the hugo anons

Hello Madeonites.

It’s time. On January 23rd, 2012, one year ago today, this blog was created. Why? We’re still not quite sure. What started as a couple of inside jokes between 10 people has exploded into something much, much larger. There are 450 people following us right now, and we’ve seen references to our posts being made on other blogs and other websites, and even by Hugo himself. The rate at which all of this has spread is amazing. Hugo even owns a plush Lecsquirrel, a silly thing that we created, and he keeps it on his desk at home. We might even be responsible for the fact that most people refer to him as Hugo now rather than Madeon, since before this blog, barely anyone ever called him anything but his stage name.

Thank you everyone for coming along with us on this weird ride. But everything must come to an end. Jokes can be stretched too far and driven into the ground, and after a full year, they start to lose their humor. We don’t want to go down in fanblog history as one of those blogs that kept going until they weren’t funny and became embarrassing. Since this blog started, a lot of things have happened. This blog has changed lives, started relationships, even saved lives. It blows our mind to think about that sometimes, that something so simple and silly could have such a big impact. When we started this blog, Hugo still had a relatively small following, and it has been amazing watching him grow and evolve as an artist and as a person. We made a very conscious effort never to mention anything about this blog directly to Hugo (we only did it once, on his birthday), because we didn’t want to be “one of those blogs” that was pushy and annoying. Before you ask, yes, Hugo was aware of this blog and watched it from afar, as were a few other producers that you probably know.

You might have noticed we’ve gotten quiet over the past few months, and that’s not because we’ve lost interest in Hugo, or in updating this blog. It’s just that our lives have changed quite a lot and other things have gotten in the way. Don’t worry, we’re not going to delete the blog. It’s just going to be inactive. Everything will still be here for you to browse and look through whenever you like.

We’d like to give a shout-out to fyeahmadeon, the oldest Hugo fanblog around, and madeonnn, who is great at finding new pictures and making gifs. Both of those blogs are run by very good friends of ours. Of course, we’d also like to give a shout-out to all of the wonderful, wonderful people we have met and befriended over the past year. We love you all.

Only one of us has ever un-anonned himself, and that’s Nat. Nat has been primarily responsible for most of the content you have seen on this blog since the very beginning. If you’d like, you can follow his personal blog or his Twitter.

So…

…au revoir, nos bons amis.
