#Crave

one of my serious favorite things abt heated rivalry is that they're still acting during sex. this seems obvious maybe but i think during a lot of movie sex scenes, actors revert to typical, expected mannerisms, where as connor storrie and hudson williams have specific mannerisms specifically for their characters that reflect their internal struggles/truths/experiences. this is difficult to talk about because people think i'm joking/don't take it seriously bc it's sex, but i'm serious. it's easily noticeable from connor storrie - ilya likes watching himself go in & out of shane & looks down to see it quite often; ilya likes groping shane's chest; ilya makes that one face all the time; ilya likes putting his fingers in shane's mouth. but it's also apparent from hudson williams - shane is very repressed and stunted about his pleasure at the beginning of each scene, but loses himself/relaxes continuously (particular favorite of mine is the first time they go all the way - shane is at first annoyed/embarrassed by ilya repeatedly asking him if he's okay [shane's complicated relationship with masculinity] but by the end is just moaning and has allowed himself to go lax, facedown); shane is clearly learning tricks from ilya (ex. the chest groping & fingers in mouth); shane gets overwhelmed when he looks at ilya for too long during sex and has to look away or close his eyes.

i just have an insane amount of respect for these guys. and i could make a whole other post about how they use sex to show the shifting dynamics in shane & ilya's relationship and especially the significance of sex in episode six

This kiss shattered Shane and I both I think

First look at Crave’s new original series Slo Pitch.

The fact that Shane certainly had that dream so many times, to see Ilya at the cottage, the place that feels most like home to him. And now it's real, Ilya is there, and they're finally gonna be together for two whole weeks, and he is so giddy about it. He's not the only one, Ilya is smiling back. This feels like the happiest day of their life. They are both so ridiculously in love with each other, i'm gonna cry 😭

No, but listen, because imagine you're a waiter, serving sides and such, vaping in the walk-in, and arguing over who has to take the church group's table.

Then you audition for a show, and the director is like, "Listen, I'm not going to lie to you guys, this show is horny as hell, and bussy will be thrown. For what it's worth, we don't anticipate a huge viewership."

And both you and your costar, who are flying freak flags visible from space were like, "Sir, bussy will not only be thrown, it will be lobbed, it will be tossed, it will be launched from a fucking plasma cannon."

You film the show, thinking you'll be back at work when it wraps.

The show airs, and becomes the Debbie Does Dallas of erotica adaptations. TV's glow across the nation. You instigate a sexual awakening of horny middle aged housewives who now finally understand what those young whippersnappers mean why they say sexuality is a spectrum.

You invade the Golden Globes. The nepo babies smell like fear. You record smut for Quinn. The straight girls have now gone feral and they've split into factions. It's like an episode of Fallout.

Then you're invited to carry the Olympic torch. In Milan. It's been three months since the show aired. You haven't slept.

That is what happened to Connor and Hudson. I honestly get why people are so parasocial about these two. It's so much fun watching two random guys speed run fame. It's so raw and relatable. I can't stop laughing at the chain reaction these two set off.

When people ask me what my sense of humor is, it's literally this.

Hudson Williams for Balenciaga.
