I don't think I would have persisted enough to continue my art or my projects or anything I was doing before I met you. You've saved me from countless months of sadness and loneliness I most likely would be feeling without you, nothing that I would've done today would be remotely the same without you, even if we're distances apart from each other.
I love you, my silly slug.)

BIO:
Born and raised in the outskirts of Milwaukee, WI, a long-time enforcer of the law was put on front duty by the FBI to further investigate the conspiracies of an "underground fight club" of sorts.

But for now, he'll be participating here in The Mash Pit undercover, with nothing but his mind, his sources, and a revolver on his hip to protect him.

01 - LEVEL CLEAR!

timelines jumping left and right, stopping and starting... huh. wonder why that sounds familiar?

i think they can pull...
* tom cardy, other comedy artists, australian people, and tiktok trends/those associated with it
* the mario series, anything associated with it, first party nintendo, and all of mario's odd jobs
* chiptune-adjacent genres, videogame fanartists/fancontent, and synthpop
* videogames as a concept, media focused on them, and media that makes you go "so #RETRO!!!"
* existentialism, the passage of time, repetition, and other topics discussed in tom cardy's music
...but what would you pull then?
