in the past 3-ish years i've been writing thomas and pairing him with eddie the more fucking gay i make him. because of woke the only direct acknowledgment of his attraction to women is in the comics (more like one comic)... and i feel like i don't need to point out how inconsistent those are. you could argue that him feeling up eric in the 2006 movie doesn't explicitly say that he likes men either, but i'm biased and of that belief that he didn't need to Do All That. honestly at this point (in my characterization at least) i think that his attraction to women is more passive. it's something he's "supposed" to do and he's never felt disgusted by women. he can recognize when a woman is Attractive, even if he's not particularly Attracted, y'know? while he's so unbearably attracted to men that it disgusts him. do y'all get what i'm putting down

let me tell you that I seriously LOVE YOUR WORK ON AO3 AS WELL AS YOUR ART,,,,,,

you feed my hyperfixation with thomas <3

I always wanted to draw scenes based on the fanfiction "Darkest Hour" but my body is terrible ,,,, and I spend more time in bed so rereading it and waiting for it to update is a great comfort!!

oh my god i'm so sorry for responding so late!! but thank you so much, that means the world for me to hear. i've been in a creative rut as of late, this entire year has been rough for me, but i hope to get back to things soon. if you ever find the energy, i would love to see your art! regardless, i really hope things improve soon in regards to your health <3

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING

behind the scenes

I had a post that I deleted but self-immolating is the most desperate, pleading act of protest, and it's been employed in environmental activism, civil rights, genocide activism. What a vicious world we live in that the bravest and most heartbroken of us will light themselves on fire, only to have their deaths unheard or ignored by the people who need it hear it most?

thomas' vague "skin disease"

someone please correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think thomas has ever gotten an explicit diagnosis for his skin disorder in canon?? i know in a comic it's referred to as "skin cancer", despite the fact that if thomas truly had cancer since birth (??) and it eventually worsened to the point of eating away his nose, he would be dead. straight up. cancer, untreated? i know that boy is strong, but he is dead!

i've also seen it described as a vague "skin-eating disease", though when you look it up, such a disorder would require immediate care and show many more symptoms such as pain, fever, and vomiting. and again, i don't think thomas would have survived 30+ years with such a disease.

i am so terribly obsessed with this Franchise and This Man in particular so you bet your ass that i wanted to find something definitive to diagnose him with—and i think i found something!

after some research, i found a chronic skin disease called rosacea, and i specifically think thomas could have 2 subtypes at the same time:

subtype 2: papulopustular (or acne) rosacea, is associated with acne-like breakouts, and often affects middle-aged women.

subtype 3: known as rhinophyma, is a rare form associated with thickening of the skin on your nose. it usually affects men and is often accompanied by another subtype of rosacea.

now, despite thomas losing his Entire Nose by 1973, the rest of this could Work Out i think. perhaps he could have a really aggressive form of this disorder (since men who develop it are more likely to have more severe symptoms than women), and due to the acne-like breakouts caused by subtype 2, thomas could be left with discolored scarring, which we already know he has. since it has no cure, i could also see thomas growing frustrated with no amount of washing and scrubbing his face working to get rid of the disease, eventually leading to him trying to Cut the infected skin Out (as we learn he did during the beginning of the 2006 movie). as for most people afflicted with rosacea being between 30 and 60, let's just say thomas is part of the unlucky 13% that develop it in adolescence.

of course this isn't 1-to-1 with thomas' symptoms, but i wanted to try and find something to explain them. i think i will begin writing and drawing him with this "Diagnosis" in mind, but this is by no means an attempt to say that i'm Right and other people should Listen to Me. thomas is Not a Real Person after all, i just thought it'd be interesting to speculate!
