its the first fucking scene of the whole 177 episodes show and they are already gazing into each other's eyes
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 was rewatching the second episode of AAA and Lilia fully side eyeing Agatha bc she’s way to close to her personal space is hilarious
Trying to prove a point to my classmates
I’m terrified, why they built the same tho-
truly nothing about house md prepares you for wilson. he's fucking insane. he's been divorced three times. he's the only person who can scheme just as well as house. he gives a patient his own liver bc he felt bad for him - a patient who didn't even know wilson's name. btw. he noticed a patient had depression bc he never mentioned his grandkids. he starred in a porno. he dosed house with antidepressants for several weeks. he allowed his boybestie and his gf to share custody of him and didn't even try to stop it. house told him to buy a piece of furniture that represented who he was, and he bought a $4000+ organ for house. he was gonna torpedo his career to talk abt euthanasia bc one of his patients suffered longer than he had to. he let house move into his 1 bed apartment bc his therapist thought it'd be a good idea. this man would do anything for anybody if they let him. he'd fucking quit his job to save a snail off the sidewalk. bro is not normal in the slightest
Oh no
That was quick
BRUH
LOOK AT HOW MANY THERE ARE
THERE ARE NEVER THIS MANY IN A PACKET FOR THE OTHER BRAND
THIS IS SO NICE
AND THEY TASTE AMAZING
WOOOOOOOOOOOO
Now, can I just say how epic and cool the Season 3 Monster is in Stranger Things so far?
my pirate / royal marauder au :
regulus and sirius are princes, james and remus are pirates.
(along with placements of other marauder era characters who don’t contribute to this post)
so they (james remus and other) are all looting their mansion/castle and James is getting close to Regulus’s room, granted he is being chased that way by guards (aurors?)
and regulus yanks him into his room, “listen to me and you listen fine you ill mannered barbarian. you better zip it and keep it shut because i swear on merlin’s green earth if you get caught around my room and get me even more limitations you will with you never stepped foot in Gimmauld.”
and just like that James (possible masochist) Potter has love in his heart.
