Timothee

Timothee learned how to drift long before he learned how to stop

Timothée did not enter the world so much as he arrived sideways at speed.

Nobody is entirely sure when he got his tiny red car, and asking him directly never leads to a clear answer — only more honking and vague references to “destiny” and “optimal momentum.”

From a very early age, Timothée showed concerning levels of confidence in motion-based decision making. Walking was briefly attempted, but quickly abandoned in favour of more expressive transportation methods.

He now treats every surface as a potential racetrack.

Puddles are corners. Sidewalk cracks are challenges. Shopping trips are high-stakes endurance events with optional braking.

Timothée’s philosophy is simple:

If you are not moving fast enough to cause mild concern, you are not truly participating in life.

Despite this, he is not careless — he is committed.

Every drift has intent. Every honk has meaning (even if nobody else understands it yet).

He has been banned from at least one duck-friendly pond for “excessive enthusiasm,” though he insists it was “a misunderstanding involving geometry.”

Notes from Observers

Timothée is often described as:

• “a weather event with wheels”

• “emotionally committed to movement”

• “surprisingly good at being exactly where he shouldn’t be”
