#flom

Probably some sort of cave-dwelling creature that rarely goes outside. Rodent/lagomorph or some salamander. Must be a little pathetic and miserable-looking, too.

6. What is THE thing(s) that inspired you to make the character? Would they like it?

Venom (2018) Possessed characters/two in one characters have always been my jam, but I didn't have ideas for anything like it for this game at that point. Then that movie's dynamic made it click that I wanted a pathetic miserable guy who has such a crappy life that the possession is a net positive after the initial ????!??!? Even better to make him some lowly Inquest guy who didn't even want to be in there in the first place.

Flom would like the movie okay at first, then HATE it. It's good fun so he would be 50/50 between laughing and cringing at the similarities, but then Zar'gol would get ideas and start asking if he can chomp a mean guy's head off. That's a mental image Flom does NOT want, and since Zar'gol is in his head...

7. Have they changed much since their first concept? Could they be considered the same person? If not, would they get along with each other?

Not really. Some stuff about his story are still in limbo (they depend on other characters' stories), but the core is the same.

8. What's the first important bit of lore you came up with for them? Did it ever change?

I'd tell you these guys mean the world to me. I never really understood loving a group of YouTube rs til I found out about these guys. So much of their humor is just like my friend group's, and it makes me so happy to see them being chaotic as hell together. Cuz we all know that beneath that they do care abt each other (you don't get to make racial jokes to people you're not rly close with) and it's so sweet to me, in a very ironic sense cuz they're rarely nice to one another.

Even something like watching animations for Frog House makes me so damn happy- there's one video that's a whole 8 minutes of chaotic content from them and it's my favorite video in the world- I love seeing how other people draw each of them, and it warms my heart to see some of those animations and art pieces get reacted to.

Frog House is such a comfort for me nowadays in the sense that they remind me so much of my friends. I can't see my friends all the time, but I can always replay a Smii7y warzone video or go back and watch all those Canada vlogs for a good laugh. I was prompted to write all this out today because I felt so shitty- I was doomscrolling trying to stop a panic attack when I came across a Clooless clip. Instantly a smile was on my face and I was laughing right along with them.
