My memory is one of my biggest insecurities and I make sure to tell all of my new friends that it's terrible, I hate it and I'm so sorry if I forget anything I'm supposed to remember.
One of my best friends (lets call them Ash), one day started talking about some plans we made with two of our other friends in the group chat. I had forgotten and was like '??? huh?'.
'Ash' texted back 'you know. The plans for tomorrow.' So I said I forgot, sorry and asked if they could talk me through them again cause we discussed them verbally not over chat.
'Ash' then decided that it was a good idea to stab me where it hurts and texted ' you know, you're gonna fuck up all your relationships if you don't make more of an effort to remember things'
I froze. This was one of my closest friends, our friendship had gone on for the last 3 years and we were in a chat with 2 other ppl who were my friends first (one of which was basically my brother). And they were saying that.
Bear in mind, that they seemed very cool and understanding of all the other times I forgot stuff. And I definitely told them how insecure I was and still sorta am about my memory.
I had a mini spiral about if they were right and the the next day at school I tried to talk to them about it and say that the comment hurt but they just brushed it of and they slowly stopped talking to me.
Things were... tense for a while. Then we left secondary and got into different colleges and I, basically, cut off contact.
We haven't talked in about a year and let me tell you, they were wrong as FUCK dude. Not only have I kept my old friendships from that school, but I made loads of new ones in this.
So word of advice to everyone with friends like this. Cut them out, life gets better. And if you can't then being a complete arsehole to them alone tends to make em leave themselves š
Pet peeve: When people accuse you of not giving a shit when you forget to do something. I have adhd and autism, amongst other things, and I also spend most of my time taking care of my schizophrenic brother who actually forgets to take care of himself, who forgets to eat, so yeah, it's NOT because I don't care. (I'm also trying to keep him from going to prison). It's because I'm so busy trying to do so many other things all at once. Gah! Sorry, had to get that out.
I'm sorry, this is too fuckin cute
El being wholesome with Steve. El being wholesome with Steve. The weird sibling duo we didnāt know we needed. I need more of it. I might do itā¦.no Iāve done enough of themā¦
Okay, okay. But just picture this:
The kids trying to embarrass Steve all the time with photos and stories to Eddie, but El ruins it every.single.time. because she is so unbelievably wholesome when it comes to Steve.
Here is everyone pulling out scoops photos (which Eddie actually loves thank you very much) and sharing stories about his failed dates. Dustin tells Eddie specifically about the time he was teaching Lucas basketball and Lucas threw the ball too hard at the backboard and hit Steve in the face.
So they are all poking fun at Steve in his and Robinās apartment (because in every universe these platonic soulmates live together) and there is just El who randomly chimes in:
āSteve took me to this thing called a ren faire once. It was very fun. We both looked really pretty.ā
Eddie absolutely melts at the story and gushes over the photos she has.
And everyone gets quiet every time, because no one wants to criticize El, but one time Max gently goes, āYou know thatās likeā¦.nice right? Weāre making fun of him.ā
Everyone one expects her to being embarrassed or confused but instead she simple says.
āI know. I donāt like it. Steveās nice.ā
And she embarrasses everyone, except Robin and Eddie who are the only ones Steve never gets upset with when they make fun of him. They all mumble out apologies, and Steve turns to Dustin and goes:
āThis is why she gets a special section in the freezer. All different flavors of eggos.ā
Elās eyes get wide. āEven the blueberry ones?ā
Steve gives her hair a tousle, āEspecially the blueberry ones.ā

Another AO3 thing Iām curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because itās easy math and two itās yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray itās good?

Reblog if you think itās okay to platonically sayĀ āI Love Youā to your friends
If you find yourself in times of trouble, ask yourself, āwhat would Gandalf doā, and remember, ābeat a man unconscious with a big stickā is a valid answer

Villains in Addams Family movies go to really unnecessary lengths to defraud them of the family fortune. These people just give it away on whims all the time. If I just walked into the house and started wearing their clothes and spending their money, they wold start introducing me as Cousin Intruder and forget there was ever a time I didnāt live with them.
