With TSAMS coming up on being four years old, uploading a video almost every day, with every episode lasting anywhere from ten to thirty minutes, it now has more episodes than one peice, somewhere around 1,400 episodes. That is, using a conservative average of 17 minutes per episode, is 23,800 minutes, or 397 hours, or 16.5 days, or 2.4 straight weeks of video footage.
Given this, it is a little bit insane that there’s no good way for a new viewer to catch up on the story. If a new viewer watched five episodes per day (almost an hour and a half of just watching) then they would catch up to the episode the day they started in 280 days. By that point, there would be 280 more episodes to watch that were posted while they caught up on the old ones. If they continued to watch 5 episodes per day, they would spend 56 more days watching those. Then, they’d similarly have to catch up on those 56 new ones, taking 11 more days. Then, 2 more days for the remaining 11 episodes and finally, one more day before they are fully caught up.
That means, if they started today, they would have to spend 350 days just to watch every episode until they finally caught up on everything, and would have spent 5% of their entire year just watching TSAMS episodes on YouTube.
So, given that, I want to try and summarize every episode from episode one to now, trying to catalog every bit of information in a giant transcript of the entire show. If you’d like to help me out with transcription, you can do so by transcribing an episode of your choice, and posting the transcription along with the name and date of the episode. I will copy the transcript to an obsidian vault (essentially just a better version of google docs with HTML and tags) (with credit of course) and then, once published, it will mean we finally have a good way to look up information about this stupid show without watching hours of video footage.
If you would like to participate in this project, I have an example of the formatting for the transcript down below. The main things to keep in mind is the names being on a separate line to the speech, and that being separate to any motion or sound affects needed. Really, as long as you use punctuation, line breaks, and capital letters, I can fix any formatting issues when uploading to Obsidian. Please tag me if you post a transcript or at least use the tag #TSBS transcript project. Currently, the only episode that has been taken is the very first one, by me.
Sun
Is that… I see it down there!
Moon
Yes.
(Sun gasps)
Moon
Welcome to The Sun and Moon Show. Well well well, hello boys and girls.
Sun
What are we?
Moon
We’re in our new show, brother.
(Sun squeaks)
Sun
Whatever it is, I'm happy with it. I get to spend all the time of the world with you, my bestest brother. Ever since we got split up, it's been the best thing! Yeah, no more talking to myself half the time… Well, I'm not sure if this still counts actually, now that I think about it.
Moon
Let’s not think about it.
Sun
Okay!
Moon
But, yes, welcome to The Sun and Moon Show.
Sun
What are we going to do on this show?
Moon
We’ll do all sorts of things… but for now we're doing a little bit of reaction.
Sun
But, but… what other things?!
Moon
We’ll be playing lots of games as well.
Sun
We will?
Moon
Yes, indeed.
Sun
Oh, okay, okay, okay, I get it, I get it, but right now, the first thing we're watching is “Glamrock Freddy goes to prison” by Xanimations.
Moon
Yes, indeed. Let’s get started, shall we?
Sun
Yes, yes, let us start, let us start! I am ready to see this!
The video starts, and the scene is Montgomery Gator being tormented by Gregory with a chicken squeaky toy. Monty grows angrier as the scene goes on, while Glamrock Freddy tries to convince him to control his anger.
Moon
Ah.
Sun, whispering
What is that chicken doing?
Moon
It’s a squeaky chicken.
Sun, whispering
Oh.
Video Monty, to Gregory
Would you cut that crap out you stupid infant!?
Sun
He reminds me of you a little bit, when the kids get a little too, ah…
Have you heard of Inktober? Goretober? Welcome to the same idea, but with TSBS theming!
Steps:
Read the day's prompt! (Or pick an old prompt that you skipped or missed!)
Draw, write, craft, compose, or edit something related to the word of the day! ("Sick" could be interpreted as a character with an illness, or someone doing a really cool trick.)
Post it somewhere! On the fridge, on your socials, and ideally with #TSBStober if you can so people can find it easily!
Feel free to spread the prompts to other socials, though there is a version already being posted to TikTok and to the official TSBS Discord. Be sure to tag responsibly, and follow whatever rules there are where you post (Discord rules, site content allowances, etc.)!!
Extra info about content that will be shared on this blog is below the cut!
This blog will attempt to reblog every entry submitted to this, with some limits. Ship content, as well as content that requires a trigger or content warning will be tagged as such, so that people can feel comfortable knowing their tag filters will remove what they don't want to see. However, content that is NSFW (sexual or excessive gore), shipping illegal ships, or anything pro-transphobia, pro-homophobia, pro-racism, etc. will not be reblogged here.
