continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

Every time I remember that Andy is the same age as me, my mind is blown afresh.

Part of me wonders if his current mental health isn't partially due to him losing the wunderkind bishounen narrative he's clung to so long. His shtick is going to be a lot harder to sell as a 35 year-old man with a beard. Men that age are held to different social standards than "bishounen" in their twenties.

That, and the fact that no one finds him super-duper-special in the industry he's chosen to work in.

I think that's a major reason, yes. That, and the fact that so many people are watching him, and that he needs to appear stable and reliable as he works to establish himself in his field. But I wouldn't be surprised if this:

no one finds him super-duper-special in the industry he's chosen to work in.

eventually frustrates him enough that he slides back into his old ways. Being special is like oxygen to Andy. If he doesn't get it in the industry, he'll get it somewhere else.

Why can I see him ending up work at Unversal Studios repairing the costumes for Harry Potter and claiming he is worked on A secret Harry Potter project?

That is literally my worst nightmare since the UK crowd associated with HP is ... like his wet dream.

We are currently going through a fantasy revival phase with commercial stuff so people done HP themed shops which have quite cool stuff (and architecture).
Unfortunately, half of fans who took it to professional level are Andy's flavour of culty shadiness. Not associated with Universal per say but any other company related such as EA.

It is weirdly strange he never rubbed shoulders with them during his DAYD phase (nor did any of them even read him as far as I know). I do hope the trend lasts as indeed am in this lovely market and the group is a bit easier to deal with than Andy. He probably did not pursue this route as most had maybe assumed it would be over after 7 films and interest would die out.

Would probably name the group if he was not reading comments as they deserve a lot of warnings but ... they do have a very good lure (it took me one glance at website to wish to join as it is with most people) plus destroy people perfectly fine without Andy.
