My friend is visiting and I’m showing them Sunny for the first time. In the middle of Finds a Dead Guy, they decided to drop their ranking of Mac, Charlie, and Dennis.
YOOOOOOOO CREATURE OF HABIT WAS SO GOOD! Today I literally procrastinated on my graduate school homework to read it lol and oh my god it pulled me in. Charlie is my personal favorite Smiling Friend and you wrote him SO well, you achieved the perfect blend of inner turmoil and comedic moments in this slow burn. It deserves all the fanart it’s been getting (which was what brought me to the fic) and you should be so proud 💛🩷
i wrote creature of habit for myself really. i was trying to find a way to cope with leaving for college (i did my first two years at a local community college and i literally just left home two weeks ago). i wanted to express my fear of being stuck in my own habits, comforts and routine. i wanted change. but i was SO afraid of change. i felt stuck, and i felt afraid. if i’m being honest, i still am- but writing is such a lovely coping mechanism.
smiling friends is like a guilty pleasure show, and it’s made me laugh when i’ve been in a rut. so i wanted to combine my fear of change and my favorite tv show— plus sprinkle a little yaoi in there.
i really didn’t expect to get this much traction for my self indulgent fic- and every day i’m beyond thankful for comments like yours, fanart, and all of the little likes i get on my silly little posts.
all of this is to say; thank you. you literally made my day, i’m grinning ear to ear at my stupid phone. thank you tiny gay people who live in my phone. i am kissing you on the forehead. we are holding hands and watching the sunset. thank you, thank you, thank you :) ❤️❤️
