Pim Pimling

Pim is one of two protagonists from the tv show Smiling Friends.
== Basic Information ==
Pim is the first and most enthusiastic employee of the Smiling Friends, a charity which helps people smile when they are down in the dumps. While each member has some level of commitment to the job, Pim is the backbone of the whole organization, putting his best foot forward in every situation, doing all he can to make the clients happy simply out of the love of helping others. Unfortunately for him, however, he lives in a hate-filled world where every day is a fight trying to break his spirit. Sometimes it can get to him, but his determination to always do the right thing and his realistic portrayal of optimistic people makes him an extremely likable character for many.
== Archetypes ==
=== Big Ol' Eyes ===
"Coming from someone with strange eyes too, you should learn to love yourself!" - Pim comforting his pen pal Oscar.
=== LGBTQ+ Coded ===
Throughout the series, Pim has a running gag of kissing people as a sign of happiness or gratitude. While this on its own does not confirm his sexuality, the nature of the show portrays many characters being open to different people and genders, so it is not out of the question.
=== Neurodivergent Coded ===
Along the same train of thought as LGBTQ+ Coded, many people theorize that every member of the Smiling Friends is neurodivergent to some capacity. Pim specifically is hyperactive, sometimes has difficulty controlling his vocal volume in public areas, and has multiple stims he often acts out like flailing his arms and yelling. Him kissing people as mentioned before could also be a social stim for extreme levels of emotion, like how some neurodivergent people bite others when overwhelmed with happiness.
=== Creacher ===
Pim is a critter, which is a separate species from humans in the Smiling Friends universe, although there is very little differences between the two besides physical.
=== Pathetic ===
Pim tries his best to make the world a better place, but the world often does not reciprocate that. A good portion of the humor of Pim's character derives from his happy-go-lucky demeanor being immediately interrupted by the "cruelties of reality." It never becomes so much that it feels mean-spirited, but it makes you pity and want to hug him.
=== Quotable Catchphrases ===
* "I love kids, Charlie! I LOVE KIIIIIDS!!"
* "Let's go out there and make people SMILEEEE!!"
* "I NEED that fat boy." (he never said this, but fans like having him think it in his mind in Charpim art)
=== Smol ===
Very short as seen in the images. Can probably be picked up with ease, but he might not like it.
=== Stubby ===
He has the proportions of a human toddler. This isn't just because of his species; the members of his family all look more developed than him, even the child.
== Fanon Tropes ==
=== Animal Theming ===
Due to Pim once saying "I played [Gwimbly's] games as a little tadpole!" along with him originally being planned to be green in coloration, fans tend to associate him with amphibians, sometimes drawing him with a tail and axolotl gills.
=== Theme Song ===
"PINK and YELLOW"
== Subverted Tropes ==
=== Perpetual Smiler ===
Being the "optimist" of the group in a TV show, you would expect him to be constantly happy no matter what happens, but Pim is not afraid of showing his other emotions when the time calls for it, like getting annoyed from petty arguments or feeling sympathy for others when they experience loss. These moments of putting on a serious face make his moments of optimism feel much more joyful by comparison.
