Thomas: I Think If You Sucked Jello Up A Tube It Would Be A Nice Noise.

Thomas (mumbling absentmindedly): I'm so eepy. I'm literally the eepiest. I'm an eeper.

Newt, with tears running down his face: What are you saying.

new flashing youtube ad just dropped. here's the first frame

you have exactly 3/4ths of a second before the flashing lights start. there are three bursts and each lasts just under half a second. they're red and black.

hope this is helpful. consider circulating this.

there are so many times in the books where thomas attempts to make a joke and no one laughs. nobody finds him funny. his comedic timing could be perfect and everyone would just stare at him. like. "what are you saying now maze boy."

*finishes watching the scorch trials and immediately rewinds it back to the start and watches it again*

I get so emotional about Newt saying “and I remember you” in his letter because he didn’t always get to remember. His memories were stolen before he woke up in the Box and imo it’s one of the greatest tragedies in the series. Thirteen years of experiences, grief, and friendships that were lost to time,,,, he had a little sister, and no one will ever know because that knowledge was taken from both of them.

But he remembered Thomas.

The importance of memory and its intrinsic connection to identity was stated in the letter (I want you to know that I'm not afraid. Well, not of dying, anyway, it’s more forgetting. It's losing myself to this virus, that's what scares me). Forgetting was conflated with losing his sense of self, both of which he considered a fate worse than death. I feel like the Gladers almost saw memory and identity as privileges. They weren’t guarantees, since they’d all forgotten everything and the threat of losing themselves was very present in their lives, both through the Changing and later with the Flare. The memories Newt made during and after the Maze were memories he fought for, as was the person he became. As he wrote the letter, he could feel the latter slipping. In the end, the memories would go too.

But. But. He held onto those memories until he was literally collapsed on the ground and half out of his mind. He remembered Thomas. And he knew he would follow him anywhere. And if he could do it all over again, he would, and he wouldn’t change a thing. He would go through everything - forgetting, building himself back up from the ground, losing that self to the virus.

And I just. I just think that I remember you is such a profound admission of love from someone who has fought and is still actively fighting to do that. I may be losing myself, but I remember you. I may have lost almost everything else, but I remember you. Getting to here, where I am remembering you, has taken a world of things from me, has taken my past and my identity and nearly everyone I’ve ever loved, but I would follow you into that mess all over again, because it brought me to you, and it brought me to my family, and it brought me back to myself, and at the end of the day those things are all the same. I am dying, and I remember you.

Alby: can you please be serious for like- five minutes?

Thomas: my record is four but I can try.

Newt: I trust Thomas. Minho: You think he knows what he's doing? Newt: I wouldn't go that far.

my thomas (maze runner) headcanons

he absolutely snorts when he laughs

dude has perpetually popping joints and they scare the shit out of everyone around him because his joints are so goddamn loud

he canNOT sleep with a pillow. every time he wakes up in a bed that has a pillow, said pillow is on the floor several feet away and he can't for the life of him figure out why

one time he slept through an entire day and woke up thinking he'd died and come back to life

will fuck up a carton of mini muffins

snores very quietly most of the time but sometimes gets so loud he wakes himself up

he can't decide if he's a dog person or a cat person so he's in constant moral turmoil
