Smoothie Johnson's Links
A burning requited hate. Smoothie has done a lot of dirty, vindictive moves to get even with Copernicus, most notably telling Archibald his dead/legal name. He regrets that, but still hates Copernicus with a passion, and he enjoys pushing his buttons and picking on him as much as possible
Copernicus does not think it's possible to hate a person more than he hates Smoothie. He despises him for a variety of reasons, but the sharing of his dead name definitely makes the top of the list. He has contemplated violent actions to get even before, but never successfully acted on them.
Smoothie! Edmund utterly ADORES Smoothie with all his heart.
Smoothie was roughly the first person outside of his family that Edmund made super close friends with.
Edmund appreciates Smoothie and his presence more than he could ever say. Plain and simple, Edmund loves Smoothie with all his heart! If he wasn't already involved with the man he wanted to marry romantically, he would marry Smoothie platonically. "Just for funsies!"
He deeply appreciates Smoothie's kindness towards him, and ADORES when they go out together and shop.
He really feels like he wouldn't be the same person he is today without his bff's friendship. What they have is special, and Edmund knows it 100%.
