R.I.P
Scream Street
2015 - 2019
I wish I'd seen the series in 2015, but my mind had other ideas and I stuck to Me, You, And... . If I could turn back time, or use my second chance time machine, I'd do this and my whole life would change, and none of the misery that happened now would occur. This alongside the Clangers is what I wished to see, and now I got my wish...that lasted a lifetime. Over a thousand familiar CBBC faces from this decade mourned the loss of the series, but none has been hit this hard than myself. This is why I'm making this tribute to the greatest series that ever aired on CBBC besides Strange Hill High. Now, I wish there'd be CBBC continuity from Scream Street's premiere date on Youtube. Scream Street saved my autism, and now I wish I'd use the series and Strange Hill High to make others aware of autism in the UK. Luke, Resus and Cleo were more than animated characters on CBBC, they were my best friends...that have stuck with me for two years, and through the scariest moment of my life: transitioning into adulthood. I'd like to thank not only them but all the other residents and those who created the series - and especially Tommy Donbavand - for bringing Scream Street into the world. The loss of Scream Street last week has touched me so hard I literally cried. Luckily, I've recorded Scream Street, there's a Gaelic dub of BBC Alba, I can include Luke, Resus and Cleo in my I.B.F.F stories, I can read Scream Street, and I can always rely on my family to help me remember Scream Street via clips on Youtube and on the CBBC website, and through reading the original and TV tie-in books. I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet, but through all these clips and books, I can relive the adventures that saved my autism and my life.

Scream Street may be gone, but the more I remember it, the more my obsession comes slowly back into my heart.

Luke, Resus, Cleo, I'll never forget you.
