Happy 3rd Anniversary Arlo the Alligator Boy! ^v^

As someone who only just joined this fandom late last year, I still wanted to celebrate its anniversary, as this little film has managed to mean a lot to me in such a short amount of time.

When it came out in 2021, I can remember seeing maybe one or two YouTubers talking about it but not many others, making it easy to just brush off. It wasn't until December 2023 when my friend @toondandy convinced me to give it a watch - and I'm SO happy I did! ^v^

While I can't say it's my favorite movie of all time, it's certainly in my top 25 simply through being such a happy and positive experience that I just really admire and appreciate for being so genuine with its heart and its charm. As someone who enjoys fun characters above all else, I love the chemistry between the cast and the found family aspect, I love the absolutely spectacular animation and music of the film, and I love the themes of body positivity, identity, optimism, and the importance of community.

By the time I joined the Arlo fandom, it was pretty much dead (which was to be expected, given that this was a Netflix fandom that hadn't seen any canon content in forever - though I did enjoy going through the backlog of adorable fanart I now had, haha, shout-out to @vanillaearwig for helping keep this new lowkey hyperfixation of mine going through their incredibly cute and really great Arlo art ^v^) but while I was somewhat disappointed, that didn't stop me from thinking about these characters nor did it stop me from sharing the movie and TV show with my brother, my best friend, and another online friend of mine (who I later commissioned to make me an Ansel plush, which I still love to bits! ^v^)

So yeah, tl;dr: Wish I could've watched the Arlo movie and show when it first came out, but hey- better late than never! So yeah, happy 3rd anniversary to a wonderful film and show that (despite Netflix still being a bit of an animation garbage fire rn) I hope gets a sequel or another sort of final follow-up sometime in the future ^v^

Also, for the record: My Top 5 favorite characters in order are Ansel, Arlo, Marcellus, Furlecia and Teeny Tiny Tony; my Top 5 fave Arlo songs are Better Life, Something's Missing, Beyond These Walls, Beautiful Together, and More,More,More; and my Top 5 I Heart Arlo eps are In The Blue With You, Make A Fish, Be The Turtle, The Shedding, and Swamp Itch.

I love your blog! can you do a fanfic for the rfas snap chat and instagram like would they be mostly mc or etc.

Hi hi!!! Aa thank you so much for the love!!!!! I know you put fanfic in the request but I wasn’t quite sure how to incorporate this as a fic so I did them as headcanons, I hope that’s okay!!

Yoosung

Snapchat:

Probably the most likely out of the RFA to keep up streaks

His story would have lots of photos of his LoLoL wins, new armor he’s gotten in the game, etc.

His streaks would mostly be “good morning” and “stayin’ up late” photos of his face with big eye bags from playing too late

He’d probably prefer snapchat to regular messages for talking with MC because it feels more personal to him

He’d love screenshotting snaps that MC sends him that have her face in them (with her permission, of course)

Instagram:

Doesn’t use instagram a lot

He thinks that it’s too much work to keep up

He’d occasionally post LoLoL memes and share random posts that he liked on his story

Every single time MC posts though, he’ll absolutely share it on his story with a whole paragraph about how much he loves her

Once they’d been together for a while, Yoosung would for sure do anniversary posts

Zen

Snapchat:

Selfies for days!!!!

I mean, would you expect anything less from this man?

His snaps and his story would be entirely selfies

Though, when he meets MC and they start spending all their time together, his story would slowly start to be taken over by pictures of MC and him just having fun and hanging out

Instagram:

He’d have a pretty big following on instagram due to his rising popularity so he’d definitely keep up with it

Most of his posts are casual selfies and performance clips

Since his following is 99% fans, he has to hold back a bit on posting pictures of him with MC, as much as he does want to show everyone how much he loves her

Roughly 1 in 20 posts would have MC in them

That won’t stop him from going all out when he does post pictures of the two of them together, compiling tons of photos into one post with super long descriptions talking about how lucky he is 

Jaehee

Snapchat:

She definitely would never post on her story

She would absolutely not care about keeping up streaks

She’d often use snapchat just for the messaging function for speedy communication

Why take a picture when all that’s important are the words?

After adding MC, she’d slowly start to enjoy sending selfies

Seeing MC’s smile and the way her eyes light up in the snaps she gets back after sending a selfie make her day

Instagram:

While working at C&R, she wouldn’t post very often

Maybe the occasional photo of a weekend outing, which we all know would not be often

After quitting and starting her cafe, she’d start posting lots of photos of fancy coffees and desserts that she sells

She’d definitely do a bit of promo on her account for the cafe to try and get more foot traffic in the shop

Jumin

Snapchat:

Oh god, this man is horrible at using snapchat

If you think his photos are bad normally

Man, you’re in for a treat

Since it’s an even more casual setting than the messenger, he’d care even less about the quality of the pictures he takes

MC eventually recommends trying to take videos instead of photos because hey, maybe it won’t matter if his hand is moving if it’s a video

She was sorely mistaken

His hand is always so shaky while taking videos and always ends up half covering the mic so it’s hard to even hear what’s going on

He loves when MC sends videos back though because the sound of her voice never fails to put a smile on his face

Instagram:

He wouldn’t have a personal instagram account, but would 100% have an account for Elizabeth the 3rd

He wouldn’t dare take the photos himself

He’d hire a professional photographer (let’s not kid ourselves, probably V) to take the photos to “properly capture her beauty” and hire a social media manager to keep up the account

Saeyoung

Snapchat:

Pretty much only in it for the filters, you can’t convince me otherwise

Loves sending photos of Yoosung with the puppy filter on without telling him to pretty much everyone

His favorites are the voice changing filters

Posts about his babies (a.k.a. his cars) on his story a lot

He wouldn’t want people to be able to track MC to him, so he probably wouldn’t post anything of her on his story

But he would love sending her funny videos throughout the day because he loves her reactions since they mean that he made her happy, and that’s his main goal in life

Instagram:

He’d absolutely run a popular meme account under a fake identity

Lots of Long Cat memes

He’d definitely have flex credits, like that one meme account that got direct permission to repost Elon Musk’s tweets with credit

He wouldn’t ever post photos of MC’s face, but he’d do anniversary story posts of them holding hands of something like that

February 6, 2021

February 8th is the 3rd anniversary of Nijisanji, and to celebrate I want to give you a quip about every single extant member of Nijisanji... since there are over 130, that’s including ID, IN, and KR... but not VirtuaReal, because they are not on Youtube and also.... China... it’s split into three parts. Part 1 covers everything up to the merger that happened on the beginning of 2019.

First Wave

Tsukino Mito - The iinchou. One of the original seiso gone wrong. Mito is something else, a term I used for Haato, but Mito’s degeneracy feels very different. Mito is much more cynical, definitely likes gore like Korone, and definitely one who calculates things. Haato is just beginning to figure out how to play out her degeneracy, to great effect, but Mito knew the future. In that sense, she fits the Student Representative nature.

Remember that Mito is kind of like Sora in Hololive. This comes as the major source tension, for Hololive, it’s the tension of being an idol and being oneself. Here, it’s more like how to best express oneself within the limitation of the medium. It seems similar, but the feeling is quite different, and that’s what makes Nijisanji so different from Hololive.

Higuchi Kaede - I heard she plays the trumpet. Hmm, that’s all you need to know about this person. If you were in band, you know the instrument determines your personality. Trumpet people are outgoing, brash, but ultimately a nice group of people. The girls, in particular, have a cool side to them, even if they present feminine. They are going to be good friends, with no worries of love blossoming. Usually referred to as Deron, which roughly translates to a slobbering napper... and part of JK Gumi with Mito and Rin.

Shizuka Rin - The functional leader of the group. She’s the competent one, pretty good at gaming, pretty good at hosting, good at being both boke and tsukkomi, also good at drawing apparently. Also good at language as well.

Yuki Chihiro - A soft spoken loli who plays a lot of shooters, and is pretty good at them. Also quite pervy at times. So, just your typical salty gamer, who happens to be a magical girl, apparently... so in another word, a brat.

Elu - Full name, Snow White Paradise El Santo Flow Wasurena Pure Princess Livre Love Heidern Dokodoko Yattaze Valkyria Passion Alfr Noel Chakoboshi Eluaria Frosia Made-in Bloom Elu. Shares the illustrator with Hal Shibuya, Toya, Sister Claire and so on. Started out as a talk streamer, known for her wide range of voice, she shifted to playing Minecraft as you usually do. A bit lacking at top, but tries her best.

Shibuya Hajime - Not to be confused with Shibuya Hal, who was affiliated with upd8. One of the more proficient players in Nijisanji, from his start as pro Getting Over It player, to giving tech advice, and eventually establishing himself as a pro PUBG and Apex player. Apparently did some odd tweets that got him under fire, but he’s better now, apparently. Probably why he did so good at the imagination tournament.

Moira - A goddess, you know with ara ara and everything. Apparently seems to have her head above her clouds... which makes sense considering she’s a goddess.

Suzuya Aki - We have a cross-dresser, everyone. According to TVTropes, he’s affably evil, you know the type. Apparently the most normal of the first wave... and as you have might have guessed Toya really likes this kid. It figures.

Second Wave

Morinaka Kazaki - Another loli character, but has an adult form. Formed a duo with Gibara for some goddamn reason... childhood friends with Emma August, and strangely seen as mother-like, although she looks ten half the time. It’s odd.

Mononobe Alice - Not a loli, despite the appearance... and some of her acts. Has a decent grasp in English, which is really pretty cool. Not much other than that.

Suzuka Utako - The shotacon of the group, and just the most perverted person. Usually has a deep voice, but actually has a pretty wide range, and therefore a really good singer. First Nijisanji member to get banned, apparently.

Fumiko Tamaki - Very much Nijisanji’s own Okayu, including the bad live streaming environment, and having a cat of her own, who is just the most bad of kitties... but even more like a cat in how her schedule is what she feels like... apparently got 250 grand by sleeping. Well, sleeping cat is a staple. Also has a tendency to get her jaw taken out... you know those people. As you might garner, very clueless with technology.

Yuhi Riri - She’s from the future... She has a nice boyish voice, but usually is the butt of the joke due to her lore, so no one comments about it. She seems nice.

Ienaga Mugi - Shares the illustrator with Rin, a shut-in who loves video games and her onii-chan, one of the few who actually grows in age. Pretty good musician, likes to flirt with Riri... which is interesting. Had her identity revealed at school... yikes.

Ushimi Ichigo - She’s a strawberry milk sea slug, which is just the coolest thing. Has a father-daughter relationship with Belmond, and good at drawing. Got some cool advice from Matsuri... which actually, uh, isn’t really a good idea, isn’t it?

Kenmochi Toya - Speaking of not being a good idea to be next to lolis... many people point to the double standard about female vtubers being creepy as kind of a quirk, compared to men, who would go straight to jail... and I point to Kenmochi Toya.

He’s a good host, strangely like Matsuri or Marine, apparently the son of Mito, which Mito likes but Toya doesn’t... go figure. Has that v-line chin that is parodied a lot, and likes to rap... which also feels like a Marine thing. Sorry... he’s pretty good on his own.

Fushimi Gaku - Cheerful man who does a morning show and plays horror games. Kind of plays the father figure for the second wave... but also has a dark side, which makes sense considering the children above. Also fit with the horror games above.

Gilzaren III - Rarely streams, but hangs around in the chat a lot, like he’s some kind of an official lurker of Nijisanji. Also speaks with a pretty high tone, which doesn’t quite fit, although this might be a ruse... it’s unsure.

Nijisanji Gamers

Kanae - Kind of have his head in the clouds, which fits the lore of having amnesia. Kind of the leader of the Gamers, and one of the best at gaming. Does long streams and everything, likes PUBG but venturing to Apex and the likes. Good at Minecraft, too. Usually works with Kuzuha, leading to that famous clip... such a good classic.

Overall, a really solid streamer and personality in general. A real gem for the crew.

Akabane Youko - Rarely streams, but she is good at gaming. Has a wild laugh and so people still like her... huh, in some sense she’s the female Gilzaren.

Himawari Honma - Gamers 2nd Generation is an absolute goldmine. There were three, one of them retired, but you still know her (wink wink), and all three are just fantastic. Probably the best is Hima... one of those empty-head people that is really good at gaming... you know, Aqua, but somehow better, least to me.

Like Aqua, she's a pretty good singer and she likes vocaloids. But Hima-chan is like a sunflower while Aqua is an... onion. I mean onion could be sweet, but it always gives off a bad taste at the end, while a sunflower is a pure delight. Just look at her, her emptiness is a light, while Aqua’s emptiness is dark. (You can tell my bias here.)

I never like the dumb sterotypes, but Hima is so warm and comforting in her emptiness that you cannot help but smile at the airhead. She’s just such a good vtuber.

Sasaki Saku - She’s the hot-headed of the three, well two. She picks fights with everyone, including people like Belmond or Yashiro, and they fight back because she’s just an entertaining fighter. She’s entertaining, period.

Kuzuha - Probably one of more well-known male Nijisanji members. Went on the Suisei route, as in, he was independent before joining Nijisanji. Plays FPS with Kanae as mentioned before. Pretty good player, but better at banter. Kind of a mischievous person who is actually quite shy... a little of Pekora in the person, except Kuzuha is more annoying than truly like a villain that is Pekora.

One of the people who says cannot sing, but can actually sing very well. Just overall, a great talent to have and just fun to watch, especially in collabs.

Shiina Yuika - Likes Nintendo, and also does a radio show on YouTube. Actually did a radio show as well once. One of the brutally honest people, and a trouble-maker.

As you kind of expect, Sasaki Saku was the one who really got her into the groove, and during her what-turned out to be an absence, Shiina did feel a bit down. Likes to sleep, which makes sense in the context. Not the best at gaming, but still a fun player.

Aqua really likes her, which is interesting since she shares the illustrator with Okayu, and therefore the two are close friends... and they would go after the poor onion.

Makaino Ririmu - Supposedly a succubus. Definitely headstrong and kind of a loli, so there’s a pretty wide fanbase for her... but she’s honestly a good-hearted person. Just look at her collabs with Kou or Lize... she did calculus for a stream?

SEED 1st Gen

Ryushen - Real name, Sengawa Midori. Singer of uncertain gender, so I’ll use ‘they’. Known to be the planner, and a good one at that. Friends with Sister Claire, and their junior, Kakeru and Hayato. Is part of the group, ‘Rain Drops’ with five other members. Originally stated to be part of VOIZ, a male pop group, but as stated... ‘they’.

As for personality, they are a cool kid, friendly with others. Not a bad person to watch.

Hanabatake Chaika - Muscular Okama Elf who wears a maid dress. Very cool personality, a rough and tumble kind of person. As with the description earlier, the concept is odd, but the person is odd in a more palatable way. Honestly, one of people I would try to seek to watch in Nijisanji. Apparently the cross-dressing thing was enforced, rather than a personal choice. Got turned into a robot once.

As for an example, his 3D debut was actually months after he has gotten them and actually used them in collabs and TV interviews, so Chaika skipped right to the shenanigans instead. Perhaps this spontaneity is what makes Nijisanji 3D better.

Yashiro Kizuku - Concept is a systems engineer, likes rhythm and retro games. Friendly with a lot of people, especially with Sasaki Saku, which they host a gaming show. It’s really fun! They are a good bickering couple. The show is kind of a good gateway for Nijisanji as a whole, I believe. Oh, right the intellectual test with Hima...

Yeah, the blandest concept, but one of the most likable members in Nijisanji.

Dola - She’s a fire dragon. Act as an elder to the SEED group, kind of an admin at the minecraft server, so she’s treated like a god here. Good singer, great dancer.

She’s in a group with Yashiro, Hima, and Kuzuha, where the concept is that they are a family, with Dola and Yashiro being parents, and Hima and Kuzuha being their children, and they are one of the best groups to come out of Nijisanji. You can’t miss them.

Sister Claire - Usually does really short talk streams, which was reformatted to a radio format. One of the last seiso people, but strangely gets along with many of the members, mostly because she wants to be funny, and honestly... succeeds for me.

Also a great singer... who would have guessed? Sometimes treated as a cult leader.

Todoroki Kyoko - A 19 year old gyaru. Self proclaimed normie, but obviously not the case anymore. Great at drawing, but only in 2D. As with gyarus, really nice!

Suzuki Masaru - A chunni cross-dresser. Wants to be cool, but obviously cute. Actually doesn’t really like cross-dressing, but it does get the views. Honestly, he looks cool.

Uzuki Kou - A rich teenage boy, well liked by other people. Great singer but doesn’t show often... he does have a rap about hot pot ingredients that is well-covered by others. Friends with Ririmu, I believe. He’s a nice person to watch.

Azuchi Momo - A 14-year old illustrator who did her own design, and one of the most dangerous members of Nijisanji. Yep, known for her curses and drinking cocktails... and yes, she’s supposed to be 14. But even she recognizes that she’s an adult woman...

SEED 2nd Gen

Takamiya Rion - A student at a magic school. Supposed to be a lass, but in reality becomes like that sketch where two beautiful women are dubbed by kids? Yeah, she becomes like that. Just the least intelligent person... good for moron-sexuals, I guess.

Apparently this is more a debuff, as she can act smart and lady-like in late night streams. She was the one who hosted the imagination event. Also really likes SAO, and therefore fell into Genshin pretty hard last year, and who can blame her?

Asuka Hina - Is sometimes called a succubus, kind of works a producer and did a special producing session as a result. Can be calm and outgoing at once.

Maimoto Keisuke - Originally a farmer, but got tired of it. Does gaming and sport commentary, usually wrestling or baseball. Became someone who always gets tortured by his female peers... strange but not a bad character. Oh, this harassment leads to a lot of anger and there’s a tradition where they burn people virtually... and he always gets lumped in as a person to be burned. Friends with Subaru and Ui, and forms the Oozora family, believes to be a middle-aged man, but others don’t treat him like that.

Amemori Sayo - Typical high school student, but we’re sure she’s a ghost. Does a lot of special effects, leading to tech problems. Kind of a quiet speaker.

Kanda Shoichi - typical college student, has a buddy relationship with Gundou Mirei. Good at gaming, singing and hosting, which means he got his due even though it was a little late. Doesn’t really like Korea, though, which is a problem.

Rindou Mikoto - An oni queen, likes girls and booze. Can hold down a liquor, and hold down a girl... a quick learner in everything, therefore excellent at everything.

I knew her as Marine’s coach at Mario Kart... and now I know the reason.

Joe Rikiichi - He’s a joker, a real comedian. Good at improv. Pretty poor. Does late-night radio with Maimoto as well. He’s always a fun person to watch.

Debidebi Debiru - Demon koala who dabble in the occult. He’s the kid in the family, with all the stubbornness and gumption included. Likes to make nicknames, good in collabs. And as with kids, ultimately a good person at heart, which is why he does collabs.

Probably one of my favorites... I’m kind of miffed his section is so short, honestly.

Sakura Ritsuki - A fairy from another world. Basically only plays minecraft as the resident builder in the area. Got a new outfit, and suddenly got a ship going on with Kuzuha, which is good for her, I guess. Yeah, she does what she does.

Machita Chima - A great singer and bit of a psychopath. Went dark to study for exams, but soon returned to herself. Kind of a younger Suisei is what I’m getting at.

Belmond Banderas - The Corpse of Nijisanji. Low voice, and very kind to everyone. But he can be funny too. If he’s drunk, he’s just your average guy who agrees on everything. Also incredibly lucky, apparently, enough to make a religion with Lize as worshipper.

Yumeoi Kakeru - Singer-songwriter who got calling as a host. Really likes Ryushen to a psychopathic degree, but they are good friends as well. Seriously, he’s one of those well-adjusted psychopaths. Apparently he was a biochemist before singing. Sara calls him papa... which, okay, I guess. Did some shady stuff like catfishing in the past...

Overall, he’s that person who came from a rough background, and that means there’s some edges and some of his strength. Definitely an important asset.

Kuroi Shiba - She’s a four year old dog, but acts like an old lady and eventually earned the suffering characteristic and works at a shady company. But what’s the most fascinating thing is her deep lore. Seriously, it might be one of the most interesting lore before Haachama/Haato became a thing.

Yaguruma Rine - A eleven-year old girl who says the first thing on her mind. Also went dark during exam season, but returned after the summer exams. Practices English a bit during her streams, so there’s that going for her. Also her phone disappeared for a bit.

Harusaki Air - Air here meaning ‘spring’ in Greek. Kind of interpreted as a cleaner version of Toya. He’s a prince, so he’s usually busy... unlike a certain princess.

Naruse Naru - Remember has a different look! Although now he can switch it back and forth... apparently it was management issues? Whatever, won the current mario kart tournament (Mikoto was second) and that’s pretty much it, honestly.

PLEASE LOOK. SHE FUCKING SINGS.

[afraidofchange]

I just finished the 3rd race with Claire where she actually sits you down to talk and ahhhhhhhhhhhh....

So, she and Dean were married for 12 years. I had put her at about 36 years old, she they would’ve got married when she was 23 since he died in 2076.

Dean and Claire were friends long before her gender transition, so I’m imagining they knew each other as kids and into teenagers.

He came and brought her daffodils at the hospital, and had said “to new beginnings”

Dean used to joke that for their 15th anniversary, he could convince her to get her first cybernetic implant.

As it stands, Claire loves machines, but doesn’t want to become one. 

Dean would’ve been the only person who could’ve convinced her to get ‘chromed’ up.

Dean’s death in their race was premeditated murder - the man ahead of him would’ve won but instead, slammed the brakes, forcing Dean to do so too and they lose control. They’d had a long-standing rivalry that went beyond just competition. Something full of strife.

Claire feels that it won’t be made right unless she avenges her husband.  

Anyway, so with that info in mind, 

I believe Claire would’ve been either a late teenager or just a very young adult when she began transitioning. As the exchange seems to imply, she had some kind of gender reassignment surgery, but nothing is specified. Though it could be implied that by that point, with the actual themes of transhumanism as a point of human improvement via cybernetic implants in cyberpunk settings, that the gender transition process to attain and have surgery is likely a lot easier and more commonplace than doing so today.

I think perhaps her trans identity and the aforementioned surgical procedure(s) could be another reason why she’s reluctant to go for any ‘chrome’; she’s already changed her body to be what she wanted it to be, so why add more? (this on top of her not wanting to be a machine, of course). 

So, with Dean only dying a year ago, she still sees herself as a widow, and has grieved for this long to the point she lied to V to get them to help her get her vengeance. She’s doing okay for herself - you have to be, to survive Night City - but once she gets what she wants and can put it behind her, she may be willing to see someone, someday - if they’re understanding of her situation and her past.

She does still wear her wedding ring, by the way. 

Oh and also, I do play her as bi - openly so. She married relatively young, though, but she likes her men and women and non binary pals.
