Tom Hiddleston Fan - Tumblr Posts

slowly disintegrate into ash

I know this is an old one, but here’s my articulate take on it anyway:

And I'm all like:

Okay, I definitely ASPIRE to be a "True Fan" of Tom Hiddleston.  (Is that anything like Stan Lee's "True Believers?")  I really do - it would be me being my very best self.  It might make both Oprah Winfrey AND Tom Hiddleston proud.  Let's take a deeper look at the 'qualifications':  

"If you respect his privacy."  I am currently respecting his privacy.  Geographic distance, time constraints and finances already take care of most of that.

"If you like his talent before everything else." Hmmm.  Better look up the word 'before' - and then decide which definition to use.  I am assuming that in this context, 'before' is a preposition, and I'm gonna go with the Mirriam-Webster definition stating, "preceding (someone or something) in order or in a series."  Let's face it, I noticed Tom's appearance first, then got to know & appreciate his talent - I think many Hiddlestoners have a similar experience.  If I am thinking in terms of the definition related to "hierarchy of importance," technically I still can’t say I fit the bill. I have to admit that since I saw his appearance first, that still ranks just slightly above everything else.  If he suddenly became much lower on society’s scale of hotness, I’m pretty sure I’d still like him.  He's not just a pretty face & hot bod - there's plenty of that out there by itself, but Tom's got it ALL.  Which leads to the following -

"If you appreciate his personality."  Heck, yeah.  However I can only appreciate what he chooses to reveal.  I think his public persona is as close to the real man that we're ever going to get, and I believe it is an honest persona - how else would he be?  The way he is with children, his responses in interviews, the laughter, the dancing, his good advice, his whole outlook - we could all go on forever on this one.

"If you love what he does and no matter his choices and his life." - Well now, I don’t think this is related to “true fandom” of anything at all.  I don’t always love what I do, and I don’t always love my choices and my life - but I am still one of MY biggest “true fans.”

I still believe I am a true fan.  Maybe these standards are impossibly high.  Maybe we should look at other things in life through a partiality of this lens.  Maybe I agree with thingsIdidn’tknowareerotic’s Theory of Latent Hotness.  Regardless, I fell down the rabbit hole of Hiddlestoning well over a year ago, and I’ve no reason to regret that happy, happy, serendipitous series of events.

May we all be so fortunate.
