"I think Glip and Kal don't like me."
"What makes you say that?"
"Well, we just don't talk. Like it's fine when your here or Quip is here but when you guys leave we don't really talk."
"Have you tried? Like making small talk?"
"Yeah but its really awkward and short." Max sighs leaning back in his chair.
"Hmmm...oh my god Piper! Take that off Marl!"
He watches as his friend and co-worker runs off to deal with Piper running off with Marl, treating the youngling as a stuffie to dress. Marl cackled as they were carried off by the human.
"Too bad you don't talk to them like my Mapa, they are a chatter bug."
"Your Mapa is a chatter bug? Really Dali?" he found it hard to believe that Calis would be chatty. The ever so serious and stoic first mate.
"Yeah but only when Pomo gets them talking. Usually about go-sip."
"Gossip huh?"
.
"He sent the email to everyone. Everyone! He sent all the texts and messages between them to everyone to show them what she said about us."
"Oh my god what a power move...this dude is my hero." Quip nods in agreement.
"Want me to read em?"
"Max I would kill you if you didn't."
"Seconded."
..
"-I feel unsafe in this hostile environment. You told me it was fine, that I could go whenever."
"Go whenever? ...she left like a day before the wedding! A day! She had 3 goddamn months!! And hostile??? Says the woman who tried to call the cops on her own roommate for being 'too loud'!!" shouts Quip crushing the drink in his hand.
"It gets better."
"HOW?!" cries Kim
"Hold up! Pause! I need a new drink!"
"Oh get me one too will you?" the humans call out.
...
"-I'll be changing the locks and hereby request to you all who I have sent this email to to not contact her or respond to her. Thanks for reading and Tiffany, I'm willing to talk to when you come back from your trip. Bring your keys."
"Oh shit its done! She's dumped. He's dumping her as soon as she comes home!"
"I need a copy of this or just you to read it to me again and again for a month."
"Oh with pleasure, I love reading this. It never gets old."
"Thank you for sharing this. This was the best gossip I've had in years. Come on, desert on me!" she shouts grabbing her friends arms leading them back to the cafeteria.
....
"Hey Max!" he looks up from his lunch and sees Quip with Kal and Glip.
"Hey guys."
"I was telling these two about the shipwreck you told me and they won't stop hounding me about asking you for a copy of the email or in depth detail so here." he shoves his two embarrassed partners forwards to the human
"I'd love to hear it again but I gotta return something before the place closes. I'll be back in an hour, have fun!" he calls waving to them
"...so how much do you guys know?"
"...a bit but could you start from the beginning?"
"Like when she said she hurt her back a week after flaking on doing her part of the wedding planning."
"Gotcha. So she says that she hurt her back a week after going to the gym, which makes no sense because back injuries hurt right after or hours after the thing you did!"
"Oh she's lying."
"Did they kick her out of the wedding planning?"
"No, because they don't want to cause drama about this. Like its hard to subtlety make a person prove their back is hurt. Also the job they gave her was the smallest thing so."
"What was her job?"
"Making sure there was enough napkins and balloons."
"Get a hint Tiffany!"
"That's so sad."
.....
"So I heard you're gossip buddies with Kal and Glip?"
"Yep. Spent 3 hours sharing gossip."
"..."
"You wanna hear it?"
"Yes!"
"Thought you would. Wrote down the key notes of each story."
"This is why we're best friends!!"

Wednesday
K asks me to look at a two-paragraph client letter that needs to go out by the end of the day. I ask about clarifying one sentence. We meet with a second person to do that. The second person suggests we show this to a third person to get their opinion. The letter does not go out.
Thursday
The third person weighs in and suggests 2 other people should also look at the letter. Coworkers four and five are invited into the document and both give opinions on parts of K’s letter that don’t include the original question. There’s a flurry of suggested changes. Now they want two other people involved. The letter does not go out.
Friday
We now have eight people commenting and suggesting changes in a two-paragraph letter that was supposed to go out two days ago. I strongly suspect K is quietly losing her mind. Jury’s still out on whether or not this letter will be released today. Smart money is on next week.

I want to scream about Empanada so much!!!
I've read all the twitter theory threads about her being the eldest and having to put on that strong front and pretend she's fine to protect her siblings on egg island and thats why she acts the way she does with new people and why Sunny and Pepito look up to her so much. Now she's in a new place with 4 mums that say they love and care for her and that this new island is meant to be safe but there's this new enemy they're all stressing about and she's still keeping up that strong front so Sunny doesn't panic and still feels safe. And then when it may have finally come to an end one of her mums is there unlike every other time @v@ has been but its a mum who has a second kid and Em believes that Richas is in need of support more since its his dad so she continues to act fine. It's Sunny that steps up and has to ask Tubbo where Bagi is and stares at her until she comes over because Em wants to act like she's okay with everything and give that space to Richas and Bagi to talk.
And Bagi's new to being a parent, nevermind of two, and doesn't understand what she's doing because Em won't talk about it. It's the sibling angst where they're gonna have to have a sit down talk separately and no side is wrong they all have trauma.

People joke about ADHD all the time, even swear up and down they totally think they also have it, but then if you ask for an accommodation, to please please please provide things in fucking writing, EXACTLY what they want and need, you will even work it out WITH them, like they promised they would do — repeatedly over and over, and then you don't get it people really will fucking be like:
I am using the incorrect bathroom (TM) to place my shelving and store my things. Homegirl literally removed various sundries and toiletries from a CLOSED CABINET and SHELF because she's interested in boundaries and accountability for my mess.
I said months ago I wanted to improve things for her comfort level and needed a written list of what precisely that fucking looked like in order to achieve it and not miss anything she deemed important. I explained how ADHD works, why I needed a written reference. Why I had to have it laid out, and if something needed changing we needed to write it all out. I would've made the list myself, but they said they would make it for the whole house to hold up their end of things. And, thinking this was a very reasonable adult solution to keeping the house in good shape, I said okay, come up with the list of expectations and what is needed and that way we can update how we handle chores. Awesome. I will do that to uphold my end.
No list ever gets made or drafted or anything despite my bringing it up, knowing we need to do it, but I DO get berated for failing to meet expectations and boundaries that were never fucking provided or delivered and include "don't store toiletries in this particular bathroom because I don't like it."
I can't believe I am a goddamn adult who gets treated like an idiot child for expecting adult communication instead of snide ass passive aggressive bullshit and basic respect for my things.
Because when I fucking get home, my shelving has been removed and a cabinet emptied of my things and placed in the "correct" bathroom.
🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Oh shit she solved it, this doesn't look cluttered at all!
What a vast improvement to storing things in appropriate storage!
