*barges in once again* Aight, remember Feng Shui?
Basically, one of Howie's Worker Bees goes missing into a portal to the Netherworld, and Howie himself has to go & find him, encountering various factions & individuals along the way.
The EE world is a sort of anomalous "fifth juncture", barely connected to the rest of time & boasting it's own kind of magic. This is kept up by the Painted Shield, a multinational order of magic knights who use Magitek to keep everything else out (also because using pure EE magic anywhere besides it's world of origin produces results that are volatile at best).
Howie will not stop until he can locate Benjamin & bring him home. It does not matter if he has to fight through sorcerers from the mists of Chinese history, demonic cyborgs from a dystopian future, or cyborg gorillas. He will find his Bee.
1) Sounds like a heck of a Jackie Chan-esque Kung Fu movie.
Secondly, the Painted Shield does fit naming conventions (in Taiga at least). We can imagine them being modeled after medieval knights from Monty Python and the Holy Grail specifically.
Next. In the context of making a plot, we can imagine a conflict in the organisation on whether they should send a team to rescue Howie before he alerts the other junctures to the EE world's presence.
{The ghost in charge of finding new paragraph starters has been found to be lacking, and has been sacked} We can imagine Howie not unable to fight his way through practically the rest of time with limited information. Who needs dynamite when you have the personification of the fury of the working class?
{The ghost in charge of replacing the previous ghost is nowhere to be found and has therefore been sacked} Another idea for the plot is that the protagonist is part of the Painted Shields who's plot-based struggles revolve mainly running across the tightrope that is the Painted Shield's many, many concerns regarding exposure risk and what to do with any extra-dimentional intruders. And also finding Howie via the trail of destruction left behind.
{Due to a lack of suitable replacements, the ghost in charge of sacking the ghost who sacked the original ghostwriter has been sacked} Howie could even be a mid plot 'antagonist' whose joining of the protagonist's side via explaining each other's positions paves the way for a greater plot point of fighting whatever kungfu sect leader has kidnapped Benjamin the Worker Bee.
And finally, I can imagine the Painted Shields organisation being in competition with other magical authorities such as the Fleecities and similar institutions in the other EE countries. There will also be the question of if the Painted Shields brings in Howie's other worker bees since they should know their boss.
But if we are to discuss all this in context of making a movie, then we must consider the below:

”Or that one movie that also popularized the legend of King Arthur long before 2004.” (Oh goodness, I wonder how Altria would react to that XD)

Benny wasn’t actually caught by the legion because he didn’t put on a helmet, it’s because he laughed at the name of Caesar’s very great friend in Rome

they should let me write for fallout season 2. here are my ideas
hank arrives in new vegas and is immediately jumped by a local gang. specifically the kings. i just want to know what it would look like for kyle maclachlan to have the shit beat out of him by a dozen elvis impersonators
dj carl is revealed to be the current president of the enclave. and also sergeant arch dornan's son. and a ghoul fucker.
we continue the trend of cooper howard pre-war scenes. keith mckinney from fallout 4 far harbor makes an appearance. he is played by billy eichner. i will accept no other casting decision.
we learn the reason cooper howard kept talking to his dog is because he can actually communicate with dogs. this is mentioned only in passing and never elaborated on.
a flashback scene to hank still being in moldaver's captivity. i just want to see the moment he realizes she fucked his wife
i don't know which ending of new vegas should be canon, but i do think the canon ending of the lonesome road dlc should be that ulysses lives. i just feel like he would hate all the protagonists and i love that for him
return of fev super mutants. specifically the one that sells tumbleweeds
tom waits as a ghoul hobo. it's a natural choice. he keeps showing up and demanding lucy answer his riddles
brotherhood squires are given coconuts so the knights can pretend they are riding horses. squires who do not clip-clop for their knights are executed.
norm escapes vault 31 by making a finger gun at bud and threatening him. he convinces bud it is a real gun. the whole standoff takes about 10 minutes
thaddeus is welcomed into the vault 4 community. he and overseer benjamin fall in love. they have a beautiful wedding
we are graced with an appearance by fallout 4 fan favorite companion john hancock. he has an hour-long knife fight with walton ghoulggins that ends in a draw. it is then that they kiss-

The Tale of The Rabbit of Caerbannog
Cringetober 2023, Day 17: "It was a dark and stormy night. . ."
On AO3
Rating T - 592 words - Monty Python and The Holy Grail
Summary: The rabbits of the forest of Caerbannog tell the tale of the night when one of their own became the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog.
Tumblr media
Story:
“It was a dark and stormy night.” they whispered, many voices becoming one voice. Their breath was a wind that battered its way through the trunks of the old Caerbannog forest. 
“The dark was complete black. There were no stars. There was no light. Nothing existed in the woods. We ourselves stopped existing in that dark. 
“The storm was unexpected. A shattering of meteorological forces that was everywhere and nowhere. We dragged ourselves through thick air. The atmosphere was laden with water and electricity. Our fur clung to our trembling bodies. Our long sensitive ears were deafened by the greatness of the thunder.
“We were rabbits before that dark and stormy night. Now we are something else. A rabbit can fight, but doesn’t. A rabbit runs. A rabbit hides in the burrow. We were born with sharp teeth and sharp claws. But they weren’t meant to taste blood. They were to dig and chew and build the burrow. We were architects of safety before we were remade as machines of war.
“We have tasted blood.
“It was a dark and stormy knight who stumbled through the forest then. He was huge (as all humans are huge). Slow (as all humans are slow). His clanking metal skin would be warning enough any other night. But the thunder had been so loud and the storm so sudden.
“Many of us were out on the forest floor foraging for food. Among them was a new mother from our burrow, a lovely lady fair of feature. The storm frightened her (as it did all of us). She tried to calm her heart and find her way home. She was blinded by the darkness (we all were). She was deafened by the thunder (we all were). She was unable to smell anything but the drowning rain as it poured into her. 
“The knight came upon us. He was a lumbering useless fool. But he was hungry. He grabbed at any of us within his reach. His meaty arms flailed. His grotesquely bent fingers grabbed.
“We ran. We’re rabbits. We ran. We are the fastest creatures on the forest floor. Faster than wolves. Faster than human witches. Faster than human gods. But the storm. The knight kept pace with us in the storm.
“He followed us through the shrubbery. He followed us to the burrow. The lady fair was the last of us to make the dive. He saw her bright white fur, even in the darkness. We thought we escaped him into the safety of the burrow. Until, the knight began to dig.
“He dug up the burrow. He dug up the children. He laughed. His laughter was like the thunder. He grabbed the lady fair’s kit, crushing it in his terrible human hands.
“As her kit drew its final breath, something changed within the lady fair. She raised her nose to the heavens. Her ears alert and haunches raised to fight. She called to any god listening to give her the power to kill any knight who crossed her path.
“Her call was answered.
“A violent new strength took up residence in her body. The lady fair’s teeth and claws had a new purpose. She devoured the knight. Blood mixing with the downpour of the storm.
“She made a new burrow, a giant burrow. Where we are all eternally safe. A burrow big enough that knights could walk right in. And her God would lead the knights to her. Wolves to the slaughter. Entertainment to satiate her bloodlust.
“But there is never enough knight’s blood spilled to appease the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog.”

alright here is a wip cause this database shit is HARD i see why it took @elenaril multiple days
Tumblr media
Slide: Bio -One half-body feature photo (mercrunner outfit), well lit, transparent -Vincent Guerra comes from a long line of Sephardic Jews. His family escaped the Spanish Inquisition in Spain and fled to Mexico in the 1600s. Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition to come to Mexico. Local vintners gave them work at a winery that produced sacramental wine where they learned about distilling alcohol. Eventually, they settled in Guerrero, Mexico and established Guerra Mezcal. The distillery burned down in the 2040s and his grandparents and his mother moved to Southern California, where his mother met his father.
He was born on Valentine's Day in 2052. His mother adored him and his father loathed him. In 2053, his father moved them to Night City in the hopes of building them a better life., eventually settling down in a megabuilding in Heywood that would be his home for the next 12 years. During his Bar Mitzvah on February 14th, 2065 as he was reading his Torah portion to a nearly empty synagogue, his father murdered his mother and then himself in their home. V refused to go with the social worker to a group home and chose to become one of the many orphan sons of Heywood.
He had a natural aptitude for netrunning and admired Spider Murphy. At age 16, he and Jackie met when V returned to Night City, after unknowingly throwing in with a Raffen clan out of Arizona when he ran from Netwatch during a ransomware scheme. From there he slowly and thanklessly worked his way up the merc ladder until a funny little parasite flipped his world upside down.
Slide: Distinguishing Features -Scars, tattoos, cyberware, hair

Slide: Weapons -Dying Night, Overwatch -Favored Quickhacks: Contagion, Short Circuit, Overheat, Cyberware Malfunction V can take most enemies down before you can say "I'm in." He prefers silenced weapons and stealth to support his netrunning. He is not known for well-thought plans and while he doesn't go guns blazing, he does go deck open.
Slide: Locations -Glen Loft -Lizzies -Afterlife -Rebbe's Reds & Relishes

"The Funniest Joke in the World." Scene: Nazi officer interrogates his prisoner for the deadly joke being used as weapon in WWII.
So I know that, when this Monty Python sketch was made, the assumption was that the audience either did not know German or would not care that the German version of the joke was absolute meaningless nonsense
But I think it would be even funnier if that was ACTUALLY how the translation came out ----not because the English version was nonsense, but because the translators "worked on one word each, for greater safety." (I don't care if "one of them saw 2 words of the joke and spent several weeks in the hospital"-- that is still not how you get a comprehensible translation)
The fact that it still worked on Germans is because Germany is where Hannah Hoech was fundamental in the development of the Dada movement, prior to WWII, and maybe that's just how the German sense of humor worked at the time
(source: my heritage is largely Austrian and despite my deep admiration for cleverly constructed wordplay, the only jokes that make me laugh til I can't breathe are the surrealist ones. If I'd been raised with German as my first language, more deeply sensitive to the linguistic nuances of it, I think this joke probably WOULD kill me in German)
