Mystery Inc. but it’s the 1890s

Who had late Victorian Scooby Doo on their 2024 bingo card? Hmm?

The idea came to me when I was thinking about Sherlock Holmes and then remembered the iconic mystery solving gang hehe

now that ive had time to experience the vague concept of thought i think my onion is,, we all know the gang are terrible ppl and that thats the whole ass point and that they could never have a lasting relationship outside of each other but the issue has been more with the ethics of shipping macdennis due to their behavior with each other, after they power dynamic in their rs kinda shifted around mid-series ppl have been calling out dennis for being abusive to mac and that its too one sided and i think its good that this ep showed that theres issues on both sides to how they treat each other, theyre both fucked up abusive traumatized ppl and i think this just showed its not as one sided as ppl like to pretend it is. in sum of ree basically i dont think shipping macdennis is any more…. morally negative than it was before and also that dennis being uncomfortable with some of macs behavior and advances is valid but doesnt mean that he cant or doesnt deep down have romantic feelings for mac as most of us have suspected for a long time he has and he’s just not ready. anyways dennis said wig

​extremely well-rounded characters that are at the same time both horrible and endearing people we can sympathize with by understanding some of their history and reasoning behind the bad behavior

there’s a lot of love in there for each other member of the gang but they still often exacerbate one another’s faults and are cruel because of their own

do you really think this was a public condemnation of both chardee and macdennis?

absolutely not. rather than criticize the romantic dynamics between the gang, i think the purpose of this episode was to provide commentary on how sexual harassment is still overlooked in many aspects of our society, as well as to elucidate just how toxic each individual member of the gang really is. they’re supposed to be each other’s closest support system but instead they treat each other like shit. tbh if someone watches this episode and their main takeaway is that their ship has been “publicly condemned” then i’m a little bit concerned lol
