Alan Rickman is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors I will ever work with. He is also, one of the loyalest and most supportive people I’ve ever met in the film industry. He was so encouraging of me both on set and in the years post-Potter. I’m pretty sure he came and saw everything I ever did on stage both in London and New York. He didn’t have to do that. I know other people who’ve been friends with him for much much longer than I have and they all say “if you call Alan, it doesn’t matter where in the world he is or how busy he is with what he’s doing, he’ll get back to you within a day”. People create perceptions of actors based on the parts they played so it might surprise some people to learn that contrary to some of the sterner(or downright scary) characters he played, Alan was extremely kind, generous, self-deprecating and funny. And certain things obviously became even funnier when delivered in his unmistakable double-bass. As an actor he was one of the first of the adults on Potter to treat me like a peer rather than a child. Working with him at such a formative age was incredibly important and I will carry the lessons he taught me for the rest of my life and career. Film sets and theatre stages are all far poorer for the loss of this great actor and man.

When I’m 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I’ll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me, ‘After all this time?’ And I will say, “Always.”
Hey -- this is just to let y’all know I’ve gotten back to you !! I’ve been having problems with my messages lately so if you didn’t get one I swear I’m not ignoring you. Tumblr is just being stupid. Feel free to let me know and I’ll try and remember what I screamed at you :b Hope you all had a great holiday !!
ps if you have kik, that would actually be a better way to get ahold of me right now. If you want it let me know (:
Wow, really? I'm lucky - our extended family lives an hour or two away. We just drive down, and listen to Xmas music. My dad's the one who watches The Flash, but I see stuff for it and Arrow on my dash (I had to tell him the girl he thought was an "angel" was actually Hawkgirl, haha). If I was better at keeping up w/ TV shows, I'd watch those! Yes, I love Medusa. I mean, she's the queen Inhuman - how cool is that? It looks like those work fine for you! I never would've guessed, tbh. (:
Nope !! I’ve got to go crazy far, so you’re definitely lucky. I’ve been doing traveling and visiting family for what seems like the entire month of December (but really it’s just been the past week-- I like to be dramatic). Tonight we had a huge family gathering and played games and stuff, which was nice but also kind of exhausting lol I hope you had a good time with your family !! && I hope you had a really good Christmas and got some awesome stuff
Ooh, yeah I love both of those shows. It’s so strange watching it with people who don’t know much about comics and such though because the don’t get many references or pick up on some things (like Hawkgirl lol). && yeah, I’m not good at keeping up either !! Usually I take the days I have off work and just binge watch what I’ve missed. Which works out well if you ignore the fact that my laundry and dishes never get done :b & I’m so going to have to check those out because they sound awesome. I’m actually going to a book/comic store tomorrow so I’ll keep my eye out and pick them up if I see them !!
Merry Christmas ( ps-- I’ve made you something but it’s not quite finished yet so even though this SS thing & Christmas are both kind of over, definitely check back probably around Monday and it should be up by then in the tag I’ve got for you !! )
I promise I’ll get back to all of you guys by Tuesday afternoon (either making accounts for those of you I’ve got stuff locked down with and / or plotting with those of you I don’t) !! I know it’s been a few days since we’ve discussed stuff and whatnot but RL got in the way big time this weekend :/ && I’ve still got Christmas shopping to dooo (like a lot of Christmas shopping i’m so last minute sigh) <3 I can’t wait to get things going with you all though!
Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I’m still holdin’ on to somethin’
You should go and love yourself
