Decided I wanted to redesign the Mystery Inc gang so why not start with the easiest to redesign? Velma! Well easy in the sense she tends to hardly change. Nevertheless hoping to do the rest of the gang eventually! Who would you want to see next?
For my made up world for this reboot series, I imagine Velma is still that super intelligent brainiac she tends to be but I’d also imagine she’s sassy and witty (like the mystery incorporated reboot). I also imagine before joining the gang she is best friends with Marcie (from the Mystery Incorporated series again) and the two were inseparable until Velma went off to solve mysteries. Also for this reboot series idea I imagine they all probably attend college (Coolsville University I suppose?) so the gang would be somewhere between their 18s-early 20s!

Daphne Blake for my university/college au!
Age 21. She's in her first year of Digital Film Production at Coolsville College. She graduated with a diploma in journalism the year before, but decided she wanted to pursue media production. Daphne's goal is to produce her own ghost hunting show! (this is absolutely a nod to zombie island)
Her fashion sense is 70s, but in a thrifty way (shes been dressing this way for years!). Green and purple are her colours, obviously. Daphne loves to wear little accesories like rings and scarves. She also has a friendship necklace that she shares with her bff (can you guess who that is?)
Velma for the au

So, I watched Velma and…
Yeah it’s shit.
Look, if it weren’t for the fact it was trying to pass itself off as Scooby Doo I wouldn’t even be upset. It’s average at best- the jokes aren’t funny and the characters are unlikeable. But you’re trying to tell me that bitch is Velma??? That motherfucker is supposed to be FRED??? No. Not doing it, not a chance.
So I’m rewriting it!
The basic story stays the same, where Velma is accused of a murder because the body was found in her locker. The difference here is that Daphne, Fred and Shaggy are the only people who think she didn’t do it, even if none of them know each other very well. They join forces because four heads are better than one, but the clock is ticking.
Velma accepted the fact her mother had left her, but suddenly, as bodies appear around the town, she starts finding clues that indicate her mother might not have left of her own free will…
The main plot of the show is obviously the murders, with the missing mom being a VERY important B plot.
Velma and Daphne are still childhood friends but this time they didn’t fall apart because of Velma, it’s because they just grew apart over time. They’re pretty awkward around each other until they get their bearings.
I think I may be stealing this idea from someone else, lmk if I am, but Shaggy isn’t a stoner (and dislikes drugs) like in the show but the difference here is that it’s a twist reveal and the rest of the gang are baffled because he totally ACTS high but no, he’s just like that.
I can’t draw dogs but Scooby is I’m this rewrite, he’s Shaggy’s dog, he talks using those button pads that people teach their pets to use to request things.
Velma still has hallucinations, they’re just caused by panic and trying to solve cases makes her nervous for that reason.

(ED MENTION!)
Been rewatching Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. and hyperfixating on small town gothic mystery aesthetics, so here’s my version of the gang if I were to write my own adaptation:
Fred
19, engineering major
6’2”
Autistic
His special interest is traps
Asexual and biromantic, he/him
In a pre-established relationship with Daphne, they’re a ride-or-die couple and can sometimes be sappy to the point that they gross the others out
The heart of the group, brought everyone together, is usually the one to cool down arguments
Decent at cooking but REALLY good at baking
Gets ascots from Daphne every year for his birthday
Knew Velma a little in high school, mainly from physics and math but never got to actually know her until college
Got the Mystery Machine from a sketchy car dealer when he turned 16 and loves the old rust bucket to death
Velma:
18, forensics science major, minor in history
4’11”
Also autistic, self-diagnosed because it’s really hard to get a diagnosis
Lesbian and genderqueer, she/they
Had a crush on Daphne a few years ago, but when Daphne and Fred got together she forced herself to ignore it until it eventually went away
LOVES true crime podcasts, kinda wants to start their own one day
Super blunt and sarcastic, can sometimes come off as rude to the people who don’t know them that well
Struggled with an eating disorder for a while, Shaggy helped her recover and now they’re best friends
Tech wiz
Daphne:
19, fashion design major
5’6”
Pan, she/her
Grew up in a wealthy family with four older sisters, was always pressured by her parents to fit their image of perfection, so she eventually started deliberately doing things to piss them off
Starting a relationship with Fred was the breaking point and now she doesn’t talk to them (she still keeps in touch with her sisters, though)
Natural blonde, dyes her hair
The most athletic out of all of them, used to do gymnastics and dance throughout middle school and high school
Quit when she realized how much it was negatively affecting her body image
Hates when people assume she’s ditzy just because she’s hyperfeminine
Looks mean at first, is actually super sweet
Fascinated with ghosts and cryptids
Loves ‘80s and ‘90s Heathers-inspired fashion
Shaggy:
20, culinary arts major but was undecided for a while
5’9”
Aroace, he/him
Mix of hippie and grunge aesthetic
Definitely smokes weed
Loves ‘70s and ‘80s music
Has a panic disorder, ADHD, and dyslexia
Has seen every classic horror movie to ever exist despite being terrified of them
Everyone assumes the Mystery Machine belongs to him until someone in the Mystery Gang corrects them
Will eat basically any type of food you put in front of him
Shitty relationship with his parents since they have unreachable expectations for him and constantly compare him to his classmates and cousins
Scooby:
Shaggy’s psychiatric service “dog”
Not actually a dog—in reality he’s an alien who crash-landed near Shaggy’s house and took the form of a Great Dane, the Rogers got him trained as a service dog for Shaggy’s panic disorder, and the rest is history
Shaggy still has no idea (although he and the gang do think it’s weird that Scoob can talk)
Despite being a bit of a coward he’d do anything to protect the gang, especially Shaggy
Likes horror movies just as much as Shaggy
Will eat literal garbage if hungry enough (which is all the time)
Started developing doglike traits over the years (barks at people walking by, hates the vacuum, developed a taste for dog treats, etc.)
Also here’s the full body photos i drew:
