Get related data through relation - laravel-5.5

Question

I am using laravel 5.5.13.
I have App\Entity which has many App\Comment's and many App\Thumb's.
Now I am able to fetch the Comments and Thumbs easily like this:
public function show(Entity $entity)
{
return $entity->load('comments')->load('thumbs');
}
This gives data like this:
{
"id": 1,
"kind": null,
"name": "three",
"created_at": "2017-11-01 04:29:22",
"updated_at": "2017-11-01 04:29:22",
"comments": [
{
"id": 5,
"body": "no non o",
"displayname_id": 4,
"entity_id": 1,
"created_at": "2017-11-01 05:16:14",
"updated_at": "2017-11-01 05:16:14"
}
],
"thumbs": [
{
"id": 9,
"like": 0,
"displayname_id": 5,
"entity_id": 1,
"created_at": "2017-11-01 05:16:39",
"updated_at": "2017-11-01 05:16:39"
}
]
}
However, I also need a list of the $comment->displaynames() and $thumb->displaynames() and also each comment has many App\Votes via the $comment->votes(). Is it possible. I read lots on pivot but I am real confused.
My goal is to get data like this:
{
// removed for concise (same as above)
"comments": [
{
// removed for concise (same as above)
"votes": [
..... // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I want to get this
]
},
{
// removed for concise (same as above)
"votes": [
..... // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I want to get this
]
}
],
"thumbs": [
{
// removed for concise (same as above)
}
],
"displaynames": [
..... // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I want to get this
]
}
We see here the new displaynames array and a votes array in each comment.
Do i have to use pivot here to in a one-to-many relationship?

Your controller:
Entity::
with(['comments' => function($query){
$query->with('votes');
}, 'thumbs' => function($query){
$query->with('votes');
}])
->find($entity->id);
And relations:
entity has many comments
entity has many thumbs
thumb has many votes
comment has many votes
And you should tell more specific information about displayName relation...
EDIT:
Entity::
with(['comments' => function($query){
$query->with(['votes', 'displayName']);
}, 'thumbs' => function($query){
$query->with(['votes', 'displayName']);
}, 'displayName'])
->find($entity->id);
EDIT-2:
Entity::
with(['comments' => function($query){
$query->with(['votes' => function($query){
$query->with('displayName');
}, 'displayName']);
}, 'thumbs' => function($query){
$query->with(['votes' => function($query){
$query->with('displayName');
}, 'displayName']);
}, 'displayName'])
->find($entity->id);
