bardsdaughter1: Excuse my melancholia this morning, but how long now before he is forgotten? The awards season is over…save for the Tonys this summer, which might see one more tribute. His last moments on screen in some capacity will come and go before summer’s heat reaches its zenith. So how long will it be before he disappears from internet searches? How long before he is replaced on Tumblr by the likes of Adam Driver and Kylo Ren? How long before he is relegated to distant memories and occasional mentions during the interviews of other, lesser actors? I know we all vowed that we would keep his memory, his images, and his work alive forever. That his fandom would live…Always. But did we really mean it? Can we do it for more than a day, a month, or a year? Are we willing to? I dare you to answer then prove it. It just might help this heart that can’t seem to completely heal and dreads the day when Alan Rickman disappears from Tumblr, Twitter, and our collective consciousness only to be trotted out on his birthday or death day. Give me real answers, not platitudes. I can handle it. Yes, for some of us his memory and fandom will live on, always and forever.It’s up to us to introduce new people to the work and life of this outstanding person. -- source link
