I need a screenshot of Thomas looking like a sweaty walking corpse in season 5 when he was on the verge of death via infection after conversion therapy

thomas barrow may have been a bastard but have you considered he was a working class gay lad in the edwardian era in england. for every instance of homophobia he experienced he gets to participate in one (1) dastardly act completely scot free.

season 1 downton abbey plot lines: a serious period drama that discusses gender roles in the 1900s and how upper-class women had to get married to secure their futures, as well as the lead up to wwi

season 6 downton abbey plot lines: mrs patmore could you please go and ask mr carson if he wants to have sex with the lights on xx

[thismoleculeisacomedian]

Things Downton Abbey tried to gaslight us into thinking (with spoilers):

- Edith and Lavinia were unattractive (especially Violet’s comment re: Lavinia that “looks aren’t everything”…. Violet clearly needed glasses with a very strong prescription.)

- Mary wouldn’t have been willing to marry Matthew even without Rosamund’s meddling or if he had remained disabled

- Cora wasn’t on laudanum for all of S1 and S2

- Mr. Bates was a good husband

- that Martha wasn’t paler than Casper the ghost (idk what Violet’s comment about her looking like she spent all her time in the sun was about—just yet more proof that Violet needed glasses)

- that Mary *really, truly, deep down* wanted to sleep with Pamuk* and she wasn’t just going along because he basically blackmailed her into it

- that Society (TM) wasn’t the villain half the time

- that Daisy was better off staying at Downton and marrying Andy rather than going to London

- that Moseley was better off as a screenwriter than a teacher when they literally showed how much he’d always wanted to be a teacher for the previous two whole seasons and constantly reiterated how that was his life’s purpose

- that Edith was better off being a society lady rather than an editor/writer

- that Mary and Henry were compatible (this at least got retconned)

……anything I’m forgetting? 👀
