Everyone’s reaction when they thought Thomas was leaving:

To them at Downton, Thomas is really a son, a brother, and a father.

*Richard visiting the Abbey*

Thomas: 'How‘s the king?'

Richard: 'Oh, he‘s doing great.‘

Thomas *jokingly*: 'Greet him from me when you get back.'

*Thomas receiving a letter three days later*

'I have informed his majesty about your wishes. He greets back and sends best wishes to Lord Grantham'

Thomas: 'What..?'

Phyllis *dryly*: 'Told you he‘s gonna do it for real.'

Ok so, I'm a little late to the party but I just finished watching Downton Abbey a couple of weeks ago (tv series and movies) and from the moment Ms Baxter showed up on the screen I fell in love with her voice and then with her character. After watching some interviews on youtube, I also fell in love with the actress herself, Raquel Cassidy. Not only she's gorgeous but she also seems to be such a sweet person. Then I watched The Worst Witch, which is a kid's show but I didn't care, I loved her character and again... her vooooice! In my head (and apparently I'm not alone in this) her character is obviously a lesbian and in love with her long time friend, so I read every fanfic I could find of them being happy together. AND THEN, looking through her filmography, I found out she did not only one but TWO movies where her character is in a sapphic relationship and I just died. That's it, Raquel Cassidy killed me.

Oh, and Happy Pride!

Do you envy her, Miss Baxter? I'm not a big believer in envy, Mr. Bates.

My advice to you, Thomas, would be to accept the burden that chance has seen fit to lay upon you, and to fashion as good a life as you are able.

Remember, harsh reality is always better than false hope.

I hate to think he was so unhappy.

“Are you alright, Mr. Barrow?”

“Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?”

Beryl Patmore is the type of person to say that Thomas Barrow is a sarcastic, oily and smug person but the moment you dare to insult him, she will personally make you regret it.

Phyllis Baxter is the type of person to roll her eyes every time Thomas talks about Richard but always smiles proudly to herself when Thomas tells her about his shared afternoon with the valet.

Daisy Parker is the type of person to pretend like she doesn’t know about Mr. Ellis but when she knows that he is visiting, she would bake his favorite biscuits and tell him that she’s happy he’s here.

Andy Parker is the type of person to pretend to be oblivious but has already overheard so many phone calls between Thomas and Richard that made him smile mischievously.

The whole DA staff pretends to not care so much but in reality, they secretly all love their butler and just want to see him happy.
