πŸ“Ί TRAPPED IN A SITCOM πŸ“Ί

Have you ever wished for the perfect life just like those old shows on TV? Where everything works out by the time the credits roll? Where everyone is nice? A life with a cute house and a white picket fence? Like something right out of a 1950s sitcom? How do you fit in to this world? Do you have powers or abilities you have to hide because they just don't fit in with a sitcom? Do you have to change your habits? Or do you keep these things a secret?

But as perfect as it all there are hints that something isn't right. Cracks in the perfect faΓ§ade begin to show. Maybe you see things that remind you of the life you used to have. Or you hear a voice calling for you. Something just doesn't feel right the more you think about it. Do you decide to fight back or stay in this so good it's actually creepy world? Because no matter what you do things begin to change, your overly sweet nosy next-door neighbour may be prone to super-powered acts of violence. The old man down the street who's always looking after his flowerbeds may have a garden full of dead bodies and plans on killing you next. The more you fight the more the world and everyone in it starts to turn on you.

Whatever is keeping you here wants you to stay - dead or alive.

RULES:
1. Top level with your preferences and some ideas for the type of sitcom you'd like your character to be trapped in (here are some sitcom tropes for ideas).
2. Tag each other. Profit. Have fun!
3. Don't be an asshole.
4. Please note in your subject header for any violence, gore, smut or dub/non-con.

[ So one day, you're just minding your own business, playing video games while your genius boyfriend does his taxes like a nerd, and the next, you're tugged through the multiverse and end up playing yourself, but like in High School. Except, this is a half-competent high school version of yourself, where you're on the track team, and you didn't flunk out and end up in juvy. A version where your spooky metaphysical mom is actually your real mom, and she's a housewife, and it's actually pretty okay.

Oh, what, that's never happen to you? Well you must not be Thomas Shepherd, who's getting pretty used to being tugged into the multiverse against his will at this point. Sorry, Tommy Maximoff. Shepherd Who? He's always been Tommy Maximoff. And right now, he's trying to sneak past mom through the kitchen, because it's almost 11 and he should have been home an hour ago. Maybe if he goes really fast. ]
