Scooby Doo idea: Daphne Blake as the weird rich kid whose parents signed her up for a shit-ton of rich-kid extracurriculars like polo, fencing, and all of this other shit so they wouldnāt have to deal with her/bolster her college resume. She puts a lot of effort into actually being good at all these extra-curriculars bc sheās competing with all of her ~super successful and talented~ sisters for attentionĀ and ends up athletic as hell and socially stunted and likeā¦really aggressive and competitive and never quite satisfied with anything sheās doing. The only otherĀ āHigh Societyā kid who can put up with her is NorvilleĀ āShaggyā Rogers āan anxious stoner with freaky strict parents whose only friend prior to Daphne was his equally anxious rescue dogāDaphneās been beating up Shaggyās bullies for years.Ā Then thereās student council dweeb Fred Jones whoās always been groomed to be thisĀ āleaderā by his parents and is always pressured to go to these youth leadership things and stuff and yeah heās pretty good at directing group projects, but really Fredās kind of shy and more interested in engineering, forensics and maybe criminal justice and heās been friends with this chick Velma Dinkley in engineering club whoās brilliant but sheās also tactless, awkward and very bitterly sarcastic to cover up for the fact that her book smarts far outweigh her social skills.
Ā So then thereās this mystery downtown and all five of them show up andĀ thereās a mutual,Ā āOh hey itās you: The weird kid from my school. What are you doing here?ā and everyone goes around. Fredās like,Ā āOh I knew the owners of this place and they said they might have to close down because of this ghost and I told Velma about it and Velma thinks we can get to the bottom of this.ā And Shaggyās like,Ā āScoob and I didnāt want to be home right now and we honestly didnāt know about the ghost but hey Daphneās here so we feel safe enough to hang out and maybe Scoob can sniff out some clues or something.ā And then everyone turns and looks at Daphne and Daphneās just like,Ā āI want to fight a fucking ghost.āĀ
