Wish I discovered this sub earlier, I love Pen :D
Ever since I started the show nearly 10 years ago (my first episode was IDFB, my very first vote was Cake), Pen’s consistently been my 2nd favorite character, and has always stayed there.
Pen’s a character I always sorta vibe with when watching the show, especially in BFB/TPOT. Even if he may not be super duper important I still find him to be a joy to watch when he’s onscreen, having a very nice presence and I like his interactions with others.
With TPOT’s Team Swap I honestly came to appreciate Pen even more, especially with TPOT 16 & 17, (coincidentally my favorite episodes in the entire show). With his story I honestly found a bit more to relate to with Pen, having trouble letting emotions out and his fear of losing his closest friends. I honestly hope they do more with him again, I feel like he waa done pretty dirty in tpot 19 and 23, I feel like he’s a cool, rootable character, one of my top 3 winner picks this season alongside Grassy and Donut, and I want him to be more active (that would also mean less miserable complaining if he won)
I also have his plush! So ye I like Pen :3 2nd favorite of all time (my favorite is Grassy)
