bloomer wojak
CommonA wojak variant representing an older man who, despite knowing how bad things are, chooses optimism and finds genuine joy in simple things.
The bloomer is not ignorant of the world's problems. That is the whole point. He knows and chooses happiness regardless. This separates him from the naive wholesome archetype.
