My Thoughs (that no one asked) For A Victorius Revival

So, I watched the 8 yours Victorius video, and now I cannot stop thinking about how I would do a revival. But none of my friends are even remotly interrested in Victorius, so here I am. Probably no one will read it anyway but at least I will be able to take this out of my cheast. Introducions made, let's go:

Where are they now?

I thoug a lot about how the best way to organize my ideias and the order of presentation and I decided that the best way to do it, was to do a quick run over on the characters and try to present what would be their personal quest/theme in a possible season 1.

Tori Vega: After the realize of her first album Tori quickly grew to stardon, but that didn't last much. She was considered to dificult to work with and entered in a bunch of controversies, including being acused more than once of plagiarism. The last straw was her being weirdly preach and low key racist to a girl if a hijab (the whole "you don't need to wear it" bs) during a show.

After that keeping her carear was just not viable annymore. And in the last fifteen years she have been working as a barista and wishing for the famous life she was promised as a teen.

During the season she would try to recover her image and actually improve as a person only to realise that the fact she is better doesn't mean people will forgive her and that is okay. That she doesn't have to be the star everyone though she would, that she is happy to just have her old friends back and to be improving as a person and living the in present instead of in the past. She would also develop a relationship with Jade (where everyone thinks they are figthing for Beck but the are finally processing the feelings they had for each other as adults).

Jade West: As expected, Jade is talented and made her cinema deboot soon after graduation catching the eyes of horror fans and indie movie enthusiasts. She was a huge promise and did delivered two very good movies. The problem was ... well that she was unsufferable to work wich. And for a movie director... well... that is a problem. Soon she started reciving denunces about how awfull it was her workplace enviroment and she was attacked on social media, besides no actor wanted to work with her anymore. Her movies started losing budget, audience interest and she declined quickly. Her last twelve years were spend doing small roles in theather productions and wishing for a second chance in Hollywood.

During the season she would learn to open herself to her friend circle and with that recognize that she need help to deal with her daddy insues and learning how to manage her people skills. This soul searching would be what leads her to recognize her feelings for Tori and to act on it.

Beck Oliver: Just as Jade and Tori, Beck started great working in modeling and making his path into the public eye until finally becaming an actor. He had a huge fanbase, being the romantic partner in romcons, the tradicinal hero and all that not inovative pappers. It annoyed him, but he belived he could grow over it. Just months before the pilot he had recived the chance of changing his career and expanding to more than the "pretty boy" BUT he was cancelled on twitter for his transphobic coments and a different actor got the job. Now in the brick of losing everything as a consequence for his actions (and cancel culture) he is desperate for a big comeback/apollogy moment.

During the season Beck would have three arcs: firstly starting to really regret his past actions and not only the fallout and trying to open his mind, deal with his toxic masculinity and improve as a person, second deal with his own internalize image of himself as nothing more than a pretty face and try to discover himself beyong being pretty and thrid deal with his internal belief that he would somehow end up with Tori or Jade by the end and learning to be only their friend.

Robbie Shapiro: Robbie became internet famous by posting his comedy songs on youtube - his early work being vastly compared to Bo Burnham early work - and showing an incredible balance in being funny and genuine while making general good songs. This is until people found his older videos and his Rex stuff. He was cancelled and his weird excuse that it wasn't him but Rex just made things worse, with drama channels and youtube conspiracy theorists alike jumping on it. He lost a deal with Netflix and his channel died not much after.

After that Robbie went from job to job never quite finding a place to fit in. In the present he has work for almost nine years in a series of unstable jobs and wants to somehow be truly able to let Rex behind and restart his youtube channel.

Yeah. Robbie arc is admiting that he is reponsable for Rex bs, dealing if this side of himself (in a way that still let's a bit ambiguous if he was alive or not) and being finally able to raise above if. Finally becoming a better person, actually loving himself and letting once and for all Rex go. He also will have an small arc discovering his own bissexuality and dating Berth, I don't know what I would do for his end paring yet though.

Andre Harris: So the catch with Andre is that he goes into a very different direction the the other friends till here. You must have realized at this point that all of them have as a theme the process of growing up and learning to be a good person. This is actually related to the plot. But Andre is different. After Hollywood Arts, Andre went to college to study music theory and in there he would finally be able to discover himself (with help from his new college friends) growing pass his need to please others to develop a real personality. Becaming more sardonic and down to earth but still friendly and laid back. He isn't high school Andre annymore.

After college Andre would become a quite famous music producer creating a bunch of hit songs and working with varius famous musicians but still unable to start his own music career being too critic with himself and thinking that he's albun isn't ready yet.

While Andre professional arc would be to overcome his perfectionism to be able to realise his album, his story in the friendgroup would be of someone who still loves very much his high school friends but isn't the guy they knew anymore and it's unsure of how the new him fits in the group. He would also have at least one episode about the loss of his grandma.

Cat Valentine: I know that you were wating this moment. Well Cat started a little bit late compared to her friends, her adventures with Sam and all. But she actually is the one with the best carrer she uploaded her songs and covers to youtube and started growing to stardown. She is starting to deal with the fame, especially when her brother is a supervilan.

As Ariana Grande is a bit too expansive to be on pay-row for all episodes Cat is mostly busy working on her recent album or visiting Sam (it would be a great way to actually give Sam an update even without Jeannete, only by Cat crazy stories and would make the revival still share an universe with ICarly allowing for a revival crossover) but she would still appear in important episodes. Her arc would be her dealing with her fame - as she is well Cat - and with the fact that her brother is a supervillain (yeah I'm trying to unite the NSU don't judge), and if possible not being infantalized annymore cause JESUS CHRIST.

Trina Vega: Trina is actually well. She stopped keeping contact with her familly until she and Tori reunited in the pilot and for Tori surprise she is a well paid stunt actress and has a loyal following with her Tik Tok videos where she gives tips about stunt acting, talks about overcaming an abusive family and just does some funny videos. She is married and with two kids that she loves very much and she is just happy. Her arc it's trying to rekindle her broken relashionship with Tori.

Sinjin Van Cleef (and Berth DeFect): He is also fine. He started making sucess with his kindda shitposty youtube channel, where he collaborates with Berth. His weird but genuine and fun content and his pashion for his weirdness (and the empty slot left by the end of ICarly) helped. In the years that passed his content and comedy evolved with his and Berth 's channel growing and becaming something quite unique. They started making short animations and their absurdist humor actually gave than the chance of making their own cartoons for Netflix. They still have the channel and now besides their short weird videos and "normal" vlogs/reacts, they mostly talk about the development of this new project. While everyone thinks he and Berth are a couple they are actually just very close best friends. He appears during the arc where Berf starts to date Robbie and both make apperances after that.

Erwin Sikowits: He makes some special apperances but he is just the same hippie crazy guy, the only difference is that the audience is older and so we know he does drugs. He is retired but sometimes gives special classes and he is actually one of the characthers on the happy train. On the few times he appears he shows he does still cares and thinks foundly of his old students. Also he is pan because I refuse to let the scene with Spencer be a merely homophobic joke on the writers part and not a part of his characther. Let Sikowits have a boyfriend, you cowards.

The Plot

Twenty years after the kids leaved Hollywood arts a series of werid coincidences ends up with the old gang (Tori, Jade, Cat, Beck, Robbie and Andre) all reunited. They decide that it must mean something and mark to have a nigth out for old times sake there they learn about each other missfortune and financial struggles and all of them (except Cat) decide to move to the same building and try to mimic a "content house" in a way to recover their lost fame (Andre is there as a promotion for his future debut album and because he wants to conect with his friends) and overcame their cancel status.
