Sigh, I've had Benny for a long time, at least half a decade. I remember when I first made him in a Sonic Fursona Maker Program, and then I first put him on paper September 2009 in Happy Tree Friends Style. Over the years, I've watched Benny grow from a super sugary HTF style character to what he has been since 2015. I liked the character so much, I wrote a book about him and all his adventures.
...However, I wrote the book with the desire to publish it one day, but when I got feedback on the book's premise, people hated Benny, as they thought his species made no sense. And when I thought about it, I couldn't help but agree. There's no specific reason he's an Almiraj, I just thought it was a cool creature. So I decided to change his species into a giant rat.
...My problem isn't so much that I dislike Giant Rat Benny, but that I... actually like him more. I've had Almiraj Benny for so long, and yet I already have an attachment to Giant Rat Benny. The thing is, I really like bunnies and almiraj, but I adore rats more.
...And deep down I am tempted to replace Almiraj Benny entirely, but... My mom and my former boss like Almiraj Benny more. I don't know what to do with Almiraj Benny. I still want to use Almiraj Benny somehow, but I don't know what to do.
