META COMMENTARY

The original drawing I did of him.
He was originally meant to be a fancharacter for a surreal Youtube series.
Lemme know if you guess it.

The second ever drawing of him, circa 2018.

By Florim's nature as a really not-serious character, he doesn't really have any established lore or anything. I have vague beats (I strongly feel as if he lives in the sewer system), but otherwise messing around with Florim is just throwing bits at the wall and seeing what sticks.

I don't exactly remember when he was originally created, though I do remember for what and where.

I'd clock it at maybe 2017 at the absolute latest, in a Discord server that I only really half wanted to be in with people that I either didn't really click with or felt actively disgusted with (at worst).

Florim escaped from there, though, and from then on I just...left him.

That is, until May 2018-ish, where I (then a high school junior, I believe) uploaded the original doodle to toyhou.se in the middle of the school day, and from then I just...started doodling him all over.

I scribbled him in the margins, drew him during tabletop club sessions, even used him for a brief stint in a Call of Cthulhu game dmed by one of the other club members (I don't know why he let me do that. Lol.)

Before I knew it, Florim had pretty much captured my heart, and that was without me ever giving him any real lore or "serious" design.

I don't remember any of these characters' names. I think the guy with the brown outline was a Russian immigrant or something?
