So I just finished reading part B of Mahabharata, and I like the stories but I feel like it's just kind of everywhere at the moment. To me, it seem like the storylines and twists are just sprinkled throughout. Anyway, continuing with my theme of using reading notes as mainly story suggestions, here are two ideas I really liked and thought about for a story:
- A group therapy session with both Arjuna and Rama to recover from their years in exile.
- They could be competitive ("Who got it worse?") and try to one-up each other!
- Both should act reluctant at first because their wives forced them into therapy.
- One of the gods should play the therapist.
- In the end, they realize that both situations were horrible anyway.
- Arjuna and Rama become best friends (?)
- OR they hate each other and go complain to their respective wives, saying they never want to go back again.
- AU (Alternate universe) where Yudhishthira is a gambling addict at an underground casino.
- Yudhisthira should go by a different name or at least have a nickname/code name.
- Yoshi, Y, Thira, Ty, etc.
- He runs out of money and the only thing the owner of the casino wants is Draupadi.
- Yudhisthira doesn't want to bet her just yet so he bets his brothers instead.
- They play an all-or-nothing game, which Yudhisthira ends up losing.
- Because he doesn't like to lose, he finally bets Draupadi but still loses...
- The story should end with his inner monologue of his nervous anticipation about how he's going to bring up the news to Draupadi and his brothers.
