#mythic quest quarantine

[queenhawke]

the thing about apple tv+'s non-hit show mythic quest (2020-?) is that: is it good? who's to say. but goddamn if that larp episode didn't completely break my brain and now i haven't stopped thinking about it for two straight years

#mythic quest #don't ask me if it's a good show or not i am incapable of being subjective about it #i mean s2 is definitely good. i think. #quarantine is good #everlight is the best episode of a show ever. if you ask me #but s1? s3??? it's anyone's guess #anyway i Am in Hell #bc who knows when we'll get a new season what with the strike #and this fandom is tiny so i don't even have that much fanfic to tide me over #autism is a curse why can't i hyperfixate on something useful like math

my idea for modern day tracy liwanag!

more lore under the cut!

so in my mind tracy and poppy naturally drifted apart when tracy moved to the US to get a medical degree, eventually poppy went to MIT. despite living in the same country they rarely spoke aside from formalities.

i think they grow up to just tolerate each other but poppy tries to brag to her any time she can, which is rarely ever since tracys almost always working. tracy's a workaholic more than poppy, she has to be being an ER doctor.

poppy's always wondered what it's like living the way she lives, traditionally comfortably but in constant work motion, or is that exactly what she's doing? on the flipside tracy feels inadequate or even jealous of poppy because of how she's succeeded on living (what she thinks is) her dream life, while shes stuck in an endless labour cycle, or is that exactly what poppy thinks?

anyways eventually tracy moves back to Australia to be with family and poppy finds out she has a few weeks later through her parents and that in turn makes poppy feel bad now for staying in LA and never visiting. this fear builds on the fact that poppy's family doesn't reach out to her anymore, that she's the only kid that isn't coming back for her parents.

#also this drawing is supposed to take place somewhere in season 1…like b4 quarantine because i think tracy moves back to australia by then #mythic quest #poppy li #kaitsart #tracy liwanag #poppy liwanag #me writing lore for a character that was on screen for 3 seconds and bullied poppy in all of them #anyways shes so american healthcare (glitzy) by penelope scott coded

Me: So Abed Nadir is played by Danny Pudi, yes?

Brain: Yes

Me: And Brad Bakshi is also played by Danny Pudi

Brain: Yes

Me: So you accept they're the same person?

Brain: ...

Brain: No

Me: If there is a movie, Abed will look more like Brad than Abed

Brain: S̸͔̓I̷̯̥͂L̷̢̖͕͋Ē̸̳̦̿N̵̬̈́Ć̷̱͎͖É̴̗͝ Ẅ̴̛̤̲̳͋E̶͖̱͉̰͛̓N̴̩̍͑̌͆C̸̛̼͋͜ͅH̶̫̀̏́̒͗

if you like WWDITS you should try Mythic Quest.

The characters are slightly less evil, but still problematic.

There are actually quite a few women in the show (and some of them even kiss!! WWDITS could never)

The main leads dynamic is absolutely nothing like Nandor and Guillermo, but also it is so similar in a way of you think about it. (They aren’t in love romantically tho, not to me at least)

It’s a dramedy so if you wish WWDITS got a little more serious sometimes this might be great for you.

It makes me cry

It’s really silly

It has Danny Pudi.

Some reallllly well done flashback episodes

One of the episodes is my favorite piece of quarantine/lockdown/Covid media of all time

It has Ashly Burch

It’s a show heavily focused on platonic relationships (which I love)

Here’s a graphic I made showing how I think the characters match up.

brad has serious problems with feeling like he isn’t needed

like how he literally lost mq millions of dollars and half the staff when poppy told him that he she and the company didn’t need him

like how in quarantine he forced david to think he was so important by not donating to charity therefore being needed when he eventually did

like how he wanted jo to need him when she was being arrested and he took the fall for her

like how he left mythic quest and they didn’t need him

like how he came back and everything was ok

like how david was successful and now brad has to mess with him because what else is he needed for now

like how now he is desperately clinging on to carol needing him

like making rash decisions that won’t benefit mq (the nfts) that will eventually fail because he wants needs to be needed so bad he’s willing to make more and more short-term cash grab ideas that will sink mythic quest just like zack said

#this wasn’t supposed to be a long post i promise #brad bakshi #does this make sense? #basically tldr: brad wants to be needed so bad and my theory is that it’s all going to crash and burn and it will be his fault #cue breaking brad 2: electric boogaloo #jo mq #jo mythic quest #david brittlesbee #zack bakshi #zach bakshi #mq #mythic quest #mythic quest season 3 #mq s3 #mythic quest s3

the other best part of mythic quest quarantine was when they thanked everyone the cast was quarantining with in the credits because they all helped set up the shots 😭 when even the CREDITS make u cry ur pretty far gone

#mythic quest #i just. the power that ep still has to transport me to may 2020 #literally crying even just thinking about it now

MYTHIC QUEST spinoff series MERE MORTALS ordered by Apple TV+

If you haven't checked out Mythic Quest, it's great, and once a season they do an episode that departs from the main narrative to flesh out other parts of the world. Mere Mortals, a spinoff series, will tell eight stories in that vein, and sounds very cool.

Full release below:

Apple TV+ today announced that its critically hailed, hit comedy series “Mythic Quest” will expand its universe of beloved characters with “Mere Mortals,” a new eight-episode extension series from Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris and Katie McElhenney, with Megan Ganz, Rob McElhenney, David Hornsby and Charlie Day serving as executive producers.

“Mere Mortals” will explore the lives of employees, players, and fans who are impacted by the game. The new spinoff series takes a page out of the acclaimed departure episodes of “Mythic Quest,” including the upcoming episode “Sarian,” set to make its global debut on Apple TV+ this Friday; last year’s “Everlight,” the special episode that earned a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Narrator for Anthony Hopkins; season one’s “A Dark Quiet Death”; “Backstory!” from “Mythic Quest” season two; and, the widely celebrated standalone episode, “Mythic Quest: Quarantine.”

Currently in its third season, “Mythic Quest” is a global hit sitcom from creators Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Megan Ganz that has been hailed by critics as “hilarious and endearing,” “a ton of fun,” and “the best workplace comedy on TV.” The series received an early season three and four renewal, and boasts a Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes.

“Mere Mortals” is written by “Mythic Quest” star Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris and Katie McElhenney. The new series will be produced for Apple TV+ by Lionsgate, 3 Arts Entertainment and Ubisoft. Megan Ganz, Rob McElhenney, David Hornsby, Charlie Day, Nick Frenkel, Michael Rotenberg, Jason Altman and Margaret Boykin will serve as executive producers. 

The new series will join a growing offering of hit and award-winning comedy series on Apple TV+ including the soon-to-premiere “Shrinking,” as well as new seasons of “Ted Lasso,” “Schmigadoon!,” “Physical,” “The Afterparty,” “Bad Sisters,” “Trying” and more.

[nerdynikki94]

So, I'm watching Mythic Quest now. I want to beat the shit out of Ian 99.7% of the time, but it's just so fun.

I love the ensemble. David & Danny are so fucking great on their own (even more as an onscreen duo I never would've thought of, but am obsessed with), because David & Brad's scenes are so entertaining to watch.

Also, Rach & Dana... AGGGHHHH!!! They're so cute!

Just saw the Quarantine episode and holy crap. That was so well written. I legit cried during that scene with Poppy & Ian at the end.

#mythic quest #the narrative coddles ian too much imo. #but i get that he's damaged. #and he earned a lot of points making poppy co-creative director #also damn rob for his soulful puppy eyes. whenever he gets what he deserves. those big browns make it impossible to revel in his suffering.
