many memes!
Because apparently this is all I talk about these days
eledhwenlin was doing this association meme where I asked and she told me five words she associated with me. I'm going to post and comment on those five words under the cut and then, if you want, you can ask me to associate five words with you, and the cycle will continue!
( associations! )

who is the big spoon/little spoon
They never start out spooning--that’s much too organized and deliberate for them, really. Sometimes they wake up that way, though, usually with Max spooning Ryan, but it has been known to happen both ways.
what is their favorite non-sexual activity
Ryan really enjoys fucking with Tom, and unlike most of the people Ryan likes to fuck with, Max does not actually discourage him. Sometimes when they’re on break from rehearsal, Ryan will start whispering really dirty shit to Max where he knows Tom will overhear. Usually, though, this just takes the form of late night prank calls where they pretend to be Jon Walker. it doesn’t usually work, but if they catch Tom when he’s mostly asleep they can sometimes manage it.
who uses all the hot water in the morning
Max. He likes to act all put-upon, like living with Ryan is such a chore, but Max is total hot water hog--he turns the shower on really hot and stays in till it starts to go cold sometimes. When Ryan complains, Max tells him he could try waking up first and the he wouldn’t have that problem. This usually shuts him up.
what they order from take out
Pizza, mostly. even when there are only two of them, they always have to get two pies, because Max likes to go through the menu and try everything, while Ryan usually won’t get anything more than sausage on his. Once Max has gone through a place’s entire menu, they’ll move on to the next restaurant.
what is the most trivial thing they fight over
Who has to get up and get the door when their takeout gets delivered--sometimes they spend five to ten minutes on the couch poking each other to try to get the other one to stand up. “But I did it last time,” is a pretty common argument. Somehow, though, it’s rarely true.
who does most of the cleaning
Max. Ryan gets weirdly intense about random things sometimes, though, like cleaning out the inside of the oven, or scrubbing down the baseboard. this usually happens when he’s stressed, and is generally a companion to insomnia.
what has a season pass in their DVR
Oh, kind of random shit, actually. This is the place where Max is messiest--whenever he hears about a show he thinks sounds interesting, he records it for later and then forgets about it until the thing si full and they have to go through and delete things and, in the process, figure out what those things are.
who controls the netflix queue
They don’t have netflix, they buy local and go to the video store down the street. Ryan likes to leer a little and say it’s because the checkout girl is into him, he wouldn’t want her to miss him. Max generally shoves him at that point, but the truth is that he’s the one who insists on it--he thinks it’s awful what’s happening to small businesses.
who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working
Max
who steals the blankets
Neither of them. When he overheats, though, Ryan sometimes kicks the blankets down to the end of the bed, which has much the same effect.
who leaves their stuff around
Ryan
who remembers to buy the milk
They go shopping together once a week when they’re home, on Wednesdays, and they buy the things they’ve been adding to the list on the fridge as they’ve used things up the previous week. Max is the one who made them have a system, though, so technically the answer is him.
who remembers anniversaries
Everyone expects it to be Max, but he doesn’t tend to get too emotional about that kind of thing--he doesn’t forget, but he doesn’t focus on them too much, either. It’s Ryan who gets really into them, which surprises even him--he’d never been a big anniversary guy in the past, but then, he’d never been in a relationship long enough to have more than one or two before, which he guesses makes the difference--he is more glad about it each year.
(I know, I know--cheesy ending. I pile on the sap sometimes, I can't help it)

all meta aside this is just TOO ADORABLE. Also I want to go move in with them. Is that legit? Like I really need for that to happen in my life ;_____;
Things I loved in no particular order (spoiler alert ALL OF THE THINGS)
Fucking with Tom! omg I can just see them calling him at like 4:30am and Max trying to stifle giggles behind his hand when Tom can't tell that Ryan isn't Jon right away. Does Jon know they do this, or does he just think that Tom occasionally referring to conversations that never happened is part of the conrad weirdness? You'd think he'd be too familiar with that to let new, different weirdness go unquestioned, but who knows...
who leaves their stuff around
Ryan
ACCURATE
ohmygoodness Ryan's stress-cleaning I just want to give him a hug <3333
Max's grocery system = BEST THING EVER. They're like a retired married couple <3____<3 also yes, Max would totally set up a system like this :D

I, too, would really love to move in with them. I want them in my life all the time, and that seems like the best way.
I kind of really love the idea that Jon just accepts the fact that sometimes Tom refers to conversations that never happened and moves on--maybe once or twice when he was out in LA he did call Tom really late when he was wasted and forgot about it, so he goes with Tom's weirdness in this way for a while. Eventually, though, one of them works it out--it might even be Tom himself.
Max needed to get them to have a system! Otherwise it was chaos! Anarchy! Having to eat that weird cereal at the back of the cupboard for dinner because it was too late at night to shop! And yeah, they're totally basically married.
