Day 2-Ā Who is your favorite male character and why?
Boy howdy, if there was ever a character tailor-made to fit my interests, itās Thomas MacLaine. A nervous, shy guy who doesnāt fit his job at all and loves baking? And squirrels? Within five minutes of meeting him in-game, I shoutedĀ āI LOVE HIM!ā because... what a cutie. And just when I thought I had buried my feelingsĀ for crossdressing after my love of visual kei had waned... here comes Thomas MacLaine, looking beautiful in a dress, and I am weak. Beyond sayingĀ āHeās adorable and I love him!!!ā, I find him a character who just makes sense. I grew up in a small town, and thatās not a good settingĀ when youāre under the LGBT umbrella. I really see his relationship with George starting out of desperation to find anyone else who isnāt straight, and unfortunately getting dragged down by someone whoās controlling because he doesnāt have anyone else to turn to. It doesnāt help that Thomas is so shy, either, and has ~responsibilities~ keeping him in Greenvale. Iām always glad that his crossdressing is never portrayed in a comedic or negative light, with Georgeās mean comments about it cementing that Thomas was still his victim. Even with his breakdown at the end, I still find it so easy to sympathize with him. He just wants to be loved and wanted, is that so much to ask for? That said, I hope Emily is always making jokes about hooks around him in the afterlife. She deserves it.
