tw: brief mentions of miscarriage and suicide attempt

the dichotomy of the level of stakes in each episode of Downton Abbey will always be funny to me. Some episodes are like

“Thomas is on the brink of being fired for being gay”

“it’s the actual World War I”

“Sybil could very well die in childbirth”

“Bates has been arrested for a murder he didn’t commit”

“one of the staff caused a MISCARRIAGE of someone from Upstairs”

“Thomas has been found half dead in a self-inflicted bloody bathtub”

And then other episodes are like

“Will Carson let the staff go to the town fair”

“who will win the flower competition”

“The cooks dropped the chicken on the floor”

“Sybil is wearing pants”

“Branson is still fraternizing with the Downstairs”

When my brain tells me I am making this all up and I should just pull myself together and keep living like before but then someone on the internet calls me by my chosen name and I feel all giddy and happy about it like a small child.

Never thought this feeling could be this gentle and loving.

Someone: 'Why do you like Thomas Barrow so much?'

Me: 'Well, he‘s the main character for a reason.'

Them: 'He isn‘t even the main character!'

Me: 'Looks like you‘re the only one with that opinion here.‘

When I was young, I never liked shopping for clothes. In fact, I hated it. And I honestly never really knew why.

But now I know.

Going to the store from which you already know you won‘t find what you are looking for.

Going into the womens section and looking at all the clothes you just knew you don‘t want to wear.

I hated it. So much.

And now I am lying here on my bed, giddily kicking my legs and grinning like an idiot, because today, I went shopping where I wanted to go and bought the things that bring me truly joy.

Clothes don‘t equal gender. But it can help you find your style and help you express yourself and find yourself as the person you are.

And you might not have found the right style that makes you truly happy.

But believe me, you will. It just takes time.

And when you find it.. your style, the clothing that makes you feel like you‘re complete.. it‘s going to be one of the best feelings ever.

Harry: Every time you talk, I get this warm and fuzzy feeling inside me. Harry: It's really nice, but it's bothering me so please stop. Ron: Warm fuzzy feeling? Ron: Oh my god, Harry do you have feelings for me? Harry: What the fuck is a feeling?

So… I want to talk about this scene and what it means to me:

Despite what happened in the last season, I think Thomas is actually a very pro-life person deep down.

When he held his lighter above the trenches at night, it formed an image like lighting a candle in the dark. However weak the light was, it was the only light in that war zone. In that moment, he was holding onto the little hope that is left.

“There must be more to life than this.”

To him, what brought him to despair years later was never the hatred he received as a gay man, he’s been facing it for such a long time after all. But it was the lost of hope for any chance of living a fulfilling life - a sense of purpose. “I have never felt such a lack of reason. Why am I here? What am I doing?” He asked. The fact that his profession was losing its significance, his teaching was deemed unorthodox, and even an aristocratic gay man can only seek temporary pleasure in a remote place but finally also resorted to an eternal escape… all these had finally led him to realise anything he had dreamt of was only a false hope.

Did he really want life to end? No, I don’t think so. He wanted life to be. He wanted to live - for once, for real. But he couldn’t. So he took his life with him, hopefully this time to a better place where it can truly be one that’s worth living.

Now, after all the hard times, I can only hope that his dream has finally come true. True to the end.

Daisy: ‘Cringe culture is dead, I think everyone should do all the random things they fear are ‘too weird’ to do. Be weird. Be yourself.’

Thomas: ‘So you say I should pretend to propose to Carson just because I want to see his reaction?’

Mrs. Patmore: ‘Would not recommend. You would probably end up giving him a heart attack.’

Richard: ‘I don’t understand the problem.’
