Have these ideas ever been done before?

Have these ideas for preferably musicals (and plays)ever been done before? (All rights reserved) And if so what do you think of them? They will be changed and constructed more if I plan on going through with them so these are hugely rough drafts, basically outlines atm.

© The Great American Beverly Hill -
About an older woman named Beverly Hill who was a star in the 1960s but went on hiatus for 23 years due to her feeling like fame was taking a toll on her life and it takes place in 1983. Beverly comes back, out of her hiatus and wants to get back into Hollywood and it follows her journey doing just that. But what she didn't expect was that Hollywood has no roles or place for an older woman like Beverly. (Its about an old woman reclaiming her right to shine)

© The 1955 -
The 1955 is told by an older black man in an old people's home in 2006. He had just turned 79. It starts out with him sitting on bench. Eventually (after some dialogue somewhere I hope) another older, but white man is escorted to that same bench by a nurse and that man has a cane. Eventually the two men get to taking and this is where I see the most comedy being in the show. And then the older black man starts talking about his life in 1955 Tennessee. And he talks about moving into an all white neighborhood, his wife getting pregnant, but having a baby with mixed genetics making her white, and how his wife is shot and afterwards his daughter is taken away because she doesn't look anything like him.

Am I overweight? (I am)

Im about 5'5, my weight sways about 10 pounds from 155-165 depending on whether im pmsing, not losing weight as fast, not as active, wtv. Im bigger and shorter then all my friends. Im 14, gonna be 15 in 2 months. I feel big, little kids tell me Im big, my weight is half that I am a ballerina and sailor and the other half is genetics. My mom looked like me at my age, so did my grandma, they both got older and got taller and thinner (which I hope happens to me) but at the moment no one has ever had feelings for me (like my other, tall and thinner friends). I hate thinking about this because Im trying to feel confident but I cant ignore how I look next to my friends. My bmi would say I am overweight and ik they dont work well for athletes but still. I dont feel good in anything I wear, my chest doesnt fit in nice clothes, I have a hard time getting jeans to fit (sometimes). Overall I feel out of place, and I hope I start growing up soon, I dont want to be this age or size anymore. Am I overweight? (sorry this turned into a rant)

What do female characters need more/less of in movies today?

I hate that all female characters have always been made to fit into boxes, the housewives, the supporting character, the bait to kill off, the sexual figure in a mans story, the whumpee, etc. Now this sounds like a lot of groups, but the issues with them all, really, is that all female characters are their tropes, not characters. I personally think they need to be more human and less perfect adjacent.

I can’t leave the void state

The void state is my favorite method, it’s really easy for me to get into, but only problem is, I can’t shift with it. I can get into the state in 2o minutes, but from there, idk what to do, any advice?

Im so uncreative its sickening

I was watching a video essay and in it it showed Martin Scorsese teaching to a bunch of students this method of writing which is;
Problem -> Metaphor -> Plot

I had gotten my own personal problem on there, I even got a metaphor, and yet, no plot. Nothing came to mind.

Making plot is what Im worst at. Idk why. I make characters so much easier than I can ever make plot. I think in a way Im putting pressure on myself but I literally can't think. I dont want to make anything bad. Even if its my first time writing a screen play/movie. Why does it have to be bad? And why can't I just think and get an idea like everyone else? Why does it have to be so hard for me?

Shifting mentally feels impossible

Every time I try to shift I literally genuinely feel like theres a wall blocking me. I have gotten so close I can SEE my dr before. But when I open my eyes im here. Every other regular try I literally feel stuck. Like its almost physical how limited I feel.
Advice?

What do you guys think of my movie idea?

Hiii I just came up with this idea and I got inspired by getting really into Tarantino movies recently, also the song Pink Elephants on Parade from Dumbo, I’m 14 and I’m mainly interested in performing arts but I wanna know if this is any good

a psychological horror movie where all the characters are afriad of this ‘thing’ and the ‘thing’ is never shown or described, the only thing that is described is the characters fear for it, the claustrophobic shots, and the music and small sound details

And the ending doesn't show you the thing still, but instead showed you the characters demise from this thing. Whether that be insanity, shame (because of a character raping or killing someone in the past), voices (someone being told to do crazy things), etc etc

And when someone at the end walks into the room and sees them all dead, the room is no longer distorted and the dreadful filters are no longer being used, showing that it really was all in their heads and that they let it kill them

Character A - they're being tormented by their past and that they killed somebody
Character B - they're being tormented by their own insecurities
Character C - they're being tormented by the voices in their head
Character D - they're being tormented by the shame of being gay (or really anything to do with sexuality or gender)
Character E - they're being tormented by they're own paranoia (symbolizing the audience) thinking they see things

Probably gonna be called like Pink Elephant or something

Idk I think of movie ideas a lot and I want to know if this seems like any good 🫶

This keeps happening to me (I’m so close)

I just had a shifting attempt and the same thing happens that occasionally, and that I’m lucky to have happen, happened. I felt myself get into a certain state, my eyes started to flutter like crazy while I saw static and my body goes numb. I feel like I am sooooo close to whatever is next. But then, that’s it. I spent what was probably 15 minutes breathing, counting, trying to get calm so something could happen, and it kinda worked but it felt like it was going nowhere. Eventually I opened my eyes and I was back here again. Every time this occasional type of attempt happens to me it’s a dead end. Yet it’s the closest I’ve ever been. I’m so close my subconscious is edging me with my dr. The definition of waving a carrot in front of my face.
I would love to know what this is, what may be stopping me, thoughts, all of it. I want all the commentary please and thank you.

Hate that AI just gave me a fire quote

I’m not someone who enjoys open/gen ai at all, but sometimes when I use google and Gemini is on it comes up with something, like I asked google about writing movies and how to start (hoping to find a Reddit post) and it gave me a long list of links then at the end said, “Stop waiting to feel smart.” I hate that a lot. It just gave me such a good motto and idea because I don’t wanna like live off of something a computer said to me offhandedly.

What is happening

For months now, basically all of 2026 so far, I have not been trying to shift. From time to time I have become incredibly neutral and even happy about my current reality (something I thought would happen. So I simply havent been trying to shift as much. Also I simply havent been able to shift! Every time I try I get nothing. Literally nothing. Closest Ive gotten this year is halfway to the void state. Im pissed. Ofc I am. I don't wanna talk abt how long its been bc ik that isnt good but idk. My tarot cards keep repeating the same things over and over again and idk how to listen to their advice or help myself so idk. Nothings happening. I want to shift. I feel nothing when I try, no indication of anything. And Im always doing awake methods because I don't trust that I'll shift in my sleep so I don't do sleep methods also I put too much pressure on myself and I feel like I don't have any control when I tru those so I don't. Ive been using my cards and google (to tell me what they mean) about my dr(s) but thats it. It feel like Im behind a brick wall and the wall has something against me and it wont let me in because I don't understand its contradictions. Help.

Is it true straight A students always have it the worst at home?

I tried asking google this question and it said that yes, the best, nicest, straight A students are always going through the hardest stuff at home, is this true in your personal experience? Is it true at all? It was definitely true with me, so I wanted to know if it was actually a common theme

My mom wont let me wear a tie back swimsuit (?)

My mom wont let me wear a swim top that ties in the back because when she was my age, boys pulled the strings of her top and she doesnt want it to happen to me, great, but now Im the one in my friend group that has to look lame and wear thick banded swimsuits. I told her if you double knot it its not coming undone before you can feel anybody doing anything. Also thats such a 90s/00s thing to do ppl don't do that anymore. Also I do have a larger chest but all I want is a supportive bra that ties so I can feel like my friends. What do I do and am I overreacting

I feel sort of guilty

Just recently I noticed that all the posters on my walls were white people. This probably isnt a big deal but is it deeper? Because like im not avoiding putting people of color on my walls (btw this also goes for my music and what i watch). Im not at all avoiding people of color (unless its subconscious or smth), idk why Im not more natural about people of color, specifically black people.

But I do think something that might have to do with it is feeling out of place with my family mainly. I think I dry to blend in as much as I can sometimes, even though I dont know it. My family all have green and blue eyes, and then I have brown eyes. I stand out. I don't like it. I dont wanna be the only one. Even though my family (who are my biological family btw) have never made me feel different. I simply am.

Maybe i am trying to blend in
