misguided, imo. They can walk and chew gum at the same time.

They might leave the cottage a romantic couple that’s more sure of themselves than ever. They might leave it deciding to reframe their dynamic as something different (never weaker, to be clear). We don’t know. We can’t know.

But what I feel sure of, is that they’ll leave it with far less webs and knots and chains than they brought in. The weight that can be lifted off their shoulders could prove tremendous.

I think too many of y’all are inserting K as some boogeyman, too. They both are well aware of how they want to address that Situation. They’ve been addressing it, in ways we don’t get to see. She doesn’t scare either of them, or impact them the way she does many of y’all here. We don’t even know how involved she will be by then. Trust me.

Amid all the energy and chaos that revolves around Hudson, the thought popped into my mind: What about Connor?

Where is he in all of this?

We are so used to analyzing whatever the F is going on with our favorite chaos monster that it is easy to miss the discussion of how Connor fits into or feels about all of this.

My first thought is that, whatever is going on with The Situation, Connor and Hudson are aligned on what is happening, if not entirely certain about how it all rolls out publicly.

Secondly, I don't think there is any doubt about how they feel about each other. I suspect that all of it was clarified last September when Connor went to Vancouver for that first visit to see Hudson. These are not two people who leave much unsaid between them. They have both shared how much they open up to each other in ways they can't with anyone else, given the unique circumstances of their relationship and careers. You can not navigate what they are going through by leaving things unsaid - honesty is imperative when you are trying to grow and develop a relationship in the middle of an intense and chaotic, high-energy crossfire hurricane [Rolling Stones shoutout].

Although they are both still young, the past six months have required them to grow up incredibly fast, and given the nature of the relationship I believe they have built, they are having to build the plane while they're flying it.

While many of us often talk about sweet, sunshine Connor, do not be fooled. Connor has had to overcome so much in his young life to get to where he is, believing in himself and fighting negativity aimed at him, which is sometimes overlooked. Connor is our sensitive, emotional Piscean man, but I suspect he is also strong as hell to have come through so much with that smile and love for life still intact.

That strength is what I feel allows him to sit back and hold space for Hudson to navigate his path, but I don't think he would do that unless Hudson has already been very clear about the depth of their relationship and what they want to build together. Hudson has proven he supports Connor - we saw that at SNL when he made sure to be there for him regardless of his own schedule - and that was public. I can't imagine what they have done to repeatedly show unconditional love to each other in private, in any number of big and small ways.

Have no doubt that Connor knows what kind of power he walks around with regarding his inner and external beauty and attractiveness. While he is still humble, he knows he's a smokeshow with the personality to match. He could be out there doing all sorts of things, and Connor, I am sure, comes with his own form of chaos.

However, I suspect he and Hudson mutually locked all that down last year before their lives got crazy.

I think Connor and Hudson know they have a once-in-a-lifetime connection. Every time they are together, it seems increasingly obvious, which is why they try to limit their public interaction.

Connor is not the damsel-in-distress pining or yearning; he is a grown-ass man who knows what he's trying to create with his life, and Hudson is a part of that for him. I think Connor has experienced more hardships in building relationships, primarily because people get wrapped up in what they think about who he is or what they want him to be for them.

Hudson has not had challenges making friends or fitting in in quite the same way. He seems to have learned to mask and be a bit of a chameleon, while also maintaining/fighting for a strong sense of his own unique identity - ergo, the chaos monster.

While I think Hudson gets it too, I feel Connor better understands the gravity and preciousness of their relationship. I don't think he would stay committed to making this work otherwise. Connor knows what he wants and is willing to stand strong amid the chaos that comes with Hudson (not always of his own doing) to pursue what they both know is a long-term, life-changing relationship.

you know i will take any and all opportunity to talk about them, so this is just a delightful ask. disclaimer: i used my own archive for reference because i know i have reblogged everything i love lmao and i couldn't find another source that had everything in one place.

i knew from the first moment i saw them interact during one of their premieres that we were about to witness something special

the casual 'babe' during them responding to fan texts....

i know i know, this wasn't officially part of the press tour, BUT it did happen DURING the press tour, and it was too cute not to include

chivalry isn't dead

the very end of this vid where they talk about their matching sex sells tattoo

the hi tops event is the gift that kept on giving

might as well sit on each other's laps tbh

connor baby butt baby

that's HIS hudson.

I’m curious about something,you wrote in one of your comment that Connor was super protective over Hudson,and he knows Hudson is a softie under the mask he wears if being strong,why doesn’t he do it for people to see he does,am not saying everything they do should be online ,but even his fans think he’s doesn’t like Hudson because he ignores him,why can’t he show that he loves him publicly not privately???

I’m so curious about that

Hi baby🌸 I'm good thank you. I hope you're good too. This is a very sensitive topic so I'll try to explain it carefully.

But first, I want to explain why H gets so much hate. And then I'll answer your question.

The 10th house dictates public reputation, career standing, and how the masses perceive you. H has a massive concentration of energy here. Sun, Mercury, Uranus, and Lilith are all in Aquarius in the 10th House. ​Aquarius is the sign of the unconventional pioneer. H refuses to play by traditional rules. This triggers some people.

​Uranus conjunct his Sun and Mercury makes his public persona electric, but it also triggers sudden, shocking reversals in public opinion. Toxic fans who want him to be a blank slate or fit a rigid mold are deeply triggered by his unapologetic individuality.

​While his 10th House makes the attacks highly visible, his placements in Scorpio explain the nature of this hate campaign. Scorpio rules hidden agendas, secret malice, underworld behavior, and deep-seated jealousy.

​H has a high-stress planetary configuration known as a Fixed T-Square. His 10th House Aquarius Sun/Mercury/Uranus is squaring his 6th House Scorpio Moon/Mars, and both are squaring Saturn in Taurus in the 12th House. This T-square creates an environment where his massive career success automatically activates shadow enemies, hidden blockages, and institutional resistance. The smear campaigns are the physical manifestation of this. It is calculated, relentless jealousy attempting to restrict his freedom and authority.

​H has Black Moon Lilith at 8° Aquarius, sitting tightly conjunct his Midheaven (MC) at 6°59’ Aquarius (with a narrow 1°51’ orb). The Midheaven is your highest public peak. Lilith represents raw power, taboo, and the parts of a person that society tries to demonize or suppress because they cannot control them. When Lilith is plastered right on the Midheaven, the public projects their own darkest shadows, biases, and fears onto that person. It causes people to actively try to vilify them. This placement is incredibly common for public figures who face organized smear campaigns, unfair media narratives, and intense, irrational public hatred.

​​H’s Gemini Ascendant (9°31’) sits directly opposite Pluto in Sagittarius (14°59’) on his Descendant. ​This axis ensures that his interactions with the public and "the outside world" will always involve intense power struggles. He naturally attracts highly intense, obsessive, or controlling external forces.

​BUT don't worry. There is a silver lining.

​While his chart explains why he is a lightning rod for targeted malice, it also proves he is built to survive it. ​With Mars in Scorpio in its home sign, H possesses an unparalleled emotional and psychological endurance. He is not a fragile wallflower; he is a fighter who gains power when backed into a corner.

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION;🌸

I know it is incredibly frustrating to watch someone you care about deal with public hate and feel like the person who is supposed to have his back is just staying silent. And I also know that it is easy to assume the worst: that he’s pulling away, or worse, that he doesn't care.

​But if we look at C’s chart and their relationship dynamics, the reason he is hiding his protectiveness isn't a lack of love. It is a deliberate, fiercely calculated choice to protect H.

​As I said before, their Composite Sun, Mercury, and Neptune are clustered in the 12th House. The 12th house rules hidden things, secrets, and the psychological underground. For C, the minute an interaction moves onto social media, it loses its purity and safety.

​C likely views the internet as a toxic arena. In his eyes, interacting publicly doesn't protect H; it just gives the racist haters a bigger target and more data to twist. By completely pulling back his online footprint, I think he was attempting to build a wall around their connection.

​C’s chart has a massive internal tension when it comes to conflict.​The Libra Moon (10th House). His emotional instinct is to seek absolute harmony, balance, and peace. He hates messy, public drama. Because his Moon is in the 10th House of public reputation, he is hyper-aware of how easy it is for a narrative to get completely warped online.

​Sagittarius Rising / Mars in Aries. Personally, C has the warrior energy to fight. But a Mars in Aries in the 4th house means his protective instincts are strictly domestic and private. He will defend his inner circle fiercely behind closed doors, but his Libra Moon tells him that a public social media statement will only feed the flame war and cause more stress for H.

​​H wears a cool, detached, rule-breaking mask to the world. He acts like the hate doesn't touch him. He has that "I don't care what the public thinks" energy. ​But C knows the truth: he sees H's Scorpio Moon in the 6th House. He knows that underneath the surface, H processes emotional stress deeply, quietly, and intensely, and that it physically affects his well-being. C’s silence isn't neglect; it is an effort to minimize the digital noise surrounding H.

​While we think the silence means "he doesn't like him," the charts tell the exact opposite story.

​Right now, H's Progressed Moon is perfectly docking onto C's Natal Moon at 7°-8° Libra. They are more emotionally synchronized than they have ever been.

​C’s protection is happening in the real world. He is showing up for H where it actually counts: in person, behind the scenes, and away from the comment sections.

​C isn't ignoring H because he wants to distance himself; he is ignoring the public to protect the relationship. He is a protective soul operating in a brutal industry. He has realized that the most powerful way he can defend H against toxic, racist fans is to deny them the satisfaction of seeing him react.
