I have an idea for a story I want to try to create in The Sims, but it works just as well as a genuine idea for a comedy. So let me give you the pitch: an alien from the farthest known reaches of space crash lands in a house owned by a married couple and their two young children. Taking him in, he becomes a new, eagerly accepted member of the household. He lives in their furnished basement, while the rest of the family gets the two floors upstairs. It's an unconventional living situation, but it works for them.
In true awkward sitcom fashion, however, our alien protagonist has to try and hide his identity from all the earthlings outside the house (all while also learning about the strange new world all around him). Permanently hiding behind his futuristic technology (which cloaks him in a human disguise), our alien begins working on restoring his spaceship so he can return to his home planet. But as he works, he begins falling in love with the planet earth. More specifically, he falls in love with an awkward earthling who's aspiring to become a popular stand up comedian.
Introducing himself to this new human while in his human disguise, eventually the two of them end up dating. But our alien hasn't ever revealed his true identity to his partner, and his new earth family are beginning to struggle as they cover for him. And also, the spaceship our alien crash landed in has been sending out distress flares this whole time, and now his family from space is coming to rescue him. How will all of these moving parts come into conflict? Is a happy ending possible, or are our two lovebirds fated to never be together? If this were a real sitcom, you'd have to tune in to find out. And the show would get at least 5-6 seasons.

I just want the AI generated forever stream of auto-gen pixelated Seinfeld to come back. That was the one thing Generative AI should exist to create.

Sitcom/dramedy idea - loosely, *loosely* based on the Wanderings of St Cuthbert.
Your protagonists are six idiot novices/barely monks sent running out the monastery ahead of a Viking attack by their elderly grumpy yet badass mentor who stays behind to cover their escape with the corpse of their monastery’s saintly founder.
The rest of the series is them wandering northern England with the *remarkably active* saintly lich, who has no one else other than these utterly clueless dickheads with which to right wrongs, fight paganism and Vikings and find himself another foundation.

SO random as fuck, but:
A sitcom that fakes people out with the song "wanna be yours" by arctic monkey, because they are clipping together shots of a guy and a girl. But! As the song continues, it's revealed they aren't pining for each other; they are both pining for someone of the opposite gender.
#sitcom ideas#sitcom#bonus point if they becomes freinds#ranting to each other about their crushes#and they don't fall in love#the last one is the important bit.#lmk what u think!

Yall... I think I just made a plot for a new sitcom.
"You ever just feel like... you're in the wrong body..?"
"With every passing minute."
Transgender person (doesn't matter which way), and parasite demon, living together.
So, basically, there's this parasitic demon that got summoned by this cult, and it needs a host/someone to possess to survive, so one by one, it keeps taking out the cult members, draining them of their souls and shit until they die. This happens for a while until there's only one still living person in the cult, the person the demon is possessing doesn't really count.
So, Demon basically stalks the last living cult-member, figuring out their habits and stuff. The cult-member is in a coffee shop and demon is sitting a couple tables away from them, sharing a booth with someone who's also looking at the cult-member, but with envy, this time. The random person and Demon have a quick exchange about feeling odd in the bodies they were given (trans person, bc they aren't their assigned gender. Demon, bc they never really can be satisfied with a human host)
Trans person puts their hand on Demon's shoulder, and unknowingly transfers the demon from second-to-last cult-member's body, to their own. Wacky shit ensues as they both struggle with sharing a body that neither of them really wanted in the first place.
So?

#i did not expect this show to be this good#i thought that when people said it was great they meant great at being a sitcom-ish parody comedy#not great at plot action character development deep emotional things i'm not ready to talk about and literally everything#it is so much more that what it looks like#season 1 grabbed me by the balls and then season 2 wrecked me#i have no idea about what to expect at this point#mob psycho 100#anime#memes#em blabbers

Hey, I have a question.
What's up with Shadow from the future? Is he dead? Or is he still looking after Silver?
By the way, is Silver immortal alongside Shadow? If he weren't, it would be very sad.
So, technically, my main Dadow AU doesn't really end up with Silver in a bad future. It's a fixed future timeline where Silver actually gets to grow up in a happy and relatively normal environment, and Shadow gets to share his son with all his wacky friends. It exists just for fluff and sillies.
I DO, however, have an original timeline Dadow AU that does take place 200 years later in the no good very bad future. And THAT, my friend, exists only for the angst art.
#sth#sth fanart#silver the hedgehog#shadow the hedgehog#dadow au#200 years later au#i made 200 years later first but it made me so sad that shadows friends were all gone that i had to make a happy version too#basically regular is for sitcom shenanigans and 200 yrs is for stabbing me in the chest 57 times and stealing my lungs#yall have no idea how ill i am about this au variant it ruins me i literally have made like a full mini comic about this thing#lmk if yall wanna see <3<3<3<3<3 it make me sooooo cry <3<3<3<3<3#also i forgot to answer the last question#but sorry yeah silver definitely isn't gonna last forever :[ he probably has a lifespan way longer than most. but still not immortal

lowkey i feel like we don't appreciate the subtle beauty of the concept of media like night and the museum and ghosts. like literally just imagine: a place where history, and its people that are a part of it, comes alive. not exactly literally, but it's there in a way that people can not just see, but have the chance to interact with. and yet no one really sees it until a special person comes along who doesn't seem all that special until something happens that brings them a connection to that history (having watched natm and ghosts it seems like the more traumatizing the introduction the better ehl oh ehl) and it takes a while for them to get used to it but then they do. and they think "oh, well, great, i gotta live with the fact that i'll have concerned citizens from 6th century A.D. asking me who daniel day lewis is" but then it becomes more than that. that person finds a family in the past, and they come to love it as much as it loves them. despite differences between people who lived decades and centuries and thousands of years apart from each other, they find hope and love and redemption, which sounds really naive but it's not impossible. our past unites us, and we are all one and the same when it comes down to it.
history is not all that great. but it's some thing to be no. 1: cherished, because we wouldn't be here without it, no. 2: learned from, so we can get wisdom from the many fricked-up things we have done, and no. 3: remembered, which is the most important, because yes, our leaders sucked and were not who we are taught they were, our nations are not the picture of patriotism they are so often depicted as, citizens are not always happy or treated fairly, but at the same time we have shown the world that leaders, as much as they have brought nations down, have often times brought it to staggering heights, and different nationalities show just how different we all are and at the same time just like each other. if we're aggrieved citizens, we can unite, and in our unity many find hope and family and love and redemption. we'll never be perfect; we're wrecks, history is painfully obvious in that, but that doesn't mean there's no goodness here, because there is.
#hahah wow i needed to get that out didn't i#night at the museum#natm#ghosts#ghosts bbc#ghosts uk#bbc ghosts#it's actually really really neat how you're able to put such a humane idea into sitcoms and comedies#gotta love the arts man#mindless rantings

Remember my Sims 4/Sitcom story idea post? If you don't, I just reblogged it. And if you do, here's a continuation to it. Meet the five main characters (at least as of the series premiere), the McLellan family!
Hasure Udonda/Hector McLellan: Our alien and leading protagonist. Hector is a shy, socially awkward man, befuddled by the weird world of earth society. He's not a bad man, but he is lost and confused. He dresses incredibly out of place for a modern man, he talks like a robot sometimes, he tries to fit in but doesn't do a great job of it. His adoptive earth family adores him, because he is a kind man who grows to care about them all. But he is also a man who wants to get back home to his parents and family, so he's really caught in a dilemma.
When Hector eventually falls for the budding entertainer who nobody else seems to appreciate, he becomes even more conflicted about what to do with his life. As he falls in love and gains a boyfriend on earth, he doesn't know how he could possibly be expected to leave earth behind and abandon his adoptive family and his boyfriend. In the end, he gets so lost and conflicted that only his alien parents coming to him can help him solve the dilemma. He's truly a man divided between worlds.
Martin McLellan: Martin McLellan is a family man, deeply in love with his wife Jeannie. But Martin's commitments to his family are sometimes strained, since he's also a scientist working at the town observatory. Some people in town deride him as a kook, but Martin is so sincere and kind that nobody can ever actually hate him. They mind consider him a loon, but they'd never call him a jerk or evil or unkind. Nobody can speak of unkind word of Martin, he's just so sincerely optimistic and good hearted.
Martin is the reason Hector gets taken in by the family. Martin saw Hector's spaceship hurtling towards earth through the observatory telescope, and he tracked the path of the ship until he managed to find it out in the new mexico flats. There, he helped extricate Hector from the crash site and led him to his family's new home. Martin was so excited he couldn't help but enthuse about it to his wife and kids. A real life spaceman! With them! Martin had always been dreaming of this moment, but he never thought it'd actually come! And all because he took this new job in New Mexico, uprooting his family from their home in Minneapolis.
But Martin's the one responsible for helping renovate the house to include Hector. He's also the one who most loves having Hector around. Him and Hector frequently exchange knowledge and information, and Hector even helps Martin out at his workplace in exchange for help getting back home. They grow to have a really deep bond, and it's really something to behold once the two of them have started talking about science to each other.
Jeannie McLellan: Jeannie McLellan is the homemaker of the family. A lover of all things gourmet, Jeannie was a high profile chef in Minneapolis when she happened to see some of the waitstaff at her restaurant bad-mouthing a customer for his eccentric habits. This customer ended up being Martin, and it made Jeannie fall in love at first sight. Rushing to his defense, she successfully defended his honour. And then an average night at work quickly became a first date with the weird alien obsessed scientist living in town.
One thing led to another, and Martin and Jeannie became proud parents to two adorable children. Both of them adore their children, and they love gushing about them to anyone who'll listen. But lately, Martin and Jeannie have been struggling with their relationship. Jeannie feels stifled at home, since she's permanently bound to the role of homemaker and mother. She wants to be a chef again, damn it! She wants to make delicious food for the people again! So when Martin moves the whole family to New Mexico for his work, it's almost the last straw in their relationship. They still love each other dearly, but they don't know how to make it work.
It's into this situation that Hector the strange alien visiter arrives. With Hector now there to help with the kids, Jeannie successfully persuades her husband to let her go back into being a chef again. So by the end of Season One of the TV show, Jeannie is successfully running and operating her own restaurant again. But now she's not just a leading cook. Now she's a lady who's 100% in charge of her own business! And to think, it never would've happened without Hector…
Although Hector initially doesn't get along with Jeannie (food on his homeworld is very different from food on earth, and he once accidentally insulted her cooking), the two of them slowly became like family to each other. It's slower than it was with Martin, but by the end of Season One or Two, Hector and Jeannie are pretty much family just the same.
Darrin McLellan: Darrin McLellan is the oldest of Martin and Jeannie's two children. Ten years old at the start of the show, Darrin is almost the complete opposite of his father. Lonely and pessimistic, Darrin dresses in almost all black (or at least black and white). He's only nine, but he acts like he's carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. An oddly intelligent kid, but one burdened by a melancholy far beyond his years.
Hector coming into the family actually turns out to be really beneficial for Darrin's development, since they're both just as shy and socially awkward as each other. An alien from the far reaches of space and a lonely nine year old boy end up far closer than anybody would've ever suspected. Hector almost grows to see Darrin as his real nephew. When Hector learns Darrin was bullied at school for being different, he almost ends up using his technology to take revenge on the bullies. Darrin talks him down, but the two of them might be the closest members of the family (even closer than Hector and Martin).
Samantha McLellan: Samantha McLellan is the youngest member of the McLellan household. Only seven years old when the show begins, Samantha is a very sporting and sociable young girl. In contrast to her brother Darrin, Samantha is a complete social butterfly. She has almost dozens of friends. People just love her. She's a sweet girl who's nice to everybody, and she makes herself well known amongst the community. Her family has only been living in New Mexico for about a month, and already Samantha has friends all over the neighborhood.
When Hector joins the family, Samantha takes it upon herself to try and introduce him to earth culture at large. Since she's only seven years old, she almost completely overwhelms Hector with information. She makes him stress and awkwardly force himself to be something he's not, but she doesn't do it intentionally. She's just a seven year old girl with far too much energy on her hands. It's not her fault Hector seems to enjoy spending more time with Darrin.
But even though Samantha initially feels like Hector loves Darrin more than her, that would be disproven by the end of the first season. At the season finale (maybe around the 30 episode mark), Hector helps set up Samantha's birthday party, and even buys her a gift straight from the heart (with deep meaning and sentimental value). And in that moment, Samantha finally realizes Hector loves her like a member of his alien family (thus wrapping up a season long storyline).
PS: If you know what Martin, Jeannie, Darrin and Samantha are all referencing, them congratulations! You know about as much tv show trivia as me, someone who's read wikipedia pages on way too many old american sitcoms. And you get commendations for recognizing my little joke.

I so desperately wanted to play a rook who was serious and thoughtful but no matter what every line felt like a quip or a joke. I generally like all the actors they chose to voice rook but rook's writing is the weakest of the whole cast hands down and that's the player character... So I think it makes perfect sense to feel disappointment.
Yeah the voice actors have been killin it; I really like Emmrich, Lace, and Solas' (as usual, king GDL, my goat, I'm biased, etc etc) performances in particular.
Emmrich discussing his relationship with death. Bellara opening up about her brother. They really shine in more grounded/serious scenes, which is why I wish the tone was less light.
Companions have always been quirky lbr, but it felt more balanced and well-timed than this. My girl Harding feels too wholesome-awkward to be a 35+ year old Inquisition scout. Rook feels too inexperienced and laidback to be a leader. Lucanis is a very handsome barista who I keep forgetting is part of the organization that ruined Zevran's life. Davrin and Assan have their own lil sitcom going on during this double blight. So on so forth.
Without rehashing whats been discussed a trillion times: the vibes are just off.
#Davrin Assan sitcom name ideas....My Griffon & Me...Two and a Half Wardens...How I Met Your Broodmother#dav spoilers#replies#veilguard spoilers#sorry if its a bummer but i gotta be honest#its in good faith 😖 i just want DA to reign supreme in its genre again#it should be boxing for these GOTY spots like take the crown back ! stunt on these heauxes ! 😭

The urge to write an outsiders oneshot where all three Curtis bros get sick and all three of them compiled onto Darry’s bed and using Darry as a body pillow and the rest of the gang freaking out and acting like it’s the end of the world aka learning to take care of the brothers who’d always taken care of them 🥹
#liz.txt#the outsiders#the outsiders musical#the outsiders 1983#the outsiders 1990#for once my ideas are not angst filled lol#why do the best ideas come right before bed???#all six boys are used to darry taking care of them but never once having it the other way around#soda asking for asprin#two-bit secretly typing into ai overview what asprin is used for and how much should he give him lol#it’d be so chaotic like a sitcom lol#ponyboy curtis#sodapop curtis#darry curtis#two bit matthews#steve randle#johnny cade#dally winston#tim shepard#thinking adding in scout? not sure yet

I've been thinking a lot about Leonarda's not-death ever since it happened back in April.
("What death?" you might ask, to which I say: "EXACTLY!")
Back in mid-April, Vegetta and Leonarda were mining together in a one-block wide tunnel. A mob (a Petriman) got between the two of them, and Vegetta told Leonarda to step back while he took care of it. At this point, they'd spent enough time together that he trusted Leo to listen to him.
Instead, she was killed by the same sweeping edge bug that killed her siblings.
-
Vegetta's reaction here is what's really interesting to me. Unlike most other parents on the Island, there are no shouts or tears – only a very brief "Hmm" and then silence. He very quietly takes stock of the situation, saying "Vegetta, no" and wondering aloud why Leo didn't defend herself. In chat, Foolish says "It was a bug, right? LAG" to which Vegetta slowly responds "Yes, lag. Bug." (Despite this, Foolish still asks "WHAT HAPPENED" in chat, though Vegetta doesn't reply).
Instead, he creates a slightly wider space in the tunnel where Leo's body is. He continues quietly taking stock of the situation, wondering why Leo didn't defend herself (which is what necessitated his intervention). She'd been lagging a lot that day, and he figures that must be the cause, and eventually when Leo re-appears out of thin air in the middle of the cave and collects her stuff, she confirms that the lag got to her and that's why she didn't fight the mob.
Now here's where things get interesting:
Vegetta checks the tab list. Online, it's just him, Leonarda, Roier, and Foolish. He quietly tells Leonarda "The body has already disappeared, and without a body, there is no crime. Nothing is happening. Did you die?" Leo shakes her head, and Vegetta shakes his head too, and in the kind voice he uses sometimes with Leo, he says: "I believe you have not died. Where is the body? It isn't anywhere, no mija. If it was a mistake, it was a mistake."
Leo says: "I saw Diosito (God) pa, and I was scared. God, what am I doing here?" and Vegetta laughs, telling her it's alright. Leo says "No pasa nada (don't worry / nothing happened)" and Vegetta says: "And the people who are watching us have not seen it either." To Foolish and Roier, he messages: "Secreto."
And the funniest thing about this is it worked.
Not a single person spoke about it. I saw this entire event go down live and I didn't see a WHISPER of what transpired among fans. I can't even remember if the QSMP official accounts talked about it (they sure didn't mention it in Vegetta's recap of the day). We could discuss this in meta terms of course– Leo was having known lag issues that day, Vegetta's beloved by the admins so of course they're willing to turn a blind eye rather than slap a "?" over Leonarda's life on the Eggstatistics, but meta talk isn't what I'm interested in here.
I'm interested in q!Vegetta, the weird "god-adjacent" aura he's got, and the way the universe bends to his will.
Before he took a break from the server, Rubius seemed to be a caretaker for the Eggs who died (for example, he was present when Maxo, Quackity, and Mariana & Slime said their final goodbyes to Trumpet, Tilin, and JuanaFlippa). Because of his role as an "angel" and some of his dialogue during the early days of the server, it's not a stretch to say he probably came to collect any Egg who lost a life. I can imagine he did the same when he saw Leonarda die – that is, until Vegetta said "And the people who are watching us have not seen it either." Realistically, we know Vegetta was saying this to Chat (and possibly the admins as well), but again, we're looking at this from an "in-universe" perspective.
I wonder if Vegetta was aware of Rubius' role, and this was his way of telling Rubius "No. I won't allow that to happen." We know Rubius has a soft-spot for Vegetta (and we also know that Rubius was cast out of heaven several months later) so it makes me wonder if these two instances are connected.
Either way, this isn't the first time the laws of the QSMP universe have bent for Vegetta, and I certainly don't think it'll be the last.
Rubius or no, Leo didn't die that day.
Vegetta made sure of it.
#i talk#QSMP talk#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA#I FOUND IT#I wrote this post TWO MONTHS AGO#MAYBE LONGER!!!#I had clips and links prepared but I have no idea where those went#I'm not gonna bother saving this as a draft and risk losing it again#I have nearly 70000 drafts on my main blog but by some miracle this got saved in my art blogs' drafts instead#than the stars#Anyways. Leo was killed by a whale a few days later because Foolish was in the bathroom lmao#''powerful god-adjacent man who bends the laws of the universe'' vs. ''man whose entire life is a series of sitcom episodes''#I still really want to write out that ''QSMP genre'' thought I had ages ago. It's still relevant and always will be relevant#but anyways#I wrote this months ago on very little sleep but DANG. It's a banger.#I miss writing analysis stuff I wish I was in a headspace where I could do this more like I used to#QSMP analysis
