Saint_Coelacanth

My name is Saint_Coelacanth (pronounced See-Luh-Kanth)! I could spend a long time formulating several paragraphs to introduce myself and my stream, or I could use bullet points:

- I'm primarily a PNGtuber, though on rare occasions I'll do guitar performance streams.
- This stream focuses primarily on music production. I go through phases where I play games as well though! I will also occasionally photobash images on stream, usually to make album art or redeems.
- This is an 18+ stream. Though my language is usually fairly tame when I'm solo, in co-streams I tend to get a bit spicy with my language and topics!
- I'm a proud eccentric, and I enjoy going against the grain.
- I absolutely adore puns, both good and bad.
- This is a safe space, and I will not tolerate hateful behaviour. Though I am not LGBTQ myself, I do consider myself an ally. I still have much to learn though.
- I am neurodivergent, and am diagnosed with ADHD. Twitch has really helped me meet other neurodivergent people over the years!
- Mental health awareness is important to me, considering my own struggle with it.
- I suck at using social media, but I'm trying to get better.
- I do not like being on a schedule, as my mental health and energy levels are variable from day-to-day, and I'd rather not get viewer's hopes and expectations up. Currently, I'm most likely to stream during the early afternoon or at night MST (Mountain Standard Time).
- Large channel point redeems are stressful for me, so I prefer to keep things light. I have trouble doing the things I want to most of the time, never mind doing things because an arbitrary number was reached by a viewer!

I've been lucky so far in my time on Twitch, and I haven't had to enforce many things. Thus, I'd prefer to keep the rules fairly lax. That said, in general, please adhere to the following:

- Don't be an asshole.
- No hate speech.
- No political or religious discussion.
- No advertising unless you are someone I am familiar with, and you have my blessing.
- No backseating unless asked (music streams are included in this).
- Please speak only English in the chat.
- No spoilers!
- I am not a jukebox. Don't ask me to play covers.
- Do not bad mouth other streamers. This is not a tea party.
- I reserve the right to add or enforce new rules at any time.

I'm not going to keep track of infractions or warnings, as I'm an easygoing guy. If you make my chat uncomfortable for me, my moderators or my viewers though, you will be removed.

I use Mix It Up for my streamer bot. Currently, these are the custom commands available to users:

!BEST Will elucidate viewers on my perfect stat breeding in Pokemon.

!DISCORD Will notify viewers to contact either myself or a moderator for a link to the Discord.

!KOW Will give you information on the Knights of Whimsy, a stream team I am a member of!

!LR Will provide information on my latest musical release.

!MUSIC1 Will provide links to my Saint Coelacanth music on Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music.

!MUSIC2 Will provide links to my singer-songwriter music on Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music.

!THRONE Will produce a link to my throne account, in the odd event you feel like funding my Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

!WT Will elucidate chat on the meaning of the phrase "Well Textured".

This section mostly pertains to streaming music production. I've compiled a list of information that I believe would be beneficial to read before chatting.

- Other than a few pointers I learned in high school, I am a completely self-taught musician and composer. As such, I know little to no music theory. Keep this in mind when talking to me about music in chat.
- Music theory is a point of contention for me, due to negative past interactions and gatekeeping I've experienced with elitist musicians. At this point in time, I have no interest in learning it.
- I'm a strange guitar player. Though I'm willing to offer advice, keep in mind that it will be unorthodox, and likely conflict with established methods.
- I mainly use presets when I'm composing, as I find it far more engaging for both me and viewers to write music, rather than tweak knobs. Finding out how to best utilize existing sounds is its own unique challenge.
- Though I use a lot of synths in my music, I don't actually listen to any proper electronic artists. As such, I use synths in ways that may be a little odd to people familiar with those genres.
- I identify as a maximalist composer. I write the music I've always wanted to hear myself, and that includes duelling rhythms, melodies, and a general mindset of writing to the point of diminishing returns. It's not for everyone, but anyone but me enjoying my music is a bonus in my eyes.
- I compose entirely by mouse. It lets me create the exact notes I want without relying on my dabbling piano skills. I have a MIDI controller as well, but it's more of a toy for me than a serious tool.
- Other than the basics, I don't do use automation much. One of the drawbacks of composing by mouse is that I have no natural ways of applying automation curves; they're very tedious to draw manually. I will push myself to do this eventually though.
- You will often hear imperfections in the music I'm creating on stream. I'm of the belief that music doesn't always have to be perfect. With us entering a nascent age of AI, I think that imperfections will be what makes the work of humans special going forward.
- As a general rule, I don't like to mix on stream. I have a lot of bad habits and rely on my plugins to do a lot of the heavy lifting for me. I encourage people to learn from people who specialize at this art.

My most recent release, Rude Otters, was released on July 21st 2026! Click the album art above to check it out on Spotify!

All my music can be found on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, and many other streaming services. Links to some of these can be found above.

Listen to older tracks with a pinch-of-salt! I'm an evolving musical organism, after all.

"HUZZAH! We are the Knights of Whimsy, a collection of scrappy PNGtubers and maybe Vtubers that have quirky personalities & avatars. We also strive to stand apart from the crowd by creating unusual content while bringing good vibes and positivity to the Twitch Community!

We want to create a active welcoming environment, encourage collaboration between team members, and help each other grow as a community. We also want to get involved with fantastic causes/charities!"

I intend to eventually have several randomized redeems on my channel, but for now I only have the Veruca Salt redeem. Redeeming this will cause one of (currently) 70 things to appear on stream, replete with an audio clip! Please don't hesitate to redeem this; I made it for a reason.

I tend to prefer sandbox or non-linear games where I can make my own goals and pursue them. That said, I have played through these linear games on stream:

- House of Da Vinci 3
- The Turing Test
- Split Fiction (with Indiebyrd)
- It Takes Two (with Indiebyrd)

I'm open to doing commissions! My rates vary depending on the song length, complexity, inclusion of guitar, and how far outside of my wheelhouse your request is. I'm also open to volunteering my services for game jams if I feel the vibe is right. Please direct any queries to:
