Alan Rickman ... I have nothing more clever to offer in the way of titles than that

G-dmanit, Alan Rickman. I've loved you since I was, like, ten and Hans Gruber was the hottest piece of Euro-Trash to ever walk across a theatre screen. And then you did that wimpy, fake American accent so that Bruce Willis wouldn't kill you (so menancing and so smart). I was yours. But you know what really did it? What really put the nail in the OTL? Prince of Thieves. The line about the spoon. That was it. My heart was yours and I loved you forever after. Sheepish, vaguely awkward Harry in Love, Actually; the ferociously noble yet gentle Colonel Brandon, sarcastic Dr. Lazarus in Galaxy Quest; and do I have to even mention Severus Snape ...

And then I found out that you've been in love with the same woman since you were 19. I'm sad for her. Sad for the loss of you. RIP, Alan Rickman. You will be sorely and most deeply missed.
