hate how scared modern liberal movies are of making characters of color into antagonists of any sort? like i know it depends on what kind of story you want to tell, but if it's a "colorblind" story that's just like, "regency era, but diverse" or whatever and all of the people of color are the kind supporting cast, just go fuck yourself I'm sorry
#persuasion 2022 was sooo dirty w this#like... let actors of color play rancid people too? idk man i want to see characters.#i dont want to see you did the bare minimum and hired a few actors of color#like. in THE BOOK persuasion lady russell was lowkey a mean classist bitch#and they just.... didn't make her a mean classist bitch and just made her a kind mother to anne for nooo reason?#like also. sorry i didn't really super like gl*ss onion#(censoring just so it isn't in the tag)#bc like i get they wanted to critique billionaires. but... i dont think the movie was very smart to be honest#like it has a lot of nice funny details. but like. its all very on the nose and the pacing wasn't that great#and tbh i was like 'woah ballsy move to make leslie odom junior play some guy whose a complete suck up to a billionaire'#but like. he really was theeeeeee most harmless of them like.#this man was so insignificant to the story he was only needed to give exposition like 3 times#same w the politician woman like she had no fucking purpose to the plot#but especially with his character i felt like this could have been a great role but I think the director was too scared#of coming across racist to do anything interesting with the character at all? like what was he there for?#and like ive seen this man act this man is a fucking powerhouse of an actor you know#i was soooo excited that he was in the movie and he played like 'lowkey unimportant character number 3' like i was sooo mad abt that#like did viola davis perform her soul out on god knows how many seasons of how to get away w murder#just so that mainstream now is too scared again to cast people of color in non-'kind supporting cast 🥺' roles???#like i hope i dont sound insane but i am sooo tired of this

I dont even know your name
Pairing: Tom holland x reader
Summary: Inspired by the song I don't even know your name by Shawn Mendes (x). In which Tom meets a cute fan and falls for her, but she is gone before he even realises it.
word count: 1609
Masterlist
Tom was tired. All he wanted was to go to starbucks, get some tea and then get back to his place and rest a little before work, however things were not going as planned. He had arrived next to Harrison, however after a couple minutes there, he realised people were staring.
The Spiderman movie wasn't out until next week, however many people seemed to recognize him as they approached him for photos. It was always nice meeting fans, but it had gotten crazy.
According to Harrison someone had posted a photo with him on twitter and suddenly a huge crowd was outside the cafe, hoping to get a photo with Tom.
He decided it was probably better to just get over with the drama and get outside, after all, he was nothing without his fans. He stepped out of Starbucks, greeting everyone as they approached him, screaming for his attention. He got a couple photos done before he tried to head towards his car, bumping accidentally into someone.
“Oh I’m sorry I wasn't looking”
“Don't worry abo- Oh my god! You’re Spiderman! I mean- Peter- wait no- Tom holland!”
The girl in front of him had turned completely red and stumbled upon her own words, trying to make a complete sentence without making a fool of herself, obviously failing. She was a couple inches shorter/taller than him and had this big expressive eyes, that were a thousand times bigger than usual as Y/n could not believe who was in front of her.
She had just gone for a coffee and to walk out her dog, but as she got closer she wondered why there was a big fuss. Now she knew why.
“The one and only”
“And you’re Harrison!”
“Ohh! You recognized him!”
“Who wouldn't? He follows you everywhere”
Both guys laughed as Harrison noticed her little dog
“Your dog is really cute! Tom loves dogs”
“Do you?”
“I mean- yes, my dog Tessa is like my best friend”
“Hey!”
Harrison now was acting offended by the comment, he was supposed to be the best friend. As he got his offended act going on he realised Tom was acting very strange, maybe a little nervous. Meanwhile Y/n girl had gotten a lot more relaxed, and was starting to act as her normal self.
Tom felt really comfortable with this girl, however she was so beautiful he felt his heart speed up and his cheeks warm up every time she looked at him. Harrison decided to step in a little and help Tom out, seeing as he was into the girl.
“Sooo, who’s your favorite superhero?”
“Obviously Captain America”
“I knew it- Wait what? Why him?”
Both boys had expected her to say Spidernam, however Tom was the most surprised to hear her answer. He had hoped she would be into him.
“Why not me?”
“Your movie isn't even out yet! How am I supposed to know if I like it? Besides, Chris Evans? Yes please”
Both Harrison and the girl laughed at the expression on Tom’s face.
“She’s got a point mate- You’ve got nothing on Chris Evans”
The three of them laughed now. The girl was very nervous to ask for a photo, maybe he was in a rush? but she still didn't wanted to lose her chance. She decided to just ask for it.
“I know you’re probably in a hurry, but could we take a picture?”
“Sure, give Harrison your phone, he’ll take it”
She handed Harrison her phone as she posed beside Tom. She had just expected a friendly photo, maybe a little shoulder touching, however Tom had hold onto her waist and brought her closer to him, giving her a side hug and another from behind for different photos.
“There you go, so, who’s your favorite superhero now?
“Still Captain America” The girl continued talking, seeing as Tom was about to protest again. “But, you come in a close second, maybe after the movie my ratings will change”
“I like the sound of that”
Harrison was getting a little impatient by Tom’s attitude. Why didn't he just asked for his number? They were both into each other, God, he was a celebrity! He could have any girl he wanted! He decided to help, once again, to try to maybe get heer social media.
“How about I take a photo with Tom’s phone? He could post it and maybe tag you in-”
Harrison was interrupted as a group of giggly girls approached them, surrounding Tom and asking for photos, leaving Y/n outside the circle they made around the boys.
“It was nice meeting you!”
Y/n tried to get her voice above all the noise, however it was pointless. She didn't want to feel down, however she couldn't help it. What was she expecting? for them to become friends? He was just being polite. She decided to just head back home and maybe stare at her photos for a while.
Tom and Harrison were surrounded by a group of people trying to get their attention, however Tom wanted to find the girl desperately.
“Where is she?”
“I don't know! I can't see her!”
The crowd demanded their attention once more, getting them out of their thoughts. They spend the next 40 minutes taking pictures and talking to fans, until they finally made it to Tom´s car and drove away.
“Man I can't believe I lost her- Did she just left?”
“I didn't saw”
“How am I supposed to find her now? Did you see her? She was the perfect girl for me Harrison!”
The other boy rolled his eyes as he listened to his friend comments. Sure, she was really pretty, but why was Tom so into her? He’d never seen him act that way for anyone.
“I’m serious Harrison! She was the perfect girl! Not only is she insanely beautiful, but she is like, sarcastic, and funny and God!She likes dogs! We would be perfect together!”
“If you liked her so much why don't you just tweet out her name? and like today’s scene? maybe she would see it and message you”
It suddenly hit Tom. He didn't knew who she was. He had been so blown away by her that he didn't even thought of asking for her number, let alone her name. He just felt like they new each other from long ago, asking for her name didn't even cross his mind.
“I don't even know her name”
“You’re like, the most stupid person I know!”
“Now I won't ever find her”
---
The day kept going on as normal as always. He had some shooting left for a new movie. They were supposed to shot a couple blocks from Starbucks, so they headed there.
Tom did some of his scenes, however he kept redoing them. He knew he wasn't bringing his A game today, but he kept getting distracted. He felt very confused; he knew it was stupid, but he couldn't stop thinking about that girl.
She had just felt so refreshing. She didn't try to impress him, or flatter him, she had just been herself. She looked a little nervous and flushed, however it just made her more beautiful to his eyes. She had worn a cute dress and her hair down, still he kept going back to the way her smile made his heart jump, especially as he had hold her in his arms. A perfect fit.
He tried to push away those thoughts as he prepared or another scene. He got outside his trailer and into the street they were shooting when he saw her.
She was giving him her back, and was heading in an opposite direction, however she was wearing the same sundress as earlier. He couldn't keep his eyes apart from her, not even when the director called for his attention.
He had lost his chance once, he would not do it again. He got on his feet and started running towards her, trying his hardest to get to her. He speed up, losing his breath, but he was just so close.
“Wait!”
Tom screamed trying to get the girl’s attention, succeeding. She looked at him, taken back by the sound, however it was not who Tom expected.
She was not who he was looking for, it wasn't the girl he had  been daydreaming since the morning.
“Sorry-I just- I thought you were someone else.”
Tom got back to filming and went straight to his home afterwards. He needed to be alone.
He had been so hopeful that it was her, however he was defeated. He didn't want to think about her any longer, but every girl he looked at he could just see her bright smile and big eyes. He wanted, he needed to hold her once again, and maybe tell her how good it had felt.
But he couldn't. He didn't knew who she was, or where to find her, and even if he did, she’d probably think he was a creeper! He was starting to sound like one. But he didn't care. Not as long as he didn't had her.
She had just come and punched a hole right through his heart. If he didn't believe in love at first sight before, he did now.
Probably what hurts the most was, that she wouldn't even know how he felt, how much she had affected him. She would never know, and all because he didn't knew her name.
