Better Off Ted TV Show # and Length of Episodes: 13 episodes, each about 22 minutes Viewable on: Amazon Prime Video
What I love about the canon: Fantastic science is being developed by a truly evil corporation, and it is rapidly hurtling everyone towards a dystopia, if they're not already there. Yet at the same time, the individual people within the evil corporation are just doing their best from one day to the next. I love the science-y hijinks and corporate backstabbing!
What I love about the ships: I mostly want to see my science bros, Lem and Phil. They are so deeply, DEEPLY weird. They fit into each other's lives so perfectly. How did they meet? What happens if they ever fight with each other? Why are they so extremely codependent? What is a day in their lives even like? How do they cope with basic human things like ordering at a drive-through without getting all mad-sciencey about it? (Or maybe they don't!)
I also added Veronica/Linda because I would love to see Veronica being her usual arrogant, demeaning self, and Linda not having it anymore. Could she somehow turn the tables?
I also added Veronica/Linda/Ted because I see Ted being completely out of his depth in this situation, and that makes me cackle.
Kinds of things I'm hoping to ask for: Hijinks, humor, Mad Science!, corporate games, corporate ridiculousness (buzzwords like synergy!), corporate backstabbing (metaphorical), perhaps some sexual favors traded for job perks? Could there be sexual harassment training, only not the sort you thought??
I do not want unhappy endings, major character death, permanent physical or mental illness or injury, permanent body changes, incest, poop, anything underage, eggs (for sexual purposes -- eggs for science purposes would be fine), pregnancy, gender swapping / gender switching, fantastical elements such as changing into animals (for sexual purposes -- changing into animals for science purposes would be fine), bestiality, A/B/O, cutesy names for body parts, or racism UNLESS the racist is fully punished within the story (i.e., racist is hit with a gun that turns him into a newt [see above note re changing into animals for science purposes]).
Content notes: This is a pretty lighthearted property, but they did get into some racist corporate practices in episode 4, and it was freaking hilarious. There are weird science things happening in this world, not all of which are 100% consensual. Also, Viridian Dynamics is the definition of an evil org.
