Strong-looking vulnerable men......Strong-looking vulnerable men.
You know the type. Big hands, big shoulders, could probably bench-press a car, but the moment they sit down, they look like they’re carrying the weight of the whole damn universe. Eyes that are just a little too soft for a face that sharp. Like, are you okay? Do you need a hug? Do you want to cry into my arms for three hours?
They look like they could destroy you, but deep down, you know they'd rather let themselves break first. What is it about them? Why do they look like they could hold you together when they’re clearly held together with duct tape and desperation? It’s unhinged. It’s unfair. I want to fix them. Or maybe I want to fall apart with them. I don’t even know anymore.
I love them so much they make me lose myself
AAAAAAHHHHHH
The King's Halo - January 29th, 2025
first time actually drawing in 2 years..yay
Father!Thomas post coming soon 😈
Your the only person on this app I've really seen actually understand Thomas, and the Hewitt's family the best. Very gay question i have, how would the Hewitt's react to Thomas having feelings for a man and or think about dating a man (probably didn't phrase that correctly but oh well.) Like all the stories people make, i know it'd probably be like some schnazz where Thomas falls for the victim or whatever, but how'd the family react to that victim being a man (if Thomas would even like a men.)
First of all, thank you!! I try. Second, this is a wonderful question! I'll try my best to answer it 🫀
TW: Homophobic/Transphobic statements {Tommy's a sweetheart, dw}
Slurs. Slur after slur after slur - From Monty and Hoyt of course. And really invasive/inconsiderate statements:
"Well, at least someone learned to love your ugly mug..even if it's a man."
"So..who's the bottom/top?" - "You ain't taking it in the ass, are ya, Thomas?"
"Well Momma, guess you ain't getting any grandchildren, huh?"
"Tommy..are you sure you're not confused? I know a few gals who could change yer mind."
--
Thomas {and his future/current partner} will have the best luck with Luda Mae. This Southern Christian woman lives by the Bible {with exceptions..} - But she loves her son to the Heavens. She'll be disappointed, but not because Thomas is gay. She just wanted grandchildren. She'd be disappointed to find out her daughter-in-law was infertile, too. She'd be a bit confused, but she loves Thomas {and his partner} nonetheless. Be prepared for a minor spiral though:
"Thomas, hun, you might just be confused; It's alright. There's plenty of women who'll want you, just you wait."
Thomas..are you sure? Women can be just as if not better, y'know."
"I don't understand..is it something I did wrong?" - She'd be scared she raised Thomas wrong, I feel.
It'll take time for her to get used to, but she'll never insult or belittle Thomas nor his partner. And she'll get his uncles to stop, too.
--
Luda would invite Kathryn {The Tea Lady} over to "destress" {aka, spilling both her and Thomas' guts.}
"Oh you wont believe what Thomas told me today- It's..it's not too good."
"Well, what is it? You look a bit tense, it's best to get it off your shoulders."
She sighs. "Thomas told me he's 'gay'..."
"What?"
"A homosexual, Kathryn."
"Well..well that just doesn't make any sense; He just hasn't met the right woman yet!"
"That's what I told him!"
"It'll be alright. He's..he's confused, that's all. Ain't thinking straight."
"I know!" - "I just..I hope it wasn't something I did."
"Oh, nonsense, Luda. He's confused, just as he was when he started putting them animal skins on his face. It'll go away eventually."
But the animal skins never left - They only progressed {do you see the point I'm trying to make? 😉}
--
If you happened to be a trans man/trans masc, prepare for even more madness from all family members..
Thomas wouldn't love you any less, it's the family who'd give you issues.
"Oh, so it's a woman then?"
"Right...so a lady playing dress-up as a guy."
"Well, at least you're still getting some pussy; Huh, Tommy?"
"Great..two misguided freaks..how fun"
"Gosh, it's one thing to be gay, but you couldn't even get a real man, Tommy?"
And Luda Mae would bug Thomas and his partner even MORE about grandchildren..good luck.
As time progresses, his family will become quieter better. They'll keep comments to themselves and won't pry too deep :)
--
As Thomas' partner, - and I know this is a lot to ask of someone - you'll have to reassure him constantly. He truly thinks something is wrong with him from the way he looks, to the way he acts, and now to who he's attracted to. He loves his partner very much; He's attracted not only to their body, but to their mind - their soul. He lives a very sheltered life; So it's up to you {assuming you're his partner} to introduce him to certain aspects of life :)
How exciting...
He'll always affirm you in ways he can - He doesn't really view you as his "male" partner. His "trans" partner. His "Cis" partner. He doesn't give a fuck anyway. He just views you as his partner; Who happens to be a man. Who happens to be trans/cis. Even then, he's not really focused on that - He just likes looking at you; Especially your eyes. He feels connected to you, like soul ties.
Be patient with him, and he'll be patient with you - That includes shielding you from his family 🫀
____ Guys I hope I worded this right 😭🙏 Thomas does not discriminate but his family does
Please please please tell me if I worded something wrong or accidentally said something inconsiderate, love you all
sister found the Tumblr SOS
Enjoy another TCM shitpost whilst I work on two Tommy-related analyses🫀 Apparently you can only upload one video per post which sucks but here's a compilation of the four + jumpscare
I yearn for Thomas in the pretty lady mask
oh baby so do I
smear lipstick all over me Thomassssss
Would Thomas appreciate having an affectionate/loving s/o, or would he eventually get annoyed by it?
yes he loves it!! - But give him his space as well 🫀
He wants to protect you. To keep you as {spiritually} close to him as possible. He's a bit new to this whole 'romantic affection' thing..so give him grace, please 🙏
Let me keep you safe - So you too, can care for me.
Thomas is so exceedingly grateful for you - You're the light he didn't know he needed in his life. He cherishes you; Really, he does. Every time you smile at him, every time you offer to do something for him, bring him beverages or gifts, even when you walk past him, he's entranced.
If you're physically affectionate with him, you'll need to wait some time before he's fully ready. He won't reciprocate affection until he's fully accepted that you two are in a relationship. Once he has, however, his affection is small - It's strictly for you.
Examples of his affection:
Holding your hand/head/shoulders/waist
Resting his forehead against yours
Resting his chin on your head
Small kisses {both with and without the mask}
Gifts
Hugs
Soft hums/grunts of affirmation{?}
Softer expressions {Sometimes he'll even smile}
Rubbing your back/shoulders/arms
Examples of affection he likes:
Hugs {when he initiates}
Gifts {minimally}
Small kisses
Holding his hand
Words of affirmation
Compliments
Anything with praise, really {Tommy bleeds and breathes praise}
Even though he adores you, he needs time to himself sometimes. It's important to provide Thomas with a relationship that allows personal time - For example; When he's in the basement, he's either working or trying to relax. In situations like these, knocking, calling out, or walking down to ask if he's alright/if he needs time alone would be the most beneficial.

Hi Tae, I was wondering if you could tell us how Thomas would react if a victim (reader) who's cornored or meets him for the first time stare into his eyes for a moment, taking all the details in, to then tell him that he has beautiful eyes. It dosen’t matter if he looks at then angrily or with a dark gaze. They still thinks they are beautiful. Like a gem or the sky on a sunny day.
I figured you could answer this easily since you know the Hewitt family so well and it's pretty much an easy question.
oooo I love this!!
I think he'd be very confused and taken back which would cause him to pause for a bit - He's in his own head a lot. This gives the victim more time to escape but as soon as you move he's right back in the game. (Or..with a little "family motivation")
__
"You're beautiful." You don't know why you said it - Why you felt it. All you knew was that it's true: He was beautiful, at least to you.
The cannibal paused. Beautiful? Such words were never used to describe him, not even once. The most praise he'd gotten was on his work ethic, never on his appearance.
His expression tightened, what was left of his nose wrinkled, his eyes squinted as his eyebrows closed in. It doesn't make sense - You're lying. You were just trying to catch him off guard, break down his walls; Escape.
Don't be tempted, son. These women are something else.
That's what Charlie had told him one time - Back in what were supposed to be his high school years. There were always pretty girls with infectious smiles and loud laughs that made him turn his head. He liked the way their hair was done, how creative they could be in accessorizing. He liked their lips and the way they framed their smiles. The fantasy would break as soon as they saw him. He'd be staring at them, distracted from his work at the slaughterhouse or at the community center his momma worked at. The girls would stiffen - They were disgusted with him. Afraid.
Why're you staring? - Can I help you?
He didn't have the tools to answer those questions. His answer wouldn't make anything better; In fact, it'd make it worse. They weren't asking out of genuine curiosity, they wanted to deter him. His freakish nature and abnormal behavior. Momma taught him not to stare, but, why could they stare? No one told them not to, he was a macabre one, that's for sure.
In a matter of seconds, his head replayed the compliment you gave to him. Beautiful. He was beautiful.
It felt good. Odd, peculiar, abnormal, but so damn good.
Say it again. Just one more time; Please?
Of course, he couldn't say that. He didn't say that. And he didn't want to.
Thomas restarted the chainsaw, revving it loud enough to drown out his irrational thinking. You didn't mean it. You couldn't have.
You jolted back, frightened, but yet, still determined.
"Beautiful, beautiful eyes." You whispered shakily.
He threw the chainsaw to the ground, frustrated and confused. If you didn't mean it, stop fucking saying it!
"What's taking so damn long down there!" A voice called out from upstairs. "Tommy, stop stallin' and cut her up already!"
Hoyt stomped down the stairs, his eyes meeting the corner you were trapped in. "Oh, Christ, Thomas. Get a grip on yourself."
"What? Did she butter you up all nice and sweet, huh?" Hoyt called out condescendingly. He didn't view Thomas as "ugly" necessarily, but Hoyt knew a thing or two about survival. Never let your guard down. Ever.
Tommy looked between the two of you, frustrated, confused, overwhelmed. He wasn't teary-eyed but he was damn close. Still, his anger shadowed his confusion as he picked up the chainsaw once more, starting it up as the two of you locked eyes.
"There you go...attaboy, Tommy. Finish the job like you always do."
