If I owned Doctor Who, Amphibia, The Owl House, The Ghost & Molly McGee, My Little Pony, She-Ra & the Princesses of Power, and Miraculous Ladybug

Oh boy, this is gonna be the mother of all long posts. It's gonna sound completely insane, but isn't crazy stuff what Tumblr is for? Anyway, to make it easier to read, I'll split it into different sections for each show.

Let's start with My Little Pony:

I would reboot the show, but instead of My Little Pony Generation 6, I would make a completely new show, just with (eventually) the same characters and locations. The new show would be called "The Complete History of the Queendom of Equestria", which is a very lofty title belying the really grimdark shit this show is gonna have.

Season 1: We are introduced to the continent of Equestria on the planet Equus, where the land is divided between the Earth Confederation (comprising of Nippony, Jolangmal, and the Ma Dynasty) and the Unicorn Empire while the Pegasus Republic rules the skies.

There is no clear main character as the season mainly focuses on ancient Equestrian history, specifically the invasion of Equestria by the Ram Horde and the reluctant alliance between the three factions to repel the invasion. The season ends with Gustolomule the Great (nicknamed Gusty by close aides) committing genocide against the Rams to defeat them.

Christmas special: The Story of Hearth's Warming, broadly similar to the one in G4, except some of the leaders' names, titles, and personalities are different than the ones portrayed by the Mane 6. The United Queendom of Equestria is founded (Equestria is explicitly shown to be a matriarchal society in this show).

Valentine's Day special: The Story of Hearts and Hooves Day, broadly similar to the one in G4, but the "dragon" at the end of the story is actually Discord, and the chaos from the prince and the princess neglecting their responsibilities is what causes him to come into existence and take over Equestria.

Season 2: The show finally gets main characters in the form of two orphans — a pegasus filly named Aurora (with a red coat and orange mane) and her adoptive unicorn younger brother Artemis (with the same color scheme as Princess Luna in MLP) — surviving in the midst of Discord's chaotic reign of terror.

The season revolves around their fight to defeat him, ending with their discovery of the Elements and Tree of Harmony and ascension as Prince and High Princess of a reestablished Queendom of Equestria, as well as them becoming alicorns after using the Elements.

Season 3: The first half of this season revolves around Aurora and Artemis trying to defeat a cult of ponies who helped and worshiped Discord and are now rebelling against the new order. In the process, they get their cutie marks: Aurora can move the Sun and Artemis can move the Moon.

At some point, Aurora and Artemis go back to the Tree of Harmony and meet the Spirit of Harmony (who just calls herself Harmony), who reveals the origin of the Tree as having grown from a seed that was magically formed from the Fire of Harmony on the first Hearth's Warming (so yeah, the Pillars just straight-up don't exist here) and tells them that she infused them with magic from all the tribes as a reward for defeating Discord to enable them to unite the populace.

In one story during this season, Tirek and his brother Scorpan arrive in Equestria to steal all their magic, so Artemis does what Starswirl did in MLP but Tirek escapes to the northern tundra instead of immediately getting locked in Tartarus.

The second half of the season is just a medieval political drama where hints are dropped towards the Season 4 premiere. There will also be an episode where Artemis comes out as a transgender mare and Aurora expresses her transphobic disgust, which will also be important in the next season.

Season 4: This season starts with Princess Amore declaring the establishment of the Crystal Empire, centered around the Crystal Heart, which was hinted at during the second half of season 3. She hosts a diplomatic summit in the capital city Arcadia to establish relations with Equestria and some other neighbouring nations, but while it seems to be going well at first, they are then attacked by Tirek and Sombra.

Tirek convinced Sombra to help him destroy Equestria in return for being able to rule over the Crystal Empire and Equestria, but Sombra backstabs him and sends him to Tartarus knowing full well Tirek was gonna backstab him and absorb his magic too. For the rest of the season, Sombra rapidly grows in power and invades Equestria from the north, similar to the Ram Horde thousands of years ago.

Meanwhile, Artemis and Aurora slowly grow colder and more professional in their interactions with each other. In the season finale, Sombra creates an evil spirit and sends it to possess Artemis during the heat of battle, but this isn't revealed until the next season.

Afterward, Artemis and Aurora defeat Sombra and do what Celestia and Luna did to him in MLP, ending the season. With the capital stuck in magical limbo and both of its former monarchs dead or otherwise incapacitated, the rest of the Crystal Empire falls into ruin, with refugees flooding into Equestria en masse.

Season 5: Some time after defeating Sombra, Aurora and Artemis have a big falling-out over Artemis' gender in the first episode, which Aurora tries to solve like a temper tantrum by simply putting Artemis in time-out like when they were little. However, Artemis goes missing afterwards, which Aurora dismisses in favor of governing Equestria.

After some weeks, a cult called the "Children of the Moon" start terrorizing Equestria led by the mysterious Nightmare Moon, who eventually lures Aurora into the throne room and claims to be Artemis before attacking her. Just as Nightmare Moon is about to overpower Aurora, Artemis flies out to save her, but Aurora is unappreciative and brushes her off.

Throughout the season, Aurora tries to defeat the Children of the Moon, while Artemis disappears for weeks at a time and only appears to save her from Nightmare Moon, after which she disappears again after Aurora tries to convince her to stop identifying as a mare and calls it 'unnatural'. There are a few episodes where a Child of the Moon comes to help Nightmare Moon against Aurora, but whenever Artemis appears they strangely avoid attacking her.

Also during the season, Aurora tries to use the Elements of Harmony against Nightmare Moon, but they don't work without Artemis. Nonetheless, she tries to figure it out while taking Artemis protecting her from Nightmare Moon for granted.

In the season finale, Nightmare Moon reveals that Artemis has been a magical projection throughout the season and that she is the real Artemis. To prove it, the Artemis illusion disappears right in front of Aurora's eyes. She then monologues about how she was never good enough for Aurora and how she gave up on trying to reason with her. A notable line from that scene: "If you can't see me as your sister, I have no reason to see you as mine!"

While they battle each other the same way as Nightmare Moon and Celestia in MLP, we have Aurora regretting how she treated Artemis before using the Elements of Harmony to tearfully banish Artemis to the Moon. She then breaks down and sings "Lullaby for a Princess" (a popular fan-made song in the MLP fandom, which I wanna make canon), signifying her acceptance of Artemis as her little sister and closing off the season on a melancholy note.

Season 6: With Artemis gone, Aurora enters a deep depression, but the Children of the Moon continue to threaten her rule. On top of that, she has to deal with threats from the Dragon Tribes led by Dragonlord Torch and the Changeling Kingdom led by Queen Anthrax.

The season centers around themes of depression, grief, guilt, and attempted suicide and takes place over 960 years. Aurora changes VA at some point to show subtle signs of aging, but she discovers that the Elements of Harmony bound her life force to her sisters' so that she won't just die of old age before her sister returns.

Season 7: 970 years after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, Aurora realizes she can't handle fighting her sister a second time and so resolves to find a student to wield the Elements of Harmony to (hopefully) bring Artemis back. She discovers a 11-year-old unicorn colt named Hesperus Haze who has a lot of raw magical power.

The season is just a slice-of-life at first, but Hesperus is slowly implied more and more to have a crush on his best friend. At the end of the season, he confesses to his crush but ends up getting rejected by his entire friend group, even with his status as the princess' prized pupil.

Aurora gives him a shoulder to cry on, and asks the newly-coronated Princess of Love, Mi Amore Cadenza (nicknamed Cadence) to officially decree homosexuality to be legal and supported by the Crown. The season ends with her looking up at the moon and telling Artemis she won't make the same mistake with Hesperus.

Season 8: Hesperus changes his name to Phosphorus Flame and becomes very introverted in this season. He starts getting bullied by his former friends for being gay, causing Aurora to take him out of normal classes in the royal academy and tutor him full-time. He starts living in Canterlot Castle, leaving behind his little brother Sunburst.

Through the season, Phosphorus grows more and more discontent with the colt he sees in the mirror, and is implied to be self-harming until he eventually realizes that she is a trans mare. She goes to Aurora, who immediately becomes very protective of her and silently promises not to have her end up like Artemis.

In the season finale, Phosphorus is reading up on a famous unicorn mage and asks Aurora about seeing the mage's unfinished work she read about. While working on it, she accidentally completes the spell and makes a spell that turns a pony into their ideal self. After the light fades away, Phosphorus is ecstatic to see her new female body and dubs herself Sunset Shimmer.

Season 9: Now finally comfortable in her own skin, Sunset becomes a spoiled brat as Aurora pampers her to avoid her ending up like Artemis, which Aurora explicitly states multiple times while monologuing at the Moon.

For the first time in the show, the season is mostly wholesome slice-of-life content similar to MLP, but about halfway through the season, Sunset discovers a portal to another world in the restricted section. She slowly starts becoming more egotistical and demanding than simply a spoiled brat, and when Aurora finally puts her hoof down even just gently in the season finale, Sunset throws a tantrum and runs away to the other world.

After waiting several weeks for Sunset to return, Aurora is once again heartbroken and sobs in the garden on Sunset's 25th birthday. One of her longtime aides tells her that she should find a balance between authoritativity and acceptance, and that accepting someone for who they are doesn't mean you have to let them walk all over you.

Aurora thanks her and goes back to staring at the moon, now worrying about what to do when Nightmare Moon returns. The next morning, she has her schedule cleared so she can stay in the royal gardens to continue sulking, but then a giant dragon crashes through the roof of the royal academy and the season ends with her in shock and shouting "What?!" like David Tennant.

Season 10: Picking off immediately after the previous season, Aurora goes to check on the giant dragon. She ends up having to step into one of the strongest thaumic fields (magical energy fields) she's ever experienced to calm down a 7-year-old unicorn filly named Twilight Sparkle (the fandom will complain about me copying MLP G4, but pre-G4 versions of MLP also had ponies called Twilight Sparkle, so whatever).

The rest of the season is MLP-style slice-of-life content showing Twilight's life as Aurora's new student from age 7-12.

Season 11: This season continues in a slice-of-life format, but now focuses on Twilight's rebellious teenage years (13-19) where Aurora worries about her potentially turning out like Sunset as she constantly hangs out in Canterlot nightclubs during this period.

Twilight comes out as bisexual when she's 14 and later gets pregnant and aborts the foal when she's 16. The entire experience traumatizes her, and she throws herself into her studies to cope, eventually transforming into the adorkable bookhorse everyone knows and love from MLP by the time she's 19 years old. The season ends with Twilight's 20th birthday.

Season 12: This season is mostly a remake of a mix of MLP G4 episodes that feature Luna and MLP G4 season 1, but Rainbow Dash is already dating Soarin (who is not a Wonderbolt here) and Fluttershy already runs an animal sanctuary before Twilight arrives in Ponyville.

A lot of the content from here on out is basically just a more mature rewrite of MLP G4 which some episodes shuffled around, but this season is mostly centered on Artemis returning to Equestria after 1000 years, changing her name to Luna after being freed from the Nightmare, and adjusting to finally having a proper female body.

Throughout the season, she struggles with self-doubt and guilt, eventually leading to the season finale, which is a remake of "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?" from MLP G4. She also confronts and demobilizes remnants of the Children of the Moon, which the Sparkle family is revealed to be a part of.

Season 13: This season begins exactly one year after Twilight's arrival in Ponyville, and is focused on introducing this show's versions of MLP G4's Ponyville residents. Applejack is 26 years old, Rarity is 25 years old, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle are 24 years old, Fluttershy is 23 years old, and Pinkie Pie is 21 years old in this season.

The season premiere is a remake of "The Return of Harmony" from MLP G4, titled "The Revelation of Chaos" as a callback to the season premiere of Season 2, which was titled "The Genesis of Chaos".

The followers of Discord who were a major enemy in Season 3 are revealed to have evolved into the "Order of Discord", which Discord points out to be a very ironic contradiction before immediately poofing all the members out of existence at once. The rest of the story plays out mostly similar to "The Return of Harmony" from MLP G4.

During the season, Lyra Heartstrings and Agent Sweetie Drops (codename: Bon-Bon) are explicitly confirmed to be engaged with an episode where they get married, while Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Melody have an episode where they start dating. Aside from them, a lot of other characters also get (re)introduced, including Diamond Tiara, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Derpy Hooves, and Trixie Lulamoon (the Great and Powerful).

In a remake of "Party of One" (another episode from MLP G4), Pinkie Pie is revealed to have split personality disorder when her alternate personality, who calls herself "Pinkamena", emerges from her despair in that episode. It then leads to the next episode, where Pinkamena eventually decides to let Pinkie have control of her body back (on the condition she also gets to roam around at least once a week) after seeing how important the party pony is to Ponyville.

The season finale of this season is a major turning point in the series. It starts as a remake of "A Canterlot Wedding" from MLP G4, but instead Twilight refuses to forgive her friends for not trusting her and Cadence defeats Chrysalis by using a spell that transfers the love between her and Shining Armor to between her and Chrysalis.

With Chrysalis now in love with Cadence, the changeling invasion is halted, but a drone named Pharynx leads a mutiny in the changeling army and deposes Chrysalis as the queen of the changeling hive on the grounds of mental incapacitation. The now-King Pharynx leads a new attack on Canterlot, but they are defeated and flee back to the Southern Badlands.

The events of "A Wedding and A Betrayal" cause Twilight to run off and get on a train which then inexplicably explodes. Twilight is presumed dead, which nearly pushes Aurora to suicide, with only Luna being able to stop her. The season ends with Twilight's funeral, with a mysterious figure watching in the shadows.

Season 14: In the season premiere, the Mane 5 and the Royal Sisters struggle to cope with Twilight's death while Arcadia returns along with Sombra. A mysterious and powerful unicorn mage simply calling herself 'Midnight' arrives and offers her help, so Aurora accepts it since she obviously can't send Twilight to help Cadence and Chrysalis defend their new kingdom.

Upon reaching Arcadia, Midnight is clearly hostile and untrusting towards Chrysalis due to the changeling invasion of Canterlot. Afterwards, the episode proceeds to be a remake of "The Crystal Empire", but with Midnight showing more skill in dark magic and less inner conflict than Twilight did in MLP, thus defeating Sombra faster.

The rest of the first half of the season revolves around the Royal Sisters and Twilight's friends grieving for her while Midnight takes Twilight's place in remakes of most of MLP G4's season 3 (keyword: most; "Magical Mystery Cure" not included) including defeating Trixie's attempt at taking over Ponyville.

In the midseason finale, Midnight is revealed to have been Twilight in disguise when she crashes Cadence and Chrysalis' wedding with an illusion of King Pharynx's changeling army attacking Canterlot again. In disguise, she pretends to save Canterlot from the invasion by dispelling the illusion, after which she gives a speech painting Aurora as an incompetent ruler who has grown senile with age.

The second half of the season includes yet another suicide attempt by Aurora, as well as Midnight slowly gathering the keys to the box under the Tree of Harmony and hiding them so that the Mane 5 won't be able to defeat her with the rainbow powers in the box. In one episode, Rainbow Dash reveals that Soarin' broke up with her off-screen but they agreed to stay friends.

In the season finale, Midnight finally takes over Equestria after defeating the Royal Sisters and her former friends in a magic battle crashing the Equestria Games. Aurora then fails to commit suicide again, but this time she ends up in a coma.

Season 15: With Queen Midnight now in control of Equestria, the rest of the season centers around the Mane 5 working with Luna to find a way to defeat her and make amends with Twilight.

A subplot also happens where Rainbow Dash helps free Scootaloo from her abusive parents. Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle also come to help later on, with Sweetie (as well as Applebloom) helping to comfort Scootaloo.

At the end of this subplot, Rainbow and Fluttershy get married in order to adopt Scootaloo, then actually do fall in love later in the season (a little bit of fluff in the middle of all that angst). Sweetie Belle also starts falling in love with Scootaloo, but they only start dating after the CMC get their cutie marks.

The season finale is yet another remake of an MLP episode, this time "Twilight's Kingdom". At the end of the episode, Twilight defeats Tirek by using up all her magic to blast him back to Tartarus. With her body depleted of magic, she ends up close to death but the Mane 5 save her via hospitalization.

She apologizes to everypony, including Aurora who wakes up from her coma and turns down the offer to be restored to her position. The season ends with her moving back to Ponyville (meaning Ponyville is now Equestria's seat of power) followed by the credits showing the magical aurora from Equestria's magic being restored.

Season 16: A 43-year-old Sunset Shimmer returns from her exile in the other world after almost 20 years. She immediately retrieves a forbidden artifact from the restricted section and tracks down Sunburst, who tells her about Twilight becoming Aurora's student and then Queen of Equestria.

She then ambushes Twilight in the middle of the night at Canterlot Castle. They have a scuffle, during which she activates the artifact and switches bodies with Twilight. Now in Twilight's body, she calls the Royal Guards and has "her attacker" imprisoned.

During the season, she tries to live as Twilight, but eventually realizes Twilight's life is not the life she thinks Twilight stole from her. Meanwhile Twilight, now in Sunset's body, digs up some secrets from Sunset's past (not shown in Seasons 7-9) and redeems herself as she realizes how much she truly misses her friends and previously took them for granted while isolated from them.

Meanwhile, Luna quickly picks up that "Twilight" is not who she seems, but decides to investigate alone. Aurora, now trying to live a quiet life in Ponyville, has to contend with her fame and finds comfort in Miss Cheerilee. They start dating off-screen at some point.

In the season finale, Twilight (in Sunset's body) manages to sneak into Canterlot Castle at the same time Luna finally decides to confront Sunset (in Twilight's body).

Luna confesses that she has been in love with Twilight since the Season 12 finale (hinted at during previous seasons) which Twilight overhears, causing her to come out hiding.

They have a magic battle in the throne room, and this time Sunset gets overpowered by Luna and Twilight, allowing Twilight to switch their bodies back. After that, Sunset surrenders and decides to go back to her daughter in the other world. Twilight and Luna then have a heart-to-heart, after which they kiss.

The season ends with Twilight reuniting with her friends, who update her on everything that's been going on with them (Rarity and Applejack had an episode where they started dating, plus other Mane 6 adventures in this season) after Twilight and Luna announce that they're dating now.

Season 17: This season takes place 2 years after the end of season 16. Applejack is now 30, Rarity is now 29, Rainbow Dash and Twilight are now 28, Fluttershy is now 27, and Pinkie is now 25. (So basically the last 4 seasons took place over the course of 2 years and this season takes place 4 years after Season 13)

In the season premiere, the spirit of Nightmare Moon is revealed to have not been completely destroyed by the Elements of Harmony in the Season 12 premiere, instead having spent 5 years siphoning magic from the Everfree Forest and the moon. She attempts to magically form her own body, but accidentally absorbs the spirit of a recently-deceased orphan colt into the spell, causing the body to be a filly that looks like her, but with the colt in control of it.

The body-creation spell generates a massive pulse of energy, so the Mane 6 go to the ruin of the Castle of the Royal Sisters (retroactively renamed) to investigate. They discover the filly that looks like Nightmare Moon, and are understandably cautious upon encountering him. Rainbow Dash tries to surprise-attack the filly, but Fluttershy stops her with a kiss that gets her flustered.

After some shenanigans, the Mane 6 bring the colt back to the Golden Oak Library, where he tries to adjust to his new female body. Luna comes as soon as she gets the letter informing her about the filly, and then casually decides to propose to Twilight that they get married and adopt the filly.

After freaking out, Twilight agrees and starts the paperwork for the filly's technically-birth to be recorded. After some discussion, they agree to name her Moonlight Sparkle, since Luna doesn't have a last name due to being an orphan.

The rest of the season centers around Moonlight's struggle against bullying and rejection from ponies who see her as Nightmare Moon, which is easier to deal with after the CMC expose Diamond Tiara's mother for child abuse and help Diamond become a better pony, in the process helping her find the meaning of her cutie mark and getting their cutie marks.

In one episode, Moonlight and Luna enter Pinkie's dreamscape together and Moonlight accidentally separates Pinkamena and Pinkie into two separate bodies, prompting Pinkamena to shorten her name to Mena and go back to the Pie family farm.

In another episode, the Mane 6 meet Starlight Glimmer, who in this show isn't a megalomaniacal manipulator stealing ponies' cutie marks, but legitimately leading a community centered around an artifact that stores ponies' magic to be shared among everypony in the community (implied to have been created during the war against King Sombra back in Season 4). Trixie also makes an appearance in this episode, having become a more humble mare and married Starlight.

The season finale is a remake of "To Where and Back Again" (again, from MLP G4), but with Moonlight instead of Starlight, Pharynx instead of Chrysalis, and Trixie just visiting instead of having long-term residence in Ponyville. Thorax is introduced in a remake of "The Times They Are a Changeling", but with "A Changeling Can Change" rewritten into a pretty ok rock song instead of whatever they were trying to do in MLP.

Season 18: This season features yet another timeskip, this time skipping ahead another 5 years to Twilight opening the School of Friendship. Instead of herself and her friends who have their own jobs already, Twilight hires actual teachers for the school (as dictated by common sense).

The events of "School Daze" don't happen because Twilight already reformed the EEA off-screen (along with many other reforms) during Season 15, and also because she makes an actual curriculum for the school.

This season is the first in the show to truly not have any conflict whatsoever, with Cozy Glow only being introduced in the season premiere of the next season. Without any action, this season becomes pure slice-of-life content, introducing the Young 5: Yona the Yak, Gallus the Gryphon, Sandbar the Earth Pony, Smolder the Dragon, and Ocellus the Changeling. (Hippogriffs don't exist here, and neither does the Storm King, or anything from the G4 movie)

The main story arc of the season is just a couple of budding romances: Sandbar with Gallus, Smolder with Ocellus. Yona is canonically aroace here, so she's just being wholesome and happy for her friends while fifth-wheeling them.

Season 19: The season premiere introduces Cozy Glow, who manipulates her way through the School of Friendship before then trying to drain all the magic from Equestria just like in MLP, but all in two episodes instead of a story arc like in MLP.

When the plan fails thanks to the Young 5's intervention, before she gets captured she gets teleported away to a cave where Pharynx has resurrected Sombra and freed Tirek from Tartarus, planning to help all three of them defeat Twilight once and for all. Sombra of course is still too arrogant for his own good and swiftly gets himself killed the same way as he did in MLP in the very next episode.

The rest of the season is full of relationship fluff with the Mane 6 (minus Pinkie, who's confirmed to be aroace) and Princess Luna. Most remaining plot threads from previous seasons are tied up, hopefully sparking speculation that this will be the final season of the show due to the villains' story arc's correlation with season 9 of MLP.

The season finale ties up any plot threads not wrapped up during the season, and revolves around Cozy Glow, Tirek, and Pharynx's all-or-nothing attempt to destroy Equestria once and for all. They lose of course, but Cozy Glow's particularly ruthless behavior during the episode sets up the next and true final season of G6.

Season 20: The first episode starts with a flashback to before the final battle in Season 19's finale. Cozy Glow is revealed to have magically placed her conscience into a separate body, explaining her merciless behavior in that episode.

The first half of the season focuses on Cozy Glow's backstory, told via flashbacks by her conscience, who takes the name "Dizzy" based on Cozy's middle name which is revealed to be "Dizanna". In the flashbacks, Cozy is revealed to have grown up under a racist unicorn called Lord Spector, who believes pegasi to be an inferior race.

During the first half of the season, Dizzy tries to escape from Ponyville to avoid the Mane 6 punishing her for Cozy's crimes. Unfortunately, she is captured during the midseason finale, but then Lord Spector attacks Equestria using his private army. Twilight searches the Royal Archives to find out who Spector is, but he seems to be ancient beyond recorded history.

In the second half of the season, Equestria fights its first civil war in a long time, made harder by Lord Spector's racist propaganda turning the three pony races against each other. The season ends with Twilight in a bleak situation, with Equestria falling apart and their allies being divided on whether to stay and help or close their borders with Equestria to avoid the war spilling over.

Movie: Functioning as a bittersweet happy-ending epilogue, the movie is a remake of the MLP G5 movie, but with heavier implication of romantic feelings between Sunny Starscout and Izzy Moonbow.

Alright, now that I'm done with My Little Pony, let's move on to Miraculous Ladybug (thankfully, my plan for this one doesn't have as many seasons as my plan for My Little Pony):

Season 1: This season is largely dedicated to reintroducing all the characters from the original series. Marinette becomes Ladybug, Adrien becomes Chat Noir, basically the same origin story as the original show but it's the premiere instead of the finale. The other difference here is that some episodes don't have akumas and are fully slice-of-life episodes dedicated to exploring and developing characters.

In this season, it is established that Juleka and Rose have been dating for a while. Marc and Nathaniel meet each other during the season and eventually start dating in a later season. Also, Lila is already at Marinette's school from the beginning, Alya has been Marinette's friend for as long as Nino, and Nino is already dating Alya.

Not much plot happens in this season, it's mostly character-centered. Chloe's a jerk as usual, but here Lila is her number-two who's actually more ruthless than the main bully, while Sabrina has to be a servant to both of them instead of just Chloe (poor Sabrina).

Season 2: This is where the plot starts developing, but Marinette and Adrien won't be there for it because halfway through the season their identities are exposed which forces them to give up their Miraculouses. After that, Master Fu chooses Alix and Kagami as the new Ladybug and Black Cat holders, respectively.

The second half of the season explores additional powers of the Miraculous and develops the lore, as well as continuing to explore Alix and Kagami as characters. Meanwhile, Adrienette starts dating and they're in their honeymoon period and all that.

Season 3: The plot advances further. Chloe properly gets character development and becomes softer towards Marinette (and everyone in general) while Lila's mom (heavily implied to be Sunset Shimmer in human form) finds out about her atrocious behaviour and pulls her out of school.

Sabrina finally breaks free of the mean girls due to this, but she still sticks around with Chloe, just as a friend instead of a mere servant. Meanwhile, Adrien and Marinette slowly drift apart as a couple and realize they're better off as just best friends.

In one episode, Marinette makes a replica of Adrien's Chat Noir costume so he can continue being Chat Noir, which is when he feels most comfortable as himself. A joke about him being catgender is included somewhere.

Season 4: Chloe's character arc reaches its end with Chloe becoming a true hero while wielding the Bee Miraculous as Queen Bee. She starts being hinted to have a crush on Marinette, but she doesn't confess until the next season.

Meanwhile, more plot stuff happens, more character development happens, etc. etc. etc.

Season 5: Everything ends. All the plot threads and story arcs get wrapped up nice and neat, Hawkmoth is defeated, Chloe and Marinette start dating (Marinette is canonically bisexual here) and Adrien gets to go back to properly being Chat Noir (but now he does it full-time and pretty much no one except Marinette sees "Adrien Agreste" ever again).

Next, we have the recently-ended The Ghost and Molly McGee:

I don't even need to separate this one into seasons because it's basically just a remake of the original show (which only just ended) but with Libby and Molly becoming girlfriends in the season 1 finale so that Ollie is just Molly's best friend and not her boyfriend. Also, the plot gets more time to develop over 3 seasons instead of everything getting stuffed into the season 2 finale.

Now that that's out of the way, here's Doctor Who to bring everything together:

Season X: We start with the Nth Doctor, freshly regenerated, falling into ancient China while the TARDIS vanishes into somewhere in time and space à la the 13th Doctor at the beginning of series 11. They eventually find the TARDIS and start travelling with their first companion in a long time to not come from modern-day England.

This season is just standalone episodes with no story arc, but then the companion decides to leave at the end of the season after having learnt a lot of modern concepts and ideas, wanting to spread them to his own time and place.

Season (X+1): The Doctor somehow finds out that their companion is in serious danger back in his time period, and decides to save him from a gruesome death at the hands of traditionalist reactionaries who disagree with his modern ideas. However, in the process, they end up losing some advanced technology and leaving it in the time period.

As the season progresses, the Doctor is cautiously looking for any major changes to history that may have been caused by their mistake, and is relieved when there have seemingly been none. However, eventually it is revealed that the technology was reverse-engineered and developed by a family with the surname Wu, who shaped themselves and their descendants into a secret society manipulating history from the shadows to gain power.

In the season finale, the Doctor's companion sacrifices himself to save the Doctor, while a wormhole generator (shaped like a music box) powered by three gems colored pink, blue, and green is tossed through one of its own portals before the Clan of Wu can establish their power on another planet while their influence on Earth is slowly crumbling.

Season (X+2): The Doctor continues travelling to different planets, but now almost every planet they go to is being invaded by robots shaped like anthropomorphic frogs. They manage to stop the invasions, until the season finale where the newt king that commands the robots meets them via video call as a distraction while the robots surround them and just shoot instead of letting them come up with a plan.

As the Doctor begins to regenerate, they set the TARDIS to scan the portal the robots come from, and to go to the space-time coordinates on the other side. The season ends with them regenerating on the floor like in Classic Who.

Meanwhile, Amphibia returns with a special where Anne, Sasha, and Marcy are contacted by the Guardian, who asks them to go back to Amphibia to figure out some way to defeat evil versions of themselves from an alternate universe. Before that though, Sasha and Marcy reveal to Anne that they're dating now, which is a little awkward since Anne also used to date Sasha back in high school before going back to just being friends.

After they return to Amphibia, they encounter some old friends and fight off wildlife before their journey suddenly gets interrupted by a crash in the woods. They go to the crash site, where a blue police box has crash-landed, with smoke coming out of its open doors. Suddenly, a girl who looks like Marcy (but 10 years ago when she first came to Amphibia) climbs out of the box wearing clothes that are way too big for her.

Instead of an Amphibia-style credit sequence, the credits are a Doctor Who credit sequence, because this Amphibia special segues directly back to Doctor Who:

Season (X+3): The (N+1)th Doctor wakes up and behaves erratically due to being freshly-regenerated. Immediately, she's shown to have a much grouchier personality than Marcy ever had, but she ends up having an "I am the Doctor" moment when she saves Anne, Sasha, and Marcy from their evil counterparts somehow.

This season is 30 episodes long, broadcast Classic Who-style in 3 10-episode serials titled "Heart", "Strength", and "Wit" in that order. Each serial has it's own story about Anne, Sasha, and Marcy in that order (in addition to every episode's individual plot), but only Marcy's story ties into the season's overall story arc.

As it turns out, the evil versions of Anne and Sasha are being mind-controlled by the evil version of Marcy, who is from a universe where a part of the Clan of Wu was able to arrive in Amphibia and establish themselves as the benefactors of the Newtopian monarchy by giving them access to interplanetary travel (in the original universe, the newts just found the box and figured out what to do with it via trial and error) while some of them remained on Earth and eventually Marcy was descended from them.

In the evil trio's universe, the Core still exists and consists of not just ancient newts but also Marcy's ancient ancestors. 10 years ago in that universe, Marcy found out about her ancestors' past glory and got insecure about her own relative insignificance. This led to her going down a spiral that resulted in her willingly becoming the Core's host to surround herself with ancient knowledge. In the simulated world of the Core, she also has Anne and Sasha as her consorts, a revelation which makes Anne and Sasha blush.

In the season finale, the Core is about to win when the original universe's Marcy finally manages to finish therapizing her alternate self via psychic link (courtesy of the Doctor), causing Evil Marcy to try and take back control of her body. When that fails, she figures out some way to delete the entire Core, sacrificing herself to save the multiverse from the Core.

Her last words echo Original Marcy's last words in Amphibia's season 2 finale: "I'm sorry... for everything."

After all that, the Doctor brings Anne, Sasha, and Marcy back to Wartwood and they go their separate ways, but not before the Doctor gives them a parting gift: an actually-stable portal between Earth and Amphibia so they can go back and forth between the worlds.

After this, Amphibia gets a continuation titled "Amphibia, Vol. 2" while Doctor Who continues with the (N+1)th Doctor.

Season (X+4): This season lacks a story arc, and doesn't set up any future story arcs. All the episodes are standalone stories that try to slowly fix inconsistencies and plot holes in Doctor Who lore one by one, and all the while the Doctor proceeds to travel with various characters from The Owl House, who are now in their 20s.

For the first few episodes, the Doctor travels with Luz and Amity, before dropping the happy couple back home and picking up Camila, travelling with her for a few more episodes before bringing her home and picking up Hunter and Gus for the rest of the season. After sending them back home in the final episode, the Doctor continues travelling.

Meanwhile, The Owl House has several spin-offs of the original show instead of getting a reboot:

A spin-off recounting Vee's time posing as Luz and later Camila

A spin-off expanding on the Wittebane brothers' story

A spin-off expanding on Eda's teenage years along with the other adult witches on The Owl House

A spin-off of the Collector's adventures in space, which is somewhat a parody of Doctor Who

A continuation of the original show, set during and after the same time as Doctor Who season (X+4)

Back in Doctor Who, the (N+1)th Doctor embarks on her final season:

Season (X+5): The Doctor meets Bow, Glimmer, Catra, and Adora. They then start travelling together, and the season's story arc somehow brings together She-ra & the Princesses of Power lore and Doctor Who lore. They save the universe, then Bow and Glimmer leave at the end of the season while Catra and Adora stay and get even more character development in the next season.

The (N+1)th Doctor then regenerates in the Christmas special and continues travelling with Catra and Adora.

Season (X+6): The (N+2)th Doctor debuts with the face of Libby, from The Ghost & Molly McGee, and a dynamic 11th Doctor-type personality. After one more story arc and more character development, the Doctor says goodbye to Catra and Adora.

Season (X+7) & (X+8): The Doctor travels with Molly and Libby after the finale of The Ghost & Molly McGee. A story arc happens over these two seasons, then she regenerates and Doctor Who goes back to live-action.

Season Y: Some years after season (X+7), the Pth Doctor regenerates into an equine form resembling Twilight Sparkle, and crashes into Sunny Starscout's lighthouse at the end of the movie. This season continues immediately after that, with the (P+1)th Doctor helping Sunny and her friends stop the Equestrian Civil War and prevent the three pony tribes from splitting apart after season 20.

Zipp and Pipp die at a certain point in the season, followed by Hitch later on, then Izzy and Sunny in the penultimate episode, right after confessing their love to each other. In the finale, the Doctor manages to save Equestria, then goes back to the future to see Sunny living happily with her friends and marefriend in the new timeline.

The season ends with the TARDIS dematerialising off-camera, followed by Sunny looking puzzled in the direction of the strange noise, before then brushing it off and going on with her life. The (P+1)th Doctor then regenerates in the Christmas special and Doctor Who reverts to live-action for good.
