Do you ever think about how Flint & Hamilton were in their 30s when they met meaning that while they had no problem finding bedfellows they both had probably long given up on the idea of finding True Love and then they did cause I do and aaaaaagghh

aaaaaagghh indeed! 
I think Thomas wanted to find someone to really fall in love with, more than James did. Thomas was more than okay with his sexuality, he had things figured out in life. But who would want to be involved with a lord, when so much was in the line? It is one thing to be a lowborn and have a homosexual relationship, and another with one of the most famous men in London. He had of course some relationships, but they didn’t last.
James on the other hand, never even considered settling down with anyone, I think, or falling in love or finding true love. He had his career to focus on.  I am not sure if James even believed in that sort thing, in soulmates and in everlasting love. He thought that love, like everything else, was fleeting. And of course, he was in a big denial about his sexuality, so that didn’t help. James had his very short relationships, that didn’t matter to him much, probably just with women.

Do you ever think how rare that was? To find each other the way they did? to fall in love, to love each other so much? I cannot believe it’s canon that Thomas called him “My truest love.” like…more romantic than Jane Austen, I tell you that. How their love changed James for the better, how much he grew during their relationship, how happy they both must have been, being with each other, dreaming of the future….and then it was so brutally taken away from them. :’)

PS Let’s also point out how important their relationship is for lgbt+ okay (in comparison with other shows) ?? 1. you can always find love, not just a young person/teen. 2. non-straight relationships can be really healthy and not full of betrayal and drama 3. HAPPY ENDINGS. NO MATTER WHAT, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR HAPPY ENDING
