There are additional nihilist options https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheAntiNihilist https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheAntiNihilist But tvtropes seem to think that they are equally absurd >It's important to note that, despite the trope's name, the Anti-Nihilist is still a nihilist. A character who is optimistic and life affirming and isn't a nihilist would likely be listed under Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers! Fwiw, Terry Pratchett and the recs from this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44736668 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44736668 often manage to be fun and funny without being (explicitly?) nihilist. Suggestions for other role models? Especially appreciated would be political writers.. (in the above thread, they came close with "sex similes")
