Call me Kelly. I’m a brazilian fan of Alexander Skasgard.

I appreciate your community about him on facebook. I know your fan blog now and like the themes, titles and pictures, of course. Wonderful!!!

I met Alex through the work in True Blood. I admit that at first glance, I thought it was only a handsome man, but then, knowing their job better, I can say that his beauty is equal to his immense talent. Alex was born to shine.

I also could not fail to mention that his personality really surprises me. In some interviews I read, I can see that he is fantastic and so I admire him even more. … fantastic, beautiful and talented. Not to mention the most beautiful smile I have ever seen

Ally, if you have contact with him, do not hesitate to say that in Brazil there is anyone who has a fondness for it huge, and always pray that he shine more and more. I do not know how I could be useful to you or to the blog, but in need can count on me. Thank you for giving color to my days with your news and photos about Alex. Hugs to you, to Maribel and the entire team.

Back in 2008 I started to watch the HBO series True Blood out of curiosity, because I’ve always liked vampires.  So I started to watch it but I didn’t get attracted to the main vampire at that moment, played by an obscure unknown actor called Stephen Moyer.

So more or less I continued watching the series, but in episode 4, a tall blond guy with the looks of a Viking made his debut.  Since the first moment I saw him he intrigued me, more or less the same way an unknown Australian actor called Hugh Jackman impressed me in the X-Men movies.

So I finished season 1 and next year season 2 started, I remember telling other people about the Viking guy, by that time I didn’t even know his name, but I was more curious about him.
Then, the scene with Godric in the roof came.  The Viking guy impressed me with his intensity, how well he transmitted the feelings of the scene.  Vampire Eric was begging his maker not to meet the sun.  Perhaps that was the moment I’ve realized the Viking guy could act.  But still I was infatuated by my other favorite fictional character, Wolverine, played by my only #1 fave actor back then; Hugh Jackman.

By Season 3 I really was hook on the Viking, by a friend, who was mesmerized by his looks, without knowing it, I became obsessed about the actor behind Eric Northman, at that moment I started to google his name:  Alexander Skarsgård, and I started to visit pages dedicated to him.  So that was the moment Wolverine got a rival, a Viking vampire….LOL… the first time I liked another actor the same way I liked Hugh Jackman.

So by the end of 2010 I realized I was obsessed  with Alexander Skarsgård and the character of Eric Northman.  After TB 3rd season I read the books that supposedly inspired the series and guess what, I fell in love even more with the Viking vampire.

So by 2011 I started to visit several facebook pages dedicated to the Viking, among them Skarssgarding, Sisters in Skarsgård and ASFB.  So there I met Ally, Lori, Meg, Bianca, Elena and so many other fabulous fans of the Viking.  Then, Ally offered me to be administrator of both her pages and I accepted.  Soon after, Lori invited me to be a moderator of her Sisters in Skarsgård page and I accepted too.

Currently on Facebook I’m a moderator of the following pages:

I also have my own page dedicated to some of my favorite actors: Sexy beasts from Fangtasia, and of course ASkars is featured on it.

Ok, why I like Alexander Skarsgård so much?

1- He’s a superb actor, the scene with Godric, season 4, showed how well he uses his eyes expressions, how he changes his tone of voice, his body language…. It is amazing how expressive he is.  While Hugh Jackman’s asset is his versatility, Alexander uses his body language and his facial expressions brilliantly…   Despite the disaster of S4, Alex was the only good there.  Even though stupid Anna Paquin was unable to get into the skin of Sookie Stackhouse, the scenes she made with Alex were worth seeing because of him.

2-  His looks, damn it, he’s so sexy, even if he wears a bag of potatoes, he looks gorgeous.

3- He seems to be so genuine, when other actors not as talented as him have big egos, he seems to be nice. All reports say he’s nice to his fans.  He does his thing and he doesn’t mind to repeat clothes…LOL….

4- He hangs with aliens…LOL… he loves to have fun… after all he deserves it!  Go Alex!

5- His overbite, I think that makes him real…

Even though I’m so upset with TB and I have no interest on the series, I will still watch S5 because Alexander Skarsgård is still there.
So who’s my #1 favorite actor at this moment?  Currently it is a tie between the Wolverine and the Viking…. LOL

Season 4: Eric is Dazed and Confused

***SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT***

March 5th, Alexander Skarsgard attended PaleyFest 2011 Presents True Blood at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, California.

Alex joined in a panel with co-stars Anna Paquin and her husband Stephen Moyer, along with True Blood creator Alan Ball, and other of the cast members of True Blood. The panel included a crowded amount with 17 members in attendance. Alan Ball, Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Alexander Skarsgård, Carrie Preston, Chris Bauer, Deborah Ann Woll, Jim Parrack, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Alejandro, Kristin Bauer, Marschall Allman, Nelsan Ellis, Rutina Wesley, Ryan Kwanten, Sam Trammell and Todd Lowe.

Rumors are flying around that in Season 4 Alan Ball may return to plot lines within the Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse books. Any and every fan of Alexander (Eric Northman) are keeping their fingers crossed.

During the panel, Alex confirmed that Eric will have amnesia. Fans may assume the story line will start up with Dead to the World (Book 4) and possibly have aspects from that book. How close it will lend to the book? We’ll have to wait and see when True Blood, Season 4 starts June 12th. 

“Things are definitely not stable for Eric,” Alexander said about his character’s upcoming storyline. “He doesn’t know who he is anymore. He’s very lost.”

To answer an ongoing question many Eric Northman fans have,  Will Sookie and Eric get together this season? Anna Paquin did her best to deflect the question of whether Sookie will act on her attraction to Eric next season, and Alex mouthed, “It happens.” So we shall see just how that plays out! Is it June yet?!

Alexander and “Kon-Tiki”

Speculation have been in high debate over the Internet since Alexander was snapped by the paparazzi reading a script entitled Kon-Tiki. (See January Photos)

Here’s more info on Kon-Tiki from Skarsgårdnews.com:

“Alex has been offered the part already, but, as some news sites are reporting, he has not said yes to it yet. (He’s just now reading the script!) So, for right now, it’s just marked as a possible project.”

Oh, and on a happy side note Skarsgardnews.com also reports: “Alex will be doing talk shows for the premiere of season 4 of True Blood! No details yet on which ones, but as I reported previously, they all want him on their shows!”

“I’m more playful…”

Alexander on playing Brad (Generation Kill) and Eric (True Blood) – “I can definitely relate to them. But I’m different in real life. They’re subdued and calm; I’m more playful. I’m pretty intense when it comes to relationships, platonic ones as well. If I feel a connection with someone, I’m willing to go there.”

13 ASkars words make it into UrbanDictionary.com

A few months ago, I was lucky enough to get a word published in the UrbanDictionary.com. I had looked up Skarstarved and wrote an article, “Are We Skarstarved“ on it. Then I decided I would try to write a definition too. Skarsgarding got submitted and accepted, and the rest is history. Since then a few of our moderators in the AS Fan Blog have submitted words and have gotten those published too. We are writing our on ASkars dictionary. Well, not really. But it’s an idea Be sure to visit the links below and give each word a “Thumbs Up” vote. Thanks and Happy Skarsgarding! ~ally

And a few examples of how to use these words. Feel free to post your example too.

Skarsaholics enjoy skarslusting while skargarding, especially if they are skarstarved.

Skarsgaholics do not like being taken away from skarsgarding by work.

Ally is skarslusting while skarsgarding.

Ally is a confessed skarsaholic, skarsguardian, and Skarsgirl.

The AS Fan Blog has a lot of Skarsgirls in it.

Hoping for a Skarsunami when Season 4 of True Blood hits!

Buying Skarsporn inspired gifts for non-ASkars friends may not be such a good holiday gift idea.

How large is your Skarsporn stash?

When a season of True Blood ends, the goal is to keep Skarsgarding so you don’t become too Skarstarved.
