I did not know that. That is adorable. I feel happier now for knowing that.

(Even if Thomas causes me too much stress.)

Watch this

[(Anonymous)]

And tell me they're not the cutest thing on the planet.

Damn, my embedding didn't work.

Re: Watch this

[inkdust]

N'awww. And Allen Leech can't stop laughing.

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, Thomas is so overrated.

[fingalsanteater]

I love Thomas. A lot. Branson is growing on me.

I kind of ship them. Anyone else do too?

[funyarinpainahat]

I've just finished the second season so I can't speak about the third, but I see it a million times more with the actors. I don't think the characters have chemistry at all.

But I don't ship anything in DA so that' just me.

[fingalsanteater]

Yeah. I don't really ship anything either in DA. Thomas and Branson haven't really interacted, and I'm one of those people who likes my ships to have canon interaction. If someone wrote some good fic for Thomas/Branson, I'd check it out.

[(Anonymous)]

I still have two episodes to go before I'm caught up, including the 2012 Christmas special, but I'm really surprised that anyone likes Thomas. I can understand feeling sorry for some things, but not liking him. He's mean, petty, dishonest, and manipulative. He's the only character I don't like at even a little.

[inkdust]

You like O'Brien even a little?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. Far from perfect and still almost as manipulative as Thomas but nowhere near as selfish or mean.

[aubry]

I have a lot of sympathy for O'Brien. She's an absolute wagon to people a lot of the time, but you can tell she's terribly unhappy with her life, and aware that she'll never get a chance to live up to her own potential. She's too smart for her job. (Also, rewatching S1 I am now entirely on her side about Bates. You go, Sarah! Take him out!)

[fauxkaren]

I just think that Thomas is one of the more complex characters on the show. Plus he's one of the better written ones and he's definitely one of the best-acted characters, imo.

Idk. I think he's a great character.

[funyarinpainahat]

This exactly. I started watching the first episode right as the duke and Thomas kissed, and I felt so bad for him afterwards. Then I watched the episode from the beginning and a few more that came after and thought to myself "Man, this guy just sucks as a human being." But I still like him. Yes, he's a piece of shit, but he's a wildly entertaining piece of shit.

(Also does anyone have any links to some DA icons?)

[deadtree]

I agree on all of this... I don't like Thomas as a human being, sometimes, but he's a great character.

[truxillogical]

I think that's why he's my second favorite character on the show. He is such a flawed, damaged human being, and the one who suffers most for his flaws is himself. His life sucks about 30% because of the hand he's been dealt (born into service, gay), and 70% because of the stupid, stupid decisions he makes.

I love watching him because he's like a train wreck. Every time he gets an idea, you're just watching for the moment where it all falls apart and makes his life even worse. And half the time (or more in the beginning), you're egging it on because he sure deserves it.

But then they catch you with the sympathy. You can see how badly he just wants out, how much he wants freedom, or at least respect and the power to be his own man. And who working a crappy job for an unappreciative boss doesn't know that feel? He wants love, but knows he'll never get it. He knows most people don't like him much, so convinces himself that everyone hates him and even more, that he doesn't care, until something bad enough happens that it cracks him.

He wants things with the same desperate desire that many people can relate to, but the choices he makes to get those things are always, invariable awful.

He's kind of earned a hug and a friend by the end of season 3, though.

[fingalsanteater]

You still have two episodes until the Christmas special? Your views on Thomas may shift. I hope that's not a spoiler for you. I'll be curious to see if you mind changes somewhat, though.

I've always found his character to be delightfully flawed, complex and sympathetic. It might just be me.

[funyarinpainahat]

It seems like the show gears us up to hate him...and then just breaks him, over and over again.

I've been told that this basically explains season 3?

[funyarinpainahat]

Allen Leech + Rob James Collier = Greatest bromance ever.

(It doesn't help that Allen always acts like he's waiting for Rob to kiss him.)

[(Anonymous)]

Aww, that's adorable. I love it when actors/actresses become best friends, I like seeing people being happy and having fun on set.

[truxillogical]

I had no idea that they were buddies, and this makes me so happy!

[la_petite_singe]

Y E S. THOSE TWO. ♥ So adorbs irl, and of course they hardly ever get scenes together, so when they do it's just awesome. Their hug after the tug-of-war was pretty much the only thing I liked about the X-mas special, lbr.

[citrinesunset]

I didn't know they were friends! That's neat. It always makes me happy when cast mates are good friends.

[tabaqui]

I did not know this, and now i want to know moooooooooooooar! Like - links and Tumblrs and all that.

:)
