Throwback to Tom‘s Spirit Week: Good Will Thursday

Throwback Thursday on Tom‘s Spirit Week‘s: Good Will Thursday 

(The last thursday before Tom‘s birthday)

#TomsSpiritWeek For today‘s theme #GoodWillThursday I chose to support charities. Since I already have donated for both of the Tom Hiddleston birthday Fundraisers for Unicef, I chose Animals Syria - CatConnect. I chose to donate the exact amount I had paid for an event which got canceled (and so was refunded to me).

#CatConnect is on my list for charities I wanted to support since I saw the episode of husky Zeus on Dogs (Netflix documentary). As I got a big heart for animals and I want them to live a happy and safe life, the episode touched me very much. The episode is about a Syrian refugee. His dog Zeus remained in Syria for several years before enlisting the help of Animals Syria to make the reunion possible.

Text from CatConnect:
Animals Syria is a nonprofit foundation that works to protect and rescue strays in Syria. We are a group of animal lovers trying to give a better living conditions to all neglected, injured and abandoned animals.

For more information I‘d like to direct you to their Facebook Page I mentioned in the top section. #Hiddlestoners more than just fans of #TomHiddleston, we care for the world, for every human being, but also for our 4 legged friends and all animals in the world! They all deserve to be treated with lots of care!

What‘s your center?

What‘s your center?

What inspires you? 

Today I participated in a workshop in which they had thought of a dice game. In stead of numbers, the dice had questions/subjects on them which were meant to give the conversation (you were practicing) a subject or to lead it. The game had 6 dices, with the subject decided by the first one. You could chose a simple one, for a start: if you don‘t really know the person a head of you. Or one which asked you to talk about a WOW factor in your life or a complete failure/bad choice you made. Well, I didn't knew the person who sat in front of me very well, so we chose the first dice. While I read the different subjects which had subjects like; talk about your fave movie, your hobby, the favorite trip you took. Going deeper in those with the other dices, I came to one conclusion: they all lead me to ONE center. 

Now what do you mean by a center you ask? Something which means a lot for you, something which gives you inspiration (a word I use a lot, because it has brought me this much), something what makes you happy. Perhaps you can see it as something (almost) spiritual, because spirituality is all about discovering who you are by seeking it inside of you; your inner center.

Here I have four of those subjects simplified on a table by using post-its. I left out the questions from the other dices, nonetheless they probably had me ended at the same spot.. During my conversation my subject was to describe what my favorite trip meant for me. What life experience had it brought me? It had to do with standing on my own feet a little, being able to find my way in a city I barely know. (Now I know, it isn't really hard to find your way with the London Underground..) Then the other person threw the following question: 'Who would you like to meet?' (between marks it said something like: who‘s able to help you forward?) Speaking of London, you probably don‘t have to guess which name I named. When I named Tom Hiddleston, the person I spoke with immediately asked: Who? But when I told her how much he inspired me to start writing and to step out of my comfort zone, she got really impressed. 

The answers you give on the subjects (blue post-its) are supposed to be the ones you first think off. If I was meant to rethink my whole life, I probably had came up with another one for 'Fave feeling'. But that‘s not the point, these things can change. They do all the time. In a few years after I have held my first baby for the first time, for sure there will be something else written on that yellow note..

If you see the picture, I‘m sure I don‘t need to explain why I got Loki listed as a center at 'Fave movie' & 'Fave hobby' and the other 2 I've already addressed a little. Of course when you think of London, you can name a lot of things but Tom was the first to came into my mind. Perhaps that had something to do with my 2 dreams I had last night: In both of my dreams I was going to see Betrayal. (Which I thought of doing, but couldn't take the final step.) I‘d like to analyze my dreams: In both of the dreams I traveled with someone who wasn't so thrilled about going to see the play. Which I think can be explained as: I need to make my own choices. I‘m the leader of my path, I‘m the one I should relay on. Because in both of the dreams it should have been better for me if I traveled alone, perhaps I will one day: who knows? In the first dream, everything went wrong. Everything was late, obstacles, distractions.. the theatre was impossible to find. Even Google Maps couldn't find it! In the end: I was too late to see the play. What do you think this means? Fear? Or had this actually happened if I had decided to go there.. I don‘t quite know yet. My other dream clearly came from the stage door photo which got spread online the other day. This time, the theatre was easy to find and there was a line at the stage door.. I did see the play, but the dream doesn't actually show me. Later I‘m in the line for hoping to meet talk/get a picture with Tom. The line is moving fast, thank God. I know I got to see him, but again the dream apparently pressed a 'fast-forward' button because it doesn't show me! Then I‘m meeting up with a few of you I recognized from IG & FB. Hiddleston_Hideaway, you were there! But I was tired and all I wanted to do is getting some sleep.. I don‘t really know what to think of that dream, but I remember waking up with a restless feeling. 

Let‘s get to: 'Fave feeling'. Writing about Loki probably came popped up, because I do that a lot lately. In fact I just finished another chapter the other day (while I have the next one finished in my head as well..). Writing about Loki gives me such an incredible happy feeling, which probably more fan-fiction writers will understand. It brings me to their fantasy world, it brings me to Asgard. They don‘t say for nothing: writing is good for your personal development. It sure has given me confidence and fun. 

If you came to this point I‘ll thank you for reading my whole blog. I just wanted to share this, I am not asking you to grab your post-its as well. (As a matter of fact I don‘t think I will again any soon either). But I do want to ask you to think about what does inspire you at the moment? What is your current center? What makes you happy? What pops up into your mind? I‘ll invite you to take a moment for yourself and listen to your own inner voice.  

Stuttgart Loki Funko Pop Custom

A little while I requested this Stuttgart Loki as a custom. I still think FunkoPop could have made some more Loki pops, for example this one and his Avengers look in full custom. (read: with the hair and helmet!)

I did some photo-shopping but you know what I mean..

Sketch by BB Customs

This Loki is made by BB Customs, a very talented Dutch lady as you can see in the pictures! Now I got to think of some more Loki Avengers Funko Fun moments ;). I did a lot of Thor Ragnarok Moments. (Get Help, Loki Statue, Dr. Strange..)

Get Help part 1 (Follow @Loki_FunkoFun at IG for more)

Loki‘s Statue in Asgard

Did a quick edit, don‘t mind the background errors:

The following pictures are mine too:

Hello Thomas Sharpe..

Loki came with a Box too!

Scepter details

Dr. Strange & Iron Man had to move a little, as they first stood there..

I got him between Cap Loki (another custom, someone switched the heads for me, because I was afraid to break them..) and Bucky. Don‘t they make a great team?  I would love to see Bucky and Loki teaming up in a future film/series! Wouldn't you? 

I already know what my next custom will be. Tom Hiddleston!
Navy or Red sweater.. Any suggestions??

I think the photo‘s look amazing and this is going to be something to look forward to!
I want to ask my followers who are attending Betrayal to tell me all about it after you went!
Thanks! :)

I know some of you are traveling from the other side of the world to see Betrayal. I'm very proud for all who took that step!

[long pause]

A step that I couldn't get myself to take yet.

While,

[long pause] 

from my country the traveling time probably is shorter then the famous Pinter pauses!

(I'm sorry that was a bad joke and also not true.) 

Betrayal hits the theatre in the beginning of March until June! If you don't have tickets yet, you can still purchase them. And I believe they haven't released the £15 tickets for people below 30 yet!

'The Loki Series' is taking a huge step forward!

"Disney and Marvel's Loki show with Tom Hiddleston is taking a huge step forward" 

 The title of this article of DigitalSpy sounds very promising.

Marvel Studios

This is what the article is saying:


Marvel's in-development Loki TV show has bagged itself a showrunner. Tasked with bringing Tom Hiddleston's beloved God of Mischief to the small screen on Disney's streaming platform, Rick and Morty writer Michael Waldron has been hired to write the pilot, executive produce and create the series (via The Hollywood Reporter). 

As for narrative details (remember, Loki was murdered by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War), it's being reported that the show will follow the shapeshifting trickster as he weaves through historical human events – becoming an influencer in many surprising situations. Will he carve the iceberg that sunk the Titanic, or could Loki in fact be the chief visionary behind the great pyramids of Egypt? Probably not, but you get the idea. 

Recently, Hiddleston appeared on Zoe Ball's Radio 2 Breakfast Show to give an update on the Loki series. "We're currently in the process of polishing up what it will be: the ideas, the story, the pitch," he teased. "But it's definitely happening." 

"Disney are launching a streaming service called Disney+, and I'm not sure exactly when that will be live, but anything that's ever been made by Disney will be on that thing," he added. "So whether it's The Lion King or Beauty and the Beast, Star Wars and Marvel and Pixar will all be part of that. So you'll be wanting to subscribe."

I’m not really into Rick & Morty, but this does sound very promising. But will this be a cartoon or not? The only thing we can do now is speculate and wait. To be continued I guess..

Happy Valentine‘s Day!

What is Valentine‘s Day?

Valentine‘s Day is an excuse to make a Tom edit like this..

Doesn't it sound romantic, Valentine‘s day? But for real I‘m only getting flooded with Valentine commercials for make-up, parfum and among others, yes I have to admit cute fluffy stuff. In short: presents.. And today I got reminded to the fact I perhaps need to unsubscribe me from a few newsletters..

In the media it’s all about buying presents for each other. Totally unnecessary, if you ask me. I mean, I shall not have hearts in my eyes for a random scent. First of all, men mostly don’t know which kind of parfum women like and second of all, long before I‘m out of parfum, I got my stock refilled myself! Where did the time of handwritten letters and cards go? Or perhaps a long e-mail, fine too. Don’t tell me I‘m the only woman, longing to find a lovely letter from her partner (or the man who adores her) in her mailbox? (Instead of the usual boring mail..)

Actually I don’t see Valentine’s Day as a special day, this evening I even got a work related meeting! Perhaps someone will bring heart-shaped chocolates, who knows. That’s something I do love, chocolate! Love, (according to what people say here) nowadays is through the stomach. Especially for men! However on my imaginary wish list, love in words and (written) feelings still ends op higher! What about you?

Milka! Why haven‘t I got me those?

Besides, spreading love (in any way whatsoever) is something we should do every day, not just on Valentine’s day! 

Bonus: last year‘s edit.
