#Trente ans

[uneessencesensible]

Trente balais, ça se fête, non ?

La première année où je fais quelque chose pour moi, sans demander mon reste. Sans me poser de questions. C'est peut être con, vu comme ça, mais c'est libérateur de faire des choses seule, sans avoir besoin de qui que ce soit autour de soi. J'aime mes proches plus que tout, mais je n'ai pas besoin d'eux pour sortir désormais. Je me libère peu a peu de ma dépendance affective, de ma peur de ne pas être assez bien. À trente ans, je prends davantage confiance en moi et je suis apaisée d'aimer et d'être aimée. Oui, apaisée. Ce ne sont plus des montagnes russes qui m'accompagnent, tout au long de la journée, mais une paix intérieure qui me permet de vivre sereinement chaque instant seule ou accompagnée. Cela m'a fait peur, quand je m'en suis réellement aperçue, de cette "victoire". Je suis de nature, de base, à ressentir tellement de choses à la fois, de façon démesurée que ce soit le bon comme le mauvais. Cela m'épuisait et j'en avais marre. Mais désormais, c'est de moins en moins le cas. C'est beaucoup pour moi. Je savoure davantage. La thérapeute m'a dit que j'allais être bouleversée encore par cette prise de conscience. C'est vrai. Mais surtout... Je suis fière de moi. Certes, j'y arrive a trente ans. Je vis réellement depuis six, sept ans et j'ai commencé ma thérapie il y a deux ans et demi. Et en deux ans et demi, je suis à a des années lumières de ce que j'étais il y a six, sept ans. Alors rien que ça, et pour une fois, je suis contente de prendre un an de plus. Je passe un cap qui me rend fière.

Mon amour a fait ce qu'il fallait pour que je n'oublie pas ma journee. Rien qu'avoir le petit déjeuner de fait, une bonne journée avec lui, le repas de préparé, c'était déjà très bien. Il a pris sa journée pour moi, et j'étais contente. Un réel amour, même s'il pense le contraire. Il ne se voit pas. Finalement, on est bien fait pour être ensemble. L'un et l'autre, on ne se voit pas tel que nous sommes, mais nous voyons l'autre comme il devrait se voir. On se complète si bien. ❤️

Kiffe kiffe hier ?

Entre « Kiffe, kiffe demain », le premier roman de Faïza Guène, et « Kiffe, kiffe hier », vingt ans se sont écoulés. L'heure d'un bilan qui n'est guère reluisant, mais surtout le moment de repartir au front avec une folle envie d'émancipation.

  En deux mots Doria a 35 ans. Si elle vit toujours dans le 9.3 sa situation n’a rien d’une sinécure. Elle vit séparée de son mari Steve en attendant que le divorce soit prononcé, cherche du travail et essaie d’excuser Adam, son fils de sept ans, pour son comportement en classe. Armée d’un humour cinglant et soutenue par quelques amis, elle tente de s’en sortir… Ma note ★★★ (bien aimé) Ma…

La maîtresse explique aux enfants qu'une personne précoce c'est quelqu'un qui fait des choses bien plus tôt que la plupart des autres personnes. Puis, elle demande : - Qui peut me citer une personne précoce ? - Moi, madame, répond Toto. Il y a Mozart ! - Très bien. Et pourquoi peut-on dire que Mozart était précoce ? - Parce qu'il est mort à trente-cinq ans !

my lab rats hyperfixation came back and i've been doing some thinking ever since

so from the start of the show there have been multiple references to comic book heroes especially dc references

(leo saying "my new dad is batman" in the first episode and douglas calling chase "boy wonder", referencing to robin)

well since mighty med ans lab rats take place in the same universe, mighty med characters are also comic book characters and dc is a comic book series, are they in the same universe?

no because imagine superman and tecton in the same room😭😭

or bruce with his "brucie" wayne personality being "friends" with donald davenport(they cant stand eachother)

donald davenport would 100% sell his inventions to lex luthor for a really pricy deal

or chase, bree, adam and leo going to same school with tim, bernard and darla lmao

i think adam would listen and add onto bernards theories(leo would call him delusional but also would be interested)

bernard made a theory about them being bionic but darla shut it down('i told you so' and 'aha i knew it!' were the first things he said when he found out about the truth)

darla would absolutely eat trent up i just know it

young justice and elite force team up with tim and bree/chase seeing eachother and going like the spiderman meme

damian and leo being friends(lethal duo warning!!)

also damian would've believed leo during the whole marcus fiasco

leo would push damian into reading comics and damian would push leo to read mangas(canon information)

talia and horace both know eachother from being in the same field(medical) they are the type of friends who say hi and talk like 4 hours when they run into eachother but then dont talk until the next time

bree would've loved exploring her girlhood with cass, steph, harper and babs(and darla) since she never got to

marcus, taylor, rose and jason would get along very well and love talking shit about their fathers🥰

i think daniel would love duke(they played video games together later on duke let daniel absorb his powers and tried to teach him how to control it exactly)

taylor, damian, leo is a trio i would die to see tbh i think they would get along well

cassandra and skylar teaming up with eachother would be absolutely amazing. i think they would work together so well

I HAVE MORE LATER I LOVE THIS CROSSOVER SM!!

Oui, tu leur diras

Oui, tu leur diras que l’amour existe et qu’il a toujours un après

Il faut s’aimer très fort et ça ne s’apprend pas.

On a vingt ans, trente ans et puis un jour soixante

Et pour s’aimer toujours, toi tu leur diras

Ça ne s’apprend pas

Ça ne s’apprend pas

Il y a d’abord l’aube dans le lointain des jours

Des corps qui se désirent comme de jeunes loups

Affamés et rompus au rythme de l’amour

Puis les serments du temps qui au fil des jours

S’effritent comme le mur que lézarde le temps

Des temps qui se retrouvent, des temps qui s’effilochent

On a peur, on se traque et pourtant…

Toi, tu leur diras que l’amour existe

Et qu’il y a toujours un après

Un temps où l’on se voit comme on est

Un temps où l’on se reconnaît

Et où l’on se rend grâces d’avoir survécu au naufrage du temps

À la grâce de Dieu qui nous a donné la vue

L’amour aveugle que d’autres ont ignoré

Toi, tu leur diras que l’on peut aimer

Que si le corps se lasse il y a d’autres vertus

Pour un prince des ténèbres qui a pu nous tenter

Combien de tendresse, combien de déchirements

Mais pour aimer, il faut être un enfant

Il faut tant de candeur, tant d’étonnement

Oui, tu leur diras que le bateau appartient à l’écume

Et l’écume au port

Où l’on revient toujours…

" Are you sure he's ok with me coming? "

The Hungarian was usually laid back, relaxed which meant that not a lot affects him yet this was quite different than anything he had truly experienced, here he was - accompanying his new teammate whom he had quickly befriended to go spend time in the gaffer's house, He certainly wasn't nervous about many things yet this was certainly the kind of experience you'd feel nervous about.

Trent waved off his concerns with a chuckle, " Relax bro, the boss is cool with us, besides I want you to meet someone "

Dominik's arrival to the mersyside was a smooth sail, this was the team he had always wanted to play for; with such an opportunity he was able to blend in rather easily, what had made things quite nerve wrecking was the arrival of none other than Xabi Alonso who had taken the reigns of coaching following Klopp's departure, Dominik idolized the Spaniard along with Steven Gerrard, hence why working under him had been quite the experience,

" Who? " Dominik wondered.

" Y/N, the boss's daughter " Trent responds.

The name sparks recognition in his eyes, he recalls hearing tidbits during training, about how a certain Y/N would often visit the training center, offering a variety of delectable treats thanks to her work as a baker. " Oh? " he hums.

" She's pretty amazing " Trent states, " I've known her for as long as I've known Jon "

Jon was Xabi's only son along with his daughters, Y/N, Ane and Emma.

Dominik nods swiftly, smiling. " If you say so "

The duo arrive to Xabi's home, and were greeted by Xabi who lead them to the back garden where he along with Jon were seated, Xabi noted Trent's inquisitive look and chuckled, " She's in the kitchen helping Nagore with dinner, she'll be out in a minute "

The phrasing had drawn Dominik's attention, sparking curiosity in him - he wondered if there was more to Trent and Y/N's relationship than what meets the eye, he greets Jon then sits down next to Trent, all four of them falling into a natural conversation regarding football - suddenly, the sound of the back garden door captures his attention, his eyes landing on what he could only describe as the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

" Hi boys " She beamed, placing the tray of rolled pizzas on the table before greeting Trent by embracing him, then she turned to Dominik and extended her hand. " It's nice to finally meet the newest player Aita is chatting about "

Dominik laughs, shaking her hand. " Hopefully good things "

She smirks, " Of course, and I've done my research "

Dominik's cheeks were flaming as he sat down, while she turned to Xabi and said. " I'm going to go and get you the lemonade "

" Ok " Xabi smiles.

That night, she joined them and the night was spent with laughter, good vibes and a new found realization for the Hungarian, he was a goner for her, she truly was everything Trent described her to be and then some - however there was just one obstacle, or in this case two obstacles.

She was the gaffer's daughter. And he wasn't certain if Trent liked her solely as a friend or more.

The following weeks were spent in an internal debate, he had managed to spend one on one time with Y/N thanks to her numerous visits to the training center, as well as him paying several visits when he can to her bakery, she had been nothing short of friendly, welcoming and an all around incredible person that had unknowingly stolen his heart, and with his newfound emotions he had decided to speak to the only person that knew her well enough to help him.

During training, Dominik had approached Trent. " Hey, I need help? "

Trent tilts his head, confusion itched across his features. " What's up? "

Dominik chews his bottom lip, remaining silent for a brief minute before he said. " Is Y/N single? "

To say the question had surprised the Scouser would be a complete understatement, Trent knew Y/N, she wasn't truly big about the notion of love, believing that she's better off alone. " Yes, she is, why do you ask? "

Dominik's cheeks grow warm, which in turn had Trent's eyes widen in realization. " You like her? " Trent whispered with a smile.

" She's incredible, I didn't think it could happen but she stole my heart, the way she talks, the way she carries herself, she's unlike any girl I have met " Dominik sighs with a smile. " Do you think there's a chance? "

Trent grows silent, before shrugging. " She's a laid back person like us, so I'm sure she will but you have to be careful, I mean she is the boss's daughter "

Dominik nods, looking at Xabi who was chatting with his assistant coach. " I'm going to try my luck and see where it goes "

Indeed, he did - Dominik had approached Y/N and was surprised at her openness to his affection, the pair had developed a beautiful bond that was met with acceptance on Xabi, Jon and Trent's part as well as her mother yet as the months continued to roll, an uneasy feeling developed at the pit of Trent's abdomen, the kind of feeling that resembled a pang of dejection laced with envy which could only mean one thing.

Trent was jealous of Dominik, and that meant that Trent was in love with Y/N.

The mere fact had taken three weeks to settle, three weeks full of internal debates and utter confusion - how could he be in love with the girl he had always viewed as a confidant, as just a friend? Y/N was his person, a platonic person up until this point, he was certain of his emotions, however the last thing he wanted was to ruin her happiness with Dominik.

That night, Dominik invited him over for a competitive game of FIFA which at first was purely friendly until Dominik had noticed Trent's aggressive way of pushing the buttons, " Trent, are you ok? " he asks.

" Yeah " Trent responds curtly, refusing to look him in the eye so as to not lose his composure.

Dominik wasn't convinced at the slightest, yet opted not to pry until Trent released a groan of frustration when his team lost. He pauses the game, " Ok, what's up? "

Trent lets out a soft sigh, " Nothing "

The pair continued to play yet Dominik couldn't help but wonder if Trent was feeling off due to his closeness to Y/N, that prompted the Hungarian to ask further, " What's wrong? "

" I like Y/N " Trent blurts out.

Dominik froze, his eyes widening in shock. " Oh? "

Trent chews on his bottom lip, " Listen, Dominik, I have been ... " he sighs, " I have been struggling with this for a while, it's a big reason why I have been avoiding you and Y/N but, after thinking it over, I think it's best if I keep my distance from the two of you, just at least until I'm able to to move forward from these emotions "

" Does Y/N know? " Dominik asks him.

Trent shakes his head, " I don't want her to know, she's happy with you bro, and I don't want to ruin her happiness, so if she asks, just tell her that I'm busy "

Dominik nods in understanding, " I appreciate you telling me Trent, and I'm sorry if I came in the way of the two of you "

" No bro " Trent laughed, " If anything, I have never seen her this happy until she met you, so you better take care of her "

" I will " Dominik smiles.

A few weeks had passed since their conversation, Trent had opted to find the courage to admit his reasoning for why he was avoiding Y/N thanks in part to Dominik's encouragement, he had arranged for the pair to have lunch at their favorite restaurant, while the pair were eating - Trent blurts out, " I'm sorry "

Y/N's brows knot in confusion, " Why? "

Trent inhales then exhales a deep breath, " I was avoiding you this entire time, because I .... I -erm- " he sighs, " I was jealous of your relationship with Dominik "

Her eyes widened, " Oh? "

" You two were growing close and it made me feel uneasy, and when I sat with myself I realized that it was because I loved you, a lot and it hurt to see you with someone else " Trent states.

To say that Y/N was surprised would be an understatement, her father had joked about this, so did her mother yet she never really took it to heart, Trent was just her close friend, up until now. " I don't know what to say "

Trent smiles, " You don't have to, I'm in a better place now, you're happy with Dominik and that's all that matters "

Y/N forces a smile, feeling quite dejected by the fact that she had never noticed. " Why didn't you tell me? "

" I was scared, but now I know that I value you too much to ruin your happiness, so like I said, I'm in a better place now. I just want to make sure that you're happy " Trent grins, " You are, aren't you? "

" I am " Y/N nods with a soft smile, " Dominik makes me happy, I love him "

Trent smiles widely, feeling a sense of relief at seeing her happiness evident across her features, " I am glad to hear it, I'll kill if he hurts you "

Y/N smiled, " Thank you for telling me Trent, I don't want to lose you as a friend "

" You won't Y/N, you won't ever lose me " Trent assures her, feeling relieved that he was able to pass through this without any hassle.

Ma vie J'ai eu vingt ans et bientôt trente, les quarante ont suivi et aussi les cinquante et bien plus... , avec quelques unités pour perturber les comptes. J'ai lu des magazines qui parlaient de mes rides, de bouchers qui taillaient dans les bides et remontaient des seins à la file comme dans les usines pour les automobiles. Rester jeune, peu importe le prix ! Info, intox, il paraît même que le botox... Alors, là, moi, j'dis stop. Remonter le temps ? Avoir encore vingt ans ? Ça va pas, non ? Tu sais quoi ? J'ai pas le temps ! Demain, dans un mois, dans un an, j'irai me balader pas très loin sur la plage et je ramasserai des galets arrondis que je colorierai aux couleurs du bonheur. Je lirai des légendes, écouterai des contes et puis les offrirai à qui voudra entendre. Je me ferai des amis, au hasard sur la toile, dans la rue ou au bar; on discutera jusqu'au bout de la nuit de la vie, de l'amour et de la mort aussi. Demain, dans un mois, dans un an, j'aurai les bras câlins de mes petits enfants à mon cou enroulés pour mieux me protéger. Mes enfants seront là et nous nous sourirons, heureux d'avoir su traverser sans sombrer les tempêtes, les naufrages et puis quelques orages. Il m'arrivera encore de chanter, de danser et de me régaler de gâteaux, de bonbons, de p'tits plats mijotés sans penser aux kilos ou bien à ma santé. Demain, dans un mois, dans un an, je sortirai la nuit avec tous les hiboux et verrai le soleil sur la mer se lever. Je marcherai longtemps en goûtant le silence J'aimerai les odeurs de la mousse en automne et du foin en été et le chant des cigales et le soleil brûlant. J'écouterai toujours le malheur qui se plaint. J'éprouverai encore les bouffées de colère face à la bêtise et la haine étalées. Jamais ni l'injustice ni l'infamie je n'accepterai et lèverai en l'air, mon poing avec rage ! Demain, dans un mois, dans un an... Et si la mort survient, car elle survient toujours, la garce, elle me trouvera debout, occupée et ridée.

Les verbes modaux

Can - present pouvoir (tu peux partir maintenant - you can leave now)*

Could/May/Might - imperfect pouvoir (tu pourrais partir - you could leave)

Have to - present impersonal verb falloir + infinitive or que + subjunctive (il faut que tu partes - it is necessary that you leave)

Must - present devoir (tu dois partir - you must leave)

Ought to - present conditional impersonal verb falloir + infinitive or que + subjunctive (Il faudrait que tu partes - You ought to leave)

Shall/Will - simple future second verb (tu partiras ce soir - you will leave tonight)

Should - present conditional devoir (tu devrais partir - you should leave)

Would - present conditional second verb(j'aimerais partir - I would like to leave)

*this verb typically means being able to: "I can't speak French" would be translated as "I don't speak French" or "I don't know how to speak French", using pouvoir means you are physically unable to do so ie I can't run because my leg is broken.

While auxiliary verbs are the first half of compound tenses and moods, semi-auxiliary verbs are used with another verb left in the present infinitive form to express an influence of their meaning, tense, mood, or aspect - some are the equivalent of modal verbs, others are simply verbs of perception. When not followed by an infinitive verb, those are not considered semi-auxiliary anymore.

Stative verbs (to be, to remain, to feel) express a state rather than an action. They usually relate to thoughts, emotions, relationships, senses, states of being and measurements and cannot be used as the introduction of a gerund (je rentre en marchant but je suis en marchant*).

Impersonal verbs can only be conjugated in the masculine form of the third person singular: il doesn't refer to a person (il pleut - it's raining).

Automne 1926 - Champs-les-Sims

3/3

J'espère pouvoir t'annoncer une bonne nouvelle sous peu, et qui sais, peut-être que cela te fera plaisir car tu ne pense pas (comme Antoine), que j'ai en quelques sortes gâché ma vie. J'ai été surprise, car de tous mes proches, c'est sans doute lui qui l'a pris le plus mal. Papa a estimé que j'étais un peu jeune pour déjà me marier, mais il n'a pas insisté quand je lui ai dit que c'était mon souhait.

J'ai heureusement pu rencontrer mes petites soeurs ! Elles sont adorables, surtout Julienne, et elles se ressemblent autant que Cléo et moi. C'est vraiment étrange de les voir et de constater que mes propres enfants auront sensiblement le même âge.

Je voulais conclure en revenant sur ce que tu mentionnais à propos de vos problèmes financiers. Par expérience, je sais que ce n'est pas facile à admettre comme genre de problème. Je suis flattée que tu te confies à moi et je veux que tu saches qu'en cas de besoin, je peux y pourvoir. Je ne pense pas me vanter ou être impudente en affirmant que les affaires familiales vont assez bien pour entretenir le nouveau foyer de mes parents à Alexandrie, les chambres d'Antoine et Cléo à Paris, le pensionnat de Jean-François ou encore les besoins de Sélène (en tous cas jusqu'à son mariage). Sache que tu n'as qu'à demander.

Je te souhaites le meilleur,

Ta cousine, la nouvellement nommée Arsinoé Le Bris de Chastel

P.S. Vois-tu, je porte une particule désormais ! Je pense que si notre ancêtre commun en était témoin, il ne le croirait pas.

Transcription :

Arsinoé « Antoine. Je comprends tes inquiétudes. Mais tu n’étais pas là. Il fallait que je réagisse rapidement. »

Marc-Antoine « Pourquoi tu ne m’a pas appelé ? Nous aurions trouvé une solution tous les deux… Tu sais que je suis là, que tu peux me demander ce que tu veux et que j’aurais fait n’importe quoi... »

Arsinoé « Tu n’aurais rien pu faire. Il faut que tu acceptes que cette fois-ci, tu ne pouvais rien pour moi. Tu ne m’as ni trahie, ni laissée tomber. Sans compter que la situation aurais pu être pire. Cette solution est idéale, même si elle ne te convient pas. »

Marc-Antoine « C’est juste que voir Grand-Mère jubiler à ce point, ça m’a mis tellement en colère. »

Arsinoé « Mais pourquoi ? »

Marc-Antoine « Je… ça ne semblait pas bien. C’est ta vie, pas la sienne. »

Arsinoé « Antoine… Accepte qu’il n’y avait pas d’autre solution. Tu sais, nous avons discuté avec Ange. Longuement. De toute ce qui allait se passer, de ce que nous voulions tous les deux. Nous sommes satisfaits. »

Marc-Antoine « Alors… C’est vraiment ce que tu veux ? »

Arsinoé « Oui, vraiment. Mais de toute façon, ce serait un peu tard pour renoncer. J’aurais pu te le dire si tu m’avais parlé avant plutôt que de bouder comme un enfant jusqu’à la cérémonie. »

Marc-Antoine « Pardon... »

Marc-Antoine « Et maintenant ? »

Arsinoé « Maintenant ? Je vais retourner à mon travail jusqu’à ce que je sois trop fatiguée, puis je prendrai de longues semaines de repos dans le jardin d’hiver jusqu’à la naissance. Et après, je commencerai ma vie de mère. Et toi alors ? »

Marc-Antoine « Et bien… Je vais retourner à Paris terminer l’école. Puis je reviendrai ici le plus tôt possible. Pour Aurore bien sur, mais aussi parce que Kleber et Raoul veulent créer une liste communiste pour la mairie et que je pense saisir ma chance. Avec mes connaissances à Paris, je vais gagner une vraie légitimité. »

Arsinoé « Avec un tel programme, tu seras député avant trente ans. »

Marc-Antoine « N’exagère rien ! Mais je pense qu’il faut faire une différence, se battre pour ses convictions. Et t’épauler bien sur. Il ne sera jamais dit que je laisse tomber ma grand-sœur, jamais ! C’est ce que Grand-Père Maximilien a toujours fait, veiller sur sa famille, et je vais prendre le relai. »

Arsinoé « Alors c’est formidable ! Tous les enfants Le Bris vont suivre leur rêve. Oh, ne me regardes pas comme ça, je m’incluais dans le lot ! »

Could you do some headcanons for Gary or Trent, and my oc, Suki? Thanks if U do!

Yesss ofccccc Gary and Trent will be posted now and ill give suki her own special post ^v^

TRENT NORTHWICK & GARY SMITH HCS

GARY SMITH

Gary…. Gary Gary Gary oh how you were so so so wasted by not being in free roam. I guess if i strain i can kinda see why he wasn’t around because, naturally people would incessantly kick the shit out of him

Biggest gossiper in the school, knocks Christy out of the park. He’s really really good at starting rumours because he knows just the right amount of ludicrous bullshit that needs to be added in order to make people want to spread it, while not having it die off by making it completely and utterly bonkers.

The slouch is definitely purposeful, he thought that standing up too straight would make him look too nerdy so he defaulted to this sort of weird grinch/ dr doom pose, he pays for this decision with really bad neck and upper back cramps but he’s simply too cool for meds of any kind including pain meds. Often what he does to get a kick out of Petey is to crack his neck really close to his ear ans laugh as poor Pete squirms in discomfort.

Got stuck in the Regina George headgear/back brace combo after jimmy threw them both of the roof into crabblesnitch’s office after the final showdown. He was in the hospital for a good long while, recuperating and making up for lost time on his meds before he was carted off to happy volts

Wrote down every single aspect of his plan for total bullworth domination in excruciating detail in a notebook that he kept tucked under his mattress, the first page was entitled “GARY’S EVIL PLAN” in all caps, in a heavy metal font, in red sharpie that bled through the next few pages. He would add to it nightly, and check stuff off when he was done with it. Insanely stupid and equally, insanely funny.

Doesn’t actually talk that way, like at all, its very much an act that he uses to make himself seem all cool and mysterious. He’s only ever slipped once or twice, and then instantly got on the defensive and gaslit whoever heard him (most likely poor Pete) its commitment to the bit that most could only dream of obtaining.

Got in so much shit for his special little bullworth vest, its technically not in violation of any uniform policies, a fact that he valiantly defended against the prefects, the faculty and everyone else that questioned it until they eventually just let him off with it.

Definitely a promising young politician if they decide he’s stable enough to leave happy volts, he’s charismatic, not terrible with words, and just generally immoral. He’s the perfect politician for the modern age.

TRENT NORTHWICK

Trent Trent Trent,i know a theatre kid when i see one. Definitely big on the more modern stuff compared the the older musicals, he just prefers the style of singing a little better, he finds it more expressive. However, he’ll take west side story over hamilton any day, dont get it twisted.

He saves money as best he can and goes to voice lessons pretty regularly, as well as intermittent dance lessons. He knows to make it in Hollywood you’ve got to be a triple threat and he certainly does plan to be a triple threat when he eventually runs off into the sunset to pursue his dream of going to audition after audition until he eventually lands himself a starring role in an allergy medicine commercial

Takes pride in his appearance, every few weeks he bleaches his roots and trims his own hair. He’s the only one that knows how to do it the way he likes, and it saves a lot of money for his voice lessons

Trent is a very thoughtful friend, he acts all aloof to save face but he likes to remember the little things about his friends, birthdays, favourite foods, so on and so forth. Enough to make him look good but not enough to make it look creepy or obsessive. He’s got a reputation to uphold damn it! But also he just wants to do right by his friends

He wants to let people know that he’s a man of many emotions, that’s why acting is such a good outlet for him, its not really acting, its his true self that’s simply being read as an act

Such a big sentimentalist, Trent is a scrapbooker, he keeps everything, no matter how small or insignificant seeming, dates it and sticks it in his scrapbook. He figures once he gets some sort of neurological condition from all the head trauma he’ll be able to look back on his high school years, lovingly documented by his teenage self

He was kinda bummed when Kirby dragged him out of line during movie tickets, he was all for going to see that movie, in fact he’d already found a leaked version of it online so he could look really tough during the scary parts and maybe hold Kirby’s hand if and i mean IF the smaller jock had gotten scared. It’s not a huge deal though, after Kirby had calmed down a little, they went and threw rocks into open windows at Harrington House

Of all the kissable boys, i think Trent is hard to beat in terms of accepting his sexuality. Trent is pretty vocal about his bisexuality, and doesnt really give two shits if people are offended by it. This is a kid who really knows himself, and the Trentman never claimed to be a man of the people, he strives to be his true, authentic self as far as the parameters of a high school bully in 2006 will allow, and for that i salute him.
