idea for a boy-coded show, specifically the "mature" one. The story is about a boy who is the youngest in his family and his story is about escaping from and eventually fighting against them. The main character's family is made up of his father, mother, three older sisters (they're triplets), and two older brothers (they're twins). The family is toxic, and while they love each other on some level they are still a mess. Also their powerful magic users who tyrannically rule over their lands from their castle estate. The father has violent anger problems and can lash out easily and the main character has been on the receiving end of the anger quite a bit. The father is also Odysseus levels in love with his wife, and while he loves his kids they usually on the receiving end of his violent outbursts. The father has super strength, endurance, and can turn into a manticore. The mother is the kinder of the parents and a source of security for her children but often makes excuses for the father, also she's in and out of sickness due to some health problems that were caused by complications with the birth of the youngest (which why the father lashes out at the youngest and why the father's angry outburst usually kine up with the mother's sickness spells), she can summon and command mothes and butterflies that she uses to spy on people and find things and people. The sisters are based on the Dimitrescu sisters. The eldest sister is quiet but with a strong head on her shoulders and can be pretty cruel (think like Reiji from Diabolik Lover) and has mind controlling powers. The middle sister is ruthless hunter & has big don't fuck with me energy, she she can either shape-shifting into animals or take on the traits of animals. Surpirsingly the middle sister is closest to the main character/her youngest brother. The youngest daughter is the most delusional aka airhead, daydreamer, and often off in her own world. She either has the power to temporarily manifest fairytale of story characters and monsters/creatures into reality. A for the twin older brothers one is the golden child (along with the oldest sister) and a daddy's boy, he is very determine to have his dad be proud of him and often teases the main character. He can cause hallucinations and use people's fears and insecurities against them. The older twin brother is a tech nerd/inventer and can control metal and nicer than his twin, and close to his younger brother/the main character. Out of all of them the hunter sister and inventor brother are more likely to turn against the family and join the main character. The main character starts out with no powers since they haven't developed yet, but he eventually has either sun magic or moon magic.
Sorry, this went long, free to change stuff if this is more mature than what you wanted for the prompt. I think I went a bit too far with some of this.
Oooh this is really fun! Kind reminds me of all those revenge isekai manga/manhwa! (Not that one... You know the one...)
I think this is a pretty solid story as is! I could see this as a longer 1 season or 2 slightly shorter seasons long anime on MiraNex. Might get a film cut for the final saga where the boy finally puts a plan into action during which he finally explains... Picture this with lots of Love is War/Death Note monologues and mind games going on.
Let's call this My Wishful Salvation (僕が望む救い/Boku Ga Nozomu Sukui/The Salvation I Hope For). The tale of a boy who is warned of his imminent death by a magical creature if he stays in his abusive household.
I don't really have much stuff to add to the plot rn, because this is already incredibly detailed, but I can suggest some names for the characters (with the addition of a few)!
Cereus Desjardins, the main character, eventually develops moon magic, reads a lot, withdrawn, no title yet due to age
Dill, a creature disguised as a regular house cat who warns Cereus of his imminent doom, they fulfill the role of basically a Ryuk, doesn't interfere much, but the mc can explain his thought process and plans out loud to them
Calendula Shae, a maid in the manor who often assists Cereus and eventually gets involved in the escape plan, might be doomed by the narrative, still a stepping stone :(, has minor telekinetic powers (think Inko Midoriya)
Grand Duke Viscum Desjardins, the father and head of the house, enhanced strength and endurance, can turn into a manticore, serious anger management issues, loves his wife
Grand Duchess Salvia Desjardins, the mother and lady of the house, managed the manor more actively before growing weaker, can spy through butterflies/moths she an summon, (un)intentionally emotionally manipulative, kind of a control freak, secretly loves the attention her sick spells get her
Lady Marigold Desjardins, quiet, headstrong, cruel, mind control powers, probably turns Calendula against Cereus once
Lady Lithop Desjardins, ruthless hunter, doesn't take shit, closest to Cereus, can take on traits of animals, sorta has blood lust
Lady Gardenia Desjardins, airhead, daydreamer, more dangerous asleep than awake, sleep walks, manifests her dreams when sleeping
Lord Alyssum Desjardins, booksmart, inventor type, also close to Cereus, most reasonable, generally kind, controls metals
Lord Datura Desjardins, golden child, wants to make his father proud, pretty much the most active bully, thinks being cruel to Cereus will get him more acknowledgement from his father, can cause hallucinations, mostly horrible ones
Sir Kudzu Takenoko, head butler, undying loyalty to Viscum, teleportation powers
Ivy Knotweed, Salvia's personal maid who gets negligent when her Mistress falls sick and steals stuff has invisibility powers, knows all the gossip
