"Henry’s still looking up at the statue, but Alex can’t stop looking at him and the sly smile on his face, lost in his own thoughts. “And James’s son, Charles I, is the reason we have dear Samson. (...) One of the most beautiful pieces we own, and we didn’t even steal it. We only needed Villiers and his trolloping ways with the queer monarchs. To me, if there were a registry of national gay landmarks in Britain, Samson would be on it.” Henry’s beaming like a proud parent, like Samson is his, and Alex is hit with a wave of pride in kind." — Red, White & Royal Blue, Chapter 10

marie is literally the only character who was able to see all three male protagonists (walt, jesse, jimmy) for what they truly were. there's a reason they brought her back for the better call saul finale: marie is the only character with the clarity of vision to accurately judge jimmy and assess his character. she saw the goodness in jesse and offered him a taste of humanity and liberation, she saw the all-consuming ego in walt and said that iconic line ("why dont u just kill yourself?") because marie knew what would happen if walt was allowed to keep going, she knew that it was either going to be him or one of them. and she saw the almost-remorse in jimmy, the regret that wasn't quite regret, the capacity for change that was untouched but not inaccessible. the loss, the insecurity, the obsessiveness. marie knew what jimmy was and what he needed in spite of her grief and frustration. these three characters met fates almost identical to what marie wanted for them because she understood who they were and what their actions had earned them

One thing I find interesting about the 80s scenes is how everyone appears to have changed enormously, except for Hawk. I really love the 80s scenes in general, as they make me super interested in seeing how all those characters get to that point. The relationship between Hawk and Tim is so different to what we have seen in the 50s – much more balanced. But it is mostly Tim that has changed and grown.

Now, I’m not saying that Hawk is still the same person he was in the 50s. He’s clearly older, appears to be overall more mature and calmer, and even vulnerable to some extent. Yet his flaws remain. He’s clearly terrified of being outed, struggles to show emotions and prefers to run away and disappear. He’s still stoic and self-centered.

Marcus used to be very similar to Hawk, but has clearly changed. Mostly, because he has allowed himself to love and be loved. Tim is not the naïve, gullible man we’ve met in the first episode, but he’s still very passionate about the people and causes he cares about.  

This reminds me of what Mary said in episode 2 – that hiding a part of yourself is different from killing it. And I believe that the reason Hawk has been unable to change and grow is because he's been trying to kill that part, again and again.

I don’t want to turn this into an analysis now, as we still have some episodes to go, and analyzing the 80s scenes is almost impossible without knowing what has actually happened. And I don’t want to rely too much on the synopsis for future episodes and other stuff without seeing it play out. But it is clear that Marcus and Frankie have decided to love each other, building a loving, lasting relationship. Tim has chosen to be authentically himself, just as he’s been craving to live like in the 50s. I feel like he might be outed against his will at some point. But even if that turns out to be true, he has still decided to openly be himself, fighting for what he believes in.

Hawk has chosen to kill a part of himself – not necessarily his sexuality, as he still has relationships with men, but any form of a deeper connection. And I feel like you can tell that he is regretting it, by the way he's observing all those openly queer people.

Maggie has accused him of trying to clear his conscience, and I don’t believe that she’s wrong. But I also don’t think that Hawk came by just to say that he’s tried. I think he decided to visit Tim, because a) he wanted to see him for himself, probably hoping that he wasn’t actually doing that bad, and b) to hopefully receive the opportunity to make things right. Realizing that Tim is in fact dying and that there would not be a lot of time left to make amends, he decided to stay. But I also feel that he wants to spend time with Tim. Ironically, I think Hawk is now in the position that Tim used to be in – yearning for something he can’t have. When he sees Marcus and Frankie together, he sees a life he has never dared to live. And now, there is no time to live it anymore, even if he dared to. And as Tim does not have much time left, Hawk chooses to spend it with him.

But in the end, Hawk is still the same man he’s always been. Tim and Marcus have changed immensely, mostly because they decided to not kill a part of themselves. Hawk has decided to try and kill it, and has therefore never been able to grow properly, at least in regards to Tim. And it makes it impossible for him to do the right thing now, as he repeatedly returns to his old ways.

every once in a while some of my queer friends will be weird about "different" queer identities and i have the reverse reaction of "go touch grass" which is "i think being on tumblr for like 3 business days would fix you". like bro you will never understand another person's identity that they are the expert on. sometimes words ARE meaningless. be normal about it and leave the he/him bi lesbian alone

#like yes there are obvious rebuttals to them which are like. #genderfluid lesbians and butches exist and lesbians attracted to women and enby people exist #but also sometimes people just. connect to different words differently and you've gotta respect that if the person is being genuine #“how can someone be aroace and a lesbian at the same time” EVERYTHING IS A SPECTRUM BABY GET WITH THE TIMES #idk anyways excl*sionists get fucked #happy pride y'all #mari is irrelevant
