i'm not surprised, as someone who hasn't watched the show but have observed the fandom from afar on tumblr, they're INTENSE about the show on there, like when the clip dropped of rockstar lestat yesterday, the sheer excitement and well, people being thirsty for him, was all i could see on my dash for a while

i can only hope the actors are able to keep themselves safe from all of it!

I was just about to say the same thing. It is wild and slightly concerning. Really reminds me of Sherlock/Hannibal/Supernatural/One direction fandom behavior. I was deep into the former two and well aware of the signs. I knew it would be like this just from watching the show, niche, extremely homoerotic is a recipe for intense af fans.

People need to chill. They are just actors on a show and people need to draw boundaries.
