Seed world comedy pitch

I may have mentioned before, a seed world where the only land inhabitants are moss and mushrooms, and some cool Cambrian stuff is put in the water. Then I thought of an addition.

A narrator is brought in. He is unaware of the stuff in the water. He legit believes there is only moss and mushrooms. He is invested in the moss and mushrooms and narrates with excitement about them every time a new species develops. He loves his job. And so it goes for a long while. But then, one day, Something emerges from the water. He's like what the HECK is that??? He is disturbed by this interruption. He avoids the Cambrian things coming on to land with disgust, and continues to focus solely on the moss and mushrooms. With additional occasional interruptions from the Cambrian stuff walking across or eating what he's trying to focus on. Things gain sapience. Still just moss and mushrooms for the guy.

Perhaps also, the sapient population is eventually devastated by a fungal infection plague, and the guy narrates about the fungus, positively gleeful at the Cambrian things destruction. He sounds like a super villain. They won't mess with his moss and mushrooms anymore.

AU where Light never picks up the notebook and goes on to join the NPA, eventually following in his father's footsteps as chief.

The first L has retired (which is a nice way of saying he's disappeared and no one can track him down), forcing his successor Near to take up the mantle.

Years later, the chief of the NPA is summoned by L to help track down a serial killer.

there's the whole fandom gag about tma being an office comedy, but you know what I would really unironically go for? tma as an office black comedy.

the horrors are still there. everything is exactly as bleak as it is in canon. humor is derived from the tragicomic suffering of the characters repeatedly digging their own graves. they occasionally die, but invariably come back worse. everyone knows elias is up to something vaguely nefarious that may or may not involve the end of the world, but his scheme just grows endlessly more convoluted and directionless as new steps are inexplicably added every time it seems like it might be coming close to fruition. average episode plots consist of standard sitcom drama set against a backdrop of unspeakable horror that the entire cast has become completely desensitized to. every now and then someone will try to like, commit arson or cover up a murder or whatever, and this is treated with exactly the same tone as the aforementioned mundane sitcom plots. regular attempts to escape the institute inevitably backfire in absurd ways. absolutely no one is straight.

Kazui adopts Amane

Kazui marries Shidou

Amane goes ballistic

LMAO she can never be free 💀💀💀I shifted things to work as a single silly scene, but omg it was incredibly fun picturing a feature-length comedy of Amane trying increasingly ridiculous ways to sabotage Kazui's wedding. For this scene, though, it was fun enough picturing what a quirky life these two would live on their own 😂

When Kazui told Amane the good news, she did a victory lap around his apartment. It was a silent, stoic march that made him look on in worry, but she assured him it was all in celebration. 

Now the day had finally arrived. She checked the clock, eagerly awaiting the newest arrival to the household. Kazui said he’d still be taking things slowly, but asking this mystery partner to move in was a huge step if you asked her.

And she was thrilled. No one had listened to her voice throughout all of Milgram, she’d been put through trial after trial, but things had finally made the switch for the better. She was getting her reward for her behavior. The prisoners listened to her pleas and allowed her to go home with Kazui. She’d have no more controlling wardens and sinful doctors hounding her all the time. She’d have a picture perfect home. She went from not having any kind fathers, and by the end of the night she’d practically have two.

Kazui had been a bit vague about this new man he’d been getting serious with. He said Amane may not approve of him, but she should give him a try. She denied all his concerns – she knew Kazui was likely still embarrassed about moving in with a man in the first place. So, as any perfect daughter would do, she proved her acceptance by reciting some facts that she’d researched about homosexuals. She wore the shirt with cats and rainbows that Mahiru had bought for her. In the days leading up to their meeting, she asked Kazui for the man’s name so she could pray for him before bed each night. 

Each time, however, Kazui found a way to skirt around the conversation and avoid telling her the name. That was no issue to her. It wasn’t anything new since coming to live with him. Sometimes he planned on cooking noodles for dinner, but felt the need to speak vaguely on the topic until the dishes were on the table. Sometimes he needed to fix a home appliance, but crept around the place with the type of secrecy you’d expect from a burglar. Amane was learning that he was simply not a forthcoming man, and that wasn’t anything to worry about.

She checked the clock again. And again. Kazui had come home late from his shift, and was busy showering in the bedroom. He said he’d hurry out, but she was thrilled with the responsibility of answering the door. She would get to welcome their new guest into the home and make a good first impression. She would do this perfectly. 

She paced the kitchen, keeping her arms behind her back like Kazui had a tendency to do. She crept to the door, pressing her ear against it. Hearing nothing, she resumed her stiff pacing of the kitchen. She heard the water shut off, and worried Kazui would be out in time to steal away her chance at the welcome speech she’d been rehearsing. 

But then – there it was. The polite knock on the door.

“I’LL GET IT!” 

She flew across the room, throwing the door open. Her beaming expression immediately melted away.

“Oh. It’s you.” Kirisaki Shidou stood in the doorway, smiling down at her in his sweet, infuriating way. Amane had seen a few of the others since everything had ended, but she was struck with how odd he looked in casual clothing. Her frown deepened. She much preferred the prison uniform for him. 

“Hello, Amane-chan.” 

She shifted the door an inch, showing her intention to close it momentarily. “I’m sure Kazui-san would appreciate your visit, but we have other plans tonight. You should come back another time. We’re expecting a very, very important guest.”

“Are you now?” Shidou’s smile didn’t fade, like she hoped it would. Instead, it almost seemed to grow warmer. 

Amane moved the door another inch closed. She felt rage swirling in her chest. What if Kazui’s partner showed up now? What if her speech was ruined because Shidou had absolutely no manners and wouldn’t leave when asked?

“We are. I’m terribly sorry–” the look on her face communicated just how sorry she really was “–but you’ll have to leave. It would be horribly rude to our guest if you’re still here.”

“I see… you don’t wish to be rude to this guest.”

She shifted it more closed. “Precisely.”

“Well, then, I suppose I can come in? It would be rude to make me wait out here, would it not?”

Amane scoffed. “I just said –” Her eyes widened. He smiled. 

Reaching above her, Kazui opened the door all the way. His voice boomed. “Shidou-kun, I’m so glad you could make it!”

Amane looked at Shidou’s expression. Then Kazui’s. Then back to Shidou’s. She took a steady breath. So this is how it was, mm? 

She grabbed the edge of the door and slammed it shut.

Currently obsessed with the idea that Taylor wrote Carolina during the folkmore period being inspired by Where The Crawdads Sing (listen I know....) because she couldn't put the book down and was inspired by "the juxtaposition of [the character's] loneliness & independence. Her curiosity & fear all tangled up. Her persisting gentleness & the world’s betrayal of it" and having a glimpse now into how difficult those years were for her personally and those same themes showing up in songs like Dear Reader, Midnight Rain, How Did It End, I Look In People's Windows, Clara Bow, etc. I'm just saying it's no wonder it ended up on the B Stage (the day after I got home from my trip BUT I DIGRESS I'M NOT BITTER I SWEAR) and it ended up on the pre-release Depression playlist because... yeah.

congrats to Phineas Thatch on getting a bit of therapy AND properly going to the club, and having a pretty great experience with both, it was all pretty brief but hey that counts enough

the search for a third meme in a similar vein to follow up "please get him some therapy" and "he should be at the club" so that Phineas can continue to check these off like it's a literal quest log is underway, initial reports say one involving molotov cocktails or arson or something of that nature may prove fruitful

I’m mildly obsessed with red pill women that double as plastic surgery cautionary tales talking about the dating market.

“hot women have to endure blah blah blah” like who’s going to tell her that she looks like miami frankstein’s monster

I need SOMEONE to make a Rom-Com starring Reneé Rapp, Sydney Sweeney and Hannah Waddingham…NOW!

The plot: Hannah is the mother of Reneé and Sydney. She’s been single for years because her husband passed away and finds it hard to move on.

Reneé and Sydney make it their mission to see their mom happy. So they make her a dating profile. Hannah finds out, and she agrees to go on these dates with guys she meets.

Typical Rom-Com hijinks and tropes ensue (not written poorly obviously).

Hannah’s character’s perfect match: The leading man is played by Jason Sudeikis.

Guest cameos OBVIOUSLY made by the cast of Ted Lasso. 😏
