all hudson really did was pursue an acting career and he’s been constantly targeted, villanised, dehumanised, harrassed, smeared and misunderstood for seven months straight since the day one of being a public figure.
the tampa hotel scene destroys me. it’s shane’s first time openly telling someone he’s gay, ilya’s first time talking about his family, and maybe the first time he’s ever let himself cry in someone else’s arms. every wall came down that night
y’all realize that ilya raised himself, right? and that somehow, out of all that trauma, sadness and duty, he became a very strong, empathetic man who deserves all the love in the world
