Name one hero who was happy.
I love this concept sm
Obviously Velma sucks but if we do ever make a more adult Scooby Doo I want a semi realistic period piece from the late 60s where the Scooby Gang are draft dodgers and hippies that just happen to stumble into the crime fighting business because there is just a fresh stream of con artists when you’re drifting town to town in a van.
Freddie and Daphne start it all. Instead of showing up at boot camp when drafted, Fred Jones got the van he bought with his summer job and ran off. Daphne, his girlfriend (who frankly has the least strong feelings about Vietnam but for gods sake are they not taking Freddie there) runs along to be supportive and to get away from her strict, stuffy family.
Velma catches wind of Fred and Daphne’s plan a few days before it happens. They invite her along but she has to consider it. A staunch feminist and the brightest girl in school, she has the most to lose if she leaves. However, she grows embittered by the fact she’s never gonna get into her dream college since it doesn’t admit women, and decides to go along. Besides, if Fred and Daphne leave without her, there won’t be anyone like minded in their hometown for Velma to be friends with.
Shaggy wasn’t originally part of the group, but they find him and Scooby hitchhiking and pick him up. The gang learn he has similar circumstances to Fred for running away from home, being a conscientious objector who ran off when they tried to put him in a non combative position instead. He opposed even this as it still meant he would be part of the war machine. He comes bearing plenty of 8 track tapes and some real good pot, so he’s welcomed along happily.
Along the way they become friends and use their combined skills to solve cases of supposed hauntings. Every single one is shown to be some kind of capitalist fraud.

Why is he so pretty... like aahhh gender envy!!
LUKE ♡ THE FEELING OF FALLING UPWARDS
You wanted to be the hero,
Wrapped around in glory and love,
You wanted to be the one to survive and be happy,
But you could not see far from your pride.
Achilles, my only love, you promised me forever, said you wouldn't die
Side by side we fought, as I promised to never leave you alone
As long as I was with you safe you said I'd be
If I only I have listened, if only I haven't take the shield of, everything would have been different, we'd live to tell the tails of yours
But my dearest would it be worth it all? In darkness our souls collided forming a bright light
You wanted to be talked about, so now they say stories about our love.
Written by me.
my only addition to the proliferation of pride flags is that honestly someone should just start making pride flags that are for the most part inoffensive but then like give the meanings of the stripes like absurdly controversial microcommunity discourse. like "here's my pride flag - the stripes represent all the different types of attraction in the split attraction model, the maroon represents that bisexuality represents being attracted to the two binary genders, the green stands for lesbian bed death, and the stars represent the amount of hypervisibility that trans women use to take up all the space and oppress afab trans people via invisibility and the labrys represents lesbians who are into men (cis men only, obviously). nothing it in represents gay men because they are not oppressed" creating perhaps the most hated object in the queer community and uniting us all
anyway. cherish your queer self. admire your beautiful queer face. gloat about your ever-growing queer vocabulary. find similarity in your differences with your peers and think of them in awe. make a queer smile today, and let them make you smile too. bask in your queerness. let queer joy unapologetically wash over you. even if just for a moment. heal.
