annie edison just was not given everything she was owed by the narrative and whenever i think about it its just- she was a young girl fresh out of high school and an adderall addiction who had no family left and was working tooth and nail for everything and the show thought the best thing to do with her character was a bland will-they-wont-they love interest who was a couple decades her senior. and im not even saying this as someone who doesnt ship it or someone who headcanons her as a lesbian its just. why were the majority of her episodes actually about jeff. why couldnt we have talked about her addiction or her family issues or her compulsive need for control. dont we think that wouldve been more compelling. why didnt she even have a plotline in the family day episode.

roger
that fall, annie's new neighbors nick and nina moved in across the hall. "nick and nina," annie would always say when she saw them. "love saying those names together."
they were a couple just slightly older than annie -- probably 30, 31. nina worked in publishing and nick was an architect or something.
annie was a good neighbor--she was quiet--from her days living with robbie she'd adopted the habit of listening to everything from music to podcasts to TV in headphones. her apartment was clean because despite her overall efforts to clean up her drug use, she was not ready to let go of her adderall-fueled weekend cleanup sessions.
because their apartments were the only two on the floor and were shaped as mirror images of each other, their bedrooms shared a wall. this of course meant that annie could hear nick and nina fuck, which was pretty much an every-evening thing. sometimes it was very short--15 minutes or so with very clear climaxes. annie thought of mark and his wife and their focus on making each other cum and getting it over with. but other nights it was long and giggly and rough. one evening, after hearing them clearly wrap up, annie turned on her vibrator.
annie rarely used sex toys--she was truthfully, much better at getting off with her hands. her clit could be so sensitive that she often needed to wear panties to cum with a vibrator. today she put her bedsheet between her wand and her cunt. she sensed a quietness in nick and nina's bedroom. they were listening to her. she had a vocal orgasm - nothing too excessive, but audible. and then she kept going. she heard nina make an impressed noise.
leaving for work the next morning, annie ran into nina in the hallway. nina immediately blushed. annie hovered around deciding between playing dumb and being all-knowing and decided on the latter. "was i too loud last night?" annie asked. "i realized after that you could probably hear me since i can always hear you."
"oh god," nina said, turning a brighter shade of red.
"don't be shy," annie said, putting a hand on nina's shoulder. she felt nina relax into her touch. "that's being neighbors, right?"
"i can tell you're a therapist," nina said. "most people don't say this stuff out loud."
"maybe so," annie said. "well i think it is great that you two have such an active sex life."
nina whispered a shy "thank you" and practically ran from annie down the street.
on the way home, annie ran into nick, who had clearly talked to nina during the day. "hear anything good lately?" he asked her. he gestured at the headphones around her neck, and then grinned.
"sorry if i freaked out your wife," annie said. "but i do really enjoy knowing you two get after it so often."
"every night," he said. "my other friends don't believe me."
"well, i can testify," annie said.
"they've known nina since we were in high school and i think they can't really picture her as sexual."
"do you want them to picture your wife as sexual?" annie said wryly. "is that fun for you?"
he laughed. "kinda, yeah. i mean, everybody likes to brag about their hot partner."
"women like being bragged about," annie said. "even when they protest."
that evening, annie went on a second, long-delayed date with roger. they had drinks, then dinner, and then annie invited roger back to her apartment. she liked watching him reconcile in real time that he was going to fuck his therapist. it put a real pep in his step.
as roger railed annie from behind on her bed, she wondered how hard her headboard was rattling nick and nina's bedroom. the truth was, roger had a modestly-sized cock that he wasn't all that familiar with. the sex was rough and quick, and annie did not have an orgasm, and roger did not offer to get her off after cumming on her back. she politely got him out of her apartment, took a shower, masturbated, and fell asleep naked.
this time, she saw nick in the hallway in the morning. "high five," he said. "we both got laid last night."
"mine was very disappointing," annie said. "small dick, no skill, didn't get me off. you?"
"my wife rode my cock with her tight little shaved pussy while i put my fingers up her ass," he said. "i can't complain."
"nina is shaved, huh?" annie said. "i wouldn't have guessed that."
"she is sometimes," he said. "i like the variety."
"me too," annie said. "i mean, i like variety. and i am also sometimes shaved."
"you have really big tits so guys probably don't even notice your pubes, right?" he said.
"yeah that is not inaccurate," she said.
on the way home, it was nina in the elevator this time. surprisingly, she initiated the conversation.
"older man," she said, looking away. "is that a thing for you?"
"definitely," annie said. "daddy's girl."
nina laughed. "i had a...phase."
"an older man phase?"
"yeah. when i was 16."
"hot," annie said. "how old was he?"
"52," nina said. "my parents were so mad."
"i bet," annie laughed. "was he your first?"
"no," nina said. "i screwed a couple of boys my age first. just to make sure i wasn't missing anything."
"and your older man won out?"
"he had the biggest cock i have ever seen. still. i mean, nick has a very nice one. but this guy was gigantic. i don't think i could have taken him without an elastic teenage pussy."
they were in annie's apartment now. without even communicating it, annie had led her in and poured her a glass of wine.
"tell me more."
"i used to call it climbing mount rushmore, because you know, he was very gray, and it would take like a half hour to get him hard and then like 90 minutes to get him off.
"90 minutes? straight?"
"90 minutes of sucking and fucking. we dated for like five months and by the end of it i was in such good shape. i had amazing abs. he was so perfectly shaped to nail my g spot that i would cum, vaginally, like 6 or 7 times."
"amazing."
"i haven't been able to cum more than twice in a row ever since."
"so why did you break up?"
"his kids came to visit and his daughter found my panties in his bathroom," she said. "and you know, they were like, whatever, something very slutty from victoria's secret at the mall that only a teenager would buy. and his daughter forbid me from seeing him again."
"i hope she was willing to suck his dick for 90 minutes then," annie said.
nina laughed so suddenly she sprayed wine out of her nose. they both laughed. "no joke," nina said. "i called her and said something like that. she was like 22, which is so funny because at the time she seemed like an adult. but i was like, 'well who is gonna fuck your dad now, you?' and she said, 'maybe.' which made me feel like I lost the argument."
"kinda hot," annie said.
nina looked warily at her. "yeah i know," she said. "but that's a very therapist thing to think about. how all women want to kill their moms and take their place?"
"yeah i think that's universal," annie said. "although i do finally get along with my mom now."
"maybe there's hope for me," nina said. "i fucking hate my mother."

Magnitude witnessed Annie, high on adderall, running through a glass door, causing two balloons to pop, and what he took from this was that he should make "pop pop" his catchphrase. He sees her frequently and says this catchphrase over and over. Does he think about what happened when he says it? Does he have any feelings about it? What is going in that head when he utters the words "pop pop"

ABED he/any pandemi. trobed is cannon i dont care what the episodes say, troy and abed are boyfriends. Troy learned sign for when he goes nonverbal. umm he is demiaro but allosexual and has.the autism.

JEFF he/him Aromantic bisexual/heteroflexible lawyer i hate (love) him. I imagine him as one of those 80s kids who had a bowlcut in 6th grade who thought they pulled it off (no they ddi not) he has depression absolutely and takes anxiety meds pelase help my poor boy (i want to hit him with a bat). Definitely was tempted to hook up with Ian Duncan at least once or twice. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't.

PIERCE i dont like pierce
TROY He/him gay himbo yippie i love him sm. He absolutely has adhd and anxiety and probably collects funko pops and loves spiderman. Alloromantic but demisexual? Uhh troy cuts abed 's hair for him because i like to imagine abed tried to once go to a barber but it was too overwhelming so troy learned how to do it the way abed likes it. and even though troy is a Jehovah's witness, he still decorate s the place with christmas things for abed!

i need to know if anyone else thought that annie had adhd because she was taking adderall
like for the longest time idk why but i never considered she got hooked on adderall thinking it would help her but she was neurotypical
now i think thats what the writers meant, but also, my personal headcanon is that she has adhd and adderall just wasnt the right medication for her but now she’s found a different one that works better

if ocean hadn’t died on the cyclone do y’all think she would’ve pulled an annie edison and had an adderall induced mental breakdown resulting in her running through a glass door screaming everyone’s a robot or no?

shopping list
Paid tomorrow first real paycheck in months feeling blessed. I am buying these books from alibris, chasing the strange post-vietnam war era obsession i'm in right now and dog soldiers is one of the few mid-century "young-man canon" novels that actually sounds wise and important...james tate david berman recommendation...ways of seeing b/c more normie art criticism will be good for me...soon i will buy the first denis johnson poetry collection but holding off b/c i just finished tree of smoke...internal reading list also currently has more major annie erneaux, vivan gornick, must revisit rush's mating now that i have grown up, revisit some archipelago novels, hanne orstavik (all of them, especially Love and Ti Amo for my current deep wistful romantic state...theyre all so short,can be finished in a day...there was that text post going around a while ago something like "i just need to read a short novel in one sitting that will change my life" hanne orstavik is the writer for that), christine angot (esp.an impossible love what a novel)...reading since i have liberated myself from adderall and the eyes of others is so free and beautiful and impressionistic it is all i want to do. Also since i lost my copy of salter's sport+pastime before finishing it i iwll get a new copy and read that again soooo good powerful. Or maybe any other salter. There are so many good novels
and some goodwill clothing (my one pair of jeans now has a large hole in the outer thigh!) that feels more of the moment more camo pants old t shirts, some that fit closer to my body because heavy work has built comfort with my body (this is a paradigm shift in itself) must purchase good boots and insoles for work want extreme heavy black work boots. New jeans.
must purchase new acoustic strings, 1/4in cable to practice for filling in on bass for crochet on july27, picks. Will book space for Body War practice
will send money to abby because she has probably purchased me hundreds of dollars in drinks by this point. Tthanks abby ily.
going to have a scotch night w max to celebrate new job and all we have accomplished together and because i havent tasted any good single malt anything in too long.
Much of paycheck will go to savings for car+apartment. Car is coming within weeks, apartment within months.; Building life up and getting it going again. FEels good to be back in land of the living it is one thing to make a humble amount of money but still get a cup of coffee some times, pack of cigarettes, drinks with friends... it is another thing to have 0 dollars for months. i am grateful for this period of austerity but im working hard and im excited to get paid for it. love life xo. going to go text matthew back havent seen him since january. little espresso+cig too.

dad on a saturday
annie woke up lightly hungover next to ryan in her bed. she didn't remember him coming over, but still had her panties on, so they didn't fuck. she probably texted him and then passed out didn't wake up. she checked her messages and confirmed it. good girl, annie.
but she took her panties off now, and climbed on top of ryan to wake him up. she'd make up for it now. and he was already hard -- morning wood -- so she had him inside her before he was really awake.
"hey there," he said. she was already grinding on his cock.
"shut up and let me fuck you," she said.
"ok," he said.
she rubbed her clit as she bounced, and soon she was gasping and he was unloading inside her.
ryan went to the shower immediately -- he wanted to hit the gym. annie stayed in bed, dozing and leaking peacefully. then her phone rang. her dad was calling her on facetime.
"hey dad," she said.
"still in bed? rise and shine, kid!" he said. "i was wondering if you wanted to come to an antique car show with me."
"sure," annie said. "when?"
"i'll pick you up in like a half hour?"
"i might need longer than that," she said.
"well, hurry up," he said.
"okay." she got out of bed and walked with her phone into the kitchen, forgetting that she'd paired her ipad and iphone together -- it was an app therapists used for remote clients and she never remembered to turn it off -- such that as she wandered into the kitchen, looking for coffee, she saw her father's face on the upright ipad on the counter, and in the smaller window, her full body and her exposed bush.
her mind flashed briefly to ted's daughter, and she resisted the urge to cover herself with her hand.
"sorry," she said, chuckling casually. "my phone and my ipad are paired."
"kind cool," he said.
"sorry about my bush," she said.
"bush is fine," he said. "i've seen those before."
and so she talked with her dad for a few more minutes like that, bush out, feeling increasingly confident as she did. then she hung up and finished getting ready for the day. he was at her door as she finished getting dressed.
she'd followed her father in the family business, so they talked about their current patients. she told him about the slap. he told her he'd been punched a few times. it was a sign that she was pushing the right buttons.
they looked at old cars and then went to lunch. she asked him how her mother was.
"your mother is your mother," he said. "you can ask her yourself."
"she wouldn't tell me," annie said.
"maybe so," he said. "how's ryan?"
"i don't know," she said. "we don't talk, really."
"do you have sex?"
she laughed. "yes."
"well, maybe that's all you need. do you really need a lot of people to listen to you? aren't you the one who listens?"
"yes," she said. "but so are you. and when you are i are together we manage to fill a conversation."
"i think if you feel like you need more people to listen to you it's not a judgment on your boyfriend it's a judgment on some insecurity. what are you doing wrong lately?"
impulsively, annie admitted to having sexual feelings about ted.
"well, that's normal," he said. "just let the energy of that feed your work."
"i'm a little worried there's no work to DO," she said. "honestly, the problem is his wife."
"that's facile," he said. "and never the case."
"i think i found the one time it is," she said. "and i think i keep him around for my own reasons."
"well, figure that shit out," he said. "tell carlos."
"that's your solution," she said. "not a more fulfilling romantic relationship. just more therapy."
"works for me," he said. "if your mom and i didn't fuck we'd be divorced. that's all we really need from each other. we don't even need the company. i have my friends, i have you and your brother."
"what hope is there for me if that's your romantic outlook?"
"romance isn't everything." he said. "it's barely even a top five thing."
in the late afternoon, annie snorted some adderall and cleaned her apartment. then she smoked weed in front of the TV, wondering if ryan would come over and whether or not she had the energy to fuck.
she got an email from jim. jim as in, julia's boyfriend? she checked. he'd emailed her professional account, meaning he'd looked her up. "just wanted to see how you were doing, you seemed pretty tipsy last night, hope you're well, we should hang out soon! -J"
"i was fine," annie replied. "not very drunk at all. just enough to make good decisions." she smiled at herself and sent it.
"want to get coffee next week?" jim wrote back, very quickly.

Okay can we not throw around "Annie Adderall" as if it's a cutesy affectionate nickname instead of a cruel reference to a terrible time in her life
