kudos to axel auriant for his acting in this clip. the sheer range of emotions lucas has gone through while watching polaris was spectacular. from fondness to excitement to hope to fear and everything in between - he saw himself in those animated characters, he got to see inside eliott’s head and could start to hope that eliott in some way was like him but the reality of his thoughts and needs both scared him and lit a spark inside him to do something, to find eliott online if he was not around physically. well done @ skam france at showing how much representation can matter to lgbtq+ people, how it can make them feel less alone and spark some hope that things could turn out all right, that the hot new guy could be into guys, that your feelings are valid and nothing to be ashamed of and you are worthy of love. seriously well done, axel.
