Bearded Thomas HCs:
1. Thomas only grows out a beard in the cooler fall/winter months. The beard is patchy, scratchy, but warm and gives him almost the same amount of comfort his muzzle like mask would give him. So, if his S/O wants to see him maskless their best bet is during the winter months, not the summer ones.
2. Luda Mae is NOT a fan of the beard look whatsoever. She prefers her son’s baby faced look, but if it gets him out of that disgusting mask for a bit then so be it she will deal with it.
3. Hoyt/Charlie is a big fan of the beard, he grows one himself during the fall/winter months, he usually does it along with Thomas as a way to boost his confidence to get him out of that terrible stinking flesh mask Thomas wears practically every single day.
4. Thomas becomes cleaner with a beard, surprisingly he takes more baths when he has his beard grown out, and rarely has any food crumbs in it. He takes care of it just like he does his masks, because it supplies him almost the same amount of confidence his precious masks do.
5. His S/O practically has a win/win situation with the fall/winter months. A cleaner, more confident, mask-less Thomas. Which means~ Cue some NSFW content below:
6. He is more confident in bed, letting his S/O see his face and facial expressions more, letting them kiss or touch his face more. Even if the beard is scratchy and rough, it still feels a lot better than the sweaty and slimy mask he wears during spring/summer. 7. The added confidence adds to his dominance more, making him rougher and less hesitant to hurt his S/O. In the spring/summer months he sure is rough, but it’s hard to go to pound town while he’s worrying about his appearance and if the mask is going to fail him, letting his S/O see all of the horror that hides under it. 8. Even if his S/O has seen what lies beneath that mask, he still doesn’t trust them enough to not leave him if they see the true him. Even if they try and convince him they aren’t going anywhere. He still has that thought in the back of his head. Bearded Thomas is a good Thomas, but all of Thomas is the best Thomas there can be. Plus the community has been lacking on these precious headcannons.
