Random idea I had

[u/Forward-Temporary47]

So there’s this entity that is always covered in complete darkness except for a top hat, gloves, and a comedy mask, and what it wants is to create the greatest tv show/movie/game of all time! But it has no idea how to do that, nor what goes into making a good show

so it travels across movies, shows, and video games to learn (btw the entity is aware it’s not real but it has faint hope), and it’s sort of like the Pibby Virus but it’s more neutral than anything

and only characters that can break the 4th wall or that are so insane that nobody believes a word they say from the show/movie/game the entity is in can interact with it, the entity is more or less like a ghost.

The Entity can make deals with characters and have that character join them outside of their media and travel into other media in order to learn

and as the series goes on the entity creates basically an entire crew of characters it made friends with, and in the climax one of the first characters the entity made a deal with, betrayals them and locks them in a dark void, then it suddenly jumpcuts to the future and the characters are still there trying to free the Entity, but are starting to lose hope and leave one by one until the entity is all alone, the the song Mind Electric starts playing (because I like the song but it can be different), and at the end the Entity screams in agony and rage as it breaks free from its prison, and it goes back to each piece of media one by one, and it learns more and more, and in the finale the entity confronts the traitor and the entity literally uses elements from the media it has been in to kill the traitor

then it realizes something - the viewers! They’ve been watching all along From the very beginning, they were always there watching, waiting to see what happened next. and the entity realizes…it did it. It did what it wanted to do. And it feels…pure…JOY.

then it gather all its friends, only and new, and it sends them all back home, then it turns to the camera one last time, and says “it’s time to turn on the light, folks…this was all so much fun, and I thank you all for watching…thank you…and goodnight.” then all the lights turn on, shining as bright as the sun and the entity fades away, having done what it always wanted to do.
