Eric v. Reid

Apr 20, 2011 14:40

I was working on my very belated write-up about the IHMTD pilot filming, looking through pictures on my computer of both Eric and Eric-as-Reid, working on some graphics, reminiscing about Vermont and Boston... and it hit me, the obvious fact that has been true with me since day one but for some reason never quite impacted me as it randomly did in ( Read more... )

I totally get you. :D

This is how I feel about Eric, and also about Darren Criss on Glee (it's amazing how un-Blaine like he is and I never confuse him for his character, they're that different).

It's funny that you had this moment now though, LOL.

Darren/Blaine isn't an issue for me because I know of Darren BEFORE he was on Glee. And, I'm not nearly as obsessed with him as I am with Eric, lol. I think that's a big part of it, too. I was so hooked by ATWT, and not because of friends or anything like ultimately happened with Glee, but because Reid/Eric just clicked with me and I found myself seeking others who felt the same.

And Eric is NOTHING like Reid, lol xD Reid would have been appalled by him in Vermont -- wearing old jeans and a t-shirt, still a little sweaty from the show, hanging out in a bar. Eric is a bit of a slob in real life, xD And personality wise, he's SO MODEST. Basically, he's like the anti-Reid xD So it was never that. It's the general fact that for ages, when I saw Eric, I still saw Reid on some level. Now, when I see Reid, I see Eric. Does that make sense?

It does. :D

I didn't know you'd gone to the filming. How cool! But yeah, I know what you mean. :)

Ha, yeah. I was kinda keeping it under wraps until I got back because I had people bugging me about it before I even knew for sure I was going =P So I just wanted to be able to enjoy it for myself, no pressure. I do plan to eventually post a write-up on ESS.com forums, though, and here. Eventually.. xD

it was even that way at the end of the show. when Luke was sitting on the couch looking at the flyer of the Neruo wing & they had his picture on the front every single one of us on the RO page on FB said why'd they put a picture of Eric on there & not one of him as Reid, it was that different.
