1,3,9,20 and 25 :)

Truthful Tuesday from here @amcntgomery

1. what’s the biggest pet peeve you have in regards to tumblr?

If people want you to respect your rules but don’t respect or even read yours. Jealousy towards duplicates. And callouts.

3. what’s your favorite thing about your mutuals?

That all of them are super kind and patient. As I started with rp again a few years ago it was super pushy just like I knew it from 2005 🤣 people bugging you for replies and forcing you to make them exclusives etc. I got rid of so much negativity that my dashboard is really pleasant to look at now. Everyone I have still in my list is so supportive, so kind and patient that I don’t have to feel bad anymore if I can’t write or don’t find muse (I still do but it helps to know it’s unnecessary and that people not lose interest just because you don’t answer within a day).

9. what’s your character preference?

I mostly write morally grey characters. I don’t like the typical villains or heroes, my characters need flaws. Actually a lot of them. I have a big heart for troubled minds cause I understand them the best and somehow in writing I crave mostly for male characters who are neither good or bad, but loyal to the one person they love (or their family). Often they are reckless, brutal, chaotic and possessive, but they have a very soft spot inside of their broken heart which just needs to be reached. I love to show their inner insecurities we often don’t see on screen and love to watch when they have to confront their inner struggles to grow with them. Often I miss these parts in series especially in main characters and that’s why I probably tend to write very dark but secretly soft men (I see many similarities between Rick, Negan, Tommy and Daemon for example). I created the female OC simply because I wanted to write a female character as well but I never found a female character that intrigued me that much that I wanted to write them so I created my own. More or less the female version of my twisted men haha.

20. what’s the most underrated plot?

Hm I don’t think it’s underrated but anything teacher / student or babysitter plots? 🤣 I know they are very cliche and don’t fit to my Daemon, but I really liked to write them for Rick and Negan.

25. what’s the worst rule you’ve seen on tumblr?

It’s not the rule itself that bothers me, it’s more when people have their rules and want them to be respected but don’t bother to read yours or accept them. Like I have in my rules “I don’t roleplay on discord or through ims” and then someone follows me who has in their rules “I only roleplay on discord and ims” and they ask me if we roleplay 🤣 or I say “I only rp with mutuals and only follow back when I wanna write with you” and someone who I didn’t follow back constantly sends me random “starters” to force me into rping with them when I clearly told them I’m not interested (and they also have written in their rules: please read and respect my rules. Well seems you didn’t read mine).

[myketheartista]

i think tommy and parv should hang out. bandana wearing gremlins. that is all.

I’m glad you said that! because I thought the exact same thing :) two chaotic forces who like to mess w our favorite green boys

Bonus:

[calehenituseappreciation]

Ive seen a lot of Dream (and usually Techno and Phil too) as gods au (i have one too dw) but all of you are sleeping on the funniest option.

Tommy is the god.

Tommy.

hes the only one in that galaxy (other than drista ofc)

Just imagine how fucking funny it is like 

it would be so fucking hilarious

and tommy just doesnt tell them

so techno is just there making all these blood god jokes and jokingly telling tommy to serve him and tommys just laughing

imagine a god in the form of a chaotic 16 year old racoon gremlin just walts into your land commits arson and gets banned, only to come back with another person who he helps start a nation for drugs?

imagine how fucking funny it is

just

imagine tubbo banning a literal god from his lands and he just doesnt come back? he just plays by the rules? then goes and like sits in the corner all sad because some humans/dreamons told him to leave

ranboo, just joining the server: hi-  a chaotic gremlin god: wanna commit arson with me?  ranboo, just trying to vibe and maybe not disturb this god: sure 

Phil and Ranboo recongnize Tommy as a god on sight.

Everyone else just refuses to believe it. hes Tommy. Tommyinnit. hes just weird lol

And Drista being a fucking chaotic blood god? 

drista is open about her godhood and does not hesitate to spawn blocks

Drista finds Dream and decides she likes this small human, and dream just has to deal with it lmao.

drista and tommy are both born at the same time.

Tommy is a god of music, chaos, war and theivery (the last one bc he is a BITCH)

Drista is the blood god, chaos, deception, and theatre

okay but imagine the sbi interactions... like ig in this au tommy joins at like 12/13 years of age (in their minds) so he doesnt really grow much 

and like tommy, a literal god, just claiming phil as his father???

phil, in his house making eggs, assuming one of his sons woke up and came to the kitchen, not looking: hey son  tommy, from their couch, already deciding hes phils son now: whats up dad? phil: looks up at tommy who are you tommy: idk dad, who am i  phil: *stares at tommy for a second* eh i made extra eggs you can stay 

ASJIDGASUIOG IMAGINE TOMMY TELLING THEM HES A GOD BUT THEY THINK HES JOKING AND IGNORE HIM

everyone on the server: tommy is the youngest! tommy, as old as the universe: no im not!!!! im not a child!!!! he doesnt pout because pouting is for children and hes not a child but hes pouting tubbo: lol im older than you by a month tommy dont try to hide it tommy: im not a child!!!! techno: laughs

tommy doesn't try to hide that hes a god just its tommy

thats all the evedince anyone needs to think tommy isnt a god or powerful its like mcc hes good but only when he doesnt throw for content

quackity: sees drista written in bedrock lmao drista visited? tommy: yeah! i wrote that for her!  quackity: snorts yeahhhh sureee tommy

imagine like how fucking funny it is jsut like 

a fucking chaotic god breaks into your house androbs you makes a room under your house and decides to live in your floorboards

imagine dream like trying to manipulate tommy, and tommy a fucking anchient diety immeditly recongnizes what hes doing

but decides to play along for the angst and giggles and then actually gets mad when no one fucking cares for his theatrics

tommy, storming off to technos base to rob and build under: >:///// cant believe none of them acknoledged my  deppression 

i love that tommy stills robs everyone, he doesnt need to he can spawn in anything he wants

he just does it for the sport of robbery

JAKOGFSDOH

THE HOLY LAND

dream: im god actually tommy: thats so fucking funny lets make a cult about that :)  dream: see! look! im god! and jesus!  tommy: wheezing

imagine tommy getting stressed and letting go of his mortal form

Tommy, his human form peeling away, showing his actual form a bit: WH̸͘A͠T̷ ̶̢T͞H͢E ̡͘F̴̵͘Ù̧C͜K҉ ̶T͘͜͞E͟CHǸ͏Ǫ  Techno: HAH?

tommy just saw tubbo and got emotionally attached

Tommy, a literal god: hello Tubbo: oh hi do you like my pet bee? Tommy: you’re mine now Tubbo: im okay with this

tommy, a bored god: gives techno shapeshifting powers  techno, not even caring: changes into more human to pig-ishg forms as he wishes this is my life now ig 

phil lets tommy do fuck all in exile bc he knows hes a god hes fine

phil: IDC IF YOURE A GOD! YOU WILL DO THE DISHES NOW YOUNG MAN! tommy: grumbles but does them

phil is the only one who can control tommy

god... tommy... with star freckles... on his human form... (as well as his god one)

tommy: f̷͛͠a̵̋t̵̒̑h̸̚e̶̓͝r̸͊ ̸̐̒i̴ ̸̅̿d̷̉͆o̵͂͋ ̵̛̆ñ̸̾ő̶́t̸̎́ w̶͆͘i̴͠s̵̓̈́h̸͗́ ̵̯͗f̶͋́ő̴͑r̷̐̌ ̶͝é̵̽g̸͊͂g̵̒s̷͂̃  phil: idc, eat your goddamn eggs tommy: pouts

tommy, despite being able to get supplies himself by fucking spawning them in: hey tubbo? we need supplies 

In this au ig like if a god claims you you get a mark on your skin showing that. Drista’s would be like a green crown, Tommys would be a red and white disk (white as the outer ring and red as the center) (its different enough that if you don’t realise tommy is a god you wouldnt realise whos it is) (schlatt is the only one who never had one which shoulda been a sign dude :/)

Dream has two from the beginning, everyone else has only one, well until they meet drista. (sbi have had one since they met tommy, though they dont remember the first time they met tommy)

wait what if tommy like found them all as children one by one and later kinda pulled some strings to get them all in one kingdom. (he still joined sbi through forcing phil to adopt him) 

OKAY BUT IMAGINE IF TOMMY MET TECHNO WHEN TECHNO WAS YOUNG ENOUGH TO NOT REMEMBER

tommy would hang out with baby techno and tell him stories

once he told him the story of a man named thesus

another time he told him the story of a blood god

like for example tommys first time meeting techno would be like

(for context techno lived in a shitty village and was an orphan and it was kinda a dog eat dog place, he learned how to be strong because of it)(he was young enough that he doesn’t remember this well, just like learning about the blood god and someone giving him gold)

baby techno: sighs tommy, appearing out of nowhere: oh heyyy whyre you sad? techno: jumps turning around with a knife up ready for a fight who are you tommy: im tommy! :) techno: what do you want from me! you dont scare me! tommy: whats your name! techno: i have a knife! i'll use it! tommy: of course, thats a given, but its rude not to tell people your name techno, confused: t-technoblade? tommy: smiles thats a nice name techno: so. tommy: hm? techno: why're you here tommy: i don't have a reason. im just a traveller! techno: then why hole to this terrible village! theres nothing nice here! everyone is terrible and so are you! tommy: hmmmm i dont agree techno: what are you? a child? i thought adults were supposed to know that everyone is mean tommy: mmhmm looks at the bruise on technos face where'd you get that? techno: fight. i won. i'll win against you too! so don't try anything. tommy: of course. i would never win in a fight against a blood god techno, putting down his knife a bit, stars in his eyes: blood god? tommy: grins blood. god. i think she'd like you. techno, muttering: maybe i can give the blood god some of your blood tommy: laughs yeah, she'd defenitly find you intresting tommy: here tosses techno a golden crown at techno, he spawned it in in the moment techno: whats this? tommy: a crown, thought it suit you screams in the distance tommy: huh. i need to go. have fun lil piglin. ruffles technos hair before running off towards the screaming unbeknownst to the pig the blood god was actually the one waiting for the god he met. techno: stares at the crown 

Techno found a pouch of gold in his ‘house�� later that day. he didnt know who left it but it helped him get food for that night. (he kept the crown)

okay but imagine tommy not taking the war seriously at all, and only seeing it as a squabble between mortals, Like toddlers fighting

dream: SURENDER BY TOMMOROW OR WE'LL DECLARE WAR! wilbur: FUCK YOU WE'LL NEVER SURENDER AND JOIN YOUR SMP! Tommy: how cute

tommy doesnt realise that theyre serious until wilbur dies

tommy would usually go apeshit against anyone who dares messes with his humans, but what is he supposed to do when his humans are fighting Eachother?

wilbur: fucking goes insane and dies  tommy: hey- hey can you guys let me talk to wil for a sec? everyone else leaves tommy, unsually somber: sorry i didnt help you i forgot how easily breakable mortals are tommy: this time you wont die, and i'll make it so that you dont break again, okay? tommy: brings wilburs soul out of its body and enters his mindscape ghostbur: wakes up what- where am i? tommy: hi there ghostbur: who are you tommy: i go by a lot of names all, one, you, the world, the universe, god, but you can just call me tommy ghostbur: oh okay. who am i? tommy: you're name was wilbur soot. you were the son of philza minecraft and brother to Technoblade, Tubbo and myself. ghostbur: was? tommy: well you see, you died. ghostbur: oh... well what am i then? tommy: a ghost! well actually its your choice. would you like to continue your existance or fade away with your body? ghostbur: i dont want to fade away! tommy: smiles thats what i thought you'd say stretches his hand to wilbur ghostbur: grabs tommy hand tommy: lets go home

ghostbur doesnt remember that though

he only remembers the good

tommy wont let him remember the bad, what if he breaks again? mortals are so fragile

phil realises what tommy did as soon as he sees ghostbur 

drista, painting tommys nails (there both in god form btw) (after wilburs death btw): tommy shouldn't you of all gods realise how fragile they are?  tommy: i know just... forgot  drista: sighs and nods i get what you mean, especially with the ones we found... they act a lot like gods sometimes i forgot they arent  tommy: ikr? wait- drista here gets drista's hair out of her face you were gonna get it on my nails, anyways, don't judge me. we all know if dream died you would turn him into a ghost too drista: smirks not if you do it first, we all know you would tommy: you say that as if you wouldn't fight me to do it first  drista: .... tommy: ... drista: both of us when he dies? tommy: nods tommy: anyways my turn to do your nails 

or like tommy with ghostbur like

ghostbur: i don't like this :( tommy, a worried brother and god: whats wrong? ghostbur: everyone is mad at me and i d-dont know why- why are they mad at me tommy: theyre mad at something alivebur did ghostbur: b-but im not alivebur sniffs it hurts. i dont like it. tommy: spawns in some blue here ghostbur: whats that? tommy: its some blue! it'll help you not hurt anymore! ghostbur: how does it work? tommy: see how its blue? ghostbur: nods tommy: well its blue because it sucks up all the bad feelings! it'll help ghostbur: !!!!! ghostbur: presses the blue into his chest ghostbur: !!!!its working!!!! :D tommy: smiles good

wilbur fucking died and tommy went from annoying little brother to caring older brother

tommy just wants to help his brother :) though he doesnt realise that not letting ghostbur remember bad memories isnt good

*at logsted shire btw* ghostbur: who are you? tommy, chuckling: did you forget me already ghostbur? ghostbur: i didnt forget you! i think! you're tommy! i just... you're different tommy, looks over at ghostbur: different how? ghostbur: you're not normal are you? tommy: grins whaaaaat? you think im weirdddd? how heartbreaking... my own brother thinks im weird, this is terrible ghostbur: giggles tommy: but really, don't worry about it bur. ghostbur: you sure? tommy: yeah, dont worry about me ghostbur: smiles okay! do you want some blue anyways? tommy: giggles sure! ghostbur: grins

ghostbur isnt worried about tommy

he knows hes strong

phil having to tell tommy that he cant just not let wilbur remember the bad memories

and tommys like "what if he breaks again!" and phil hugs him and tells him to at least ask ghostbur if he wants to remember and tommys like ‘fine’

tommy: hey bur? ghostbur: yeah? tommy: do you like you're memories? ghostbur: i mean, yeah its hard not to when you only remember the good tommy, quietly: would you want to remember the bad? ghostbur: w-what brought this question on tommy: answer the question ghostbur: no- alivebur was badi shouldn't want to- tommy: but what do you want bur? wilbur, silent for a moment: yeah- yeah i do. not that i like the bad memories! they hurt... but i wish i could remember tommy: ... ghostbur: hey tommy? tommy: yeah? ghostbur, with tears in his eyes: do you think they'd be less mad at me if i could remember, maybe then i could repair my relationships, what the hell am i supposed to do when i dont even remember hurting them? tommy: what if they dont? what if you break again? ghostbur, saltily: we'll maybe i'll be able at least be able to say i know why everyone hates me tommy: i know how to get all of your memories back ghostbur, looks towards tommy in shock: you do??? tommy: nods ghostbur, voice wavering: for how long tommy: since the beginning ghostbur: and you didnt tell me tommy: i did what i thought was best. i just didnt want you to hurt anymore. ghostbur, angrily: WELL THAT CLEARLY WORKED DIDNT IT? tommy: sorry wilbur, sometimes i forget how to handle humans ghostbur: what- tommy: sighs and taps ghostbur on the forehead and ghostbur does the ghost equivilent of passing out tommy: wont hide any memories this time

ghostbur doesnt wake up, instead wilbur wakes up weither thats good or bad we'll see

wilbur, waking up with all his memories: HOLY SHIT TOMMY WASN'T KIDDING phil, who was reading beside the bed tommy placed wilbur into, which was in technos house. yes he broke into technos house with a passed out wilbur. move on.: hm? wilbur: holy shit phil: huh? yeah. wilbur: wait you knew? phil: yeah i recongnized him as soon as i saw him about 5 years ago now? wilbur: excuse me while i freak out because my little brother is an actual god

it really hits wilbur that tommy is a god later

wilbur: hey tommy? tommy: yeah? wilbur: how fucking old are you? tommy: snorts of course thats the first thing you ask wilbur: well? tommy: i dont really know the exact years since years are kind of a human thing that were invented recently wilbur: they were invented thousands of years ago- tommy: but it was around the beginning of this galaxy wilbur, softly: what the fuck

tommy telling wilbur stories about different heros and villains and different humans he met during his life.

Adsjbffsg what if Tommy made himself blonde and blue eyed and white bc thats hyow the first human he met looked like asjfhsd

and just didnt change that, despite meeting new humans, its just his defult settings.

he would totally do this tho im crying.

drista just based her human form off dream because she is his sister now. he must deal with this. trying disowning me when i look like you BITCH.

thats my take anyways later might continue this

Tom Hiddleston Filmography - A Review

A list of everything Tom Hiddleston has been in, according to IMDB, and I will be watching each one and reviewing it here! A lot of his stuff was super obscure, and he did lots of shorts, so I have excluded those. I also do not include voice acting, only live action.

1) Loki (2021) Disney+

I'm actually only on episode four, so I don't have a thorough review, but so far it's so good. Love Loki, but something feels weird. Maybe bc I prefer him as Thor Loki, all dressed in his robes and shit, but I still think it's really good. 10/10 Tom Hiddleston overall. 9/10 show.

Alright, after finishing the show and analyzing it, I would like to change my rating to 5/10. 10/10 Tom. Tom is always great, it wasn't his fault how Loki was portrayed here and he did well with what he got. Now, the show? Ass. Like, the whole Sylki thing was meh, boring to give him a female love interest when he's canonically bi, but also the self incest? Fucking weird. His outfit? Trash, put him in his fucking Loki robes. Mobius, man, you coulda been good, but here you are torturing and insulting Loki just like everyone else. Loki just needs someone who shows him true and genuine care and trust. Not whatever the fuck Mobius and Sylvie was doing. This show was not about Loki Loki, it was about Sylvie

2) Avengers: Endgame (2019) Disney+

Need to re-watch, but such a good movie. Tragic, devastating, but so good. 10/10.

3) Leading Lady Parts (2018) (I forgot to remove this)

4) Avengers: Infinity War (2018) Disney+

Again, need to re-watch but 10/10.

5) Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Disney+

Pretty sure this is everyone's favorite Thor movie, and I agree. So fucking good. I need to re-watch it, but it gets an 11/10.

6) Kong: Skull Island (2017) HBO Max

7) The Night Manager (2016) Amazon Prime Video

8) Crimson Peak (2015) Netflix

Shame about the incest. But I enjoyed this movie a lot. I love him in this time period, lawd. I don't really care for the female lead, I don't remember her name but she irks me for no reason. But Tom? Damn, damn, damn. 9/10. Sorry, the incest cost this a point.

9) High-Rise (2015) Amazon Prime Channels

Hm. Um. Hm. So, I get the point of the movie, capitalism sucks, the high levels looking down at the low levels, chaos happens but everyone is still stuck in the capitalist system (the high-rise) and yeah. Maybe I’m just simple-minded, but it wasn’t my favorite movie lol. It was so chaotic, abstract, and dystopian and I’m just not into movies like that. But, for what it was, I think it was good and an interesting symbolism for capitalism. It was just fucking wild. You really gotta use big brain energy to follow and keep up with the metaphors, but it was good. Tommy boy always looking like a snack, we see his badonky, love that. He did really well, I think he captured the essence of the film and portrayed the emotions and character well. 10/10 Tom, 7/10 movie. Also, love to see Bard--I mean, Luke Evans. Love him.

10) I Saw the Light (2015) Amazon Buy or Rent

11) Muppets Most Wanted (2014) Amazon Buy or Rent

I have seen this movie, but I couldn't tell you a thing about it and honestly, I don't care enough about the Muppets to buy it. I'm sure it was good, but who knows.

12) Coriolanus (2014) ?

13) Thor: The Dark World (2013) Disney+

Need to re-watch. Everyone's least favorite Thor movie, but honestly, I loved it. I love all Marvel movies and didn't think this was bad at all.

14) Exhibition (2013) Amazon Buy or Rent

15) Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) Amazon Buy or Rent

16) Friend Request Pending (2012) Amazon Buy or Rent

17) The Hollow Crown (2012) Amazon Buy

18) The Avengers (2012) Disney+

The OG, love love love. Everything about this movie is wonderful. God I love Loki.

19) War Horse (2011) HBO Max

20) The Deep Blue Sea (2011) AMC+ (Amazon)

Hm, interesting. I liked it, Tom Hiddleston is so fantastic. He really showed a range of acting skill here and it was so good. The raw emotions he showcased and just those little facial expressions really made this incredible. We do get to see some badonky, that’s always a plus. His skin is so smooth and looks so soft...but anyway, his acting ability is just so amazing, I love him so much. 10/10 Tom, 7/10 movie.

21) Midnight in Paris (2011) IMDB TV (Amazon)

22) Thor (2011) Disney+

Great, fantastic, wonderful, breathtaking. Lovely movie.

26) Unrelated (2007) Amazon Buy or Rent

27) Suburban Shootout (2006-2007) DVD

28) Miss Austen Regrets (2007) DVD (or BritBox - Amazon)

Aww, Tom is such a cutie in this movie!! Young babyyyyyyyyy. Great movie, I love period pieces, especially Jane Austen stories so this was good! He was really good in this role, I want more of him in historical pieces!! Not a lot of screen time tho, shame.

Thomas Shelby~Waiting For You

You don’t know how long you sat there, waiting up for him, but it was longer that you cared to admit. Part of you questioned why you were even here at all: it wasn’t like the two of you were together. However, Tommy… Tommy meant a lot to you, and had since you had met him.

         The two of you hit off it immediately, and had drunk together for the whole night the first time you met the infamous Thomas Shelby. Of course, you didn’t know he was he the Thomas Shelby: he’d only introduced himself as Tommy so that’s all you knew him as. He later had to tell you of course- it was somewhat unavoidable.

         It didn’t change anything, though.

         You were still enamoured. It wasn’t very difficult: it seemed everyone woman was enchanted with him. That was a sore spot for you, but you didn’t bring it up, not when it could change everything.

         You gazed up at the clock. It had gone midnight; Thomas had promised that he’d be back at the latest half eleven. Why did you have to care about him? To worry about him? You could guarantee that you’d get much more sleep if you didn’t care about him so much… If you didn’t love him.

         “Christ Y/N,” Polly murmurs as she walks into the kitchen.

         You jump at her voice, not expecting anyone else to still be up. She wanders over to the kettle and begins refilling it with fresh water.

         “What are you still doing up?” she asks, placing the kettle on the stove and lightly flicking on the fire.

         “I’m…” you sigh, knowing that she’s definitely going to pity you for it.

         “You waiting up for him again, really Y/N?” Polly chuckles, shaking her head lightly.

         “I can’t sleep knowing he’s out there,” you murmur before laughing, “Bet I sound pathetic, don’t I?”

         “You sound like you’re in love,” she chimes.

         The kettle goes off interrupting your counter point. She pours you and herself a cup of tea and sits opposite you. You avoid her gaze because Polly has always been far too perceptive of what you’ve been thinking and you don’t want her to know how truly bad you have it for Thomas. But she already knows.

         “So, you’re in love with him then?”

         “Pol… I don’t know,” you reply, only partially lying, “How… How am I meant to love a man that doesn’t see me as anything more than a friend?”

         She lights up, and shakes her head slightly.

         “Stranger things have happened.”

         “Yeah like me having a heart to heart with the tough, fearsome Polly Shelby,” you laugh and she laughs with you.

         Polly finishes her cup of tea and her cigarette.

         “I’m going to bed. Don’t be too late- you’ll just end up tired,” she warns you.

         You nod.

         “Night Pol.”

         She disappears upstairs and you sigh. Polly is right: in fact, you’re not sure she’s ever been wrong when it came to your personal life. She always had the best advice- so why weren’t you following it? You finished your cup of tea and move to the sink to wash up your cup. Just as you finish rinsing it, a loud knock at the door startled you.

         You all but run to the door.

         “Tommy?” you ask, confused as to why he didn’t just use his key.

         Then you look more closely and realise he’s drunk: very drunk. He had a content smile on his face, one that you rarely see. Even in this state, he still looks handsome as ever.

         “Shit, you’re a bit drunk, aren’t you?” you laugh, stepping aside so he could get in.

         “Hm, I’ve missed you,” he murmurs.

         “Have you now?” you laugh again.

         You pour him a drink of water, and put it down on the table. Pulling out a chair, you gesture at him to sit down. He complies, somewhat messily.

         “What happened to being back by half eleven, eh?” you ask, “Had me worried sick.”

         Tommy frowns.

         “Didn’t mean to worry you,” he replies, “There was a fight at the Garrison.”

         “Was anyone hurt?”

         “Not really. I won.”

         “Against who? Why were you fighting?” you question him, “Swear to god, if it’s a male ego thing I’m going to be very disappointed.”

         “I had to defend you,” Tommy explains, “Didn’t like what someone was saying ‘bout you so I shut them up.”

         “You don’t need to go about getting in fights for me, Tommy,” you smile, “It’ll ruin your pretty face.”

         “Think I’m pretty do ya?”

         “The prettiest,” you tell him.

         He smiles again. You look down and notice he’s all but finished the drink of water. Good, hopefully he’ll feel a little bit less like death in the morning.

         “Let’s get up to bed, yeah?”

         Tommy nods.

         You guide him upstairs and to his room. He falls on the bed almost immediately and it makes you happy to see him so care free- definitely not the usual expression for Thomas Shelby. No, he was a hardened gangster that had a chaotic, violent life and didn’t feel anything. This… This Tommy was so much better.

         “You can’t go to sleep like that, Tommy,” you say, reaching to take off his jacket.

         Tommy vaguely responds, sitting up so that you could remove his jacket. Next, you remove his shoes and socks.

         “You trying seduce me, Y/N?” Tommy asks, a smirk on his face, “Trying to get into my bed?”

         “If I wanted to seduce you, you’d be taking off my clothes not the other way round,” you roll your eyes, “And, I certainly would want you conscious when I seduce you.”

         “And when is that going to happen?”

         You cough and seemingly choke on air. After a second, you catch your breath. You get up and go to the bathroom, where you pour yourself a glass of water. It soothes your throat. Glancing up in the mirror, you see how flustered Tommy has made you. You breathe in and then return to Tommy.

         “Do I always take your breath away, Y/N?”

         “Oh shut up, Tommy,” you retort.

         You now notice that he’s also removed his suspenders, his trousers and his shirt, leaving him in just his underwear and his t shirt. You try not to stare at him, but it’s hard. As you avoid his eyes, you see his hands: his knuckles are bloodied. Probably from the fight.

         “Tommy,” you murmur, and reach for his hand, “Doesn’t this hurt?”

         “The drink helps.”

         “Right,” you note, “Let me just get my kit and I’ll bandage them. Otherwise they’ll get infected.”

         “Playing nurse are we?”

         “Sure, Tommy.”

         You return shortly with some bandages and some concentrated alcohol to clean the open wound. Without a word, you reach for his hand. Gently, you wipe it over with an alcohol soaked tissue. Tommy winces and you apologise under your breath. Then, you wrap his knuckles in the bandage. Tommy couldn’t help but notice how gentle you were being; there weren’t many people in his life like you, not many who were this gentle, this kind. He wasn’t used to this kindness. The longer he could feel the touch, the more he found himself staring. You looked beautiful.

         “Thank you,” Tommy says.

         You smile and assure him it’s no problem.

         Now, it is time for sleep. It was so late now and you were tired from waiting up for him this whole time. You try to get up from the bed to wish him a good night and go back to your room, but Tommy stops you.

         “Stay,” Tommy pleads.

         It probably wasn’t a good idea: he was drunk. He didn’t actually want you to stay, he just wanted company because he was lonely and drunk. But, with all that in mind, you can’t help but want to stay.

         So you do.

         “Okay,” you reply, “Just look the other way while I change, okay?”

         You get him to face the wall, while you go to the opposite corner of the room. You remove the layers of your clothing until you are just left in your slip dress. Suddenly, even though you have agreed to this, you feel very exposed and vulnerable. When you turn around, you notice Tommy looking at you out of the corner of his eye. But, you only catch it for a brief second so you can’t be sure.

         Swiftly, you climb under the sheets and he joins you.

         “I’m going to turn off the light okay?”

         You blow out the lamp beside your side of the bed, and he does the same. It’s very dark, but you’re somehow more relaxed now. Even facing away from him, you can still feel his warmth. You feel him shuffle towards you and your body reacts similarly until you’re both touching.

         “Goodnight, Y/N. Love you.”

         He wraps an arm over you and pulls you closer. You sigh. You probably know this is only temporary: he’ll forget about this in the morning, or he doesn't mean it like that. At that moment, however, you don’t care. You savour the moment.

         You smile and close your eyes.

         “Night, Tommy. I love you too.”
