temporary torchbearer

no i understand what you mean. i get that i’m still sort of classified as young but i think that the path i’m taking at the moment, a wife seems out of reach. i can’t even picture her face as i’m sitting here wondering if i should make my relationship status a priority. when i was a young teenager i remember that she always had the face of emma watson and the body of jessica alba. but now? not so much. for me, having to indulge in any sort of romantic situation just seems a bit against my bachelor lifestyle. as for you i think you need to remember that having kids in your forties is the new thirties. 30 years ago the life expectancy of the average man was what? 79 to 82? now, if you have children at the age of forty, you actually get to see them grow up. plus, who wouldn’t want little hiddlestons running around? i for one would attend their birthday parties, invited or not. 

I don’t think any of us truly realize how young we are until we’re far much older, if that makes sense. Relationships can definitely be hard to manage with our careers. We’re always working, traveling...when you’re ready to find that person to settle down with, you’ll know it and that’ll take priority and you’ll find a way to make the time. I’ve never really had celebrity crushes or an ideal woman speaking on the physical side, I tend to meet a woman and either I’m infatuated from the start, think about them constantly, or I’m just not interested at all. I think early to mid-thirites are a good time to start a family, if you have the right partner and that’s something you want. During your twenties, you’re still figuring yourself out and what you want to do with your life. It can be a lot to take on parenthood on top of that. My issue is the level of concern I have with still being able to do stuff with them as they grow, instead of being one of those parents that are always tired and never want to chase them around the yard or go on vacations with them. I want my kids to know they’re loved and I want to do things with them, I didn’t really have that experience growing up. Should it happen, you’ll be first on the invite list to the bouncy house and slip ‘n slide parties, don’t worry.

You get it! A lot of people don’t and I don’t understand why? You have this ever expanding void around us, and they just wanna stay here and not explore space? I support this! Can we get Elon to play that every time he launches a rocket? I think i rambled on about toilet paper to someone the other day for about an hour. Really? I can’t wait for season two!

I think space is beautiful but a bit scary, equally as much. Kind of like the ocean, there’s just so much undiscovered, you have no idea what’s out there or if there’s another form of life that we could have gone our whole lives without knowing about. If he’s got to go to space, he might as well do it the right way, you know. Toilet paper? That’s really funny. I would’ve loved to hear that rambling session. Oh, I’ve got to tell you, I’ve looked you up on youtube out of curiosity and watched more of your phasmophobia videos than I planned on and thoroughly enjoyed them. You and your friends made me laugh quite a bit.

As if I would ever do that to you brother. If I ever moved back to Australia I would take you with me. I’ve been busy Thomas, but I finish filming in June so I’ll be back in LA before you know it and we can make plans with the kids. I’m sure they are dying to see you. But you know you can come visit me if you have the chance, I miss that handsome British face of yours. Well if you do come visit can you bring me a knitted sweater? It’s getting cold here. You know she would be more happy to see you than she would me.

Oh My God, would you really? Second thought...I think Jess might have it out for you if you move me across the world from her. She’s filming all the time anyway, though, just like someone else I know. Too busy for me? I see, Christopher, I see. I’ll be off filming Loki in London as soon as you wrap this film, the universe really hates us for some reason, my man, they want to keep two soulmates apart so badly. The Universe and Taika, that is. We are treading into the star-crossed lovers territory at this point. I am dying to see your off-springs, please bring them and your mother to London for a week. I mean, my expertise skills lie in Easter chicks and scarves. That jumper you’re requesting is going to be awful. Can I warm you up in my loving embrace instead? It’s a lot less time and stress consuming. I’ve been in love with your mother for twelve years, do not tell me that.

Oh, believe me, I know. My two oldest are in their 20s and it only feels like yesterday they were babies.

hiddleston: hey buddy! wanted to say how much fun the bach party was again and how much fun this old man had celebrating such an amazing achievement with you. 😉

oh my that sounds hurtful… i’m sorry for that. it just sucks when your heart gets broken time after time — i’m more of the girl others fall for tho. most of the times i was the one in a relationship and had a friend falling for me. really? who is your current partner? i am currently single and honestly it’s the most fun i’ve had in quite a while, like it feels as if ever since i was a kid i’ve been going from one guy to the next one and never really had time for myself and now i do — i get to focus on myself and if i’m ever bored and want company all i have to do is look at my agenda and call someone. no, not the case but it’s nice knowing that if i needed you i could count with you. i’ll go ahead and add that quote to my resume, Loki said i’m priceless, thanks cause it means a lot. but yes, basically knowing someone would pay all that much for me made me wonder if maybe i wasn’t making a mistake by being an actress cause i could be making much more money as a stripper…

It’s my own damn fault, I don’t learn. I’m hoping I’ve found the right one, though, I’ve had more than enough lessons when it comes to relationships. Of course you’re the heartbreaker, that doesn’t surprise me, and I mean it positively. I’ve been titled that a lot but I don’t really think it’s all that true, if you’re not counting fans and journalists throwing themselves, I’ve almost always given a chance if someone has expressed interest. I’m dating Jessica Chastain currently. You’re young, you should be out experimenting and having fun. I don’t think jumping from one relationship into the next is ever a good idea - rich coming from someone who constantly strikes the iron while it’s hot, I know. - It’s healthy to process break-ups and find yourself again, you should give it at least three months to avoid bringing that pain and trauma into your new relationship and causing that other person any hurt, regardless of how affected you were by the break-up, whether you cared or not. 

It’s good to have that time to yourself, you have no limits of what you can and can’t do, and your mind isn’t running elsewhere or focused and dependent on someone else. It’s good to know yourself and all of your needs, wants, values and limits. It’s also perfectly fine for you to go out and find someone to hook-up with or go on a one-off dinner dates, I had plenty of them over the first several years I made it. I promise you, I am one of the least judgmental people you’ll come across. Go right ahead, but it doesn’t matter that I, or Loki, thinks it, it’s important that you know it yourself. I think you’ll be making more than enough money as an actress than you would as a stripper, based on the more roles you get yourself and the more your resume grows. I’m no one to tell you what you should and shouldn’t do. If you think your true passion and talent lies in being an adult performer, go for it. Just make sure you’ve got some pepper spray.

I agree with you there. Has it really been ten years? Oh, don’t even say that about them being off to uni. I don’t want them to grow up that quick. I am glad to hear you are doing okay.

No, not yet. But if there was a colonization space program, even if there was a 100% chance that I die, I’m signing up. I love space that much! Oh no, you ramble. It’s like doing live panels again. These space videos is an interactive video series. I wish there was a space game about me, that would be awesome! Hi Loki! Oh wait, sorry… Hi Tom! Maybe, but I’m pretty old too.

Oh, one hundred percent. I would drop absolutely everything to fly to space just once. Preferably with Space Oddity playing throughout the spaceship. Right, and rambling and giving long answers is a function so engrained in our brains that it’s hard to turn off. Ha, just Tom is fine, but I'll be hearing that a lot more sooner than later, we’re just about to begin shooting the second season.
