I'm Michel.

By ways of introduction, I guess I should say that my son has cut all contact with me. I haven't spoken to him in ten years, I believe.

Well, it's not a matter of belief, of course. I count the days, every day.

how's my driving | opt-out.










This is the place to take any and all comments as to how I play Michel. I'm open to constuctive feedback and crit - and anonymous is enabled, should that make it easier. IP logging is off. All comments are screened.




Furthermore, this is also the entry to refer to if you want to opt-out of interaction with Michel as a character! His character comes with warnings for large age gap (30 years approx.) and for family dysfunction (an estranged son and parent issues of his own). If this should be a problem, please comment here with all character journals you want me to avoid. No questions asked.

- Default canon point




__________________
* Contrary to select dates given in Find Me that to me seem to be inconsistent with the base material of book 1, these dates have been calculated from the assumption that the summer described in Call Me By Your Name took place in 1986, making Elio 32 years old in 2000 when he meets Michel.
** Aside from Elio, Michel, Léon and Adrien, none of the characters in the Cadenza chapter are mentioned by name, so I have taken the liberty of naming them myself.
*** When playing opposite characters from other canons, I'm defaulting to having Michel born in whatever year would make him 62 y/o during those interactions. Rest of the timeline will be adjusted to fit with that.

one day, and everybody hasn't found it
