This idea was fun.
Two separate stories taking place nine years apart, with similar structure and themes.
The tagline on the box of the game would be "HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF" or some shit.
Both are shorter than usual because, you know, there are two at once.
Fifteen television shows because why not?
The story was originally started as just the Everything portion (called something else, naturally [not saying what that is because i am totally going to reuse the title for the one set in 2017]), but I soon had this idea that I really liked.
edit: I did not use that name for the 2017 one, which ended up being One of Those Things. Anyway, the joke is lost so I will just come out and say it was literally called Something Else.
The other idea to use the "Anything and Everything" name was like a Pokémon Red/Blue deal, but whatever. That would have just been silly.
So, basically, after saying that, despite not having arbitrary restrictions, I couldn't write The Next Big Thing for shit for years, I decided to give myself more arbitrary restrictions.
I am a genius.
Both stories were written alongside eachother, aside from the first few missions (before I had the concept), and the last 22 (the endings).
Mission 022 of Anything was originally going to be mission 021 of The Next Big Thing, but I canned it because I didn't know where to go from where I'd stopped. Reading back through the rejects file, I realised I didn't have to go anywhere.
God bless that rejects file.
In mission 025 of Everything, the b that Jakey grabs is some fruity girly drink, as he does. And, for a slight elaboration, it is a law in Alabama that you cannot host a party unless you invite King Bran.
Mission 043 of Everything was originally mission 043 of Anything. You know.
Deputy Orange's characterisation was changed in this one. He's less "bumbling deputy"/"loser" and more "competent as fuck deputy"/"cool dude".
Completely inaccurate to the source material, I know.
Television:
Because of the idea of the past, present, and future coming together, I've decided to make television shows from many different eras of television. The year beside the name of the show is its original air date.
The show from the 1920s also features memes that are just about as old.
NEW SERIES:
The Mummy Tales (1929)
Gwendolyn and the Seven Cool Dudes (1937)
I Love Kathy (1951)
Middle Side Story (1961)
Jakey's Angels (1976)
Beauty and the Uncool Guy (1991)
Great's Anatomy (2007)
The Curse of the Black Togekiss (2016)
RETURNING SERIES:
A.L. Noire (1946)
Pasta Bolognese: A Fistful of Alabama Fun Bux (1964)
ALPD Azure (1993)
Kniggaz of the Round Table (2001)
Celebrity Take the Money and Run (2008)
Justice Hero Super League (2012)
Neo Super-Magical Kawaii Desu Show-Kun!!! (20XX)
Kniggaz of the Round Table 2 was just leftover jokes from the first one I couldn't use the first time. I'm happy with it.
Celebrity Take the Money and Run was totally just an excuse to use a joke I've had in storage since Nothing. I regret nothing.
Great's Anatomy was originally a single mission, but I thought the concept could be reworked into a TV series, so.
The Curse of the Black Togekiss probably would have been a set of missions if I weren't doing prequel/sequel same time bullshit.
as a reference as to which cool dude is supposed to be which dwarf:
SNEEZY - Jakey
GRUMPY - Eifi
HAPPY - Sheriff Antony
DOPEY - Tony
SLEEPY - Brucie
BASHFUL - Taylor
DOC - Bran
The idea for "neo" TV series and the 20XX shit started out as an idea for Neo A Thing, which would be the world of A Thing, XX years into the future. I got two missions in before I decided that this was stupid, and the joke would wear REALLY thin REALLY quickly.
Here's what I had:
- Spoiler:
Neo Mission 000: Neo Prologue [N/A]
"wake up fag" A man with a pretty funny (but not too funny) moustache hits Jakey 20XX in the head with a neo plank of wood. "what the fuck" "my name is chuck 20XX; give me the diamonds filthy neo canadian pig" "NEVER" Chuck 20XX breaks the neo wooden plank over Jakey 20XX's head. A man wearing nothing but a t-shirt that says "Make Neo America Great Again", as well as his trademark cowboy hat, swings from a rope and kicks Chuck 20XX in the head. "ow quit it" "no" "fuck" The man backflips off the rope, landing on two guards. "help sheriff antony" "you should probably lay off the drugs jakey 20XX" "NEVER" Sheriff Antony pulls his twin revolvers out from under his "Make Neo America Great Again" t-shirt. Sheriff Antony fires at Chuck 20XX, who dives beneath a desk and grabs his Neo Desert Eagle. "hey check this out" Chuck 20XX fires a bullet at a pipe. The bullet bounces off and hits Sheriff Antony right in his autographed "Make Neo America Great Again" t-shirt. "YOU MOTHERFUCKER" Two guards emerge from doors on either side of the boat. Jakey 20XX lifts up the chair he's tied to, and headbutts the guard on the right into the wall, causing his knife to dislodge from its holster, cutting the rope on Jakey 20XX's right hand. Jakey 20XX grabs the guard's falling laser rifle and points it at the desk Chuck 20XX is hiding behind. Meanwhile, Sheriff Antony backflips over the guard on the left, and grabs his neck in the crook of his arm. Chuck 20XX sweats. "hey i have an idea" Chuck 20XX chucks his gun at the ceiling, hitting a secret button, which opens a trap door underneath him. Chuck 20XX giggles with delight as he falls down the shaft to his personal neo speedboat. "welp" "i will have my revenge" Sheriff Antony looks down at the bullet hole in his autographed "Make Neo America Great Again" t-shirt. "it's only a matter of time" Michelle rapels down the rope attached to the top of the ship. "take me home"
[reward: neo respect +/Sheriff Antony missions]
Neo Mission 001: Ain't No Neo Love in the Heart of the Neo City [Sheriff Antony]
"jakey 20XX the streets of neo alabama aren't safe; you will need extra protection if you want to continue your saucy ways" "i can't help that so much sauce flows through these neo veins" Sheriff Antony places a small bag on the table. "these are the diamonds - they haven't been used since your great great great grandfather used them to uh do shit around XX years ago" "you don't mean jakey do you" Sheriff Antony nods. "i have known many jakeys in my day, but he ranks somewhere in the top five" Jakey 20XX grabs the bag. "i will be honoured to take up the neo mantle of one of my greatest ancestors" "that's the neo spirit" Jakey 20XX unloads the bag into his body, filling himself with the power he himself needs to - uh - do shit. Neo shit. "i feel stronger already" Jakey 20XX lifts Michelle 20XX up with one arm. "take me home"
[reward: neo respect +/The Diamonds]
Neo Mission 002: I Got 99 Neo Problems, but a Neo Bitch Ain't One [Sheriff Antony]
"uh sheriff antony what was the neo expiration date on those the diamonds you gave me" Sheriff Antony checks the package as Jakey 20XX phases in and out of neo reality. "uh let's see 22 april 2019" "that was... a long time ago" "yeah you should probably go see neo doctor eif" "good idea; he'll know what to do" Jakey 20XX hops into his Neo Super GT and peels out toward the neo doctor's office, where Kathy 20XX waits at the reception desk. "what's your ailment" "i'm phasing in and out of neo reality a bunch" "take a neo seat and the neo doctor will see you after his current patient" Jakey 20XX sits down in the neo chair closest to Neo Doctor Eif's door. "all right take two of these every several hours or so and eventually the crippling emotional pain you feel every day will go away" "thanks doc" "NEO doc" "yeah yeah whatever" Gwendolyn gives Neo Doctor Eif a little wave as she exits the neo doctor's office. "so what's your neo problem" "i ate some expired the diamonds and now i'm phasing in and out of neo reality" "oh that's easy enough to fix" Neo Doctor Eif grabs a long neo injection needle and jams it into Jakey 20XX's arm. "feeling better yet" "yes actually" "good that will be a million neo alabama fun bux" "a neo bargain" Jakey 20XX hands Neo Doctor Eif his neo money and walks out to his Neo Super GT, hands in his neo pockets, whistling badly. Michelle 20XX honks the neo horn. "take me home"
[reward: neo respect +/Neo Doctor Eif missions/Gwendolyn missions]
don't be surprised though if you see these missions again in the next few years
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE CANON:
As I've said before, A Thing and its sequels/prequels take place hundreds of years after the RPGboots.
This raises a contradiction that I will now resolve.
In A Thing, the five heroes from RPGboot V were brought forward in time to the world of A Thing.
However, RPGboot XV takes place after RPGboot V, and stars the same characters.
Here's how it goes down:
1. The heroes experience the first half of RPGboot V
2. The heroes are brought forward in time for A Thing, Another Thing, The Next Big Thing
3. During the events of Everything, the heroes go back in time to finish RPGboot V
3½. Adam Sandler also finds his way backward in time
4. RPGboot XV happens
5. Adam Lambert, Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, Gilbert Gottfried, and Stu go forward in time once again
5½. Kris Allen, Adam Sandler, Jaleel White, and Jack Black also make it to the future, using the same technique Adam Sandler used to go backward
6. The remaining heroes clone Jack White
6½. The remaining villains clone Ainsley Harriott
7. The events of the entry of the A Thing series that takes place in 2017, which may or may not have anything to do with these ten people
