#and the visual appearance of the linnet bird matches thomas too

[sco07ut]

sorry rvb followers i’m just slightly insane over ghosts at the moment 🫶

the other day i was listening to some music when green finch and linnett bird happened to start playing and it absolutely broke me. it’s such a thomas/isabelle song (more specifically isabelle’s pov living out the rest of her days with francis and reminiscing over the brief frisson she had with thomas)

but then that was too agonising so to make it up to myself i settled on a modern au where they both live and develop an adorable qpr with each other <333 (you can claw aro!thomas from my cold cold dead hands)

#bbc ghosts #bbc ghosts thomas #bbc ghosts isabelle #thomas thorne #isabelle higham #slaps the roof of this drawing: this bad boy can fit so much symbolism in it #aside from being in the song finches symbolise joy and celebration #thomas literally never felt happier than when he was with isabelle #meanwhile linnet birds represent a lost way of life which applies to both issy and tom #isabelle sacrificed a life of happiness by marrying francis #thomas straight up died. that’s a lost way of life #and the visual appearance of the linnet bird matches thomas too #the brown with a splash of red across the chest representing the gunshot #(and obviously the green finch is. green. which is the colour of issy’s dress #then the flowers- red chrysanthemums and windflowers #red obviously symbolises love for both. chrysanthemums mean ‘goodbye’ #thomas never got to say goodbye </3 #windflowers represent the loss of a loved one to death. points at isabelle aggressively #i am so entirely Not okay about them #you can interpret this romantically or queer platonically idm #theres a lot of overlap i think #Spotify
