Important if your in an abusive situation you can turn off this alarm

Do you know at 3pm on 23rd of April 2023, a UK-wide test of an emergency alert system will take place on every mobile phone in the country? This loud alarm will sound on your phone and make it vibrate, even if it is switched to silent or notifications are off.

If you're living with domestic abuse and you have a mobile phone hidden in your house "just in case", please remember to switch it off on Sunday 23 April 2023. Your hidden phone must be switched off completely during this time to avoid discovery.

• Even if this post doesn't apply to you, please support/share/repost.

• You will be connected to someone who is living with domestic abuse right now, even if you think you're not.

tag for flashing lights

DO NOT tag as #epilepsy, TAG as #flashing lights

the epilepsy tag is a community tag for us epileptic folks to seek help, if you tag your flashing lights as epilepsy you're putting us at a greater risk

Colors of DuckTales 💰

in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.

Fred?

‘Ascot wearing’ Fred?

‘Metrosexual icon’ Fred?

‘Cried openly during the goodbye scene in Alien Invaders’ Fred?

‘Drinks his respect women juice daily’ Fred?

‘Unapologetically affectionate with Shaggy’ Fred?

The Mystery Gang are all actually friends and hang out together at each other’s houses and make jokes and act like real teenagers

We also see their families for the first time and they’re all great. Daphne has a huge house and 4 sisters, Shaggy is weirdly rich as well, Fred lives in a McMansion with the mayor (adoptive father), and Velma’s parents run a museum dedicated to the Gang’s solved mysteries (all of which are references to the 1969 series)

Scooby beats up a robot dog with a forklift and quotes Alien

There’s a very Twin Peaks-esque episode in the second season, complete with the red stripy room

One of my favorite episodes has a parody of Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground

The art style is GREAT

The Hex Girls are, like, friends with the Gang and help them out sometimes

(They’re also very hot please step on me)

In the 2nd season, the monsters are real more and more often, and also magic is very much real, which has a whole host of implications for the world

Lewis Black, the comedian (aka Anger from Inside Out) plays a character named Mr. E who acts as a Cigarette Smoking Man-type instigator of mystery

The writers got reallllly close to having Velma and Marcie (aka Hot Dog Water, on account of her wool sweaters) be a couple. They’re not in the final show, but they’re still v queercoded. Marcie also spends some offscreen time in prison.

Every character gets the chance to show their smarts. The Gang is decently knowledgeable in true crime, chemistry, and trap-building (Fred) and it shows

Fred is obsessed with building traps to the point that his house is filled with them. Autistic king

Fred and Daphne have a healthy relationship that ebbs and flows and they work through it in a realistic way

Velma and Shaggy also have a realistic breakup and accept that they’re better off as friends. The romantic relationships in this show are great, y’all

Scooby gets a girlfriend, but it’s not forced because she’s actually an alien who gives an exposition dump

Oh yeah there’s aliens too

In one episode it’s revealed that every generation has a group of four people with an animal mascot, and the Scooby Gang are just one part of a repeating cycle

There is actual death (mostly offscreen)

And, last but not least:
