May 1st will mark the beginning of my 42nd trip around the sun. Now that I am 41, I would like to invoke birthday trivia on the boy I call my son, Fblthp.
Fblthp was a happy accident.
Here's the art description for Totally Lost from Gatecrash:
Color: Blue spell (unguilded) Location: Streets of Ravnica Action: A little Homonculus is lost amidst a sea of feet on a busy Ravnican street. Focus: The lost homunculus. Mood: Poor little guy.
His flavor text would give him a name (Homunculus don't have vowels in their name). The audience began memes with him almost immediately. Seeing his popularity, we've put him in other art, made cards for him, made plushies out of him, and just embraced the joy that is Fblthp.
Happy Birthday!
