I don't have much this week, but when playing around with AI last week I had it generate synopses at some point. Some of them were hilarious so for this week I just want to share some.


Ascendance of a Bookworm as a 90s forth wall breaking comedy movie:

Cue the quirky 90s synth music and flashy title card.

Meet Myne, a modern-day bookworm extraordinaire, who just had the unluckiest day ever—crushed to death by her towering book collection. Record scratch. Yup, you heard that right. But instead of the afterlife, she wakes up in the body of a frail little girl in a medieval world where books are rarer than a TV remote that actually works.

Myne looks directly at the camera, eyebrows raised. “Seriously, who writes this stuff?”

Myne's new medieval world is all about swords, sorcery, and an alarming lack of good hygiene. But for Myne, the real tragedy is the lack of books. She pulls out a parchment and quill, giving the camera a deadpan look. “This is what they call a book here. I mean, come on!”

Determined to bring the joys of literature to the masses—or at least get herself something decent to read—Myne sets off on a series of zany misadventures. From negotiating with clueless nobles to outsmarting a guild of suspicious craftsmen, she’s on a mission to revolutionize this bookless backwater.

Montage of Myne getting into all sorts of 90s-style hijinks: almost setting the village on fire with a homemade printing press, getting tangled in a huge scroll, and facepalming at the medieval methods of paper-making.

But it’s not all laughs and giggles. Myne’s got a condition called the “Devouring,” which sounds serious but mostly means she’s got to achieve her dreams before her body gives out. Talk about a deadline! Myne, with a mischievous grin, holds up a sundial. “Tick-tock, am I right?”

Along the way, she’s joined by a quirky cast of characters:

  • Lutz, the loyal sidekick with big dreams and an even bigger heart.
  • Benno, the savvy merchant who’s more interested in profits than prose.
  • Ferdinand, the stern but secretly soft-hearted priest who can't believe he's getting roped into her schemes.

Together, they bumble, stumble, and somehow manage to start a literary revolution, one hilarious mishap at a time.

Myne winks at the camera, a stack of freshly printed books in hand. “Who says you can’t judge a book by its cover?”

So, grab your popcorn and settle in for “Ascendance of a Bookworm,” the 90s comedy romp that proves even a bookworm can change the world—one page at a time.

Freeze frame on Myne holding up a book, while the rest of the cast strikes a pose around her. Roll credits.


Spice and Wolf: A Tarantino-Esque Synopsis

Welcome to the gritty, fast-talking world of "Spice and Wolf," where medieval trade meets modern swagger in a whirlwind of gold coins and razor-sharp wit. Our story kicks off with Lawrence Kraft, a sharp-dressed, smooth-talking merchant with an eye for the next big score. Enter Holo, a feisty, no-nonsense wolf goddess disguised as a sultry young woman, complete with ears and a tail that hint at her wild side.

The unlikely duo teams up in a blaze of bartering brilliance, tearing through bustling bazaars and backwater towns with a mix of charm, brains, and a little brute force when necessary. Holo’s centuries-old wisdom and wily instincts are the perfect foil to Lawrence’s street-smart hustle, creating a partnership as volatile as it is lucrative.

Their journey is a rollercoaster of high-stakes deals and dangerous liaisons, peppered with colorful characters straight out of a rogue’s gallery. From crooked guild leaders to cutthroat competitors, everyone’s out to make a quick buck or stab you in the back. Lawrence and Holo navigate this treacherous terrain with a blend of sardonic humor and ruthless efficiency, leaving a trail of broken hearts and busted heads in their wake.

Amid the chaos, sparks fly between the merchant and the wolf, their banter crackling with sexual tension and mutual respect. But beneath the surface, there’s a deeper game at play. Holo’s true nature must remain hidden, a secret that could spell their doom in a world where gods and monsters are more than just legends.

"Spice and Wolf" is a pulse-pounding, adrenaline-fueled saga where every deal could be a double-cross, and every smile hides a knife. In true Tarantino fashion, it’s a wild ride through a world where the stakes are high, the dialogue is snappy, and the heroes are anything but clean-cut. Buckle up for a tale of love, betrayal, and cold, hard cash—because in this game, it’s all or nothing.

What are you saying? Is there any combination more iconic than Slime tentacle monsters and anime girls? No, there isn't!

Isn't Rudeus more of an FBI case? ;)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The FBI was too busy looking for the mass murder Momonga and his subordinates.

I can’t stop generating them now.

Yeah, right? It's great fun. I should be working right now, but instead, I fed ChatGPT lyrics through Udio.com and got a So I'm a Spider, So What Rap, complete with a Dall-E Album cover. (posted here)

ps: A synopsis in recipe form is genius! My favorite so far.

I tried to get it as a game guide or gaming manual for no game no life but it didn’t generate any good ones.

Cooking with Wild Game as a Adgar Allen Poe poem

In a land of mystic splendor, far beyond the worldly ken, Where the shadows dance and whisper, of the deeds of mortal men, Dwells a tale of cookery, with a chef of skillful hand, Asuta, from a realm afar, now in this enchanted land.

From the halls of bustling Tokyo, to this medieval expanse, He was whisked by fate’s dark whimsy, into a perilous romance. With naught but knives and fervent heart, he braved the forest wild, To tame the game and harvest roots, with methods strange and mild.

O’er the hearths of Morihen, his potions simmer deep, In cauldrons wrought of ancient lore, their secrets he does keep. With Ai Fa, the huntress fierce, by his steadfast side, They conquer beasts and treacheries, on this culinary ride.

In the shadows of the woodland, where the moon’s pale fingers roam, They forge a bond, both fierce and sweet, in this newfound home. The tribe, once wary of his art, now savors every bite, For Asuta’s touch, both deft and light, brings solace to their night.

Through battles grim and whispers dark, they navigate with care, Each recipe a testament to the spirit they both share. For in each dish, a story’s told, of cultures intertwined, Of courage, love, and flavors bold, in harmony combined.

So, readers, if your heart is brave, and hunger stirs your soul, Embark upon this epic quest, let “Cooking Wild” unroll. In pages rich with magic’s scent, and culinary dream, You'll find a world where shadows dance, and nothing’s as it seems.

A Rap about I'm a Spider, So What?

(click album cover for the song)

Lyrics

Yo, I woke up one day, man, what a surprise, Reincarnated as a spider, see the fear in my eyes. High school girl, now I'm webbing up the lies, Dungeon deep, gotta creep, where every monster dies.

So I'm a spider, so what? I got venom in my veins, In this labyrinth of pain, gotta use my brains. Climbing up the levels, ain't playing no games, I'm a spider, so what? Breaking out of the chains.

Monster battles, yeah, I'm learning on the fly, Magic spells, spinning webs, reaching for the sky. Skills upgrading, evolution’s what I try, Survival of the fittest, you can bet I won't die. Plot thickens, yeah, conspiracies unfurl, I'm a tiny arachnid, but I got a big whirl. From human to spider, I'm a diamond, not a pearl, Weaving through the challenges, watch my web swirl.

So I'm a spider, so what? I got venom in my veins, In this labyrinth of pain, gotta use my brains. Climbing up the levels, ain't playing no games, I'm a spider, so what? Breaking out of the chains. Yeah, I'm a spider, so what? Ain't afraid of the dark, In this dungeon, I'm the queen, leaving my mark. From web to world, this is just the start, So I'm a spider, so what? I got the heart.
