Hiddlesworth… thing
I love that this story can basically be summarized as “And then Chris Hemsworth was Mjolnir.” You’ll understand.(IDK, sometimes you think you know who you are as a writer and then you find yourself writing a not-gen-exactly-because-semi-breathplay thing and you reassess. It’s a humble offering, but hey, world needs more Hiddlesworth. BTW shout out to drawsaurus!)
Being labeled the “Tom-whisperer” of the Avengers cast was pretty much the last thing Chris expected when he joined on. It’s not that he ever truly believed that he’d be called “the heart of the cast” or “the highlight of the films” but he had half hoped for it. He doesn’t complain though, doesn’t much wish to be defined some other way. Certainly it’s better than finding out people think of him as “that no-talent Aussie” or anything worse. And he’s glad not to be just the brawn - he’s heard enough about his size to last a lifetime - and of all the people he could have found himself being the go-to handler of, Tom’s all right.
For the most part Tom is navigating the challenges of the Avengers as well or better than any of them. There is no obstacle that Tom’s optimism cannot eventually overcome and the man feeds on love. He inspires it and takes it into himself and turns it into fuel to create more reasons to be loved in a process as natural to him as photosynthesis to a plant. The only caveat is there is so much love, so much attention, so much possibility right now that Tom can spend too much of his time in the stratosphere. There are week long stretches where he only sleeps four hours a night, but rather than turning into an ogre he keeps on smiling.
“I have an embarrassment of riches,” he always says when questioned. “How can I say no?”
But the reality is there are times Tom really should say no. Times when he’s on the verge of running himself ragged, mind willing but body starting to weaken. And you can’t trust Tom to figure it out and put the brakes on himself, not if Christmas 2011 is anything to go on.
So people start saying things to Chris. Subtle things that really aren’t that subtle.
Yes, I understood! Lols
