ScopeY: Heyo! Welcome to the interview, I'm glad you couldā€…makeā€…it. Grab someā€…Oreos if youā€™d like, and justā€…make yourself at home. To start off easy, how are you feeling at this time?

FatherArls: Iā€™m feelin' grand, just took a shower so Iā€™m as squeaky clean as a motherfuckin' rubber ducky.

ScopeY: Lovely! Nothing quite better than feeling like a rubber ducky. So you are feeling quite fresh for the interview. Though, I must remind you, we also have 13-year-olds in the audience. Anyhow, you seem to have found a nice place within the Genius community in a short time. How do you see yourself within this community, and how have you enjoyed your time so far?

FatherArls: Not too short of a time but yeah, we out here. šŸ˜› The Genius community is amazing; itā€™s like a second family with family members from like, France, Mexico and Norway. Weā€™re like, an instant adopted family, Itā€™s pretty rad. I see myself as a normal person here. I can be myself, I respect and admire the fact that a lot of people come here and unite with the same thoughts. Just being able to be yourself and share thoughts and other similarities. I have a lot of care for people, no matter where you come from or who you are. If people can spread hate for no reason I can spread love for no reason. I enjoy coming back; It amazes me how users, editors, mods and staff, contribute and take time and make efforts and do research..(not to mention their kindness).ā€“ Thatā€™s a talent and I value what everyone does. Honestly. Without the community thereā€™d be no Genius, and when you enjoy the environment, it makes it easier to return.

ScopeY: Very cool! Great response, I totally agree. This wonderful community is like a second family, and I think that is the case for a lot of us. I especially like the part where you mentioned Norway, probably the best country. Speaking of Norway, you also frequently participate in Get Involved, hosted by this awesome Norwegian whose name I cannot remember, and one of the ideas that you suggested, Celebrity Crushes, became the most popular one. Why do you think that is?

FatherArls: I saw that! I really enjoyed the fact that a lot of users participated, it was interesting and fun to check out what everyone was putting. These people are fucking funny! xD (oh shit, Iā€™m sorry 13-year-olds.)

ScopeY: hahaha amazing. Letā€™s switch our focus to music, real quick. On your profile bio you write that you are ā€œmusically diverse,ā€ and youā€™ve also shared your own specialized playlist on Genius, which was well-received. How did you first fall in love with music, and what is it about music that you love so much?

FatherArls: Hell yeah, always a great topic. Yeah, I didnā€™t think adding my silly playlist wouldā€™ve popped but It did. I was genuinely happy when people shot me DM's talking to me about it. I was very appreciative; brought a tear to ma eye.

Music, aaah. I love it. Thank God I stumbled across this page to meet these amazing people that have that in common with me. People are so talented man, itā€™s amazing to me. Music from the 50's, 80's, 90ā€™s, 2kā€™s to music thatā€™s hot and poppin' now. Iā€™m into everything. Jazz, Rock, Rap, Latin, Folk, please you name it. But i'm mostly into Alternative. A friend of mine said to me, ā€œIā€™m a lover of music, a new song is like a cold coke on a hot summer dayā€ lol. Iā€™d consider learning more languages to start jammin' to even more music. Iā€™m always down to meet new underrated artists and check out new songs, always looking for something new.

ScopeY: The love of music is strong in this one. Are there any specific music genres or any specific artists that you just cannot listen to?

FatherArls: Honestly, no. Well maybe, Tuvan throat music.šŸ˜¬ I have unfavorite artist of course. But I'm very open to anything and everything.

ScopeY: Very open-minded. Thatā€™s good. I gotta YouTube some Tuvan throat singing after this interview session to see what that is all about, maybe Iā€™ll discover my fav new genre. Moving away from music to something a little different; what scares you the most in life?
FatherArls: Hahaha, I dare you.
Spiders. I have a spider phobia :0

ScopeY: Oof, good thing there are no spiders on Genius! What is one thing you would like to change about your life?

FatherArls: Nothing. I regret nothing, I keep going forward and I keep looking forward to the future. I know that sounds super clichĆ© but without none of the things Iā€™ve done or had gone through so far, I wouldnā€™t be the person I am today. This 2020 was fucking bullshit and impact-able, it made me realize, we really are nothing in this world. One second we could be cozy as fuck not giving a single damn and the next BAM. ya know what I mean? Yes I want change, for the better. i'm sure many can relate to that :D

ScopeY: #NoRagrets. This is a very mature way of looking at life and the world, gives you a nice perspective on things. I can respect that. If you could do whatever you wanted, what would you do?

FatherArls: Thereā€™s so much I wish I could do honestly like, starting a food company for people in need, be able to feed and clothe lots of kids and people someday. Thatā€™d be beautiful. I just think, no matter what state youā€™re in, you can never have too little or too much to give out to people. We needa help each other out. I know itā€™s hard for the world to be like, ā€˜'Oh yeah! I love this person because weā€™ve are completely different and opposite from each other ". Weā€™re quick to point out negatives and differences. In a perfect world, weā€™d be more united.. and kind and giving. Other than that, Travel and meet ScopeY, ever heard of him?

ScopeY: Oh wow. This is actually quite inspirational, I can really dig your positive vibes and wanting to do good. I'm sure the ScopeY guy wants to meet you as well. You might have mentioned once or twice that you are Mexican. What is it about Mexican food that makes it the second-best cuisine in the world?

FatherArls: I was born in Missouri here in the US, but practically raised over there. Itā€™s unique, just like any other plate from a different culture. Mexicans' are big on spices. Ask snazzycactus about it :D

ScopeY: Nice! Food is pretty great. For those who might be wondering, the number-one cuisine is obviously Turkish. If you could be born in any other generation which generation would you choose and why?

FatherArls: The 70ā€™s! Oh my God, I always say this, I was born in the wrong generation. Although 2kā€™s were cool but the 70ā€™s? shit, the fashion, the hippie culture, it was a very strong year. ā€“I donā€™t know, I just get really inspired when it comes to the 70ā€™s. Iā€™m secretly a hippie from the 70ā€™s šŸ˜

ScopeY: Oh dang, we've got a wild hippie on our hands. Let's go from the past to the future. Where do you see yourself 3 years from now?

FatherArls: Happy. In the military or on the verge of having my masterā€™s degree on being a therapist. Iā€™m a hopeless romantic, I have to meet the loml by then. šŸ˜Œ

ScopeY: Romance is in the air. That is nice. A couple of people may also have expressed some admiration for you. Who do you think is your biggest fan?

FatherArls: This is what makes me love this place. The vibes, the culture, the kindness. I admire everyone in return, I really do. I donā€™t have fans šŸ˜‚
ScopeY: I'm your fan, so that is at least one fan. Whatā€™s a fun fact about you that many people might not know?

FatherArls: Hmm, Iā€™m 5'1 šŸ˜³ I am extremely indecisive. I think Jake Gyllenhaal is hot. I like yellow flowers, I think theyā€™re very lovely. I listen to Rock when Iā€™m upset. Iā€™ve went on the worldā€™s biggest zipline for my birthday one year. 90% of my shoes are black. I feel very comfortable wearing neutral colors. I also think laughing and oldies are very therapeutic.

ScopeY: Ooh, a lot of fun stuff! That's more than I expected. When I look in the mirror I see Jake Gyllenhaal. He is one of my all-time fav actors. What do you like to do when you arenā€™t on Genius?

FatherArls: I like to run, being un-active for too long makes my body ache. Going to the gym wearing a mask on the whole time isn't too fun for me. Lots of listening to music, if iā€™m not doing that iā€™m practicing on it. I actually really enjoy to work, I like being occupied and distracted, or i'm studying. Going out, hanging out with friends or my family anything really, I just hate being bored.

ScopeY: You like to stay active, I see. That is good for the body, mind, and soul. Interestingly, being active is what makes my body ache. What are your plans for Genius down the line, and how long are you planning on staying on Genius?

FatherArls: Only time will tell, I mean, Iā€™m a pretty basic person. Might fuck around and stay here 10 years too

ScopeY: I think we all know you are far from basic, and would enjoy seeing you around for many years to come. Before we go, do you have any final thoughts you want to share with the good people at home?

FatherArls: I love you.

ScopeY: And we love you! Thank you for taking the time to sit down with me this fine evening, and I hope you've enjoyed this as much as I have. This has been a lovely experience. That's all for now, folks!
