Beryl Patmore is the type of person to say that Thomas Barrow is a sarcastic, oily and smug person but the moment you dare to insult him, she will personally make you regret it.
Phyllis Baxter is the type of person to roll her eyes every time Thomas talks about Richard but always smiles proudly to herself when Thomas tells her about his shared afternoon with the valet.
Daisy Parker is the type of person to pretend like she doesn’t know about Mr. Ellis but when she knows that he is visiting, she would bake his favorite biscuits and tell him that she’s happy he’s here.
Andy Parker is the type of person to pretend to be oblivious but has already overheard so many phone calls between Thomas and Richard that made him smile mischievously.
The whole DA staff pretends to not care so much but in reality, they secretly all love their butler and just want to see him happy.

My advice to you, Thomas, would be to accept the burden that chance has seen fit to lay upon you, and to fashion as good a life as you are able.
Remember, harsh reality is always better than false hope.
I hate to think he was so unhappy.
“Are you alright, Mr. Barrow?”
“Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?”

Bittersweet Thomas Barrow moments that make me want to smile and cry at the same time
Andy apologizing to Thomas when Thomas offers to teach him how to read - I think this is one of the few honest apologies Thomas has ever received.
Master George gifting Thomas an orange after his attempt - I mean, how can you not love this?
Cora thanking Thomas for rescuing Edith from the fire (literally one of the only times the family genuinely thanked him).
Robert realizing that Thomas, after all, is just as a human being with feelings, emotions and pain as everyone else.
Phyllis being genuinely concerned for Thomas in S5 and constantly asking him if he's alright and not giving in, even though he shakes her questions off everytime.
Phyllis not asking questions about 'choose your own path' but instead instantly understands and takes him to the doctor right away.
Richard asking Thomas out for a date multiple times (in the ''swan on the lake' scene, in this deleted scene at the servant's table and after the prank, making sure, he knows where Thomas will show up).
These two absolute legends at Turtons who whistled after Thomas, trying to flirt with him (underrated queens).
The moment Phyllis realized that what Thomas meant with 'he hopes, Joseph would make more of his life than Thomas has ever made of his.'
Mary visiting Thomas after his attempt, asking him how he is doing.
Richard gifting Thomas the pendant and Thomas looking like he's in a dream - the first time I saw this man speechless.
Mrs. Hughes comforting Thomas in the pouring rain in S3 after he got fired and basically kicked out of the house.
Thomas standing up for himself when Carson called him 'revolted' and 'foul'.
Phyllis basically encouraging Thomas to go on a date with Richard.
Every Thomas + children interaction.
Thomas talking and comforting Edward Courtenay in S2.
Thomas asking Richard if they want to be friends... FRIENDS...
I could think of so many more but I think that's enough for now. Thanks for listening to this completely unnecessary list.
