#Naden lore

[llamhigyn-y-dwr]

The infamous Kino Casino episode where they interviewed Jaden and Simon about Nick. It's pretty long, so you can go into the comment section for the exact timestamps.

If you had to pick between Neith and Naden, which do you think would win?

Oooh, I think Naden just has so much more lore (that even I'm still learning about) and lived together; I think it was the first proper relationship and heartbreak that Nick ever had, that objectively, it'd beat Neith in that regard. Neith lore really only started to develop and ramp up after the Naden break up, which was late 2022. And he truly was/is a Jaden replacement/rebound through and through. Both tall, dark haired, twinks that Nick became super attached to.

I do find myself attached to Neith a lot though because I joined the Nickstorian train late in the game, admittedly, and so I knew of Keith longer than I knew of Jaden. But man, even I know Naden lore truly is unbeatable. Simply because it was the first close relationship Nick probably ever had in his life.

Jaden to this day tweets about Nick daily, so it's probably vice versa that he'll never let go of Nick. Jaden is just more outward about it than Nick these days. But they both have obsessive personalities.

Keith has his own life and goals away from being solely a Nick orbiter, he's also calmer and more chilled out than him. He'll never play into Nick's petty games. But I think that's good for Nick, someone to be his mountain that he can crash his overly emotional waves into, while the mountain stands still, unfazed.

Great minds think alike because I was literally just watching this exact video before I went to bed.
