About Me

okay hi!! I'm emily, aka emsparkle — your favorite hot mess express and the girl who somehow made a career out of falling off chairs on stream. I cosplay, I game, I cry over anime openings, and I have approximately forty-three tabs open in my brain at all times.

I started this whole thing because growing up I was always the kid nobody noticed, and now?? now 800 THOUSAND of you watch me fumble through life in real time. which is insane. which is terrifying. which makes me want to hug every single one of you and also hide under my desk forever.

when I'm not streaming till 3am or sewing cosplay armor at the last possible second, I'm probably losing at valorant or rivals, rewatching madoka magica for the 400th time, or stress-shopping wigs I absolutely do not need. I'm loud, I'm clumsy, I talk too much, and I wouldn't trade this weird little life for anything. 💕

anyway be nice to each other, tip your streamers (only if you can tho), and if you see me at a con come say hi — I promise I'm only mostly awkward in person. love u. bye.

POPCON. THIS WEEKEND.

okay so I'm officially going to PopCon on Saturday and I WILL be in cosplay but I'm not telling u which one yet hehehe~ 🎭

here's the deal though — I wanna try something fun. if u spot me in the crowd, come up and say "sparkle sparkle" and I'll give u something special 👀✨ idk what yet. maybe a sticker. maybe a hug. maybe both. we'll see how brave u are.

fair warning: I'm 5'3", my cosplays are always more chaotic than planned, and I will absolutely squeal if u scare me. don't take advantage of this information. ...actually do. it'll be funny.

FIND ME IF U CAN. game on, besties. 💗

800K. EIGHT. HUNDRED. THOUSAND. SPARKLES.

I literally don't know what to say. I'm sitting on my bedroom floor in an unfinished Miku cosplay crying into a half-empty monster ultra (out of white monster no joke) right now so that's the vibe. this is not how I pictured this moment going.

three years ago I was streaming to like twelve people from a busted laptop with a monitor balanced on a shoebox. now there are eight hundred thousand of you watching me trip over my own feet and talk too fast about gacha games. how did this happen. WHY did this happen. what did I do to deserve u people.

I'm gonna do a special 800k stream this Friday — subscriber cosplay votes, a q&a, and yes... I will finally do the thing you've all been begging for. u know the thing. 😳

thank u all. genuinely. from the bottom of my dumb sparkly heart. I love this community more than I know how to express in words so I'll just scream it on stream instead. 💖🎉

SHE'S HERE. SHE FINALLY ARRIVED. THE STEAM DECK IS IN MY POSSESSION AND I HAVE BEEN GAMING EVERYWHERE.

this thing is literally perfect?? I can play hollow knight or oblivion in bed, on the couch, in the bathtub (don't do that), or even outside (btw don't forget to touch grass) — it's THE gaming device I didn't know I needed in my chaotic little life.

fit check btw, if you see any circles under my eyes, it's cause I haven't slept yet... and applied enough makeup. People were also staring for other reasons, I guess 💅

cosplay test run OUTSIDE for once!! usually I just parade around my bedroom mirror but today I said "emily, be brave. go outside. touch grass. pretend to be a functional human." so I did. barely.

outfits like this are always a gamble cause like... it looks amazing on camera but then you're walking around a public plaza and people STARE and you have to pretend you're totally confident and not internally screaming. spoiler: I was internally screaming.

but honestly?? worth it. the sun was out, the fountain was doing its thing, and for like ten minutes I felt like an actual main character. then I tripped on the edge of the pool thingy and almost ate concrete in front of a family of four so. balance restored. ⚖️

the fountain almost claimed me as a sacrifice but I survived. barely. this selfie is a victory photo honestly 😭💗

goooood morning sparkles ☀️✨ it's 11am which is basically dawn for a streamer so don't judge me. today's agenda: coffee (x3), attempt productivity, abandon productivity, play stardew valley until my eyes hurt. peak lifestyle.

I feel like mornings deserve documentation even when nothing's happening so here I am. documenting. nothing. for u. ur welcome.

yes I slept like a rock, yes I made myself pretty for this pic, no way you are seeing me WITHOUT makeup

genuine question cause wtf

I am currently trying to rewatch To Love-ru, and holy shit the forced ecchi scenes are such a turn-off. BUT I USED TO LOVE THIS ANIME?! I actually gave up and tried to watch High School DxD then... it wasn't a lot better. idk what it is but new ecchi is kinda more tame than old ecchi anime? Does that make sense? Cause it feels like new ecchi tries to be at least A BIT more tasteful with adding them?

weekly reminder that u all NEED to watch Frieren: Beyond Journey's End if u haven't already. I binged the whole thing this weekend instead of working on my PopCon cosplay (which is FINE everything is FINE there's still TIME shut up).

it's quiet and beautiful and makes u think about how fleeting everything is and then twenty minutes later someone's making a joke about mushrooms. it broke me in the best way. my emotional damage is permanent now. 10/10 no notes. 🌿
