Hear me out: Scooby Doo x Miraculous again
Scooby is a version of a “kwami” that can be shared amongst all the scooby gang. Or he’s a kwami of Mystery for Shaggy then Fred, Velma, and Daphne get their own kwami.
Maybe a hound for Fred for the trapping and it’s his ascot? Velma’s would be in her glasses then Daphne with her hair band?
oh! Imagine the Johnny Bravo crossover so he also has a kwami in his glasses. The canon scene happens where Velma and Johnny swap their glasses then learn they have kwami.
Place this idea within an alternative reality of Mystery Incorporated. The planispheric disk was originally a complete, hidden form of a miraculous box. Each of the kwami within it resides with a piece of the disk (6 total pieces).
Jaguar, Donkey, Skunk, Orangutan, Cat, Parrot.
That list is of animal partners that the previous mystery solving groups had. These represent the different eras as well. Inspiration can be taken from the trials of the og show to get to the entity for the concepts of each of those kwami.
This obviously leaves Scooby as the "odd one out". How can he be a part of it if there are only 6 pieces? Well, if the disk is treated more like how the prodigious is (multiple renlings within one object), Scooby could be a kwami/miraculous that is meant to be summoned when all the pieces are being used together. (Kinda like captain planet but with kwami?)
Typically, all 6, let's call them, Planispheres must be wielded together in order to have the 7th Planisphere appear.
At some point way in the past the Planispheres' owners have a falling out, or perhaps if this occurs in the "og" miraculous universe the wish happens, which forces the pieces to be split and only a specific piece ends up with each of the gangs throughout the eras. It would be why we see only a single Planisphere with each up until the modern day.
As for why the Mystery Inc gang end up with Scooby, we could take another concept from the shows and mix Nova with the prodigious' guardian spirit Mei Shi. The Planispheric disk pieces being separated for so long is risking the possibility of the Planispheres becoming disconnected from their piece, thus ceasing to exist.
Scooby needs to be summoned in order to keep existing. Nova, as the guardian, uses all the magic she has to forcefully summon Scooby. In the process, he loses his memories of being the grand Planisphere. Dealer's choice for how/if this effects the other Planispheres in the process.
Thinking specifically of Pericles as the parrot. A facture in the magic of his disk could be why he starts to get corrupted. He might be the Planisphere that was closest to Scooby and as such, he gets the worst of it. Factor in his disk having the longest time since it was last activated as well.
Pericles could be the one Planisphere, besides Nova, that remembers the full disk and makes it his mission to bring together the best team to find this fellow Planispheres' disks. (Regardless of if corruption happens to him).
Once again, a dealer's choice for the outcome of this. Myself either...
A1) Despite best efforts, the planispheres get too fractured and become lost to time. Scooby's existence lingers long enough to be appreciated but, in the end, he can never truly return.
A2) To keep with the horror element, the fractured pieces are melted together to make a "new disk" which is in the shape of a collar. From it, Scrappy Doo is born. He can never be Scooby. Never live up to the power and potential of Scooby.
B1) All the pieces of the planispheric disk are found, placed back together, then the corrupted energies are purified. All the Planispheres end up with permanent holders that stay around the orig gang and the ones they trust.
B2) Nova realizes that she is no longer needed to watch over the disk. As such, she gives up her energy in order to make a small piece that can fit within the disk to keep Scooby company if he cannot be summoned. This is the creation of a positive Scrappy.
Anyone is free to use this idea, with credit, and let us know if you want to see the blog owner take a stab of trying to write this out fuller. <3
