I'm doing Shrek the musical with my school and it's got a bunch of weird lore now. Basically this is the stuff we come up with between scenes and during improv.
#1: What happened to Papa Bear?
I play Mama Bear and... there is no Papa Bear. Baby Bear and I have an ongoing joke. Whenever someone mentions Papa Bear, baby does a creepy smile and rubs her hands together. Then I say,
"Baby, not again!"
#2: Baby Bear's Drama
My daughter, Baby Bear was dating The Ugly Duckling and they were briefly engaged before they broke up because The Ugly Duckling doesn't like chicken nuggets. but like he is a bird so...
Now Baby Bear is dating the White Rabbit but multiple people still ship #BabyDuckling. Donkey says Baby Bear is struggling with male validation because she grew up without a stable father figure.
#3: Everyone ships #WoodenCookie
So in Freak Flag the entire plot of the song is Pinocchio is depressed and Gingy tries to cheer him up. So we all ship the characters now. Like they have such a fun dynamic. I once commented that the two of them were constantly fighting over who was the leader of the Fairytale Creatures. Gingy says its Frenemies to Lovers.
Dumb things we've done:
Wolf: (During Pinocchio's monologue in Freak Flag)You're not the main character, puppet!
Pinocchio: Actually I kinda am.
