i know it's really pathetic to have a parasocial relationship with a dead actor bla bla bla but how can i not be actually upset, annoyed or angry about people constantly talking derogative about Vic, about his looks, weight or "campy" acting when he's the the bullied kid to me who was always larger than the others, the one who only found his tribe when he started to do Shakespeare at the Globe, the teenager that was described as "wise" when he was just in high school, who always seemed older than he was and was always so nice to everyone, who turned pain into comedy, who was so good with kids and played Santa Claus with so much care for years, who was so generous with his time and advice, who everyone who met him just had wonderful things to say about, who hated to be typed as bad guy because it made people associate him with that image, who had an immense work ethic, who loved to bake bread, swim, read, visit junkyards because they had funny names and wait for snow. he's this whole person to me i've made people tell me so many stories about. i never knew him, didn't even get the chance to meet him, but i do feel kind of close to him. like he's the friend of a friend. he's in my life, as if he knows the people i know, i keep hearing about him but i haven't actually met him. and when people talk about him like that they talk about a two dimensional image, i get it, it's normal to talk about random actors that way. but i do think that often it lacks a lot of respect and i wonder why. it's that weird dude who also talked in this mocking tone about him over and over but unlike him others don't randomly grow wise and apologize.
