The finale of Fellow Travelersis now streaming, ahead of its Sunday night airing on Showtime—a conclusion to one of the year’s best series that is gorgeous, devastating, and cathartic in equal measure.

The story of a tortured-yet-beautiful romance between two men over decades, the show waltzed through those emotions throughout the entire season, as Matt Bomer’s Hawk and Jonathan Bailey’s Tim weather the historical circumstances that prevented their deserved happily ever after. Bomer’s nuanced performance as an infatuated, conflicted man is the best work of his career, and, in the emotion-packed finale, Bailey is a revelation. Across multiple timelines, he showcases how intertwined grit, defiance, and joy in spite of darkness are for gay men determined to make their lives mean something in a world that actively works to strip them of dignity.

The series spans Hawk and Tim’s meet-cute during the Lavender Scare and McCarthyism-led panic of the 1950s through the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. The final scene, set at the unveiling of the AIDS Memorial Quilt at the National Mall in D.C. that might as well have been an anvil plummeting straight onto my heart, it shattered me so much.

There are two images in the final episode that have seared into my brain since I first watched, tableaus charting the arc of a doomed, yet life-changing relationship. First is Hawk and Tim slow dancing naked in the privacy of a secret apartment and, later, Tim’s head nestled on Hawk’s chest as they take a post-coital nap—moments of bliss stolen in a society that won’t allow them that pleasure. Then there’s a mirror of that position decades later, when Hawk climbs into Tim’s hospital bed to cradle him, as Tim struggles through a rough night during his last days battling AIDS.

The power of those moments is amplified by Bailey’s performance. In the earlier timeline, his wide, giddy eyes betray a man fully aware of his good fortune to be so madly in love, cognizant of how precarious and fleeting the feeling could be and determined to live in the splendor of it. Later, as he faces death, his resignation to fate is not one of defeat, but a catalyst for clarity.

So much of his life was impacted—some might say ruined—by his inability to move on from his connection to Hawk. But in a sensational monologue delivered after Hawk questions how much pain he’s caused Tim, Tim corrects the narrative: “I spent most of my life waiting for God to love me. And then I realized the only thing that matters is that I loved God. It’s the same with you. I’ve never loved anyone but you. You were my great, consuming love. Most people don’t get one of those. I do. I have no regrets.”

Bailey’s performance of this monologue stunned me. It is spoken with such certainty, an outpouring of a lifetime of emotion funneled into a searing, pointed declaration. He’s speaking to not only a complicated romance with his lover, but also on behalf of generations of gay men whose great loves were colored and, it often seemed, marred by the misfortune of the times in which they were kindled. That’s the revelation that Tim, through Bailey’s delivery, speaks to: There’s no misfortune when it comes to love; we may now be aware of the hideousness with which society treated (and still treats) the gay community, but how dare we assume that the love found was any kind of misfortune.

I’ll be thinking about this episode, that monologue, and Bailey’s performance for a long time. Do yourself a favor and watch it.

Hello again friends 😁

This time is one of those few times when I don't bring you new Fanart. Today I want to introduce you to one of my OC (Original Character), which is based on two series that I enjoyed a lot as a teenager. One is obviously Dragon Ball and the other was called SWAT Kats, both shaped how to draw in a certain way, although at that time I believed that my idea was very original, over time I realized that many things I was directly copying hahaha.

I tried several times to make a comic of the story, which would involve aliens experimenting with living beings from Earth and other planets, resulting in mutations that unleashed chaos on a universal level. But I remember that as I grew older I lost motivation when I met artists who were too superior and had an enviable ability to create.

But here we are today trying to recover the practice :D

😉 I hope you like it and if so, help me with your like, comment, share, save or whatever comes to mind ✌️😸 Thank you all very much in advance for following my content, and wherever you are I hope tomorrow is better!

Stupid article. Somebody at dailybeast is desperate to make some minimum wage writing it.

Never mind if there’s any truth to it, just the fact that the title is a bait to write about ukrainian draft dodgers is just low life journalism scraping bottom of barrels.

A terrifying secret is that this article might’ve been written by ai like many in the past few months and dailybeast cannot hide it anymore.

Hm. Actually I think if there's a real room temperature superconductor that would be just a tad more important than a fancy statistical chatbot. But thank you for your input, dailybeast

[pretty-unglad-you-were-born]

can't believe all this discourse is over 5 reviews lmao........................... I mean I think it will be pretty divisive over all considering I've seen just as much positive reviews as negative but bloody hell

you weren't there when us non-americans were waiting this morning and the first review that dropped was that fuckass dailybeast one anyways i've been yapping all day and serves you right for making me shut up for 24 hours 👹 i think the discourse happened because it was all unexpected cause from the small group of people that we saw they were all teasing it and hinting at the fact that they liked it so those first reviews were weird and then the second wave of discourse was because there were also many people raving about it but it didn't get picked up by the vegetable website so chaos ensues reblog if you're surprised

Dailybeast's coverage of the Israel-Hamas war has been disappointing. 6 Palestinean journalists have been killed when Israel bombed Gaza, but the Dailybeast chose to only cover the deaths of Americans living in Israel, one of them being a soldier serving in the IDF. Really tells you whose lives the US news media values, doesnt it?

To Hell With The First Amendment. Florida Is All In On Removing The Constitutional Rights You Take For Granted

Florida state Sen. Jason Brodeur filed legislation this week that would effectively force any blogger that writes about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, or any member of the Florida Cabinet or Legislature, to file registration paperwork with the state—or face fines.

This would effectively force independent journalists to go through a similar process as paid lobbyists—who are retained by corporations and other entities to influence lawmaking.

The legislation, Senate Bill 1316, is the latest apparent effort by DeSantis and his allies to stifle any sort of opposition within the state. Florida’s GOP, which has grown accustomed to unchecked one-party rule, has long-sought to create a culture of conformity laced with fear around the state government.

In many ways, despite his rhetoric, DeSantis’ recent behavior looks more Stalinist than anything else. He promotes one-party rule and authoritarian measures to crack down on dissent—for example, this week, Sen. Blaise Ingolia, a key DeSantis ally who is the former chair of the state’s Republican Party, filed legislation that would effectively eliminate the Florida Democratic Party.

For a year or more, it has been increasingly clear that DeSantis looks abroad to the likes of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán for inspiration. In Orbán, a right-wing figure mixes ethnocentric and religious hues with strict authoritarianism and a crackdown on a free press.

The fall of a film empire continues

The fall of a film empire continues

I feel overstatement is required when discussing superhero films. Journalist Will Sommer, who has the alt-right-qanon beat at The DailyBeast, has picked up the story of the financial shenanigans of Vox Day’s failed Rebel’s Run movie. “An attempt to make a right-wing superhero movie has ended in disaster, with $1 million missing in China and a participant facing a federal…
