masterlist
TOMMYINNIT
when you move (in together), he makes sure you have your bed in the sunlight & the tv is in its own separate area (same w the couch)
when you lay in bed a lot, it makes you tired, especially if said bed is in the dark
the uk itself is gloomy and dark so he makes sure you have a big window in your room
he knows with narcolepsy you struggle w insomnia too so he wants to help you be drained at the end of the day in hopes youll knock yourself out at night
hes also just generally very supportive, and hes the sorta supportive to make jokes on your behalf and youre entirely comfortable with it
like you could be in one of the vip areas / tables at one of his comedy shows, laugh so hard you have a cataplexy attack & total body collapse
he'll see, point it out to whoever youre with if they haven't noticed, and crack a "gee whiz, i must be boring. even my s/o is falling asleep right now"
its not frequent to the point hes using your illness as the punchline 24/7, hes just poking fun because youre comfy w it and he wants people w narcolepsy to feel comfortable in public & even your friends and strangers
he wants to end the stigma around narcolepsy & you do to, so you sorta band together to do so esp cause he has a massive platform
everyday is a struggle but its way better when hes around
FREDDIE BADLINU
he tries his best to be supportive & instinctively wakes up in the middle of the night whenever you do
he'll do anything it takes to make sure you dont fear any hallucinations as well
he'll pretend to beat them up, sing / talk back to them, etc
comedic relief if you may
he can easily tell when youre sleeping / dozing off as well, and easily pulls you away from automatic tendancies
like youll be half asleep, texting him while hes sat next to you, organizing the fridge, making your bed, etc
hell take photos and videos and show you, especially if youre rambling incoherently or singing perchance
like yesss rap that verse LOL
hes down to chill around all day as long as its a healthy amount. he understands fatigue but he'll make sure you get a little exercise in and get a couple things done so you feel a little accomplished too
he cant imagine how shitty your terrible days feel so he wants to help you
hes had awful depression slump fueled days but with narcolepsy, you physically cannot control any of it. you cant make it better
he just wants to help you and knows over time he should back off, but he cant help but want to help and protect you :(
RANBOO
they dont understand completely how your narcolepsy works but theyre sooo patient and understanding esp when you start being friends / dating
he researches your condition as well as what he can do to help you out
like he just wants to help so bad. he understands he cant fix you but he just wants to at least help
they prefer to monitor you while you sleep, just so he knows when you’re experiencing sleep paralysis
hell do anything he can to help, whisper into your ear, rub your back, be there for you when you wake up
theyre a night owl so its not a big deal if hes up all night for you
if he sees you watching his stream around medication time, he makes a special announcement for you to remind you about taking said meds and getting some rest
especially if they know youve been out and about and need that rest like a mf
its the small things
MAXGGS
he carryies stuff for you everywhere, like becomes your backpack with all his pockets on those cargo pants
snacks, water, phone charger, your meds
like dude hes a walking mary poppins bag
he’s very good at spotting episodes before they happen, very particular and can tell when something is off (small perk of ocd)
like he’ll grab your hand and guide you somewhere to sit before you even realize how tired you are & watch as you slump back and fall asleep for a minute
he’s so careful with you during bad days
constantly making sure you're hydrated even if youve been laying on the couch binging some show all day
he hates seeing you feel like shit & if theres a chance he can make you feel even slightly better hes taking it
literally such a sweetheart
it becomes part of his ocd routine (amongst making sure locks are locked and doors / windows are shut) that primary curtains are open to let the light in, your weekly medicene thing is filled, and you have at least half a bottle of water nearby
its more of a good and functioning routine tho
he assumes even if he didnt have ocd hed still be doing these things nonstop because thats just how he is
