yes i would appreciate this particular plotline basically i want s3 to be Thomas The Evil Footman Kisses People In A Lingering Fashion While Bates Rots In Jail Downton Abbey

how far that story goes: sandwichocracy asked: Tell me about your Thomas feels. JUST LET THEM ALL OUT.

well ok, since you asked

+thomas is no longer a footman at the start of s3. boy got his promotion ever since mr bates went to jail for existing. and since he “”“”“”“rescued”“”“”“”“” the dog from the shed robert was like ok u can have that job now

+now that thomas is the big man on campus he kind of tones down the ~douchebaggery~ towards his coworkers (and also because mr bates is in jail so like there’s no one left to be douchey with) and is generally a more personable dude to be around

+and then eventually o’brien is like so my nephew, mr. new guy whose name is apparently alfred needs work he like is a war vet but my sister and my brother in law both died of influenza so he’s an orphan plz take him in and cora can’t resist this because if she did then ben affleck would be ashamed…in america. so she gives him the job and now alfred the ginger footman begins his life anew

+and thomas finds himself being really attracted to this new dude ok like there is a moment where they ~lock eyes~ and i swear you hear lionel ritchie’s hello playing in the background as they share a sexually charged gaze or w/e

+and they find themselves talking a lot about the war and what they’ve been through and they realize they have a lot in common? but alfred the ginger footman is such a str8 edge and thomas is just like im going to teach u how 2 live (by that he means hes gonna teach alfred how to smoke cigarettes)

+and he falls in ~~~~~looooooooove

+and thomas can’t talk to o’brien about these newfound feels because awkward so he begins talking…to edith about it and they become moirails

+and edith is like constantly encouraging thomas to make a move even though its still not really kosher but at the same time, it’s the 20s and it’s a whole new decade so like please thomas 4 the love of god touch his stuff, edith says one night on the pillow pile and thomas is like stop doing that talking thing its giving me a migrane

+eventually thomas does make a move (and its so awkward omg SO AWKWARD because thomas is terrible at flirting) and it turns out that alfred the ginger footman is into him too

+and they just make out a lot in secret

+and at first its really awkward because both of them are really bad kissers because they’ve never actually kissed anyone before

+and idk where it goes after that there’s just a lot of awkward kissing and even tho thomas and o’brien aren’t moirails anymore he does tell her like as soon as they begin making out in secret and she wouldn’t rly curr, i bet she’d be down w/ it

+none of this is actually going to happen but w/e
