I think so often about Tedros ending up whisked away back to your world with you. it's not supposed to be perminant, it's just for a little while before you go back to the endless woods for you next adventure or school year or chapter of your lives (pun intended). besides how fascenated he'd be with the magicless magic you'd described to him (technology) and how much I firmly believe how much he would abso fucking lutely love 7/11 slushies, mostly he would love to get to be a part of your world, just as you've been a part of his. the only problem is how people treat you here. you have to work so fucking hard, people don't spare you a second glance, everyone acts like you're just like everyone else instead of worshipping the ground you walk on. being trained for future fairytales is a different kind of hard than the job and/or school and other responsibilities of your contemporary life, and it was a solace you had welcomed with open arms. you got to dress in beautiful clothes most would consider impractical, eat food you had only dreamed of before. you had time for liesure, reading under trees and staring out windows and soaking in long luxurious baths. you got to rest in a way you never had before, not having to push yourself every single moment. and of course, the moment Tedros fell for you, you gained a new sort of status. not only were you floating on a sweet, sugary cloud of leisure, but you were treated with so much respect, like true future royalty of camelot. you took to the role so well, and Tedros had never been more sure that he made the right decision. so here, watching you get treated so... disposably, like you're just a part of the herd, another employee another student, Tedros can't stand it. he's furious, he wants to walk over to your professors or teachers or boss and put a sword to their throat, demand the respect that his true love, his future co monarch deserves. most of all, he's more sure than anything that you don't belong here. you belong with him in camelot, you belong by his side. he has never wanted to pamper you, to spoil you and keep you right in the lap of luxury more than he does now. you're not one to shy away from hard work, but you shouldn't have to work so hard. he knows the moment you get back to the endless woods, he's never letting anyone treat you with anything besides the utmost respect. you should be pampered by faries, in the finest garments, dancing with him around a ball room right now. always. as soon as you get back, he thinks, he's going to spoil you so much to make up for all this lost time.

People need to treat systems better.
People need to treat trauma survivors better.
People need to treat disabled people better.
I don't fucking care about "no one's entitled to anyone's attention or company" anymore. If you walk away from someone having an episode, you're scum. If you ghost someone because they are chronically or terminally ill, you're a bad friend. If your only support of trauma survivors lies in bossing them around and holding them to standards of perfection or whatever you think a trauma survivor should "act like," you're NOT in the right.
If people on tumblr can make posts about having the decency to make eye contact with homeless people, and long, ranting posts about commenting on fanfictions that you like (which is the LEAST important thing in the fucking world, I'm not sorry), then they need to reckon with the fact that treating everyone in the exact same way is literally oppressive. It's ableist, it's sanist, it's oppression.
I cannot compromise my sleep schedule or dietary restrictions. I cannot sit in at one of your theatre shows. I cannot help that I literally can't remember your names and pronouns. I CANNOT compromise my boundaries relating to my trauma.
Someone who is a system cannot control their switches. They cannot control who is fronting. They cannot control how disoriented they are at any given time. You shouldn't just up and abandon someone who was having a grand mal seizure, so why would you think it's okay to do such a thing to any ill or neurodivergent person HAVING AN EPISODE? Or treating disabled, neurodivergent, or chronically ill people like their needs are "too much" or like they're bad people just because they can't keep up with YOUR standards of what makes a "good person"?
If people have unique needs, you need to assess and accept that if you're going to choose to be their friend. Don't expect them to grow out of it, amd don't make it out to be "their fault" for "never changing." You're the one who became their friend in the first place. You shouldn't have done that to begin with if they weren't good enough for you.

Modern!Eddie has nicknames for everyone in his phone. It started out originally just to have names for those he dealt to, but slowly his entire phone has no one's actual names. Slightly unoriginal, but they always make him smirk. Plus, they all just make sense to him.
Gareth is SpongeBob. Eddie only had access to local channels growing up, but whenever he went to Gareth's growing up he was able to watch the "cool stuff" like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. Gareth went through a small phase obsessed with the show, plus it was one of the only shows that showed a pair of best friends that Eddie felt they related to. Gareth has a funny laugh, works hard but somehow keeps a positive attitude, and has a pet (Gareth owns a snake, which sure isn't a snail, but it counts). Eddie feels that Patrick is good enough for himself, loyal to his friends and a little dumb (people have told Eddie he isn't dumb, but he doesn't believe them. Not a single smart person would repeat their senior year once, let alone more than once).
Jeff is Gimli. He was the one to lag behind at first while everyone else had growth spurts. Eddie and Gareth teased him constantly about being short and a dwarf. When he finally hit a growth spurt and came back taller then them the next week, the boys vowed to grow even taller (Jeff claims the only reason Eddie is taller is out of spite). Jeff is loyal plus he plays electric guitar, which people have called axes before. Jeff is also the one who challenged him the read the Silmarillion, so Jeff's name had to be something from that franchise.
Dustin is R2-D2. Somehow Dustin always seems to get him out of situations. Dustin is smart and resourceful. And hey, if Eddie compares himself to C3PO again because people have called C3PO dumb compared to R2-D2, no one really needs to know that (He argues C3PO isn't dumb he's actually smart, but he doesn't have the gumption to look into the psychology of it). Plus, C3PO is literally metal yeah so is R2 but shhhh. They also went to the premiere of The Force Awakens together.
Robin is Hummingbird. She is constantly moving, plus they once had a 3 hour long conversation about birds whilst high. Robin also wears bright colors and hummingbirds are bright.
Steve is simply Princess. He was once a king but can still act prissy, thus Princess. Also, one time at Robin's when everyone was super drunk, they were looking for a game to play (aka everyone was half asleep and Eddie was looking for a game to play), he found a game called Pretty Pretty Princess. Steve, completely plastered, walked up looked at the box Eddie opened, immediately went "ooohhh" and put the jewelry on.
When his phone gets left unattended at a group hangout, Mike grabs it with the thoughts to post something on his social media account. Instead, Mike sees the groupchat everyone is in, with...weird names. When Eddie returns from his smoke break, everyone is arguing and he is very confused.
