Know Your Redditor: PoisonousBoba

Today we're back with Meta fanartist, u/PoisonousBoba ! Let's jump right into the interview!

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Ok, ok. Let’s try to keep it interesting. I’ll start off with the 3 “important” questions. What is your favourite color? What did you really think of Star’s brownies? And who do you have a crush on?

  • Ah, the best color must go to the bright boba green, an ‘ol classic; with Star’s brownies, I could taste both the flour and egg separately, but I applaud her attempt! Lastly, I’m a rather lonely child. No crushes for me.

Here’s an oldie. Two truths, one lie.

  • Hehe, alright, here we go: one time I got stuck within the rapids the Mississippi river. The rocks were very sharp, I had lost my parents, and it is possible that I may have cried. Just a little. I, unfortunately, contrary to common belief, do not have perfect circle glasses, like how I draw myself. My glasses are actually the same as Idubbbz’s glasses. Because when I bite the peach, the peach bites back. The finger nail on my middle finger actually can’t grow back. While at a birthday party, my finger got jammed within a door, and when I got it out, the nail and nail bed were gone. It was a very messy Friday.

How old are you?

  • I’m a younger one on the sub; I turned 14 just a little while ago!

Do you have a spouse or a boyfriend/girlfriend?

  • I wish, but I’m afraid I might just live with myself and my slightly unreasonable amount of spoons I collect for the rest of time. /s

What type of clothing or headwear do you like?

  • Very casual, I typically wear leggings and a t-shirt most of the time. If I get cold (which is rather often), I have a go-to percussion jacket I wear.

Tell us a bit about where you live, what you like/don’t like about it.

  • Some would call it a glacier, others would call it Bootleg Canada, but where I live is in the very Scandinavian state of Minnesota. What’s great here is our fantastic water quality compared to more southern states, but the downfall is when father makes us cut ice for the industry winter comes around. The lack of sun here gives us quite the big sad.

Favorite places to travel? Or any places you would love to see?

  • I don’t go on vacations too often, but I love going up to Duluth in Minnesota and seeing the harbor alongside the huge ships that dock there. A place I think would be really awesome to see is Spain; I think Spanish culture is super neat and the place is extremely pretty.

Got any siblings?

  • Two brothers and one sister, I also have two half-siblings, but they’re a generation older, so I don’t see them often.

Any family members that watch SVTFOE or check out the sub or discord?

  • Oh gosh, they’d think I’m insane if they saw the shenanigans here haha. My sister will sometimes watch it with me, but for the most part I’m the looney cartoon kid in my home.

Favorite food?

  • Not boba? How could you! The seasonal shamrock shakes they sell at McDonalds. It’s a like a cup of heaven with added sugar. Wonderful.

Any hobbies you’d like to share? Or what is your favorite thing to do?

  • I love drawing, as you might guess; I’ve been doing since I was a wee-lass. I also love playing percussion, piano, and me own lil’ clarinet.

Any pets? :3

  • Two yuppers, Molly and Ruby. Molly’s a wired yorkie whereas Ruby is so noodle-y that I’m starting to believe that rather her bones are made of fibrous cartilage instead of normal calcium collagen.

What do you do as a job?

  • Ah, I live life simply as a child freeloader. It’s nice.

Tell us something embarrassing about yourself. Or not. You don’t have to.

  • A few years ago in fourth grade I had been helping out the city with some volunteering work with an ambassador program. One time, each of the volunteers had to give an organized speech to our town mayor. This would be perfectly hunky-dory if it weren’t for the fact that 9-year-old me couldn’t make coherent speech for the life of me and screwed up the word, “council members”. Get a grip, young Bobe. smh my head

What do you need to improve about yourself?

  • I need to stop being so darn sensitive. I often overthink and in turn perceive situations sometimes completely wrong, and then try to isolate myself from my friends. Hopefully I can be more confident and make my friends happy.

What were/are you like in school?

  • Heh, heheheh, I am very much not “hip” with the “lit kiddos” kill me now. Haha, just kidding, but I tend to keep to myself and stay silent. I’m also your girl if you need any sort of musical or academic help. So much so that at times that when I don’t know how to help, people sometimes say, “But you’re Boba! Don’t you know everything?” I wish I could, like Time Baby.

Yeah, Time Baby. Bah.

What is your real name?

  • I have a very common last name, so I don’t think it would matter if I said it. Sierra Smith, oh yes, it doesn’t get paler than this, baby.

Anything else you’d want to say?

  • Fun fact: in sweet ice creams, you can find the same ingredient that makes boba balls, tapioca starch, as a egg substitute.

Subreddit questions

Why did you name your username the way it is?

  • I was—and still am, just to a lesser degree—a huge Adam McArthur fan. When I joined the sub, I saw how much he loved boba tea, and decided to give it a dark spin!

Favorite part of the subreddit?

  • The community, of course. How close everyone is to each other here is really heartwarming to see. This subreddit is by far the best I’ve seen.

How often are you on the subreddit?

  • I used to be a lot more active when there was more Meta events going on, but for the most part I come around once or twice a day. At the very least, weekly.

What do you use to access the subreddit?

  • Computer, I don’t have a phone or tablet to access it through the app.

Who are your favorite users? Are you friends with some of them?

Favorite fanartist?

  • Spatz and Malthus, they were some of the first people I saw online, and their art is wonderful.

Do you read fanfiction?

  • No, not anymore, but I really liked u/Spoderman77’s story of Eclipsa, I thought the premise was really creative!

What would you like to see in the sub?

  • I’d like to see the sub keep the wonderful niche charm it has, and that hopefully everyone here is happy be apart of the fandom.

How long have you been with the sub?

  • Not too old, but not too new, I’ve been here a year and a couple of months.

What made you join the sub?

  • I used to browse around the Wikia Fandom page, but when I looked at some of the comments, they sometimes referenced the subreddit. I checked it out, and now I’m here!

What do you want to be known for in this sub?

  • A silly midwestern girl who just wanted to draw her friends and make people happy. If I can make other peoples’ day, it’d make my day, too.

SVTFOE questions

How’d you find out about the show?

  • The TV would be on and sometimes the show would play. I’d watch a few episodes, bringing me into the fantastic chaos of Star Vs.

Why do you like the show and what keeps you watching it?

  • I appreciated the plot that this show brought unlike other shows. I’m really glad I was born in an age where cartoons are being created with more substance and character. In sum, Star is just a really cool gal.

Favorite characters?

  • If you use the old Reddit format, you’ll see me with Glossaryck as my flair. The best blue boy with the best voice, both of his voice actors.
  • I also really love Marco and Ludo; their personalities I really enjoy.

Favorite episodes?

  • Blood Moon Ball by far, that song is so beautifully composed. Brian H. Kim did a great job, especially with that heckin’ cool accelerando (that’s really hard to play on piano, how do you do it, 650?). Remembering my reaction when I first saw it makes me all nostalgic and happy inside.

On a scale of 1 to 10, what is your opinion on the show?

  • An 8.5, there’s a mix of really strong and some weaker episodes, but I’m proud of how Daron’s changing what cartoons are all about. Give me that juicy juicy story.

Favorite moments?

  • Blood Moon Waltz and when Marco get the wand in Deep Dive. Any moment that gets you to say “wooooaaahh!” is enough for me.

If there was ONE thing you could change about the show, what would it be? (something NON-shipping related)

  • Improvement will always come with time with shows, but I think even then some of the filler episodes Ponyhead could be a bit more well written and less obnoxious.

Which crew member(s) behind the show would you like to meet and what would you have them do?

  • I’d love to meet Ariel, a storyboard artist. I wouldn’t want to bug her though, just a simple hello would make me happy. 👍👍

What SVTFOE merchandise would you love to see?

  • I’d love to see enamel pins you can sneak onto clothing. So small, that people might just think you’re not crazy.

If you somehow got the wand, what spell would you use?

  • Get me the ability to eat any food without gaining weight. I could drink boba for days. >:)

Alright, even though people will often know your ship, what is your otp?

  • Truthfully, I’m good with any ship as long as the build up is well executed, but man, if Studo actually became canon it’d be a hoot.

Misc questions

Now for the rest of the questions. If you could remove one thing from existence, what would it be?

  • The Pacer test, whoever decided that should be a thing deserves the pain of reading Between Friends.

Favorite book(s)?

  • The Zeroes, the Percy Jackson series, and the Bone Sparrow.

Favorite movie(s)?

  • Coco, Incredibles, and the Spiderman movie with Tom Holland.

Favorite tv shows (other than SVTFOE)?

  • Over the Garden Wall, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Hilda, 11.22.63, and the Dragon Prince.

Favorite songs/soundtracks and favorite composers/bands?

  • The Last Guardian OST, Soul of Cinder from Dark Souls lll, and Jack Stauber’s Pop Food album.

Favorite videogames?

  • Night in the Woods, Oxenfree, Detroit: Become Human, and Breath of the Wild.

Favorite actors/actresses? (you can also include voice actors)

  • James Franco, Adam McArthur, and Elijah Wood

If you could bring back one inactive user, who would it be? (under the assumption they would want to come back)

  • The moderator before Stardy and Mason, Eric. It be so cool to see what it was like for someone when the sub was just made.

First videogame you’ve ever played?

  • The very old I Spy Spooky Mansion PC game, made in 1999. I always loved the I Spy books. I wonder how that spooky mansion's doing now.

Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle?

  • Screw the lizards and amphibians, go Bulbasaur!

Who is your waifu?

  • My girl Urbosa from Breath of the Wild. That woman has thighs for days.

Now for something slightly more specific, As an artist, what is your favorite thing you’ve ever made?

  • It would actually be a tie on two things that I haven’t shown to too many people besides the folks at BL. Either this or this.

Okay, that'll do. I hope I didn't take up much time and I hope I wasn't too boring.

  • Not at all! I loved answering your questions!

Special thanks to Boba for doing this! Vote below for the next KYR!
