It's for science

[birdsofshore]

I'm spending a happy hour going through the fab fics and graphics at the love fest , and trying to write a Luna thing for it, but I just wanted to tell you all that I spent two and a half hours this afternoon studying the anatomy of Mr. Thomas Hiddleston at the Donmar Theatre, and I am fully prepared to answer any and all questions you may have on the subject of his body acting. I was in the front row of the circle and there was naked flesh and a shower scene and all sorts.



I know, I am very soft-hearted. It was a tough job, but I did it all for you.

Hmmm, you say you have memorized every inch and ask what I want to know?

Every. Single. Perfect. Inch.

Describe the back of his neck. Describe his ankles and feet. What is his voice like, live? I want it all!

[birdsofshore]

Now THAT'S the kind of request I like :DD My research will really pay off here. I need to come back to this later, to do it justice, but suffice to say for now that the back of his neck was LICKABLE.

[birdsofshore]

A boring Monday lunchtime reminded me that I never came back to perve in massive detail give you this valuable information.

For more details please see above, also. As touched on briefly, the back of his neck was lickable. His entire upper body is kind of what I would have to describe as perfect. Especially when naked and glistening perfectly with perfect droplets of water as he groaned erotically and contorted his perfect body in front of my not-disinterested face.

His ankles were delicious, with a beautiful turn to them. His feet were endearingly odd - long and slightly crooked. He wore a sort of see-through nightshirt at one point - the legs were verrrrrrry nice indeed all the way up. Those stage lights are terribly bright - what a shame that was. His calves were mesmerising and covered with pale hair.

When he made eye contact I thought I was going to levitate off the seat. Or burn a hole in it. The front row of the stalls got a lot more eye contact than we did - there were several permanently startled-looking women down there, looking as if they would stumble home wearing the expression of having gazed on raptures not meant for human eyes :DD

Anything else in particular? I'm spending a happy half hour just refreshing my memory during naptime.

Tell me about his voice - what is it like live?

Also, firethesound asked about hipbones, which I must echo. I love your observations about his suits being cut to maximize posterior pertness. I am SURE this is a thin in those skinny suits - and indeed, why wouldn't it be?

[birdsofshore]

I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember hipbones. omi_ohmy, can you think, were there hipbones during the shower scene? I was just sort of liquefying internally at that point and trying to concentrate on swallowing my saliva and not actually moaning aloud. There was water and blood everywhere, and a lot of skin and flesh and muscles and grunts of agony. It was all terribly distracting. :DD

It is really hard to describe the voice. I do love the way he speaks, and he was wonderful, both in the role, and at the Shakespearean meter in general. But his physicality was a fucking dreadful distraction. There were huge chunks I missed because I was just STARING. He's criminally charismatic. But I'm sorry, I let you down there.

He totally tries on those suits and checks out his own arse in the mirror. You know he does, and then he either buys the obscenely pert-looking ones, or has them tailored in an arse-adoring fashion.

That's all right, I can quite understand that you were overwhelmed at points :) I often think that his voice is surprisingly deeper than I would imagine - I don't know why. Maybe because he is so fair, I expect his voice to be light too.

You know, I bet the assistants at the tailors are awfully ready to assist him :D He must get through heaps of clothes, considering his shirts and trousers are virtually spray-on. Buttons and seams must be going all the time.

[birdsofshore]

Yes, his voice was deep! Deep and powerful, but not in an overbearing way.

I think he is dicing with danger every time he gets up and dances in one of those tight little suits, especially considering the pertness of the arse and all the rest of it. It's only going to be a matter of time before something r-i-i-i-i-p-p-s on camera :D
