“can mutuals dm you?” my mutuals can fire me from a cannon through a brick wall, looney tunes style. as long as we’re all having fun
"Leatherface's best friend is his chainsaw" is such a sad quote, but it's not inaccurate. Thomas doesn't have anyone besides his family - And his family demands his labor. He protects and feeds them; He also does most of the chores. If he died, the Hewitt family would die too. "His best friend is his chainsaw" reads to me as his dependance on his family, as well as his familiarity with violence. After the slaughterhouse shut down, Thomas' purpose was killing. Be the physical force in this family; Capture, torture, kill, skin, and butcher. He probably does most if not all of the physical labor: Cutting and collecting firewood, taking care of the animals, fixing utilities, all necessary aspects to sustaining life at the farmhouse. To him {and sometimes his family}, Thomas IS his saw. Just like when he was a butcher, Thomas IS his meat cleaver. Thomas IS his mask. Thomas IS his family's guard dog. That's why whenever someone calls for him, he's there within a matter of seconds. That's why he risks his life to "keep the family together."
Thomas {in his view} has no purpose outside of the family. His entire career has been violent, and that doesn't seem to be resolved any time soon. He's legitimately a guard dog; Work all day, minimal sleep, always alert, willing to die.

this is all I think about in relationship to Thomas
"This {the family} is like a feral pack of dogs; But there's enough that bonds them and there's enough natural primal necessity to solidify that as a family unit" - Andrew Bryniarski | TCM: The Beginning Behind the Scenes {15:54 - 16:03}
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
sorry guys I promise I'm working on posts just got lost with other things :)
I have a few posts planned {plus an ask I'm answering} feel free to send anything you wanna see; or don't, up to you
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 🤓

So..it's very obvious that the Hewitt family tree is..more than complicated. The ages and the relations between the seven members can be perplexing. I attempted to be as canon as possible, but there's always room for criticism and changes :)
Here's an *attempt* at a family tree {Click for better quality, I do apologize.}.
Luda Mae, Montgomery, and Katherine are the children of an unknown woman and Charles 'Charlie' Hewitt. Charles 'Charlie' Hewitt Jr. {Hoyt}, is the child of Luda Mae and Charles Hewitt {nonconsensual}. Thomas is the child of Sloane {factory worker} and an unknown father. Henrietta is the child of Katherine and an unknown father. Jedidiah's origins are unknown; But he is the grandson of Luda Mae Hewitt.
Luda Mae appears to be the eldest; Marietta Marich, the actress which portrayed Luda Mae, was quoted saying "Whenever I do a part, I like to get into the character — just become the character — and make her as real as possible. So I figured Luda Mae was dirt poor and probably one of four or five kids, and the oldest, so she's like the momma." According to the official Texas Chainsaw Massacre Wiki on Fandom, Monty is around 70 years old, born in 1903; Making him 66 in the 2006 prequel, and 70 in the 2003 remake. On Hoyt's wiki page, he was born in 1914; Making him 55 in the 2006 prequel, and 59 at the time of his death during the 2003 remake. The Tea Lady, dubbed 'Kathy', has no official age or date of birth, but many speculate {based on her appearance as well as her actor, Kathy Lamkin,} that she is in her late-forties to mid-fifties. Henrietta also does not have an official age nor date of birth; Many speculate {based on her appearance as well as her actor, Heather Kafka,} that she is in her early-to-mid-thirties. Jedidiah's wiki page reveals no age nor date of birth, but speculates he was born in the late 1960's, making him around 5-9 years old. David Dorfman, the actor that portrayed Jedidiah, was 10 at the time of filming the 2003 remake. Thomas was born in August of 1939; Making him 30 during the 2006 prequel, and 34 at the time of the 2003 remake.
Hope this clears things up for some!
Much love, 🫀

Hiii here's a post to keep you guys {slightly} fed whilst I work on school/more posts :)
All heights calculated via actor height
Andrew Bryniarski: 6'5 {195.58 cm}
Terrence Evans: 6'4 {193.04 cm}
R. Lee Ermey: 6'0 {182.88 cm}
Marietta Marich: 5'6 {167.64 cm}
Kathy Lamkin: {165.1 cm}
Heather Kafka: {162.56 cm}
I didn't do Jedidiah 'cause I couldn't figure out his height {at his age}
