Hey everyone, this might be the hardest topic I’ve ever written but I wanted to people here to know more about the story of Luc and I, without it taking over the main chat, I’ve spoken of him quite a bit the last few weeks and I think it’s time to tell you how it all began..
The Beginning of True Friendship
This all began in 2014, my mother had recently passed and I saw a energetic, charming and charismatic person role playing with someone I had been roleplaying with, at first I felt intimidated as anyone would be after bereavement but I plucked up the courage and we started talking, first in tweets and soon DMs, I come to find out, his name was Luc, he came from Texas and we started to role play and talk more.
The Friendship and Bond Solidified
During the times that we were talking, finding out more about each other, some one had started a vicious hate campaign against me on Twitter, I won’t go into details about that or why, unless I’m asked directly about it in a DM or a PM, anyways, this campaign against me was as vicious as it comes, they would create accounts to upset me and spread hatred, at the time, I felt that I deserved it, I honestly still do, I can hear Luc say that is crazy to still believe that, even now, anyway, unbeknownst to me, Luc on one of his role play account, pretty much tore into the accounts related or who simply supported it, this went on for hours, this was all Luc, I only found out when he told me the following day, from then, I knew in my heart that Luc was a keeper and a true friend, this is why when I first saw @finn on insta, when he met @arti that I could resonate with them, Finn did the EXACT same thing for Arti as Luc did for me, no reason needed, no prompt given.
Deeper Connections
As the years went by with Luc, our bond became stronger, sure we argued, what friends don’t? We soon found out that aspects of our lives were eerily similar to each others, like our mothers both having the same name, his father having the same name as my mums last boyfriend before meeting my dad, my dad having the same name as his moms last boyfriend before his dad, our interests being similar or the same, throughout that, I developed feelings for him, found out he had an eBay store in which he’d sell collectibles and autographs, he would soon admit his feelings towards me and every so often remind me of how much he appreciates me and I to him because he did so much for me during that hate campaign, he stayed while others left.
Group Chats, The Little Things & The End
During the time I knew him, I met a few of the friends he had, I still talk to most of them even now, we all main,y spoke in a Group chat on X, it was random like the one we have here but mostly was in role play, Luc would role play his various characters on their respective accounts, he’d usually use two at a time but always stayed with one, his Damian Wayne account, to say Luc was fun to role play with, is a huge understatement, he majored in creative writing so it came to no surprise just how fun it was to role play with him, the randomness, the energy, the chaos, you think it, we likely did it or he did it with someone else, people would watch the thread of the role plays and to say some were jealous, they were, they tried to turn Luc against me many times, never worked, even when me and Luc had argued, he still stayed, it’s not just the role plays that I remember fondly, it’s the smaller things, like him waiting up for me to wake up, him asking how long till I go to work every day I worked, him remembering my birthday, that he’d wish me it dead on midnight, I did the same for him, missing me each time I was away longer than normal, like on day trips or a holiday (once in 2017) he listened, he saw, he heard, he STAYED, when Covid hit, we had more time with each other, loved it, who wouldn’t, even when we knew we were being safe, he’d worry about me, like when I had no internet for a weekend, he told me upon getting it working, that he nearly broke down at work out of worry (foreshadowing), when I got diagnosed with diabetes, he was asking about my sugars, his mom was diabetic too, he got me on the sweetener Stevia which I still use now, anyways, his mom passed in 2021 and he was worried to death prior, after she passed, I was there for him as much as he was for me when mine passed, that made him appreciate me more and people in the group chat sensed our chemistry and soon enough, my character and one of his main ones became a couple, that technically made Luc and me one too 
In early October 2023, a normal day for Luc, loads of packaging and renovating his moms old house, to make it his own, he was known for having panic attacks, so was I, I don’t get them as often now, Luc would get medication for it, one day, he hadn’t been on in two days and me along with people who cared about him were worried, he never went a day without talking to anyone, not even back when he frequented MySpace, that Friday at work, I was distracted, worried and emotional, I couldn’t focus at all, by Sunday, still nothing, that lunch, I couldn’t hold it in anymore and I broke down on the shop floor, my colleagues tried to comfort me and it seemingly worked, then I got home, to the worst DM I ever got… worse than the hate campaign.., I found out he had passed, via his brother via text and via a DM from the contact his brother told, all of us were inconsolable, I took two months off work, my regional manager suggesting I come back steadily rather than all at once like I wanted to, I spent weeks trying to find info on his funeral, no luck, so the Group chat, became a memorial to him for the first year or so, we’d talk about our memories about him, we gave him a funeral of our own, after some time the chat died down and I started to feel the true weight Luc had on my life, without him, I felt unseen, unwanted, unloved, then I found Arti, Finn, Zero and soon enough everyone here, I know nothing will replace him but I think he’d like me to find happiness wherever it is and that, is here
Thanks if you made it this far, I’ll include the photos of him here too,
