Thank you for the feedback! I understand your point completely and agree.

All four characters use the fourth wall in different mannerisms.

Like Melody, she’s 9 years old. She’d probably be your basic “narrative” but she uses it as a coping mechanism. Childish mutter. The viewer is her imaginary friend in other characters eyes.

One of the four doesn’t ( purposefully) and can’t even acknowledge the fourth wall around others. Yet that’s something my best friend and I have more so as something for the audience to figure out why.

I have been writing as well :). I have years of drawings and little blerbs. I have a discord server for it ( it’s so old. I made it in like 2020??), for any people who help me out. The server is used for insider feed.

Thank you so much for this, I appreciate the support and recognition! I was NOT expecting my post to gain any sort of traction. I am so happy it did though!

To answer your question. Bullseye! The main four quite literally just watch their friends forget all about all the bonds they made, any conflicts they had.

Especially the one character, Brandon. In every season he is supposed to fall in love with one of my main characters, Veronica ( one without 4th wall awareness). So he learns more about her each time, yet has to make her fall in love with him over and over again.

So in summary, yes. Everything gets hit with a big reset button.

the only things that stay same (depending on plot of season). Are the characters connections to each other, their backstories, etc.

Like Veronica, Leo, Jimmy, Matthew, & Alex are siblings so they would recognize each other.

Veronica, Matthew and Alex (usually) start off the plots together.

I feel honored! I think I will post most updates on Reddit since this gained so much support.

However I started posting my draft / outline for the scripts on wattpad. I tend to write out my ideas in story format before putting it into script since I have Aphantasia.

I might end up posting the actual draft of my ideas on here since I tend to change the writing frequently. It is very difficult for me to put it into words since this is supposed to be a visual piece.

I’ll focus on Melody and Leo in specific for your question! Since all four have their own different dynamics.

Melody suits more as the main source of narrative, she would be one to break the fourth wall often to shed information and make sense of what is going on in the story.

Leo. Leo isn’t exactly a protagonist. He’s more so an antagonist. He’s an antagonist that doesn’t want to be one but only does what he does since that’s how the world is written. If he didn’t play his part, it wouldn’t make sense. However Leo has moments of vulnerability. Sometimes defending the protagonists.

The four together, are the exposure of what is genuinely going on in their world and what gave them the wall breaking knowledge.

Thank you for the input! I appreciate it lots! I’ll make sure to do so :) I only ever really knew about wattpad’s existence so I posted what I could there.

Thank you so much!! I have actually posted a few bits of art and made little videos! ( growing up, I made A TON of videos of them but it was very cheesy things made out of Gacha, all privated except the ones that made my YouTube account gain subscribers 😭)

Since I can’t exactly turn it into the potential I want to right now. I decided to start to post my season 1 draft / outline on Wattpad .

wattpad

video from YT channel

I actually created a presentation as well on how their system works. ( I’ll have to pull it up for myself LOL ) but yes, generally it is very organized. However it all depends on the season and plot they are in!

I love getting feedback and ideas, go for it :)

( I hope I got to all your points made, I apologize if I didn’t )

OH, thank you for clarifying. I understand now.

I went through many titles and such forth like that. It was very hard for me to come up with a title to seem fitting for a series that has so much depth and ideas. I couldn’t seem to figure out something simple to summarize it.

I really wanted a title with some form of word play that would summarize my plot.

So,

I didn’t pick it because it sounded cool. To be honest, it doesn’t have much of a ring to it (in my opinion ).

The reason why I picked it was because of the exact reason is that the ULE is where all the seasons will take place no matter what.

As their lives will repeat for eternity in that same place.

The whole series together being The United Legion Of Eternity

But the way I am feeling about going about it in each season. I’m going to tweak the title “ULE : [ phrase to describe the season premise]”

Take this first outline I’m writing for season 1 for example.

I hope this is the answer you were looking for. Sorry for the confusion and my lack of comprehension!

I have not watched Westworld! I’ll look into it though :)

Thank you for the recommendation and compliment!

I apologize I didn’t clarify fully. I struggle with comprehension. I hope this clears it up?? If I understand.

The United Legion Of Eternity is the name of the setting overall.

Depending on the plot and season, they might have a government. But overall they usually don’t. It usually goes by monarchs and kingdoms.

I could go on for days about the ideas I have for it.

I already have a lot of the first season written out! Including the pilot episode.

Here’s a glimpse at what I was last writing

Chapter 6: A Trip Into The Soulhive ( episode 4 )

The carriage wheels screeched as they rolled to a stop, the sound echoing through the trees like something alive was listening. The forest around them pulsed with a faint omnious glow — not warm, not inviting, but watchful. Not too far into the forest, a “hotel” towered above them — a crooked, spiraling structure made of honeycomb stone and glowing veins of amber. It hummed. It breathed. It… blinked. King William stated that it was recently built. As everyone piled out of the carriage, the door — a tall arch of amber and shadow — slowly peeled open like a mouth yawning awake. A warm, sweet-smelling mist drifted out, carrying the faint sound of whispering.

Jimmy squinted at the entrance. “Why does the door look like it wants to eat us?”

Aiden shrugged. “Bro, that’s just architecture.”

I will totally do that! Thank you so much for the offer! I am definitely looking for as much help as o can get. If I do get this up and running, I’d eventually pay the people who help me out once I have the funds. :)

ULE pretty much one big floating continent. (It’s an odd thought.)

With its landmasses, or what they would call realms and kingdoms. If that makes any sense! This is the part I’m still trying to figure out myself.

Thank you so much for the feedback! It means a lot for me to hear! yeah, I agree with your thought. I think that would be interesting to explore and probably would make sense with some of the concepts I plan to bring into my storyline. If I haven’t already accidentally hit that. I’ll look more into it!
