On a day off from the [[Blue Feather]], Pessimist was wandering the [[Mainland Cloud]], annoyed at his own inability to find something tangible to be annoyed about, when he stumbled upon [[the Hat|a mysterious magician's hat]]. He briefly encountered its ostensible owner, a [[faceless magician (Magic Trick)|magician]] who appeared as a faceless phantom, which Pessimist attributed to him being a careless dimensional traveller who had phased ''nearly'', but not ''completely'', into the [[Cupid Homeworld]] by accident. He tried to hand the Hat back to the magician, but the magician pretended not to hear him and vanished. Trying to put the Hat out of his sight, Pessimist attempted to bury it, but instead activated its magic as it began to spew out a veritable tidal wave of illusory white rabbits. Pessimist spent three days buried in the mass of rabbits until it, and the hat, were made to vanish by [[Aphrodite#In the Prime Universe|Aphrodite]]. Feeling that he “might as well draw some sort of wry conclusion from all of this”, Pessimist came up with simply this: “I hate hats, and rabbits”.

=== | === Halloween 2019 === | ||
When [[Dandy-432]] organised a [[Blue Feather]] costume contest on [[Halloween]] 2019, Pessimist refused to participate, being the only member of the group not to put in at least a ''token'' effort. The day also saw the filming of a new Cupid film by the [[Department of Cinematography]], a horror film entitled ''[[The Cupid Who Hated Love]]''. [[Méliès-125]] had tried to get Pessimist to star in the title role, but Pessimist naturally refused, leading to Méliès creating a rather creepy-looking puppet version of Pessimist instead. Later, after [[Pessimist's Fog Ship|his Fog Ship]] was [[Possession|possessed]] by one of the [[spirit]]s in [[the Great Ghost's legion]], Pessimist affected not to care, although this may have been a lie.

=== Abducted by Doctor Curious === | |||
At some point, while out in [[the Multiverse]] aboard [[Pessimist's Fog Ship|his Fog Ship]], Pessimist was kidnapped by [[Doctor Curious]], a [[mad scientist]] from the [[Jynx Dimension]] who wanted a friend and had set his heart on a [[Copper-Colored Cupid]] companion. Naturally, he quickly found Pessimist to be dreary company. Instead of giving up on his dream, however, he decided to find a dead Clockwork Cherub and rewire and revive him into his perfect companion, ''[[Frankenstein (book)|Frankenstein]]''-style. Using the Fog Ship, he travelled the dimensions to acquire one while keeping Pessimist prisoner in [[Doctor Curious's Castle|his Castle]]. Pessimist then bore witness to 53 failed attempts over a number of weeks before Curious was finally ready to give life to [[Doctor Curious's Monster|his Monster]], with Pessimist being reluctantly given the “honour” of throwing the master-switch, getting a nasty electric shock in the procss. Just before the experiment, two other Cupids, [[Tom-176]] and [[John-181]], chanced upon the Castle by coincidence. After Curious, pleased with the success of his Monster, tried to kill them so that he could use their parts to create a second one, the two Cupids managed to free themselves with the Monster's help; they also freed Pessimist and recovered his Fog Ship, allowing the two to be reunited and escape together.
