— The Sharktopus calling January and June by the portmanteau he came up with. They attempt to correct him, only to make him angry. This is a reference to a scene in *Thomas and the Magic Railroad* where Diesel 10 refers to Splatter and Dodge as “Splodge” for the first time in the movie.

## **About:**

**January** and **June** (collectively referred to by Sharktopus as **“Junuary“**, a portmanteau of their names) are characters in *Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum*. They are twin crab sisters that have arguments frequently. Their frequent arguments have annoyed their parents and have even lead to physical harm, like when June hurt January’s right claw while arguing on their backyard swing-set about when to swap seats in the *Sea Kids* episode *Sharing Is Caring*. They live in a house underwater and sleep together in a bunk bed, with June sleeping on top and January sleeping on the bottom.

## **History:**

They first appeared in *I Am Lee Ann Marcini*, where Xavier and his friends found them arguing over who should be the DJ, which made Yadina jealous.

In *Door-Jammed*, the two first appear after the scene where Xavier and co. show up to the party. They are initially seen putting together a puzzle. Then they walk past Carter and Christian and wave their claws, causing them to freak out. January asks what the matter is, Carter saying that they intend to use them to tear him apart. June is confused as to why he says that. When Christian says that Susie‘s teeth are made for ripping crabs apart, they slowly back away from her. Both sisters approach and January points out to Susie that her teeth seem to be unusually sharp, to which Susie counters by mentioning January‘s yellow eyes, a common trait that almost all werewolves have. This eventually lead to them arguing along with everyone else except David. Later, the two are moving around in a circle with the others.

In *Werewolf Sleepover?*, the two were scared of Mandy since they remembered that David said “werewolves only come out during a full moon.” Mandy just so happened to come over on a full moon night. Mandy was also scared since she remembered the same thing. Later that night, Mandy had gone into the kitchen until she was hit by a pan, causing her to howl in pain. The sound scared the crab sisters, causing them to hide underneath their blankets, too afraid to come out. They knew who was making the howling sound and they were not about to meet the werewolf that was loose in their house. They heard more cluttering, assuming the werewolf Mandy was searching around, looking for anything to tear apart. The noise slowly comes to an end. Terrified but still in one piece, the sisters went to bed after some time. Next morning, the sisters woke up, wondering what had happened to Mandy. David came in and told them that Mandy was severally injured. The falling pots and pans had crushed poor Mandy under them. The crab sisters were reluctant to help, as they were 100% sure that Mandy was a werewolf. David became annoyed with them since they still think there is a werewolf among the Sea Kids. They retaliated by saying that werewolves come out during a full moon, something he said.

## **Personalities:**

As is typical with siblings, they fight a lot. Sometimes, their fights go beyond mere words, leading to them using their claws. In rare circumstances, they can even cause physical harm to each other, like when June accidentally hurt January with the swing while they were arguing. Although, if one of them becomes hurt, the other sister will be there to help them.

## **On *Sea Kids*:**

In *Sharing Is Caring*, both sisters were overwhelmed with the cuteness of their new baby brother Mark. They began to argue over who got to hold him, eventually leading to their mom deciding to give him to June, much to January’s dismay. January then tried to kiss Mark, but June holds her back. They eventually began to argue over who had to sleep with Mark and what color their walls should be made, leading to their parents deciding. That night, they argued over what side of the room the sleeping bag should be on. Later, they argued over whether the night light should be on or off. January wanted it off, but June wanted it on. They eventually woke their parents up who put them in another room to sleep. They began to argue over whose pillow was whose before going to sleep. The next day, both sisters were playing on their backyard swing-set, January on the normal swing and June on the seahorse swing. January told June it was time to switch swings, but June complained that she had just got on it. January, annoyed, got off her swing and tried to force June off. However, she was standing right in front of her sister as the swing moved forward. The swing then hit January right in the face, knocking her backwards. When June ran over to see if she was okay, January said that she was unable to move her right claw. Realizing that she had accidentally

## **Trivia:**

* ”Junuary” is a portmanteau given by Sharktopus. A portmanteau is a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others. This idea came from Diesel 10 nicknaming Splatter and Dodge “Splodge”. The origin of it comes from Top2456, Sharktopus’s voice actor, combining their names to make it easier for himself. This portmanteau has stuck since then, even to the theme song. While they don‘t like this nickname, they decide not to judge, as to avoid becoming the Sharktopus’s lunch.
