The Erotic Prestige Thriller Of My Dreams | Fellow Travelers Ep. 1 reaction

When Hawk said “My advice? Go inside, shut that door and lock it behind you” and Tim replied “Unfortunately, the lock is broken.” The emotional metaphors are palpable.

[@yoongitrash2699]

HOLY SHIIIT

[@EM-mw6et]

Someone please explain what it means ???!

[@jaimeml4791]

@@EM-mw6et so for Hawk to protect himself he always has to keep his walls up and never wants to allow anyone to get too close or to be too vulnerable with anyone, hence “shut the door and lock it behind you.” For Tim, his “lock is broken” so it’s not just that he doesn’t want to shut himself off from being vulnerable with people (specifically Hawk) but also it’s that he’s utterly incapable of doing otherwise.

@@jaimeml4791 oh ok thank you for explaining it to me :))

Never imagined Matt Bomer as a Daddy, but here we are! 🥺

[@kev121]

Right! Matt would usually have the role of Tim.

[@FantasyFinalFiend]

Matt Bomer has always been Daddy. What do you mean?

[@GoddessOfWhatnot]

@@FantasyFinalFiend I guess the meaning of the word Daddy has changed since heteros started using it. I’m referring to the traditional definition of Daddy

​@@FantasyFinalFiendthey mean a kinky DaddyDom not what the internet has turned Daddy into as just an attractive older man. Lmao.

Good catch on the Donald connection. Roy Cohn who is seen here as McCarthy’s chief counsel, was Donald’s mentor.

[@AmanCreatesArt]

You made some fantastic observations. Like about the dark/light contrast in certain shots. Great reaction video!

[@EM-mw6et]

Loved your reaction ! I think I can speak for everyone that every little comment you made and reaction was us watching the entire episode. Also saaaame how are we supposed to do this for all 7 episodes left !!! I mean this was only the first episode and my emotions were all over the place !!

[@moonlightmoonchild1133]

this was so interesting to watch along with you. you give very good insight, I feel like. I think I'm going to love this series a lot. also, fun fact: at 12:10, the person playing hawk's assistant (miss addison) is not only an actor but also a queer youtuber keara graves. somehow, i did not know that they were going to play in this show.

[@rhambosia1]

omg, thanks I was trying to recall how i knew her face!

[@MyInitialsAreCBD]

For historical context for McCarthy and such, I recommend picking up a copy of "The Deviant's War: The Homosexual vs. the United States of America." Re: the park police. Public bathrooms aka tearooms were both locales for discreet sex with tearoom trade, but also police entrapment by undercover cops who were known to flash a guy and if the other seemed amenable, out the cuffs would pop.

[@janetcooper1074]

That's how George Michael got busted...

[@treesny]

And for the longer time frame, read James Kirchick's "Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington." A terrific, exhaustive (but not exhausting) saga of the entire 20th century. Much is familiar, but there are some genuine surprises, and he pulls together an amazing amount of material.

[@treesny]

@@janetcooper1074 Not to mention Sir John Gielgud in London, in the early 1950s -- the U.S. wasn't the only country going through a "Lavender Scare"! When Gielgud was released and returned to the play he was appearing in, the audience gave him a standing ovation.

[@general.huttslayer.pirate]

This show has taken over my brain since I binged it on the weekend....and I have lived through two years of gay pirates angst. This so show is amazing, beautiful, sexy and will break your fucking heart over and over. I think its totally worth it.

[@mark99k]

I'd bet money that the _vast_ majority of viewers (or at least those who were already familiar with both Bomer and Bailey) expected that Bailey would be the sexually aggressive one.

Love you too! It's been so much fun watching your channel grow.

Cruising , the term used to describe .

[@abuleledlova1684]

this show is an adaptation of the book by the same name. it is amazing - you should give it a read.

[@treesny]

A fine book, but the series to my mind greatly expands and deepens the story/stories. The addition of Marcus, Frankie, Jerome, Caroline, Jackson and so many other characters is done expertly.

[@abuleledlova1684]

@@treesny oh 100% agree. the series was immaculate

[@MoirinDC]

6:50 had your same exact reaction. Had to stop for a good 2 minutes

You’ve seen A League of Their Own (series), right?? If not, you MUST

[@Gaywatch]

I have plans!

[@theabruun1028]

Would you consider reacting to the Chinese BL “Stay with me”? It came out earlier this year, and it’s my current obsession (you’re one of my favorite reactors, and I’d love to see your reaction to it, if you’re interested). The leads have in rebel chemistry, and the story is really good as well

[@kaleaj]

whats absolutely hilarious about this is out of the reactions to this show ive watched (mainly guys reacting) none of them reacted how i did watching except u LMFAO i wonder if its written in lesbians genes to react like this bc I WAS DOING THE EXACT SAME FACIAL EXPRESSIONS🤣🤣

[@kaleaj]

LIKE THE EXACT SAME FACES AND REACTION THIS IS SO FUNNY TO ME WHY IS IT THE EXACT SAME

[@yoongitrash2699]

I wish your videos were longer!!!! I dont think 13 minutes does enough justic to 1 hour long episodes

[@Gaywatch]

I know right??? But copyright slaps you hard if you go anywhere over a show's footage limit.

[@galenthom]

Why are all your reactions so short. Other reactors have their reactions at 33 to 38 and sometimes 40 minutes long and don't say it is because of KZbin guidelines or some other reason. If that were true then the other reactors would have shorter reactions. Every reaction of yours is 14 min. or less and you talk for most of the time.

[@Gaywatch]

KZbin copyright isn't applied fairly across all channels, unfortunately. Some channels get to upload reaction videos and use tons of footage from the movie/show without the video getting totally blocked (but still demonetized), but even those channels typically get away with it by distorting or putting a semi-opaque image over the footage so that copyright detection doesn't clock it. This practice has always made me nervous about future issues should copyright holders ever decide to crack down (which is far from an impossibility), and personally I never liked trying to watch reactions with distorted footage to begin with. In copyright situations, sometimes big channels (100k plus) are allowed to get away with absolute murder, but even they're not treated consistently because there are plenty of big channels who are constantly copyrighted within an inch of their life. With the way I've figured out how to do things, any given show allows me seven minutes of footage total per video. In four years of KZbin these are the most reliable parameters I've figured out through extremely tedious trial-and-error, and even then sometimes a show comes along and won't even give me seven minutes. Or six. Or five. I'm about to re-edit a couple of One Piece reactions for like the fourth or fifth time because they keep posting fine for a couple of days, weeks, even months before they're suddenly blocked again. The process of posting reaction content is like walking through a minefield blindfolded. There are very few solid rules, nobody tells you what they are, they don't ever seem to be applied fairly across the board, nobody wants to share intel because it's treated like one big competition, and if you're not careful the channel it took years to build goes up in smoke overnight. We're all just doing the best we can. If there's a reaction channel out there posting clear footage of almost entire episodes of tv shows and they're not getting deleted into oblivion by copyright, I'd love to ask them how they pull it off because KZbin simply will not let me.

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

Some reactors make good money and have good lawyers on retainer. Some reactors know each other and pool resources as a group to have one. With a lawyer a reactor can be bolder and risk more.

[@stephenashford-b3i]

Great coverage of this. Glad I found our channel. Do you have a business/contact email? Would love to invite you into an initiative I'm working on with other creators that cover LGBT+ shows. Thanks,
