I don’t think Downton Abbey gets enough credit for introducing a gay central character to a period drama in 2010, where being gay isn’t his defining trait. His defining trait is that he’s Evil.

Look Julian Fellowes did Thomas a little dirty with his lack of screentime but having a weird little trio of gays swagger their way through the house, annoy everyone, get a musical number, get up in people's buisness and bring back the household's reputation while doing it was beautiful. no notes
ok so this is ✩‧₊˚ diabolical ‧₊˚✩

One of my biggest problems with analyzing media is that I’ll learn the reasons that a character has grown to become such a horrible person or do such horrible things, and instead of thinking, “Hey, I mean, I get it, but there’s no excuse for this kind of behavior,” I’ll be like, “No, I get it. They should have been worse, actually. Completely justified. Carry on.”
Barrow everytime he's dismissed from Downton
Rob James-Collier as Thomas Barrow
