It seems to be a thing for parents and older relatives to post pictures of their jilted children when no one shows up to their birthday parties. Remember this mom? Well, a couple of days ago, a loving and very protective sister posted the above tweet about the fact that no one showed up to her eight-year-old brother’s Stranger Things-themed party. But now, he may have booked some high-profile guests for next year.
Aaron Alambat had a pretty sweet set-up for his birthday. As you can see in the photos above, there was a Stranger Things-branded cake, Christmas lights around the words Happy Birthday, “Demigorgon Blood” punch. And OMG, I totally would’ve gone if I was invited just for that FOOD SPREAD, WHAT?! And the little dude was all decked out in a shirt that read “The World is Turning Upside Down,” and gave his best Eleven face for the camera.
Yet none of his friends showed up.
His sister Ayen was not happy, but she made sure to show that she and the fam were there for Aaron:
why was he so tense blowing the candles like that 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/enp4N0v2Ic

This being the Internet, supportive tweets from commiserating nerds made the story go viral. This caught the attention of two of the Stranger Things cast members. First, Eleven herself reached out:
What!!!! Oh Well You can let them all know that everyone on behalf on Stranger things would’ve come! I think your awesome and next year I would like an invite… Please? 😘😘😘 https://t.co/gNir0sMpsm

And if you click through to the thread, you’ll see that Ayen, and Aaron, understandably freaked out. Stranger Things‘ Dustin, Gaten Matarazzo, didn’t wanna be left out, so he chimed in, too:
Count me in too! I’ll bring the chocolate pudding 🎂🎉🎈

Even Barb (Shannon Purser) and Mike and Nancy’s mom (Cara Buono) sent along good wishes:
I hope he had a great birthday nonetheless!!! Barb totally would have been there! ❤️
— Shannon Purser (@shannonpurser) March 20, 2018
Happy Birthday! Wow, those kids missed out!
— Cara Buono (@CaraBuono) March 20, 2018
So, it’s all good. If none of his classmates want to go to his ninth birthday party, it seems as though Aaron will still be able to round up a quality group of folks for some chocolate pudding and a D&D campaign.
