#this isnt even getting into the whole field day fergie solo debacle

Who is the famous dude who was in your 4th grade class? Spill

ok so the LAST time i complained about a famous person who went to my school on tumblr (this was waaay back in high school) I got anons telling me to kill myself months later and i didnt even tag the dang post so i'm gonna censor his name but. it's ty//*r a//var*z (hopefully that is readable enough while also being unsearchable. im not a tiktok person i dont know how to censor words on the internet)

anyway i am mostly sure that we were in the same class in 4th and 5th grade but all i really remember about him from grade four is that he made a lot of fart and poop jokes that i was really annoyed by but that's pretty much par for the course with 4th grade boys (also i thiiiink we kept going to the same school until he transferred out at some point in hs? but i don't think we were in any classes together after 5th grade, unless i've forgotten something)

but like. my main memories of him from 5th grade are as follows: one time he brought in his macbook for a school project (which, an 11-year-old??? with a laptop???? in 2009?????? unreal privilege imo) and his desktop background was the playboy logo, which, even at that age i knew was Pretty Fucked Up For a Kid

oh also a thing you need to know about me in elementary school was that i had a reputation for being into bunnies and was... kind of bullied for it, which is weird but whatever. (like, i was definitely a weird kid. there were other things to bully me for! and yet, this is why i was targeted. i was as confused by it then as i am now). that being said, one time we had the following conversation —

him: you like bunnies, right? me, extremely wary: ....yeah, why? him: i like bunnies too! my computer background is a bunny :) me: tyler, you do know what... type of bunny that is, right? him: yup :) i like bunnies :)

anyway i recently looked at his wikipedia page and apparently he's gay which has caused me to reflect on this particular incident and be... honestly kind of concerned for him? or at least for the kid that he was. but that doesn't change the fact that he was that type of class clown prick who was constantly mouthing off at the teachers and purposefully annoying me just to get a rise out of me (as many boys like him did; i was, admittedly, easy to get a rise out of) that made me hate him with all the fiery passion that a tiny child could muster (which is a lot)

all of this to say, i have not spoken to this dude in over a decade since he was a prepubescent little dickhead, and we are both now 24 years old. please do not take this as any reflection on his current character. a lot of kids were obnoxious in elementary school. he could very well have grown up to be a very charming and pleasant young man. beyond the recent glance at his wikipedia page, i have made absolutely no effort to keep up with his personal or professional life (he just keeps popping up in shows i watch and it THROWS ME OFF EVERY TIME) so i genuinely have no idea. i hope he's doing well, i guess

this did not stop me from feeling an immense satisfaction when his character got his heart torn out on What We Do in the Shadows
