maybe my love for antagonistic/military/slasher men is reflective of my dad's aggression throughout my childhood
and how I forget about it all when he makes me laugh
hmm...probably not
@lovinqbella I do, in fact, know what you mean xπ«
if I misinterpreted this prompt please let me know! I'll make another post π
The community center was never too crowded - Only filled with cyclists and the occasional "roadtrip gone wrong" group. In had been a few months since your wedding, a casual southern Christian affair with a nice Hewitt twist; Mama had given you her previous wedding ring, and it fit you quite nicely. A silver, dainty wedding band with an almost non-existent jewel sculpted in the middle. You wore it religiously - A symbol of your commitment and pride in your relationship with Thomas.
You heard the bell attached to the doorframe ring, lifting your head to attend to the visitor - Another cyclist...great.
You quietly sighed and put on your best "costumer-service" act.
"You need anything?"
The man turned, his features dirtied from sweat, dust, and grime.
"Nothing you can help me with, hun."
He grabbed a beer off one of the shelves, placing it on the counter and leaned on his elbows. "W'you mind grabbing me one of those Marlboro Reds, sweetheart?" - "Thank you, honey."
"Ma'am."
You both turned, Luda Mae had been smoking in the corner.
"You refer to her as 'Ma'am', understood?"
"Yes..yes ma'am." He said sheepishly. He turned back to you, scoffing slightly as he payed for his things.
Leaning closer, he said "Y'know, if you ever need a ride somewhere, or..something extra that I'm sure you can't find out here, give me a call; Huh, hun?" He quickly jotted down his number on his receipt and slid it back to you.
You watched him leave as you turned to Mama, she had the same look on her face as she did the last time someone came in here. It's safe to say, you'd see him again, but not in the way he'd hoped.
Charlie pulled his ass over y'all and Thomas had fun chopping his ass up, yurd
reblog from insta 'cause why not
Working on Proprietorial...probably gonna introduce Henrietta and the Tea Lady/Kathryn {into the scene} in chapter 2/3 {writing ch2 rn hehehe}
Might do a {minor} time skip?? idk
ALSO!! There's gonna be way less typos thank god
Little synopsis for you: Ch2 is going to focus on the few days before the town fully dies - Specifically, the day before the slaughterhouse officially shuts down, Thomas gets fired, and Hoyt kills the sheriff. Ch3 will focus on that day + when Chrissie, Eric, Dean, and Bailey arrive :) Ch3 won't really mention the group that much, only in reference to Thomas' new 'face' as well as the dinner scene {as a 'flashback' reference..in a way?}. I added this in because I originally had the timeline before Monty lost his legs - and I kinda regret that..so! We're gonna make up for it with this :) I promise it'll be more coherent than it sounds π«
I wanna do Tommy's hair - Like actually provide some care to it
Probably gonna make a post about it πΉ
OKOKOK super random but how do u think each of the TCM ppl (either OG or 2003 remake) would be like if they met a latino? I know for a FACT that Luda Mae would be sweet AF, and hoyts deffo being racist af lmao. I think Tommy would be neutral thru pure ignorance?
Hi! I actually had a post coming up that discussed the family's views on race and racism in general: Hope this works π«
The entire Hewitt family {besides Thomas} are racist in some shape or form. Monty would just mumble slurs under his breath like the coward he is - I doubt he'd spew insults at someone like Hoyt would. Speaking of Hoyt; He would not ONLY vomit insults and slurs, this ho would actively side-eye and avoid people he didn't like. I'm gonna be slightly controversial and say he wouldn't be outwardly racist to the majority, but I have an inkling he'd be real racist to East Asians and Latinos. Koreans especially, considering his previous trauma as a POW.
Henrietta and the Tea Lady {and slightly Luda Mae} would be racist in the "People in your culture" type of way. Like the type of people who say "y'know, I heard in x country, they did yz" or "Do your people do xy like us?" and so forth. 'Innocent' questions that have racist undertones if you get what I'm saying. Luda Mae's still sweet, don't worry, but considering the time period she not only resides in, but grew up in, there's underlying racism somewhere. I think there's a lot of misinformation and racist things that weren't 'considered' racist at the time which the family would say; Excluding Thomas for obvious reasons.
In all actuality, I don't think Thomas is a racist guy. Ignorant, maybe; But not racist. I don't think he focuses on race / ethnicity simply because he has other things to worry about. He's weary of everyone for self-preservation purposes. Like I stated earlier, he's probably heard racist things from the family *cough cough* Hoyt and Monty - But I doubt he agrees or even really processes them fully. He wouldn't treat someone any differently; Maybe a bit curious but never derogatory or fetishizing. LUDA MAE ON THE OTHER HAND...{sorry, I know this post is all over the place} would have some {minor} fetishizing. Not because she's a bad person {in this scenario} but because she's ignorant. There's a post by BOOdalinski that goes into wonderful detail about the family's racism {both intentional and unintentional.} She'd stop once she's informed of how dehumanizing it can be, and how generally uncomfortable her comments are. Thomas is her son for Christ's sake, she'd never try to make someone feel dehumanized after what it put Thomas through.
And I'll be honest - Hoyt would warm up to you / anyone close to the family. He has his views, sure, but he'd still respect the qualities a person has over their unchangeable characteristics. He'd be the type to say "Y'know, you're one of the good ones" or some bullshit like that. Monty would calm down a bit once he's put in his place {but expect him to whine and bitch about it when he can.}
Anyway - I don't have too much to add to this, but if I come up with more I'll reblog / edit :) π«

bummed that i am a bit of a freak. also glad i am a bit of a freak. does this make sense
going through 20 different emotions trying to write fanfic rn
Hiii - As an ode to my first post {Thomas' Medical Analysis}, I thought about making him a 'medical chart'.
Thomas my little microorganism
Not everything on this chart is canon {such as diagnoses dates}
The Basics
Thomas {Brown Hewitt} was born on the 31st {not canon} of August, 1939 - He is currently 34 years old, canon-timeline. Thomas is 6'5 and around 300-330 lbs / 136-150 kgs.
____
He has been previously diagnosed with:
Mental Retardation
Mental Deterioration
Deteriorating {Flesh / Facial?} Disfigurement | Interchanged with: Disfigurative Facial Disease
{Unreadable} Birth Defect {Assumed to be an Incomplete Unilateral Cleft}
Tendencies Towards Self-Mutilation
____
What His Skin Condition Could Be
Cutaneous Lupus {CLE}
Pustular Psoriasis
Severe Cystic Acne
Pustular Rosacea
I'm gonna make this very clear - as I did in the original Medical Analysis - Thomas does NOT have skin cancer. He would not survive. And even if he did, He'd be bed-ridden or severely weakened.
____
What His 'Mental Retardation / Deterioration' Could Be
Depression
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Autism / ASD {Most likely 'Level 1', also called 'Low-Support Needs', 'High-Functioning', Asperger's}
PTSD
Apraxia of Speech
____
Here's screenshots of the document I made for him π€
