‘Hey!’
Action figure of Tom, replicating the Centrum Ad.
After posting the first Oneshot inspired by Toms commercial that nearly killed us all I got another request from @disneyoncerlover815 to do another version of it. I might have went a bit overboard...I hope you don´t mind ;)

Living The Dream...
Tom had been back since yesterday evening after a tiring leg of filming. You knew that the first days after getting home were a bit tricky for him. Especially when he had worked in a different time zone. So, you were not overly surprised when you woke up to an empty bed next to you. It was still very dark and the clock told you that it was 2 in the morning. Sometimes you thought it was strange that you slept through when Tom was not home but woke up when he was and had left the bed in strange hours of the night.
Tom was no different, the both of you seemed to have some kind of connection that went into alarm mode when the other half of your heart was not as nearby as you´d like. Sitting up in bed you stretched a little and saw Bobby lift his head from his bed in his favourite corner of the room.
“Go back to sleep Bobby, I´ll just take a look where Tom is”
Bobby huffed as if he wanted to say -Silly humans, don´t wake me up when you go wander around the house in the middle of the night-
Grabbing Toms discarded T shirt you put it on, not because you were uncomfortable to walk around the house totally naked but you had made a habit of stealing his shirts when he was home. Tom didn´t mind, actually he was quite happy that you liked to be engulfed by his scent and liked to have him near, even if it only was his shirt that hugged you now.
Slowly walking down the stairs you strain your ears to listen where Tom might be and hear a soft thud of a cabinet being closed in the kitchen. Smiling a little you continued forward and where thankful for the build in night lights at the staircase and the soft glow coming out of the kitchen. You weren’t in any need to turn on the big lights that way. Slowly coming around the corner, you had to stifle a laugh.
I get if some people dont like Tom's centrum commercial.
But for heavens sake stop saying his career is over. Its bs and plain ignorance to think that his career is shot just because he made a vitamin commercial which wasn't even offensive. I've seen actors star in some shitty misogynistic, stereotypical ads and no one bats an eye. Like seriously people need to lighten up a little. People in Hollywood need to freaking chill!
I watched the Centrum ad some days ago and I thought it’s cute and it’s going to make lots of fans happy. Then I moved on. I came back to my dash to see a whole discourse going on about the ad being “creepy” and “cringe worthy” and I was like how exactly people managed to find that creepy? There was also a case of cyber bullying which made me go on a blocking spree, but before I block those people I read their points and I’m just...baffled.
First, let’s talk about the target market. There are different types of segmentation in marketing including geographic and demographic. So unless you’re a Chinese woman, the ad is not targeted at you. It’s not made for you and your idea of it is irrelevant to its purpose. Considering it’s very well received for its targeted audience then it was a success. And no, Tom didn’t have to make an international ad so everyone could enjoy it. He doesn’t owe anyone anything. This argument is basically saying why they didn’t make an ad to fulfill my own version of self-insert fanfiction! The ad is a self-insert fanfiction and it is cheesy but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. And I’m saying this as an Asian who doesn’t exactly like cheesy romances. What you see in the ad to many Asian cultures is not creepy, awkward, or being a fake gentleman. It’s perfectly romantic and shows how much a man cares for and love a woman.
Tom’s acting wasn’t good? Well what did you expect? A Shakespearean performance for an ad? It’s an ad. Not a theatrical masterpiece and it doesn’t need such a performance and Tom certainly doesn’t have to put so much effort for acting it.
And no. It’s not going to ruin his career. What matters for his carrier is how he acts in things that matter like all the reviews praising him for his outstanding performance in Betrayal. What ad he chooses to star in or who he is dating doesn’t ruin his career. He didn’t do anything wrong or didn’t hurt anyone by acting in the ad. But he was the target of cruel bullying by media and people in the recent years. He was criticized unfairly for every unimportant and private matter in his life. And people wonder why he looks more reserved these days. They shamed him for his impressions, who he chose to date, his cloths and looks, and for who he was, a kind and honest person who says what’s in his heart. There’s a saying in my language: “With friends like this, they don’t need an enemy”. And it really applies to this situation. With these so-called fans, Tom doesn’t need an enemy.
"The world might not be ready for the kind of earnestness and sincerity that comes along with Tom Hiddleston. I am here to tell you that we would be a much happier race of humans if it were."

Today more than ever, it seems many people in the western world, and especially in his homeland, are still not ready. Shame on them.
So am I like one of the only Hiddleston fans that LOVES the ad but acknowledges (when I decide to stop squealing into my pillows) that it’s bloody awkward?
Because he’s darling and it was a fanfic-to-life but it’s awkward; he’s awkward. He’s six foot two inches of adorable awkward with fluffy orange lion-mane in that ad. We all need to acknowledge that it was awkward. Cute, and considerate, but. . . um. . .
Yeah. It was awkward and edging on somewhat nervous/anxious.
It has nothing to do with Western culture or whatever or anything. If it was an American ad it would still be awkward. If it was a British ad it would be awkward. If it was a German ad it would be awkward. There’s no country that would un-awkwardize it. It’s just like that. Also (to my knowledge) he’s never addressed the camera as if it were a person he’s suggestively intimate with. So that’s a whole new level of awkward because he has to try to legitimately “make love to the camera”.
BUT IT IS STILL ADORABLE.
I just think we all need to acknowledge and admit to ourselves that it was rather [endearingly] awkward.
