hold fast.

I do say so. though, I completely understand the confusion over popularity and your place in it. you would? oh, nothing would make me happier! not that shakespeare is easily comprehensible for me but I’ll do my best to keep up. aww, that’s so sweet of you. I bet you’re her favorite storyteller. oh, I love tiktok, not on there much due to my busy schedule but when I am, it’s often to update fans or just mess around. it’s good that you keep an open mind when it comes to music, you find so many gems that way. definitely knew cardi and I had something special with that one. haha. feeling the pressure here. ha.

That’s understandable, sometimes it’s all about finding the right teacher to explain to you what’s happening to really gain a grasp on it. Maybe it’ll spark inspiration for your next hit. Megan Thee Stallion’s twist on Romeo and Juliet or Julius Caesar, I’d like to hear it. Give Taylor a run for her money. I read stories every time I see her, but she keeps growing by the day so soon before long, she won’t want storytimes anymore. She’s about 11 now. I try not to get on it often because once I do, it’s hard to get off of it. It’s definitely great to have, that way there’s always songs for every mood you’re in and it’s good to educate yourself on others cultures, music is a very powerful and essential tool. You really did!  

I’ve been really lucky in that way, honestly. I guess Disney helped with that. Again, it’s mostly parents that are the problem. I always try to get kids to celebrate their individuality and do whatever they want to achieve that, and I try to promote positivity, but then I get parents yelling at me that I’m too sexual for Disney because I wear a tank top. It’s a rough two way street. Oh my God, seriously? Does your niece have a favorite? And is it Mal? Because I can totally hook her up. Ooh, maybe when it all comes out I’ll watch it all the way through.

Usually, and I do feel bad for kids that are unable to express themselves while being kids. I know how great of an opportunity disney must be for young actors but I can only imagine also how detrimental it can be to their mental health as far as getting forced into an unrealistic role model position when you’re only so young yourself. Tell them to kick rocks, do what you want. It’s not your responsibility to raise someone else’s kids. I honestly have no idea but if she has any taste, it is definitely Mal. I’ll have to ask. It’s definitely a good show to binge the whole way through, and you’ve only got a week before the last one is available. 

If we can make it happen, all the better. I’m not too fussy, it could be a play or a movie, even a small appearance in Loki this new season. I can play a variant or something. Oi, you’ll see. You won’t regret it because it sounds just like it tastes, really, if not better. And you don’t just have to trust my word here, I’ve been told plenty of times by people who had no connection with one another, that’s more than reliable evidence. Alright, in that case I’m going to have to start believing it because I’m going to run out of faces to make and words to thank you, and starting to look and sound like a complete lunatic instead. That’s a good thing, to have been able to catch it in time and not aggravate the situation, though something tells me it wouldn’t get that bad. Nine months is still too young, and from the looks of it you seem a really great father which initially can only mean she’ll always be in her best behaviour. Thank you, darling. You’re far too sweet to me. In fact I still try to be spoiled, my two brothers and my mother do what it’s in their hands, but it’s not the same anymore, is it? I wish I could go back to the good ol’ days and get everything I wanted by pouting. There was nothing I couldn’t get away with.

I’m not fussy, either, and I’m sure it will happen one of these days! I am sending it off into the universe. I would love that, I’m already casting you as a princess who can hold her own and challenges him. I have no doubt it is amazing, I am practically drooling as we speak. Hey, whatever gets you to accept the facts, but I want to see these faces you’re speaking of because I bet they’re great. Exactly, and all we want is to be able to look back on our childhood and old photos and videos and know how loved we really were. Thank you, I do my best with her, but I’m not looking forward to the times I’ll have to be hard on her, either. I might be overdoing it a bit with the compliments and praise, for that I will apologize, but a woman as lovely as yourself should be bombarded with those. Find the right person, and you will get everything you ask for or even glance at for two seconds. I bet you’ve still got an adorable puppy face.

I mean, he is your most iconic character, and I think if Marvel has taught anyone anything its that Loki is never truly dead. She’s super professional, I think she’s doing music now? It’s fucking sick. Plus we keep in touch so if she ever needs her head straightened out I got her covered. So I’ve been told, but I will be perpetually playing a 17 year old my entire life, which isn’t my favorite thing. Oooh, the Crucible! I think I read that once, when I did the homeschool thing.

Honestly, that is all thanks to the fans. I’ve had the ‘this is really it for him’ speech about three times now then got calls back because fans wouldn’t accept it. Is she really? We better watch out, we’re all about to be out of a job due to what that little girl can do. Too much talent in those little fingers. I don’t think you’ll portray seventeen year olds forever, maybe until you’re 27-30, if that - sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? I don’t blame you, I wouldn’t want to be a teenager forever, either. That’s a really difficult part of life for anyone and having to constantly revisit would be mentally draining. Have another read, it is a wild ride from start to finish.  

That’s right, older young Tom being a lusty vicar - nothing difficult to understand there, right? Yep, I’ve got a whole list of roles you’ve played that I’d love to play. Not the exact character, but the style of roles. Same with Benedict. Do you think I could play Sherlock Holmes?

That’s the response I’ve gotten over the years, you have to get a priest role! Not sure what it is with that specific kink people have got, I mean, I’m sure it’s a kink and not because they see me as holy and righteous. Hopefully everyone is satisfied now. I’m sure you will get them over time and even more, you’re further ahead at your age in your career than I was! I think you could but it definitely depends on if you can control those spoilers, those are key to Sherlock.

I think you’re absolutely right – that if you’re confident, it’s cool. It might not be everyone’s version of cool, but hey, if it’s yours, you should wear it proudly. Nothing wrong with that. Are you a side part kind of guy and looking for some acceptance? It’s okay, Tom.

I am a guy who brushes my hair back and lets nature do as it will. It tends to fall to the right, though. My take on it is if the universe wants you to have a side part, you will have a side part. If you go for a middle part and your hair does not grow in that direction, it will not stay in place unless you use a shit ton of hair spray or styling gel.

Absolutely, your own opinion and maybe the opinion of the people closest to you. It’s not an easy industry to work in and I had my negative experiences, but at the end of the day I’m glad I left LA behind and found my little corner of the industry where I love to work. Really looks like it. They will be best little buddies! 

It really depends, it’s great to have the support of your loved ones but if you really want to do something or know in your heart it is the right thing, you shouldn’t pay no mind. It isn’t easy by any means, especially breaking into it, but we did and that’s a massive accomplishment. Are you working out of London, then? They have no choice in the matter whatsoever.

“ i totally agree with you ;  being able to bring a story to life is one of the greatest accomplishments of being an actor. from snow white to clary fray, i can’t help but smile looking back at the awesome times i had filming and portraying them. completely different characters, mind you ! changing your appearance for a role — even if it’s minor — is life altering, that’s for sure. i cannot believe a man said that to you, though ! reminds me of when i had to wear this fake pregnancy belly for ‘love rosie’ and everyone thought i was expecting. it was great seeing people’s reactions to me telling them that it was just a prop ! ”

I remember the snow white one you did, oddly enough. My niece turned it on one night while I was babysitting. It can definitely shake you up a bit, you get so caught up in these characters and bringing them to life, it’s easy to lose yourself in the process. I’ve hit a couple points in my career where I was going from one to the next and almost lost sight of myself completely because I had no time to really be myself, so when I get to that point, I take some time off to recoup. I guess it was good the bump looked real, huh? 

“ I guess so,  I think i could handle that. ”  Lizzie nodded her head lightly.  It was nice to just be able to talk for a moment without getting herself so upset. a soft smile appeared on her lips towards his comment, as she looked away for a moment. Then the younger female kept her pace up matching his.   “ I bet it was a lot, but also most rewarding in the end. you got to be that dad you always wanted to be. oh I can only imagine how excited your mom was knowing that she was getting a grandchild. that’s got to be such an exciting time… I can only imagine… though, I’m sorry the second one is a bit harder on you guys. ” She didn’t know what was going on in his life but she wasn’t going to budge him into telling her these things.  considering they were just coming back into each other’s lives. “ I hope that it gets better for you, i don’t know what you’re going through.. but yeah. ”

When he had talked about Loki coming back for another season, she figured that must be exciting considering during wandavision she was able to have a chance of the same thing, even if it was for a little bit of time. “ You are welcome, I think that it’s exciting that they are putting Loki out there more… we missed out on some cool things during the whole avenger’s era.  so hopefully they pull that together for you.  well at least I’m here now, might have taken years but here we are. ”  Elizabeth knew that she would regret asking that question, but she couldn’t help but be curious about him and what she had missed. a soft laugh escaping her lips as he bumped her shoulder. “ I was just curious, that’s all. ” she spoke before putting the coffee up to her lips.  " oh gosh, I’m so sorry I didn’t know that. that is a lot and no wonder why it’s hard— I mean I’m so sorry, that’s just got to be rough. “ she didn’t know how to come about it, her free hand slipping into her jacket pocket.  Elizabeth knew what it was like to be completely heartbroken and wish to change things for the better.  that’s when the question of some of her exes, she shook her head. ” Well there was Robbie, he was a good one, but the Rockstar life and I never fully went hand in hand. I wanted something calmer like if I ever got to that point, I wouldn’t always be so by myself — i understood in the beginning, but then I knew it wouldn’t change… so we aren’t together anymore, so there’s that. “ the blonde shrugged her shoulders. ” life kind of sucks in that way. “

“Well, she has a ten-year-old granddaughter thanks to Sarah, but I’ve always been the kid that just took to babies or younger kids, out of us three the most. She knew how much I’ve always wanted my own. It felt like my whole future was right within reach for once, beyond my career.” Tom corrected with gentle shrugs occasionally. His mind couldn’t help but wander over how things might have turned out had he not left Lizzie like the complete and utter fool he was, and part of him wanted to apologize profusely yet again, but he didn’t want to cause another argument when things seemed to be going well. “Do you see yourself becoming a mother?” Tom asked, awkwardly scratching at the fresh stubble peaking out along his jawline. He resided to giving Lizzie a gentle squeeze along the back of her forearm in response.

Who the hell are you dude? im kidding

“ Well, for the most part —  just thinking I’ve changed in good ways, compared to when everyone knew me at twenty-five, ” Elizabeth laughed slightly, before looking over at Tom with a soft smile.  Even though it was weird to have seen him now in person,  the female was glad to have the chance to just talk.. wanting to know what he had been up to for all these years.  " just me?“ she questioned, she took another drink of her coffee as it was something that was going to calm her nervousness, but then she had asked about what he had been up to since it had been so long, she followed along towards the direction of the park, listening to the older male speaking.  ” Wow, “ she murmured softly. ” it definitely sounds like you have been through a lot — like a lot, but that’s amazing on your daughter and another one on the way.“  it was shocking to realize just how much she had missed, she didn’t know what else to say. ” Also congrats on another season for Loki, I had a feeling he would be going far. “  she looked forward,  ” so, I imagine life is going good… are you and the mom of Delilah like… you know what… nevermind. it’s stupid. “ she laughed nervously, hoping he would forget she even question or not ask about it. this wasn’t her business anymore, it hadn’t been for years.

“Just means we have to get to know each other all over again,” Tom concluded with a short smile, absentmindedly reaching to squeeze her bicep. Tom met the silence with a healthy sip out of his own coffee, his free-hand sliding into a front pocket. “Just you, darlin’.” The older man confirmed, tousling a hand through his grown-out locks. Blue eyes kept a close watch to make sure Lizzie followed alongside him, careful not to naturally steer himself or bump into her, but close enough that their voices wouldn’t carry and draw attention from the small crowds surrounding them, even this late in the evening. “I know, I’ve always wanted it but I still can hardly believe it. You should’ve seen my mum’s reaction to the first, when I first told her and after the baby was just born. Second one has been hard on all of us because, well...” Tom stopped himself and shook his head to finish the thought. It really wouldn’t have been appropriate of him to go on to her about how terribly his heart had been broken by his ex-fiancee. 

task one - may moodboard - tom hiddleston

“I gave myself permission to care, because there are a lot of people in this world who are afraid of caring, who are afraid of showing they care because it’s uncool. It’s uncool to have passion. It’s so much easier to lose when you’ve shown everyone how much you don’t care if you win or lose. It’s much harder to lose when you show that you care, but you’ll never win unless you also stand to lose. I’ve said it before. Don’t be afraid of your passion, give it free reign, and be honest and work hard and it will all turn out just fine.”  

years later and elizabeth couldn’t explain it, somehow him popping back out of the blue in her life had bothered her so much, but his sincerity always seemed to break her down with the agreement of meeting each other out at the park. but it was also a good feeling that maybe eventually they would be able to get over this small little bump neither one of them really expected. As she waited out in the front of the area and she saw him approach her,  she smiled politely. “ Hey, ” the blonde spoke before taking her coffee. “  I think that I can say that’s probably one thing that has never changed, thanks. ”  Lizzie laughed lightly before taking a small sip of the coffee.   the female had hoped that things were going to go well, so they could get back… to at least semi-normal as it can get.  " So, how have you been doing? what have you been up to? “ she asked, looking over at Tom.  “ I mean other than being blown away with the multiverse of madness ?”  Lizzie teased him. ” update me about your life.“  

A church? You mean your house? No one worships and loves that character more than you do. Which is one thing I love about you. I would be more concerned about the fact that Loki is at the front talking, but you’re in the audience listening. I know you’re the same person, I’ve never seen you or Loki in the same place at once. Definitely Asgardian songs, Loki would disregard all earth religions and just force Asgardian culture on them. Or Vanessa Calton, A Thousand Miles. As long as the kids are alright, who cares about us right? But putting the kids aside, tell me about you. So you would take her back if she wanted to? Mate, I can’t imagine what you’re going through though, knowing she’s pregnant but not being able to be there for her when she’s promoting. Have you been going to all her appointments? Or does she not want you there? You could, but I do already have a guest here.

Hey, Loki and I are two separate beings. Do you believe in the Norse Gods? I definitely believe Loki is out there and looks out for me. Well, yes, if you’re attending a church dedicated to Loki, naturally you wouldn’t be doing anything that wasn’t related to Asgard... Oi! Speaking of ass... are we gonna get some ass content or what? I saw and appreciated that giant tattoo, also, mate. I’m honored. Honestly, yeah. As long as my kids are safe, happy, and healthy, I don’t care what’s going on with me. God, isn’t it amazing we both can relate to something like that now? No more of me looking at you and saying, ‘God, I wish I had that too. You’re so lucky.’ Now I can just tell you mundane stories about my kids in the bathtub and dancing while eating. Yes, I really do believe she’s my soulmate, she’s always going to be. Would you take Elsa back? She’s about five months along, if she were further and this was our first one I’d be more concerned, but once I’m back in London filming Loki, I’ll be right around the corner if she needs me.  I’ve been going to what I can, there’s no bad blood between us. She wanted to split due to how overwhelming it’s been for the public to know we’re together and how vicious people have been towards her. It’s been a lot on her to process. Fine, I’ll go stay with your stunning mother. But...a guest, huh? So...what’s her name? Are you into her? Out with it, Hemsworth.

I don’t know what I did to make you feel like you couldn’t have told me that from the beginning instead of rushing to make the break up happen before. it’s like taking care of a problem before it was one.  the worst part is you don’t know what could have happened… if you just had said something, but that’s beyond that though. now here we are, and I don’t know what to think about it. what battle is there anymore?  there is nothing to battle, it’s… just like fighting with the past, but there’s nothing you can do with it. it sounded like you thought i was there for a moment with your talking. like I would get busy and just forget. there are a lot of things i could be, but i didn’t think that. i think you are trying to rub your niceness off on me with this talk, but when you don’t try to talk someone other than in front of obviously a lot of people, then what did you think someone was supposed to think? like oh my, he wants to talk to me and he never tries to talk out of it, like.. come on. it might not have been serious enough but it was something. fine…. you can see me once before you go off, but don’t expect much, this is a fresh start sort of .  what I am thinking is something, but nothing at all , you don’t need to know. again, how frustration is adorable on me, i don’t know how… I didn’t say that exactly… but… I’ll think about it, maybe. 

I don’t know what to tell you, Lizzie. I was a lot younger and I was stupid, that’s really all there is to it. All I know is I do miss you, I’ve missed you a lot over the last several years and it’s unfortunate when I have to talk about you to the public or friends as if we’re still close and we’re not and it is completely my fault for ruining things. I really feel like I’ve been missing out on a lot of your life and your achievements and I never saw the day we wouldn’t be close, until we started dating. Lizzie, I’m not trying to be nice to you or get my own way, I’ve always been nothing but respectful of you and I’ve always had nothing but respect for you. You’re amazing. Nothing is going to change my view of you. I’ll take it, I’m still in LA. Late night walk around Grand Park? I’ll bring you a coffee. Okay, don’t tell me but I’ll figure it out. Because you’re always adorable, have you looked in a mirror? 

that’s what you said , yes. So, let me get this straight, you did that to avoid the focus for being somewhere else if I had… so you did it first instead? yeah, well that really worked out, didn’t it? I don’t understand your logic to how I even  seemed like that was possibility? did you really think I was that shallow at twenty five? we were on the same page, you just didn’t think as much into it as I did. I thought I was doing the right thing, just agreeing with you.  you say that now, but it was after all talking is a two way street. i didn’t think you wanted to talk. you kinda put it that way and i didn’t want to bother. you seemed like you had better things going on as I did… I did what I did.  there was no communication, so it was for the better even if you tried— I don’t know what I would have done.  I think you’re trying to make me see you and I’m not falling for it.  you did, but not in the best way, you just come in and mess with things just by talking to me. I was surviving and then your stupid face comes in and makes other things come into mind… things I’ve tried to forget.  so yeah, maybe I am pissed because I worked this hard for you to just be like Heey and think everything is all good. I think you’re confused on my frustrated face and my ‘heart eye’ face, that was the look of trying to be nice / frustrated.  ha, nice try with the buttering up, but you’re gonna have to work a little bit harder to get this so called sweetness with me.  yeah, like maybe way deep deep down in there.

It was a multitude of reasons, Lizzie. I thought you weren’t as into me as I was you and I thought for sure, with the way your schedule was getting taken up and mine was as well, a break-up would be inevitable. I couldn’t let myself fall anymore in love with you just to have my heart crushed. I realize I’ve went about that fear the wrong way now, believe me. I should’ve just told you how I felt and my concerns. I just figured, if we were meant to be, we’d find the way back to one another. Battle is in your hands, babe. I never once thought you were shallow, Lizzie. I thought you were sweet and funny and down-to-earth. So different from anyone I’ve ever met before. I adored you, sweetheart. I never once gave you any indication I wanted nothing to do with you, though? I knew we were committed, but not serious enough for it to be weird for me and not want anything to do with you. Of course I want to see you, I can’t remember a day I didn’t. My stupid face is making what come to mind exactly? Go on, don’t stop yourself there. Both are adorable to me, but I do miss you looking at me like I strung the stars and moon for you. Oh, so there is a chance there of forgiveness, is what I’m hearing?
