Or Tone And Call It A Screenplay - Tumblr Posts
YES YOU MAY INDEED :D
okay, so let me preface by saying that this takes place a little while back in the sams timeline, as in solar is still alive in his old body, ruin never destroyed those universes, and nexus is still just new moon (but also dazzle has her new body? ...it makes sense in the story i swear) .
so what if one day, there was ...some virus? just some terrible disease that makes every human is their universe into a destructive, unfeeling force? they just want to tear everything and anything apart, and when they get ahold of other humans they turn them?
aka, zombie apocalypse au.
basically, i started thinking about how neat that would be, and then i though about how to incorporate all he stuff currently happening in the show into it in a different way so it fits-
and now im writing a screenplay T^T
its only about 15 pages right now but i have so many plans and ideas for it im going crazy trying to get it all written down.
so far (without spoiling too too much) my plans are to have sun and moon be the main focus to introduce like, what all has happened off screen between the actual episodes and when this all takes place, and then at the end of each section/chapter/whatever you wanna call it (i know its not a book but chapters feels better to say than episodes to me right now T-T) there will be a little section where a couple unspecified characters have a few lines before not being shown till a few chapters later where they'll get revealed, and then they'll be part of the main cast for the rest of it. and, if you pay really close attention, you can tell who they are from the way they talk, their voice, etc.
since i posted the first part already on a03 i think im fine with talking about some of the backstory that i kind of already give some information on in there.
there's this virus going around and it's raising a bit of concern but no one really gets exactly how big of a problem it is. then one day there's a huge surge in people getting it and while the celestial family are all just going about their day at the daycare, taking care of the kids, etc, people just start running in freaked out and screaming and grabbing their kids before just bolting out the door. next thing you know, the main cast is fending off hoards of zombie-esc people, and trying to protect the kids. things go terribly wrong, they end up not being able to save anyone, and now they're almost all separated cause of the chaos and off on their own. basic plot of the screenplay is to see everything after that with a few flashbacks here and there because what is a tsbs story without mass amounts of trauma? (and maybe the fam reuniting in some cases)
sun is gonna be going though it, moon too, but man...sun is just not having a good time. i mean, he's still never getting over july 16th in the show, imaging if he feels like he's failed at protecting all of the kids. that is some prime angst right there, and i love it.
im having such fun with the designs too! since they're not able to just go wherever they want, they're pretty limited on resources. that leaves them to keeping as much of what they have as possible. including battery! which is where their outfits come in. i would think that their temperature regulation would be using a decent amount of charge, so they'd probably just turn it off to save power and wear a jacket/coat and some boots instead.
also, i was thinking about what kind of back-up they'd have for power in case of the recharge stations not being accessible, and i was like 'why not solar panels?'. 3 hours and a lot of knowledge about different kinds of solar panels and batteries and car parts later, i had a cool few sentences about them charging in that way.
when it comes to when they're avoiding all the infected, the whole point is that, while they might not be human, they're also not indestructible. people aren't just going for other people in this au, they want destruction and chaos. they don't care that the celestials aren't human, they want to rip them apart anyways!
i wont give away everyone that's gonna be in it, because i feel like that'll be fun to find out as it progresses, but i will say earth and lunar are in it, and solar is one of my absolute favourites so not having him at all would've been a crime.
anyways if anyone wants more about this i am so so glad to spend all day talking about it i would be happy to answer most anything :D i love them so much i wanna just keep typing about them all and drawing all day long.
