Don't forget, it ain't official until someone's agent says it is. Let's be real though, as far as rumors go, this one is looking pretty solid.

2. Cheer them up with the MTV Loki'd! saga.

And hey, if Tom and Elizabeth really are dating, she's going to have to put up with his pranking ways. You dodged a bullet, my friend.

3. Re-visit Tom's Ice Bucket Challenge.

Nothing heals a broken heart like receiving copyright royalties for "Hiddlesen".

Though, if you were under the impression from Tom himself that it was going to work out, you have every right to be upset.

12. Mention all of the other celebrity fish in the sea.

Hey I mean Benedict Cumberbatch's still avai-whoops, nevermind. Well, there's always Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Oh no wait, better cross him off the list. Idris Elba? Ugh, I wish. Maybe Chris Evans is free?

13. Suggest that maybe the person they should really be jealous of is Tom.
