Thomas is Gay and uses he/him pronouns!

sport scholarships were invented when Lord Grantham suddenly accepted Thomas Barrow's homosexuality as soon as he realised he was decent at cricket

Rob James-Collier as Thomas Barrow DOWNTON ABBEY: CHRISTMAS AT DOWNTON 🎄🎅

[much-brighter-ink]

My favorite part of Downton is actually when Thomas's job is almost over after O'Brien outs him and Robert is like "I explored many men's bodies back in my day at Eton... anyways CRICKET. WE MUST HAVE CRICKET" and it's never mentioned again

Mary and Thomas are so alike as lonely souls who try to be honest with themselves and go against social conventions. It makes them bitter people under cold facades, constantly lashing out only to be more misunderstood. They have so much to offer to the world but have always met with disappointments. Their existential angst is real and that's why I love them.

Only wish more people could see their true selves.

They are two of the most human characters.

[midnight-mismanagement]

Thomas Barrow is such a funny character, it’s like, man wants job security, proceeds to go about attempting to secure his job and land promotions in ways that will ensure his prompt termination. Somehow against all odds he continues to be rehired/accidentally promoted to everyone’s disbelief, including his own. Some suspect divine intervention is involved.

No man is an island. Not even Thomas Barrow.

[just-two-blokes]

It‘s so funny that Thomas Barrow just basically told Mary and Robert to fuck off, let Carson deal with the royal staff and the broken boiler, spent his night in an illegal gay bar, got arrested and bailed out of prison from the second valet of the king and returned to his work as if nothing has happened.

Normal days at Downton Abbey.
