Because of the Velma show, a lot of people's pitches for a new adult Scooby Doo have Fred coming from a richer, upper-class family. Now, I know that comes from Fred being Mayor Jones's adopted/kidnapped son in Mystery Inc, but we're totally missing a goldmine here.

Fred isn't like Daphne. He doesn't come from a rich family more often than not. In fact, Fred's family history is so strange and convoluted from reboots, off-hand mentions, plot twists, and straight-to-DVD movies that Fred is related to more people than my mom knows people at random restaurants.

The goldmine is that we don't know the truth about Fred's family or parents. Are they the cruise-loving Skip and Peggy Jones from "Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy!"? What about the dangerous Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves of the original Mystery Incorporated? Or what about Mayor Fred Jones Sr?! It's not that last one, but the gist is we don't know who Fred's parents actually are. Fred doesn't know who his parents actually are. You look up "Fred Jones parents" on Google, and THE TOP RESULT IS FREDDIE SHRUGGING IN THE CONFUSION AND HORROR OF IT ALL!

Nobody knows where Fred came from- not even Fred- and maybe that's how it should be...

All these obscure family members and the 5+ potential parents from his overlapping stories... the elaborate traps and random knowledge explained away offhandedly by his shady past... that perfectly happy, preppy attitude untouched by the greed of 1970s capitalists and ghouls... the ascot!

These all lead me to believe that Fred has no parents, rich or otherwise. Fred Jones is a [teenageyoungadultcollegiate] man who awoke one day from nothing, a new consciousness born of the universe, with nothing but a love of learning, a passion for solving mysteries, and a fucking groovy van to help him survive. From there, our dear Freddie made a family for himself, by traveling the world in his van, meeting new people, and picking up the weirdest interests and hobbies.

While the other members of the gang all have families and homes to go back to, Freddie has the mystery machine. That is his home, and his family are the friends he makes along the way- including Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby. Amen.

I'm sorry I'm still stuck on Brennan saying "Come get your boy Rick!" with his full chest

This Black as hell season is really having impact

Deep down you know that William wants to abandon Utah and buy like a big spooky castle where he can be spooky and terrorize an entire small European village.

Nobody warned me there would be british aristocracy in TMP. That's a step too far.

i've solved dipper's sweating problem. puberty anxiety yeah yes all of the above 100%. but after spending two full days in dipper cosplay, the quilted vest does NOT help, my man.

i've cosplayed for six years and done at least 40 full builds, including armor. i've never sweat more than when i'm wearing dipper.

sweet darling boy it'S THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER TAKE OFF THE INSULATED VEST THAT COVERS YOUR NECK I BEG YOU. IT'S LIKE A DAMN SCARF.

On one hand I'd love for most of the milgram cast to be canon lgbt (although Canon cis Muu is really funny in its own way)

But on the other, it's worth remembering the last Canon trans character Yamanaka wrote, whilst beloved also had his identity foreshadowed with non binary flag coloured shoes....

Like that's not a bad thing, but idk if any of the prisoners are on Gin Noto's level

Apparently Tumblr is a place for people who like to complain about every shit, so here I am again.

How is it that we have planets, dwarf planets and moons named after a lot of greco-roman mythological figures but not for Hera or Athena? 93 Minerva is an asteroid you probably never heard of, whereas 3 Juno and Juno are an asteroid and a spacecraft, respectively.

Hermes has little Mercury. Hades has socially distanced Pluto. Even Demeter has a small planet between Mars and Jupiter called Ceres.

"B-but the Milky Way..." Exactly, the Milky Way. Literally our entire galaxy was named after the milk that squirted from her nipple when she realized that baby Heracles was sucking her breast. AKA that one moment when she was genuinely pissed off and probably one of those events she tries to forget.

How is naming a whole ass galaxy after such a myth comforting to her in any way?

I get my counter for Weird Comment and then after that I turn into a normal citizen of this site again. scream into a plastic bag, put it away type of situation

No honestly the more you think about Genshin's 4.2 update the sillier and more unintentionally funny it gets.

4.2 spoilers:

Are you telling me that Arlecchino clocked, within one minute of meeting her, that Furina did not have a gnosis, was probably not an archon, and was a (physically) weak, cursed girl.

Meanwhile, the hydro dragon sovereign who worked with her for 500 years couldn't figure out that Furina had not an ounce of hydro power in her body?

Furina really said "I am the archon."

@ everyone who posts screenshots/gifs of Gale with less or no beard and the creator of the mod:

Yes, the most eligible bachelors who aren't her creepy uncle are gay, barely reach her navel, or had a bomb placed in her head

But love endures

With all the people who said they loved Jade, I'm surprised she was still ignored like the other human characters. She acts just like your y/n, she's litterally reader
