exclusive interview with Twitter celeb!

QUALY THE LIGHTBULB confirms gender, location, attractiveness

The anonymous Qualy admin (not Frances) agreed to the first ever quinterview, brought to you here on EA Lifestyles. We talk Huel memes, strategy docs, and Qualy’s origins (memetically and geographically).

Who came up with the Qualy account? Why make an anonymous collaborative plush-anthropomorphized-lightbulb account???

Ah this takes me back. Frances was the one who originally came up with Qualy as a mascot (see

Then this became a bit of a running joke between us, because I happened to already be a sentient lightbulb

Then one day I thought it would be funny if we made a little shitposting account together. And the rest, as they say, is history (see rare archival footage of the Qualy admin dms)

Iconic! That first week you posted dozens of pure bangers. Did you have these saved up or did you think of them all in a few days?

They were just straight off the dome

the ground for EA jokes was so fertile back then

It was easier to make EA jokes then? What's changed? Related: How has the account changed since you started it?

There were a ton of EA traits no-one had ever made a joke about

Huel, shrimp, putting probabilities on things, getting out of bed saving a billion future people!

A huge banter overhang just ripe for the taking

Besides that I haven't changed that much. I'm proud to be a simple mascot cheering on EAs and making my little jokes, there doesn't need to be anything more

Is there any "strategy" for Qualy? Any future plans? Or is it pure in the moment vibes?

Naturally we sometimes write a strategy doc or two, or plan some dastardly scheme

But that's just a side effect of EAs hanging out, the best side of Qualy is pure in the moment vibes

Someone once told me the other Qualy admin is an average-looking bloke from Bristol. Comment?

Sure why not

That hardly even narrows it down

Alright, I think that's all from me - anything else you want to add?

I'd just like to thank you for pioneering the novelty EA twitter account as a concept

you walked so I could run fr
