All Good Things Come To An End

All Good Things Come To An End

Last weekend of Betrayal

All things end, but they will remain alive in our memories. The other day Tom was given a portrait of himself to be added on the wall among many other great artists of Broadway's history. Something that he and we all can be very proud of! Tom, you totally deserve this! And yes I'm sure your foster father on the wall agrees that there's room for you on the wall!
💙💓

He wrote the most lovely words on his official IG:

Something in a completely different angle, but for me December also is one that brings closure to something that had a huge part of my life the past 6 years. Namely the work I'm doing at the library. The end of a year actually is the best time to end certain periods of your life, so that you'll start the new year fresh, with new adventures in sight. To stay in the spiritual touch, the year 2020 is all about making choices (2019 was the year of speaking) so actually, by making the big choice in 2019, I'm ahead of time!

It's time for something else. Of course being surrounded by books is no punishment, but sort of speak I want to see it from the other side. I love to write and it's my dream to do something more with that! 💙😊 I say this a lot: Stay positive, keep believing in your dreams to keep them alive! (I'm not going to dig deeper on this subject in this blogpost as I already did that in the following blogs for example Think Purple, Think Positive and Dream, Do, Believe, but I'm planning to give this some more words in my next blogpost that has 'music' as a main subject.)

I would like to add a few extra words to Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Cox, Zawe Ashton, Eddie Arnold, Jamie Lloyd and all who are deeply involved with creating the wonderful Betrayal Broadway: After the last performance of Betrayal, you're able to look back at one of the most beautiful experiences of your life, an experience its ending has a high chance of creating the following result: Tears, lots of tears! Oh, they will come, definitely! But let them come, those emotions say how beautiful the journey has been and they will help with the closure. I wish you all a beautiful closure of Betrayal Broadway that you can carry always with you in your hearts 💕!

I've already talked about how ending things in your life is necessary to make room for new things in your life. Things come and at some point they will come to an end. Tom Hiddleston's project of 2020 is all about the Loki Series for Disney+, something many, many of us can't wait for! I‘m already bouncing up and down of excitement for this! So yeah, I say: Let 2020 come!

Lots of love,

xx

Tom & Charlie change character for Halloween

Tom as Daredevil, Charlie as Loki

A few days for Halloween it got announced: A Halloween surprise at Betrayal's Stage door. Zawe Ashton, holding a camera, asked the two men what they would wear. It was a surprise. Then the speculation begun: "What will Tom wear for Halloween?"

In the comments I saw a lot passing by with two on the lead:
- Loki
- Anything Shakespeare related

But...

He came out as Daredevil and Charlie was wearing a Loki costume! Which means Tom & Charlie basically switched characters, a lovely gesture if you ask me! Zawe was dressed as Captain Marvel & Eddie Arnold was Captain America

My Loki funkopop had a original costume too..

Think purple, think positive!

Think purple, think positive!

Purple, the colour of spirituality, the colour of passion, inspiration and fantasy. Purple, a sensitive colour but also a magical one. Purple, the colour born from mixing red and blue. The colour of freedom. The colour of the crown-chakra and also a different shade belongs to the third-eye (I‘m not offended if you have lost me here..) The colour of equality. Shortly said: it's a lovely, feminine inspiring colour to use for writing! You can give a colour a lot of meanings, but if you love and appreciate it, it's one of your personal colours of your life. 

It‘s quite a simple picture, a purple pen resting on a small notebook that has nothing more written on than a date. I could have just left it there without sharing my thoughts about the colour purple. That surely had made the picture less interesting or better said: pointless. But I didn't because one thing I‘m succeeding in doing much more often lately is focusing on the positive things. You can find those positives everywhere, in every small thing, even such small as a pen. And in certain circumstances the negative thoughts have found their way to you earlier, but you‘re the controller, you‘re the boss! Control them, turn on the switch. Ask yourself these questions and let your mind do the rest: How does this thought/situation make me feel? And how can I change it into a positive thing? And let go! There‘s no negativity written in this notebook, I can tell you that.

Hiddles!

Also a very positive vibe it‘s the moment when Tom Hiddleston posts a photo on his social media. That‘s a vibe being send over in his whole fandom by one simple click. Just look at that smile! Doesn't that just magically make a smile appear on your face? Also the drawing (probably made by one of his youngest fans?) also got me overflowed with happy and 'aww'-thinking thoughts!

Let‘s continue on the cute factor, shall we?

The Betrayal trio at the Broadway Flea Market, doing a raffle for charity. Personally when I‘m choosing a charity to donate to, 9 out of 10 it will be a charity that helps animals. Animals, how big or small they are, they got feelings too (the dog below surely shows how he feels for Tom Hiddleston haha) and they deserve to live a happy life. 

If the term 'police dogs' is one that gives you mixed-up feelings, than just focus on how much a police dog actually means for the safety (and the safety of our inspiration Tom Hiddleston, yeah I've seen pictures of the large numbers of crowd during the stage door!) For my education of Animal Caretaker I've also did an internship at a place where dogs were trained to become police dogs. It was quite the experience! Because of my physical condition, I couldn't do much myself. I mainly took the calmer dogs such as the labradors out for walks. You grow to attach them quickly, I probably don't have to tell you that! I‘ve got a Labrador here and well, he‘s just the purest soul. Dogs, they are truly our best friends. Just look at this one:

This dog was given a great treat namely, Tom Hiddleston! Look at his face, how happy that made him feel. Now if that isn‘t a positive way to end this blogpost.. 😉

Dear Tom,

It‘s been a while since I last have written a post. In the meantime there‘s been a lot of development regarding Tom Hiddleston, which I of course still have followed! For example he did this interview for Entertainment Weekly and he also did some promotion for Betrayal in New York: There was a interview video, several photo‘s and the cast also was present at the Broadway Opening Night performance of Sea Wall / A Life at the Hudson Theatre. Oh and I almost forgot about the poems he read for Ximalaya FM! (I haven‘t listened to them yet, I‘m sorry but it‘s on my to do list!)*

Last week we were given a highly emotional promotion video of Betrayal (and I thought he posted 5 things in a row because I got the notification on all my IG & twitter accounts!) and there‘s an interview with Josh Horowitz coming! (Josh posted a small part already) I haven‘t been sitting still this summer myself either. What is the best thing to do when your country breaks a personal record of 40 degrees? Nothing, lay down in the pool, right.. But imagine you want to do at least something. What you do then? For me the answer is simple: writing! I've gotten so many inspiration for my fan story Scar‘s Reign, (and I did some editing and gave it a nice new cover..) that I neglected my Loki stories a bit. Well, inspiration for Loki will come back later, eventually.

A part of this post (blue part) will be a bit different. I can go on and on about how Tom inspires me and how I like seeing new content of him, but why not just address it to the man himself? 😏

*His lovely selfie, Marvel Phase 4 and the interviews for SiriusXM I already posted about in an older blog, that‘s why they are not mentioned above.

I see a pattern, I just like black maned male characters..

Dearest Thomas,

How are you feeling today?
I‘m happy that you didn't sit still this summer because well, I liked the content I've seen of you lately. However when it‘s 35-40+ degrees, I hope your day isn't too crowded.. I don‘t know what the weather is like in New York, but here those temperatures mean no fun.. 

Your interview for EW I truly experienced as a lovely interview Tom! I really loved to read that you actually had gotten Betrayal for a school assignment and that you dreamed to do it once, because you got so fascinated with it. It was meant to come on your path so to see, and faith always knows what it‘s doing :) If there‘s one thing we can relay on, it‘s the universe. They never let us down!(Even though sometimes it may look like they have.) I've written you a few times and I think I mention that you inspire me, a lot. But it‘s the truth and a compliment worth to be shared more often. Your words in the interview also inspire people to continue believing in their dreams; believing they can make them true, just like you made them true. Doing Betrayal once was a dream & this year in London you portrayed Robert in Betrayal like the stars of heaven would (Dutch saying of saying it‘s was a huge success and you have performed magnificent). And now you, Charlie and Zawe have made it to Broadway! If that‘s not inspiring, than I don‘t know what else is.. I know I can make my dreams true too and you have truly helped me see that. According to the internet the name 'Tom' has meanings like: Twin, brave/good man, but for me your name also brings luck, inspiration and confidence! 

I loved your selfie. On the photo I see a man with sparkles in his eyes, a smile from the heart and a shining aura. I said: "If you ask me, New York never was this light!" Okay, I've never been in New York, but your smile was so bright and full of joy. I can‘t look at the photo without smiling and feeling warm and happy inside. I‘m so proud and so blessed to have your brightness on my path. 


Like I said above, I haven‘t been sitting still either. I wouldn't feel alive if I can‘t do the thing that fills my heart: writing! But we‘re also planning a school reunion. Really fun and via a Facebook group I've created I've found old classmates and of all the 100 people that joined the group, they are really sharing their memories and finding back people they haven‘t seen in years. That‘s truly beautiful. I've think I have changed a lot and I‘m really looking forward on showing this stronger version of myself during the actual reunion. 

I am still looking forward to the Loki Series (+ also a bit for Thor 4). Marvel Phase 4 is looking bright and I think hearing people call: 'Loki, Loki, Loki!' gave you such a amazing feeling! Loki must be one of the populairst characters of the MCU and with such a amazing talent as you are, one who performs with his whole heart and soul, that‘s not hard to believe at all! All the praise you got, you truly deserved (in a good way of course, saying someone deserved something looks weird to me when I read it, but I mean it as a very positive thing!). Perhaps it‘s goodbye Netflix in 2021 and welcome Disney+, because I will definitely not miss out on the Loki Series! 

Continue shining your light, shine it through the whole city of New York. Rock it during Betrayal Broadway! For all involved: Best of luck and lots of fun with Betrayal Broadway! Enjoy your time in NYC and in 'spirit' I‘ll be there to support you! This is a chapter of your life you‘ll never forget. :) 

I will continue following all developments and one day, I‘ll be there telling you face to face how much you have inspired me (On forehand, forgive me if I suddenly forget how to speak..), one day I will meet you myself and I‘m already looking forward to that precious day of my life!

(PS: This photo of The Broken Word taken at Dead Poets Live really takes my breath away. It‘s called "Dead Poets" but this picture is so alive. It truly makes me curious about the event. And oh, the light!)

Take good care! :)

Your sincerely,

Nicole from the Netherlands

Is it okay if a post has two of the same pictures? If it‘s Tom, of course it‘s okay! His eyes are sparkling, his light is shining. This is our lovely Tom and I can‘t be more proud at him! I wish him and all involved best of luck and a great time during Betrayal Broadway in New York!

❤❤

Betrayal going to Broadway!

Betrayal edit I made a while ago (was a card I send to the Harold Pinter Theatre)

The header contains news, big news! Which I normally only share on my Instagram, Facebook & Tumblr and not here (*personal blog, not a news blog), but this is so huge that I can‘t just ignore it! This must be a dream come true for Tom, for all who‘re involved. Via here I want to share my congratulations with them, with Tom! 

Congratulations Tom! This is granted to you by the universe because you deserve it double double! Enjoy New York and show them something they shall never forget!

Also I‘m sending my congratulations to Charlie Cox, Zawe Ashton, Jamie Lloyd and all who‘re involved!
