Everyone’s reaction when they thought Thomas was leaving:

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

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

I'm really bored so CALICO CRITTERS AS DOWNTON CHARACTERS!

Starting off, this is definitely Robert and Cora:

Keeping up with couples, here's Matthew and Mary:

Ok, now Anna and Bates:

Now, you know it, my favorite babygirl Thomas:

I don't know what to tell you other than he is giving William vibes:

Too cute for him but this is Carson:

Now, my girl Mary:

This is Jimmy simply because he too is a red flag:

Finally, we have master George:

thanks for coming to my ted talk, feel free to add more

I firmly believe that Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham is not only bisexual, but he earnestly believes that every man on planet Earth is just naturally bi.

On the one hand, he totally gets Thomas being attracted to men. Who doesn’t fool around with other chaps at school or in the trenches, come on now??? But eventually you grow up, get married to some nice girl, have children. That’s just how it’s done. So Robert simultaneously juggles confusion regarding Thomas’s inability to “get with the program,” so to speak.

And then of course there’s the unspoken, lightly simmering sexual tension between him and Bates. Robert “knows” it’s mutual - meanwhile, Bates knows it isn’t actually mutual, but he’s much too polite to ever mention that.
