Hallo

(Also....listen... I'm going to be as accurate to the timeline as possible with the material that is out ATM. I am not putting any weird future happenings in bc 1. We don't need more Naruto spin offs as bad as Boruto IMHO and 2....

Nah that's it)

Lark/Sparrow : did not see it in their formative years but had heard all about it in school. Boruto was coming out around the time they joined soccer, and they tried to get in on the conversation. They told Henry they wanted to watch it and he seemed interested but stood firm with Mercedes, especially when they tried to watch the Japanese uncut with blood and uncensored kunai together ( looking at ep 5/6 ) . Henry did like episode 3 when Naruto and Sasuke accidentally kissed, and he says, "Good for them!" since he was only half paying attention.

As adults, Lark read it immediately when he remembered it again and tried to get Sparrow into it, but Sparrow declined. Lark has seen every ep at least 5 times, every movie at least 3, and has watched Boruto through once thanks to Hero when she was little. He is not a fan of Boruto but won't smack talk it in case Hero gets discouraged (but when he talks to Nick, OH watch out. They go on for hours). Lark is very partial to Itachi, Kakashi, and Zabuza because they are all so cool. Has a soft spot for Sasuke, but everyone knows why. Sparrow likes Ino Yamanaka from what he knows of Naruto from the first few eps and has a Shippuden Keychain of her that he got for Father's Day one year from Hero.

Grant : never really one for anime right away. He was always more of an American Anime lover, but then Nick made him sit down and watch it. Marco had read Naruto and loved it but never got into the anime much. States he likes the manga better, and Grant takes his word for it. He does eventually read it, but only when Linc comes around to see if it is something Linc could read. Child assassins? Um... big HARD pass...

Nick : are you kidding?? I mentioned Glenn and Morgan ! One of Nick's first Halloween costumes was a toddler Naruto outfit ! He loves Itachi most, and you can see him in akatsuki pajama pants. He loves the OG anime, including the filler and movies, but does not give Boruto the time of day if only because he thinks Morgan would have hated it. (And he's wrong. I think Morgan would have had fun with it, even with valid criticisms). Definitely loves all the characters. He does have a hard time watching when Jiraiya dies, and when Minato and Kushina come and talk to Naruto after so long.

Narcolas : does not like (But yes he does. He reads the manga and novels in the library but doesn't check them out. It's like a guilty pleasure. Nick's love of Naruto wins out when he turns demon)

Terry Jr : his secret love is Samantha's old Shoujo Beat issues, and when he found Vampire Knight, he was hooked. He loves a lot of the late 2000s shoujo manga. He likes Naruto a bit, enough to watch it. Definitely went to a convention with Nick once and dressed up as Neji. He likes the Asuma and Kurenai plot line but refuses more when Asuma dies. Thinks Boruto is horrible because of how they made Naruto an absent dad. Loves the Linkin Park AMVs from the Sasuke Retrieval Arc and has art of Itachi as a vampire somewhere in a notebook.

Hero : obviously loves it. Boruto is her favorite of the 3 series. Even though they keep it from her, she knows Lark and Nick hate it. She does enjoy the OG stuff. Will never forgive Gaara. Does not like Sasuke and thinks the whole retrieval arc is a waste of time, especially with the destruction caused. She does, however, love Bonds and does start to see the appeal of Sasuke when he stands under that waterfall. Becomes a secret half shipper of SasuNaru but doesn't like the shipping Fandom. Is more of a SasuIno shipper, but she loves Sai/Ino. Definitely has one figure of Tsunade, and that is enough for her. She likes much better anime

Normal : never got the chance to bond with Lark over it. He really only takes an interest when he learns that Taylor has an appreciation and tries to get into it. There is a lot of material, and he goes through Boruto almost too fast to absorb it. Ehen he finds out Boruto isnt the beginning, and he has 700 chapters to read before Boruto makes sense, it unfortunately is more of a waste of time to start again. He can comb back through it to decipher what he did like, so he lives with his half knowledge. He loves Sakura, Hinata, and Naruto most, though, and ships Naruto and Hinata. He had a crush on Hinata growing up and liked what type of mom she was.

Taylor : he liked it as a kid, but now? There are better anime. He unfortunately also likes Boruto a lot but not enough of the franchise as a whole to really go out of his way. Does he know everything about it? Obviously. But he has other things to watch and keep up with for his blog. How else will he remain cool if he isn't constantly keeping up with the times? (Definitely has a well loved pakkun plushie in his secret stuffie stash)

Scary : has definitely read a bit of Naruto but engages more with the AMVs and fanfic, gaining only a few tiny nuggets of knowledge here and there from the fics. she is surprised at what she finds out is either true/not true. Definitely wrote a fic for Hero for her birthday. She is very much interested in TJ's Shoujo Beat hand me downs but mostly looks at the art style and 2000's adds for lolita/Harajuku fashion. She likes Ino, she guesses, and Shikamaru. Aesthetically, she adores Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro

Linc : believes it is going to be too much for him because of what Grant has drilled in. He does give it a try later on and enjoys the original series. He stops after Sai is introduced, even though he doesn't like Sasuke, and even when Taylor promises it is still good, he doesn't care. He likes Rock Lee obviously and promises to cosplay Rock Lee when they have the chance.

Hermie : obviously he has read it. Obviously he has opinions. Obviously, the stage play is the best adaptation of any stageplay for an anime of that time. No, he has no favorite character (yes he does - Sasuke for the revenge and angst) and no, he does not care about any other Naruto thing. Will you catch him dressing up with Taylor? Gladly. But he won't talk about the series past what he is interested in, and it isn't much.

Luci was definitely introduced to the game by Charlie and it's surprisingly helped him improve his mood/mental wellbeing

On the other hand, Al likely started playing to ragebait Luci in some way but ended up developing a unexpected fondness after a while

Lucifer and Alastor visit each other to trade stuff or shop for items they want on their island

Luci would definitely spend a large portion of his time decorating his island, he'll probably make it whimsical so maybe fairycore/heavencore?? if that even exists... + maybe grind a little on the DLC too | Alastor doesn't really care a lot about decorating but definitely has a rustic forest-aesthetic for his island

When Luci plays alone, he makes voices for the villagers & npcs and talks for them while having his own outloud commentary

Alastor has an insane amount of good luck with breeding hybrid flowers and getting highly sought after furniture every day

When Alastor was speedrunning the game in the beginning, he definitely placed a bunch of random furniture around in a messy fashion

Alastor doesn't like interacting with Tom Nook (he complains to Luci about how manipulative he is for giving him mountains of debt to pay off)

Not long after their routine multiplayer sessions, Lucifer would on occasion dedicate space on his island to make 'mini-games' for him and Alastor to play in when Al visits.

Lucifer's favourite npc is Harvey, Blathers, Jingle and K.K Slider | Alastor's favourite npc is Kicks, Brewster, Wisp and Daisy Mae

Bam was one of Luci's starter villagers

Alastor thought the animalese was annoying at first but got used to it

Based off another post i saw but-- A big part of why Alastor continues to play is because of the letters he receives, specifically the mom letters, those tug at Al's heartstrings in a big way

Unrelated to Al or Lu but I like the idea of just them collecting villagers who remind them of their loved ones hehe
