IronyAmI

"Are you seriously serious..." -IronyAmI

Austin, AKA IronyAmI, is one of the founding members and Co-Hosts of the Cosmic Cast. He is a part-time Youtuber and Youtube Streamer. He is known for his laid-back demeanor and quirky, niche references to obscure media. He holds the distinction of being the only host to appear in every full episode of the Cosmic Cast.

 Background 

Austin was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on May 6th, 1998. This makes him the oldest out of The Cosmics. He has at least one sister. He has lived most of his life in the Deep South of the United States, and now currently resides in Florida. He has at least one ex-girlfriend. Aside from these things, very little is known about his personal life. Like Jason, he has not revealed his face or his last name.

He is speculated to be Neurodivergent, though he does not discuss it often. At first, he did not even know of the term "Neurodivergent", confusing it for the name of a Youtuber.

 Content 

In 2017, Austin began uploading Youtube videos frequently. At first, he mainly uploaded memes. In July of that year, he met Jacob and they did a commentary collab on Jacob's channel, in which, oddly enough, Austin did most of the talking. In August, he changed his name from rAUSTINm to IronyAmI, rebranding to a more Commentary-Centric format. In 2018, he began streaming on now-defunct streaming service Mixer. On these streams, he would generally play World of Tanks, while talking with Ary and Jacob. It is from these streams that the core of the Cosmic Cast was formed. In September 2019, he announced that he was taking a break from consistent content creation, as he would be busy with college soon. He therefore began uploading more infrequently. In November 2020, he broadcasted a livestream for the 2020 Election Day. After this, he decided to begin streaming in January 2021, streaming mostly Stardew Valley and the Cosmic SMP on Minecraft.

Austin's primary style of content is Video-Game Commentary videos. He has also made numerous "trash memes", as he refers to them. It is worth noting that his most-viewed videos are mostly memes. He takes influence from Commentary Youtubers LeafyIsHere, Memeulous, and EmpLemon. His memes are similar to videos by Grandayy, Dolan Dark, and Kadz. He is also known to do comedy raps, such as his Ice Age Baby rap, which seem to be influenced by 2017 Diss Tracks.

His livestreams are similar to most gaming livestreams. In the past, he has done gag livestreams, where only his chair is displayed for many hours, usually with a message written on it.

 Role On The Cosmics 

During podcasts, Austin does not usually talk much. Like Jacob, he remains silent for the majority of Cosmic Cast episodes, only speaking a sentence or two at a time when he feels it is necessary. In the past, he was known for rambling, in a semi-purposeful manner. Starting in Episode 52 of the Cosmic Cast, he began making a concerted effort to avoid this, describing himself as a "One-Liner guy" instead. He is known for interjecting with a partly-sarcastic hot take to diffuse a tense situation, for example during the 2nd MrGirl interview, where he was forced to take a far more vocal role in the cast.

He is primarily a foil to Jason, as the latter's disdain towards the former's influences (particularly LeafyIsHere) is abundantly clear. Many episodes will feature Austin rebuking Jason's takes by twisting them into a hyperbole or snowball fallacy. Every so often, disagreements will come to a head, and one of them will make an accusation (usually Jason) or a roast (usually Austin) towards the other. Typically, the elder cosmic brushes off any insults from his co-host as being stereotypical or overdone.

Behind the scenes, Austin is the primary audio editor for the podcast, and all group videos.

 Personality 

Austin is well-known for being very laidback, only pretending to be angry or upset for jokes. Per his channel name, his sense of humor is very ironic. He has stated of fellow Commentary Youtuber (and influence) Memeulous, that his favorite attribute of the British commentator was how his delivery was so ironic, that no one could tell whether he or not he ironically enjoyed the "cringy" videos he was reacting to.

There is only one noted instance of Austin ever being truly bothered by another member's actions, that being the infamous Giraffe Animoji Incident of 2020. It has not been revealed what Jacob did that caused Austin to behave this way.

Austin can be quite childish at times, yet he usually does this to get a point across.

He dislikes being interrupted, particularly by Jason.

Like Ary, he dislikes the term "Wholesome", saying that he would rather be "Uncancellable".

As part of his character as an "Astral Being", Austin does not engage in the dirty humor employed by the other three hosts. He is well-known for never having sworn nor said any racial slurs. He has, though, said the word "retard" many times, though, presumably, he is excused for it on the basis of his assumed neurodivergence. He has also argued that "Cracker" is a slur, which would mean that this is the one slur he has said. However, he has never said it unprovoked.

 Trivia 

Like Jacob, Austin is a big fan of Owl City. He has said multiple times that he wishes he were more like Adam Young, the man behind said music project.

He is well-known for his love of Thomas and Friends, something which the other hosts tease him for.

His favorite video game of all time is Mariokart Wii. Some of his other favorites are Undertale, Mother 3, Roblox, Super Mario World, Mariokart Double Dash, Minecraft, and '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doki_Doki_Literature_Club! Doki Doki Literature Club]'''. He has stated multiple times that, in his opinion, the Mother 3 OST is the best video game soundtrack of all time. In his videos, he is usually shown to be playing Roblox, particularly Roblox Speed Run.

Austin is musically talented, and has helped Jacob with his productions multiple times.

He was friends with Gaming Youtuber Yumi when they were younger.

He is a fan of Japanese Metal Fusion band BABYMETAL, and its parent group, Sakura Gakuin, having made multiple videos featuring said groups.

It was Austin who introduced the group to 7K tha god.

He is a big fan of Ironic Memes, Surreal Memes, and Anti-Memes, particularly Meme Man edits, such as Timotainment's video "Drincc". He has been known to quote the final line of this video "Thancc" on numerous occasions.

He is notorious for being the only Cosmic to use primarily Apple computers, although all four use iPhones.

Austin once showed his process for editing reverb for Jacob's (and others') impersonations of Gawr Gura's famous "a" meme. In this video it was revealed that he uses Avid's Pro Tools DAW for editing the Cosmic Cast.

In a twitter poll, Austin was voted the fans' choice for President, should the four hosts run for the office.
