if one piece were a sitcom sanuso would be the most gut-wrenching, painful slow burn ever

#sometimes i think about sanuso being kind of like chandler and monica but nobody wants to hear me talking abt this for hours #except that they would need more seasons to get together and a lot of more angst #typical will-they-won't-they behavior but at first they're just best friends #sanji kind of like having a new girl every episode bc let's be honest he could flirt in a sitcom #and getting heartbroken every time #and usopp is always there #and the humor of this show is kind of like community where it's supposed to be a normal show but the characters are too chaotic #one piece #sanji #usopp #sanuso

MASH and Red Dwarf are sitcom opposites but also the same due to the fact that while both of them are comedies taking place in the midst of tragedy MASH is funnier without the laugh track whereas without the laugh track Red Dwarf becomes a bottomless black hole of existential loneliness and dread

#mash #red dwarf #i think its because 1.#mash happens on a base full of people whereas the crew of red dwarf are extremely isolated #and 2.#in mash theyre making the best of a situation that we know will eventually end #whereas in red dwarf they are actively trying to end their situation and get home and we know they never will #but anyways funney sitcom haha #special thanks to the one season of red dwarf without a laugh track for showing us why its a good thing they usually have one

I want season 3 to be two separate plots, one is the crew having their action adventure, and the other is just stede and ed figuring out how to run the inn sitcom style (bc jenkins said they would be horrible at it). The plots are completely unrelated until the very end when the bad guy ends up staying at the inn and the crew tracks him down and they all work together to take out the bad guy

#just scenes of the crew in life or death situations #then cut to stede and ed bickering over the best way to fold towels #the crew escaping from the english #cut to ed and stede having trouble with an obnoxious customer #the crew after a successful raid: i wonder what stede and ed are up to #cut to ed and stede arguing about whose turn it was to clean one of the rooms #ed and stede holding hands peacefully watching the sunset: i wonder what the crew is up to #cut to the crew in an intense battle with lots of screaming #i just want a sitcom about blackbonnet being so bad at running an inn but slowly learning and getting better #ofmd #ofmd s2 #our flag means death #blackbonnet #gentlebeard #ofmd s2 spoilers

trying harder to pay attention to yellows dialogue so i can write him better and. literally. love that thing he does where he talks like hes in a sitcom

( “What do you think it means to have a job?” / ”Yeah, what an adventure. Yup,we really did have the laugh of our lives. But still, nice to be back at home,eh?”/ “Let’s go see this real family in action!” )

#like it feels like lines from an 80s sitcom or smth #it reminds me that hes the one whos the most equipped socially out of the group and that a lot of that comes from what SOUND like #rehearsed lines that are just echos from what he hears from someone else #like the best example of that is the job episode #where hes able to mesh in the best among other people because he just repeats jokes and phrases #same thing happens in the family episode lol #and its like thats all well and good for how he initially comes off to people but i think if anyone were to stick around him long enough #theyd get annoyed either with that or him #i think we really see that with how warren gets around his brain friends #theyre very polite at first then he quickly gets so frustrated he starts yelling at them #but i do like how he seems the most socially competent but its clearly like. in a very surface level way #as opposed to duck who actively pushes new people away with his abrasiveness and red who does it accidentally lol #my dhmis postings #ANYWAYS HES GOT VERY FAMILY TV SHOW LINES AND I LOVE IT

OK fuck it new ship its Thylkius its Thor, Sylvie, Loki, and Mobius its the worst possible outcome for the entire fandom and only fun for me. It's problematic in all the ways and nobody wins except me who thinks it's absolutely hilarious.

#this is only half a joke #they are a big qpr.#they all live in one big house and hang out #i think this is the best possible outcome for maximum sitcom style antics #worst possible outcome if your concerned about the morality of fictional characters #which i UNDERSTAND #but... idk my own entertainment comes first with my blorbos #/hj of course #goat talk #loki series #marvel headcanons #theyre all just chillin like roommates #except Mobius can get it sloppy style from any of the rest of them thats just how it is i dont make the rules

when i get drunk in la i spend an hour pitching a wolf 359 tv show to any tv development executive in the area

#i did seriously pitch it to a company i was interning with but i fucked up because i told them to start at the beginning #and not at episode 9 like they probably should have #no matter. it WILL happen #hell if i land this development assistant job i’m circling i’m going to fucking MAKE it happen #it would make a great sitcom that slowly turns into a thriller #i just can’t decide if it’s a half hour or an hour long format #but just know this my dear tumblr fans. i will make this show happen by hook or by crook #i did chat with gabriel urbina on twitter at one point about the possibility of it #and he’s fuckin down so that’s not a limit. he just isn’t pushing it to studios he’s like if they want it they can come to me #well i’ll just have to make sure that happens then. because out of all the audio dramas i’ve listened to w359 would adapt the best imo #and i need to see zach valenti playing douglas eiffel please please please #literally keep the actors in their roles except for hilbert obv. they’re physically perfect no need to change them #but mark my words tumblr #it’s going to take some time but we WILL have a show

While I'm on the subject of plotting and Doctor Who, you know who was great at plot? Steven Moffat. The man is the master of the well-constructed plot, the shorter the story, the better. A multi-series show can go off the rails as he trails off in a million different directions. A full series of a show can have its rough patches and wind up unbalanced. But an individual episode? A masterpiece you could use to teach writing courses. A 4-8 minute minisode? One of the most beautifully constructed gems you've ever seen in your life. His plots are full of intricate internal logic and drawn from character and can highlight some of the loveliest themes because they're built on such a strong framework.

I think a big reason he's so good at plot is that he's a comedy writer. Comedy is nothing but set-up and payoff. Set up a situation. Pay it off in a surprising way. And the link between those two is character. If you set up that Character A has a certain personality trait, then when they encounter a new situation, you have them act according to that personality trait, and all sorts of funny things can result. The payoff makes sense because it was set up. That's also the gift of the running gag. If you mention something in the early part of the story, you can pass over it as useless information. Or as a minor joke that's over now. But at the end of the story, that seemingly minor piece can come back and resolve the whole thing, and it works because it was set up.

A great example of joke-turned-plot is "The Girl in the Fireplace." Plot: A spaceship is linked via a portal in time to 1700s France. The Doctor wanders back and forth between the past and the future. Later on, we see that a horse from the past has also wandered through the portal, and is now on the spaceship. Haha, silly gag, horse on a spaceship, good joke. But later, the portal closes, and the Doctor's trapped on the spaceship while people in the past are going to die. If only he had something large enough to break through. Surprise! He bursts through the barrier on a horse! The same horse from the gag! The joke was the setup for a plot payoff! And there's tons of that kind of thing in his work, plot hidden in jokes and jokes secretly building plot, and lots of plots that aren't about the jokes but always follow that rule of set-up and payoff.

There's just something so satisfying about a puzzle whose pieces all fit together. About a story that's well balanced. Character's great--and he's great at them--but there's something extra special about seeing them in a masterfully constructed plot. And it's been a long time since I've come across a plot that was as satisfying as his could be.

#other other random thought of the day #adventures in writing #steven moffat #this is actually two random thoughts of the day put together #i was going to do a separate post about how sitcoms teach you plot because of set up and payoff #but it wound up weaving in here #but i'll mention in the tags since this also sparked those thoughts #that corner gas has beautifully constructed plots #absurd ones? yes #but built on character and relying on those wonderful setups and payoffs #sitcoms are plot built from character and they're ideal for a really well-constructed plot #they don't have to worry about maintaining a sense of gravitas or drama #you can just take the absurdity to its logical conclusion #which means you can get absurd farce built on air-tight logic #and you rarely get that in drama #also?#other moffat thing that sparked this post?#those series 6 minisodes are divine #two in particular #that one where he talks to amy about changing the past may be the best thing he's ever written #and the day of the doctor minisode?#i have gone on at length about its layers and i could go on longer #it condenses the usual companion intro into two minutes #two!#establishes a character and makes total sense #*while* layering in dialogue that both works in context *and* winks at all the audience expectations around the airing of the minisode #'i'm a doctor. but probably not the one you were expecting'#that is GENIUS right there people!#anyhow we got tag limits now so i'll stop

it’s truly wild how much sway a finale has in making or breaking a show’s legacy and the way it’s talked about FOREVER. i’ve never seen a single episode of how i met your mother i exclusively know it as the show with the really bad ending that pissed everyone off…same with got…maybe sometimes the unexpected twist ending…is worse

#feeling like succession will be remembered forever as one of the all time great prestige dramas #…and ted lasso will be mostly forgotten about #i remember really truly loving the b99 finale but s8’s offness means i haven’t rewatched it since it aired which is genuinely wild #shut up sian #i get that final seasons and especially finales must be pretty hard to write #i am a community s6 warrior and even i’ll admit it’s rough at times but by no means bad or not worth watching #i guess succ is not the best example when talking about a bunch of sitcoms #parks has a truly great final season though #idk what my point is except that i think tl s3 made the show completely lose any interest in watching or thinking about it again #which is…not good!

I think blue & golds matching Halloween costumes are like planned out over a year starting the day after last Halloween and executed to perfection with custom made props

and with fire & ice, a couple weeks before Halloween bea says some shit like “I should be a slutty traffic cone.” And tora goes “omg I would be such a good crossing guard”

#talk tag #guy just picks a different slasher every year and spends the whole night trying to jumpscare people #Scott and barda are Gomez and morticia every year #Jonn doesn’t really do much for Halloween except give out candy #but one year he came to the jli party as the jolly green giant to wild cheers #dmitri dresses up as someone from whatever sitcom he likes best that year #you can’t usually tell who he is but he’s having fun

also i wouldn’t be able to at all easily find a previous reblog of this pic but

certainly knowing that rick moranis had seen bmc clearly and timingwise it was like, okay probably one of the later shows, but learning via joe iconis carrie the musical interview that went on a lsoh tangent that it was a Surprise Visit on the Closing Performance actually apparently, which is news to me

#bmc #will roland #joe iconis #also only just now properly absorbing like wow similar glasses. wow many similar things actually lol #will roland struggling to graciously accept that he isn't getting his In Over His Head New Young Dad role once again #b/c it's Rick Moranis Is Your Father casting time now lol....#surprise Factoids towards the end of the podcast interview lol like oh hey i sure remember that pic #didn't know it was a Last Show Surprise #don't think i learned too much otherwise (listened to that whole podcast series abt carrie the musical already; for one)#like there were def some fun facts in there.#said if he could get his hands on adapting any sking property it'd be IT the (unwieldy) musical. but i think he's said that before #at least on twitter lol...parentheticals are my own. said it'd have to be 6 hrs & egregiously expensive b/c of that + child actors #can't argue with that or that it'd be the best Theatrical Candidate. endlessly fascinating how it shook out like hey whoa...#stephe has characters? stumbled into [adults who are friends] b/c [reasons that'd take up 5 tags]?#stumbled into [story that doesn't have a ''was that fucked up or what? plus everyone's dead'' ending] b/c [reasons that'd take up 5 tags]?#it's more likely than you think; dad! More Likely Than You Think!#there's a real sitcom dad sort of role for you. pov character post the events of the jaunt #comically struggling to raise your Beyond Eternal son who's also technically just [exactly the age he was 5 nanosec ago. plus the 5 nsec]#parents today don't know what it's like for your consciousness to be separated from any reference point or semblence of reality #and to exist in that state for what is Longer Than You Think and which you already think is like experiencing eternity #and yet also have an ending so as to be jaunted out the other side as your ancient being in your whatever teen son's body going ballistic #the jaunt son's first day of senior year and larry murphy is like what? he doesn't listen #ever since our son was unfathomably extricated from any realm of the human experience for an incomprehensibly infinite span of time....#well; we all needed it for something. this au / riff is really getting out of hand lmfao #not as though i didn't report how [cujo discussion where the marriage improves in the end at least over shared grief] immediately kicked my #brain into Oh No Lmao.

Modern verse Rera is a kindergarten teacher with dreams of owning a big van and fucking off on camping trips where it's just her, her Samoyed, some novelty bobblehead and her 80s playlist in the background.

#➤ ooc┊ ❛ exit; pursued by a bear ❜#she lives in an apartment with her ex-husband/close friend and their shared best friend #her life is a bad sitcom can you blame her for wanting to go anywhere and everywhere else #each one of rera's verses gives her a ridiculous living situation because i want her to suffer but only in stupid ways #in her boruto verse she's married but no one knows who she's married to and she has a kid who's her clone so no one will ever know
