You know what would be fun is like a plot/character swap between rides again and goes to africa.... like Ernest showing Rene the "boomerang" he found and obviously she doesn't recognize exactly what it is because she's not a scholar but she can tell it's something interesting, maybe part of an artifact, and is like (girl who has only seen Illinois Smith and the Curse of Hitler's Brain) oh boy... getting a lot of "Illinois Smith and the Curse of Hitler's Brain" vibes from this!! And she recognizes this as her Big Chance to go on an adventure so she's like c'mon Ernest show me where you found this! And there's no real romance between them and it still ends with her realizing she wants a calmer lifestyle after all, but she does gain confidence along the way and it culminates in her coming to Ernest's rescue.

And conversely, Ernest trying to give his definitely mutual buddy Abner a yo-yo, and he's not remotely interested because it's not like it contains any valuable jewels or anything, surely, but Dr. Glencliff sees the transaction and is like oh boy time to kidnap Abner and threaten to cut him up with my cranial bone saw if Ernest doesn't hand over the jewels!! And there is a romantic arc and it actually fully plays out because while I'm at it I'm also switching around a bunch of other aspects. Well that's all

#actually that's not all even a little bit. allow me to go on #i think in this version of the former narrative they wouldn't even go to africa. like some foreign delegates show up looking for the eyes #and it's difficult because the eyes somehow ended up inside a giant cannon. but eventually they're like ok we've got them #time to take these back to their rightful place and btw you two who unintentionally helped us find them can stay here in the usa #ernest and rene would still get lost and wander around but it would just be in a nearby forest in or adjacent to their hometown #meanwhile in the latter narrative i do think maybe ernest and abner would get kidnapped and taken to england #this would change a lot about both plots but i think it'd be an improvement. make some stuff cooler and some stuff less Deeply Uncool #also the respective companions' romantic situations would be changed around in a way that's not quite a 1:1 swap #the tldr is that they'd both be gay. and both have fulfilling arcs. that's what matters.#i might draw something about this or even attempt some screenshot edits but probably not. we'll see. anyway you get it
