Q: You have to sell one song or album that you swear is the best thing ever - what are you recommending?
just one?? I mean… I like most of Set it Off’s music? Or like most of Nerdy Prudes Must Die (best Starkid musical FIGHT ME) but I tend to listen to a mismatch of things, mostly pop punk <3

JSE (duh)… I’m not really actively in any other fandom tho?? I like lots of things but I tend to stick with JSE :)
Q: What is one piece of media that has forever changed your life? Recommend it to me, c’mon I need new things to look into.

Subnautica and JSE also changed my life cuz it led me here to streaming with my best friends <3
Q: What is your favorite game/activity we have streamed? Any favorite and/or memorable moments?

Q: Give us a short and sweet intro of yourself! Just for the funsies.
Sorry if I give you not much information about me, every time I am asked to share anything personal I suddenly become a shadow monster with no identity. But yeah, I'm Crystal, I exist. Good luck finding me on the Internet I only have Tumblr and AO3 lol. I like cats, Halloween, fantasy stories, candles, and many many things that I cannot think of right now.
Q: What do you like to do for fun? Any neat hobbies or interests?
I write, mostly. Occasionally I do art, and I also like to play video games. Oh, and I DM a DnD group.
Q: You have to sell one song or album that you swear is the best thing ever - what are you recommending?
I dunno, man, Everywhere by Set It Off or Evolve by Imagine Dragons I guess.
Q: Alright, hand over the fandoms you’re in, everyone wants to know.
Uhhh JSE mostly. I don't really do "fandoms" much, I just experience media and it lives in my heart forever until I die. JSE is the exception. But I also like Undertale/Deltarune, Slay the Princess, Ace Attorney, Danganronpa, Persona 5, Sonic, The Magnus Archives, Nightmare Before Christmas, and other things.
Q: What is one piece of media that has forever changed your life? Recommend it to me, c’mon I need new things to look into.
Tefa anything I recommend to you will surely be something you have already experienced. But for the public... idk, UT and StP probably actually shifted the direction of my life.
Q: What is your favorite game/activity we have streamed? Any favorite and/or memorable moments?
I love our AA Rise From the Ashes streams the most I think XD And StP Pristine Cut as well! I do most of the clipping so I have too many moments in my head to remember.
Q: You gotta have some fun dreams right? Any cool goals in your life?
I wanna publish a book. That has been my life goal since like... fifth grade. I actually have a short manuscript done but idk if it's enough for a novel. But the world I created for it has so much potential and I'd love to share it with others!
Q: Last question - share whatever you want! Last minute fun facts, other things you didn’t get to mention, closing thoughts, you name it. Spotlight is yours!
No don't put the spotlight on me I will shrivel up like a vampire in sun ;-; It's real hard for me to talk when put on the spot but I love how I'm comfortable with the Buds, y'know? I will talk so much and so loud when with you guys and no other time ever.
Sparky or Sparks! I also for some reason go by Sparkyinnit, Sparkathan, and other weird elongations of my name.
Q: What are your pronouns?
He/Him :>
Q: Give us a short and sweet intro of yourself! Just for the funsies.
I’m a guy that dreams of doing things too ambitious for my own good, lol. My memory is terrible, but I want to be able to make even better ones with my friends for as long as I can— ones that’ll stick with me forever.
Q: What do you like to do for fun? Any neat hobbies or interests?
I like drawing and writing a lot, but I also play piano and guitar in my free time, as well as sing! I also really like editing videos and doing tarot readings :)
Q: You have to sell one song or album that you swear is the best thing ever - what are you recommending?
No you can’t do this to me, oh no—
One song? Uh— Idol. By Yoasobi. I think that’s the song I’ve loved the most for a pretty long period of time. It’s so good!! The way it can switch from a pop-y idol song, to a more dark rap style, to a gentle piano-led melody pretty seamlessly?? UGH, it’s so good!! The usage of a heartbeat as a leading percussion instrument during the gentler parts to show Ai Hoshino’s deep desire for love, wholly and entirely, in her life? The stronger, more rap based verses showing the way Ai hides behind lies and flashy visuals to mask how she really feels to her audience? THE CHORUS?? BRO, listen to Idol. It’s full of so much good musical storytelling, and I love musical storytelling— do you wanna hear about musical storytelling and how much I love it— can I talk to you about it— please let me talk about i—
Q: Alright, hand over the fandoms you’re in, everyone wants to know.
Oh good god. Uh, my first fandom was JSE, and the ones I have after that would beeee… Cookie Run Kingdom (recently added/current hyperfixation), Oshi No Ko, Jujutsu Kaisen, In Stars and Time, Danganronpa, Murder Drones, SMG4, The Amazing Digital Circus, Starkid, Pokémon, Omori, and that’s all I really remember at the time.
Q: What is one piece of media that has forever changed your life? Recommend it to me, c’mon I need new things to look into.
I’m about to sound like the cringiest nerd on planet earth, but honestly?
Jambound. By Jamma. The gay Cookierun fic. That one.
There are so many pieces of media that have changed my life, but I don’t think I’ve ever talked about why I love Jambound as much as I do— why I literally dissolve into incomprehensible cries every time I bring it up.
There’s something so cathartic about being able to see someone learn to love and be loved in return again, especially after feeling like you’re not worth the effort and care someone is offering you. Is it a fucking cookie? A jester cookie? Yeah. But as someone who has had to live in lies my entire life, it’s so comforting to see that someone can see past the false walls and still reach a hand out towards the person you’re terrified to show. That you’re still worthy of love despite the things you may have done in the past.
Not only that, but there’s something about learning to let go of the past expectations someone may have had about you and grow past them as an actual person for once in your life that resonates so much with me.
To have been raised to be a perfect person, only to nearly crumble beneath the weight of those expectations and beliefs, is nothing new to me. Far from it. To feel like you have to be a leader— someone to follow and admire that’s always at the top of your class. That’s what I’ve had to live with for so, so long. Even now I still struggle with those expectations.
Those are the emotions these two characters have to learn how to overcome together, and every step of the way, they have one another to lean on for when the going gets tough. Even if it starts off rocky, they’re always there to support one another at the end of the day.
The final line of the fic is “he has forever to get it right”, and I hold that line so close to my heart. I want to be able to have the sort of love that I know will stick around, even through my worst moments. I want to be able to know that I can stumble and fall a million times over, but the same hand will still reach out to me every single time. To be loved every second of an eternity, to know that there is a love someone has for you that will never fade with time.
I can’t imagine anything better than that. Anything worth more in this world than that.
Reading this fic made me sappy as fuck, but it also opened my eyes to the kinds of love I want to be able to give and have for myself. I want to be seen for everything that I am and still loved despite the glaring flaws and mistakes of my past.
I feel like I could talk about Jambound for hours and still not be done with it. It’s such an awesome fic in general with really witty dialogue and heartfelt scenes— and if it weren’t for the fact that it’s mentioned time and time again that these main characters are cookies, I would recommend it more!! But my embarrassment always gets the better of me, even though I know it’s such a worthwhile read.
Please ask me about Jambound. Please. I will cry and combust.
Jambound good.
Cookierun good.
A Game of Truth and Deceit good.
Thank you for your time lmao
Q: What is your favorite game/activity we have streamed? Any favorite and/or memorable moments?
Oh god, my memory’s been so bad lately, so I can’t really remember things all too well anymore, even from just a few months ago, but I do know that I loved playing Omori the most so far with my friends. I loved it so much, I learned how to play Duet specifically for Tefa, even if I can’t entirely remember how it goes anymore. Either that, or I’m really excited to keep playing ISAT with everyone!
My favorite bit of all time of ours might unfortunately be Phantom as Jake Marshall. I hate how often I think about “I’m floatin’ in the air”, I hate it here.
Q: You gotta have some fun dreams right? Any cool goals in your life?
I really wanna be a lawyer someday! I’m currently in school for psych and criminology, but one day, I wanna go to law school and become a full-fledged lawyer! Other than that, I wanna get better at piano so that I can play and sing at the same time, and I wanna be able to create fun content that I and friends can enjoy together that is so cool, it makes people go “wow, that’s awesome” and I can talk about it for days and no one gets sick of it lol
Q: Last question - share whatever you want! Last minute fun facts, other things you didn’t get to mention, closing thoughts, you name it. Spotlight is yours!
I don’t think I really have anything super crazy to share here at the end, but I guess if you want a taste of my editing skills and the stuff I’m into, go check out my channel or TikTok! I like making all sorts of silly things for the things I’m currently doing with my friends, and I’d love to talk about them more some day! Thanks y’all!!

I have a trend of predicting things before they happen, mostly in games and shows, so much so that I have been nicknamed Tiresias. The blind part lowkey fits too.
