Can we just talk for a moment about the “I want you to fuck me” sex scene! You know, the first and second time - okay and the third time - I watched this scene I was so caught up in the heat and passion, and the all consuming lust they have for one another that I didn’t think much beyond that.

But the emotional significance of this moment between them is incredible and I love it when tv/film sex scenes drive the story and their character’s development so beautifully.

Seeing the power imbalance between them at the start of the show and how it slowly shifts over time is so well done, but I love this moment in particular because…

* Hawk initially attempts to exert his dominance by trying to force the milk onto Tim. Tim stops this by not complying but taking the bottle from Hawk. But then he CHOOSES, for himself, to drink it. Chooses to seduce Hawk. Sits in his power while Hawk drowns in want and drips with lust.

* The dialogue is masterful- Hawk referring to “my skippy” -letting Tim know that he still belongs to Hawk. But then acknowledging (“he’s all grown up now”) - they are coming back together as equals.

* Then Hawk completely surrenders to Tim - asking to be fucked, needing it, letting himself be completely vulnerable and out of control for Tim - something we know he’s never allowed before (and never does again!!)

* This scene also helps us truly understand how much Hawk has been pining for Tim - his primal need and love for Tim is laid bare here (and also in the naked dancing scene - which made me cry!)

Still crying over the episode 12 hours after watching 😭😭😭💔💔💔🥵🔥🥵❤️❤️❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Skippy Playing with Hawks ears 🥹😭🩷

I think about these moments far too often 😅

The second one is one of my favorites, but the ear playing in the 70s threesome scene always makes me super emotional 😭

It’s like it’s Skippys way of saying “I’m here and I’ve got you” 🥺🩷

Tim had an obsession with Hawks ears like Hawk had an obsession with Tim’s nipples 🤭🤭

I tried my best with this piece... this series meant too much for me. It was difficult not to cry drawing it, but it's here. The series soundtrack brought me pure emotion, thank you Matt and Jonathan (and all the cast for this, and Ron). <3

for a lot of scenes between lucy and hawk there is a parallel scene between tim and hawk that shows how surface level the relationship between lucy and hawk is. a few examples:

lucy was gifted a tiffany bracelet by hawk for christmas while a few scenes before we saw that tim was gifted hawks cufflinks with the initials h.f. on them. hawk gives tim something personal, a part of him while he gives lucy, while expensive and beautiful, something materialistic with no personality attached to it whatsoever.

episode six was full of these parallels. we see lucy and hawk having sex. they're both fully clothed, it's quick and unpersonal. hawk seems to have sex with her that night for two reasons: one, he wants to prove to her that he is, in fact, aroused by her. that he can be the man she needs. he wants to prove to her that he can be that man because he saw her flirting with Chet Stover. he saw them coming out of the house together during the firework scene. hawk is, after all, a jealous man that likes to claim his property. he does not want to be ridiculed by his friends and least of all by his wife.

if we compare that to the several scenes where we see tim and hawk being intimate, we can see a very big difference. first of all they're never fully clothed, this symbolizes that they're open with one another. there are no secrets between them, no barriers holding them back when it's just the two of them. secondly, they don't just "have sex" they're intimate. they play with their kinks, they tease each other; it's about pleasure between them, not about performance, like it is for hawk with lucy.

in episode six we also see lucy and hawk struggling with raising jackson. neither of them know how to talk to him, which results in frustrations on both sides. then we're shown jackson interacting with tim. tim understands jackson, he knows what the boy is going through (because he's been through the same; not feeling loved by hawk the way he wanted to feel loved by him). we get a glimpse of how happy a family tim, hawk and a child (jackson in this case) could have been. how great a team they would make if given the chance. the way hawk shows up differently for his son after his talk with tim, the way jackson opens up to tim and feels understood by him.

lastly, another lovely detail to show the personal relationship between hawk & tim vs the impersonal one between hawk & lucy. hawk gives tim the nickname "skippy" after 0.001 seconds of knowing him, while he keeps referring to lucy as "lucy smith".

i love how fellow travelers shows the hardships queer people had to face in the past. especially because it doesn't show just one story but different one's and includes poc voices!!

I’ve seen quite a few “fans” comparing Matt and Jonathan’s performances in Fellow Travelers in the name of trying to dictate who they believe deserves more recognition or accolades.

I think it’s a fool’s errand to compare the difficulty of portraying these characters. Both of the actors needed to portray entirely different things.

Jonathan needed to bring every emotion to the surface to truly depict Tim and how he wore his heart on his sleeve and felt everything so deeply.

Matt needed to rely on a more subtle, unspoken acting as he repressed every emotion that Hawk could and would not express, while still making sure each of those emotions came across to the audience.

For me, they are both entirely deserving of all the accolades. Matt has undeniably lost out on more due to stacked categories, but it’s in absolutely no way a reflection on the actors or their abilities. It’s not a zero-sum game.

Fellow Travelers would not have hit as many of the right notes without the complementary and unique performances that the two leading men brought to their respective roles.

It hurts so much. But what they had in these moments was real. And, as Ron Nyswaner so beautifully put it, we're all in this together.

HELLO MY FELLOW TRAVELERS!

I, like many viewers, have been completely entranced by Hawk and Tim’s love story in Fellow Travelers. As a mature queer person, this show has been very emotional, and I am deeply invested. (I WILL riot if Tim doesn’t get to die in Hawk’s arms, and know that he is, and has always been, loved by Hawk.) But I digress.

Something that I have been fascinated by are the differing opinions that have surfaced about the characters, especially Hawk. I’m not looking for any arguments here, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and this is simply mine. To me, Hawk falls hard and fast for Tim. He breaks all his own rules for Tim - they topple over like a house of cards.

When we are introduced to Hawk, he’s cold and heartless with the men he hooks up with - they are nothing more than a body to fulfil his sexual needs and desires. He doesn’t do repeats and he doesn’t bring them home. But Tim, he instantly begins returning to, gets him a job, then allows him into his own apartment, etc. When Tim pushes back, Hawk relents further, letting him in emotionally, sharing parts of his past, crossing lines by introducing him to others in his circle, and so on.

Hawk is a traumatised man, carrying guilt and anger and shame, and a bucket load of fear! Yes, he has some internalised homophobia, but interestingly, he’s also extremely righteous about his homosexuality -and I don’t believe he thinks being gay is wrong in any way. (His response to his father is indicative of this).

I can personally say that I’ve never thought it was wrong to be queer, yet I spent much of my life hiding who I was and feeling shame. It’s an odd thing! Perhaps it is that the shame forms purely from what is outside of us, while what is inside of us can love another person of the same sex, knowing it is right and pure. Perhaps these contradictions between self and society are what causes so much pain and conflict?

But back to Hawk. Hawk is undoubtedly most affected by his teenage first love experience. A love that he fucked up through his own fears (fear for many men is unacceptable and a sign of weakness), and now carries the burden of believing he is responsible for their death. Hawk doesn’t allow himself to love again, until Tim. And we see many times throughout the show how much Hawk fears losing Tim. And in the end he’ll have to face that fear. I think that, in part, not attempting to have a life with Tim, is also fuelled by his fear of fucking it up and losing Tim - so it’s easier to just not attempt it! In episode 7, when he loses his son, part of that spiral is Hawk recognising that he can’t really prevent loss, and he wasted his life trying to be something he’s not - still losing his child and Tim along with it.

But Hawk is a survivor! And no one has the right to hate or judge him for it. I don’t think some young people truly understand what it feels like to live in a world where who you love can put you in jail, and destroy your life. I grew up in the 70s/80s and my experiences were bad enough, but I try so very hard to think about what it was like before that! When being queer was a crime and a mental illness! That’s pure terror! And for Hawk, he chose to survive the best way he knew how, and he wasn’t able to change because that’s fucking hard when all you’ve known is living in constant ‘fight or flight,’ and when have chronic trauma and experience collective trauma.

I think in episode 8 we’ll finally get to see Hawk grow - I certainly hope so - because he deserves to be free. Our beautiful Skippy has been free for some time, and while we mourn for the cruelty of a world that would take such a truly decent man, I am glad he got to live freely. Being closeted is the worst kind of suffering- a compartmentalised and fragmented existence where you are never truly whole, and therefore can never be the best version of yourself.

Before I go, I just wanted to also talk about being in a closeted relationship-which I experienced in my youth. I think that Hawk and Tim’s intense and toxic and exquisitely beautiful relationship, in part, arises from this. Because two closeted people in love live their relationship in secret, in a bubble, only in certain rooms, with none of the outside world reflected back at them. It becomes the two of you against the world. It’s so insular. Hawk and Tim literally live their 1950s relationship within two rooms - their apartments. All their memories are held within those walls. And it only belongs to them. They know each in ways that no other living soul does. It’s all-consuming and often unhealthy, but also stupidly romantic.

Anyway, sorry for this long winded post that no one will read and is likely full of grammatical errors because I’m tired! This atheist is praying we get everything we need from episode 8! Acceptance, forgiveness, understanding resolution, healing and a whole lot of love! ❤️

Cheers queers! 🏳️‍🌈

PS Matt and Johnny are exquisite on and off screen and I am so thankful to them for bringing these characters and this story into our lives!

Because of a conversation that I was in earlier I can’t stop thinking about this scene 🥹🩷.

Tim looking at Hawk with those big brown eyes and so happy and Hawk just asking “what?” And Tim going “it’s feels like we are on a date” 🥹

Hawk mentioning that he may make a pass. Them flirting even after all these years just 😭

Then after going outside to meet Tim after telling off Dave and apologizing. Tim giving his big beautiful and moving speech. “You were my great, consuming love. I have no regrets” and Hawk kissing him 🥹.

“Would you look at that? Out in public and the world didn’t come to an end” Tim teasing Hawk a little bit, but Tim was so happy and in love and finally got what he wanted after all of these years. All he wanted was public affection from Hawk and he finally got it 😭🩷

I know this scene and episode ends with Tim telling Hawk to go home, but they were still so in love.

My heart still breaks that Hawk wanted to stay, but it was too late.

They loved each other.. Beyond Measure 🥹🥹

(Photos I grabbed from a quick Google search 🩷)
