"Countless lifetimes have passed since the coming of Thomas. The world thrives, gaily, under the new rule.
But all things have a cost, and we did not see what it would be until it was too late. Now, six heroes must brave the Temple of Thomas, and seal the Hetero away once and for all."
Fuck Dave. He deserves to be exiled. Second worst part of Fallout 3, just after the absolute copout that is Fawkes saying "But thou must" to going into the chamber.
Tbh sometimes that doesn't even need to be a talent, it could just be someone who can be there to accept people and just Be Around as a friend, since that allows someone to experiment and test their perception around others.
You don't need to have therapist-levels of social perception skills to be that, sometimes you can just be Thomas, the person who you can still be friends with, despite everything.
I know a Thomas too! He's the straight cis eye of a queer hurricane. And it wasn't always this way, he just keeps pulling folks into his massive orbit. Folks who later realize they are queer. He never brings it up or even seems to notice.
I finally realized what's going on and it's just a little weird. Like, what the hell is going on? Do my friends even have free will?! Do I?!
I conclude that Thomas has such a pure heart and loves so freely that he innervates people with restless souls. They/we are drawn to this vibe like planets in his solar orbit.
