By the way, since Lilia experiences the entire timeline at the same time and not linearly, she's known her coven for her whole entire life, all 450 years of it—even if she doesn't realise it until the end.
They've always been there, because the flow of time is an illusion. They've always been with her. And as she reads her tarot spread, she realises it.
They're her family.
They always have been.
The gaps finally filled it.
She didn't die in a fake reality to save a group she'd known for 24 hours.
She died to save a group whose presence she's felt in her heart for hundreds of years.
Whose presence she lacked, like a memory she couldn't grasp. Nostalgia she couldn't quite place anywhere. Nostalgia for something you've never even had.
Because she had them.
In the future—she always had them.
And she was always going to protect them.
And even in death—
She's still with them.
Still fighting to protect them.
The Mystery Gang are all actually friends and hang out together at each other’s houses and make jokes and act like real teenagers
We also see their families for the first time and they’re all great. Daphne has a huge house and 4 sisters, Shaggy is weirdly rich as well, Fred lives in a McMansion with the mayor (adoptive father), and Velma’s parents run a museum dedicated to the Gang’s solved mysteries (all of which are references to the 1969 series)
Scooby beats up a robot dog with a forklift and quotes Alien
There’s a very Twin Peaks-esque episode in the second season, complete with the red stripy room
One of my favorite episodes has a parody of Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground
The art style is GREAT
The Hex Girls are, like, friends with the Gang and help them out sometimes
(They’re also very hot please step on me)
In the 2nd season, the monsters are real more and more often, and also magic is very much real, which has a whole host of implications for the world
Lewis Black, the comedian (aka Anger from Inside Out) plays a character named Mr. E who acts as a Cigarette Smoking Man-type instigator of mystery
The writers got reallllly close to having Velma and Marcie (aka Hot Dog Water, on account of her wool sweaters) be a couple. They’re not in the final show, but they’re still v queercoded. Marcie also spends some offscreen time in prison.
Every character gets the chance to show their smarts. The Gang is decently knowledgeable in true crime, chemistry, and trap-building (Fred) and it shows
Fred is obsessed with building traps to the point that his house is filled with them. Autistic king
Fred and Daphne have a healthy relationship that ebbs and flows and they work through it in a realistic way
Velma and Shaggy also have a realistic breakup and accept that they’re better off as friends. The romantic relationships in this show are great, y’all
Scooby gets a girlfriend, but it’s not forced because she’s actually an alien who gives an exposition dump
Oh yeah there’s aliens too
In one episode it’s revealed that every generation has a group of four people with an animal mascot, and the Scooby Gang are just one part of a repeating cycle
There is actual death (mostly offscreen)
And, last but not least:
Shaggy’s favorite music genre is polka
I couldn't imagine he would just roll over and surrender. Oh, you need to kill me for your prophecy thingie? Okay, sure! Stab me right here!
This line brought back VERY SAD memories all the way from the Percy Jackson series.
Instead of Bucky and Sam being horrified by Rogers the Musical, I’d like to suggest that they actually co wrote it

Let's fuckin get it there, yeah?
no the POINT is NOT that rio was the first person to ever show agatha love blah blah soft girlfriends battling the trauma of abuse NO
the POINT is that THE PERSONIFICATION OF DEATH saw a human being so DEVOTED to the act of living that they COULD NOT comprehend dying and fell in LOVE with her and that HUMAN BEING saw this entity that NO ONE is meant to survive and and fell in LOVE with her
the POINT is that they EXIST in PERFECT tandem and in COMPLETE contradiction to each other. the POINT, the IRONY, is that they give each other exactly what they need, but must take from each other the only thing they want.
More coming in 3... 2...
One of them is slightly terrifying in its own dog like way.

oh so when wanda maximoff creates an alternate universe to deal with all of her trauma she's "super impressive" and "the most powerful person in the mcu" but when i do it i'm "using unhealthy coping mechanisms" and "should go to therapy" smh so tired of these double standards
imagine if all the non-canon/semi-canon aspects of dream smp were just happening in an alternate timeline. the dreamon hunters are currently busy teaming up with the badlands to fight off the egg. fundy and dream are going to couple's counseling after their wedding was interrupted. mr. beast is there and hosts regular treasure hunts for fun. schlatt is scamming people with the cuck shed. wilbur is still president. quackity and tommy are happily running a drug cartel. life is good.
“Yeah, I’m a new student.” “Well, welcome to Gotham University! What’s your major?” “Criminology.” “What dorm are you in?” “Oh, I live off campus. My Aunt Pam owed a favor to my mom, so I live with her and her partner, my Aunt Harley.” “Excuse me?!” “It’s not as bad as you think.”
