Both Movies I Mentioned I Also Highly Recommend - Tumblr Posts

The last line absolutely SENT ME and also gave me an idea

So, itd be really funny to have a middle aged guy about to snap and then an overworked uni student just absolutely fueding because theyre both just absolutely tired of life and about 2 seconds away from breaking a window

And it just slowly devolves into ripping each other apart every single reset

We might be able to take some inspo from The Day After Tomorrow (movie, basic premise is this guys fighting in a war and every time he dies he 'resets' back to a specific point and has to figure out how to make it further without dying) or maybe even Free Guy (movie, video game based, main character is an npc that become sentient, something something doesnt matter if they die because theyll always respawn because hes a video game character). If we go that route we could do something like maybe people trapped in a video game as npcs and theyre trying to get out but because its a video game who fucking cares if they die, but also thats why they keep running into each other because its scripted into the game that they meet via one way or another

As for the scale, I really like the reality bleeding idea a lot because of how subtle it is, and maybe we give them slightly inhuman or uncanny features just to hint that theres something off, but nobody really notices until the story really starts to get going

Guys guys what if what if we made ocs together and and we made them kill each other in violent ways.
