A short profile, over a pink background depicting the tower in JSaB. A profile picture of a purple character wearing a hoodie with a pair of cartoonish eyes for a head is in the top left corner. The text in the image says: Beyond Shapes & Beats: A JSaB Anniversary Fanzine Capt (he/they/it) - Discord Mod JSAB was honestly a really funny coincidence that happened in my life. I kept seeing it in my recommendations on YT of comic dubs and, well, I checked it out. I REALLYY fell inlove with it, I’ve met wonderful people through the game and I even made loads of OCs because of it. This game was definitely one of my main inspiration for pursuing art as a career. At the bottom of the image are the following statistics: Favorite Player - Circle/P4. Favorite Level - The Art of War. Favorite Boss - New Game. Favorite NPC - Cube.
