#1000thpost

I know the season is only ending tonight but I thought it was the right time to remember all the good (and less good) times we shared in this fandom throughout this beautiful season. So, remember when :

That trailer dropped and Skam France already snatched our wigs and owned our asses.

Some of y'all believed Maxence couldn’t act after his one (1) and only scene in the first episode.

And then he gave That Look™ during the piano scene, shuting up haters with his talent.

The “Scarf Debate” divided us.

Everyone suddenly became expert in astronomy and roman mythology/history thanks to Polaris.

Then also became expert in resolving codes because we are a fandom that is that talented (well some of you are at least, I can’t do anything).

“Fuck yes baby”

We would expect a clip at a certain time because of og or a previous clip but our dear David Baguette wouldn’t deliver and was delighted in seeing us having a collective meltdown.

“Chelou”, “mec”, “putain”, “chanmé”, “surprenant”, entered our daily vocabulary.

Taking super fast screenshots became our very own talent because of that aksjfrlks boy Axel Auriant who can’t post an ig pic or a tweet without deleting it 10 seconds later.

Maxence and Rocco broke Tumblr with their meeting.

Every single Wednesday we would put our clown makeup on and be boo boo le fool all together 🤡 (seriously though we could as well  have created a big circus of clown my mecs).

David turned into a weatherman and made us freak out over his profile pictures on ig.

We made “9:17 : Combien de Lucas dans l’univers” reach 1M views on Youtube ! Our power !

We were freaking out because our babies had fucked in a open first floor room with seemingly fucking gigantic windows in the middle of the school.

So the “Windows Investigation” happened.

Srodulv was found and we discovered what was going through Eliott’s beautiful mind.

We made a ship out of Emma and her lava lamp.

“Mais qu’est-ce, mais qu’est-ce, mais qu’est-ce qu’on nous prépare ? C’est l’anniversaire de David Hourrègue !”

The Bunny Hat™. No need to say more.

Well, it finally happened. I made 1000 posts on this batcrap insane blog of mine on this batcrap insane website! I admit most of these posts were reblogs from other blogs, but they ended up on my blog anyways, thus according to Tumblr Law, it counts. But that’s beside the point.

What I want to say is that in the nine months I’ve been here, I’ve seen and done things I never thought I’d get to say or do. I’ve gotten to share my art, my opinions, speak to some amazing people, and even make friends with them! Admittedly, it hasn’t been all fun and games--I have left some dumb jokes in the comments, made posts that made no sense or made me look like an even bigger idiot than usual, lost followers either for my lack of interesting content or outspoken/uninteresting views, running into jerks, and that one time Tumblr basically initiated Third Impact while simultaneously doing it wrong. But through it all, I’m still here. I’m still having fun. And above all, I’m still glad to be here.

So, in honour of sticking around long enough to make a whopping 1,000 posts and actually getting some decent attention for it, I will present my loyal friends and followers with a gift. A gift from my past that I take great moderate pride in. Something I have been waiting to share with you fine folks for some time: the first short story I ever wrote.

(But first some context!)

Long ago, when I was in Grade 9, there was an assignment in my ELA class where we had to write a short story, as part of learning the basics of telling stories (however long or short they may be). Now, although I had always wanted to write my own story, I didn’t feel very comfortable at first. Not just because I had never written my own story, but the majority of short stories I read for this course were simple, slice-of-life stories that examined the human condition in down-to-Earth situations. So, as a kid who didn’t get out much, didn’t have any major interests in the quiet life (at the time), and who didn’t have a very interesting life, I wasn’t very enthusiastic about writing such a story. But I was enthusiastic about writing something more... imaginative. I wanted to write a sci-fi action story. One that could meet the requirements of the lesson, using the basic story structure I was taught and that contained a central theme; in this case, one based on making connections. I asked my teacher if it was alright to write science-fiction and, thank the Lord, she said it was! And so I did. I admit it wasn’t the best thing ever--there’s sure to be some embarrassing grammatical errors, the story is derivative, the characters a touch one-dimensional, and I might have accidentally deleted a paragraph during the editing process--but it was good enough not only to get praise from my family and my teacher, but it also got full marks! But most importantly, I had a whole lot of fun writing it. I hope that you folks will enjoy reading it just as much.
