Eric making Assad laugh // pt.1 -> DISH Studio Exclusive Interview

[dykesynthezoid]

In the post-finale chaos of so many rpf moments I think we all forgot that Eric said Assad has been trying to get his clothes off for two years. Like he did say that. Out loud, apparently. To an interviewer.

a scene in iwtv s3 where assad also accidentally sends eric into subspace

here's my zamasian fic pitch if i ever write interview with the vampire RPF:

"Eric" and "Assad" make plans for a sexy rendezvous at their hotel room. As the evening progresses, it becomes increasingly clear that something is wrong with both of them: neither seems to know anything about how Wardrobe and Makeup works, or how scripts are sent out, or how TV filming schedules are made. Also the personal details are all wrong. Is it an open relationship or infidelity? Does Jo exist? And also the vampire stuff seems...maybe a little too hardcore?

And then one of them goes a bit overboard and "Assad" is like, oh my god DANIEL I prepared this scenario weeks in advance can you not LEARN your LINES. And "Eric" is like, "jesus christ ARMAND I'm trying...can you let go of the fuckass VAMPIRE THEATRE DIRECTOR for one night??"

And then it turns out that, no, actually we're inside the IWTV universe and Armand wants to do sexy roleplay stuff where he's a cute vulnerable human being seduced by his older coworker and Daniel is like, ok....but I'm not calling you Rashid.... so Armand has to invent "Assad Zaman" wholecloth but totally cut corners with this "Eric Bogosian" character so he's basically just Daniel Malloy with a career in theatre instead of journalism

Hey besties! Please read!!

We need to have a chat. An important one.

I've sorta been seeing posts floating around on here about speculation surrounding Assad's sexuality.I typically tend to keep scrolling just to avoid discourse since it's personally not my thing to get into. But, I was on insta when I happened across a fan account (story linked below) discussing the comments/dms they are getting asking if he's gay. This also happens to be an account that is followed by people who work on the show. One of them being someone who works alongside assad as a side character on the show (someone can correct me if im wrong)

The Instagram story clearly states that none of the moderators of the account know him personally, nor has he ever divulged the information in regards to his sexuality.

To say that I'm shocked is an understatement. Maybe even embarrassed. Definitely dissapointed.

We as a fandom should not, by any means, be speculating, or be doing ANYY digging about these actors personal lives. That includes reasearching thier family, friends, and/or partners. Thier personal lives, are theirs only. Just like ours. We need to respect the boundaries of the people who not only are nice enough to interact with us (when they can), but also work really hard provide us with our beloved show.

Its okay to enjoy the things that come with being in a fandom like this. Its okay to be interested in the other work they do. Whats not okay is to violate thier privacy in a very public, rude way.

This goes not just for Assad, but for the rest of the cast and crew/showrunners as well.

I enjoy Assads work and can't wait to see what else he does in future projects.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk 🙃

(I also have permission to share the story. If anyone needs the screenshot of it I have one if it ends up expiring before you get the chance to look at it)

for rpf enthusiasts, this edit as a gift because they have consumed my soul

[lesbians4armand]

rpfers listen to me. this kind of character bleed means INSANE sex.

[wildeoscars]

guys…………..guys……………….are we seeing this

[4th-make-quail]

when ur stationed real close to each other and having lots of fun together in Prague

[dykesynthezoid]

The idea that amc studios would be like we need to make two actors in our immortal universe pretend to be into each other for Fan Service and Marketing and that they would then intentionally pick a combination that included a 71 y old man is. Hilarious. Think about the logic of that for five seconds. Do you guys know what an industry plant is. Do you know how advertising works. No executive anywhere would’ve asked for this to happen. Their market research is in shambles

eric was doing some truly crazy work in this interview
