TCM: The Beginning | DVD Menu Opening - Thomas' Childhood Picture 🫀

I wanna hug him 🙁

working on another Thomas analysis post and just thought about how bro's either really into metal or hates it. I know he's into rock {the radio playing as he "prepares" Kemper} but idk about metal. Like idk if he'd be into Type O Negative {maybe on occasion, I don't see him loving them} but maybe Alice In Chains, I have a feeling maybe Mortician {goated btw}, Soundgarden, stuff like that. Probably Skynyrd too considering Hoyt probably blasts that shit. I've seen people say he'd probably like Korn which I mean..maybe? {Forget canon timeline} My brain won't decide on an answer for that. {I love Korn though, don't get me wrong.}

Now LISTEN; He'd probably like a little country. And by country I mean the classics. The actual good country. Like Johnny Cash and such. Stuff with quality. He'd also occasionally listen to Elvis.

Chaotic ass post Thomas looks like Mick Thomson ngl

Henrietta ain't safe from me no more

All of the town + Mr. Hewitt {whoever the hell is with Luda Mae when she brings Thomas home}:

This is so cringe I'm sorry

I don't remember the last time I felt competent; Worthy of anything really. Kill or be killed; Work 'till you drop, son. That's what uncle Charlie Hoyt told me. Not much I can do anymore. The meat plant closed almost four years ago and yet I still yearn for it. How I felt when I finally had a place to feel 'normal.' I felt like a freak, sure, but at least I had a purpose. Momma was happy, I was bringing in money, food; Something beneficial to the family name. Now, all I have is the basement. It's the only place that feels like my own. Everything else is either taken from me or shared with the family. I don't understand; Other families get to live peaceful lives. I don't know, what did we do? Why aren't I good enough? Momma tells me I'm good enough but I could never forget the horror painted on her face when she saw the wounds on my face years back. She was so worried, so angry with me that I would ever make her worry like that. When she first saw the masks; She always fostered my creativity but all that support decayed the moment she saw that mask. I remember his blood staining my face; It felt good. I wish it didn't, but it did. The way my sweat mixed with his blood felt like I became someone new. He was handsome, from somewhere with a purpose. Uncle Hoyt said he was reenlisting in Vietnam before he came here. I never knew too much about those things but I remember how I felt when Uncle Charlie left me. He never did come back. There was something different about him; That became especially clear that night when he killed the Sheriff. The day I got fired; The day that whore insulted my family. Maybe he was right. Maybe I am an animal. Momma tries to reassure me I'm not, but what if I am? What if that's all I'm meant to be. A dumb animal scurrying around with his dumb chainsaw-toy for food. Playing with his dolls and playing 'make-believe' just to feel special. I'm a failure, that I know for certain. But I know that if I leave; If I die then Momma and them will die too. I could never let that happen; Not when they're all I have. I need to fix things. I'll keep Momma happy, I swear I will. I'll make my uncles proud of me. I have to. I-

"Thomas! Thomas Brown Hewitt, you get up here right now!"

I hate to admit it, but I don't really like the dinners we have. I've gotten used to them; bland and unfulfilling, but it's all we have. Tonight was no different. Into the dining room where the remaining family members were seated, the "Sheriff", God I wish Uncle Charlie came back, was standing behind 'his' chair at the head of the table, leaning on his arms for support as they held the chair crest. Uncle Monty remained in his wheelchair, looking down at the table with his tired and unimpressed expression, opposite of Hoyt's deadpanned countenance. I know they're unimpressed with my disheveled appearance; I know I should be better.

"Sit down, son. Momma and I got a few things we have to discuss with you." Hoyt's voice spewed with condescending hues.

"You've done nothing wrong, hun, The Lord's just..challenging a bit extra us this month." Said Momma.

Okay yay! You made it to the end again. I wrote this through Thomas' perspective as well as minor aspects of third-person. I was listening to 'Family Tree' and 'Hard Times' {Ethel Cain reference?} again and felt like yapping via Thomas. I'm open to feedback as I am on every post!

Much love, 🫀

OKOKOK super random but how do u think each of the TCM ppl (either OG or 2003 remake) would be like if they met a latino? I know for a FACT that Luda Mae would be sweet AF, and hoyts deffo being racist af lmao. I think Tommy would be neutral thru pure ignorance?

Hi! I actually had a post coming up that discussed the family's views on race and racism in general: Hope this works 🫀

The entire Hewitt family {besides Thomas} are racist in some shape or form. Monty would just mumble slurs under his breath like the coward he is - I doubt he'd spew insults at someone like Hoyt would. Speaking of Hoyt; He would not ONLY vomit insults and slurs, this ho would actively side-eye and avoid people he didn't like. I'm gonna be slightly controversial and say he wouldn't be outwardly racist to the majority, but I have an inkling he'd be real racist to East Asians and Latinos. Koreans especially, considering his previous trauma as a POW.

Henrietta and the Tea Lady {and slightly Luda Mae} would be racist in the "People in your culture" type of way. Like the type of people who say "y'know, I heard in x country, they did yz" or "Do your people do xy like us?" and so forth. 'Innocent' questions that have racist undertones if you get what I'm saying. Luda Mae's still sweet, don't worry, but considering the time period she not only resides in, but grew up in, there's underlying racism somewhere. I think there's a lot of misinformation and racist things that weren't 'considered' racist at the time which the family would say; Excluding Thomas for obvious reasons.

In all actuality, I don't think Thomas is a racist guy. Ignorant, maybe; But not racist. I don't think he focuses on race / ethnicity simply because he has other things to worry about. He's weary of everyone for self-preservation purposes. Like I stated earlier, he's probably heard racist things from the family *cough cough* Hoyt and Monty - But I doubt he agrees or even really processes them fully. He wouldn't treat someone any differently; Maybe a bit curious but never derogatory or fetishizing. LUDA MAE ON THE OTHER HAND...{sorry, I know this post is all over the place} would have some {minor} fetishizing. Not because she's a bad person {in this scenario} but because she's ignorant. There's a post by BOOdalinski that goes into wonderful detail about the family's racism {both intentional and unintentional.} She'd stop once she's informed of how dehumanizing it can be, and how generally uncomfortable her comments are. Thomas is her son for Christ's sake, she'd never try to make someone feel dehumanized after what it put Thomas through.

And I'll be honest - Hoyt would warm up to you / anyone close to the family. He has his views, sure, but he'd still respect the qualities a person has over their unchangeable characteristics. He'd be the type to say "Y'know, you're one of the good ones" or some bullshit like that. Monty would calm down a bit once he's put in his place {but expect him to whine and bitch about it when he can.}

Anyway - I don't have too much to add to this, but if I come up with more I'll reblog / edit :) 🫀

also possibly drawing a certain murderous cannibal family..

working on Thomas Hewitt x Plus/Midsized reader..hooray for me ig

Still working on: Thomas Hewitt x Caring Reader - How Thomas' Outcome Would Differ From the 2006/2003 Remakes

Feel free to put requests here or in the ask box - Trust I'm cooking {it's burnt..that's okay}

I think Tommy would let his daughter do his hair {in the most fucked up style possible}

maybe some really uncoordinated bows and tangled strands or something
