#like a scooby doo thing

[nostalgicfun]

Feel free to share which is your favorite NOW in the tags, but this particular poll is about which you preferred as a child! ⭐ These are being grouped by a vague theme, so in a few days we'll do another one with more options!

Also, same rule as the last poll: REALLY popular choices (ATLA, SpongeBob, Scooby Doo, Pokemon, etc.) are overwhelmingly popular and have been omitted for the sake of seeing the results for other shows.

Notes: These are shows involving live action characters, no cartoons this time! The timeframe for these polls is generally "I was a kid in the mid-to-late 90s or early 2000s." Mister Roger's Neighborhood and Sesame Street are both multi-generational so they were not included to be fair to the show's with shorter runs 💖

#bear in the big blue house is going to sweep this isn't it? I don't consider it to be a titan though (like Scooby Doo/Spongebob/etc) #just very beloved so I included it <3 #also the explanations on these things keep getting longer because of all the ''where is _____'' comments sdfghjkl #polls #talking #nostalgia #nostalgic

Hi. Look at this.

I just spent two days straight making a digital conspiracy board trying to piece together my favourite genre that isn't really a genre and more just a very particular niche which doesn't really have a name.

If you want to look I reccomend downloading and zooming in on the image to read everything LMAO, I want to try and convert it to a page on my neocities at some point so its easier to view but for now you guys just get a big ol' jpeg. You're welcome :)

#THIS IS ALL ABOUT ME TRYING TO LIKE BREAK DOWN A SUB-GENRE I'VE NOTICED like thats the main thing i'm trying to do here #its so broad but also so specific and trying to explain it is hard #so i made this #welcome to my twisted mind etc #just realised i forgot to include Long Exposure :( #i'm actually posting this a day later cause it was like 4am when i finished this #gravity falls #psychonauts #coraline #paranorman #sequel post to my one from a few days ago which got way more notes than i expected asedrjthgdrf??? #this is a wip also i still wanna edit things and add things later #need to improve my silly lil' sticker labelling system #mystery kids #should i tag a few more of the things i included? at least the bigger things???? uhh #i'll tag #scooby doo #at the very least since i dedicated a whole corner to them #fandom conspiracy board #is that a thing is this a thing people normally do #idk #it's satisfying though i like it #enrichment for me :)

They're off to see the wizard! The wonderful wizard of Oz!!

I actually started this last month and then got burnt out and didn't finish it until now but whatever I FINISHED IT!! I finished watching Scooby Doo and Guess Who last month and there's a Wizard of Oz parody in the last episode and I just knew I had to do fanart, a legal requirement if you will.

I kept Shaggy, Fred and Velma's costumes from the episode the same but I thought Daphne and Scooby deserved costumes that were a bit more personal too. But who would the wizard in question be?? Well don't worry because I drew art for that too!!

I just can't stop thinking about a proper direct to DVD scooby WOZ parody film and how Van Ghoul should be the wizard, like in my head it's perfect.

#my art #scooby doo #scooby doo fanart #daphne blake #fred jones #shaggy rogers #velma dinkley #mystery incorporated #scooby doo and guess who #vincent van ghoul #mystery inc #the background took so long god it was so hard to figure out #im a not background girlie I mostly do character art so I figured the best way to learn was to draw something I like #idk i looked at other scooby background arts from trick or treat and the other modern movies but I still cannot BG paint I fear #turned out pretty alright though Im happy with it #mad props to background painters cause idk how they do it well I suppose they both know how to do it and enjoy doing it so thats how #but whatever the point is that it impresses me as I drew one and burnt out #but I LOVED drawing that sandwich like listen shaggy and scooby had a point to make when they make those things

i know were long past the pitching our own versions of scooby doo tumblr phase but like if i could write/direct just one single piece of scooby doo media i would do an episode (based on the original like 60s/70s run or thereabouts) where the gang is investigating rumors of vampires lurking around a certain abandoned manor or smth on the outskirts of a small superstitious rural town. pretty standard stuff. they hear about the supposed vampire sightings and decide to investigate. its all going pretty normal until they actually spot one, shrouded in shadow at first, and see them turn into a bat and take flight before their very eyes! its a real vampire!

so this huge bat is swooping and screeching at them and everyones flipping out running all helter skelter but then she transforms again and shaggy and scoob suddenly just. stop.

after a sec shaggy starts to laugh. the rest of the gang is like oh god the vampire did something to him or idk maybe he finally got so scared something in his mind just snapped but shaggy is just like lol guys its ok its just sibella.

and sibella is now fully revealed to be a like young teen lookin vampire girl, a little older than she appeared in ghoul school but def still recognizable. and shes super psyched to see her old teachers again and theyre all like catching up (this so called abandoned house is actually her extended familys vacation home (its their first vacation in a century or so and its fallen into a bit of disrepair ok) and shes visiting with them) meanwhile the rest of the gang is like ????

and shaggys like what? i told you guys about that time i took that job as a gym teacher at that creepy boarding school where the kids were all little monsters

and velmas like ............we thought you were being hyperbolic

and daphne and fred are just like EVERYBODY SHUT UP MONSTERS ARE REAL?? FOR REAL??? NOT JUST OLD DUDES IN COSTUMES???

and shaggy says uh yeah did you guys not think monsters were real? like weve been sayin..

and velma says smth like what are you talking about? every time weve investigated some supernatural phenomenon its always been a guy in costume, how could you possibly have deduced from that that monsters are real??

and shaggys just like .......velma my best friend is a whole Talking Dog

#anyway. #scooby doo #scooby doo ghoul school #thats my pitch and im sticking to it #i like the idea that shaggy has known abt supernatural shit this whole time and while the others like believe in it to varying degrees #theyve never really experienced hard evidence so theyve just kept searching #shaggy has no clue hes the only one who gets it #this is also my reasoning for why him and scoob are more scared than the others #theyre the only ones who have any sense of the actual potential danger #however infrequent their actual brushes with the monstrous are #also i just rly want to incorporate the events of ghoul school into the body of the show somehow #and i love the idea of the ghoul school girls being the first monsters the gang rly comes across AND the only ones shaggy and scooby arent #*arent afraid of #bc theyre just kids guys come on get a grip there are waaay scarier things out there that do actually want to kill and eat u #ANYWAY.

ended up re-reading my unfinished WIP of my original-era scooby doo AU fic last night... maybe... MAYBE... i should at least properly plan out the outline...

(this is a cover from a playlist my friend @budcortfancam made! the songs are all era-appropriate, the idea is that they'd be tracks the gang would actually listen to. while 8tracks that the playlist was hosted on isn't working the way it used to, the post i've linked does contain a tracklist if you're curious)

#scooby doo #there's bits i'd probably change/remove but #honestly? i did enjoy revisiting it #and looking at this drawing #man that really is the VIBE do you understand. my vibe my dream was that it would feel like the start of autumn #the last embers of summer and the promise of adventure #and also it was gonna be about being Deeply In Love with all your best friends. that was the main thing :')

[nemmet]

i can’t believe that be cool scooby doo is a show that actually exists (/pos)

#NOTHING COULD HAVE POSSIBLY PREPARED ME FOR THIS EPISODE #I LOVED EVERY SECOND IT MADE MY DAY #i just think it’s neat that fred canonically knows how to do eyeliner and they treat it as a normal thing and don’t mock him for it #he’s just living his best magician life and i am very proud of him :’) #yet another iconic fred hyperfixation to add to the list #also i typically spell it like ‘freddie’ when it comes to fred scooby doo but i used the ‘freddy’ spelling to keep the pun intact lmao #scooby doo #be cool scooby doo #scooby doo fanart #fred jones #fred scooby doo #fred jones fanart #nem art :) #scooby doo and nemmet too!

sam khalid i understand you. if i were in ur place i would also be afflicted with Curious Little Guy Disease. the whole audience would be yelling STOP FUCKING AROUND OR YOULL FIND OUT. and i would obliviously keep marching toward horror and death trying to solve my silly lil mystery

#tmagp #samama khalid #sam khalid #the magnus protocol #the yellings #my little guy you are going to get urself killed but i can’t judge you bc i would do exactly the same thing #he doesn’t know he’s a horror protag he thinks he’s in like. the scooby doo gang

[carebooks]

Velma (2023) is to Scooby Doo what Teen Titans Go! is to Teen Titans (2003)

#when your show is worse than teen titans go you know you really messed up #and even then the worst thing teen titans go did was just make the script bad and too many fart jokes #velma hates its characters; made them two dimensional; got rid of the main character #but you know what good bc they woulda ruined scooby #they made daphne vapid and dumb; fred’s a misogynistic bully; shaggy isn’t even shaggy; and velma’s judgmental and mean #at least teen titans go likes its source material #i genuinely enjoyed the crossover movie between go! and the 2005 OG’s #also apparently it isnt Teen Titans 2005 it’s Teen Titans 2003; so… sorry about that #i think i put the 5 bc it has 5 seasons? who knows but ya’ll know what im talking about either way #velma 2023 #velma show #hbo velma #scooby doo #velma dinkley #teen titans #teen titains go

i heard a cover of lets go to bed by the cure on tiktok once but i didnt realise it was a cover until they started singing and i said out loud "thats not robert smith" anyway my spidersona lou (lucretia/lugosi) doesnt fight villains she either falls in love with them or takes them along to her goth club

+ just spot (borrowing the coat and accessorites from lou) under the cut

#my art #spiderverse #spot astv #spidersona #spiderverse oc #the spot #jonathan ohnn #ive posted about my spidersona before but shes so odd lol #shes a zombie in love with doc ock and refuses to fight literally anyone she just swings around as an undead menace #this started as an inside joke in our server about how no one in our spidersona group would fight spot cos hes so funny quirky #and i was like lol lou would drag him along to a goth club and have to give him an outfit so he'd fit in #hed be weirded out by everyones fits until he heard the scooby doo ass music #before any gatekeepers come on here yes im goth #i was not up to drawing both of them in full on trad goth i simplified things a bit

The only non yj musing on my blog thus far but it tracks because of the jackie and shauna of it all…

movies where the best friends should’ve been in a romantic relationship (OR their romantic relationship should’ve been explicitly stated to a degree that straight people couldn’t ignore it if it’s intentionally implied!) PLEASE add to this list in tags or something I know we all have a handful of these and these are just the ones that immediately came to my mind because I was thinking heavily about novalee and lexie this morning for some reason

#sarah michelle gellar in her giant hats beloved #every time someone tells me to stop making everything lesbian <3 I make one more thing lesbian <3 out of sheer spite <3 #where the heart is #legally blonde #fried green tomatoes #scooby doo live action #cruel intentions #bend it like beckham #the sweetest thing #thelma and louise

[desnaa]

just watched this commercial for the first time and oh my gosh velma 🥺😭 fuck all cartoon network characters velma is the only valid one. ultimate weirdos protector and literally the kindest and most inclusive person in the room

in conclusion

#what makes it even more 🥺😭 for me is that i know she would stand up for someone like this again even if this was the same result #girl wasn’t doing it for attention either. she just invited someone over because it was the right thing to do #but did not hesitate to speak up once she was made fun of for it #we still need more people like her #velma dinkley #velma #scooby doo #cartoon network #bj ward #mine

[iamlouisebringmethecheese]

in honor of halloweens fast approach i give you the best mystery solvers out there

#scooby doo #scooby gang #fred jones #shaggy rogers #velma dinkley #daphne blake #feed having no catch phrase is the funniest thing to me #like everyone else says something else iconic #and then theres fred #he is iconic in his own right though

[sheriff-clownkins]

why is there so much discourse over characters being good or evil in the Morally Grey/Everyone Commits Murder and Warcrimes book

#jin guangyao #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #nie huaisang #xue yang #mdzs #i could tag more characters but i think these guys get the most flak #listen character analysis is one thing but i'm convinced some of y'all can't read #yeah there are the comically 'evil' characters like wen ruohan and jin guangshan who are meant to garner no sympathy #and the only completely 'good' characters are the literal children #because y'know #there's a clear dichotomy between the generation of teenagers who were forced to fight a war #and the generation of teenagers who are allowed to run around solving scooby doo mysteries #everyone in between is a mixed bag of trauma and conflicting motivations

[weirdassstarbits]

jinkies! (in official lesbian)

#its equally both refreshing and unbelievable like #and by god the way they went about it legit girl crushes (at least for me personally) they bring out the grossest giddiness and like #just its so cute and funny to me the fact that velma is this brilliant investigator with years of successful mysteries debunked and #smokin coco comes in and iM SORRY BUT HER GLASSES LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME AAHHHHHHH #THAT IS SO GOOD I LOVE IT AND ALSO GLAD THAT CANT HAPPEN IRL AAHAHHAHAHHHHHAHAHAHAAAAAAA #velma dinkley #velma #scooby doo #lesbian #wlw #also i cannot believe that this pose was freehand legit the only thing i referenced was her clothes from like the first google image search #holy hell #trick or treat scooby doo #and boy was this a treat!

↳ Fred Jones (Scooby Doo franchise)

#fred jones #scooby doo #scooby doo and guess who #favchara #mygifs #my favorite version of fred is probably what's new scooby doo #but it felt weird to a gifset of an ascot-less fred #it's such an essential part of him #and then i was going to do gifs from multiple things but the inconstencies amongst the art styles #hurt my little neurodivergent brain too much #and as mystery inc (rightly) already gets a lot of love #i decided to do guess who #not crazy about the "celebrity guest gimmick of the show' but it's still pretty great #and so it could use more love #i tried to find scenes where fred was especially adorkable #which tbf is like every fred scene #in most of these he's just so excited to be investigating or unmasking or driving or especially setting a trap #bless him #i love my golden retriever dork son with his hippie van and his mystery special interest #just fyi: i will probably never gif scooby doo again #it's just all this hbo velma discourse inspired a rewatch of good freddie content #and i wanted to show him some love #cause he's such a good boy
