On the wave of Velma sucking, I want to bring attention to another project that takes the same concept (adult mystery gang show) and does it lovingly and really well: Mystery Incorporated.
youtube
This is an independent project that has been given the grace of the IP holders, and it's so obviously crafted by folks who genuinely love the franchise. Yes, it's a little gritty and dark and "adult," but in like... A cheesy, campy first-season-supernatural kind of way– it's not played to be "shocking," and it obviously cares about the people watching it. (There's so many little clever nods to obscure Scooby shit it's insane)
The first 50 minute pilot episode was released a little under a year ago, and I strongly encourage you to check it out and support the team to produce more episodes. Channel whatever effort you were going to put into hate-watching Velma into supporting good things, instead.
Also, it at least has the dog.

Human Tommy who is a little too old to have a monster under his bed but does so any way. Technoblade is far less chuffed about the fact. He’s a monster of nightmares! A beast of shadow and fear! And yes maybe he accidentally tripped the first time he tried to eat Tommy and then the kid was laughing and making fun of him, so now all his fear powers are USELESS since under-the-bed monsters are utterly defined by perception. And yet no matter how many times he tries to leave to go and eat someone else, Techno somehow can’t, because Tommy doesn’t expect him to be able to (and maybe, just maybe, Tommy needs someone to stay with him, just for a little longer, so he isn’t so horribly alone. And of course, an under-the-bed monster gets shaped by that need). Techno’s power dwindles as Tommy gets comfortable around him, as he begins to starve with no orphans to eat.
But Tommy sometimes drops Cheetos down for him, so maybe it’s not so bad. And sometimes a hand dangled off the side of the bed, brushing at the edges of shadowy fur. And sometimes when Tommy finally feels safe enough to fall asleep, Techno bites the edge of the blanket to pull it up over him.

how many vampire aus can I start in a year?
...a lot
Gather round let's do a summary circle
Bingo Fics:
Creatured: Tana is too contaminated for quarantine to work, so Gavriel goes looking for an alternate solution.
wish they all could be California: The sun is shining, the girls are in California, and all is well.
You as you’ve always been: Quarantine was supposed to be the hard part.
Fireworks and bloodstains: Independence Day is a funny holiday to celebrate in quarantine.
DSMP Vampires
As Real As A Giant Squid: Techno survives a vampire attack and promptly sets up as many anti-vampire measures as he can find record of. Phil thinks he's overreacting, and refuses to believe it was a vampire until he sees one himself.
The World’s Worst Introduction to Vampirism: There’s supposed to be a method to turning someone. Befriend them, first. Decide they’re worth immortality. Then the initial bite, with enough venom to stop their heart and start the transformation. Their heart should restart within twenty four hours - if it doesn’t, the turn didn’t take, and they’re just dead. Once the turn has started, the vampire has twelve hours to prepare everything. Maybe thirteen, but no more than sixteen. At the twelfth hour, the half-turned vampire must be fed vampire blood - preferably from their coven, but an enemy’s can work in a pinch - and buried for a time. This process repeats until the fledgling is fully coherent when woken, and entirely dead. Technoblade’s Turning is scuffed from the start.
[WWITV has four fics within it, and you are not getting all the summaries because Spoilers but you can have the titles! The World's Worst TBI, The Vorld's Vorst game of Vhere's Valdo, The World's Worst Vampire Hunter, The World's Bloodiest Happy Ending. (And bonus au of an au, Step One - Building Trust: Au of World's Worst Introduction To Vampirism, wherein Bad wins a game he didn't know others were playing, and solves a mystery others didn't know they were suspects in.)]
Technoblade’s Guide To Getting Unlimited Vacation Days: When someone says that capitalism is a blood sucking machine, they usually mean it metaphorically. Techno does not. The C-suite (and possibly the V-level employees too, Techno isn't sure) of Hardcore Insurance are literal bloodsuckers, and no one says anything about it. Including Techno, Techno keeps his mouth shut and his job security and plans to continue doing that… until the CFO cheerfully informs Techno that he can’t wait to have Techno for Solstice Dinner. Change of plans, Techno is ditching the company, possibly the country, and he’s doing it before December.
All the living are dead (and the dead are all living): While tending to the estate of his late aunt and uncle, Philza finds a hidden room full of coffins. Worse than the coffins, though, are the vampire fledglings locked inside. Promptly, his to-do list is updated. One, get rid of his eccentric uncle’s monster hunting gear. Two, nurse the baby vampires back to health. Three, find their vampire parent, and convince them to leave the city. And maybe, if he doesn’t end up eaten, he can ask the pretty lady from the historical society out on a date.
All the while, Lady Death stalks the night, searching for her children.
Panic vampires
“Calm down, it was just a notice of intent to turn.”
“A what.”
“Intent to turn, it’s-”
“I know what that is, Phil, I want to know why there’d be one with me on it.”
“Can you really not think of any vampire who’d want to turn you?”
“Phil, you are the only vampire I know.”
Rehabilitation:
noun: the action of restoring someone to health or normal life through training and therapy after imprisonment, addiction, or illness.
The truce between vampires and humans was notarized with the construction of bloodletting cities, where rich vampires sponsor citizens in exchange for freely given blood. Despite the draw of the concept, many are still too afraid of vampires to take the offer. Hence the offering of children too young to opt out, too violent to keep on the human side of the walls.
"Don't you want to go to school with kids your own age?"
The kid shrugged, “Unless the restraining order changed, I’m not allowed within a hundred yards of other kids my age.”
“Why not?”
“I killed too many of them.”
On Monsters and Monsterousness, and children forced to grow fangs too young.
All Roads Lead To Immortality: Hypixel Habitat for Humans, otherwise known as the city with the best university for historical architecture and literature, is a weird little place. Phil moved there to get his degree, signed the papers thinking that the weirder things he agreed to would be inconsequential. The chances of him not only meeting a vampire but being liked enough by one to be turned were astronomically low. Which is why getting a turning notice in the mail ruins his week. Phil is not going to wait around for some random vampire he doesn’t even know to keep him for eternity. His jerk of a sire is a problem, but at least his Fledgling Parole Officer thinks his escape attempts are funny. He is getting out of here and moving to somewhere with lots of sunlight, like Australia, where he won't have to see another vampire until he dies.
Fanfic fiends murder people together, more at 12: it turns out that reaching out to your favorite fic author with an account that's clearly been passed down through three people is really smart, since it could end with them recognizing enough of your voice to not kill you during a night hike.
I could be anything but yours: Niki tries not to think about how her poisonous blood is the only thing that keeps her safe, not when her siblings are sent out over and over as bait for vampires who go feral at their scent. They're all built for this, weapons and lures to keep monsters in check, but every time she fails to save a sibling Niki can't help the worry that perhaps the real monster has always been her.
What kind of devotion survives eternity? [I actually have not been able to write a fitting summary for this one because I keep waffling on which way it needs to be formatted for the drama, but the original placeholder was vampire parentsduo but Techno is caught in the middle]
Kristin knows the loneliness of eternity, knows it as well as her own silent heart. She really can't be blamed for spiriting away the first mortal in centuries to make her feel seen and known.
She hadn't considered the ramifications of only turning half of a matching set.
Other Vampire Things
Corporate Vampire Stalkers: Owen has been working at Angel Real Estate for six years. It's a pretty solid gig, ARE Bosses are the rare kind who care for their employees more than their clients. He's even managed to climb the corporate ladder - not the way most people do, aiming for the seats of power themselves, but by climbing between secretarial positions. ARE bosses are also the rare kind that don't usually sleep with their PAs. He's comfortable with his current position, assistant to Samuel Lane, the Vice Chief Information Officer, and honestly doesn't wanna move again. But the longer he spends running Lane’s functions, the more he uncovers about ARE, and the less he can write off any oddities.
Like the human sacrifice basement.
The Vanaugh Pod Hotel: Years after Leon Vanaugh pretended to be his undead grandfather to torment his niece, Liam Vanaugh does return. He brings with him Lisa's parents, and an apology.
Lisa isn't willing to trust easily, not after Leon's betrayal, so she calls the same friends who helped the first time. Mystery Inc will unmask whoever is pretending to be her grandfather.

the fic is currently 48k
Thank you, last night Apple, this tells me everything I need to know
Nah but actually making the outline is just reorganizing the oneshot bits and adding scenes that I put away because 'this fic was supposed to be 2k!' (it is currently 12k)

Sepfember 4

feels fitting that Four is the forth done huh?. I like to think this was his reaction. To getting stuck in one of Dots old dresses for something undercover. Worse is that it worked perfectly.

And here's the reference pic I used for it!

How many times do they have to pass the same bulletin board before it's funny?
Let's figure it out!

Uh-huh…

…two…

…still… still goin' past it…

…kiiinda funny…

…aaaaaand there.
Five times it is.
Jury's still out on whether further identical hall shenanigans continue to rise in humorousness, but once you've looped five times it's at least worth a giggle.

Danny is a new technician at a rebuilt star labs. He didn't want to at first because Danny thought it would cut into his undead superhero/prince duties. Eventually though Clockwork (bullied) encouraged him and as it turns out, the lab is pretty lax about sudden "trouble at home". Plus, Danny can help set things back together when one of the Flashes messes up the timeline AGAIN.
(Flashpoint is what allowed Dan to come back as quickly as he did in the first place.)
The flash family, for lack of a better description, are straining. They're all putting up painted smiles that Danny knows aren't happening with his coworkers. Danny wants to be friendly with them but they're keeping him at a constant arms length away.
Barry, wally, Bart, and the rest of the flash family are freaking OUT. Why wouldn't they, their new technician caused the apocalypse. Granted they only know this because of an old speed scout from Bart. But it didn't have the time to tell them anymore than the name and some powers of one Dan phantom before fading. The timeline line the one man disaster's from doesn't exist anymore so they can't even check what happened or why the Dan destroyed everything. They can't even get rid of him because what if that sets off the guy!

I would like to be asleep, however, I am thinking about mermaid techno getting rescued from polluted waters by giant Kristin cupping him in a pool of water in her palms.
It’s all Techno’s known, gills stinging with every choked inhale, unable to see more than ten feet ahead from the murky water, littered with scars from bumping into things and sudden attacks and sharp garbage floating in the water. Techno is utterly alone in the riverbed, and doesn’t even know it. Poor little merfolk! So Kristin decides to save him.
Harder than she expected, nearly catches him the first time cause he couldn’t see it coming, but managed to wriggle out. Techno swam as fast as he could away, only to slam into a second soft wall that folded and tried to crush him beneath pillars. He pivots, but a second one swings in from nowhere, the little merfolk panicked and trying to maneuver out of the way. They’re unbelievably coordinated, but he’s clever and small and fast. Techno has absolutely zero way of comprehending the thing he’s fighting against. Thrashing as he’s scooped out of the water, terrified of asphyxiation. Only the creatures somehow hold enough water? He’s swimming in circles, viscerally aware limited water is leaking from the thing?? Carrying him??????
Then he’s put into a tank (not that he can even recognize that) in a plastic bag to acclimate and he’s fruitlessly thwapping the bag with his tail when a thing swims up to him. Not fish. Kinda fish. Looks like…him? Because Techno is so endangered he’s never even seen another merperson. Partially bc of the heavy water pollution he’s used to. He’s confused why he can see so far and feels exposed cause of it, or why each breath doesn’t sting, or why it’s so easy to get to the surface because there’s no layer of garbage.
The other, bigger him is miming stuff with their hands cause sound cant get past the invisible barrier. His spanning green and white striped fins flare out in amusement as Techno startles and tries to get away, slamming into the invisible barrier over and over trying to find some gap in it. The little black fish surrounding the other him poke at the barrier curiously, when they should be fleeing because they look delicious.
Techno cautiously acclimates to the other him’s presence. But spooks again when the giant fleshy tentacles begin shifting the bag, lowering so the top is open to the rest of the water. Other him says his name is Phil, and looks horribly sad when Techno asks what he is, and looks happy when asked about the tentacle monster. Hands, he explains when asked, pointing out into the depths where just barely Techno can make out an incomprehensibly gigantic face. Its teeth bare as he notices it. That’s my wife, Phil explains cheerfully.
Seeing as Phil is evidently insane and/or evil, Techno attacks him mercilessly.
1.Unfortunately Philza turns into an annoying neighbor constantly cheerfully pestering the confused techno who has never held a conversation in his Life. Territorially, Techno tries to drive him off constantly. It doesn’t work.
2.Techno not understanding glass and being terrified when he realizes he’s trapped in a tiny territory
3.Techno hiding for days under a sea shell whenever he sees Kristin (he’s bad at it, his eyesight is terrible after living in muck all his life)
4.Techno refusing to eat fish pellets. Or half a giant fish. But live prey he eviscerates with gusto
5.Shell being lifted up. Fear. Terror. Metal spears chasing him relentlessly, maneuvering so fast, before trapping him between (the tweezer prongs). Techno struggling in vain, getting a light squeeze in response, and screaming before going limp. Kristin immediately releases him, and Techno darts away immediately, laughing that the trick worked. Now armed with knowledge of how the tweezers worked he evades them for days.
And then cold. So horribly horribly cold. Techno feeling sluggish and lethargic, only able to thrash weakly as the tweezers gently seized his middle and lifted him up. Some weird bristle thing began stroking his tail (tooth brush) until the grime of a life in polluted waters began to scrub off. Almost felt nice, brain too sluggish to do much more than the mermaid equivalent of purring. Phil resting his head in his lap and combing out wild tangled hair as his crowfish symbiotically clean Techno’s scales. Working together to patch up Technos wounds and many many scars while Techno shivers and hugs Phil. The bigger merfolk just laughs and teases him for being used to a tropical environment.
6. slowly getting used to the giant woman, stops hiding from her, eagerly pokes out his head in case there’s more food when she passes. Still won’t go up when her fingers dangle in the water. Phil is still crazy nd insisting he’s married to the weird terrestrial behemoth.
7.After a few weeks of Techno healing, adjusting to not living in a cesspit, curing his chronic malnutrition, figuring out Phil is crazy but harmless, Techno gets captured again. Taken to the ocean. Sees what his habitat was meant to be like this whole time. This vibrant coral reef and dozens of merfolk everywhere he looks and so much food and water as far as the eye can see. And techno cautiously explores, hiding behind Phil when anyone approaches since he’s never really been in a social environment before. Beginning to adjust. Beginning to realize how bad his life was before.
8.Techno gets his own cleaner fish swarm but they’re so noisy for a guy used to the isolated silence of what’s basically a dead zone so he starts calling them chatter, and then just chat for short. Or voices either way
9.And then one day he ventures out past the reef to where the water plunges down cold and dark. And among the depths he sees a familiar giant face in the swirl of tendrils and fins.
And he finally realizes: oh maybe Phil really is married to the giant woman
Fin.
