The urge to just clean the Hewitt household is incredibly strong, I know that Luda Mae is old and is having difficulties doing a couple of things. But for dear god, that house looks like it has been abandoned and vandalised for years!
Oh absolutely. The pictures were taken before and after filming was complete - The actual house was built in the mid-late 1800s, with little care. Cleaning teams were hired to conceal the mold and rot within the wood and wallpaper so they cast could actually perform. It's definitely a house full of dust, mold, rot, rust, and overall poor circulation.
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
I'm so sorry for not posting guys I've been obsessing over Call of Duty: Modern Warfare + focusing on school 😭
Pls forgive me I promise posts are coming back
this was requested, but also something I often thinking about 🫀
this took so long for me to post omfgggg
TW: Body Image Issues, Hoyt/Monty {how fun}, Implied Physical-Intimacy {though not explicitly said}, Tommy is a sweetheart <3
Tommy loves his sweetheart very very much {obviously}
_____
First of all: He's a big guy himself, so I doubt he'd mind {if not prefer} a bigger partner. The majority of the women in his life are plus/midsized {his momma, tea lady.} Essentially, the women with the most maternal influence {in his life} are plus/midsize :)
No one in the family would mind - Contrary to popular belief, I don't think Hoyt or Monty would say anything {hateful}; Considering their sister{s} have some more weight to them.
Now, that doesn't mean they won't comment other things..
One benefit{?} about your size {in the way the family views it}, they don't view you as 'frail', physically. That means more work, less physical restrictions. This also means Thomas is willing to get a bit rough with you {in many ways}.
He doesn't care how heavy you are, he's gonna carry you at least once. He'll help you up {if you need it}, carry you places, carry your things, anything that can show off his strength, really.
He doesn't want you to lose weight for image-related purposes. If you want to lose weight for health purposes, he's fully supportive of that {he wants you to bet as healthy as you can}. He finds your body to be empyrean - Something delicate that should be preserved, protected. If you did end up losing weight {or discussing it} for image purposes, he'd start becoming a bit self-conscious; What if you want him to lose weight too? Does he need to lose weight?
{He'd also affirm that you never need to alter your appearance, only your health.}
--
{If you're fem-presenting, or happen to wear dresses} Thomas likes seeing you in sundresses, especially ones that accentuate your figure ;) Luda Mae would love this aspect too - She'll bring out dresses from her younger days and have you try them on {she's just trying to bond with you, it reminds her of her youth}. If you like jewelry, she'll bring some of that out, too.
--
Being with someone of similar stature, Thomas would feel more comfortable with himself compared to being with someone skinnier. He knows that being bigger comes with ridicule and societal pressure, especially with clothing and presentation {which he too, struggles with}. This similarly almost provides a subconscious understanding between the two of you - In turn, decreasing his anxieties over his looks {around you}.
Although, he won't automatically show his face to you - Or anyone, for that matter.
--
He'd do this with his partner regardless, but during moments where he's {surprisingly} sappy, he likes to give you gentle, scattered kisses along your face and body - It's his way of showing that he loves you🫀
Expect plenty of nibbles and cuddling to go with it {he's gonna pass out cold on top of you...}
Thomas also likes holding you whenever you both feel comfortable. Even if it's just holding your waist from behind whilst your doing something - Or becoming your bra {he doesn't give a shit if you have breasts or not, he's doing it anyway}
He's seen plenty of bodies, but none of them captivate him quite like yours. He likes soft bodies, ones where he can trace the stretch marks with his finger - Though, he likes tracing bones on thinner bodies as well. Thomas has a loft of stretch marks, most he got during his adolescence - He doesn't mind them much, and seeing yours makes him mind them less. Even if yours aren't too visible, he likes the textural difference against his hands.
--
Overall, Thomas loves having a mid/plus sized S/O. I wouldn't necessarily say he prefers it, but he does like your figure {I headcanon Thomas as someone who likes harmony amongst features over individual features themselves - But he does really really like eyes}. Thomas focuses on personality most !! He likes not having to worry about you as much, but he's fully willing to worry.
To all my {fellow} plus/mid sized creatures, you're empyrean 🫀
Please give him hugs n kisses - He needs 'em
I yearn for Thomas in the pretty lady mask
oh baby so do I
smear lipstick all over me Thomassssss
i am so obsessed with everything thomas yo uhave hELPPPP why is everything so perfect.
you are single handedly bringing me back to him
aww thank you! I have more posts planned, trust 🙏
I've been hyper fixating on TCM - Thomas specifically - for like 7 months now so...
I treat him like a bug under a microscope
What would the dynamic in the family be if Thomas's first and potentially only child is a female? Will she have a hard time because of her circumstances, will she be regarded as more of an unwanted child because she was born a girl, and therefore, getting insults about being useless, or will she be handled with care?
This is a wonderful question!
Thomas:
Thomas never thought he'd have the privilege of having children, he was always focused on the job at hand. When that changed, however, Thomas was thrilled - Anxious, but thrilled. He didn't care if the child was male or female, they were his child, and he would love them as such.
Honestly, Thomas seems like such a girl-dad. Idk why, that's just how he reads to me.
In fact, he'd be more protective of a daughter than a son - Especially if she inherited some of his traits {such as his skin condition}. He'll love her to the ends of the Earth just as he would a son. I don't think Thomas would teach his children gender roles; He'd be more focused on their survival and fulfillment than some irrational societal performance. He never fit into society anyway, and he fit the gender roles just fine?
He'd rely on Luda Mae for a lot of parenting guidance: Doing her hair {by this I mean literally just taking care of it}, dressing her {as in finding clothes that suit her}, and discussions of puberty. He does NOT feel comfortable explaining that {not that he really could, anyway.}
What he will teach his child{ren} no matter the age or gender, is to be strong. Mentally strong more than anything. He wants his children to be able to survive, but not be forced to. He'd work himself to the bone if it meant his partner and {their} children could be comfortable, and safe.
He'd also sew his child{ren} stuffed animals, blankets, and some clothes - with guidance of his momma of course 🫀 He loves family very very much.
Luda Mae:
Gosh, Luda Mae would be in the seventh Heaven! She's wanted a daughter her whole life, having a granddaughter is even better. She'd offer to help with everything: Clothes, hair, babysitting, anything you could think of. And you know she'd be ever so protective of her granddaughter - Men will go nowhere near her without proving themselves fit {Thomas would hold the same view}.
Really wants to teach her how to cook, sew, bake, sing, and take care of the house - Traditionally feminine things, y'know? Luda grew up traditional, it'll most likely bleed into her granddaughter. She'll always call her "Sweetheart" - "Baby" - "Angel" - anything endearing and sweet, really. Very very affirmative of her granddaughter dearest 🫀
Luda will sing lullabies, read to her, probably invite her to tea with Kathryn/Tea Lady. She's a very comforting grandma :)
Now, I know we're having fun in la-la-land, but we gotta go back to TCM 2003 for a minute.
Luda Mae is a strong, independent, and direct woman. She will NOT tolerate ANY disrespect - Never. If her granddaughter acts out, consequences will be appointed.
Hoyt:
Now, I know what the immediate answer SEEMS to be: "Oh, Hoyt would hate that Thomas had a daughter instead of a son - He's a misogynist who hates all women!" And listen, I thought this too UNTIL I re-watched the TCM 2003 movie just to make sure. During one of the final scenes: 1:12:10 - 1:28:40, Hoyt can be seen peering over Henrietta and Luda Mae, looking down at the {unnamed} baby. He seems very affectionate {for Hoyt} - Smiling and cooing at her {Yes, the baby is confirmed female "She's mine"}
The truth is, I don't think Hoyt would mind it all too much. Would he have preferred a nephew? Yeah - But he loves his niece just the same. He'll teach her how to shoot, how to hunt, throw a punch, be strategic, and he'll definitely teach her a.."wide vocabulary."
He'd definitely be the type to say "this type of stuff ain't for women, young lady." For example:
"Now ___, I know you wanna get yer hands dirty like yer daddy and I, but this type of game isn't for little ladies like yourself."
Depending on how sassy Thomas' daughter is, Hoyt's tolerance for her will differ. If she's a foul-mouthed sassy sailor, Hoyt's patience will decreased as compared to an "innocent naive angel."
He's also..terrified, to say the least. He'll be wayyy more cautious about his remarks around Tommy's daughter - Afraid of how Thomas {and Luda Mae} will react.
Oh - and Hoyt will be one of the first to offer advice and protection for his niece, especially if she starts dating:
"He called you what? - Ugly? Hell, let's see this fella; See how 'ugly' he can get."
"Now ___, don't you be dating any soy-boys, make sure a man can take care of ya real nice, y'hear?"
He loves her, but he's not an affectionate {or kind} guy.
Henrietta:
God, she is so so so jealous - She's always wanted kids, but never had the opportunity to have some of her own. She'll definitely offer to babysit any chance she gets. She'd offer the same things as Luda Mae, just more often. Oh! And she'd be a wonderful..aunt? Second cousin? Idk what she would be in relation to Thomas' daughter, but she'd be wonderful at it! Always open to talk, and very very supportive.
{Uncle} Monty:
Would not care. At all. Leave him alone and he's all good 👍
"Stop staring at me with them bug eyes.."
"Girl, would you get me a beer?"
"Thomas! Get your daughter to stop taking my damn cane!"
"If you keep touching 'im {the dog}, he'll bite you."
Okay yay! Sorry for Henrietta and Monty's parts being short, I just don't see huge influence with the two of them - Plus Hen's basically Luda Mae 2.0, just less strict.
Thomas is 6 '5, around 300-330 lbs {136 - 150 kgs}. He’s strong, duh, but he’s also..very much fat. Strong fat. Have you not seen this man? His stomach protrudes {which doesn’t seem to be an alcohol-related thing}. His biceps are well-pronounced when he’s working. This man eats well - Mostly meat and carbs {Vegetables are carbs, too}. He works hard; Rarely takes breaks. His endurance is insane - The same goes for his self-discipline. He’s muscular and fat - You can have both. He’s an endomorph, he’s gonna be bigger.
Also..this is definitely a preference thing..but I think he looks tons better like this
Photos of what I think his body looks like:
Photos for reference:
so handsome
Give him his fat cells NOW 🗣️‼️ He looks better with them
