I suffer from nerve damage and spine problems. I don't have to use any sort of movement aid (yet), but on many days, I prefer to avoid stairs if possible. I've found that splitting from a group is very disheartening, and brings up feelings of guilt.
a certain friend of mine has made it his mission to walk with me every time, whether it be on the stairs (going down or on a good day) or on an elevator. if we're with others, he will ask me if I want him to come with me, and will often follow me no matter what I say about it. it's nice having someone like that, even if I still feel guilty about it.
❗CRIPPLE TIPS❗
If you are in a group that includes anybody who is using a mobility aid, if you are out and about and a Stairs Situation arises, either ask them which they'd prefer, or opt for the elevator (given your group is small enough. If not, have a couple friends use the elevator with your disabled friend, after asking if this is what they prefer (they may enjoy a moment alone, everybody is an individual with their own preferences). This means they don't lose the emotional "high" of being part of a group, conversation can continue so they won't suddenly feel lonely and excluded on the solo elevator ride, which can creep in and ruin their mood especially if they're new to their disability, and there's less of a chance of confusion once you're at your destination. Nobody likes being lost, but the inherent exhaustion and physical exertion that comes with using and mobility aid is incredibly... Unfun. And distressing! This can be easily avoided and you have the chance to be an Excellent friend! We notice these things!

idk if some people find it contradictory or not but I find that I can easily like both a character and the character that killed/betrayed them. It’s like having two best friends who hate each other
happy death day to that salad dressing guy. it was a lot harder to make people so angry that you got cancelled before twitter was around, but congrats, you done it.
the Hannibal fandom on ao3 is feeding me so much murder husbands content. it's the best
not great at actually making it feel dark, though. even with all the cannibalism and making art out of dead bodies, it still always feels like a crack fic. the only ones that aren't are a few hundred thousand words long and I'm not invested enough in the content for those to keep my attention. unfortunate
