JONATHAN BAILEY - Bridgerton s3 vs Fellow Travelers

"The fascinating thing about Tim is that ... I wanted to explore the pain and the discomfort in his own skin. I'd seen these sorts of characters - doe-eyed, soft and overly generous characters - and I just felt with him instinctively that he was a really complicated character and also it was a complete 180 from Anthony Bridgerton. More than anything, it's a great thrill to be able to go from a straight lead to a gay romance." - Jonathan Bailey, The Jess Cagle Show

"It's such a testament to Jonny's talent that he was so ... invested in Bridgerton but then showed up in such a profound way for Fellow Travelers too, you would never know that he was shooting three things at the same time." - Matt Bomer, The Jess Cagle Show

Okay I'm going to do something I have never done before. But I keep thinking about it so at this point I just need to try.

I'm going to write my review of FT and the growth Tim went through in particular.

This show remains to be on my mind a lot, and I feel like I checked all the boxes of grief. I went from sadness, to angry, to acceptance to all that comes in between. 

Obviously, since I'm a JB girlie, I started watching for him. Simply because I wouldn't have known about this show if I wasn't. Which is a bummer, because I'm also a huge political junkie, and like to think I know a lot about it as well.

BUT HOW I FOOLED MYSELF, because even though I knew about McCarthyism, I was completely unaware about the Lavender scare that happened at the same time. And I've studied history and my main focus was American history.. 

That being said, it's needed to point out that I loved being clueless and actually learning something from this show. (Or any show in particular). I think the writers did an amazing job, every detail seemed relevant, and the on-going tension wasn't just visible at the start of Hawk's and Tim's relationship, but everywhere, in every decade.

I may be looking at this way too deeply, or not at all. But for me, Tim and how he develops are kinda insync with the decades the show covers.

At first, there's the doubt, the desire from Tim to stay in the closet, because he feels like the world isn't ready. Which made him not ready.

Then there's him, still doubting himself and all that he believes in, but accepting parts of him, choosing celibacy and fighting for a bigger cause. 

The next time we see him, there's a party where he can be completely himself, at a place where there are only mutuals. But in the end it's not real, not what he was looking for, not what he needed. And Tim still faces the consequences of being who he is. 

At the end, there's acceptance, he searched for a place where there was. But it still wasn't enough, because he had to die fighting for equality. Fortunately he had embraced who he was, and wholeheartedly believed he was good enough. But there was also pain. Being treated as something dirty, hurt. Seeing the person that caused a lot of this madness on television, still denying who he was, made him angry. 

But he surrounded himself with people he loved. People who fought alongside him for justice. 

That's why I ended up accepting everything, even though it didn't have a happy ending. It is because Tim did. In a way, Tim ended up getting everything he deserved. From Hawk, from the people he loved and that cared for him, and from the world.

His death wasn't in vain. And it never will be the same again because of what he did. Because he chose to stand up for his rights, and the people that he loved.

I absolutely loved Tim when I first saw him, and at the end I knew I wanted to be like him. I want to be as open for love, as ready to be happy, and as strong and determined to fight for what I think is right as he was. 

He started out as a someone that was insecure, and ended up being the bravest fucking person of that whole damn show. He never made excuses for who he was, tried to find ways to cope, and still remained so sweet and caring.

How easy would it have been to tell Lucy, or Jackson? Or return “the favor” and tell Hawk's office? 

How convenient would it be to step back into that closet, find a girl and live the same half-life Hawk did. 

No, Tim didn't. Tim always stayed true to himself, even when he didn't like it. 

And that's admirable. That's why I love him. It's also why I was so sad the world lost him, but also why I saw his world needed him.

one of the wonderful things about living in a queer neighborhood is that all the bus ads are for fellow travelers

[christopherlightwoodchasm]

since even before m&g came out, I've been wondering how it'd affect my fellow travelers Emmy predictions. now that I've finished, I still think Matt Bomer deserves lead actor (even though Nick was amazing too, and I just get the vibe that matt won't win anyway), but I genuinely think Jonathan Bailey might have a competitor in Tony Curran, and I really wasn't expecting that

But still, Julianne Moore needs lead actress, and if anyone else gets it I will riot

Fellow Travelers - Tim + puppy head tilt

[imgonnagetkilledbynutstink]

Jonathan Bailey says the most unhinged shit just cause he can. My favorites so far are (a lot of them need context)

*context: Jonathan at age 11 in school to his peers* "does anyone else think they're gay??"

*context: talking about if dating was better in the regency era or now* "well as a gay man *wink* I'm gonna have to say now"

"I think I might be the only out gay man to have straight allegations"

RuPaul: where do you keep your Olivier award?

Jonny: that's a secret, and I'm sitting on it right. now.

*context: Matt Bomer hurt his toe, this topic is brought up after a scene of Jonny sucking Matt's feet in a TV show has gone viral* "I needed to kiss it better"

Kinda want to move to London after I graduate and it’s that weird world of the UK is clearly worse than Ireland in many ways at the moment but London is still better than anything we have in this country.
