Velma sticks out as a bit of an interesting choice to include since this is a multimedia crossover fighting game and she’s more of a “smart” character.But in type of character she serves for the team in this game she is coded as a Support (Whatever the full extent of that will mean since Reindog and Steven are also in that grouping).Unlike with this game’s version of Shaggy getting his powers from eating a magic crystal she seems to pretty much be what we expect of her general characterization.
But at least she’s got a decent-looking design and as I said…It would have been disappointing if Shaggy served as the only Scooby-Doo representation is game was getting.At minimum maybe Fred,Daphne,and the titular dog will show up as background characters in one of the stage themes for I would want to see how they’re drawn up for this incarnation.
As someone who has always crushed hard on Velms, I have zero complaints.
I discovered Scooby Doo lore yesterday and had a burning desire to draw cute family stuff.
Scooby’s siblings; Howdy-Doo, Yabba-Doo, Skippy-Doo, and Ruby-Doo!
Since Yabba is different colored from the siblings and parents in cannon, I thought it would be sweet to headcannon that he was adopted when the pups were still little.
It being the month of Halloween, with the actual day right around the corner, I decided I would go looking for something from a spooky fandom to rec for this particular Fanfiction Fridays. Of course, I realized shortly thereafter that I’m not in any particularly spooky fandoms, being a certified scaredy-cat and all. So instead I turned to a fandom that, while not too spooky in practice, is, in fairness, flush with ghosts and monsters in canon. Yes, I’m talking about Scooby-Doo.
I’d never ventured into the smallish Scooby-Doo section on AO3 before, but I was pleased to find a wide variety of fics there, especially fic supporting the Velma/Daphne pairing. Words To Me is one of those, and imagines a world where the Mystery, Inc. gang regularly hunt for-realsies monsters rather than capitalists in masks. Nothing particularly scary happens in this short, sweet fic, unless you consider that the real monster was facing your feelings all along.
[Image description: a two panel comic of the main characters from Scooby Doo. They are having a discussion while seated on a couch. The first panel features Velma (medium skin tone, short brown bob, orange short sleeve shirt and red shorts) and Fred (lighter skin tone, bleach blond hair, Hawaiian shirt, and blue jeans). Velma is saying “What do you believe in now?” and Fred is responding, “Self preservation through love.” The second panel features Daphne (dark skin tone, orange and green hijab, purple slip dress over a long sleeve lilac shirt and joggers), Shaggy (fair skin tone, mid length brown curly hair with goatee, green shirt under green plaid hoodie, and distressed brown pants), and Scooby (a brown Great Dane). Daphne is responding to Velma’s question by saying, “Chupacabra.” Shaggy is saying, “Chupacabra as well.” Scooby is resting his head on the end of the couch looking at the rest of the gang. The third image is the first two images put together. End image description.]
