How would Papyruses who smoke react if one of their close friends (or even girl/boyfriend) had asthma?
I recently realized how much this can irritate some asthmatics, so I'm asking out of curiosity.
Have a nice day or night!!! ✨
Let me seee...... Of all my guys, the ones who smoke are Luck (mafiaswap), Copper (swapfell metal), Ghost (fellswap glass), and Pomander (loveswap). A few of the others like Stretch (us) and Lace (lovefell) (mostly any of the swaps and a couple of the fells) either used to smoke or still do every once in a while, but it'd be pretty irregular and never really around anyone, so I won't include them lol
For Luck, well, he’s smoked for a long time, and it's one of the few things that works to calm his nerves. Depending on how sensitive they are to smoke, it might be...a bit of a struggle. He might have the reflex to smoke around them often, but he'd mind himself and wholly avoid it, not even sneaking off for a smoke unless he really needed to de-stress, and then he'd probably change his clothes after.
If they were so sensitive to it just the smell of it on his clothes bothered them, well, that's where the main problem would lie, since quitting would be very, very hard for him. They might need to keep things remote under those circumstances, but if they weren't that sensitive, then it wouldn't be an issue ✨
Copper smokes semi-irregularly or usually only when alone, so it wouldn't be too hard to be mindful, and it'd be a pretty big sign of how close they were, if he actually cared enough to mind lol
But he would! The severity of the sensitivity wouldn't matter since he'd be fine to change his clothes or even take a shower after smoking if he was gunna spend time with them. Not preferred, and he may jokingly lament about it to them, but he’s still willing <3
Ghost is somewhat reserved with how and when he smokes. It wouldn't be a problem to avoid doing it, or to changes clothes or what have you afterwards, but he might need to be asked and reminded periodically, since he can have a bit of a spotty memory.
Mostly he smokes a recreational drug, though, so he might also switch over to edibles and offer some to do together, once he knew what asthma was and that they weren't allergic to the drug.
Pomander is somewhere between Copper and Luck in how regularly he smokes. Pretty often, but he’s not as dependent on them as Luck. Getting him to make accommodations might be a little tricky, he’s a bit protective of his time and the ways he spends it, so there might be times he'd turn down spending time with them either because he wanted to smoke and relax or because he already had and didn't want to go to the trouble of changing clothes and whatnot if their sensitivity was that bad.
If it were an emergency or they just really wanted to spend time together, he'd bend pretty easily, but otherwise he'd prefer to have plans and schedule his smoking times around than rather than play it by metaphorical ear 🙂↕️
Generally, for any of them that smoke at all, I think they'd really want to be considerate of the people important to them, since I pretty consistently hc Papyri as really valuing their loved ones, and doing what they can to show that <3 And thank you! You too!!
