TNWBAWTTM Roman Numeral IV

I want to show an arc with the husband and wife character's going to a swingers social. The husband and wife don't know it is a swinger party. They get asked to come over for a dinner by their neighbor, where the people will exchange wallets and swap partners. The husband agrees to the dinner not knowing it is a swingers party, he just thinks about the wallet exchange as a way to get to know the other people in the party and nothing more. They are asked by their neighbor (60 to 75 years old). The conversation will be done over the phone and when the host of the party tells the dad character about them being swingers, the dad sneezes over the part. When the husband and wife go to the party they are introduced to the rest of the party members. No one from the neighborhood knows about this and none of them are at the party, all these characters will be historical domain characters like Samuel Clemens and Olivia Langdon (Mark Twain). The focus will not be on the party members, but how the family reacts to this situation. The family, not liking the idea of a swingers convention in their neighborhood is the main focus of this story. The beginning of this arc can start out by the dad asking another neighbor why the family across the street never wants to do anything with the rest of the community. The supporting character/neighbor then talks about the family that lives right across the street and how they dabble into some taboo subjects and shouldn't be bothered with. This kind of story gets a little dark so to keep it light-hearted I could also have a side-story about the youngest son going to his first professional baseball game. If any story is to be told here it would be that the son is in love with baseball and wants to surround the rest of his life with baseball. The arc would include at the end, the son either joining the ball club as a batboy or a vendor at the ballpark.

TNWBAWTTM 3.0

For a minor story arc I could have the mother and one of the sons doing a role where the mother yells to the son from across the house to go and fetch her some bottled water. When the son passes the water to her, he realizes that her breast is hanging out of her shirt. Just to help everyone visualize this, her tit is long and flaccid, drooping down to the top of her pant line. To compare the droopiness, think of a toy train two to three car lengths being held on the edge of a table. When the son saw this, he accidentally drops the Water on my mother's foot, making it spill and splash on to her bosom, making some sort of glossy finish over the characters tit. Now the mom realizes that her tit is hanging out, embarrassed she tries to get up and run into her room. Jumping up and making a break for the other room she slips on the wet floor, slides until she falls on her back exposing more of her breast. the son asks her if she is OK, she responds by saying "This can't really be happening to me".

TNWBAWTTM Part Deux.

Let's continue where we left off with describing the way the middle brother acts. For starters, this brother is trying to prove to himself and to the rest of the family that he is better suited for being the head of the family than the oldest brother. This will often result in a power struggle between the oldest brother and occasionally the father(if there is any confusion the middle brother would have the struggle with the oldest brother and/or the father). Whenever examined in a story arc, the only possible scenario for him will be falling short of his brother and making the family have less expectations from him in future scenarios. Failure is the only option for the middle brother when he faces off against the oldest brother (the dad will always show the least amount of clear judgment). The middle brother will be one of the ways that complicates the simple day to day activities of the family, although it won't be limited to just himself. He will usually have the third son tag along and talk about growing up. Which brings us to the last character of main characters, the third son. He will be misunderstood by the parents causing either comedic relief or goofy plot points. Most of the time he will speak in slang just to confuse the parents and try to live away from the rest of the family. Communication with the parents will be hard because of the slang and the older brothers will usually translate to the best of their knowledge the youngest will be about 14 to 16 years old. He will follow or tag along with each brother standing as an intermediary between the two brother's. While analyzing each situation, the youngest will often break the fourth wall in times that show the brothers doing something that is morally wrong or just weird. I really think the best way for the youngest son to have a continuous gag of lamp shading the poor judgment his family by actually asking if there is a lamp shade around (BUT FUNNY).
The characterization of each person in the story will always try to tie in with the plot, continually advancing the plot. The plot of a whole season would be the family either trying to adapt to their surroundings or just be able to pay the mortgage.

This Notebook Will Be A Window To The Madness

I have compiled a notebook about anything and everything that comes to my mind. Any and every subject will come into question, eventually...
I had just come back from a hiking trip in the Appalachian Mountains and thought of an idea for a minor story arc which had three friends going to the countryside (West Virginia). I hadn't developed anything more than an opening line parodying John F. Kennedy's "we ask God's blessing on this most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure of which man has ever embarked".
I came with an idea about a fictional bar named "The Glory Hole" and the owner wouldn't know until the end of a story arc after one of their patrons comments about being scared of going into the bathroom. The owner of course realizes to change the name into his favorite show and coincidentally his dogs name "Twilight-zone" changing the name of the establishment into "The Dogging Zone".
Was working on a dysfunctional family set-up where none of the characters would be sane or just barely enough to function in real life activities, somehow it resembles my family in an uncanny way. The mother character lives in a "world" of her own, clutching on to her past in high school life where she made a perfect grade point average going on to college and marrying her high school sweet heart turning out to be...The father character, depressed over his physical features and lack of achievements takes out his wraith on the rest of the family regularly abusing the family emotionally. The dad often will be only challenged by the older son who is an irregularity being extremely intelligent applying his knowledge to help the family continue as a functioning family unit in the United States. His attempts at trying to integrate the rest of the family is constantly being undermined by the middle brother.

I'll start with the middle brother's background on another day,
