Thinking about the end of TCM 2003
Listening to Televangelism and thinking about the scene from 1:28:10 to 1:19:20 in the 2003 TCM. Man..I know it's supposed to be a victorious moment for Erin, which it absolutely is - But God I can just imagine how stressful it was for the family. Not only did Thomas just lose an arm, but Charlie dies too? Henrietta loses "her" baby?
I can just imagine Luda rushing over to Charlie's body, not fully processing that she just lost her son / brother - Family member nonetheless. Someone she'd already lost him once {the war as well as his 'Hoyt' persona} - Only to lose him again - eternally. And on top of that; Her only surviving son comes home mutilated?? AS WELL AS having to re-home?
Henrietta was evidently attached to that kid; How she got her was wrong, but she loved her nonetheless. Hen has no idea where she is, how she disappeared - Her stress is through the roof when paired with the other tragedies.
What hurts the most is that just before Charlie's death - Just before the baby is rescued - We see a true moment of humanity within the Hewitts. All of them leaning to see the baby - Charlie showing up instead of Hoyt; His calmer, more open and affectionate qualities showing just enough. Henrietta cooing over "her daughter" - All whilst Luda Mae watches over. AND THE BIGGEST THING: We're introduced through a window. Through Erin's perspective. Why is this important? Because we're watching through a barrier. This is something the family is doing behind closed doors. As soon as the truck driver knocks, their expressions change. 'Charlie' turns into 'Hoyt' {via his serious and pestered expression} - Henrietta gets nervous and shields the baby whilst reassuring her - And Luda Mae's kind and patient demeanor immediately replaced by a guarded and defensive shadow.
Where do they go from here? The strongest member of the family is severely injured and with half the resources he previously had - Will likely be bed-ridden for weeks. The second-strongest, protective figure who ALSO went and 'lured' their main food source is dead. The only ones left are semi-mobile and frail. What else is there? And to think Thomas STAYS?? He stays at the house?? {if we go by the deleted / extended scenes.} The entire family dynamic has to be changed now - Most likely with Luda Mae at the top.
"This family has endured through adversity and pain. We have endured; We have prevailed. We will never go hungry again." Just repeating in Luda's mind as she clutches his hat in despair. Thomas finally coming home only to find his father figure, his main support system - dead and gone.
Y'all I kid you not I have so much going through my mind about this scene
°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
As Thomas' chainsaw collided with the car side, he noticed "SHERIFF" printed on the side doors. Hoyt wouldn't have given up his car - or left the keys in a vulnerable location. Did she steal it? She had to - Hoyt wasn't that clueless. But how? He would've seen it, wouldn't he?
Thomas continued his sluggish walk to the community center; He would've lost so much that day - Mentally preparing to be scolded about "letting Erin get away" - Hoyt would glare upwards at Thomas as he did.
"How the fuck could you let her go?! You see what you've done, Thomas? Now where the hell are we s'posed to go?"
But that scolding never came. Banshee wails and hoarse cries flooded the asphalt road, growing louder as Thomas drew near. A semi-truck was blocking the back road, but not enough to cover Thomas' vision. As he landed closer he saw three silhouettes: One scrawny, mid-height woman clutching her chest as she sobbed near the community center door. Another woman, this time much older, hunched over a figure in the road - the source of the wails. It was his mother.
Her already disheveled appearance deteriorated in the shivering rain - Watered-down and streaky red pigment stained her fingers, which bled onto the sheriff's hat encapsulated within her hands. Though Thomas couldn't make out the wails, he deciphered "Charlie" a few times. Thomas was so perplexed - Charlie what? As he peered down, all confusion was plagued by a sense of shared torment.
Charlie's "uniform" was always covered in blood - But it was never his. Not until today. It had been ironed that evening - Crisp and warm underneath his raincoat. Instead of a dusty blue, his raincoat bled crimson - and mahogany.
Thomas would've taken a scolding over losing Charlie any day. He would've much preferred if Erin had killed him instead. Seeing his mother in hysterics - pleading with God to bring him back. Suddenly, Charlie was overseas again - And Thomas was checking everyday to see if he'd come home. He'd point to Charlie's picture then to his chair in the dining room: "When is Charlie coming home?"
Instead of the expected yelling - The screaming-vomit erupting from Hoyt - Thomas was met with Hoyt's silence. Instead of his furious eyes burning invasively into Thomas' skull - Thomas was met with empty, soulless eyes lost within the asphalt and glazed over with a garnet hue.
"Come on, Tommy, ain't no different than the slaughterhouse. Meat's meat; Bone's bone. Get it done."

Dumb, dumb, dumb-ish, and dummer
Does the fit go hard
That latest post you answered about the family's takes on racism got me wondering, would the family even consider/let Thomas keep a reader that isn't from the Christian faith? I'm mainly thinking about the other two Abraham religions (Judaism & Islam), or would they just kill them off for being different?
How the Hewitts Would React to Someone of Different Faith
I actually haven't thought about this! I think it really depends on the reader / individual as well as their relationship with the family {though mostly their relationship with Thomas.} If it's another Abrahamic religion, I think the family would be much more accepting than if it was something like Paganism. If it was something Pagan, Agnostic, or Atheist, be prepared for religious lectures and sermons about "Devil talk." Hoyt will most definitely call you a "blasphemous bitch" or something of that sort - Something to insult your faith will be likely. This'll mostly occur during arguments - Predominantly religion-related. You'll need to pray with them during dinner, they do not give a fuck what religion you are - Even if you aren't religious - Just pray. It's what's best for your survival honestly.
They'd probably try to convert you {and by they, I mean Luda Mae} - no matter the religion. "But it's basically the same thing; Why not become a Christian?" "Y/N, we just want whats best for you. You don't want to end up in hell, do you?" If you dare remind them that they're all going to hell, expect major offense and an obstreperous argument involving Luda Mae and Hoyt. Those two against you? Yeah..not gonna end well. And trust me when I say Thomas won't be any help - He knows when to intervene, and he will ONLY when and if it gets violent.
It'll die down with time, especially if Thomas likes you {romantically or platonically.} The family {Luda Mae especially} prioritizes Thomas' happiness in the little things - Meaning they'd leave it be after a while. As long as you treat them well {specifically Thomas}, contribute to the family, respect their beliefs {even if they won't respect yours...} and earn their trust, you'll be alright {in time}!
Thank you for the ask ! 🫀
OKOKOK super random but how do u think each of the TCM ppl (either OG or 2003 remake) would be like if they met a latino? I know for a FACT that Luda Mae would be sweet AF, and hoyts deffo being racist af lmao. I think Tommy would be neutral thru pure ignorance?
Hi! I actually had a post coming up that discussed the family's views on race and racism in general: Hope this works 🫀
The entire Hewitt family {besides Thomas} are racist in some shape or form. Monty would just mumble slurs under his breath like the coward he is - I doubt he'd spew insults at someone like Hoyt would. Speaking of Hoyt; He would not ONLY vomit insults and slurs, this ho would actively side-eye and avoid people he didn't like. I'm gonna be slightly controversial and say he wouldn't be outwardly racist to the majority, but I have an inkling he'd be real racist to East Asians and Latinos. Koreans especially, considering his previous trauma as a POW.
Henrietta and the Tea Lady {and slightly Luda Mae} would be racist in the "People in your culture" type of way. Like the type of people who say "y'know, I heard in x country, they did yz" or "Do your people do xy like us?" and so forth. 'Innocent' questions that have racist undertones if you get what I'm saying. Luda Mae's still sweet, don't worry, but considering the time period she not only resides in, but grew up in, there's underlying racism somewhere. I think there's a lot of misinformation and racist things that weren't 'considered' racist at the time which the family would say; Excluding Thomas for obvious reasons.
In all actuality, I don't think Thomas is a racist guy. Ignorant, maybe; But not racist. I don't think he focuses on race / ethnicity simply because he has other things to worry about. He's weary of everyone for self-preservation purposes. Like I stated earlier, he's probably heard racist things from the family *cough cough* Hoyt and Monty - But I doubt he agrees or even really processes them fully. He wouldn't treat someone any differently; Maybe a bit curious but never derogatory or fetishizing. LUDA MAE ON THE OTHER HAND...{sorry, I know this post is all over the place} would have some {minor} fetishizing. Not because she's a bad person {in this scenario} but because she's ignorant. There's a post by BOOdalinski that goes into wonderful detail about the family's racism {both intentional and unintentional.} She'd stop once she's informed of how dehumanizing it can be, and how generally uncomfortable her comments are. Thomas is her son for Christ's sake, she'd never try to make someone feel dehumanized after what it put Thomas through.
And I'll be honest - Hoyt would warm up to you / anyone close to the family. He has his views, sure, but he'd still respect the qualities a person has over their unchangeable characteristics. He'd be the type to say "Y'know, you're one of the good ones" or some bullshit like that. Monty would calm down a bit once he's put in his place {but expect him to whine and bitch about it when he can.}
Anyway - I don't have too much to add to this, but if I come up with more I'll reblog / edit :) 🫀
CHARLIE (R LEE ERMEY) IS SO HOT I CANT HIDE IT ANYMORE🤰🤰
I mean..at times
Thoughts on how the TCM (2003 & 2006) guys would react to going to kill a cockroach and it starts flying?
I know for a fact hoyt would be all macho and pissy and yelling at everyone for not being man enough to kill it and then he screams and runs away as soon as that shit starts flying
TCM {2003 / 2006} Men Reacting to a {Flying} Cockroach
Jedidiah seems like a kid who would love observing creatures and wildlife but would be terrified as soon as that thing started flying. ESPECIALLY if it flew towards him or got on him unexpectedly.
Monty would probably just get his dog to eat it or something - or call Thomas to catch / release it.
Hoyt's is hard to imagine considering this guy is so different depending on the situation - But you're right; He'd most definitely groan about "just kill it - it's a harmless bug, ect." up until it starts flying. He'd probably try to avoid the roach whilst yelling at "someone" to get it out of annoyance and slight discomfort.
Thomas would just kill it. He'd be walking to catch / squish it and be a bit startled once it starts flying - but he'd still get it either way. Working in a slaughterhouse - There's flies, larvae, gnats, roaches, rats, spiders, mice, wasps, maybe larder beetles; All sorts of pests and unpredictable creatures which he'd probably be used to.
Thank you for the ask 🫀 I think I got everyone on the list? If I didn't, I'll update the ask if you'd like me to!
The Hewitt Family Tree {Potentially Canon?}
So..it's very obvious that the Hewitt family tree is..more than complicated. The ages and the relations between the seven members can be perplexing. I attempted to be as canon as possible, but there's always room for criticism and changes :)
Here's an *attempt* at a family tree {Click for better quality, I do apologize.}.
Luda Mae, Montgomery, and Katherine are the children of an unknown woman and Charles 'Charlie' Hewitt. Charles 'Charlie' Hewitt Jr. {Hoyt}, is the child of Luda Mae and Charles Hewitt {nonconsensual}. Thomas is the child of Sloane {factory worker} and an unknown father. Henrietta is the child of Katherine and an unknown father. Jedidiah's origins are unknown; But he is the grandson of Luda Mae Hewitt.
Luda Mae appears to be the eldest; Marietta Marich, the actress which portrayed Luda Mae, was quoted saying "Whenever I do a part, I like to get into the character — just become the character — and make her as real as possible. So I figured Luda Mae was dirt poor and probably one of four or five kids, and the oldest, so she's like the momma." According to the official Texas Chainsaw Massacre Wiki on Fandom, Monty is around 70 years old, born in 1903; Making him 66 in the 2006 prequel, and 70 in the 2003 remake. On Hoyt's wiki page, he was born in 1914; Making him 55 in the 2006 prequel, and 59 at the time of his death during the 2003 remake. The Tea Lady, dubbed 'Kathy', has no official age or date of birth, but many speculate {based on her appearance as well as her actor, Kathy Lamkin,} that she is in her late-forties to mid-fifties. Henrietta also does not have an official age nor date of birth; Many speculate {based on her appearance as well as her actor, Heather Kafka,} that she is in her early-to-mid-thirties. Jedidiah's wiki page reveals no age nor date of birth, but speculates he was born in the late 1960's, making him around 5-9 years old. David Dorfman, the actor that portrayed Jedidiah, was 10 at the time of filming the 2003 remake. Thomas was born in August of 1939; Making him 30 during the 2006 prequel, and 34 at the time of the 2003 remake.
Hope this clears things up for some!
Much love, 🫀
Disgusting shitposting autism moment
All gross disgusting revolting images made by me {thank you Picsart} Throw up on me Thomas /J
Every time I listen to Inbred by Ethel Cain I think of TCM; Specially the 2003/2006 franchise but I guess the others work just as well. Especially:
"You get off on innocence, so you savor this Does your baby know her daddy's a rapist? He hates the way you look at me You're already dead, you're already dead
If he wakes up, he'll show you what I'm talking about
You can't win 'em all Who knows how much longer I'll lay on the floor? Touch me 'til I vomit I'm not scared of God, I'm scared he was gone all along (oh, oh)
Who will take the fall? Who of us is stronger? You'll just want it more If you could, you'd have fought it, but you know you're not From the start, they knew you were wrong, you were wrong"
____
IS THIS NOT TCM?? HELLO?? DOES THIS NOT AUTOMATICALLY REMIND YOU OF HOYT AND THOMAS??
The section mentioned above really really reminds me of Hoyt. The line "If he wakes up, he'll show you what I'm talking about" reminds me of the distinction of Hoyt versus Charlie. @demphen hints at this in their fic, Darkest Hour {which is phenomenal, it's a good read🫀,} Hoyt and Charlie are almost two "entities" living in one vessel. Charlie's vessel. I like to think Charlie was permanently altered after the war; As would anyone after experiencing such trauma. I think the town dying, Thomas losing his job, and killing the sheriff was what finally did it. What finally "killed" Charlie. Charlie was hanging by a thread; clawing at the shell which once was his, desperately trying to restore the lifeline only to be shut out and 'killed' once the sheriff was too. The one thing keeping the town inline; Keeping Charlie inline, was gone. Hoyt realized {and maybe always knew} that the "protectors" never cared about his family. Back to how this relates to the Inbred lyrics; It almost feels like Hoyt waking up within Charlie. Charlie is in there, we can see "him" when he talks to the family. But as soon as things go rogue, Hoyt 'awakens.' If he = Hoyt; Wakes up, he'll show you what I'm talking about = someone gets hurt. This is LITERALLY like the hitchhiker scene in the 2003 remake !! "He's a bad man, he's a really bad man -- you're all gonna die."
This song also reminds me of Thomas; Specifically:
"Older brother made a name for himself with the cops Scumbag fuck, but I swear that he's not He's so good to me and to nobody else So you should watch yourself
Mama's comatose, she can't leave the bed Something smells rotten and it starting to spread I'm bad, he's worse, we're already dead We're already dead"
____
"Older brother made a name for himself with the cops - Scumbag fuck but I swear that he's not" reminds me of Hoyt and Thomas' relationship. For one, Hoyt not only "became" part of law enforcement, he was a POW. Now, a POW is not someone who gets "involved with the cops" per se, but he did get involved in serious warfare which for some reason reminds me of this line. The following line "Scumbag fuck but I swear that he's not" reminds me of the intense family pride. I think Thomas knows Hoyt is a bad person. Hell, aren't they all? But at the same time he loves his family; They're all he has. Continuing with this narrative; "He's so good to me, and to nobody else - So you should watch yourself." We know Hoyt cares for Thomas, but he's definitely 'tough-love' and judgmental. So this line reminds me of them more because of the essence: He treats us {the family} well, no one else gets that privilege. Watch yourself :)
Now, the line "Mama's comatose, she can't leave the bed" reminds me of Monty, as opposed to Luda Mae. Monty really can't do anything anymore. He used to help tow the victim's cars and help with mechanic repair; But he obviously can't do that now. So it's more the essence of the line as opposed to the line itself. Following up with "Something smells rotten and it's starting to spread" has always reminded me of Thomas' skin condition. His condition caused his skin to rot to such an extreme that he amputated his nose. His condition obviously spread throughout his face, causing him to cover it fully. I guess the anxiety of "it's starting to spread" reminded me of Thomas in a way. How anxious he must've felt seeing his condition worsen over time; Taking more and more of him until it's all he was. His one defining feature.
"I'm bad, he's worse, we're already dead - We're already dead"
We're already dead.
"Anyway, staying around this town, there's no more jobs, no more money, no more food. It's down right suicidal."
We're already dead.
"You can't have a creature like that around normal folk, that's what I'm saying."
I'm bad, he's worse, we're already dead.
"People may not remember what we say here tonight, but they sure as shit gonna remember what we do. Thanks to the good sheriff here...We ain't gonna go hungry tonight. Matter of fact, we ain't never gonna starve again."
