"Do… Do you expect me to put together my own furniture?? I, Lord Blackthorne, LABOR??? What a notion!

Of course, none of my friends or lovers would do so either. So I predict we shall be lounging upon the flat-packs until someone figures out where all the servants have gone."

"Build my own? Dude, I've got people for that. I don't *have to*...

...oh right, we're like, pretending again.

So like, if i was poor and boring... I dunno, I used to just get furniture and shit already built. I guess I could ask Tony, he likes building models and shit."

Tack: What the fuck is this?

Quill: A bookshelf. It's called Billy.

Tack: It has a fucking name?!

Quill: Apparently.

Tack: Quill... I... I can't read.

Quill: Oh... I'll take the instructions then?

Tack: Bo'sun! This is your problem now.

Tiferet lets out a bright laugh. "Oh, that's easy. I'm excellent at delegation; we'd coordinate perfectly to see it done in the most efficient manner possible, with no bruised feelings in the process."

Micah: “If anyone cries, it’ll be me. But if I’m with Terran, I know he’ll have patience with me. Even if he ignores instructions.”

Terran: “I hope you wouldn’t cry, my sweet. But if you need to, tis fine. But really, do we need instructions? We can figure it out!”

Angie: 🥺 Listen. Assuming this is a Pr-Enclosure sitch, I'm already puckered up at the idea of having to do it with someone else. I don't care that it's my gf / bestie. No one is really gonna understand how/why I need to lay all the parts out in a Highly Specific Order™.

Kellem:

It is definitely tedious.

I guess if whoever I was working with was struggling, I would have them help with stabilizing it or lifting?

If Cassium was helping me, I wouldn't have to do much. He loves this stuff. You should see how he fixed up the house.

Betti: not sure what IKEA is, but I'm decently handy and could probably put some furniture together. If there are instructions, I'm not going to read them. Handsome will probably have them read before I get too frustrated and tell me what to do before I quit.

Wilken and Ilak look at it.

W: I do not know what this is
I: a bookshelf, I think?
W: what happened to the nails?
I: the words say you don't need them
W: umm, ok
I: if we can kill people, we can certainly do this!

Wilken gives up many times. Ilak perseveres with it, until it's done

Well, I'm autistic and Jayden's not, so, I'd definitely be the one looking at the instructions. I don't think Jayden's the sort to let something like this get to him enough to make him cry or grow mad, or anything. He MIGHT be 🧵

I don't really have a best friend, exactly, but my little brother and little sister ordinarily describe me as being dependable, kind, and modest. I think that's a reasonable description, as that's more-or-less how I attempt to 🧵

Alex: [just starts laughing] No, but seriously, Jake just starts picking up pieces while Val is yelling at him to wait for her to get out the instructions. Trent is taking orders from Jake but then ends up doing most of the work while Val and Jake argue over the instructions.

Quite well, since that represents most of my day on average. Janesdale lets me have social opportunities at the mealtime, but probably three-quarters of every day, I'm just by myself.

Okay, so, biggest red flag across the board is someone using any kind of slur. I don't care what kind of slur it is. There's no such thing as a good or acceptable one.

K: I know Xenon and I would have no problem making furniture as a team! Procedures matter & instructions guarantee the best result.

X:…

K: Xenon? 😟

X: You can a little overbearing & your instructions might be unclear, but I don't doubt we would make beautiful furniture together.

For someone who wants to be friends, it's being a generally empathetic individual who respects boundaries, and is able, overall, to communicate their emotions in a healthy manner.

For clients, it's someone who doesn't attempt 🧵

So, when my story starts, I'm freshly 16. I'm 173 cm., 69 kg. or thereabouts. I'm slim, toned, and have done gymnastics for ... around 8 years, maybe, I guess? Kind of proud of it. Elaine, my biological mother, HATED it. Had 🧵
