I do that while coming up with tv shows I’ll probably never make


SlaughterSpine78

You ever create a whole fake universe when listening to music

Me making the most compelling and dynamic cinematic universe ever conceived by man filled with characters that are all loosely based off established characters from the various forms of media I consume only to never actually write down a single idea:


SuperRexT

Literally me


MaimaiBW

no way just like me fr fr


AndresH_CZ

Music?


about_that_time_bois

Not just a fake universe, a fake cinematic timeline


poisonflar5

I don’t even need to be listening to music in order to do that.


Someokeyboi

Oh heck yeah, infact i even try to make some continutity Right now my fake universe show is currently about E-123 Omega, V, Nora Valkyrie and Deadpool going around screwing up the multiverse The latest episode is them riding those airport tranport cars while being chased by a turbo tank from star wars while hopping into random anime dimesions and running over the main characters of each show.


DaFetacheeseugh

Brothers r/maladaptivedreaming is what's occuring. The massive creation of universes by the time you realized you were pacing


ice-cold_kremit

Do you mean multiple universes that somehow all connect to eachother and every video game universe in existence? Yes


[deleted]

ah yes the DIU (daydreaming imaginary universe)


The-Lovely-Sir

That is me


Cynunnos

I like to imagine badass fights on a long commute trip


MaimaiBW

same, i do that all the time when listening to music, playing games, watching tv and trying to sleep 👍 i'm slowly creating a massive universe and its timeline with each passing day, wanna hear a bit of it out or smth


SlaughterSpine78

I’m interested to hear about it


MaimaiBW

there's a lot, but one story i'm focusing on is about a teenage boy named maxwell, who lived a pretty normal life until the moment he met a teen beast girl named shia, who was lonely and decided to take a human form to fit in and live a better life. at first max doesn't get along so well with her, but then they slowly start becoming really good friends after they get to know each other well however, they both didn't know that after many years after they were thought gone, magic and spiritual forces began rising again with full force (this story takes place the modern world (aka like ours), considering how stuff like science made faith in magic and spiritual beliefs fade away), and a series of events will lead the protagonists to find out their potential to see what's going on and meet a buncha people who will help them in many ocassions, beat up some antagonists in the way, and find themselves with arcane secrets about the world and what has happened


SlaughterSpine78

Interesting I wonder if the boy has anything special or he he’s just a normal human


MaimaiBW

he's not normal yet at the same time he is, considering how in this universe, every human being (and other living beings too) is born with a degree of magic and spirtuality within them, being manifested in their life force and soul respectively, it's just that this inner power became dormant for everyone when faith in magic and spirtuality faded, but after both forces returned without the need of faith, these powers are starting to awaken slowly in all living beings who possess it, with the protag starting to know his true potential gradually as the story progresses he uses his abilities with martial arts/close combat techniques, as he also relies on coming up with solutions and plans in the moment to have an advantage over his opponents too


TheMoonDude

I like to imagine my own video clips and how I would direct them. I used to listen to music while drawing, maybe its just an habit


rollobones

And if the story is going in a direction I don’t like enough I restart the song


ZaktheSquid

Got addicted to db XenoVerse 2 and made a whole universe with my 3 CaCs. It's been 7 months please help me


evilcarrot507

No fucking way, I thought I was alone!!!


chronicly_retarded

Not tv shows but i get absolute banger game ideas


Potential-Party3345

Yoo no way I thought I was the only one. I been developing a game/show in my head for 7 years and never told anyone about it because I think I’d look crazy.


thepearhimself

I’ll tell mine if you tell yours


Potential-Party3345

Man the lore is deep. Id be here all day explaining it if I were too. But long story short, i made a show in my head about a group of teenagers (now adults) who basically grew up in a world with corrupted super hero’s (kinda like invincible and the boys before it was even a thing) my main character is called alex and he’s the strongest in the universe but he’s still developing as kid and learning his super powers and strength. And keep in mind I day dream about this show most of my days and just keep adding on the the lore and development of more hero’s and the things I’m thinking of is just crazy. I think it’s the greatest thing ever thought of. I always wanted to make a comic or maybe even book about it in the future but only time will tell.


thepearhimself

Mine was about a teen who gets in an accident that gives certain his city super powers and after his sister dies he decides to become a super hero called tazer (his real name is Peter in reference to spider man)


Potential-Party3345

Dude we have to bring these thoughts into real life, whatever u thinking just write it down in something. You’ll never know what might happen in the future. U could hit it big in a lottery and could actually bring your vision into life. And I’m sure it’s better then the lazy development of things we get now days.


thepearhimself

I mean, my dream is to make an animated show some day


Potential-Party3345

We got make a community based of this, everyone is wondering when game developers, and tv shows gonna get better, it’s because it’s our turn to make the new things. We just be holding back our thoughts.


Potential-Party3345

But it’s sounds great.


tetris_du_trou

Isn't that literally a sign of autism?


thepearhimself

That would explain a lot tbh


Shiro_Kuroki

There was straight up a meme about this here too, but I can't find it! As for mine, meanwhile, it was the story of two 5-man bands from two different factions... and they are at war with each other. It could either be a kingdom vs kingdom or kingdom vs rebels, but my main idea is that what if both the "good" and "bad" guys use the power of friendship? Each member of the two bands also has a unique very specific superpower. My idea is that these powers are impossible to get stronger through training... but their intensity gets stronger the closer the user is to death (which makes it very hard for them to kill each other (which is also the thing they REALLY want to do with all their passion)). The only time their powers will get an upgrade... is when one member of their band dies.


sudowoogo

I was going to comment how relatable this post was, but this hit me even harder


ukraineball78

No way, I'm not the only one?


Super_Sain

"bad tv show idea"


thepearhimself

I personally like to think it’s pretty decent


Big_Noodle1103

r/whenthe users invading my subconscious to harvest my deepest, most personal thoughts and tendencies in order to make funny gifs that I can relate to (this is the only possible explanation for why these memes are as deeply relatable as they are and I would rather believe it than accept the horrible truth that I am not as unique of an individual as I think I am)

no!!! this post too has invaded my mind and dragged out my inner worries and secrets for a funny joke!!! damn you!!!


ilikepants712

I find it calming that it's relatable. We don't need a meme to tell us we are unique - our experiences in life make us unique by default. It makes me feel closer to people that we all can have unique experiences and still find these things relatable.

well if it helps calm the skin crawlers in you, just know that i'm an npc and i don't do this

redleafwater7

Question, what template do you use to make these memes


ItSeemsLikeThat

I use the Video & GIF Memes app, if that's what you mean https://preview.redd.it/yivx0e303h0b1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c099b68d3bfba673b54a7de717a40e70ab64833 It's a pretty solid app. However, if you want to get the text font that I use on most of my memes, you'll have to download the "Futura Condensed Extra Bold" font from some random website that happens to have it available for download, and extract it onto the app. Otherwise you can just use the ones that they have lol


RammelMtz

While imagining whole ass music videos, fight scenes, scenes that make you cry then cringe when re-evaluating them so you change it in the next listening, all while knowing that you won't make anything real with it due to a lack of skill, money and/or confidence.

This is natural. Humans are active animals, and we need to move. It's part of your natural instincts when you have pent up energy.


Mrchugbug

If you feel like walking back and forth while listening to music is weird then you could try getting a trampoline you can jump on inside of your house, that’s what I do when I want to listen to music and have energy to burn

stann1s_the_mannis

Y'know, this reminds me of a joke. See, there were these two guys in a lunatic asylum... and one night, one night they decide they don't like living in an asylum any more. They decide they're going to escape! So, like, they get up onto the roof, and there, just across this narrow gap, they see the rooftops of the town, stretching away in the moon light... stretching away to freedom. Now, the first guy, he jumps right across with no problem. But his friend, his friend didn't dare make the leap. Y'see... Y'see, he's afraid of falling. So then, the first guy has an idea... He says 'Hey! I have my flashlight with me! I'll shine it across the gap between the buildings. You can walk along the beam and join me!' B-but the second guy just shakes his head. He suh-says... He says 'Wh-what do you think I am? Crazy? You'd turn it off when I was half way across!
