**Alijah and Logan** is a real-life YouTube series made by two kids with the same name. It's recorded in real life and thus falls into the genre of slice-of-life, but has some surreal aspects. After the pilot episode, this series took a full leap into becoming extremely-expressive in all sorts of dark, serious, comedic and even action-packed ways.

The series has canonically planned to have 10 seasons, 200 regular episodes (20 episodes/10 episodes with 2 parts per season), 10 TV specials and a theatrical movie. It is posted on YouTube by the official channel with the same name, and has a company name known as Thunderbolt Inc, where content for this and The Wario and Waluigi Show is posted.

## Synopsis

Alijah, the optimistic schemer, and Logan, his dimwitted, hyperactive best friend, are the local troublemaking slackers of Whatchamacallit, Texas. They live in a house on Block Block, and do chores under the command of Josh, their short-tempered authority figure, or occasionally his child-like wife, Britteny.

Both, despite being lazy and immature, are always up for adventures filled with fun alongside the enviously arrogant Peyton, who, when not being annoyed by them, is their loyal companion, and Isaiah, their wise, athletic middle-man who they normally ask for help or advice on a certain situation.

In their wacky world, most people are against them, such as the Cooper Kids, the duo of ignorant, ruthless siblings that constantly get back at them, Kicker, a cunning megalomaniac who plots for world domination, Old Man Quill, an elderly next-door neighbor with no regard for anybody but himself, and even 2D-Thin, their own personal paper cut-out nemesis, of which normally foils their plans at some points for sheer enjoyment. No matter the trouble, Alijah and Logan are an inseparable pair of best friends who always pull through their troubles together.

## Setting

The series takes place in a (fictional) city called Whatchamacallit. It resides in Texas, and takes place in the area called Navarro County. It is set in the 21st century and does not have *any* advanced technology unless an episode involves time travel or more genius characters such as Dr. Techno.

Despite being hosted in real life, its not prone to having anthropomorphic animals (e.g. Fred), supernatural phenomena, and even signs of cartoon-like occurrences, like the verse being reverted to the same animation as the intro or extreme slapstick that goes to the length of destroying all of Whatchamacallit.

## Development

Development of *Alijah and Logan* started in 2018 with a past video, *Alijah and Logan; Starring In... Thanos' Wrath! | Part 1: The Terror of The Turbo Titan*. It never got a Part 2, as Alijah and Logan have forgotten about it after some time. The next day, however, they streamed a video, *Alijah and Logan: Minecraft Gaming!*, with the two playing rounds of Minecraft in their former living room. These videos were a starting point for the two and their career in making videos.

A year *later*, they made plushie videos that nowadays they can't even find despite being the sole creators. Maybe Alijah's old account they uploaded the videos on were removed for unknown reasons. Alijah and Logan were separately doing their own content or taking hiatuses to hang out with each other in real-life during 2019 and 2020. At least until they made *The Wario and Waluigi Show*. This is where they utilize their plushies, action figures and overall arsenal of toys for comedic, entertaining purposes. Wario and Waluigi themselves are played by them, and unlike Alijah, Waluigi had Logan's overall personality added to him at the time until Alijah decided to properly plan the show out.

After a movie, re-do movie, and about 4 episodes, Alijah posted an announcement for the actual series being in development and coming soon. Even the intro played in the video. *Twice!* On December 12th of 2021, this wiki was officially created to properly do the series. All of Alijah's work for the show is on this site, and he does it all by himself.

## Trivia

* The series is made only by these two kids, and is hosted in their daily lives, albeit with a few different touches to avoid being compared to their *actual* ones.
	+ For example, Peyton, in the show, is not how she is in real life, and the same with Josh, even the Cooper Kids. In fact, the Cooper Kids' separate names, Fishgills and Pufferlips, are not accurate to their real names.
	+ The show itself is *very* different from the real life of the creators, being twisted into a unique type of show: an irl-hosted show that is half-accurate, half-inaccurate.
* Its main form of slapstick is including extreme feats of strength, durability, speed, and et cedera. This provides an experience similar to that of a cartoon for people to enjoy.
	+ Some characters also endure tons of gruesome injuries, which is a very, very, *very* common running gag. The page involving such can be seen here.
* The soundtrack full of music and sound effects can be seen here.
* Alijah does most of the editing, writing and management. This gives him a good majority of ownership on the show, especially since he came up with it, though he does let Logan have his fair share. Besides, that's why he manages this *entire* wiki all by himself, conducting all the scripts and characters himself!
* The shorts for the series can be seen here.
* Continuity is, for the most part, ignored in this show. You could have someone sent into space, mailed to another country, or even blown to bits, but they're completely fine by the next episode.
	+ Ironically enough, characters could survive drastic things without a permanent injury unless it's plot-induced.
* Believe it or not, the franchise is somewhat inspired by the forgotten Cartoon Network show, *Clarence*, as the creators of *Alijah and Logan* watched it when they were younger, and wanted to succeed where the show failed. Some areas of the series, such as slapstick and action fuel, were massively boosted from it and was also inspired by that of *Madagascar*.
	+ *Ed, Edd n Eddy* also inspired the show a bit. However, the creators didn't want to add Isaiah nor Peyton into the main team just to not have it seem like a blatant rip-off. Isaiah going on hijinks with Alijah and Logan is hinted towards this inspiration, with Peyton hanging out with them in a dynamic similar to that of Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward from *Spongebob Squarepants*.
* Before the show's full planning, it was just going to be the creators recording things going on their house for "episodes". The creators decided to change it just in time though, which was during the introduction video, since their house is also the same area used for *The Wario and Waluigi Show*.
* The idea for animated cutscenes were thought of by the second creator of show (actor for the show's Logan). The first creator (actor for the show's Alijah) took it into consideration, including it in almost every episode, even making one dedicated to it, utilizing them for some of the exaggerated feats, weapons, random joke sections, and the character, 2D-Thin. This feature is like a support beam to this franchise, and mooch off the same artstyle as the intro and outro of the show.
