Alright..little Side Project Announcement. >:D

NEVER KILL YOURSELF SMILING FRIENDS SEASON 3 PREVIEW COMING JUNE 11

This happens to me a lot, actually! I'll hear a really beautiful piece of music in my dream, but when I wake up I've forgotten it altogether 💔

The only time that hasn't happened was years ago when I was really into Vocaloid/Kikuo, and ended up having a dream at one point with a song that went something like "Oh the moon, oh the moon. How it shines brightly down, trapping everybody in its white gleam."

(Said dream also ended with this really fucking disturbing portrayal of Miku with realistic eyes for some reason, but that's an art piece for another day)

I've never done anything with those particular lyrics since making music as opposed to listening to it isn't really my thing, but I still think about it on occasion.

It's 5:25 am and I can't sleep. There's a beautiful song playing from my dream. I wish I knew how to read music notes or whatever because I have this tune in my head that needs to be written down RIGHT NOW. Oh god I hope I don't lose this tune from my sleep like all the others.

FUCK IT I'll learn music notes rn what's another night without sleep lmao

I love my this. the charactr

character i love youso badly.

^dash when someone is possessed by The Character core (this post is positive)

I would love to hear more about your toxic pim and charlie headcanons. All I can think of is Pim might be too desperate to prove something and Charlie has that "alpha male" thing

SO GLAD YOU ASKED !!!! I need to rant about this to clear things up bc I think about how Charpim would work so much and it makes me go insane bc their dynamic is fucking incredible.

Ill take this as an opportunity to do a little character study and explain why i think they would inherently be toxic at their very core 👹👹 and how I think their relationship would even function.

First off, a HUGE roadblock is the fact that they have completely different ideals. They want totally different things in life and go about life almost in completely opposite ways.

Pim's been shown in canon multiple times to want a normal, healthy, nuclear family. He wants a wife and kids and wants to raise them well and be the father figure for them that he himself never had. It's apparent that he wants to settle down, and just hasn't found anyone willing to. When he even talks to Shrimpina, he can't help puking and making a fool of himself and tossing and turning at night over it. This makes it clear that while i do NOT AT ALL think he's a virgin, Pim doesn't have a lot of experience with this kind of stuff. It's probably all been pretty awkward and never lasted very long.

I don't think that him or Charlie have any problems with being gay, but I do think that Pim settling down with a guy does inherently shatter his ideals. ESPECIALLY with the way Charlie acts. Being with Charlie wouldn't be a picture perfect movie couple, and I think that would really frustrate and disappoint Pim when Charlie doesn't act like he's "supposed" to. He wouldn't really be a BOYFRIEND to him. Pim is just a lot more romantic and holds a lot more hope in the idea of love than Charlie does. He's an optimist and Charlie is VERYRYYY much a pessimist.

The way that Charlie goes about relationships is MUCH more laid back and casual. His girlfriend (who IS CONFIRMED to be his girlfriend by Zach himself in the commentary videos, you can find it pretty easy on YouTube) is hardly ever mentioned and doesn't seem to hold much weight to him at all. To me, that whole thing with her being there kind of confirmed that Charlie casually hooks up with people/dates a lot, and doesn't really take it all that seriously. He doesn't have any intentions of settling down or moving in with anyone. Even in the ep where the fucken mustard chick was flirting with him, Charlie didn't seem to give two shits or even get a little flustered. He'd USED to that kind of stuff, where Pim isn't.

It's been a joke multiple times that even for a critter, Pim is perceived as pretty unattractive and weird looking 😭😭 and that's the biggest difference between them I think. Charlie is single BY CHOICE, while Pim is single because he can't get anyone who wants to long term date him.

If Charlie and Pim ever slept together or did anything, I think it would hold a lot more weight for Pim than it would for Charlie. Charlie is a fucking asshole! He doesn't show affection well, he's pretty inconsiderate of other people, he's very slobby and hardly takes care of himself. He wouldn't want to DATE pim the way that Pim would want to date Charlie. Pim would want to do all that mushy stuff that he's seen in movies that he's never been able to try, like holding hands and cuddling and going out to cute dinners.

CHARLIE WOULDN'T WANNA DO THAT! He's VERY CLEARLY SHOWN in canon to not be that kinda guy. He can hardly even think about himself, he doesn't have the time or want to expend the energy thinking about someone else on a daily basis. Just look at the fucking difference in their rooms--

They work at the same job at the same position, they should be making the same amount of money. And from the Brazil episode where they talk about funds, it doesn't seem like its a super lot. But Pim spent more time and money making his room look nice and his sheets and pillows match, somewhere with a nicer view and cute painted walls. Charlie just bought the cheapest, ugliest little shithole he could find.

You can fucking bet that they would not be good living together, that is if Charlie even wanted to live with him. You can literally see in the back that his sink is full of dirty dishes bro. He probably uses paper plates and plastic cups for everything so he doesn't have to do the dishes, you can bet he's always ordering nasty ass takeout food.

Also sorry, but like please open your eyes and look at the way Charlie treats Pim in the show. Obviously he cares about him and holds him as a dear friend, but he just is kinda a shitty person and doesn't do it very well a lot of the time. He's constantly fucking negative and rude, and it clearly takes a mental toll on Pim. Pim's always the one trying really hard to invite Charlie out to things, like in the alien episode. Pim just wants to hang out and tried to find something Charlie might like, and Charlie was grumpy and dismissive and tried to leave multiple times.

In the most RECENT EPISODE, he got in a physical fight with Alan and was being a dick about physical contact that he basically initiated. In the alien episode, Charlie was screaming at the aliens and ignored pim, ended up clocking him in the fucking face and didn't say a single word about it because HE WASN'T SORRY, HE DIDN'T FUCKING CARE.

they're both incredibly flawed people in completely opposite ways, and they'd both want entirely different things out of the other one. They'd both be trying to change each other, the way they literally already do in the show.

i love charpim more than anything with my entire soul, and im not trying to be a doomer about it, im just so sick of people potraying them like

Charlie: I... I like you... is that okay?

Pim: yes.... would it be okay if I kissed you?

LIKE GIRL WHAT ARE YOU SAYINGGGG THEY ARE GROWN ASS, DIRTY, GROSS MEN WITH DICK AND BALLS.

There was a whole episode where pim literally turned into a fucking crazy ass creature because he was so incredibly jealous of Charlie getting what PIM had wanted. Pim wanted to be a hero and help people and save the day and live out his little idealized world, and when CHARLIE got that and he didn't, it pissed him the fuck off. He wasn't happy for Charlie, Pim WANTED what Charlie had.

LIKE OH MY GOD, THEY'RE JUST SO DISFUNCTIONAL!!!

Their relationship would be fucking crazy and rocky and TOXIC, and that's like the whole appeal of it imo. that's literally how they act in canon. I think that the two of them could eventually work things out to be pretty happy, but it would NOT be without its hardships and it definitely would still never be anything even close to textbook.

THEY'RE FUCKING FREAKS IDK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also almost forgot, not even to mention Charlie's substance abuse and how its canonically shown he gets rude and violent. like r u kidding.

There’s something so lonely about the original drawing that I can’t quite describe

(original under the cut)

HEARTBREAKING: band you just discovered doesn't have any other songs that sound like that

The funniest hyperfixations have gotta be the ones where you watch something and go "this thing is cute. I like it. not sure if Id call it a favorite of mine but its definitely enjoyable at least" and then cut to a month later and its completely overtaken your life

Yes, me and my stinkabutt only collab for toxic yaoi 💔

Pim: @bl.rgh

Hey guys! It's been a while! 👋

I'd been working on some character studies for the main critters in Smiling Friends! Well... mostly of Charlie and Pim.

I redrew some screenshots to get a better idea of how to draw the characters! Truthfully, I ended up sketching for so long that I decided to work on my reference sheets in between. I'll leave the other sheets under the "read-more" in case you wanna see 'em! ✨

-

Here are some sketches of Charlie! The main thing I wanted to get down was how to position his nose depending on the angle he's being seen from! I had to imagine him (alongside the other critters) like a 3D model... albeit with some liberties-

I gave maid Charlie a bow on his back (because of course I did), and if I were to ink + color the drawing... he would have white stockings-

Here are some sketches of Pim! With him, I needed to get down the structure of his face based on how he was emoting. It's still complicated... but something that helps is thinking about the structure of a muppet - an adorably goofy design with a mouth that can widen greatly. Thinking about it this way helps me picture how to draw his face-

These are my sketches of Allan and Glep! I can't see myself drawing them as much as Charlie and Pim, but I felt it was still necessary to practice drawing them just in case-

I also drew all four of them on their trip to Brazil for a friend- 💖

This was the page I used to lay out some of my headcanons!

I've already drawn them in my reference sheets a while back, but basically - Charlie has pronounced canines, while Pim his larger webbing in between his fingers. They're intended to be subtle additions that allow their designs to remain as close to the original as possible-

As for baby Charlie and Pim, I absolutely love vinegar-rights' designs! They really hit the nail in the head in terms of how I would imagine the little ones to look like.

Adding onto it - I just love the idea that baby Pim is a fast boy who likes to do zoomies inside his tank. Meanwhile, baby Charlie is always tired. If you were to try sit him up, he would just flop back down on his belly or back-

This one has to be my personal favorite out of all the sketches... I just had this vision of how Charlie looks like in my head when he is yelling at the aliens, and I wanted to sketch it out. I gave Charlie's eyes some bright pupils because I wanted to see how much it changed the expression and man...

I love it.

It makes him look a lot like an angry bear or dog if you were to take a picture of them with the flash on. It was exactly the kind of expression that I was going for-

The last sketch I have is of Jennifer! The episode she's featured in has to be my favorite so far! I just kinda saw a little bit of myself in her personality-wise... so naturally I had to take a crack at drawing her-

I've considered sketching out more screenshots... but I think I get how to draw 'em at this point-
