Possum - Now with Knife!

I think Scooby Doo as a franchise has under explored the potential of the late 60s and early 70s as a setting

I'm sorry but my conceptualization of Fred is directly tied to his dodging of the draft, and his gay autistic swag

Fred just wants to solve mysteries and maybe hook up with Shaggy a few times, he is a nice boy, and that's important because if the show takes place in the year it was made then he was almost certainly dodging the draft, which adds a level of depth to him as we know he's nice and that niceness gives him a motivation beyond mystery, he doesn't want to go to Vietnam and kill but he can't say he's gay because Stonewall hasn't happened yet

He's scared, he makes mistakes, he had to leave his family, and feels lucky that his only friends agreed to join him in his van as he went to Canada, like Scooby Doo as a show really only works if you consider this, why are they always in a new place? Because they are on the run. I think a lot of Fred fans like him because he's a kind hearted silly guy, but once you realize the implications of the draft, he becomes a much more fascinating character, one we will never actually see explored because WB would never make scooby political sadly

To me, Fred is the most important character in Scooby Doo, not the dog or Shaggy, because while they instigate the plots of the episodes and see the ghosts and ghouls, Fred is the one who tries to catch and reveal the monsters, he has a strong moral compass, he knows what these people are doing is wrong and so he risks being found by the police to help the communities he goes through by catching these monsters

Fucked up that if you make a minor social blunder you can't ask the person if they hate you forever now because that within itself is another social blunder

you’re allowed to be a boy btw. You’re allowed to be a girl. You’re allowed to be both or neither or something else entirely. You’re allowed.

Well, are you?. We’re waiting.

There’s a lot to be umami about these days.

Eat your heart Catherine, you toad-eating hag.

Elizabeth, you must surely be aware that I am unable to view the roads from my apartments due to the vastness of my estate…

Oh, please do forgive my mistake, Catherine, I had only assumed you could see from that ostentatiously high pedestal atop of which you have placed yourself

i need everyone to get into college football right now i am dying to talk about the texas tech situation. this is the kind of thing that will be referenced for the next 100 years. there will be documentaries and biopics about this.

update on this: texas tech is claiming that every school who has/is considering cancelling all contests is "afraid" that texas tech is better than them. what's funny about this is that sorsby's stats are average. he is not good enough for this kind of protection. many schools who have already cancelled or are considering it have much better quarterbacks than sorsby. also, texas tech's head coach had said that it's actually ok that sorsby bet against his own team because it "its not murder or assault."

the attorney general of texas has threatened to investigate the Big 12 conference if they sanction Texas Tech

loud warning

Wait hold up this is awesome. So not because I'm ugly?
