"I told the witch doctor I was in love with you..."

Be honest, how many of you guessed he was chosen as a monkey in reference to the "Ooo, eee, ooo ahh ahh" quote from that song /shot

I assume it's fine to submit this?? Here's the original concept sheet for Flint Sprocket from when I pitched him as an NPC to Vera. I actually really like this art and I love my loony boy, and now the world can love him too. Before I expounded on him more seriously, he was originally pitched as "the guy who sells you blatantly bootlegged toys in a dark alley" sdlfkjs

Shout out to Vera for actually making him look cooler in his official group app art than he really is <3 And just for posterity, here's his original pitch text:

~~~

Flint is a spider monkey (possibly an actual spider x monkey raider with one of those being a mythical of some kind). Thinks he's wise and sagely and gets offended when no one takes his advice, but in reality he has a reputation for being a little scatterbrained/crazy. Kind of based on a "crazy alchemist" stereotype. Brags a lot about his radical ideas, but every plan involves like 20 steps to fall perfectly into place.

Generally not taken seriously by anyone, has no stable source of income, and is incredibly desperate to sell items to member-owned characters because of this. He talks his wares up a ton but most of it is weird stuff like insect wings, lizard snot, rat tails, totally real shooting stars, and other potion ingredients.

Gets Bells from members only to immediately turn around and waste it on stuff like "magic beans" instead of actual food. Probably mooches off Pogo, who takes pity on him as a mouth to feed in the big family of raiders even though Pogo probably thinks he's one of the most annoying people in existence. Just an absolutely horrifying dude but because of his oblivious stupidity instead of through a conniving, scheming brain.

Total epitome of "I'm only coming to you because I'm this desperate." You've hit rock bottom if you're paying him. Crafting system and witch/raider lore in general is played 100% straight but then you have to deal with stupid ingredients and him.

FLINT TRIVIA

- Sparrow's assistant at the Brewing Cauldron (Collects her ingredients, stirs her cauldron, and keeps the log notes... Sells extra ingredients on the side for sandwich moneys)

- "Oooh, that's an interesting theory... Say, why don't you drink it and let's see what happens!"

- Interested in becoming a witch someday but would never, EVER steal an amulet from Sparrow out of fear she'd reject him as her assistant and leave him on his own

- Genuinely sees himself as friendly and struggles to recognize the creepy vibes he gives off. Has a heart full of love <3

- A copy-cat to his core and yet legitimately believes he's better and more unique than all of you

- He has a doctorate in acupuncture and is convinced his skill with needles carried over to his sewing abilities

- Owns too many flowers

- Almost always speaks in a number code system when referring to in-game items, good luck deciphering those riddles

- Confirmed rival of Dr. NPC for reasons I'm sworn to secrecy about. Allegedly Flint applied for the position of Lilypad's doctor, but Poach chose Dr. NPC instead for some strange reason , forcing Flint to restrict his... help... exclusively to Nightshade Town smh

- Doesn't like familiars very much as he considers them dirty thieves despite the fact his fox familiar, Ashes , is exactly that. When Ashes speaks telepathically with him, she would be best described as a spoiled teenage brat who feels like "no one understands her" and yet she quietly craves his approval and brings him gifts in return for praise

- Flint's official "home" is his yellow Jeep, parked suspiciously near the edge of a small cliff over the river that cuts through Hollow Forest. He lives there alone with Ashes

- As a running gag, Flint has no concept that Val or Val's Salon exist and this definitely won't be important to remember why would I bury this halfway down his trivia if it was important

- He wears the lantern to check who's a raider when they approach him, and also because he's easily spooked by people sneaking up from behind. The lantern is partly how he's avoided being raidered despite living in Hollow Forest, and he knows this all too well

- His teenage daughter lives with her rhino bf and never writes him and his ex-wife moved a few solar systems away

- Even though Flint's goal is to save up enough money to buy a witch amulet legitimately, if you ever gifted him one he'd turn around and sell it for a sandwich

So there you go. My genius idiot everyone, please go bother him at the Crescent Moon Market and anywhere else you see him sdlkfjsd
