name: bert (last name unsure)

gender: male, he/him pronouns

orientation: gay

canon: i relate most to classic sesame street, but pull from pretty much all sources

memories:

• i grew up in a pretty small town that i think was in rhode island(?) before moving to new york for college
• my dad wasn’t super present in my life most of the time, and my mom stayed at home with my brother and i
• i struggled a lot with internalized homophobia growing up (i think my dad didn’t approve of it)
• i did date some guys (and one girl and then going “nope.”) before ernie, but i was always really nervous and uncertain about it
• ernie and i met in college. i’m pretty sure we had an architecture class together, and shared a dorm in the second year
• i was crushing pretty much as soon as i saw him, and we eventually ended up dating a little into our second year there i think?
• ernie grew up in a really homophobic household and told me he got kicked out for it so he was hesitant to date
• plus im pretty sure he had only “dated” girls before?
• i’m pretty sure we both only did two years and then moved out together
• the rest will probably be in additional notes

looking for: ernie, anyone who remembers me

found: none

additional notes:

• I Would Die For Ernie
• he had adhd and i think mild autisim and i might have had some type of ocd and anxiety
• we had another room that ernie used as kind of an office? it was more like a space for his drums and Various Hobbies
• we had separate beds because Mattresses Are Expensive And They Were Already There So Why Get A New One but also because i wasn’t really a fan of sleeping with other people
• despite that, ernie would still wiggle his way into my bed and sleep with me on occasion
• ernie was the kind of person to try and do Every Hobby and he pulled it off pretty well tbh
• he was Skilled
• my mom really wanted me to propose but i don’t think either of us ever did cause it just wasn’t our style
• my brother was the one who ended up getting married and holy shit i loved his kid
• i loved being an uncle it was so wholesome
• theres more i just can’t think of everything right now
