[leverage-ot3]

time for the obligatory post about what episodes I want to see in the upcoming leverage season(s)

(for reference, I made this similar post in 2020 after the reboot was announced. I'm pasting some from that post bc I still want them to happen lol)

new ideas:

I mentioned a date night episode in the last post (apollo really did bless me with foresight for the date night job on that one) but for considerment: ot3 date night. possibly their first date night after they all get together. breanna and sophie know it's happening (harry is, like, peripherally aware) and some crime hijinks are going down and the three of them are frantically trying to stop bad things from happening that are going to interfere with the date. I want to see them going through it behind the metaphorical curtain. I want to see breanna fighting for her life trying to out-hack the hacker that is going to ruin their ten-part itineraried date. harry has to get in a fistfight and eliot is so proud about it when he finds out after everything is over

tree law episode. harry has been frothing at the mouth about it since it was made. his life has been moving him towards this penultimate moment. breanna thinks it's HILARIOUS and cheers him on 100% of the way. she is VERY enthusiastic about this con

I'm not going to mention certain things because I've seen jrogers posting on bluesky social and I know he might be already writing some of those plots

con that the food trucks have plot-relevance. like, one of his food truck stations is being harassed /victimized by, like, a local gang or something that takes advantage of food truck/cart workers and the team steps in. the actual (veteran) food truck workers get involved in the con. leverage international might just have gained a few retainer members

quinn should come back for an episode. I know the actor is friends with ckane. they should make it happen because it would be iconic and I said so

on a similar note, ckane is friends with jensen ackles and. guys. wouldn't it- wouldn't it be extremely funny if a flame from eliot's past named sean sylvester who is a rugged drifter with a questionable past

episode where tara or maggie (or BOTH, can you imagine how powerful that would be???) come back and there is slight flirting with sophie possibly??? that or very obvious chemistry from a past tryst. sophie has slept with both of them, I know it in my heart of hearts. bonus points if tara and maggie fall in love (I think it would be funny. maggie's taste in men is canonically atrocious, I think she deserves someone like tara at this point)

I just want a lot of side characters to come back, okay? sue me I miss them

gonna put the rest under the cut since this post has become obscenely long

not episode-specific, but I want more mentions of the korean leverage team. and all the other teams too! we know that in canon there is the south korean one, the nigerian one, and one in london (I think that's it for mentions so far, but correct me if I'm wrong!)

episodes addressing issues with american imperialism and its effects on minorities and marginalized communities, specifically within this country (there aren't a lot of episodes where they are actively out of country)

dear fucking god take a more abolitionist stance on policing I'm begging. would it KILL you to not be weird about cops? pls just punch some more cops. take down white supremacist cops, I'm sure you can scrounge something up bffrrn

women's rights episodes. I know it's kind of recent, but episodes about accessibility of stuff like birth control, abortion access, etc. y'all are capable of making excellent episodes on that I know it

more climate crisis-related episodes. god knows you're feeling it in the deep south

taking down a corrupt megachurch pastor (although lbr, there is no ethical megachurch anything and you can fight me on this)

something to do with ace rights bc I think it would be really cool to see the team advocate for that stuff, especially since breanna is canon ace

helping a polycule that is being victimized by X organization/entity (maybe a housing association or medical or something???). breanna is bombastic side-eyeing the ot3 the entire time. it is making hardison sweat. sophie thinks it's hilarious

taking down 'writers' that use ai and self-publish AND/OR people that take original/fan works off of like ao3 and wattpad and publish them for personal profits without the author's consent. breanna would have a field day with this (god herself could try to convince me that girl does not read/write fanfic and I wouldn't believe it)

episode about underfunded public schools. we saw corrupt private schools in the fairy godparents job but I want an episode that would make abbot elementary writers proud

episode addressing native/indigenous. eliot is from oklahoma, I'm sure he is well aware of the health/job/economic/etc disparities on reservations. I will email jrogers about it myself if I have to- it anyone can get people going about native rights through a tv show it would be leverage.

I sent an ask to wil wheaton once asking if he was open to returning to leverage and I think he said he would be down for it. but chaos either has to be a reluctant ally to leverage international and is being handled by quinn as a hitter OR he is just. in jail. bc he sucks.

bpas and/or pfas episode. breanna has mentioned microplastics before but I want more

the team tears the shit out of conversion therapy camp owners and plants the seeds for legislation that will punish parents that try to send their kids to those hellscapes

while we're at it, I'd love to see an ep where they tackle the trans bathroom issue. god knows the news doesn't talk about it nearly enough

something to do with foster care. they end up starting some sort of foster care network that past clients/allies can take part in. maybe a mentorship program for kids that want to do what they do one day (they are very reluctant to encourage kids to participate in crime BUT if that is the avenue that they are going to inevitably go towards, they guide them in the right direction). nana makes an appearance (*insert 'everybody liked that' meme*)

prison industrial complex episode. I KNOW we had the jailhouse job BUT we really need this in our year of 2024

another episode on corrupt influencers. maybe influencer parents? dear god pls take them down a notch

ep where there is an underlying message that tells you how to avoid becoming victim to scams or something, or like is a tutorial for how to identify scams you might fall victim to (sorry, I just have to say this after two separate people tried to pig butcher me in less than two (2) weeks))

not to say I want them to do an ep calling out cop city, but it would feel really good to watch the leverage team rip that concept to SHREDS

the minimum wage job. need I say more? we deserve the catharsis

pls go after goodwill execs, esp the ones in the pnw that have their sector as for-profit and have become millionaires+ because of it while paying their staff (especially disabled staff) fucking pennies

while we're on the topic, pls call out salvation army (the corporation)

I can probably go on for like five hours so I'll stop here

ep that we get to see harry and his daughter bond :)

job where they get to lower the price of insulin (and other drugs)

actually, you know what? an episode where the crew annihilates big pharma and terrible insurance companies

I think that breanna should be able to go off about mass/over consumption as a treat. I 100% believe she has Thoughts about it. like, she will absolutely call out the corporations that are responsible for these trends, but also she should be allowed to mention our tendency for overconsumption as a society. obviously there are a few corporations that are doing most of the world's pollution/ecological damage, but we should be doing our part too and I KNOW it would be in-character for her to go off on it

I bet she has a LOT to say about influencers, tbh. obviously not all influencers are bad, but there are sooooo many problematic ones and problems within the influencer industry

sizing discrimination in the modeling/clothing industry. let eliot talk about how there are no perfect bodies. also while I'm on the subject, can we PLS have more body-diverse background actors on the show? I know this is nitpicky but I'd really love to see some more people that look like me, even if they are just in the background

a thinly veiled writers' rights episode (I'm looking at you media execs and the stupid amount of time it took for you to comply to the WGA demands)

something to do with media companies making entire movies/tv shows and then fucking cancelling them/not releasing them and using them as tax write-offs. every time it happens it baffles me. that is cartoonishly stupid villain shit. I can't imagine lovingly working on a project for a year plus and then the company just going, nah, we aren't going to release it because you suck and it's a good business move

ai art and ai in general. please. let it BURN

okay now I'm done

ideas from the previous post that I still want:

comicon job. I said it before and I will say it again- we deserve it!!! come on, it's the age of the geek after all!!! (in the last post I also said a ren faire ep, but I will let the card game job count for that)

summer camp ep? I saw a tumblr fic about it and I think it could be cute. it could kinda be like the fairy godparents job- eliot in charge of some type of sports (archery, fencing, etc), hardison would be in charge of arts and crafts (this boy might be a genius with tech and in general tbh, but the show did such a good job of showing that he’s also very talented with the arts- sculpting the statue for the miracle job, forging the old diary in the king george job, etc), parker would LOVE to be in charge of a high ropes course. breanna would totally be down for some sort of nerdy kid robotics or simple, traditional camp games (can't go wrong with the classics. everyone loves making bracelets!) I feel like it's too stereotypical to have sophie have kids put on a play but we all know that's exactly what she would do. idk for harry? I think he has the same traditional camp activities vibe as breanna. he's in it for the nostalgia. OR something to do with videogames

please, please, please, please, please make an episode where they take down a cult, im begging. that would be such a good episode. definitely a mindfuck episode like the experimental job (4x11). I’ve seen a few posts about a job dealing with a cult (here’s one) and I think it would be really interesting 

MORE STERLING being DONE with leverage shenanigans!!! give me feral!sterling like in the frame-up job (5x10)!!! give me sterling that protests every step of the way but conveniently looks away and “whoops, the team just disappeared, I have no idea how that happened!!! diddly dang darn it, they got away again!!! sorry guys!!!” bonus points if mcsweeten is there too and also participates in intervening hijinks

the team takes down a circus that is still using and abusing wild animals!!! because first I’d LOVE to see acrobat!parker swinging up in the air like a pro and being in her element, but also because those places are the fucking worst and need to Go Down. give me eliot having to pose as an animal trainer with deep sympathy for the animals being abused, quietly talking soothing words to them when he thinks no one is around (correction: hardison is, in fact, around, and filming his boyfriend’s softness to save for later). give me charismatic hardison playing the role of ringmaster, running and flaunting about and being passive-aggressive to the circus master. give me eliot freeing the animals from their chains when they are finally able to shut the place down and relocate the animals to sanctuaries (his hands shaking just a little as twists the key in the lock, because he too was once an abused, caged animal in his own right and he knows how liberating it is to finally be free).

The 7D episode idea: Jollywood's Newest Superheroes

OK, I had this idea for The 7D. Anyway, here's the plot: A magical mishap zaps the dwarfs with unexpected superpowers. Happy generates light (and glows in the dark), Bashful can turn invisible, Sleepy has telekinesis, Dopey has super speed, Grumpy has super strength, and Sneezy can fly. Doc, however, remains frustratingly ordinary. As Queen Delightful calls upon the "Super 7D" to stop a villain, Doc must strategize around his team's wacky powers and his own lack thereof. Will the newly powered dwarfs save the day, or will their newfound abilities cause more chaos than good? Meanwhile, Doc tries to convince everyone (including himself?) that his brilliant mind is still the most valuable power of all.

Running Gag: Every time someone asks about the dwarfs' amazing abilities, Doc puffs out his chest and proudly declares, "They've got incredible powers!" Then he leans in and mutters, "Well, except for me, of course." When they hear that, they all laugh. Maybe Doc can reply angrily, "HOW IS THAT FUNNY?!"

Doc, despite lacking powers, could still prove his worth by using his intelligence to guide and support the dwarfs. The other dwarfs could also learn valuable lessons about teamwork and appreciating their unique abilities (including Doc's mind).

EDIT: Ooh. I know: the villain plot can be the Glooms teaming up with Dr. Jingleheimer and pretty much almost every villain the 7D faced (except Salvatrolle, but mostly Dr. Jingleheimer) to emit a signal to take over Jollywood and brainwash the citizens to obey them. And the 7D could have a showdown with them in some epic battle scene.

EDIT 2: Want me to make an outline of the episode? I can do that. And as for well as how Happy’s powers would work, think Starfire from Teen Titans, minus the flying and laser eyes.

If they were going to make a cbs ghosts episode starring Trevor, what would you want it to be about/think it would be about? Sort of like an "I know what you did last summer" thing where he freaks out his bros?

@cbsghostsmetasandtrevor

Omg.omg.

I would love a "freak out the bros" episode. Trevor sending emails and texts to Chet and Ari (and David who is a ghost but gets them on his phone somehow).

Maybe even Pinkus. And they all show up together at Woodstone the way that the girls in PLL show up together with texts from A.

Omg he could be T!!!

Yes I would want that so so much.

I would also be game for a What If? Episode like what if he survived, what if he could see ghosts. Etc.

Or

An episode where Jeremy (who is not the sort of loser he seems like and actually liked *cared* about Trevor... seriously bugged by what they did with him) comes to Sam and is like "you solved Alberta Haynes murder, I want you to help solve my brother's". And Trevor is in the background going "I wasn't murdered!!" But Sam is a pushover and goes with anyway only to discover that Ari poisoned the chill Trevor placed under the pillow because of ... reasons.

What about you??

[madametamma]

When Danny first gets his powers he really struggles with them the first time he uses them.  He goes in and out of visibility without meaning to.  Solid objects just fall through his hands, etc. The only power he got down right off the bat was overshadowing.

Which is a shame because we missed out on an episode where he accidentally slips into someone’s body, freaks out, doesn’t know how to get out, and has to spend the whole day literally in someone else’s shoes until he can figure out how to leave their body.

Danny Phantom Season 4 or 3 Episode Ideas

Here are some other Episode ideas for Danny Phantom I hope you guys enjoy

I already did The Doll and Phantom one.

Young War: Dalaria the doll loving ghost and Youngblood have a war on which toy is more fun to play.

The Ghost of Oz: Agatha traps everyone into her own version of The Wizard of Oz.

Augment Orientation: Danny and his friends face off a ghost named Agatha who can manipulate reality into her own playground.

Mighty Phantom: Danny is trapped into a magical girl comic book thus being forced to become a magical boy of his own.

so what do you guys think? Probably make more soon…

I hope you guys enjoy and don’t forget to stay safe and Kawaii!

bye

You literally always send the best asks, so we’ll thought through and I’ve never seen you ask someone the same thing twice so I figured I’d sent you one

If you could write more seasons / specials / webisodes / crossover for eah what would the plot be for each?

Keep in mind that Mattel would still have to approve it so don’t go crazy with dark lore + queer ships but definitely can add more than what was originally in the series - or you can completely discard this and do what you want. Rules are made to be broken.

I would actually love to hear this extremely detailed if you had lots of ideas

I have been terrified of an ask like this one gracing my inbox. (Still grateful). As much as I ponder the franchise I haven’t thought of much that would objectively move the plot forward. What I’ve been obsessing over are the cracks in explanation or how plain everyone is in a world filled with magic.

Firstly, thank you? One of the reasons I haven’t asked anything twice is because if anyone wants to answer the prompt they are free to (Please do, I beg y’all). And because I figure people have already suggested these ideas already but outright saying “Hey, I want you to answer” appears to work best.

I really like asking people things! But it takes a while when a person has no clear prompt for questions ("asks are open" is vague in this bottleneck of a fandom). Or I see content on their blog that already answer a question I might’ve asked/not involved with other fandoms on said blog.

Also like, the asks I’ve gotten before were objectively a challenge so I just thought that was the bar…

I will say right now I don’t like crossovers so I don’t have many ideas regarding that (Even with g1 monster high).

So webisode ideas….

An episode in which Kitty either apologizes or doubles down on what she did in a Cat who Cried Wolf. (Let’s be clear, the consequences for Cerise would have been worse than death. I am still bitter) (and have also forgotten most of the books if this is ever rectified).

A few episodes where Apple and Raven don’t appear at all and also doesn’t introduce anyone new (they aren’t bad, I’m just bored of them appearing in everything).

Conversely, a few episodes where it focuses on the fact that allegedly Raven and Apple have a social circle outside of their room mate.

(Raven Maddie Cerise and Cedar)

(Apple Briar Ashlynn and Blondie)

An episode on what Apple and Maddie do as co presidents

(any extracurricular episode really)

An episode focusing on the brothers Grimm. I noticed that after Spring Unsprung continuity from the specials doesn’t seem to matter to webisode continuity. So it probably won’t delve into the resentment Giles has built up from being trapped. The next best alternative is something involving Milton’s obsession with the unicorns. Maybe Milton lost a unicorn but is too embarrassed to announce it and sends Giles (or Giles notices on his own and helps anyway) to find it.

And an episode where Ginger has to reconstruct something on her gingerbread cottage and Cerise and Ramona are enlisted to help her.

A boys only episode. Idc what the plot is.

Full salt ahead…

An episode where either Duchess or Ramona call out Poppy on her apparent Roybelness. (Ramona mostly, and then when Poppy reveals the sister secret Ramona is still annoyed, and points out that Grimm probably wouldn’t force them to switch places if he knew at this point (because you don't need two Rapunzel's, but you need at least one Badwolf). Cerise is the reluctant peace keeper)

Oh and also an episode where people eventually hear about the Red/Badwolf romance (friendship?) but mistakenly attribute it to Cerise and Ramona somehow. Obvious it gets cleared up by the end.

If nothing else a picnic date between Ramona and Red.

It seemed towards the end we would have gotten something focused on the hood-badwolf sisters. I'm not sure if the reveal of the secret and acceptance is what I want. I would want a special wholly dedicated to the reform school. Or at least, whatever Ramona did to her sent there.

Because it feels kinda annoying to shove the whole arc of acceptance into 45 minutes start to finish. And nothing in the show explicitly conflicts with Cerise revealing her secret to Hood Hollow (Unfairest of them All) which is objectively the bigger fish for them, compared to the populous of Ever After High, so, I'd be bored watching it. Besides even if in show canon Cerise didn't do what she did. It'd still be just the high school they focus on.

Given how the webisodes are formatted I would've preferred they dealt with the reveal that way (or like how they did THD). The tension between uploads would help.

[dead-hedge-space]

New twins in town!

[evilspiritweek]

I think if rc9gn lasted longer, we probably would have gotten a fnaf-esque episode. They'd probably have it be malfunctioning animators set up by Viceroy or something.

[avgfandomguy]

Oh no someone (me) dropped their ideas for more rottmnt sports episodes (@nickelodeon bring back the show and also hire me as a writer please please please please)

Raph- Centric (Hockey)

This would happen prior to the movie but basically the clan is playing hockey for God knows why and Raph is in the goalie box (because he's big, has quick reaction time, and is nimble). He has to deal with being in one spot and not interfering with , say, someone checking Mikey into the wall, or Leo being a showboat a la the pizza puffs episode. According to the show he's no longer the leader, and having to put himself in that box is hard, and now he's literally in a box where he can't interfere (goalies can't just go to center line and get into a fight)

And of course b-plots of Donnie, Leo, and Mikey bickering on the ice and some real awkwardness between our resident hockey players, Casey Sr/Jr

Mikey-Centric (Tennis)

Of course this is inspired by Mikey's outfit in "Clothes Don't Make the Turtle". This time Draxum and Mikey are having father-son bonding time in the hidden city by entering a small tennis tournament (side note - Draxum insists the sport was invented by Yokai). The competition starts off friendly but Mikey slowly gets ugly with encouragement from Draxum and a new personality, Dr. Draxum, emerges that is mean-spirited and a sore loser. Mikey gets more and more unhinged as it goes on, but when he breaks a racquet, Mikey gets really upset for having those feelings and Draxum has to comfort Mikey. The episode ends with normal Mikey back and friendly, even losing the competition. Also Draxum is basically a soccer mom in this.

Leo- Centric (Bloodsport)

Leo's back in the Battle Nexus at the request of Big Mama (and maybe a bribe). He's there to reprise his two victories and to try and defeat the current Nexus champ. He's doing great for half the fight, then his mystic starts acting weird due to a bracelet a "fan" gave him. He starts getting that inferior feeling because he can't rely on his mystic anymore in front of thousands, nay millions, of people, but he ends up figuring out the issue and pulling through and winning, which sends the loser into a spiral, which he helps solve and maybe creates a real rival for Leo (admit it, he's got the perfect base for a rivalry and thus could also be where Usagi is introduced by popular demand).

Donnie- Centric (E-Sport)

Donnie enters in a city-wide E-Sport competition and he's gotten pretty far and he ends up running into Jase from the Purple Dragons without the rest of the team and the two end up connecting over their shared love of video games and shared annoyance of Kendra (reminder that Jase and Kendra are step-siblings). However, Kendra hacks the competition to steal the cash prize and Jase sides with her fur the time being and there's another Purple Dragons-Donnie fight.

After the fight however Donnie and Jase keep in touch to play video games and practice for next year's comp, gaining Donnie another human friend!

(Can you tell I love the sports episodes? They're always done so well and can explore so much of a character and I really wish we got more, especially with such an athletic family. There's so much that could've been expanded on in this show and I wish I got the chance to watch it when it was airing)

[ranfordgallus]

Guys hear me out...

How about...a wild kratts episode about ribbon snakes, and its a donita episode... And then...the ribbon snakes are used...as a ribbon by donita... And martin is (again, for the fifth time) kidnapped by donita because he tried to save the ribbon snakes..and then donita uses him as a mannequin by putting the ribbon-ribbon snakes on him.... And donita puts him in an outfit...and styles his hair.... And uses him as a model, just like the flight of the draco episode except snake version...

Im thinking of what the suits will look like on him...

[leverage-ot3]

silly episode idea but hear me out

okay well the first part isn’t silly! so the episode is based around a con they are doing where a polyam triad wants to get married and have been writing to senators and stuff for years but nothing has happened. maybe there is a time element that leeway has to happen soon (not sure what that would be yet, maybe someone is sick???)

(obviously polycules aren’t only and are often more than just a closed three-person system, but I’m saying triad right now bc I feel like that would be an easier and more ‘socially acceptable’ gateway into more accepting legislation for diverse relationship dynamics)

the leverage crew, of course, can’t outright change the public perception of poly marriage, but they can use the ‘enemy���s’ tactics against them and slip stuff into legislation without people noticing like they do. it’s slimy and it’s not a permanent fix, but it’s a start, and it gives people the opportunity to see poly marriage in action and that it isn’t as terrifying or pearl-clutching-inducing as they think it would be. there’s a long way to go, but the seeds of change have been sown and they will make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible

this is one of the cases that they will monitor on the back burner over time. some cons can finish within a few hours (the bottle job), and some things they will follow over time and make adjustments when needed- amplify voices and expose corrupt politicians etc

and then it’s just after 3/4 of the way through but the con has been finished? what is going on? this is where the silliness comes in

the camera turns to the ot3 and…

hardison, pulling out three individualized rings: I know it’s not legal yet, and we have the necklaces, but I think rings would be a nice touch

eliot, pulling out an intricately carved box that also has three self-handcrafted rings: dammit hardison (with feeling and tenderness, and damp eyes)

parker, pulling out three very stolen rings from her pocket: does this mean we’re getting triple married if we all have three rings???

harry pops into the conversation (practically vibrating) excitedly just casually mentioning that he’s a notary and would be honored to marry them to each other if they wanted to

(they do)

wait, did I say silly? I meant unwaveringly tender and heartwarming

[spacewarriorsam]

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Episode Idea: The Gang Manages to Get Evicted

I had this idea brewing in my head. It’s where the gang tries to be landlords and it fails

Charlie comes in and announces that he has found a run down apartment complex and they can become landlords only for most of them (except Frank, because he’s Frank) to say no at first. What he didn’t know is that it belonged to a relative of Frank’s and they all finally get on board when they hear that they’ll make easy money.

But things go wrong when they get their assignments: Dennis becomes the leader when he’s just not up for it, Dee is in maintenance despite also not being up to it. Mac takes being security guard too seriously to the point of police brutality levels, and Charlie is proven to be bad at pest control, because he brings in flies to the bathroom. Frank is in charge of finance, but putting him in charge of that was a big mistake.

They meet up with some college kids and things just go wrong. Dee and Charlie’s incompetent work makes things worse and Mac of course blames Dee, to which she replies “What did you think was gonna happen?? Blame Dennis!” And Dennis tells her to fuck off. The tenants complain and get rowdy and Mac uses overly aggressive tactics to keep them in order.

Then wacky hijinks ensue and they all get fines, lawsuits and angry tenants. In typical fashion the gang either blames each other or Dee. They return to Paddy’s, planning a contrived scheme.

What do you think? Let me know

[madametamma]

After watching Lois punch Jor-El, i can't stop thinking about an episode idea where they turn Lois into Superwoman in MAWS, any ideas for the plot?

There is an else worlds comic where after the death of Superman Lois gets all of Clark's powers and takes up the mantel in his place, but due to having just gone through the trauma of losing her lover and still grieving she makes some harsh choices for how to protect the world and when Clark does come back he's horrified at what she's become.

But that's a pretty sad story. (Maybe it would fit as a backstory with one of the members of the League of Lois Lanes)

For something more fun what if the whole gang had traits of theirs switched around. Not a complete mind, body, or personality swap, just pieces of themselves shuffled together.

Lois got Clark's Super strength, his anxiety, memories of dating Lana Lang, and blue eyes.

Clark got Jimmy's extensive knowledge of conspiracy theories, confidence he can smooth talk his way out of awkward situations that works 50% of the time, memories of Jimmy's family and dark eyes,

Kara is now fluent in Korean, has a compulsion to solve mysteries, has memories of Lois's mother dying, and bright brown eyes.

Jimmy Can fly (He mostly crashes into stuff), is quick to anger or solve problems through fighting, has memories of begging Brainiac to let a cool planet filled with new friends join the Kryptonian empire and not killing them, and blue eyes.

And as they try to navigate their swapped out traits, they might stop themselves, recognizing that the way they act isn't really them. Clark might stop himself mid sentence and ask "What am I saying?" Or Jimmy would catch himself threatening someone with violence on to realize, that's not right.

[busyasabbey]

In terms of fireman episode ideas I wanna see, I'd love to see what Elvis' mother (he was on the phone to her in Elvis Sings The Blues) looks like and if he has any siblings. And what happened to his Dad. I'd also love to see episodes of Sam and Charlie growing up and their parents.

I'd also love to see some flashback videos of the kids as babies (cos I love babies) and episodes set in the future, like those Simpsons episodes.

I mean, new characters are great and all, but they could take the show in different directions if they feel stuff is getting stale.

[thecryptidbard]

Really need a ghosts B or C plot where Trevor is finally allowed to use the laptop again and he starts playing The Oregon Trail (because it’s a simple game so he can control the keys fairly easily, plus it was around during his childhood so it’s nostalgic). He of course names everyone in the party after the different ghosts and the livings. He quickly discovers just how foolish this was.

The character he names Isaac dies of dysentery almost immediately, which everyone thinks is hilarious, but then Isaac forces him to remake the character and try again, and every. Single. Time. He dies of dysentery. And it makes Isaac FURIOUS each time, like someone-just-mentioned-Hamilton levels of anger. To the point where even Trevor is like ‘hey bro, can we be done now, this is a lot of work and it’s not even funny anymore it’s just sad’.

Thor still thinks it’s pretty funny, but then he sees Trevor kill a squirrel while hunting (in Trevor’s defense, he was aiming for a buffalo, but his ghost power makes computer games far from an exact science) and has nightmares about Oskar again for a week, keeping everyone up (especially Trevor, since they share a room), and all the others of course blame him for the lack of sleep.

Now Hetty’s suddenly mad at him too because she finds out he made himself the party leader, and she thinks that as Lady of the House that position should rightfully be hers. Just when she finally forgives him, her character drowns at a river crossing, and now she won’t even speak to him because ‘you should have saved me! Did you even try? How DARE you let me just die!’ And she won’t listen when he tries to explain that’s not how the game works.

Meanwhile, Pete won’t stop pointing out all the differences between the version Trevor found online and the original one he remembers from back when he was alive, and Flower, mistaking game-Sam’s death for real Sam’s death, spends several days thinking Sam has now joined them as a ghost. She keeps trying to comfort Sam and reassure her that even though he seems totally unconcerned, Jay definitely misses her.

After less than a week, Trevor’s computer privileges are once again revoked, almost everyone is mad at him, and Sam has gotten Flowered a half dozen times because Flower still thinks she’s a ghost and keeps hugging her.
