I researched this because I saw this movie in cinemas when I was like 6 goddamn years old and remembering its existence just now blew my mind. James Gunn screenwrote this. The writer and director of Guardians of the Galaxy, 12 full years before his most successful film. He stated in interviews that he hated Scrappy’s guts and “their whole goal was to destroy Scrappy forever”, since the character was famously brought in to Scooby Doo in the 80s to help ratings and was almost immediately overexposed and overmarketed to the point that many fans hate him. And they totally did. He hasn’t appeared in anything Scooby Doo related since, except for these throwaway allusions as a nightmare-like traumatic event for the rest of the gang. Depending how you wanna interpret those references the canon fate of Scrappy Doo was that he went nuts and tried to kill anyone. Also, according to this movie he was never even a puppy, just “had a glandular issue”, which makes all those times he went “puppy power” really creepy in hindsight tbh I haven’t watched a SD related thing in years but I spent like a half hour looking into and reading about this. Worth.

The best part is that Gunn is still proud of this and admits to writing him as the villain because scrappy is a “completely fucking awful person”

I wish to be as proud of my fanfiction as James Gunn is of his SD movie

“They want to hire a part of me.”

Everything about this, from Carrie’s viscerally presented and excellent point, to the pun, to the look on Stephen’s face like he just fell in love.  Everything is so, so good.

I don’t like sports, but the Bearcats are my new favorite team.

I love how it gets more elaborate each time. These boys are thinking this through.

This is my favorite post of all time

Whenever someone says the Babadook isn’t openly gay it’s like?? Did you even watch the movie???

It’s canon basically. I mean he created a pop-up book of himself for the drama of it all???

Y'all realize the babadook was just her depression right???

Yeah and he was gay???

It was all a hamfisted metaphor for grief after the death of a loved one, not just her depression but all the related stages of grief.

No the Babadook was a man who fearlessly and proudly loved other men in spite of a society telling him that his love was wrong- like, watch the movie??

why does tumblr always do too fucking much ITS JUST A MOVIE LMAO

A movie about a gay man who just wants to live his life in a small australian suburb? It may be “just a movie” to you but to the LGBT community the Babadook is a symbol of our journey

The B in LGBT stands for Babadook. Everyone knows this.

I cannot understand whether they’re serious or not.

We’re dead fucking serious we don’t tolerate ambiguity in the babadiscourse get yourself right before you come on here again

I love this book
