“there are no original ideas” so you’re telling me someone’s already come up with my idea for a seven season tv show wherein a group of supernatural entities (led by an anemically lethargic vampire) band together to perform a series of increasingly elaborate heists, including but not limited to:
stealing an armored car but actually it’s one of those red cross bloodmobiles
similarly, breaking into a blood bank
and into an actual bank (to procure funds to buy rescue a local haunted house from being demolished)
a chemical plant, for the purpose of eco sabatoge (bastards have been dumping pollutants in the Swamp Monster’s swamp, it’s messing with the paranormal ecosystem)
an fancy auction house, to steal back the Witch’s grandmother’s Cursed Necklace (it has sentimental value)
a huge fucking castle (the Ghost left some really embarrassing teenage diaries hidden under the flagstones. also there’s Hidden Treasure, but they are mainly worried about the diaries, in which they may or may not have confessed to a murder. super cringe)
The British Museum, to resurrect the Mummy’s long-lost sibling from their sarcophagus. the gang also takes this opportunity to steal back a bunch of shit the british stole
the Vatican, to purloin a bunch of stolen sacred objects and return them to their homelands (this is complicated by the fact half of the team members are highly allergic to holy objects and certain precious metals)
a submarine, to settle a bet on whether or not the Loch Ness Monster is real (the Swamp Monster heard it from a River Nymph heard it from a Kelpie heard it from a Mermaid, but everyone knows mermaids like to mess with people and since when do they know anything about freshwater monstrology? it’s a point of contention)
a zoo. i haven’t decided why except it involves a kidnapped unicorn and a runaway selkie
you’re telling me that’s already been done? because i want to fucking watch it
These are all storylines that versions of them already exist in other media. It also seems as though your protagonist group could potentially fit into several different group tropes including the three best friends or five man band structure.
Also this is pretty similar to that one concept post about a group of vampires doing various heists bc they can’t be caught on camera and such.
that’s true but in fairness i wrote that post too
