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.

Finally got around to doodling this man, but damn was it a major PAIN in the ass.

I cannot capture his beauty and need so much more practice. Forgive me ;;

Do you ever think about that time Thomas is playing with George and Mary sees them and tells George that he mustn’t keep Thomas from his work?

And George is all “I was cheering mr Barrow up” and your heart just shatters? Do you ever wonder how George found out Thomas was upset? Like did he find him crying by himself or-?

Day 8: Ball

Fandom: Downton Abbey

Relationship: General

Characters: George Crawley, Henry Talbot, Tom Branson

Warnings: Unapologetic fluff, Thomas references, and cricket. I know next to nothing about cricket.

Henry took careful aim and lobbed the ball as gently as he could. George, who had started to show signs of fatigue not long ago, swung entirely too early and too low and practically dropped the bat at the end of the swing.

“I’m never going to hit the ball!” the boy complained.

“I used to say that,” Tom, who had been watching from the sidelines, occasionally stepping in to give George tips on his grip and such, chuckled. “Caught me by surprise the first time I actually hit the thing.”

“Perhaps we’d better stop for the day, though. My arm is getting tired.” It was a bit of a lie, Henry could have bowled awhile longer, but George was clearly ready for a break. “We can practice some more in a few days, if the weather holds.”

George flat out dropped the bat on the ground and crossed over to the older men. They might have scolded him to pick up the bat, but he looked and sounded so dejected that neither of them had the heart. “What if I never do?”

“Well then, maybe you’ll prefer bowling?” Henry suggested while Tom walked over and retrieved the bat. “I’m a much better bowler than I am a batter. What about you, Tom?”

“Never tried,” the other man shook his head. “Matthew taught me to bat and that was that. I can hit and sometimes I can catch, but I’ll never be a champion cricketer, that’s for dead certain.” He laughed. “I have learned to enjoy the game, though.”

“Mr. Molsley bowls and bats,” George informed them, his tone somewhat envious. “We met him the other day when we were out with Nanny and when I told him I was going to learn cricket he told me all about it and gave me lots of advice. It’s a pity that he never gets to play for the village. Mr. Barrow agrees with him.”

Henry was somewhat perplexed. Admittedly, he didn’t know much about the politics down stairs, but he’d never gotten the impression that the butler was particularly fond of the footman-turned-teacher. “He does?”

“Yes,” George nodded once. “Mr. Barrow says with Mr. Molsley bowling for the village and him batting for the house, it would be the best cricket match ever!”

“I bet he does,” Tom rolled his eyes, grimacing. “I bet he does.”
