a collection of Arlo sketches from the past month
Rant about the "unOrdinary is too long and dragged out" argument
shut up shut up hut up
"unOrdinary is too long!! hurry up!!" NO IT'S NOT???
IF ANYTHING TOWER OF GOD, HOMESTUCK, AND THE GOD OF HIGH SCHOOL IS TOO LONG
I hate these people so much like jegus christ man, they would not SURVIVE those comics if unordinary is "too long and dragged out"
like seriously unOrdinary has been going on since 2016 while TOG has been going on since 2014, wanna know how long Homestuck was going on for? 2009-2016, what about the god of high school!??? 2014-2022
like seriously!! this shit annoys the hell out of me idk abt you guys
it's like no one knows how to do math anymore unOrdinary is only going to update 365 times a year because it's weekly which is WHY it's long, same thing with Tower Of God and THAT webtoon is dragged to hell and back -> and it's STILL going on and HAS an anime in the works
and just to get this out there before you go "okay but those are webcomics!! they should be faster!!"
why don't I introduce you to One Piece, it is too long, dragged out, has a LOT of filler, and was released in 1997!!!(the manga release date) DO I NEED TO SAY MORE??
disagree with me all you want, I'm so tired of the "unOrdinary is too long and dragged out" arguement, it's getting on nerves whenever someone brings it up.
What about you take a chill pill Jesus fuckig christ
BEHOLD. DRAWINGS.
ITS ARLO DAY
ARLO BEST BOY
LOVE U
Heads up there’s a TW: Sexual Assault for newest Unordinary Fastpass (Episode 268) and there’s no warning for it.
it does not show anything (rather the aftermath) but still could be potentially triggering to readers be careful. DM for specifics.
the very most siblings I think
don’t tag as ship.
YESS THAT ISEN DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEWEST CHAPTER. Love to see it.
isen and arlo for the character bingo
Hello~ sorry for the late reply!
I really like Isen but I feel like so far his role in the story has been nothing but support for Blyke or Remi. I hope we get a few episodes focused on him and his development - especially if they address his self-esteem issues and cowardice. I also think that unlike with characters like Seraphina, Blyke or Remi and even Arlo, his character development seems unsatisfactory and rushed - as if everyone was changing their opinion on the hierarchy and because of that, he had to tag along too, not because he actually put any thought and reflected on how awfully the lower-tiers are treated by the system but because his friends were doing it so he had to join them.
I feel like he doesn’t get enough screen time and hope he becomes more of a central character soon, at least for a few episodes.
Arlo is my favourite, no surprise here lmfao. Not much to say here as I’m planning to make an entire separate post regarding his character but I hope we see more of him & his reaction of his world view crumbling around him, aha.
Thank you for the ask!
wait where is unOrdinary supposed to be set?
According to Uru, the country is based on the USA but it’s not the USA.
Send me a character and I’ll give you some of my thoughts on them!
I’m bored, ask away~
Gavin x Evie! (*prepares to be fucking murdered*)
While my main ship is Revie, I got too attached to this bc of their potential dynamic and none of the canon ships get me— I know they never interacted and Gavin is supposed to be a one off villain but this is purely just my imagination bc I would love to see the contrast and explore a sorta mid tier redemption arc. I call them Gavie or Glowstone and I have a bunch of headcanons for them.
Gavin initially joined the Safe House just to cover his ass from John
People understandably hated him and Remi keeps him under high surveillance as she shoukd
Evie was the first one to welcome him in the Safe House and strike up a conversation with him
Gavin genuinely apologizing over time, making up for his mistakes and separating himself from Illena's group after realizing their harrassment towards the low tiers
Gavin standing up to Zeke after getting attached to the Safe House 🥺 (still getting kicked the shit out of tho)
Evie never had her ears pierced so Gavin attempted to pierce them for her.
Evie got Gavin to count to ten before he could loose his shit and fight anyone
Gavin once found a large knife in Evie's bag and she had to explain that she lives in a bad neighborhood and has to commute to and from school
He walks her to her house now bc of this
Gavin nicknames her ”Runt”
Seraphina and John are always giving him a murder look every time he’s with Evie in case he tries some shit—
Evie never ”fixes” him but it’s their friend group and sense of support and protection from the Safe House that drove him to be a better person
Could also work platonically 👀👀👀👀
oooh I love this
REMI IS BEST GIRL! (BUT TECHNICALLY NOT REALLY TBH AND HERE’S WHY)
Let me be clear, Remi is my number one favorite character in unO. Almost leaning to a comfort character. However, I do have some thoughts on her writing that I want to lay out. PLEASE take this as more of a ramble from an emotionally driven brain than a critique tho. I’m not shaming Uru for her writing, just vomiting my thoughts. I may get some stuff in canon wrong so I deeply apologize for it in advance!
As far as we are concerned, her and Blyke are the most morally good out of the characters in this webtoon. However, she’s not perfect. In fact, she makes a lot of mistakes in unO. I hate how fans only brush her aside as the “nice but naive one” or the “stock badass cute female charcter” when there are so much more potential to her. But sadly, there are times where I believe the webtoon itself thinks the same way as them. Remi is not as well-written as characters like Arlo and even *gags* John. She does seem like that at first but there are cracks in her that make her feel… kinda off.
(sorry btw to the unOblr discord members. I know I’ve been annoying with these takes but i want to compile them in a post DX)
I do agree that she hasn’t been compelling since the Volcan arc. While she has her moments like her putting up the Safe House, it’s already predictable since she has been constantly shoved into the box of the “nice girl on the sidelines”, especially in the Rowden arc. I understand the need for spotlight to the other characters but it kind of hurts because I love Remi’s flawed side. My favorite scenes with her is when we see her vulnerable and reckless. When she prioritized her revenge over Volcan when Alana died over the danger of getting harmed herself or when she lost her cool and burst into tears over the idea of Arlo getting hurt like Rei. I love seeing this side of her because as much as she tries to be the active hero, she’s just a teenager with a hero complex who tries to do everything for everyone but ends up hurting the same people in the process.
With what we have in canon, I don’t buy that Remi “easily forgives” her friends, no matter how attached to them she is. Yes, she can be in denial for a while but I don’t think she would let them off completely. Arlo’s been trying to undo Rei’s hard work on the hierarchy for two years. Considering Remi’s persistent and active attitude and the influence Rei and her family has on her, I hardly believe she would tolerate what he did, let alone still be friends with him. It annoys me how every time he does her dirty or admits to doing something wrong, she just reacts with “>:( hmph, fine!”. And that extends too for Isen but it’s worse bc we don’t even see her get pissed at Isen. I like Remi and Arlo’s friendship in canon but since they are such good foils, it would be interesting to see them clash at first (not as intensely as John and Arlo tho) before having these small moments of friendship to have more of an impact.
I am okay with Remi being ignorant. I’m fine with seeing her on the wrong side. I just think it was handled poorly. I can see Remi being naive but not to the point of complete inactivity. The only pre-Safe House Arc onscreen moments where I can see her fit into this “naive royal who does nothing and is ignorant of her actions” is when she does not apologize to John for Blyke shooting a beam at him (probably because jOHN SLAPPED HER AND CALLED HER A BITCH) or that funny haha scene in the webtoon’s first chapter where she playfights with Arlo for cake without the thought of accidentally harming others in the crossfire.
Even though there’s not that much screentime of her being inactive, the same could be said for her work as Queen. Where was she for the past two years? Why was she so passive? She mentioned that she “tried to help others” during that time but that’s all we hear from her. We don’t see what she does or if she really does help low tiers before the Safe House arc. To me, it seems less that she’s naive and more that her existence was completely retconned for certain chapters just so John could have an excuse to absolutely roast her in that one episode (haha get rekt dumb bitch!1!1!1!1).
Remi is constantly overshadowed by other characters and honestly, I think it needs to be addressed. Yes, she has her own agenda but nowadays, it’s mostly swept away for Blyke or Arlo’s development or given a couple of moments to grow (X-Rei arc) only to suddenly be cut off so she could get beaten up by John.
On a related note, her giving up being X-Rei after a couple of scoldings by her friends just sounds so OOC, especially since most of her scenes are dedicated to the weight of Rei’s death in her and how far she went in order to. Thanks, I hate it.
So that’s all of my concerns at the moment so here are the things I would love to see more from her:
Why was she a mostly absent Queen before Rei’s death? What happened to her in the past two years? Did she really do her part but Arlo’s efforts to dismantle Rei’s hierarchy were too much for her?
More platonic moments with her and Isen! I understand that she and Blyke are more close to each other because they are canon love interests but I would love to see more of her friendship with Isen with genuine concerned or tender moments since most of their interactions are just haha funny moments and scolding Isen for being a dum dum. I love the scenes where Isen puts himself out of the line to save Remi when she was fighting Volcan as well as Isen getting beat up driving Remi to confront John. I know that this is a Remi post but Isen feels like a third wheel comic relief most of the time and he deserves better—
Her thoughts on being coddled by Arlo and Blyke. I noticed they baby her a lot and while they have good intentions, it does come off as condescending at times.
Remi being a workaholic. I explained this in a post before but I really feel like this is a good main flaw for her. It also makes her a foil to Seraphina where even with Remi’s selfless intentions, she makes mistakes and it still drains her like how Sera was when she’s Queen. I’d love her to contemplate how she’s not good enough for anyone or always end up making things worse with her help or smth like that.
For a time before Sera’s Spectre arc, she was the only character who was literally breaking her back to uncover the Authorities and the one responsible for most of the improvement on Wellston since the Safe House. I want to see her tired and stressed out of her mind!
The first thing that caught my attention from her is how different she sees the hierarchy. Despite coming from an implied high tier family, it’s fascinating how we see her and Rei being raised with a more community-based mindset from their parents. I really like that and I love to see more of how it influenced her.
The influence Rei had on her besides his death. We get the idea that she had inherited a lot of values for him but I would love to see how much Remi tries to be him as a Royal and probably lead to an identity crisis on how much is the real her or her brother’s legacy—
Bring the X-Rei arc back. Please.
Just her going apeshit in general. Make her scrunkly. Embrace her flaws. She deserves better.
I understand that we can’t explore this currently because of all the current events and having all the screentime be on the actual main characters. I don’t want a Remi-centered unO or anything but I still wish we had room for at least a few of these to explore.
To address the title though, I would consider Arlo best girl okay bye—
another day, another uno comment.
this was ep. 237 btw. approx 200 episodes since arlo provoked john, 200 episodes for characters to develop.
also! this scene had nothing to do with arlo provoking john back then, so this person has no idea what they’re going on abt, just a jimp who wants to baby john no matter what.
the lack of comprehension from some ppl is absurd.
maybe spell things correctly and u may see some logic, commenter!
lmao i bet some ppl will STILL be nitpicking over the former mistakes by the characters a couple hundred episodes later when the webtoon is fucking finished fucking jimps begone
How dare Arlo breathe as if he didn’t provoke John (checks notes) 400 episodes ago. Smh.
It’s very funny how much hate Evie gets often from the same people (usually Jimps) who screech that Dylan is an uwu must protecc cinnamon roll - when they are literally the exact same character. Uru has the tendecy to reuse personalities for her insignificant or minor characters (literally all mid-tiers we’ve seen so far share the same basic characteristics) and we observe the same with Evie and Dylan too - they are literally the same - they share the same personality, are both sweet, hold no grudge against their oppressors (🙄) and have those “adorkable” moments, even their role in the story is the same. And yet Evie gets so much hate for being “annoying” whereas Dylan is praised and dubbed as “best boi”. Hm.
Anyways i wholeheartedly believe that unordinarys gonna finish and then uru chans just gonna say in a q & a or something ‘oh yeah in season 1 Arlo and Holden were dating, Holden stopped being around cuz they had a bad breakup’ and never elaborate
No because that’s literally the energy radiating off her answer that one time when she said “yeah there are lgbt+ characters in the story but their status is not relevant” 💀
Only person in UnO who knows how to dress is Arlo. I’ve seen some ppl try to argue that Seraphina has style as well but don’t you start that w me, she dresses like 2016 tumblr.
LMFAOOO i mean even with arlo its kind of,,,,
as much as i like his style, he dresses like a 2015 pinterest boy LMAO. do you remember the episode where hes wearing the dogtag necklace istg i almost cried
i like the outfits uruchan has sera wear but like you said, theyre soo 2016 Tumblr
smh they need to get better clothes. im going to redesign them just watch me
To be fair I think at the time those episodes were getting released it was actually 2016-2017 soo.
Also are dogtag necklaces not hip anymore?? It’s so difficult to keep up with you youngsters.
don't you think arlo looks like big bird
