My little universe

In the fifth book «Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix» in chapter 9, to be more precise, we learned that Molly Weasley's boggart is the death of her family members and loved ones. And in chapter 7 of the book «Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows», Molly Weasley gives Harry a watch for his birthday, which belonged to her older brother Fabian...

If I remember correctly, the scene with Molly Weasley's boggart was after Moody showed Harry a photo of the original Order of the Phoenix members, taken somewhere in the early 80s or late 70s... The photo of the members of the order and the scene with the boggart were in the same chapter. And this chapter was called «The Woes Mrs. Weasley». At first, Harry was told that the Prewett brothers were killed by 5 Death Eaters, and then he learns that Mrs. Weasley's fear is the death of loved ones... And on his seventeenth birthday, he finds out that Molly Weasley is the sister of Fabian and Gideon Prewett...

When I realized this moment, I wanted to cry. Really.

Because when I first read the book cycle, I didn't pay attention to it, and now... Now I've built a chain of cause-and-effect relationships out of it and it really broke my heart.

When Crystal Cove falls under the influence of Aphrodite's love charms, an unfamiliar woman comes to their aid, in whose voice they recognised the same Mrs. E. Why did she help them deal with Aphrodite? What are she and her husband planning? The second «Mystery Ink» will soon find out about it.

In short, I have an idea what will happen if Ricky and Cassidy are married in the Pre-Nibiru timeline, and there will also be «Creationex» instead of «Destroido».

I thought about what would happen if I combined some points from the Post-Nibiru timeline with the original timeline. And that's how this AU came to my mind. I've already baptised it «Mr. & Mrs. E» and I'm even thinking about making a few arts on this AU.

Actually I don’t imagine that, but your thoughts it’s kinda interesting. To my great regret, I didn't watch it because of my studies, but I would really like to 😭

In fact, I'm thinking about the fact that «Benevolent Lodge of Mystery» had a lot of case of their own that we don't know anything about. Velma actually knows, but in the series it wasn't much mentioned. Because these guys literally travelled almost all over the world. They clearly had something to do.

And I really have a theory that since Sherlock Holmes was shown in Scooby Doo media, they could have done a couple of things with him. Because... Sherlock Holmes of the 19th century, written by Arthur Conan Doyle... I think something like that could have been.

First of all, I had some clear time frame for the existence of «Benevolent Lodge of Mystery» in my head, namely: from 1880 to 1914 (approximately during the beginning or on the eve of the First World War).

I don't know why, but looking at Oswald Burlington, it seems to me that he showed almost childish tenderness and sincerity towards Mr. Peaches. I have such thoughts that the orangutan has been with him since childhood and that's why Oswald reacted so vigourously to his death. It also seems to me that under the influence of Evil Entity, he, who looks to me as a rather socially active person, began to lead a recluse lifestyle. For some reason, it seems to me that he not only archived records about the adventures and discoveries of the group, but also could periodically respond to letters. Or that Scotty O'Rourke or Marianne Blanchard (who I consider a person who treated injuries and had medical skills) checked him once a month or several months to make sure he was still alive. Well, provided that after the breakup of «Benevolent Lodge of Mystery» they stayed in Crystal Cove, and did not go anywhere, for example, to their homeland (Scotty to Ireland, Marianne to France).

Concerning these two... Scotty O'Rourke and Marianne Blanchard. We know about them... nothing. What happened to them after the breakup of «Benevolent Lodge of Mystery» is not clear, as well as what kind of relationship the band members had, in principle (personally, I think it's quite good, since they travelled the world with each other for about 30 years).

But I do not leave an obsessive thought — probably even a strange thought — that these two, about whom we know nothing, have a rather interesting relationship. I don't know why, but looking at them, I have a feeling that they communicated with each other in such a way that those around them did not understand whether they were flirting with each other or just joking. I don't know why I think so, but it seems to me... a little cute? Perhaps I like the subtext of situationship for these two a little. Or in my head they look like couple...

All right. The more I think about it, the more I realise that I will write too much. So, who's next?

Abigail Gluck. The «brain» of the group. A german by origin. Most likely, after the breakup, «Benevolent Lodge of Mystery» joined Germany. She adhered to Nazi themes. In the 1930s, she met Professor Pericles in Bavaria. They solved mysteries together while travelling on her motorcycle (a cool thing, actually). Then The Second World War. And after its end, Abigail returned to Crystal Cove and Scooby Gang found her an underwater base located near the ruins of the old Crystal Cove, where 60+ years later...

How did she even build this underwater base with armed robots by returning to Crystal Cove? The idea is quite interesting.

For some reason, I have the feeling that after the end of World War II, Abigail Gluck returned to Crystal Cove, (as I say higher) took Professor Pericles with her (which is quite logical). They wanted to find «Treasure» of Crystal Cove — they really wanted to. Who could have had the necessary information? Her good old friend Oswald Burlington, who voluntarily went into hermitage.

Did Oswald let them in? I doubt it. Because, well... His old friend has arrived, with whom he have not communicated for more than several decades. All that is known about her: she had connections with the Nazis. If such a friend suddenly finds herself on your doorstep with a strange talking parrot on her shoulder, I doubt you'll let her in.

Let's say Oswald didn't let Abigail on the doorstep. Could she have go to Scotty and Marianne? Well, if they were still alive at that time (approximately after the end of World War II).

It is also quite likely, but there is one «but»: Professor Pericles did not mention that he was actually knew another members of the «Benevolent Lodge of Mystery», except for Abigail. Although it sometimes seems to me that if the Scooby gang and Cassidy had not found an underwater laboratory, Professor Pericles would hardly have told them about his acquaintance with Abigail Gluck. So I also have a tiny question.

If we consider from the point of view that Professor Pericles kept silent about his acquaintance with other members of the «Benevolent Lodge of Mystery», it can be assumed that he and Abigail were allowed to live in house of one of them for some time. Abigail and Professor Pericles was looking for information about «Treasure» of Crystal Cove. After they visit the government archive of Crystal Cove, which later... well... burned down in a «mysterious way».

In my first post about «Beloved Lodge of Mystery», I wrote that government archive of Crystal Cove was most likely burned by Abigail Gluck (I really don't expect anything else from her) and someone else. In this case, I bet on Scotty O'Rourke. One is on fire, the other is looks around. Just... Who won't ask questions? This guy. And Marianne Blanchard... In my opinion Abigail obviously can't ask her for that, otherwise, it seems to me, she'll warm her head with something for such a request.

Because... Just imagine. Mr E (the boss or friend of Ed Machine, we can't know exactly the nature of their relationship) needs a person who will change into a «monster» for a good amount of money to hunt for a group of teenagers, whom solves mysteries. Who did he choose? The daughter of his company's CEO, Alice.

In the end, we’ll have this: Alice was arrested twice and she was twice in prison, from which she was pulled out and then Mr E paid her a good amount of money. Plus, she was beaten once by Cassidy.

Do she like it? No. Do Mr E pay well? Yes.

Shaggy's parents being ashamed of having Shaggy as their son, even going to lengths to make sure that Shaggy doesn't mention that he is their son. They shipped their son off to fucking Military School. They locked their son's beloved dog/bestfriend into an abusive farm where they probably starved him. Who tf does that? They ignore his calls, regardless of how important it might be because of 'Still Night'?

Mayor Dad's neglect and emotional unavailability which fucked up Fred so bad. Fred was so tragic as a character. All the adults in his life failed him. Everyone. He trusted Angel and we know how that went. His own parents tried to kill him. His kidnapper/adoptive father literally got himself caught because he was saving Fred. Chiles, do better.

Velma Dinkley and her almost normal family(?). I actually have no problems with them? Her dad could have showed up more often tbh.

I have so many more thoughts.

Hmm... Quite an interesting idea. I agree that SDMI is the darkest series of the Scooby Doo universe. So, let's start in order.

I didn't notice that part with Nan's mental health, maybe I missed this topic. There is no denying that the Blakes like to divide their children into favourites, which is not too good. They rate them by the degree of success and usefulness, which also affects their reputation. For them, Daphne, in their opinion, is a failed/unsuccessful daughter and they most likely emphasise this, since I can't explain otherwise how Daisy treats her, who, it is logical to assume, was instilled with a sense of superiority over her younger sister, since she is not as outstanding as they are.

Shaggy's family... People are not particularly nice either. Their image and reputation are important to them. And you can see that Paula Rogers (Shaggy's mother) has the greatest authority in the family. Shaggy, to put it mildly, don’t fit into the «family lifestyle», which can be said about Daphne in her family. I see some kind of parallel with this. Rogers — especially Paula — seem to me to be bohemian people who prefer art, which was shown in one of the series, as well as aesthetic beauty, not spiritual. Well, their son didn't fit into the position. And he, in their opinion, needed to be corrected and that's why they sent him to the military academy, sharing him with Scooby Doo.

Also in one of my posts I wrote that I headcanon that Shaggy is the middle child in the family and that he has two sisters: the older one is Maggie and the younger one is Suzann (also known as «Sugie»). And it seems to me that the Rogers also divided their children into favourites. But in this case, the favourite was Sugie, who was fond of art, which fit into the bohemian lifestyle of the Rogers. What was wrong with Maggie? She supported her brother she supported him more after he saved her wedding from cancellation (shown in one of the episodes of the series, which described the adventures of Scrappy Doo and Scooby Doo). And that because of that she has a bad relationship with her mother.

Fred's family consists of two fathers (one adopted) and one mother. I won't say that all three are good. I won't say, although their versions in Post-Nibiru (as well as other parents) are not so bad. But... Jones Sr. first kicked Fred's parents out of Crystal Cove, then illegally adopted or kidnapped their son when they tried to return to the city. He lied to Fred all his life, framing a portrait of a random woman, whom Fred later considered his mother... Did he take care of him? More Brad and Judy, who literally betrayed him, as soon as he recognised them (how much time has passed since their actual acquaintance in the second lore of the season? Two months?). All right. I won't be talking about what they did, I'm only glad that they're adequate at Post-Nibiru.

Velma's family... Yes. It's quite normal, although I don't like the fact that Angie Dinkley literally prefers Velma the horse she puts on at the races. Not too good. Father doesn't say much at all. Velma's parents develop a mystical tourist. Yes, they often don't understand each other, but among all the other parents they are the most supportive. Angie helped Scooby Gang with their investigations. So yes, they're the best, except for some, well.. Little things

What if the residents of Crystal Cove in the future remember what’s happened in the Pre-Nibiru timeline?

Just... One fine day — let's say, exactly a year after the formation of the Post-Nibiru timeline — people remember everything that happened. Well, Evil Entity, German robot soldiers and much more, including the lives they lived in Pre-Nibiru timeline.

«Why didn't Scooby Gang take information that could help them find Planispheric Disk from the Burlington library?»

And then it literally occurred to me:

«if I were in their place, I would not even go to this place for the second time.»

Why? Let's remember what happened there:

1. Shaggy and Scooby Doo came across some monster in the kitchen.

2. Something like Medusa Gorgon was chasing Daphne in the bathroom.

3. Scooby Doo was chased by a monster pretending to be Shaggy in a dream.

4. Velma was first chased by a statue of Mr. Peaches, and then she literally saw a ghostly train with members of «Benevolent Lodge of Mystery», which literally disappeared into the wall.

We already understand that all this was a hallucination caused by the steam of wood burning in the fireplace, but... Guys, if something like this happened to me, I wouldn't go back there even if I knew that everything I needed would be there. Because I wouldn't really want to walk through the corridors where I was haunted by some kind of evult (even if it was a hallucination), you know? I repeat: I would not go to this place a second time after everything that happened there.
