If you had to create a mascot based on your music what would the mascot be?

First thing that comes to mind is a Fall Guy's character, as long as Fall Guys doesn’t sue me. Or a Character from Gang Beasts because I love Gang Beasts.

What other famous mascots do you think yours could beat in hand to hand combat?

You know how every American high school has the same mascots that they just copy and paste? I feel like if a Fall Guy's character had to fight one of the basic bee mascots it wouldn’t even be a question of who's winning. 

Do you think that you would be able to befriend a ghost that's haunting you?

I kind of already did. My house is haunted as fuck. I’m the type of person to believe in ghosts and stuff like that, so if I sound a bit crazy just bare with me for a second. When I was younger we had some family friends staying with us and their kid was staying in the room that I’m in now. Their kid completely ruined the room, like put scratches and dents all over the walls. After that he would wake up to photos of this grandma, who was the previous owner, under his pillow or in his dresser and shit like that. She used to just flicker my lights and shit but one day I asked her out loud if we could be cool and nothing has happened since, so I guess you could say I did?

Where would your ideal house be and what would it look like?

You know those really professional looking houses that people build in Minecraft. That shit. I really like a cabin type house. My house that I’m in now has wooden walls, which is really cozy. So something like that but really Minecraft coded. Probably out somewhere in a field too. I just don’t know if I’d want it in a forest since I’d be too scared that someone could just murder me in the middle of the night. It’s my not-so-irrational fear.

What are some green flag pets in your opinion?

I think a snake as a pet is a green flag, or like a spider. Both are pretty special. And as much as I dislike mice, they’re kind of cute. You know, as long as they’re supposed to be there. Probably hamsters too. I feel like people who take care of hamsters try their hardest to make sure it doesn’t die, because you know how vulnerable those little creatures are. 

Everyone seems to have some wild hamster story. Do you have one?

I don’t, but my brother did. When my brother was like 12 he had a pet hamster and we kept it in a cage downstairs in our basement. You know how basements have those little windows? My family kept those open for some reason. One day when only my Mom was home, some sort of bird flew into the basement and the hamster had a heart attack. They had to get a new hamster that looked exactly the same and my brother found out like 10 years later. I feel so bad for that poor little hamster. 

What childhood tv show do you think has had the greatest impact on you?

Oh my God, I could list off a few. I love The Amazing World of Gumball. I was watching clips on Twitter of it literally this morning. I don't know why, but Fish Hooks as well. Would it be bad to say Victorious and iCarly now that everythings out? I mean the shows were still really good, but knowing what we know now kinda changes everything.

If you could create a new ip for any of those shows what would you make?

I think I would create a new version of The Amazing World of Gumball where the kids are in college. Make it a coming of age story for them. Their parents getting a divorce because Richard realized he’s gay so now Nicole and him are just besties. Or maybe I’d just make it my entire family lore dressed up as a tv show. It’s me trauma dumping to a bunch of nine year olds through a cartoon series.

Under what conditions would you let somebody turn you into a frog?

I would have to be able to speak, and I would want to be human sized so that I could scare people. I’d want to be making a lot of money too. Just be the rich frog in the neighborhood. Probably wearing the cuntiest outfit of all time. I’d be like a model. But also I’d have to be baby pink and have a hot pink mullet or something.

Which clothing item best represents your music?

I would say ripped jeans. In my older stuff I wasn’t really too honest with myself. I’d say the jean part represents that but the rips feel like my recent stuff. Now I’m being more vulnerable and talking about all the experiences I’ve had. I’m just not putting on a front like I used to.

What artists do you want people reading this to check out?

Well first off my good friend Jasmine, known by her stage name Jauntsen. “she’s bleeding out!!”  and “rinse & repeat” are awesome, and the new song she put out last week with Layth is really good too. I’ve listened to it so many times. Also Jish! Is really good. They are one of my favorite collaborators and they make really cool stuff too!! If you like music similar to drama trial and maybe even video game OSTs, then you’ll love them. Also cathedrals everywhere. Their song “18” is one of the best songs I think I’ve ever heard.
