EyeColorChange | |
| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_11077b27 | comment |
Eye Color Change: According to Arlo, his eyes used to be blue before turning red after he finished his work on the first Shadow Pokemon. It's backed up by a picture from before he joined Team GO Rocket, but it's unclear if his eyes turned red due to corrupted XM exposure or if he's wearing colored contacts. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: It's still the fundamentally idealistic world of Pokémon GO and most of the edgy content is lampshaded and Played for Laughs, but multiple characters gain Emo tendencies, the fic doesn't shy away from sexual innuendo, death threats, and pointing out that Pokemon are capable of killing humans, and everyone is more inclined to snark at their coworkers and enemies alike than in canon. | |

Evil Sounds Deep | |
| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_16364a29 | comment |
Evil Sounds Deep: Invoked by Arlo. The voice distortion on his glasses gives his voice more depth and reverb when he takes over Pokestops. He also uses it with pitch alone when he's off the clock for gender affirmation purposes. | |

Sorry, I'm Gay | |
| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_16b28263 | comment |
Sorry, I'm Gay: Arlo attempts to get on Blanche's nerves by claiming that Candela and Blanche didn't need to disguise their intentions when they drag him to the mobile lab to interrogate him about his relationship with Spark. If they wanted a threesome, he'd totally oblige. Blanche quickly shuts him down by stating that they aren't oriented in his direction and already have an emo love interest in their life. | |

Men Can't Keep House | |
| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_171b1206 | comment |
Men Can't Keep House: Arlo's room is an absolute mess. The floor is covered in laundry and stolen Pokeballs, he's implied to not wash his sheets regularly, and the area around his computer is the only part he cleans. He also needs to be reminded to take his leftovers out of the communal fridge before they develop their own ecosystems. | |

Romantic Fake–Real Turn: Arlo initially claims that he's only going on the date with Spark to get back at Candela and fulfill Sierra's assignment. That quickly evaporates after their first date and a revealing video chat. | |

Playing with Fire: Arlo's Charizard gets ready to power up a Blast Burn when he turns to attack the Shaymin for nearly getting him killed by knocking over the Abandoned Playground and getting Spark injured saving him. The Charizard is also shown to boost his powers by dropping wood shavings from the playground into the flame on his tail. | |

| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_1ee9819e | comment |
Scary Shiny Glasses: Arlo's glasses can do this, and he activates it whenever he wants to look especially evil. Seeing as his glasses have a number of bizarre capabilities, it seems likely that he specifically modified them to do this. | |

Punch-Clock Villain: Arlo is very into the aesthetic of being a Card-Carrying Villain and regularly refers to himself as "evil", but treats the actual Shadow Pokemon manufacturing and Pokestop takeovers like any other job. He even refers to being "on/off the clock". | |

| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_2bb06191 | comment |
Adaptational Sexuality: No one's sexualities are elaborated on in canon. Here, Arlo and Candela are explicitly bi, Blanche has an Original Character partner who is only referred to neutrally, and Spark has been attracted to both Arlo and the same OC. Cliff is heavily implied to be gay and it's suggested he joined Team GO Rocket because of his attraction to Giovanni. | |

Make-Out Kids: Spark and Arlo specifically invoke this during their visit to the night market on Spark's birthday, by his request because his ex had too much dignity to do it with him. They spend the entire time holding hands and making out in specifically visible locations, just in the name of invoking the trope and being obnoxious. | |

Closet Shuffle: When Arlo smuggles Spark into Team GO Rocket HQ, he hides them in the closet in his room. The pun on the other meaning of "closet" is lampshaded by Spark and not only does Sierra see right through it, she interprets it as a Literal Metaphor and states that Arlo really didn't need to go to all that trouble to tell them he was bisexual. | |

Adaptational Gender Identity | |
| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_3da7b862 | comment |
Adaptational Gender Identity: Arlo's gender isn't elaborated on in canon. He's explicitly stated to be a Transgender man here. Spark is still a man, "more or less", but mentions not fully connecting with any label, including "nonbinary". Blanche is referred to with neutral pronouns in canon, but their gender identity is left up to interpretation. Here, they're explicitly stated to be nonbinary. At the time this fanfic was written, Rhi hadn't gotten a gender confirmation in English, but most sources described them as male. They're nonbinary here. | |

Safe Word: Spark's is apparently "cheeseburger pizza". Arlo points out that if they actually do anything (it's ambiguous if they do or not), "no" will suffice. | |

Arlo's taste in music leaning towards the more emo end of Post-Hardcore and being described by Sierra as an "amalgam of angsty boys with squeaky voices whinily describing their exes, distorted guitar riffs that used a maximum of 3 chords, and screaming" demonstrates his Emo Teen personality and that both his evil status and obsession with Candela may be as much performative as anything. | |

Genius Slob: Arlo is knowledgable about hacking and Pokemon and serves as the head of his organization's R&D department. His room is an absolute disaster area, with his floor usually being covered in stolen Pokeballs and laundry and it's implied by Candela that it may have been years since he washed his sheets. He's seen at the beginning of the story not having changed clothes or showered in weeks. | |

Tsundere: During their first date and video chat, Arlo alternates between displaying affection, claiming that he doesn't actually like Spark and is just hanging out with him to fulfill Sierra's assignment, and cringing with embarrassment whenever his affectionate behavior is revealed. Apparently he behaved like this while dating Candela too, since she called him this which sent him on a Wiki Walk which somehow ended in him exploring Yaoi Genre relationship dynamics. | |

Apparently Sierra printed them as a joke, but he keeps them around, implying that he doesn't find the title incorrect. His official reason is that they're well-made and accurately list his credentials and contact information, so he's not going to waste them. | |

AM/FM Characterization | |
| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_81414673 | comment |
AM/FM Characterization: Arlo's taste in music leaning towards the more emo end of Post-Hardcore and being described by Sierra as an "amalgam of angsty boys with squeaky voices whinily describing their exes, distorted guitar riffs that used a maximum of 3 chords, and screaming" demonstrates his Emo Teen personality and that both his evil status and obsession with Candela may be as much performative as anything. Spark listens to Nightcore and girly dance-pop, demonstrating that he's In Touch with His Feminine Side, unabashedly enjoys "uncool" things, and in the case of the Nightcore, tried his best to find common ground with his dark and edgy ex despite their opposing tastes. In Blanche's car, they play inoffensive, lyric-free synth music at a reasonable enough volume that everyone can hear each other and the road, demonstrating their focus on safety and no-nonsense nature. | |

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: It's ambiguous where the setting is, or if it's even on Earth vs. the Pokemon world. Earth pop culture and Mexican food exists, but canon regions are also mentioned. All that's known for certain is that it's somewhere that it's summer and hot in June, that Team Valor HQ is within a bus trip of Orre, and that it's not Kanto, Johto, Alola, or Orre. | |

Vehicle-Based Characterization: Arlo drives a black sports car featuring a number of bumper stickers, including a sophomoric challenge to anyone complaining about his driving, the insignia of several bands, and a faded Team Valor emblem. This establishes his immature personality, prioritization of edginess over practicality, and that he's not as disconnected from his past as he'd like to think. Blanche's car is eminently practical, being a recent, but not brand new model of standard shape and featuring some decoration in the form of magnets carefully positioned to not block visibility, demonstrating Blanche's focus on practicality and safety. | |

Operation: Jealousy | |
| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_b6caa5b4 | comment |
Operation: Jealousy: Arlo initially plans this in his relationship with Spark, under the principle that Candela seeing him with someone else will drive her to win him back, combined with him dating her coworker making it impossible to avoid and Spark being a man leading Candela to fear that she was his Last Het Romance and try even harder to win him back upon fear that she "turned him gay". None of this goes as planned. | |

Loud of War: In case Spark and Arlo have sex during the first night they spend together at Team GO Rocket HQ, Sierra specifically gives Arlo permission to blast whatever music he wants as loud as he wants in an effort to avert Right Through the Wall. So, Arlo, being the Troll he is, chooses to blast a meme song that Sierra hates, heavily implied to be "Old Town Road", at maximum volume. | |

Can't Hold His Liquor: After only 2 beers at the Go Fest 2020 afterparty, Arlo ends up sitting in Spark's lap and attempting to bribe the Team Instinct leader into giving him a piggyback ride. Candela points out that it's either this or that he wasn't actually that drunk and was just using it as an excuse to get to someone he liked, with the former being unlikely, as evidence for the fact that Arlo had been attracted to Spark for a while and just used getting back at her as an excuse to get close to him. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Arlo makes plenty of references to his music tastes throughout. Bands namedropped include My Chemical Romance, Bring Me the Horizon, Escape the Fate, and Falling in Reverse. Arlo alludes to the Team Rocket motto from the Pokemon anime when Sierra claims their motto is "Team GO Rocket doesn't give a shit about your personal life." After Candela called Arlo Tsundere back when they were dating, he went on a Wiki Walk after looking it up on a site that's strongly implied to be This Very Wiki. Not only does Arlo play Ingress, XM is also apparently literally real and what provides the power boost to Shadow Pokemon and raid bosses. One of Blanche's car magnets reads "Honk IFF you love formal logic", a reference to xkcd. While Spark and Arlo are discussing the linguistics of song lyrics, they come to the conclusion in reference to "Tik Tok" that if Kesha entered and then left a party, it would produce a universe-destroying singularity. A song about horses that was a meme several years prior and which both Sierra and Arlo hate, but Sierra hates more, is mentioned. Based on the fic being set in 2022, it's a reference to "Old Town Road" and its Memetic Mutation status. Arlo plans to call the Shadow Pokemon schematic he's working on at the beginning of the fic Pokémon XD. | |

Spark listens to Nightcore and girly dance-pop, demonstrating that he's In Touch with His Feminine Side, unabashedly enjoys "uncool" things, and in the case of the Nightcore, tried his best to find common ground with his dark and edgy ex despite their opposing tastes. | |

Crossover Cosmology | |
| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_ea8168f | comment |
Crossover Cosmology: XM from Ingress is real in this version of the Pokemon GO universe (doubling as a Niantic cross-reference) and is what powers up Shadow Pokemon and raid bosses. It's also referred to as "animum", a term used for Applied Phlebotinum in the author's other works, which take place in a different universe entirely. | |

| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_ebf8fc6 | comment |
Not a Morning Person: Arlo isn't exactly coherent when he wakes up on Go Fest Day 1 and it's stated that it will take 2 hours for him to become fully sapient. | |

Geeky Turn-On | |
| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_eeaee38c | comment |
Geeky Turn-On: Arlo ends up using "I love you so much" as a catchphrase whenever Spark does something that fits his particular brand of geekdom, like addressing him as "dark lord" or making a Falling in Reverse reference. | |

EmoTeen | |
| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_f081b6bc | comment |
Emo Teen: Arlo's in his 20s, but has all of the hallmarks of the archetype, being a theatrical young man with black and red Nonconformist Dyed Hair who listens to Post-Hardcore and spends a lot of time angsting about his ex. Several characters describe him as "edgy" or "emo" In-Universe. His most regular outfit is a baggy black hoodie and before joining Team Rocket, he owned at least one entire outfit from a Hot Topic parody. | |

| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_f1716087 | comment |
Goggles Do Something Unusual: Arlo's glasses seem to do just about everything but correcting vision, including having Augmented Reality capabilities, answering phone calls, obscuring his voice, and becoming Scary Shiny Glasses. | |

| Guys Being Dudes (Fanfic) / int_f5afa308 | comment |
Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Candela brought a keg to Go Fest 2020, against Pokemon League regulations and her dialogue about it with Blanche suggests she's done similar things before. Based on the notice directed towards her in Blanche's car, she drinks regularly. | |

Revenge Romance: This is why Arlo chooses Spark, one of Candela's coworkers, for his Operation: Jealousy. Or at least that's what he tells himself. | |

Exhausted Eye Bags: When Arlo is seen in his bad state at the start of the story, his eyes are covered in some combination of dark bags and Guyliner, implying that along with not bathing or cleaning his room, he also hasn't been sleeping well. | |
