okay im 6 episodes into fellow travelers and damn this really is a WHOLE different thing than the book. like they kept a FEW of the same characters and like some of the very most basic foundations of it but d a m n they changed SO much

#im honestly kinda disappointed?#like i wish it were closer to the book #also theres not nearly enough mary in this smh #but yeah they like. did not get the dynamic between hawk and tim right.#its weird in the show. it feels like they got it backwards #like in the book tim is very much the one that is obsessed for lack of better word with hawk #and hawk is very blase about it and tries to play it cool and not show his emotions/feelings about their relationship #but in the show it feels like hawk is the one thats obsessed with tim #also lucy has a WAY bigger way EARLIER role in the show than in the book and im not a fan tbh #i thought she seemed sort of sweet in the book and like understanding in a way. but show lucy is very much neither of those things lol #also the whole aids storyline..... that.... Does Not exist in the book #like they actually make it a point to say that tim DIDNT have aids #so like to add that into the show and to make it a BIG storyline in it too.... also not a fan #plus the way they have hawk like visiting and heping tim when in the book he literally Does Not see tim again before he dies #i feel like that just kinda takes away some of the tragicness of the books ending!!#its obviously a different kind of tragedy in the show but yeah idk it hit harder in the book i feel like #also i am enjoying this b plot of the writer dude and the drag queen but that was defs not in the book #also tim NEVER met hawks children ever so it feels very weird to see him like. spending time with hawks son??#fellow travelers #mack reacts
