We should put together a Tom Hiddleston drinking/bingo game. Purposed spaces: Tom pets his hair, Tom adjust his neckline/collar, reference to tennis, the keyboard of human condition, the story of how he got his Ariats, “Uh, hello, it’s Tom Hiddleston,” “Hi, it’s Tom Hiddleston,” “Hey, Tom Hiddleston here,””the interesting thing about that is,” “well, actually,” and the words “skill set,“ “chords,” “humanity,” and “excavate.”

The free space in the middle can be him touching his neck.

Guaranteed ways to piss me off:

Use the phrase ‘the novel is dead’

Tell me the arts or my English major are pointless

Insist Shakespeare didn’t write his own plays

Talk about the Trojan War but do not mention Diomedes

Perpetuate the gross misinterpretation of Dionysus as a sloppy drunk party boy

its been a rough week. have this amalgam-god/gorgon holding a peacock feather and extinguishing a torch. i put a tonne of effort into that lion face and then it all kind of petered out. left up to the viewers interpretation

god amalgam sekhmet/medusa, maybe just a chimera
