The Scooby-Doo Project (1999)

The Scooby-Doo Project is a Halloween special that aired in commercial segments during Cartoon Network's Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! marathon on October 31, 1999.

Each "commercial" was a mix of live action handheld footage with traditional hand drawn animations which parodied its source material, The Blair Witch Project (1999), very well. You can watch the 20 min youtube video (linked above) which pieces all of the segments together.

Sabrina very helpfully included a pre-filled card with justifications in her submission. In the future, if you want to jump the line of submissions, adding a pre-filled card will do it! Sources are not necessary but I'll start including them in the post too.

Sources:

Scooby Doo (2002): ideal of purity; betrayed by "friend" (scrappy); sacrificed; declared chosen one

Scooby Doo in "Where's My Mummy:" followers await the return

Scooby Doo & the Witch's Ghost: protects people from demonic harm

Scooby Doo (general): humble occupation; absolves people of sin; nice & kind; friend of outcasts

House of the Dragon season 2 review

Highlights:

Better Aegon.

Criston becoming a decent character.

Giving Rhaena parts of Nettle’s subplot.

The idea of Daemon’s vision quest in theory.

Aemond trying to get shit done, what a king 👑

Lowlights:

Literally everything else.

Not a single redeeming female character. Not a single one.

Alicent is a punk bitch.

Rhaenyra is fucking stupid.

Why. Would you make Mysaria, the sneaky worm lady, a pacifist philanthropist?

Helaena reduced to pacifist spoiler machine when she could've been a confused oracle with her own arc.

Where 👏Are 👏The 👏Battles👏?

Nothing happens even when stuff is happening! No one's death means anything!

Dialogue sucked. How many more moody shots of characters staring into the middle distance and meditating on the unfairness of the world do we need?

“The innocents” MAN FUCK THE INNOCENTS THIS IS WAR.

They neutered and sidelined my boy Corlys! His subplot deserved more.

Daemon’s vision quest should have lasted 2 episodes tops.

Stop with the “sOnG oF ICe&fIRe” omg so stupid.

We don’t need forced queer rep from Rhaenyra and Mysaria of all people 🥴

The dragonseeds plot development happens in the most scooby doo way possible.

While giving Rhaena more to do is good in theory, having a dragon roam freely has consequences for the lore.

Honestly what the show chose to include and not include is baffling. Why drop Jace’s time in the North? Why not show Rhaena attempting to tame Seasmoke instead of referencing it in passing? Why include another shot of Alicent looking depressed? Why is Gwayne there if he doesn't do anything? Why show a Rhaenyra and Alicent sleepover multiple times??

In conclusion, hollywood feminism and stupidity ruined hotd. Don’t let the media gaslight you into thinking otherwise, this show is sexist as hell and butchers the source material.

Ghost Worldbuilding—The Mysteries of the Malumary (Part 1)

More Ghost worldbuilding

A few months ago I made a post where I came up with a name for a Satanic version of the Rosary: the Malumary. I grew up Catholic (albeit not in a particularly devout environment), and while I no longer follow that faith, I still find myself intrigued by the aesthetics and rituals of the Rosary, which was why I was inspired to come up with a Satanic version for the Ghost fandom. After I came up with the name I found myself thinking more about what praying the Malumary might look like, and I began thinking about what the Mysteries of the Malumary might look like...

Before I go into more detail, a disclaimer: I am not a Satanist, a Christian, or a theologist, and I don't have nearly enough knowledge about any faith for this to be taken seriously. This is merely me having fun with what we in the Ghost fandom affectionately call "Scooby-Doo Satanism", and is meant purely for the purpose of worldbuilding within the context of Ghost fanworks. With that understood, allow me to begin...

I'm assuming most people don't know what the Mysteries of the Rosary are, so allow me to summarize: The Mysteries of the Rosary are meditations that focus on significant events in the life of Jesus (and to a lesser extent, the Virgin Mary). There are twenty Mysteries total, divided into four sets of five, with each set unified by a particular era/motif. Each time you pray the Rosary you are meant to pick one of the four sets and contemplate on the five Mysteries within that set as you pray, focusing on one Mystery for each "decade" (set of ten beads). Each Mystery also has an associated "fruit", or spiritual goal (e.g. humility, purity, etc.), but I'm saving that for future posts.

I'm not going to go into a ton of detail about the Rosary's Mysteries, but I think taking a quick look at them can help with understanding the concept a little better. In chronological order, the Mysteries of the Rosary (and the associated eras/motifs for each set) are:

The Joyful Mysteries (Jesus's birth and early life)

The Annunciation

The Visitation

The Birth of Jesus

The Presentation of Jesus at the Temple

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

The Luminous Mysteries (Moments that revealed Jesus's divinity)

The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan

The Wedding at Cana

Jesus's Proclamation of the Kingdom of God

The Transfiguration

The Institution of the Eucharist

The Sorrowful Mysteries (The Passion and death of Jesus)

The Agony in the Garden

The Scourging at the Pillar

The Crowning with Thorn

The Carrying of the Cross

The Crucifixion and Death of our Lord

The Glorious Mysteries (Jesus's resurrection and the glory of God)

The Resurrection

The Ascension

The Descent of the Holy Spirit

The Assumption of Mary

The Coronation of the Virgin

If you're unfamiliar with any of these events, don't worry about it. All you need to understand is how the Mysteries are structured and that their purpose is to encourage followers to meditate on the life of Jesus.

For the Malumary, I knew I wanted the Mysteries to follow the same structure as those of the Rosary, but focused on the life of Lucifer instead of Jesus. I also wanted to include a feminine presence, since some of the Rosary's Mysteries focus on Mary, and the Rosary in general is very much associated with her. The most prominent "evil" feminine figure that gets associated with Lucifer tends to be Lilith, so I decided to incorporate her into some of the Mysteries.

Just like with the Rosary, I've grouped the Mysteries for the Malumary into four themed sets of five. They're not quite as chronological as the Rosary's, but this is to be expected since I'm cobbling them together from many different sources of inspiration (the Bible and other Abrahamic texts, medieval and modern literature, folklore, pop culture, my own imagination, etc.), and some of them are events that haven't happened yet but are prophesized. I'll be delving into each set of Mysteries more deeply in future posts, but here is a brief description of the Mysteries as an introduction:

The Furious Mysteries (Lucifer's transformation into Satan)

The Pride of Lucifer—Lucifer's refusal to bow to God and acknowledge humans as God's favorite creation.

The Rebellion—Lucifer amasses an army of angels and together they rebel against God.

The War in Heaven—Lucifer and God's armies duke it out in Heaven.

The Fall—Lucifer and his followers lose the War and are cast out of Heaven.

The Birth of Satan—Lucifer becomes Satan and creates his own kingdom in Hell.

The Nefarious Mysteries (Moments when Satan tempted someone)

The Serpent in the Garden—Satan tempts Eve with the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and as a result she and Adam are banished from the Garden of Eden.

The Wrath of Cain—Satan ignites envy and rage in the heart of Cain, leading him to commit the first murder against his brother Abel.

The Trial of Job—Satan and God make a bet to test the faith of God's favorite human Job.

The Temptation of Christ—Satan tempts Jesus in the desert.

The Bargain with Faust—Satan makes a deal with Faust for his soul.

The Lascivious Mysteries (Moments when Satan harvested those crops and fields that others have plowed 😏)

The Departure of Lilith—Lilith refuses to submit to Adam and departs from the Garden of Eden.

The Consummation—Lilith turns to Satan and becomes his first human disciple; the two of them consummate this relationship with the first sexual act.

The Witches' Sabbath—This Mystery is meant to represent all witches/followers of Satan who gained power by devoting themselves to him.

The Unholy Annunciation—Beelzebub appears to the Prime Mover and announces to her that she will bear the Antichrist.

The Conception of the Antichrist—Satan and the Prime Mover conceive the Antichrist.

The Calamitous Mysteries (The end of the world and Satan's victory over God)

The Birth of the Antichrist—The Antichrist is born, which heralds the beginning of the end.

The Seven Seals—The Seven Seals open, releasing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and other abominations.

The Whore of Babylon—Lilith rises as the Whore of Babylon and assembles the abominations.

Armageddon—The final battle for Heaven and Earth.

The Triumph Over Heaven—Satan and his followers finally triumph over God and Satan becomes the ruler of the Earth.

I'm so happy to FINALLY have this written out; it's been so much fun to put together and I can't wait to delve even further. I'll be writing more posts in the near future that go deeper into detail for each set of Mysteries, so keep an eye out for those if you're interested (the green link at the top of this post will take you to my worldbuilding tag). Also! Please feel free to use any or all of this in your own fanworks if you'd like. Keep it as is, tweak it to your heart's content, or use it as inspiration for your own headcanons. At the very least I hope this was an interesting read. 😊

Thanks for reading!
