After watching the "Thomas Thorne Affair" I think the character that I feel the worst for is Isabelle. (Don't get me wrong I feel just as bad for Thomas too.) But just think she was told that the man she loved doesn't love her, and later is informed that he in fact is in love with a random writer (Mary Shelley.) Then witness his death on the very same day! Just think her and Thomas could have had a very happy life if it weren't for Francis's interference. I can't imagine what kind of damage she must have suffered after that unfortunate day.  Also I forgot to mention that Francis used her for her wealth while Thomas actually loved her!

(So fuck you Francis)

Thinking about how Thomas and the Captain are two sides of the same coin.

Both are inept in their chosen fields, but they put their heart and soul into it. Each is mocked by (most of) his peers, but yearns for their respect.

One lives in a world that encourages him to embrace emotional expression and individuality; the other lives in a world that forces him to repress them, stripping him of all identity but his rank.

Each of them is loved by someone who finds his idiosyncrasies charming, even as everyone else laughs. And yet, the pursuit of this love leads each to an ignominious death.

The Captain dies having learned that his feelings are requited, with Havers by his side. Thomas dies alone, believing that Isabelle no longer loves him.

They are a soldier who died from a broken heart, and a poet who died from a gunshot.

bbc ghosts fandom can we plsplspls pls talk about isabelle higham more pls. she was under the impression that the love of her life didn’t love her back and didn’t have the guts to tell her to her face, and then he died defending another woman’s honour in her own backyard. and then coerced into an unfulfilling courtship based on materialism and prestige rather than actual love while she was vulnerable. like that is so horrible and fucked up i have so much love for isabelle where are the isabelle fans where are they pls!!!!!!

The fact that these two characters have essentially the same backstory is way too funny to me.

[lulu-cat-princess]

Thomas reminds me of a LOT of another Disney character….

"He waited and waited. But she never came."

I always thought this line was about Thomas's dying moments but what if there's more to it?

Thomas, very noticably, barely moves after he dies. He lifts his head to look at the others but that's pretty much it. His reaction, of course, could be the result of shock - the pain from his wound, the realisation that he's dead and ghosts are real and he's one of them, and the pain of Isabelle's absence are quite a lot to deal with, after all - but I wonder if perhaps Kitty's words imply that Thomas stayed under that tree even after he died. At that point he still believed Francis was going to fetch Isabelle so why wouldn't he continue to wait for her?

So imagine him sitting under that tree next to his body, gazing towards the house with hopeful eyes. Imagine the minutes ticking by, turning into an hour. Imagine the other ghosts urging him to come inside and when he doesn't, leaving him there. Imagine the flare of hope inside his chest when someone finally comes, and the disappointment when he realises that it's only the servants. Imagine him watching them carry his body away and hearing them call him a fool. Imagine him staying behind, still waiting, still hoping for Isabelle to come. Imagine the sun setting and night falling and it dawning on him that she won't. Imagine him getting to his feet after all these hours and finding his way to Robin's nook because he can't bear to go into the house and face Isabelle there. Imagine him curling up on the bench and waiting for the sun to rise. Imagine him returning to the tree the moment it does on the off chance that Isabelle might want to say goodbye to him after all.

Imagine him waiting and waiting.

THOMAS’S CRAB\WOMAN DREAM

[howicked]

I looked forward to unveiling my new work, but most of all, I looked forward to seeing once again Lord Higham's daughter... my beloved Isabelle.

If this has been done then I'm sorry for beating a dead horse. Or a dead. Assless twink.

Thomas saying how he can't talk to Isabelle publicly in a social situation where it would be completely normal to talk to her because their engagement is "secret" (read: they are both equally dramatic and massively overthought this whole thing) while they extremely obviously stare at each other across the room like love-crazed loons just proves they were perfect for each other.

some highlights from a current wip (everyone and their mother has made a bbc ghosts modern au but i have thomas/isabelle brainworms and needed to make my own take on one with them as the focus)
