the best part of the new jurassic park movie was when jonathan bailey's character unironically says that he wants to die in a shallow sea with silt on the bottom because he'll have the greatest chance at becoming fossilized. hell yeah autism boy live your dream.

The Death of Tim Laughlin and the Birth of a Hero

(time for some rambling)

Fellow Travelers is an incredibly, brilliantly written show that manages to dive with depth and beauty into its subject, while never shying away from the ugliness of its historical truth and context. Amongst the various narrative choices they made, one of my favourite ones is the fact that we never see Tim Laughlin die.

We see him struggle with his physical health, we see him disconcerted, angry and very aware of his mortality, but we never see him actually die. In fact, the last images of his character show him fighting alongside his friends, his community, with more fervor than his physical state probably allows.

There is something heroic about the closing of his arc. We see Tim almost giving up, falling lower than we have ever seen him before, and then he rises again. He refuses to sign the do not resuscitate order (note: he wouldn't have been less heroic if he had signed it), openly states he wants to fight and come back to life, and he does. He fights for what he believes in and for what he wants, even if the latter means lovingly asking Hawk to go back home and let him go. He blows into a whistle with all of his strength even if it means finding himself breathless for a fleeting moment. He stands even if he can't walk without his cane.

His determination being the last thing we see of him gives even more power to the image of his quilt, an indelible mark of his impact on those who knew him and by extension the audience who spent eight episodes adoring him. His quilt, made of his clothes and a line that defined his life, adds his name to the pantheon of heroes who had to die to make the cause move on, to be seen, for help to be considered.

To make the death of Tim Laughlin invisible to the eyes of the audience only gives his character a greater, more lasting impact and, while heart-wrenching, makes for a beautiful conclusion for his story. disclaimers: apologies for the potential grammatical and spelling mistakes, english is not my native language.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TIMOTHY DAVID LAUGHLIN! (June 6, 1930)

I seem to be always searching for something to lose myself in completely. It's like we say in seminary, beyond measure.

This one was hard to draw. I think I'm ready for another rewatch.

Tim on the beach

A photo Hawk may or may not have taken of Tim that day they spent together. I just love that they both kept photos from this day, and I know for sure that there were more that were taken than shown.
