If I were a young actor and someone (Matt Bomer!) compared me to Ian McKellen, I’d probably fall asleep that night sobbing uncontrollably with tears of joy.
Interviewer: “which heated rivalry star is now being eyed to be a Marvel villain?
Matt Bomer: “it has to be Connor. He could be a good magneto, like a young Ian McKellen, get on it Hollywood”
“Oh that’s a gorgeous casting, you should be a casting director”
Matt Bomer shares potential Marvel role casting for Connor Storrie with Catriona Walsh ahead of his West End Production via Metro Entertainment UK
Do you ever stop and think how wild it is that we even need to have this conversation?
hudson isn’t just calling out how parasocial people can be, but also standing up for connor and his privacy. “it’s entirely up to the individual to determine what they’re comfortable putting out there. connor gets to decide what he wants people to see, and nobody else gets to dictate whether that’s too little, too much, or somehow not enough.”
THE PUBLIC ISN’T ENTITLED TO MORE OF SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY’VE CHOSEN TO SHARE APART OF THEMSELVES.
THANK YOU HUDSON
And then you wonder why so much AI generated content is being produced. At some point, fanfiction stopped being seen as a creative outlet that people share to bring themselves and others joy, and started being treated as a way to gain status within the fandom.
i keep seeing people referring to fic drives as work being shared without “reward” for the author and i have to be honest, it bothers me that people are posting on ao3 with their main motivation being recognition and reward. wanting comments and engagement is natural, but i think framing it as reward or a return for your work is kind of indicative that you don’t really understand why fanfiction exists to begin with.
fanfiction exists as a way for authors to express themselves, explore characters and identities and try things out. it’s a creative outlet and you should be writing because you want to do it. not because you want the attention it brings. we lose the culture and motivation behind fandom practices when we commodify them.
