I Have Thoughts.

i have thoughts.

i've been thinking about this all day long.

we were given two men who find love in a pandemic. this isn't the first time these two men have seen a virus take hold. we don't know their histories but we know that they were both alive during the AIDS epidemic. i think it's safe to say that frank probably had friends die. watched them get sick and watched them die. so, not only do these two men find love when the world has gone to chaos but they grow old together!

THEY GROW OLD TOGETHER!!

they get to.

THEY GET TO CONTROL WHEN THEY DIE. do you know how important that is?!?!? that they choose. when so many queer people have had their lives taken away from them. these two men get to choose.

we get to witness it.

they live a "normal" life. frank paints bill over and over again. bill takes care of frank. they take care of each other in their own ways.

during the scene where frank is painting and bill comes up with his watering can and winks i realized i was watching a queer story with old men. we have lost countless queer love stories because they've been hidden or destroyed; and here this fucking tv show gives us a beautiful, calm, kind, thoughtful, loving gay romance.

i know that this could have been better written but i don't care. we so rarely get to see old gays represented on screen. we so rarely get to see gay romance portrayed in such a respectful and loving manner.

the last of us showed people (who wouldn't normally get to see it) that gay romance is romance. that it encompasses everything (and more) that straight romance does.

We are one month closer to Season 2! Wahoo! 🥰❤
