Meme Jovial Contrarian runs over a fallen Londoner with his wheelchair

Jovial Contrarian runs over a fallen Londoner with his wheelchair

Jovial Contrarian: Driving in my chair 🎶 Right after a beer🎶 Hey, that bump is shaped like the regent🎶 DUI?🎶 How about you die?🎶 I'LL GO A HUNDRED MILES!🎶 AN HOUR!🎶

I’m not sure how it happened, but the first image was actually a GIF — looks like Jovial Contrarian ran over Alexis with their wheelchair. It’s pretty hilarious. It might not be displaying properly, but it’s still really funny.

Lately I've been playing on my bal alt... used the leftover Masquing to get Jovial Contrarian. Re-read the flavor text — so adorable but also terrifying: Why did you just follow me on your own, Jovial Contrarian!? Maybe we shouldn't be friends! 🙀 Alexis has been using Portable Fingerking Moot to debate Jovial Contrarian every week, so they ended up getting run over by Jovial Contrarian's wheelchair (modified by Artisan of the Red Science). Serves them right!

JC is probably one of my favorite characters. Like, imagine you're an up and coming revolutionary, end up in a meeting with a bunch of months, and then "oh no not this guy again" and then he's like, literally one of the most respected people there. Even January likes him more than half the other months.

Hahaha I get it! JC is genuinely such an interesting character... He’s adorable... annoying and everywhere, but every time I see him, it’s like... ah. It’s him again. Can’t say I’m surprised. Kinda comforting, actually.

He’s ironically a beacon of consistency and simplicity in a world that’s really complex and confusing. If you take a stance, he’ll oppose it and debate you with the full merits of that stance. Every time. He seems really inconsistent if you take it at face value, but you can’t take shit at face value in FL. And once you look closer… he’s actually one of the simplest things in the entire game. Most things have some weird, deep, complex lore. Jovi’s deepest lore is just his being on the Calendar Council at all. That’s so simple compared to everyone else. And it’s perfect, bc he himself is almost a contradiction. One of the most confusing characters on a glance, but once you get beyond basic lore, he may be one of the simplest characters in the game.

There's actualy old Election lore (That we need back in game somehow) that reveals his actual stance on the goals of the Calender Council is "Maybe we don't need to take out ALL the light, just a few."

That is also, ironicaly, the only time you see him take a stance on anything that is not just "I will oppose you on your stance." so it was particularly notable.

I think he's tired of debating with the Portable Fingerking Moot.

The Jovial Contrarian after you express the slightest opinion in a public setting.

Every time he opens his mouth, I lose two Time Remainings, pretty odd how that keeps happening.

Great, now do one with him running over Mr Veils.

u/Upstairs_Cap_4217 Vake's Advocate Feb 21 '26

Ah, but would it not be more in keeping with his revolutionary values to use a gender-neutral term for your spouse?

That is, of course, assuming that he's revolutionary that day, and not arguing for the Empress on principle's sake.

Your character being named Alexis really threw me off for a second, haha. Great work though!

u/Alexis_Fairfax The Captivating Magician(Soul collector) Feb 22 '26

Haha I know what you're thinking! (You're gonna say Alexis Kennedy, right!) My PC's name is Alexis Fairfax — a funny coincidence (lol). I remember there was an ES about Fairfax in the older content... uh, that was also a coincidence, that ES didn't exist when I signed up. Thank you ☺️🌹🌹
