To Those in the Know

[suave_thomas]

I'm in Bradford!! Which is where I grew up, those of you who are like "Where the fuck is that?!" Yeah...valid. It's on the Avon!! I've just been spending time with Mumsie, Joe, Julian and my Mary. And it's been fantastic, even if Mums beat ALL of us at naughty word Scrabble last night. I was erm...slightly too inebriated to be much good.

What can I say? There's a lot one can learn in five hundred years, including how not to have bed hair, and many, many dirty words. Lavinia caught me out, though. Apparently "fucketh" is not the term we used back in those days. Maybe my memory is going.

I really like that very first picture of you. You look so happy. I'm so glad that particular moment has been preserved forever. Also, I can't say that the preservation of Joe's body is a bad thing, either. He's a very attractive man. When he's not poking television sets...

It's very strange seeing Spectre with short hair. But the blonde streaks work for him very nicely.

[suave_thomas]

But it IS a very cool word!! And I think your memory is impeccable. You tell the best stories...

I like it too. I was happy! I am happy. I'm sad Mums is selling the place, but I'm glad I get to have a last partytime here. It was a good place to live. Full of love. Not so much full of money, but love is more important. And I'm sure that he is!! I can't look directly AT the photo though...

Don't they just?! I love it like that! And like it is now too.

[lady_with_thee]

There have certainly been some moments worth re-telling over the years. Many of them involve you, now.

I love to see you happy, Thomas. That place has been so imbued with love, that doubtless it will bring many joyful years to a new family. It's good to pass on that sort of thing. Priceless, in fact. The Littleton house contains everything that money can't buy.

I'll remember your aversion to the Joe photo should I ever need to be horrible and taunt you.

[suave_thomas]

God, you say the best things. Thank you, Mary. So much.

It certainly does. I hope whomever lives in it next can feel love just emanating from the walls. Which is kind of weird, but it's a nice thought!

Oh, thanks!

[in_spectre_mors]

Goodness me! I'm even smaller than usual. But at least my taste was still impeccable back then. I look fantastic!

You, however, look divine. What a beautiful man you are, Thomas, drunk or sober. You make a sensational George Clooney! Much better than the original.

I'm not sure I ever wanted to see quite so much of Joe... I'm glad I had the ball-pit photo to keep scrolling back to. He does have a very nicely-toned body, though.

I love the photo of Mary. That's a work of art.

It sounds like you've all had such a wonderful family time together. I'm very happy, though I do wish I could have been in two places at once!

[suave_thomas]

You always look fantastic! And yes...smaller. But I was trying not to focus on that. The lickable was good to focus on!

Ooh, thank you!

Hahaha! He's quite amused! He says 'Yeah, that reaction proves you're my brother now!' That, or frightened by men brandishing leaves!

Isn't it? It's so Mary.

I wish you could have too. But there will be more family time. This isn't the last time I'll be here. Speaking of, Mums is poking me and telling me to inform you that you are expected at the family Christmas do. Which I probably won't be here for, but as Ellie and Adam would be, that's probably for the best. She says she doesn't know where it is yet because it used to be HERE and here should be sold by then. The food and the love aren't to be missed. I know that from experience.

[in_spectre_mors]

Why thank you! I could probably have used some good licking. Of course, now I know what I was missing out on!

Oh yes, Joe and I definitely have the brotherly love. It would be a pity if I were afraid of men brandishing leaves, what with your propensity for gardening...

I would love to join in the Littleton Christmas do! It could even be at our place, should it please Lavinia. We have plenty of room, and a spacious kitchen for everyone who wants to lend a hand with the cooking. It's an option, anyway. I'll be there, Mum can stop poking you now!

[suave_thomas]

Oh dear. Now I want to lick you right away. Alas. You know you turn me in to a great big mother hen, right? I just want to fuss right now, and give you biccies. And licking.

What a good point!! Honestly, I never felt the urge to POSE in my garden though...which is good because that probably would have been frowned upon at the Abbey...

She says that's a wonderful idea and she thinks you're brilliant. And I think she said something about a pert bum...but I tried not to listen to that part...(though she IS right...)

[empress_tasha]

Hahaha... if someone had used the word "unholy" to describe me, it would have just been a turn-on. Actually, they did and it was... Showing me the alleyways you threw up in might have had the desired antaphrodisiac effect, though. At least you and Mary have reached the point where you can do those things!

Those are some truly beautiful (and occasionally silly) pictures. Joe teaches us to have a greater appreciation of nature, as well as television. He is a man of contradictions. Meanwhile, you teach us that life is beautiful while sober, but it's just funny while drunk.

Your lovers are gorgeous, you lucky man.

[suave_thomas]

That's part of what makes you so awesome! And really, I sort of...do those things anyway and hope that the other person finds it oddly charming instead of disturbing...

Joe is a man of contradictions and lots of balls!

I know they are! And I know I am :) And I tell them I think that too.

[empress_tasha]

Well, clearly you have balls as well, so that's certainly impressive! I love that you're always happy to demonstrate exactly who Thomas is and has been. Alleyway vomit and all. Really, Thomas is a fantastic person to be, and to be around!

They're very lucky to have you, too. It's a good system.

[suave_thomas]

Whoohoo!! Joe doesn't have MY balls...

Thomas appreciates that you appreciate him! Honestly...I never saw the point in hiding who I was. I was just me. And if people didn't like that, oh well. Oddly enough, I think most people did like it. Which I hope doesn't make me sound vain.

I really think so too.

[virtuosic_flair]

AUGH, DAD!

[hail_st_joseph]

Your mother put me up to it...

[virtuosic_flair]

...Noooooooooo!
