Amazing artwork I commissioned from my mutual @playfulrayz !! She portrayed Lili's batshit insanity sooo well <33

His Christmas sweater seems to be a favourite amongst fellow Pim lovers but personally I love his Brazil + beach episode outfits.... (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

I live in a country with year-long summers so it makes me feel close to him, in a way... I also wear a lot of collared, 'Hawaiian' type shirts sooooo twinsies

Disclaimer: definitely not my best writing. Again, I'm not having the best of nights, so sorry if it's indecipherable at parts.

Short answer: Pim met S/I on the job, tasked to make her smile, and she is the messiest, meanest person ever. In terms of personality, she's nearly Pim's polar opposite. They'd have nothing in common would it not be for the fact that they share many core beliefs.

Long answer: Lili is 27 and in her last year of college. She started off late as she served in the army full-time since 18, only beginning higher education upon completing four years of service. Despite the edginess of her war-torn disgruntled personality, deep down she cares for the wellbeing of others and wants to give back to her community, choosing to study Sociology to better understand how she can help people. She believes in the inherent kindness of society, holding a passion for charity and working HR for a non-profit organisation on top of college.

She loves learning and her job, but naturally, having so much on her plate on top of being a veteran caused nicotine and alcohol to become her best friends. Her roommate eventually became sick of needing to pick her sad, sorry ass up from the local bar... Which is where Pim and Charlie came in.

The job was messy. Really messy. Lili totally abused the "Smiling Friends mussst dooo whateva thee client asks until they SMILE!! :-) *NO EXCEPTIONS" rule, and the night came to a close with all three of them drunk off their asses with phone galleries filled with blurry, embarrassing photos. But she smiled in the end. And she made two new friends.

The thing is, Lili wasn't nice to Pim at all. In fact, she largely ignored him that night, opting to banter away with Charlie, who immediately clocked her as 'cool', in his books. But a hungover text from her revealed that she only mistreated the pink critter out of a trauma-shaped fear that she'd be cast aside and overlooked if she didn't match his energy. Pim sympathised.

...Maybe a bit too much.
