Velma’s down bad 😭😭😭
Happy Halloween to my fellow muscle fetishists. Here’s a little muscle cosplay for your enjoyment.
What if ‘dog’ is actually a slur in the scooby doo universe and that’s why scooby gets so offended when someone calls him a dog
They're gonna solve a mystery
Thinking about how I would write an adult Scooby-Doo series, because I think it can be done.
The first thing I’d do is make the characters actually be adults. Still young, but adults, in the mid to late 20s range. Mystery Inc. is a private detective type business that they run together. In this universe, the supernatural/ghosts/etc are real, but not necessarily common, so when they take on a case, the culprit might be a person disguised as a monster, or it might actually be a real ghost. The stakes can be higher; sometimes a bad guy is legitimately trying to kill them. Sometimes the mystery they’re trying to solve is a murder. Sometimes they actually get hurt on their cases.
Fred: the core of Fred’s character should be that he’s incredibly kind. Like, give a stranger the shirt off his back kind. The “Fred can’t talk to potential clients because he might take a case for free and we need to eat” kind. He’s an honest and good person and sometimes gets himself into trouble because he assumes other people are too. While he’s not very good at reading people or noticing ulterior motives, he’s brilliant when it comes to mechanical or engineering type stuff, so he’s the one who keeps the mystery machine running, builds their gadgets, and of course, designs the traps.
Daphne: she comes from old money, and her parents absolutely despise her life choices, to the point where they haven’t officially disowned her, but they have basically cut her off, so she doesn’t actually have access to any family money. Growing up wealthy has granted her a variety of skills, including speaking multiple languages, horseback riding, and fencing. She’s very into fashion and jewelry (even if she can’t afford it anymore) and has extensive knowledge of both that can occasionally provide a vital clue in a case. And even though her parents have cut her off, Daphne still has a wide network of contacts she can ask for favors sometimes, because she’s personable, and people tend to like her. Daphne is also very emotionally intelligent, and is usually the one who can spot when someone is lying to them.
Side note - I ship Fred and Daphne, so I think I would start them off as an established couple for this universe. Dating, engaged, married, I don’t care. They are stupidly in love, ride or die for each other. There’s no will they, won’t they, no worries about cheating. They are in a healthy, happy, loving relationship, and no one (not even Daphne’s disapproving parents) are going to mess that up for them.
Velma: she is the forensics nerd who sometimes gets super excited about the wrong thing at the wrong time (”He was mummified in seconds? That’s so cool!” “Velma! His wife is standing right there!” “Oh. Sorry.”). She’s not purposely insensitive, she just gets laser focused on her work and forgets to filter herself sometimes. She’s also the one who can get so fixated on solving whatever mystery they’re working on, she’s willing to bend or maybe break laws. Is breaking and entering really so bad? Not if it gets them answers.
Shaggy: he is still the comic relief, but he’s the comic relief by being the only person in the group that actually has common sense. He manages the business’s finances, he’s the only one who knows how to cook, and the others tease him for being a coward sometimes, but Shaggy maintains that if a ghost with an axe is coming for you, running is the only sensible option. He should also have a range of random knowledge that sounds useless, but sometimes saves the day (ex ventriloquism, origami, the history of spoons, etc).
Scooby: as this is a universe where supernatural creatures exist, Scooby is an ancient eldritch type being that took a shine to Shaggy when he was a kid, and took the form of a talking dog to befriend and hang out with him. Aside from the talking dog bit and not aging, he never uses his powers in a way that anyone notices. The audience is not told upfront that Scooby is an ancient eldritch being; it should slowly be hinted at throughout the series so the audience put it together, but the characters never realize it. Scooby genuinely considers Shaggy to be his best friend, and cares about the rest of the gang too.
The marauders for Halloween:
James Potter as Fred Jones.
Lily Evans as Daphne Blake.
Peter Pettigrew as Velma Dinkley.
Sirius Black as Scooby-Doo.
Remus Lupin as Shaggy Rogers.
Their thoughts:
Remus: Wtf am I wearing?
Sirius: Woof. Woof. I am Scooby-doo and I going to lick your face off.
Lily: My idea backfired to me. And why the heck is James, Fred?
James: Yes my idea is working and soon me and Evans are going to kiss....
Peter: I did not sign up for this. I am going to tell Voldemort about their position of their first born child as Revenge!
In the middle of the night i (randomly) thought that metallica looks like the Scooby Doo gang so here it is
Tis the season, so I'm having scooby doo brainrot. I know it's not in your bio, but it is well-known enough I thought I'd ask anyway. Any headcanons you'd like to provide for Mystery Inc would be welcome, although I specifically want your two cents on whether or not Shaggy is a stoner, and whether or not the mystery gang is a polycule in any sense.
Oh man I am not very knowledgeable about Scooby-Doo at all, but I'll give it a whirl (sorry if they're bad lol)
For a long time, Fred, Daphne, and Velma tried their hardest to not let Shaggy and Scooby-Doo know that McDonald's exists. They would go to decent lengths to make sure they never passed a McDonald's while driving, and whenever the two would hear about McDonald's from TV, the three would convince them that McDonald's was only a thing in movies or it was only in their heads. This worked for a bit, but soon, they stopped falling for this and found a McDonald's, but the three still take intentional detours to avoid coming across any
As for is Shaggy is a stoner, I'd say not. Although he fits the vibe, it's not good for dogs to smell it and REALLY isn't good for them to eat it. I feel like he tried it once or twice and gave some to Scooby, but he got really sick and had to be rushed to the vet. Shaggy didn't have any for a while, but when he picked it up again, he made sure to do it away from Scooby, but he could still smell his breath and it made him wanna puke, so Shaggy stopped
As for the polycule thingy, I dont really know. Honestly, I barely know what it is, but a quick Google tells me that (and this could be very wrong, in which case I do apologize in advance) it's a group of people connected by current and/or past relationships. If this is the case and I don't have it wrong at all, I can see it. Daphne and Fred seem to have something going, as do Velma and Daphne, and I've seen some things about Shaggy and Velma possibly dating in the past
