Apparently i watched this video 3 months ago, but i don’t remember most of this. I’m having my mind blown again. Also the fact that SmallAnt’s off time is spent just like me 😂
I think the most telling reason is he plays what he wants. He’s a variety channel, but doesn’t blindly ride trends like among us or fortnite if he doesn’t like it. And people watch him for the personality, not the game, more than other creators
anyone who ever tried being a youtuber or streamer and entertain an audience know how ridiculously unreachable it is to be as consistently witty and ingenious with your commentary like nl he is far from "just a guy"
He is a not an extraordinary guy personality wise or gaming ability wise, but has amazing ability to tell a story and be entertaining in any situation. If you watch streams you'll notice most streamer has a hard time just keep talking and engaging with the audience, so there are many dead spots in the stream, or they fallback to react content so that the content they react to can entertain the viewers. NL can make a 5 hour stream feel effortlessly quick because there's always something to be entertained with.
He has very quick but not overbearing wit, aware of his own flaws, entertaining, and honest. Always speaks true to himself and his opinions no matter how much cyber bullying he gets. He plays games his own special way that always gets a lot of ‘?’s, but his style of gameplay and decision making is undeniably and authentically his, the “Northernlion touch”.
I've been off and on the NL train for a while now, just massive respect to the guy for grinding out content year after year without relying on chasing gimmicks. He's just a funny guy that plays games, the end.
NL is one of the rare streamers who actually tries to make constructed, funny jokes. Seriously I can barely think of anyone else on the platform who tries to do that.
Yeah, back then Monday nlss was my favorite show... like in general, amazing stuff, I stopped watching nl after the end of the nlss but still great memories.
@@AthosJosue I'd definitely recommend starting to watch again, he still got it, I also dropped off after the NLSS ended, but man im glad i started watching again, his content is pogged
@@MedievalSolutions everytime he goes on a rant or goes off on a chatter I just can't stop laughing. He's so good. He's also genuinely a good dude, which makes me enjoy him more.
Drawfee have caught me off guard with a couple of mentions. NL and Joel from vinesauce. But then again I think I watch em all cause their humour is somewhat similar so it makes sense they might watch each other.
The whole Markiplier thing always gets me because if he'd responded to that message, it very well could've changed the trajectory of the entire channel. Who knows what could've happened if they ended up networking or collaborating or whatever?
Hell it could have reshaped youtube forever with how early it was. Roguelikes/lites could have been thrust into the spotlight much earlier. It's crazy to think about
It's kinda crazy to me how solid of a streamer NL is, he doesn't need anyone, he doesn't have to network. Basically everyone, who ever collabed with NL reached out to NL, not the other way around. That's how you know he's that good. (also that's how you know he's also that hard to reach when QTcinderella was donowalled when trying to invite him to the first streamer awards.
Great comp! He’s always been influential clearly but it’s so exciting to see him getting through to a more mainstream audience. Seems like anyone who tries to emulate his style ends up being generally more thoughtful about their own. Inescapably inspirational
As an almost decade long NL viewer I will always continue to believe, NL doesn't chase trends or start drama, and because of that his viewers and community are the most loyal. And I'm glad he sees that and is now comfortable enough to call out people who are usually given a free pass in chatting online. He's outlived and brushed off haters over the years and lived to tell the tale. The man is level headed and always ready to step on toes for the sake of keeping everyone comfortable. It's actually weird to see him evolve over the years because you don't realize it until you look back at older videos. He worked hard (as much as the joke is playing video games isn't hard) for the stability in his career. Always making sure to show what he's about and keeping the channel wholesome. Not to mention the absolute grind that is TH-cam and Twitch together. Especially before his twitch renaissance with Luna being born. The man has spoken more words to me than probably my whole family put together. And my family is fairly normal in that regard. This dude is my Netflix/Hulu/whatever and I've watched from beyond the glowing box since he was in Korea. And I'll continue to until he finally retires from being an online celebrity. A moral compass of a saint (unless you reheat your fridge sandwiches under your arm, then get ready) and an anecdote king. Return the slab baby. Ryab's here to stay. 11 out of 10 parasocial relationship, would subscribe again. From, before I could drive chilling at home after school, to now eating dinner with the s/o after work, NL is still providing bangers in video form. What a legend.
the Hafu clip wrecks me everytime because I had such fond memories of the old Hearthstone Twitch-scene (I was like 12 then) and her perspective made me realize that a large part of that community was just literal online harassment
Was it really that bad? I remember watching Hearthstone streamers like Hafu and Alliestrasa (sry if a butchered her name) but I never noticed people being mean to them. Am I just blind?
@@GasparGa well to give you perspective on the hafu blizzard era, when she was pro in WOW there was a team in a tournament she was competing in named "going to rape hafu at regionals" and it was allowed....people who did not watch Hafu never respected her solely cause she was a girl. It was horrible to see.
Feels so nice to hear how impactful our community was for her though, 99% of twitch community's suck ass so I'm always so grateful that such cool people watch the same streamers I do (NL, Lud, Big A etc)
As a girl who's into hearthstone I was introduced to NL through Hafu, he's such a good guy. One of the first online communities where I felt like I wouldn't be harassed for being female
NL is kind of a proto-Jerma in that way. Just such a specific character that has this undeniable streamer magnetism to him. Really miss the classic NLSS days, but it seems like people are in a good place rn, so I guess it all worked out
Hate that I didn't know who NL was before he streamed with Lud and streamed SAP, but oh man am I thrilled to be a fan now. NL is so insanely funny, I really aspire to his ability to be *genuinely* quick-witted and good at making just talking to your screen interesting. As the second VTuber Regis said, NL's ability to command conversation and just be a genuinely really interesting guy to watch is a true skill. I'd love to pick his brain some day, because he achieves so much by doing so little (in a good way).
northern lion is the only person that continuously convinces me to buy games, like i see him playin random stuff n im like damn lemme cop that. doesnt happen with anyone else i watch idk why, hes not even tryna advertise or sell the games hes playin, if you're an indie game dev, try your best to get northernlion to stream your game and your set 😂, i swear he is why vampire survivors blew up.
I've only been watching NL for about a year now because of Ludwig's Bro vs Bro video with him, but he has completely taken over both my Twitch and TH-cam. I genuinely had no idea of his existence prior, somehow but he so quickly became the only thing I enjoy watching. This egg is cracked.
If you want to deep dive to the beginning, search "Poison Mushroom Machinima". That was really what got him popping off back in the day. They are hilarious videos.
The first time I ever saw a Vtuber get clipped was someone in Calliope Mori's chat asking "If you had a truck, what would you put in it?" She didn't get the reference, but it warmed my heart to know that the NLSS's influence can spread so far and wide.
It's cause NL stays in his lane, unbothered, focused, flourishing, just a guy being a guy, no drama, no slaving to the algorithm, just a trip to pog city
I agree on no drama and what not be he is still quite literally a slave to the algorithm thats pne of the reasons he stopped playing the same 2 games after so long.@@CastafioreOnTH-cam
@@Taylor-bw4zg Friend if he was slaving to the algorithm he'd only play actually popular games cause let's be real most of the time the stuff he's playing is not algorithm meta (he plays a lot of new stuff but not necessarily popular stuff), closest he gets right now that isn't a oneshot is Lethal and whatever the new social deduction game is but that's cause he's playing them with friends. Plus he'd get an editor too but Librarian does that for free LMFAO. I think he just puts in enough effort for job stability but he definitely is not trying to blow up or he would've changed the way he runs his TH-cam by now
I knows about NL just recently, when he plays together with Jerma and start watching his SAP and Wildfrost series. I can just listen to him making jokes for hours, he's so entertaining.
I remember being aware of hafu as a streamer but I never got into card games so I didn't watch her. When NL mentioned that she might join in on some bits of the NLSS, we(chat) went to the moon. She was such a perfect fit for the gang, now hearing how we were a breathe of fresh air to her she's got me choked up. ❤️ u hafu and chat!
Recently in a stream NL mentioned people suggesting games for him to play and how much it sucks and he hates it. During that banter he said people ask him to replay New Vegas as if they can “recapture the magic of 2015.” I laughed thinking it was an exaggeration because I remember those Sunday streams like it was last summer and oops nope it was definitely 7 years ago.
A weird one you might have trouble finding footage of is Cory aka Spazkid of Newground/Sleepycast/OneyPlays fame. He streamed a little back when Repentance came out and referenced NL as the only streamer he watched religiously but those streams have since been deleted.
Holy crap Spazkid?! Wow… it seems like such an unlikely connection but now that I think about it… I’m an animator myself and I’ve listened to probably over a thousand hours of NL by this point. So easy to have on your second monitor marty
yep he mentioned on a Q&A episode I am pretty sure how he watches the NLSS streams back in the day cause he liked how it was a tight knit group of rotating guests.
Oh wow. I adore OneyPlays and Sleepycabin and never would have guessed any of them would really like NL's style since he's so calm and monotone (in a good way) compared to them, lol. Really just shows that NL's humour can really be enjoyed by anyone.
Lethamyr, a RocketLeague content creator has referenced NL many times. It’s incredible how many people he’s touched without having a massive following. S tier community.
Those two are very much a rarity. There are plenty of other soft spoken vtubers of course but the majority is either loud and energetic (think someone like jacksepticeye) or hornybaiting. I'm not saying this in a bad way either, i watch plenty of vtubers of all those categories. That said fauna is particularly well known in the western part of vtubing as one of the absolute chillest and most calming people around.
The fact that my two favorite youtube channels, Ceres Fauna and Drawfee, which are otherwise pretty much unrelated, are both fans of him is really funny to me.
Ive known about NL for a while (but never watched him play Isaac because I only really cared about minecraft at the time) but Jacob and Julia from Drawfee talk about him enough that i checked him out and i feel left out that i didnt before lol
There are so many clips like this. You can hear things that are unequivocally him but his register is so different. It’s so strange to hear that old old!
I microdose NothernLion content cause i like it so much that i dont want to binge everything and get tired of it so i watch a clip like once every two weeks and its always the funniest shit of all time, dude is a legend
The funniest part about fauna being a fan of NL is that the librarian is a fan of fauna too. He's used her in his thumbnails a bunch and popped up in her chat, and once she even "commissioned" a video by him which was a compilation of NL talking about his shelf.
Just to add to the collection here, I remember fitz in the misfits group talked about watching NL very early on in their podcast, might need to look for a while to find it though
I started watching vanilla BoI many years ago with NL, and multiple times have gone on and off from watching. He just keeps getting better, playing weird browser cooking games, delivering the sanest takes and best off the cuff jokes, all while promoting good character, which can sometimes be lacking on Twitch/YT . Especially with the dad and family takes, which can do great things for the younger watchers I think. He developed his viewership in a special period, growing with the popularity of YT/Twitch, which makes me think he's the result of a golden era in all this. Maybe there won't ever be another NL. I wish him all the best and success, but at the same time I do like that he's a bit of a "sleeper hit". Idk what the community would look like with 30k viewers, but I can imagine it causes more stress for the streamer in many ways. Either way, if I stop watching again, I hope I can come back and watch NL again, many years from now.
Damn I know very little about NL other than he is my favourite streamers favourite streamer, and he plays a lot of SAP which I love. To think his advice started off Markipliers popularity is insane.
Its crazy how he just creates communities and surrounds himself with quality people. He is such a top tier guy, that everybody tries to be on his good side. Hafu story is great example, getting bullied everywhere but on nls stream everyone was nice, nobody not even trolls would dare to say anything bad about hafu on nls stream, cause they knew they would end for nl. And nobody wants that.
Another upcoming TH-cam/streamer who shouts out northernlion for inspiration is Dagnel!! I love this man, he gives off great NL vibes and makes great content.
does fauna actually watch NL or are we looking too deep into that clip edit : my bad I didn't know he was called northern in the champions of fire tournament im a new head
What video is that Drawfee clip from? By the discussion, it sounds like it might be a Pokémon related one, but it could just as easily be a random topic
I wish NL could get over his social closedness (funny for me to say, I'm worse) and be more open to reaching out sometimes to do even if it's just one offs with different people and spread around more. It would help him grow quite a bit I feel and there's so many different people that like him that I feel would be willing to do collabs sometimes even if he doesn't rival their sub count just because he seems to be a really well liked guy beyond what his 1m sub count says. (His Twitch viewers are really high for average on Twitch which might help that too)
NL is so great because he's just a guy playing video games and making jokes (sometimes with his friends). The last thing I would want is for him to be part of a toxic community of drama, political and hypocritical streamers like the Poggers community.
It is still insane to me that northernlion is one of the main inspirations for markiplier
Apparently i watched this video 3 months ago, but i don’t remember most of this. I’m having my mind blown again. Also the fact that SmallAnt’s off time is spent just like me 😂
And Markiplier inspired schlatt
This is all hilarious to me because NL feels like the anti-TH-camr. Like he’a just a guy. And not even a particularly weird or offbeat one
I think the most telling reason is he plays what he wants. He’s a variety channel, but doesn’t blindly ride trends like among us or fortnite if he doesn’t like it. And people watch him for the personality, not the game, more than other creators

I've followed NL long enough you can tell how long someone has known NL based on what memes they reference. Fauna has some deep knowledge.
If they bring up docking you know they're a real one
While she was playing SAP she threw out a "Buy me, sell me" and I was just dumbfounded. She more based than i thought.

idubbz is a fucking shell of what he used to be, i wouldnt want that fucking weirdo anywhere near NL.
Hell yeah
Oh shit we gotta new Enelle compilation creator and I am here for it...
I microdose NothernLion content cause i like it so much that i dont want to binge everything and get tired of it so i watch a clip like once every two weeks and its always the funniest shit of all time, dude is a legend
The funniest part about fauna being a fan of NL is that the librarian is a fan of fauna too. He's used her in his thumbnails a bunch and popped up in her chat, and once she even "commissioned" a video by him which was a compilation of NL talking about his shelf.
Just to add to the collection here, I remember fitz in the misfits group talked about watching NL very early on in their podcast, might need to look for a while to find it though
I started watching vanilla BoI many years ago with NL, and multiple times have gone on and off from watching.
He just keeps getting better, playing weird browser cooking games, delivering the sanest takes and best off the cuff jokes, all while promoting good character, which can sometimes be lacking on Twitch/YT . Especially with the dad and family takes, which can do great things for the younger watchers I think.
He developed his viewership in a special period, growing with the popularity of YT/Twitch, which makes me think he's the result of a golden era in all this. Maybe there won't ever be another NL.
I wish him all the best and success, but at the same time I do like that he's a bit of a "sleeper hit". Idk what the community would look like with 30k viewers, but I can imagine it causes more stress for the streamer in many ways.
Either way, if I stop watching again, I hope I can come back and watch NL again, many years from now.
Holy shit NL gave Markiplier the secret sauce??
Wow that must be an OLD Fauna clip. She still sounds so shy and much quieter there haha
Damn, never heard this clip by Hafu. That's rough
Drawfee Too!!! Came here straight from a Drawfee video lol
I love the first clip cause he 100% did not agree to lunch. He said it would be tricky.
That fucking markiplier clip is so good
oh fuck I feel a parasocial episode coming on
Damn I know very little about NL other than he is my favourite streamers favourite streamer, and he plays a lot of SAP which I love. To think his advice started off Markipliers popularity is insane.
Its crazy how he just creates communities and surrounds himself with quality people. He is such a top tier guy, that everybody tries to be on his good side. Hafu story is great example, getting bullied everywhere but on nls stream everyone was nice, nobody not even trolls would dare to say anything bad about hafu on nls stream, cause they knew they would end for nl. And nobody wants that.
Crazy that NL's favorite streamer is NL
his voice is so different holy shit
Ludwig also likes nl a lot
Yo Nls reach is far and wide good lord
I only know about NL because ENB made a issac video and talked about how much he liked Nl's content so many ppl are plugged into him it is crazy
Oh man, this was actually how I discovered NL too. It feels like an eternity ago.
@@Corlanthis Yeah that was like 8 or 9 years ago
Idubbz on the NLSS woulda been peak
“Lion Gaming and Sons Inc.”
I LOVE THE EGG
that NL is a good egg for sure.
What stream was it when fauna mentioned northernlion.
Great job, when part 2?
Another upcoming TH-cam/streamer who shouts out northernlion for inspiration is Dagnel!! I love this man, he gives off great NL vibes and makes great content.
This was such a good video
Thank you for the content
Just realized the first guy is MathasGames (yes I am blind)
Actual stunlock hearing Little Z say nl's name
I was so pegged when I watched his video and name dropped him like that
does fauna actually watch NL or are we looking too deep into that clip
edit : my bad I didn't know he was called northern in the champions of fire tournament im a new head
NL calls himself esports legend jokingly all the time
What video is that Drawfee clip from? By the discussion, it sounds like it might be a Pokémon related one, but it could just as easily be a random topic
it was "artists draw dark souls bosses as pokemon" from January of 2022
Seeing iDubbbz talk about wanting to do a collab w/ NL and crew was rad. I'd love to see a content cop featuring NL.
be happy lil hafu
Please normalize your audio to 24 LKFS
Think NL and Moonmoon are two of my most watched streamers.
Blad men are too damn broken in this medium. 😂
part 2 when tho
Good shit!
Fear the Egg
kirin jumpscare
is this video like 10 years old?
Hafu💜
NL markiplier father
I wish NL could get over his social closedness (funny for me to say, I'm worse) and be more open to reaching out sometimes to do even if it's just one offs with different people and spread around more. It would help him grow quite a bit I feel and there's so many different people that like him that I feel would be willing to do collabs sometimes even if he doesn't rival their sub count just because he seems to be a really well liked guy beyond what his 1m sub count says. (His Twitch viewers are really high for average on Twitch which might help that too)
NL is so great because he's just a guy playing video games and making jokes (sometimes with his friends). The last thing I would want is for him to be part of a toxic community of drama, political and hypocritical streamers like the Poggers community.
based
I don’t understand how vtubers exist, and actually have followings
9:57 NAFU HUDES
Incel 🙄😒
+2
He’s so normal I cringe when I see the anime streamers talk about him
Found NL just looking for random gameplay in some game i don't even remember, and then never left after I saw that man's deranged banter with chat
Been watching NL since early Isaac days, i didn't know he was the reason markeplier succeeded
