#gave in bc CLEARLY she'd figure it out on her own anyway and ''apparently colleges like that sort of thing'' so she took her creative hopes

bailor as my scooby-doo mutual what instruments do you think the mystery, inc. gang would play and what are your thoughts on daphne as a bassist. there are no wrong answers i just want to hear your thoughts :]

first of all SO HAPPY TO BE YOUR SCOOBY-DOO MUTUAL... your scooby-dootual if you will..

second of all daphne on bass is SO SO SO SO GOOD i feel like daphne was definitely put in All The Extracurriculars as a child (that's partially how i excuse / make sense of the different writers on scooby doo constantly changing her personality) so she's probably tried out flute, violin, and piano but she eventually convinced her parents to let her do guitar lessons and got hooked, managed to ask them for a bass sometime in middle school and never went back, it completely fits her personality and i love it!! i could also see her rocking the saxophone

fred has major band kid energy i don't even know why i just KNOW that boy was in marching band. listen he may be canonically a cheerleader but scooby doo canon is such a mess i think this man was a percussionist i think it fits in with his many talents not to mention how he kinda is a soul of the group in the sense that he keeps them going and keeps them on their feet, like how percussionists set the rhythm for everyone else around them :) i think he was frequently put on snare and tomtoms but he secretly loved doing the bells most

i feel like velma has tried her hand at a few different instruments but none of them really stuck, definitely played the cello in high school but wasn't great at it?? she enjoyed it in theory but she never had time for it because she was so busy with her academics and most of her non-school life was devoured by her work with mystery inc (and she loves it, obviously) so she had to leave it behind. but she's also the sort of person who, using the skills she learned from orchestra, could probably figure out any string instrument pretty well within a few minutes messing around with it and manage to tune it and then pluck out a recognizable melody. fun party trick, for sure. not sure if this counts but she was also prob really good at the recorder in elementary school like SCARY good and she knew all the little songs and she didn't really make it sound /good/ bc it's the recorder but she was a quick learner and she can still whip out her recorder skills at the drop of a hat. it's all muscle memory.

shaggy definitely plays the clarinet. not sure if i need to elaborate.
