I didn't want to post this while Muggle Studies was still in full swing cause I didn't want Alicia to feel like I was stepping on her toes, but her lesson made me notice something and gave me an idea.

There's a 70-odd year gap in between where we are now OOC and where we are IC, which means that pretty much none of the media we consume on a day to day basis could be considered "current" or possibly even relevant in the IC timeline. A lot of the things we like today will probably have gone the way of I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, or The Wizard Of Oz - that is to say, shown on specific channels or at special times, if they'd even have that type of staying power. It's hard to gauge with it all being current, you know?

And, as I mentioned, we have a 70+ year gap. Which means we have 70+ years of other media that would have been current, then recent, then older, then old. And Muggle media is constantly updating and refreshing and putting out new things too, so there's... a lot of stuff that could have been put out up til "now". So I figured... why don't we fill that gap, especially since we have a lot of crossover what with wizards being into shows and music and stuff?

Since it seems the thing to do, I created a spreadsheet for Muggle Media.

I have a few shows on there for myself that I created especially for Jaemin. Two of them are still currently airing in the canon timeline and they all have quite a few episodes? I figure since shows are so HUGE we can make most or all of them collaborative efforts among all of SS - so, for example. I created Smash Melonball, Universal Knowledge, and Flipswitch, but anyone can feel free to create their own episodes and add them to the episode tab on the individual pages for each show! The show creators should still have the power to accept or reject an episode (I feel like that should be a given because these shows are kinda our babies) but I think as long as the episodes stay in the spirit of the show and don't actively undermine the creator's intent, nothing should get turned away. So like, don't kill off their main characters or anything, but add in other stuff, you know? Collaborative creativity gets me ALL EXCITED.

Also, if you feel like a movie or series would have gotten a reboot, add that too! We've seen so many reboots of older movies in recent years that we can't really say that it won't happen in the future too - whether it be in 2030 or 2050 or 2089.

I just thought it would be really cool to have us fill in not only our Wizarding World canon, but our Muggle canon as well, because we have so many characters that are impacted by it or grow up in it.
