  ("Devil-may-care Whisper" blares in the background)

• Affectionate Parody: Jaiden and Alpharad'southward SoulLink Nuzlocke names the rival character later Jan of "Pokémon Challenges", who had been making critiques of their Nuzlockes, with Jaiden making information technology clear that she had no intention of offending him with it.

If someone's sad or depressed, information technology'southward on them to correct this behavior. Also, define your boundaries, and don't let anyone make yous suspension them; if they do, they're causing emotional abuse, and they're not worth your time. Toxic people will often fish for compliments, resort to emotional abuse (gaslighting, guilt tripping, etc.), and threaten to hurt you or themselves to get what they want from yous instead of ever admit that how they act is incorrect.

• Animation Bump: A small one in her video "My Opinion on Airports", as information technology was given by a guest animator. When explaining that moving sidewalks would exist a skilful replacement for cars and roads, she says that you could just run to get to where yous want to go extra quick. This is shown with an over the top action shot of Jaiden bursting into a sprint. This follows into her other videos, where the blitheness can be much more fluid and expressive in some parts; the dance Ranger!Jaiden does to Team Dim Sun's boxing theme is a proficient example.
• Animesque: The scene in "The History of my Pilus" where Jaiden'south hairs blow abroad in the wind is a parody of an anime scene, with scarlet blossom petals floating in the air and Jaiden getting large anime eyes.
• Arch-Enemy: In her Fauna Crossing video, a snooty villager named Sue E. becomes Jaiden's nemesis due to her rudeness.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In the HeartGold/SoulSilver randomized SoulLink, Jacob has to face Lance'south Porygon-Z, Rampardos, Lickilicky, Zapdos... and Plusle.

• Berserk Push: Jaiden has some potent opinions on impersonators and people who utilize "KYS" equally an insult.

  Jaiden: Don't impersonate people.... Okay, I was going to end this video by saying "Don't impersonate people, and f*ck off" but I couldn't bring myself to do information technology.

• Animality Is Depraved: This exchange.

  Fan: Am I baka for having a crush on Ari? >.< Me no baka, chuu~!
  [crush]
  Jaiden: Yikes.

• Best Served Cold: During a horrendous grouping projection, the girls she was working with ended upwardly giving her a day to finish considering of their laziness, and to boot the audio went mode over the fourth dimension limit and perchance had to exist processed beyond abridging information technology, resulting in her spending eight hours working herself half to death. One of the girls checked on the video half an hour before it was due and gave an ungrateful reply when Jaiden confirmed information technology was finished, and Jaiden was too wearied for a "The Reason Y'all Suck" Speech communication, prompting her to create end credits for the video crediting herself for everything except the other girls' narration, apparently including "pain & suffering", every bit a form of passive-aggressive revenge.

• Birthday Episode: When it's Ari's altogether, she publishes videos celebrating this.
• Bittersweet Ending: Her Pokémon Platinum Nuzlocke video ends this manner. In-universe, Jaiden realizes she's in an alternate timeline created afterward Giratina dissever her in 2 in the Distortion World; in the original timeline, she wiped out confronting the Elite Four before she even fabricated it to Cynthia, with her entire team getting killed ^note In reality, Jaiden gave upwards later she lost half her team in the first two fights against Aaron and Bertha, since the remainder of her team was weak against Burn-types and didn't have a gamble against Burn specialist Flint. But she and her chat agreed that since it was a birthday stream, she should try over again. In this timeline, Jaiden wins and becomes the new Champion, but loses half her team to Cynthia's Garchomp in the process. And with the knowledge of both timelines and some other version of her losing then horribly, Jaiden is so overwhelmed with guilt that she finds the victory hollow and doesn't believe she deserves it.
• Born Lucky: Jaiden jokes nigh this of her SoulSilver Nuzlocke partner, Jacob Alpharad, a Running Gag conveying over from his own channel(south). She not simply starts the video highlighting his l/50 Pokémon Nuzlocke winning streak, just describes how he almost always gets favorable Pokémon encounters, souvenir Pokémon, and easy battles. Meanwhile, Jaiden tends to become lackluster Pokémon and VERY difficult battles.
• Brick Joke: At the kickoff of the SoulSilver Nuzlocke, Jaiden and Jacob keep running into Palkia, who Google says is vulnerable to Salamence. The ii proceed to, in her words, corking Palkia by repeatedly commenting that they wish they had a Salamence. Fastforward to the final battle, and Lance has a Palkia on his team for Jaiden. Cue Jaiden saying, "I could really use a Salamence right about now..."
• Censored for Comedy: She hardly ever swears. And if she does, it'll either be a Curse Cut Brusk or this. In "Things well-nigh Relationships I wish someone told me well-nigh," she says that one must occasionally look in the mirror and wonder "Am I being an asshole?" Non merely is the word censored every bit "a**hole" in the captions, merely the first office of the word is bleeped out past a loud bass tone, with an image of Ari covering the speaker's rima oris equally they say it.
• Character Development:
• Chekhov's Gun: When Jaiden starts grooming Zipzapzop in her Pokémon Reddish Nuzlocke video, she makes a huge rant virtually the sheer number of Marills she had to impale in lodge to go Zipzapzop up to par with the rest of the political party. While she doesn't explain this (and might not take even realized it at the fourth dimension), information technology was the HP EVs from those Marills that gave Zipzapzop enough HP to later just barely tank that quadruple-effective convulsion assault with simply ii HP to spare.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Jaiden had a Pirates of the Caribbean-obsessed Keet for a loftier school art instructor, who often blared random POTC soundtrack remixes to his students' chagrin, randomly challenged students to duels, and at one betoken, ran into the room dressed equally a pirate and ran effectually similar a lunatic, causing Jaiden to drop his form. He was too a tennis teacher, and 1 day inexplicably tried to bound over the net, causing him to faceplant when his foot was caught on the net and giving him two blackness eyes. If his ex-wife's reaction to this latter incident is whatever indication, he had injured himself prior to this.

Once they exercise the piece of work she's supposed to do, her reward for them is having Jaiden fight her Lugia and Deoxys, yet acting every bit absentmindedly cute as always, all while Jaiden is bashing her confront into a support beam in acrimony.
• Cut the Knot: In her showtime 2 Pokémon Nuzlocke videos, Jaiden encounters powerful Legendary Pokémon blocking her style. Since contesting them would likely result in her losing team members, she just uses the Master Ball on Groudon and Giratina to immediately grab them and carry on with the game.

  Jaiden: And then I went in there, walked up to Groudon... and Chief Balled him immediately. At that place's no way I'm gonna fight Groudon!

• Daddy Issues: Averted. In the early on days of her aqueduct, some very curious fans were wondering why Jaiden never brought up her father, assuming that something happened that fabricated Jaiden non include him (similar divorce or corruption).

• Darker and Edgier: Due to suffering from an extremely unfortunate defeat at the hands of the Aristocracy iv, her Pokémon Platinum Nuzlocke video was noticeably grimmer than her previous Cerise Nuzlocke video.

• Denser and Wackier: Not that she wasn't funny before, but a lot of her earlier videos were fairly straightforward storytime animations with near of the humor coming from "Not Making This Upward" Disclaimer every bit well equally Jaiden'south very endearing awkwardness.

• The Door Slams You lot: At 1 point in fourth grade, Jaiden was nearly whacked in the face past a bathroom stall door due to an incredibly stupid and inconsiderate girl deciding to kick the door open up. The merely reason Jaiden was only "nearly" hit in the face is because karate reflexes immune her to block the door with her arm. She notes that any other passerby probably wouldn't accept been able to protect herself.
• Dramatic Wind: In "The History of my Hair", strands of Jaiden'south hair fly away, "like burs in the wind," illustrated with pieces of Jaiden's hair dramatically flying away in a stream of flower petels and Jaiden, now with big anime optics, watching them float.
• The Dying Walk: When Tate'due south Solrock melts Zipzapzop with Fire Blast, Zipzapzop weakly floats over to Jaiden until collapsing, before Squidward the Tentacruel sprays him like a burn extinguisher.

• Exact Words: In "My Babyhood Obsession with Animals", Jaiden talks most the fourth dimension she badly wanted a mouse. She idea that she could force her parents to get her one by writing it on her Christmas wishlist. Her parents did get her a mouse... but it was a computer mouse.

  • When she and Alpharad release the Legendary Beasts in "I Attempted a Two Player Nuzlocke", Suicune is slumped over unconscious on Entei's dorsum instead of running like the other 2 as a nod to how Alpharad killed one by accident earlier in the video.
• Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: In her video almost toxic relationships, she states that toxic people fish for compliments rather than take responsibility for what went wrong in their life. Yous have no responsibleness for making them happy and you lot'll bulldoze yourself crazy justifying their deportment. If they can't employ those experiences constructively or move on from them, then exit.
• From Bad to Worse:
  • Jaiden gets an Uber commuter to pick her upwardly after her trip to Japan, but thanks to vague directions, he drops her off at the incorrect house. Jaiden pretends to go inside, hoping the owners don't run across her as she hides behind the house, waiting for the driver to go out. After he does, Jaiden crosses the street, tries to get inside her house... and the door is locked. Her roommate is gone, meaning Jaiden has to wait three hours for her to come home. Unwilling to slumber outside the house to pass the fourth dimension, she ends upwardly communicable another Uber to hang out with her roommate, but because she wasn't able to slumber on the aeroplane, she's too tired to even function, let alone savor the trip out.
  • During ane ski trip when she was 10, Jaiden'southward dad accidentally brings her and Jax upwardly a double blackness diamond trail (aptly described by Jaiden as "you will Dice if you continue here as a child"), and past the fourth dimension he realizes his mistake, it's too late. As he tries to think of what to exercise, gravity takes Jax and he speeds down the mountain. When he falls to break speed per their dad's pedagogy, he ends upward doing a screaming starfish ^note a crash where you cartwheel downwards a slope. As people become to help him after he finally manages to finish, Jaiden is freaking out; her merely style down is a slope she just watched her footling blood brother collapse down, and she doesn't know if he made it there even vaguely okayish. Luckily, a kind snowboarder helps her down, only that means a slow, terrifying trip sliding inch-past-inch on her butt down a slope she describes as "well-nigh vertical downwardly decease with a bunch of moguls". The poor daughter is traumatized and angry by the fourth dimension she gets down, and judging past her refusal to purchase a souvenir, the entire trip is ruined for her.
  • Her debilitating instance of hives one year when she visited her family for Christmas. Each flair-up was worse than the concluding, and just when she idea she'd experienced the worst, an even more intense case sucker-punched her. It got to the point that she was red and itchy and experiencing such intense pain/discomfort all over that she couldn't motion, as even the slightest brush to her pare sent shockwaves of hurting across her system. Thankfully, a doctor who was also a family friend managed to get her the right medication and diagnosis that kept information technology from coming dorsum.
  • This applied on ii carve up occasions in her SoulLink Randomized Nuzlocke. The first case was with Gym Leader Chuck, whose Kingdra proved to be more than than a friction match for her entire team disallowment Obamatar the Abomasnow. His second Pokemon was Froslass, whose Snow Cloak ability allowed her to constantly avoid attacks from Obamatar due to their ain Snow Alarm power setting upward the hail that activates it. On height of that, Froslass's Ominous Wind move boosted all of her stats two turns in a row (which is a 1% chance, by the way). The 2d instance was against Champion Lance, who had a Palkia, who Jaiden had no reply for whatsoever. And the one Pokemon she did have that stood whatsoever adventure at all, Mewtwo, was immediately killed by a critical hit. In both instances, Jaiden had to resort to stalling out her opponent to expiry with whatever Pokemon she had left until they finally went down... and in the latter case, reminded the audience that Lance still had three Pokemon left, and she had to stall for another x minutes on his terminal Pokemon, Azumarril.
• Gag Haircut: Jaiden discusses how important a expert haircut is in "The History of my Hair" because a bad haircut gives off a commencement impression that you make terrible decisions.

In the video, Jaiden cites life stories of how she came to realize that she never felt whatever sort of romantic or intimate attraction to people, only attempting to find a shell or go on a appointment because of the social stigma surrounding being in a relationship. Jaiden says that she felt like it was something she "had" to exercise, and describes her struggles with forcing herself to try and suit.

• Gonky Femme: Every bit a Machop/Machoke, Chad looks like a muscular man, merely is drawn with feminine mannerisms and accessories such as a bloom behind her ear or a mourning veil.
• Gosh Dang Information technology to Heck!: She hardly e'er swears. She's either used a different word, cut herself off before saying the whole word, or just flat-out censored information technology birthday. Though, in her video "Flirting & My Stories," she said the word "douchebag" uncensored. Some other time in "What my trip to Nihon was like" she says "bitch" uncensored twice, though she was referring to PewDiePie'due south "Bitch Lasagna" in both cases, so it wasn't really her sentiment.
• Chiliad Finale: Her SoulLink Randomized Nuzlocke with Alpharad is this to her Nuzlocke series, every bit revealed in the finish credits. Obviously, it's not this to her videos on the whole.
• Grievous Harm with a Body: Her Pokémon Nuzlockes humorously depict early battles equally picking upwardly her Pokémon and using them to bludgeon the opponent'south Pokémon.
• Guinness Episode: "I Attempted a Speedrun (and got a world tape)" is nigh her becoming the start person in the world to speedrun Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends, and therefore belongings the earth tape at the time.
• Hard Truth Aesop: In the video nearly toxic relationships, Jaiden explains that you lot shouldn't stay with someone who chooses to wallow in self-pity and grief instead of take responsibleness for their ain lives. If someone chooses to make you responsible for making them happy, you should leave considering you lot may not have the appropriate skills and qualifications to set them and you tin't ignore your own problems for their sake.
• Hate at First Sight: Jaiden jokes about this in her "I Attempted a Two Player Nuzlocke" video, as many Trainer, Gym Leader, and Aristocracy Four battles involve her having to fight Legendaries, while her buddy Jacob gets much easier opponents. Jacob also gets three fully-evolved Pokemon equally starter choices from Professor Elm; Jaiden gets the useless Wynaut, the Com Mon Ariados, and the Fragile Speedster Mankey.
• Hates Being Touched: Inverted. She's less afraid of beingness touched and more afraid of her touching someone and freaking them out with how cold her hand naturally is.
• Hell Is That Racket: Considers loud toilet flushing noises to be this.

She describes information technology as the worst thing that'south ever happened to her.
• Heroic Sacrifice:
  • In her Ruby Nuzlocke video, she frames Zipzapzop the Magneton's death as this, pushing Sin the Duskull out of the manner of a Solrock's Flamethrower.

• Inherently Funny Words:
  • Jaiden's Nuzlocke videos explicate the nicknaming requirement of the challenge by using Pokemon with goofy names equally examples. The first video has the relatively tame Mayo the Jigglypuff, but the latter 2 have Fubby Juice the Pikachu and Spagooblio the Furret.
  • In her randomized SoulLink Nuzlocke, Jaiden and Jacob decide to make naming their new double Pokémon acquisitions easier on themselves (since they have to give both Pokémon the same nickname) by combining the Pokémon's names. Jaiden takes total comedic advantage of this by giving them dizzy names like "Plapp" for Piplup and Flaaffy, "Dillydoo" for Cradily and Silcoon, and "Dodei" for Entei and Doduo.
• Inside Joke: When she was younger, Jaiden spoke with a noticeable lisp and would request her Trademark Favorite Food at the time equally "Pathta with No Thauthe". As a result all the way into her adult life, her family would occasionally tease her by reminding her of this Exact Tic.
• Instant Adept: She'southward very practiced at playing musical instruments. She played the flute for a while because, despite being told that it was difficult to play the flute, Jaiden got a note out of the flute on her commencement try.
• Irony: In a two-fold case in her SoulLink Randomized Nuzlocke, Alpharad caught a whopping four Legendary Pokemon. Simply when it came time to construct teams to bring to the Elite four, Jaiden got to bring 2 Legendary Pokemon while Alpharad non but didn't have a single one, but was also forced to use a team consisting of almost entirely Com Mons, incuding a Beautifly... and yet, Alpharad still had a much easier time with the Elite 4 and Champion compared to Jaiden, with the kickoff two deaths between the two costing her the two Legendaries in question.
• Information technology Seemed Like a Good Thought at the Time: When Jaiden was in fourth course, another girl at her school inexplicably decided to kicking a bathroom stall door open with no regard for passersby... while Jaiden was walking past. Luckily, Jaiden was able to shield herself because she had fast reflexes from karate lessons and the idiot loudly announced "I'grand gonna boot the door open!", alerting her to what was about to happen. However, Jaiden got a nasty bruise on her arm, and she notes that had it been anyone else passing past, the poor daughter would have taken the full brunt of the door and probably been seriously injured.
• Jerkass: When recounting run-ins with impersonators, she encountered one particular ane on Twitter with a Hair-Trigger Atmosphere and tried pulling a Wounded Gazelle Gambit on her and James (admitting i that exaggerated the harassment Jaiden was trying to apologize over). They even went equally far every bit calling their police due to what is implied to be serious harassment. Albeit Jaiden thought her fanbase telling them to kill themselves every bit their Cyberspace Counter Attack was going way too far.
• Child-anova: In "Childhood Stories", Jaiden mentions having a run in with a kid who seemed to be 13 when she was around sixteen. She was quite impressed with his pickup line.

  Kid: Will you hold something for me?
  Jaiden: O-Okay? What is information technology?
  Kid: My hand.

• Knows a Guy Who Knows a Guy: Jaiden's mom has a network of friends in a variety of occupations. Luckily, i such friend was an accountant who helped Jaiden and her family go the certification they needed to fly out of Minneapolis to Canada afterwards their passports had expired.
  • This trope comes to her rescue again when she visits her family for Christmas, and is beset with a debilitating case of hives. After several doctors can't effigy out how to keep them at bay for more than a few hours, a family friend who'southward a dr. not only gives her the right medication to go along them gone for proficient, just seems to correctly diagnose the crusade (stress coupled with a glitch in the immune arrangement) and Jaiden has remained hives-costless always since.
• Love to Detest: In-Universe, Jaiden loves that Fauna Crossing NPCs had a lot of snarky jerks that were merely fun to hate, particularly Sue Eastward..
• Malicious Compliance: In "Animal Crossing used to be so much darker...", Sue E. commanded Jaiden to change the boondocks melody. Despite not normally beingness a "big town tune-changer", she gain to exercise so, changing information technology to the highest-pitched note possible being played fifteen times, followed by the "?" note that comes after that.

  Jaiden: Is that meliorate, Sue E.? You like that?

• "Not Making This Upwards" Disclaimer: "My Experience with Sports" includes home video and photos of her participating in described sports, including 1 where Jaiden kept pushing a stage fright-ridden daughter to the side during a dance recital.
• Out-of-Genre Experience: "Empty", a full-diddled Music Video with Boyinaband about their struggles with eating disorders.
• Out of Focus: Likely due to the pandemic caused by the Coronavirus, Jaiden starting from mid 2020, has shifted to almost exclusively gaming-related animations and collabs with other Youtubers. As a outcome, almost of the events that defined her reputation every bit one of the most well known storytime animators too as staples such as Ari and her family unit accept been put aside in terms of screentime.
• Overly Long Gag: In the "Samurai Buyer" video, with each electronic mail to Misaki, she adds additional redundant signatures—starting with only "Jaiden, JaidenAnimations" and somewhen extending to "Jaiden, JaidenAnimation, JaidenAnimations, Maiden Animations, Jaiden Animation, Jaiden Animates, Jaiden Draws."
• Overly Narrow Superlative: Jaiden once held the World Record for an all Gold Medals Speedrun of Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends...namely cause, she was also the merely person to actually practice an all Gold Medals Speed Run of the Game, at the time!
• Pants-Gratuitous: Dissimilar her May cosplay in her Pokémon Cherry Nuzlocke and her Ethan cosplay in her Pokémon SoulSilver Nuzlocke, Jaiden's cosplay of Dawn in her Pokémon Platinum Nuzlocke has a visible lack of pants or underwear.

• Pinkish Is Erotic: In "Being Not Straight", Jaiden uses the color pink to correspond feelings of romance and sexual attraction (chosen intimacy in the video) while explicate how she never felt either of those things due to existence aromantic and asexual.

• Precision F-Strike: Subverted. In the end of her video on impersonation, she mentions that she wanted to say "don't impersonate people and f*ck off" as an ironic twist, but couldn't bring herself to swear uncensored.
  • In "Living With Ari", she plays the first line of iDubbbzTV's RiceGum disstrack, which contains the word "fucked", completely uncensored. This was either done because she figured that since the vocal wasn't her content, censoring information technology would seem inappropriate or she forgot to censor it while editing.
  • Played direct, but not in one of her ain videos. In the Behind the Scenes video of her music video for Empty, she curses, completely uncensored, when messing up a line.

  • Jaiden calls her two project partners "twats" in My Horrible Nightmare Group Project due to them being The Load during said project. She later elaborates on this in another video when proverb she doesn't swear, stating that the word was never considered a swear in her household and so she simply considers information technology a normal discussion.
• Queer Colors: Jaiden uses these in "Existence Not Straight". The thumbnail is Jaiden standing in front end of a rainbow flag, meant to represent LGBT people every bit a whole. Throughout the video, she uses the colors from the asexual flag (black, grayness, white, regal) and aromantic flag (dark light-green, greenish, white, gray, black) to represent herself, as well equally a combination of the ii on a T-shirt. Interestingly, there is another flag for aroace people — orangish, yellow, white, light blue, dark blue — only those colors never come in the video.
• Race Confronting the Clock:
  • Ane of Jaiden's fears is that she can't stand time limits in video games, going as far that she could not get past level two of a SpongeBob game she owned equally a kid because of a section of the game where she had just 20 seconds to get to each checkpoint.

    "Our lives are a fourth dimension limit if you think nearly information technology..."

  • "I tried to go to Canada simply got stuck in Minneapolis" has this as Jaiden, her mom, and her brother have an always expanding list of things they need to achieve in gild to renew the kids' passports and go to the airport in fourth dimension to catch their flying to Canada. Hilarity Ensues as things keep happening to make things more than and more complicated, though the end of the video shows Jaiden and her family managed to just barely make it on their flying in fourth dimension.
  • In higher, she had a project due at 6pm and the instructor strictly only allowed them to be 10 minutes late at most. She gets done early on and lets a friend infringe her laptop to go her own project done. Due to them not paying attention to the time, they suddenly realize information technology's v:45 and they take to become to the school computer lab, print off their assignments, and paw them in. And Jaiden's friend wasn't done her project yet. Cue them both freaking out, her friend being forced to cut corners, Jaiden having to scour her room for a title page to be stapled to the front, and them booking it to the lab (and for added stress, Jaiden's friend was having computer trouble when Jaiden herself got there). They get their projects handed in literally at the cablegram, to the bespeak where the professor, upon seeing Jaiden enter the room to hand her assignment in, simply said "Run."
  • Somewhat played with in "I Attempted a Speedrun (and got a world record)". While Jaiden is trying to get the fastest time she can, because that in that location is no precedent for a speedrun time, she was able to be more relaxed with her run.
  • In "I Don't Like the Dentist", Jaiden name drops this trope when describing that she simply had a few weeks to pull out her final five baby teeth before an extraction date needed to be scheduled.
• Random Events Plot: The whole nature of her "Random Thoughts" videos is to make video on a slew of completely unrelated and fifty-fifty bizarre contemplations she had one twenty-four hour period.
• Existent Dreams are Weirder: Jaiden's scariest nightmare is this. She was backed up in the corner of a pitch blackness room, equally Dash from The Incredibles, and a shark would periodically try to bite her.

  Jaiden: Information technology sounds so dumb when I say information technology out loud.

• Refuge in Audacity: Jaiden managed to sneak a reference to Pewdiepie in one of the animations she made for Youtube Rewind 2018. This is noteworthy given that YouTube seems to be trying to distance themselves from him in spite of his popularity following several nasty PR incidents of his, and the short segment would probably not have made the cut had information technology been any more obvious. Nevertheless, Jaiden has received praise, with some comments going every bit far as to say it'due south one of the few redeeming moments of the whole Rewind.
• Ridiculously Cute Critter: Ari, Jaiden'south adorable green-cheeked conure.
• Running Gag:

• Shamu Fu: At one point in her video about Fossil Fighters, Jaiden fights a group of enemies by hitting them with a pliosaur.
• Shout-Out:
  • When recounting a childhood story nigh a crazy lady calling her Mabel, presumably confusing her with her ain girl, Jaiden speculates what might've happened to the real Mabel because how the lady believed she was traveling with a stranger (really Jaiden'south dad).

  • In the at present-removed "I tried to beat out Minecraft with CallMeCarson", she mentions the moment she learned that YouTube was more than just silly clips to share with your friends to make them laugh, and how the site has "channels, and subscriptions, and most importantly people played Minecraft on it."

    Jaiden: [dubbing over] Stealing all your hard piece of work, ya bimbo!

  • "My Nightmare Group Projection" is a big one towards two unhelpful classmates she had to bargain with. Though Jaiden did all of the work, her grouping totally didn't appreciate it, and Jaiden was too wearied to phone call them out on it at the time.
  • In "Crazy Substitute Teachers", she remarks that a substitute instructor who failed to react to a daughter choking on a carrot should start a reaction channel since he'd fit right in.

    Jaiden: Jirachi, you're mine, bitch!

• Tempting Fate: Her parents warned her to necktie her shoelaces so they didn't become defenseless in her bike'southward wheels and make her fall over. Young!Jaiden scoffed at the notion...then got her shoelaces caught in her bike's wheels and she fell over.

  • "I Attempted a Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke" is besides much less cheerful than her showtime Pokémon Cerise Nuzlocke. Part of this is due to the game having a much darker tone, part of information technology is because in Existent Life, she lost her offset run against the Elite 4, yet felt so guilty about trying again that she wove information technology into the story.

• Workaholic: By Jaiden'south ain admission, she works way besides much. Brought to a Deconstruction in "Exhaustion & Overworking."
