(I had to add the original person who put this up just so I could add this comment here, safe to say I had too much time on my hands last night)

Was gonna shorten this story but scooby doo was my whole childhood and I mean to the point I never even got to watch spongebob until i was an adult like I’ll happily die as the most dedicated scooby doo lover 😭 but hear what I’m saying, so you always get the sense that freds the big boss. Big boss man Fred the typical American jock, half has feelings for daphne but he’s an American jock 🤷🏻‍♂️ but then Daphne seems like she’s whipped on Fred but cause Fred’s Fred she only half has feelings for him and half gives signals to shaggy. Shaggy knows he shouldn’t like daphne cause her and Fred are a thing and cause his full time needs to go on scooby doo but he can’t help it so half of his attention is on daphne and half is on scoob. Scoobys full attention is on shaggy being his best mate and scranning on Scooby snacks all day. But then Velma where’s Velmas friend/companion? Nowhere. That’s who’s missing. You’ve got daphne and Fred entwined while shaggy and scooby are always together but velmas always on her own. She third wheels shaggy and scooby all the time and I remember multiple times as a kid I’d ask my mum why is Velma always left out and it’s pointed out in a lot of episodes/films that she feels lonely especially the films played with real actors like spooky island, the relationships of the characters I’ve just severely ranted on about are further proven in spooky island, as well as shaggys innuendos about weed and all of us being too innocent as kids to realise but when you watch it as an adult you’re like oh my god. Google shaggy spooky island weed it’s a mad rabbit hole. Anyway back to what I was saying, velmas just alone and it’s deep because she’s the little geek of the group. You’ve got Fred the jock, daphne the pretty girl, shaggy the stoner, scooby the dog that talks, what’s Velma a lonely geek and I think there’s a part of your brain that wants her to have a friend. The only time my brain has ever felt some what complete with this 6th person stuff was when Velma met patrick wisely in scooby doo 2 monsters unleashed. BASICALLY, google patrick wisely and that’s the closest person you’ll get to a 6th member to fill that void in your brain, otherwise scrappy will have to do.
