Hello. I read your tags on the post with pictures of Tom and Chris interview and you said that you feel bad for Tom. Why? Ahhh sorry if it sounds weird, I don’t know much about actors and am just curious and worried now. Thanks in advance.

No worries. It has to do with the apparent crush/sexual tension between Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth which led some of their fans to start shipping them under the name “Hiddlesworth.” It used to seem that the attraction was mutual, even if Tom always seemed more attracted to Chris than vice versa, but recently (during the filming and promotion of Ragnarok) it’s seemed completely unrequited. Tom still seems to fawn over Chris, gush about how wonderful he is, give him puppy eyes when they’re together, etc.; but Chris seems to be distancing himself from Tom (especially now that Chris and Taika are joined at the hip), acting somewhat cold and dismissive toward him. I don’t know what happened, if anything, but I’m not the only one who’s made this observation. I feel bad for Tom that he seems to be the only one still in that relationship, whether crush or bromance, and I honestly think it’s kind of ridiculous that the asymmetry should go in that direction, considering that, as far as I can see, Tom is much more intelligent and talented, including as an actor.

Can I ask you why you have a bad feeling about Hiddlesworth lately? It’s been a while since I really followed Chris’ and Tom’s relationship so I’m a bit confused. Hope you don’t mind me asking this!

thoresque:

hey there! sorry for the late response – i was away from a computer for four days, and i hate the mobile app for answering asks (among other things), so i wanted to wait until i was at an actual ‘puter again

to answer your question though, it doesn’t feel like chris and tom are as close as they once were. tom looked eager to jump back into that close, synergistic relationship they had during thor 1, avengers and dark world (i mean who could forget that time tom sang dankeschön to chris?). 

but during ragnarok filming, there was a noticeable absence of that affection from chris, who seemed to have been kind of standoffish a lot of the time, with the exception of when they did ragnarok interviews together (which were too few, imo)

when they were filming ragnarok tom was kind of touchy-feely:

and you got a very real sense that he wanted to follow chris around like a lovesick puppy:

then there was the instagram post tom made:

like that’s. yeah. it just…it all feels so one-sided

but that’s why i’ve been feeling like hiddlesworth is winding down :/

Tom deserves better.
