I Have Such A Hard Time Reading Fan Fiction Because The Logical Side Of My Brain Wants To Remember How

why is he staring at me like that.

That's Hoyt talking btw {Confirmed} {I was there}

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!

How Thomas + The Hewitts Would React to a Daughter

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･.

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.

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

I'm just gonna come out and say this - People are going to interpret a character/franchise differently. Each person's interpretation is going to be different, even if it's just by a bit. Does that mean one interpretation is better than the other? No. Are some more accurate than others? Yes - But that doesn't give you the right to shit on people for their contribution to the fandom. If it's something extremely problematic, that's a different story. But headcanoning a character as 'gay' is not problematic. Shipping two legal, non-related characters is not problematic. Writing a character differently than how they are portrayed in the media is not problematic - Inaccurate, sure, but nothing serious.

Instead of saying "fuck this fandom" or "this fandom is so ass", CONTRIBUTE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE !! That's the entire reason I made this account: I wasn't seeing as much content {that fit my narrative} as I would've wanted. So, what did I do? I made that content myself.

I did not shit on other creators for their posts. I did not say "fuck this fandom/this fandom sucks." I started using my brain {which some of you aren't doing for some reason..} and writing/drawing/CREATING my own shit. It doesn't matter if my posts get 1 like or 1000 likes, I'm content with my posts - That's it.

You don't have to agree with everything/everyone in the fandom, just have the decency to respect people - my god

Grow a pair {of ovaries} and contribute what you want to receive instead of whining on the internet about your bullshit predicament 🫀

sometimes I genuinely tweak because what y'all are lying to me and secretly think I'm annoying and need to stfu

Im just cool like that {Diagnosed with anxiety at the age of 12} So fun

Having a mental breakdown whilst simultaneously crafting a post about Thomas' physique

Hi !!!! :D

I've been well - haven't posted as consistently for school reasons lol. BUT - I have a lot planned for this account >:) most of it will be published this/next week 💪

Idk if its just me but I HATE when people who yume/selfship with a certain character get pissed or annoyed when others also ship themselves with them.

Like bro... YOU DONT OWN THAT CHARACTER. it's giving the 2019 "He's my boyfriend and husband, and I'll kill anyone who even looks at him" shit.
