What are your favorite scooby doo movies/shows/whatever for fraphne content? Im thinking about doing a binge watch of scooby things for them

i am so glad you asked. please, allow me to guide you to The Archives (it’s a really old library but all of the books are blue and purple and the wall is covered in heart-shaped photos of fraphne)

(i don’t know what you have already watched, so i’m very sorry if i say something that sounds obvious!)

in terms of shows, there aren’t many that are fraphne-heavy beyond the odd joke or cute moment. but then of course there’s mystery incorporated, which cranks everything up to eleven!! their relationship arc is central to the show, and while occasionally frustrating to watch and far from perfect writing-wise, i can’t not smile like an idiot whenever they get a cute moment. big recommend!

in terms of films… again none are particularly fraphne-heavy until you get to the 2010s revival (abracadabra-doo onwards). they act like a married couple in every film from this era regardless of how many Big Moments they get.

but if it’s Big Moments you want… stage fright. it’s a fraphne fanfiction. it’s somebody’s fraphne fanfiction that got made into a film. it’s Mutual Pining: The Movie and i would like to give whoever greenlit it a medal. it’s also the first proper onscreen fraphne kiss in forty years!! this is the film you need if you’re looking for explicitly romantic/canon fraphne. it’s also just a lot of fun in general and one of my favourites!!

another film that i would recommend in a similar vein is curse of the 13th ghost! their arc is not overtly romantic in this film, but rather focused on themselves as individuals and how they complete one another. it’s so lovely and fun to watch, and their exchange at the end of the film is quite possibly my favourite fraphne moment ever. 😭

i’m also going to go back in time a little to recommend zombie island! there’s an element of the frustrating jealously plotline that always seems to pop up for them, but it’s not very central and the rest of their screentime is thus devoted to them being as married as possible. their girlboss/malewife energy in this film is astronomical and i love everything about it!!

other films with several cute moments for them are camp scare and abracadabra doo (which both also rely on the jealousy plotline a bit but otherwise they’re really good), the phantosaur and the sword and the scoob! i’m not fully caught up with some of the more recent films yet, so please feel free to add onto this post if i’m missing something important!

i really hope this is helpful! happy fraphne-ing 💙💜

Help Me Put Joy Into the World on Halloween

Ok. I have never once in my adult life given out candy on Halloween. Ever.  But this year, I just really want to put some joy out into the world. 

So here’s what I’m thinking: 

I put on my Ren. Faire costume (which turned out to be a pretty legit pirate look). I set up a table with a treasure chest of coins, a beautiful table cloth, some (fake) candles, etc. I assemble goody bags with fun little toys, pencils, bubbles, temporary tattoos, etc. I also have candy for the taking. 

I will play music at this little station, and possibly have a few games (like spin the wheel for a prize or cornhole). 

Here’s where you come in: help me add to this playlist. 

I’m going for adventurey/piratey/Halloweeny vibes but not scary. The last thing I want to do is scare some little kid or offend a parent. 

So here’s what I have so far: 

Monster Mash, Ghostbusters Theme, Spooky Scary Skeletons, The Purple People Eater, The Addams Family Theme, Scooby Doo Theme, I Put a Spell On You (Hocus Pocus), Harry Potter Theme, Double Double Toil and Trouble, Abracadabra, Witch Doctor, Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life For Me), A Pirate's Life (Peter Pan), Shiver My Timbers (Muppet Treasure Island), Yo Ho Ho (And a Bottle of Rum), Sailing for Adventure (Muppet Treasure Island), A Whale of a Tale, Grim Grinning Ghosts (Haunted Mansion), Be Prepared, Friends on the Other Side, Poor Unfortunate Souls, Thriller, Superstition, Time Warp, The Elegant Captain Hook, Cruella De Vil, The Headless Horseman, Transylvania Twist, Drunken Sailor, Bully in the Alley, Don't Forget Your Old Shipmate

I just want to be fun and whimsical for the kiddos on Halloween. Please let me know if you can think of anything else I should add! Thank you!

bet you weren’t expecting my longest rant to be about a single topic

so i’m watching that smartphone isekai. and i have so many problems with it after only two episodes. not like the art style or the characters cuz honestly the characters so far seem pretty okay. but the thing that bugs me the most is just how fucking carefree everyone is. like when this dude dies god’s like “oh shit sorry dude i hit you with lightning on accident, you good” and he’s just like “yeah ig” and god’s like “I would’ve thought you’d be more upset over you dying” and he’s just kinda like “yeah ig”. So as a way of apologizing god sends him into another world with his smartphone :0. and this is like the first example of deus ex machina we get. cuz some random merchant who just happened to be passing by is like “YO DUDE SELL ME YOUR CLOTHES” and he’s just like “that’s a bit weird bro but ok.” and so he sells all his clothes to this dude and in return he gets a new set of clothing and a sack of gold coins. And they never explain why the merchant wanted his clothes. Like they do a transition with the merchant sniffing his clothes as like a joke but that’s all the explanation we get. Then we get introduced to our first of many heroines. Elze and Linze. They’re twins. He saves them from some people trying to mug them or something. and gives them a gold coin. This is an important detail for me to complain about later. He introduces himself as Mochizuki Touya and they point out that that’s not how first and last names usually go and they ask him if he’s from a country that’s totally not japan called Eashen. He doesn’t ever give them a proper answer but they kinda just assume he is. So they all decide to get guild cards together and start adventuring together. So since this dude just got reincarnated here he can’t read. So while they’re looking at quests he points that out. Now this is a sort of medieval isekai. Not much technology. So it’d probably be normal for peasants to be illiterate. BUT DOES THIS FUCKING DUDE SEEM LIKE A PEASANT TO YOU?? HE SAVED TWO RELATIVELY KNOWLEDGEABLE ADVENTURERS FROM A MUGGER AND GAVE THEM A GOLD COIN FROM A SACK OF FUCKING GOLD COINS ON TOP OF THAT. NO MATTER WHAT WAY YOU LOOK AT IT THAT’S FUCKING WEIRD. i’m not even halfway done btw this is still the beginning of episode 1. So they go and defeat a bunch of “one-horned wolves” and after that little venture with no good fight choreography he asks them if they could help him with A) learning to read and write and B) learning magic. They then explain how magic works in this world. Him not knowing how magic works in this world is another point in the possible peasant category. Magic in this world is decided by affinities. If you have an affinity for water magic you can use water magic. If you have an affinity for water and dark magic you can use water and dark and so on and so forth. Sometimes an individual will be able to use null magic or “personal magic” it’s basically magic unique to an individual. Back to elemental affinites. it’s extremely rare for a person to have affinities in three elements. Touya here has all 6. And on top of that he can use all types of Null magic. After that little display some random lady comes in like “oh i need new food for my restaurant and i heard you were a foreigner do you know any Eashen dishes I could use???????” AND HE DOESN’T EVEN STOP TO THINK LIKE “oh wait i’m not actually from there i should just say no” NO HE JUST FUCKING SAYS “hoW AbOuT iCE CrEAm?????” and then he pulls out his phone and Elze and Linze ask what it is and he’s like “Oh it’s a special magical item that only I can use” AND THAT HAS TO BE SO FUCKING EXTREMELY RARE AND VALUABLE LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING. HE DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO USE MAGIC UNTIL A COUPLE MINUTES AGO AND YET YOU JUST ACCEPT THAT HE HAS A UNIQUE MAGIC ITEM THAT ONLY HE CAN USE. FUCKING CALL HIM OUT SAY SOMETHING’S UP WITH HIM. HE’S JUST LETTING EVERYTHING HANG OUT PUNISH HIM FOR THAT FOR FUCKSAKE. I’m gonna stop ranting about how stupid all the characters are and come around to the plots of each episode. THEY FEEL LIKE A BUNCH OF COINCIDENCES TAPED TOGETHER TO FORM A PLOT. LIKE “oh he just happened to see them get mugged in an alley” and by itself that’s completely fine but stacked on top of the fact that HE JUST GOT A SACK OF GOLD COINS BECAUSE A MERCHANT JUST HAPPENED TO SEE HIM WALKING TOWARDS THE TOWN. AND HE USES ONE OF THOSE COINCIDENCE COINS TO GIVE THEM AFTER HE SAVES THEM. AND THEN THE LADY JUST HAPPENS TO SHOW UP AT THE END SO HE COULD WHIP OUT HIS SMARTPHONE AND THEY COULD DO A FUCKING KAWAII ICE CREAM OUTRO. FUCK. AND EVERYTHING GETS WORSE IN EPISODE TWO CUZ THEY MEET A GIRL FROM EASHEN AND SHE INTRODUCES HERSELF THE SAME WAY JAPANESE PEOPLE DO AND HE DOES THE SAME INTRODUCTION BACK AND SHE’S LIKE “OH SHIT ARE YOU FROM EASHEN” AND YOU GOTTA REALIZE, THIS IS HIS OUT, THIS CAN EXPLAIN AWAY ANY JAPANESE TENDENCIES HE HAS BUT HE JUST STAYS VAGUE AND SAYS “NO I’M NOT FROM THERE BUT I’M FROM A VERY SIMILAR COUNTRY” LIKE WHAT THE FUCK DUDE TAKE YOUR FUCKING OUT THAT WAS YOUR ONLY ONE. SO THEY DECIDE TO TEAM UP CUZ THEY NEED TO DELIVER A LETTER TO SOMEONE AND THEY GET ON A CARRIAGE AND TOUYA TELLS LINZE HE WANTS TO STUDY NULL MAGIC SO HE CAN USE MORE OF IT AND HE LEARNS A FEW. ONE CALLED APORTS THAT CAN TELEPORT SMALL ITEMS TO YOUR HAND AND ONE CALLED SLIP THAT CANCELS ALL FRICTION AND BASICALLY JUST MAKES THE PERSON SLIP. HE GETS ONE MORE THAT I CAN’T REMEMBER THE NAME OF AND IT GIVES HIM HEIGHTENED SENSES WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE “OH, I SMEEL BLOOD OVER THERE!!!!!!” AND THEY ALL RUSH OUT AND SAVE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE DYING AND THEN SOME CHICK CALLS OUT TO THEM LIKE “FUCK HELP MY BUTLER’S DYING HE HAS AN ARROW IN HIS CHEST” AND SO THEY GET OVER THERE AND TOUYA’S LIKE “HEY LINZE DO HEALING MAGIC” AND SHE’S LIKE “NO I CAN’T THE ARROW’S LODGED IN THERE IF I USE IT NOW THERE’LL BE A FOREIGN OBJECT STUCK IN HIS CHEST” AND THAT GOT ME THINKING. THAT MEANS SOME IDIOT SNAPPED THE ARROW OFF WHILE IT WAS IN THE BUTLER’S CHEST. THAT’S BASICALLY A DEATH SENTENCE IN THIS WORLD. HEALING MAGIC WON’T COMPLETELY SAVE THEM IF THERE’S STILL A FOREIGN OBJECT IN THEIR CHEST. ONE COULD ARGUE “OH THEN IT MUST’VE BEEN THE ATTACKERS, THEY SNAPPED IT OFF TO ENSURE HE WOULD DIE. THE ONLY ATTACKERS WERE A SUMMONER A BUNCH OF SUMMONED LIZARDMEN!! I DOUBT EITHER THE SUMMONER WOULD THINK IT IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT THE BUTLER DIE THAT HE’D ORDER THE LIZARDMEN TO SNAP THE ARROW OFF IN HIS CHEST. SO THAT FUCKING MEANS THAT THE ONE WHO BASICALLY FUCKING SENTENCED HER BUTLER TO DEATH WAS THE GIRL WHO CALLED THEM OVER TO HEAL HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE. LUCKILY WE LEARNED THE SOLUTION TO THIS PUZZLE ALREADY AND TOUYA USES APORTS TO PULL THE ARROWHEAD OUT. AND THEN WE LEARN THAT THIS GIRL WHO THEY JUST SAVED JUST HAPPENS TO BE THE DAUGHTER OF THE DUKE. WHICH IS THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE RANKING NOBLE IN THE COUNTRY. SO THEY GO TO HIS HOUSE TO RECEIVE A REWARD FOR SAVING HIS DAUGHTER AND BUTLER, BUT OH NO! TURNS OUT THE DUKE’S WIFE IS BEDRIDDEN DUE TO SOME SEVERE ILLNESS. AND THE REASON HIS DAUGHTER WENT OUT WAS IN HOPES THAT SHE COULD LEARN HER GRANDFATHER’S PERSONAL MAGIC CALLED RECOVERY THAT COULD CURE ANY ILLNESS. WHATEVER SHALL WE DOO- AND FUCKING TOUYA’S JUST LIKE “YO I CAN USE ALL NULL MAGIC” AND HEALS HER AFTER FIVE FUCKING YEARS OF BEING BLIND. LIKE GOOD FOR HER AND ALL BUT IMAGINE HOW ANTICLIMACTIC THAT IS. THEY WERE EXPECTING SOME EPIC JOURNEY WHERE THEIR DAUGHTER WOULD WORK HARD TO OVERCOME AND LEARN THE RECOVERY NULL MAGIC AND FINALLY SAVE HER MOTHER BUT SOME DUDE SWOOPS IN LIKE “OH, UH ... ABRACADABRA!” AND SHE’S NOT FUCKING BLIND ANYMORE! LIKE SERIOUSLY!!! AND THEN THE DUKE GIVES THEM LIKE 4000 PLATINUM COINS WHICH IS LIKE 40,000,000 YEN OR SOMETHING AND I’M PRETTY SURE THAT WAS ALL JUST AN EXCUSE FOR WHY THEY CAN BUY EXPENSIVE STUFF IN THE FUTURE

and thus concludes my thoughts on the first two episodes of In another world with my smartphone. oh also he doesn’t ever pull out his phone during episode two.
