Btw I'm Not Hating On Script Writers At All - I Apologize For My Aggressive Tone 😭 I Love Both Those

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 🫀

Hi!! So I actually found this on an article: Here you go!

Alright, I've never seen this photo once from anywhere. And out of all blogs I could have found it in, it was, of course, from @taeaura. Like my guy, where did you get this???

Spot on {Especially Rabid, Poacher's Pride, Mean, Preacher's Daughter}

Songs that remind me of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes/ Thomas Hewitt.

I’ve compiled a list of songs (pretty much all by Nicole Dollanganger and Ethel Cain) that are reminiscent of these movies. ⏬

• Dog Teeth, Rabid, Alligator Blood, Poacher’s Pride and Executioner by Nicole Dollanganger all literally seem like they were written about Thomas. It’s genuinely uncanny.

• Mean by Nicole Dollanganger is also very reminiscent of Hoyt, at least the first part of the song.

• Two-Headed Mother by Ethel Cain for Luda Mae.

• And of course, pretty much the entire Preacher’s Daughter album is so fitting for the TCM remakes. Especially Inbred, Strangers, Family Tree, Ptolemaea, and August Underground. The entire theme and story behind the album is so incredibly similar.

Every time I listen to Inbred by Ethel Cain I think of TCM; Specially the 2003/2006 franchise but I guess the others work just as well. Especially:

"You get off on innocence, so you savor this Does your baby know her daddy's a rapist? He hates the way you look at me You're already dead, you're already dead

If he wakes up, he'll show you what I'm talking about

You can't win 'em all Who knows how much longer I'll lay on the floor? Touch me 'til I vomit I'm not scared of God, I'm scared he was gone all along (oh, oh)

Who will take the fall? Who of us is stronger? You'll just want it more If you could, you'd have fought it, but you know you're not From the start, they knew you were wrong, you were wrong"

____

IS THIS NOT TCM?? HELLO?? DOES THIS NOT AUTOMATICALLY REMIND YOU OF HOYT AND THOMAS??

The section mentioned above really really reminds me of Hoyt. The line "If he wakes up, he'll show you what I'm talking about" reminds me of the distinction of Hoyt versus Charlie. @demphen hints at this in their fic, Darkest Hour {which is phenomenal, it's a good read🫀,} Hoyt and Charlie are almost two "entities" living in one vessel. Charlie's vessel. I like to think Charlie was permanently altered after the war; As would anyone after experiencing such trauma. I think the town dying, Thomas losing his job, and killing the sheriff was what finally did it. What finally "killed" Charlie. Charlie was hanging by a thread; clawing at the shell which once was his, desperately trying to restore the lifeline only to be shut out and 'killed' once the sheriff was too. The one thing keeping the town inline; Keeping Charlie inline, was gone. Hoyt realized {and maybe always knew} that the "protectors" never cared about his family. Back to how this relates to the Inbred lyrics; It almost feels like Hoyt waking up within Charlie. Charlie is in there, we can see "him" when he talks to the family. But as soon as things go rogue, Hoyt 'awakens.' If he = Hoyt; Wakes up, he'll show you what I'm talking about = someone gets hurt. This is LITERALLY like the hitchhiker scene in the 2003 remake !! "He's a bad man, he's a really bad man -- you're all gonna die."

This song also reminds me of Thomas; Specifically:

"Older brother made a name for himself with the cops Scumbag fuck, but I swear that he's not He's so good to me and to nobody else So you should watch yourself

Mama's comatose, she can't leave the bed Something smells rotten and it starting to spread I'm bad, he's worse, we're already dead We're already dead"

"Older brother made a name for himself with the cops - Scumbag fuck but I swear that he's not" reminds me of Hoyt and Thomas' relationship. For one, Hoyt not only "became" part of law enforcement, he was a POW. Now, a POW is not someone who gets "involved with the cops" per se, but he did get involved in serious warfare which for some reason reminds me of this line. The following line "Scumbag fuck but I swear that he's not" reminds me of the intense family pride. I think Thomas knows Hoyt is a bad person. Hell, aren't they all? But at the same time he loves his family; They're all he has. Continuing with this narrative; "He's so good to me, and to nobody else - So you should watch yourself." We know Hoyt cares for Thomas, but he's definitely 'tough-love' and judgmental. So this line reminds me of them more because of the essence: He treats us {the family} well, no one else gets that privilege. Watch yourself :)

Now, the line "Mama's comatose, she can't leave the bed" reminds me of Monty, as opposed to Luda Mae. Monty really can't do anything anymore. He used to help tow the victim's cars and help with mechanic repair; But he obviously can't do that now. So it's more the essence of the line as opposed to the line itself. Following up with "Something smells rotten and it's starting to spread" has always reminded me of Thomas' skin condition. His condition caused his skin to rot to such an extreme that he amputated his nose. His condition obviously spread throughout his face, causing him to cover it fully. I guess the anxiety of "it's starting to spread" reminded me of Thomas in a way. How anxious he must've felt seeing his condition worsen over time; Taking more and more of him until it's all he was. His one defining feature.

"I'm bad, he's worse, we're already dead - We're already dead"

We're already dead.

"Anyway, staying around this town, there's no more jobs, no more money, no more food. It's down right suicidal."

We're already dead.

"You can't have a creature like that around normal folk, that's what I'm saying."

I'm bad, he's worse, we're already dead.

"People may not remember what we say here tonight, but they sure as shit gonna remember what we do. Thanks to the good sheriff here...We ain't gonna go hungry tonight. Matter of fact, we ain't never gonna starve again."

Happy woman's day! Girls, women, thank you for everything. Continue learning, achieving your goals and fighting for your rights. I love you and wish you all happiness and success!!💘💘💘

I love the character trope that just goes: Sharp teeth, fish/bug eyes, socially inept ESPECIALLY when it's in the horror genre

TCM: The Beginning | DVD Menu Opening - Thomas' Childhood Picture 🫀

I wanna hug him 🙁

Would Thomas appreciate having an affectionate/loving s/o, or would he eventually get annoyed by it?

yes he loves it!! - But give him his space as well 🫀

Thomas Hewitt x Affectionate Reader | Headcanons

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･.

He wants to protect you. To keep you as {spiritually} close to him as possible. He's a bit new to this whole 'romantic affection' thing..so give him grace, please 🙏

Let me keep you safe - So you too, can care for me.

Thomas is so exceedingly grateful for you - You're the light he didn't know he needed in his life. He cherishes you; Really, he does. Every time you smile at him, every time you offer to do something for him, bring him beverages or gifts, even when you walk past him, he's entranced.

If you're physically affectionate with him, you'll need to wait some time before he's fully ready. He won't reciprocate affection until he's fully accepted that you two are in a relationship. Once he has, however, his affection is small - It's strictly for you.

Examples of his affection:

Holding your hand/head/shoulders/waist

Resting his forehead against yours

Resting his chin on your head

Small kisses {both with and without the mask}

Gifts

Hugs

Soft hums/grunts of affirmation{?}

Softer expressions {Sometimes he'll even smile}

Rubbing your back/shoulders/arms

Examples of affection he likes:

Hugs {when he initiates}

Gifts {minimally}

Small kisses

Holding his hand

Words of affirmation

Compliments

Anything with praise, really {Tommy bleeds and breathes praise}

Even though he adores you, he needs time to himself sometimes. It's important to provide Thomas with a relationship that allows personal time - For example; When he's in the basement, he's either working or trying to relax. In situations like these, knocking, calling out, or walking down to ask if he's alright/if he needs time alone would be the most beneficial.

I rarely interact with other blogs but i love yours so much, it warms my heart seeing another person so deeply interested in tcm and Thomas (psychoanalysis, incredibly well researched headcanons, etc) Idk if your autistic or not but i am and tcm is a big special interest of mine so ur posts just feed into it in the best way 🥹 Gnashing my teeth so joyfully

Ahh I'm so glad!! I'm also autistic, and yes - TCM has been a huge special interest of mine for a few months now {began just a bit before last year's summer}. I'm so glad you like my posts, I have a few Thomas-related things that I'm working on so trust more will be coming!
