#I like velma having the most normal home life of the 4

[myimaginationplain]

something fun about Scooby-Doo as a franchise is that none of the five core characters have consistent family members. Their mothers, fathers, siblings, aunts, uncles & cousins change in every single iteration with no real cross-over between shows (with the notable exception of Scrappy). So if you're writing a general Scooby-Doo fic not based on any one canon, literally all of their families are free game for headcanon-ing. You can do whatever the hell you want with them. Be free

The feeling of warmth surrounded your senses before you even woke up completely. Your hand brushed beside you, feeling the silk of your sheets. Your eyes opened as you looked to see yourself in the bed where Bucky was supposed to be. Looking over to the chair, Bucky was lying there looking rather uncomfortable.

“Bucky?” you called out softly, so you didn’t startle him. He woke up, eyes half open as they looked to you. He hummed in acknowledgement. “Why am I here?”

“You were uncomfortable, tossing and turning in your sleep. Couldn’t let you stay like that, can I?” he asked, voice deep and rough. He sounded like he was almost growling, but he sounded so sleepy and kind. It sent a wave of adoration throughout your body.

Shaking it off, you chuckled. “You can’t, your from the 40s where most men had respect.” you teased at his age as he huffed, sitting up.

“Calling me old?” he chuckled.

“No, calling you a good guy. But since you mentioned it..” you giggled as he gave you a silly glare. “It’s a quarter past ten.” you said. “We should probably try to get food.”

“Won’t other people be out? You know, dangerous?” he asked.

You shrugged. “Friday? Where is everyone right now?”

“Most are in the kitchen besides Clint, Steve, and Rhodey.” Friday replied. “If you’re wondering if it’s safe, then it should be.”

Bucky nodded, standing up and stretching. The end of his shirt lifted up just slightly, enough for you to see an ab or so. Not that you weren’t expecting that, but it was just nice to see.

“M’gonna go get dressed, okay?” Bucky asked as he went to the door.

“Wait!” you cried, grabbing his hand. “You’re leaving?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back in less than ten minutes. Lock the door behind me and get yourself a shower and dressed, okay? I’ll do a knock at the door to let you know it’s me.” Bucky explained, tapping a pattern on your hand. “It’ll be that.”

You nodded, letting go of his hand. “Less than ten?” you repeated, just to be sure.

“Less than ten.” Bucky confirmed as he unlocked the door. He stuck his head out, looking around. He slipped outside of the door, shutting it behind him. You quickly got up to lock the door.

Ten minutes, that was a relatively short amount of time. Bucky would be back in less than ten, so nothing could go wrong. Quickly, you gathered some clothes and a pair of socks and set them on the counter in the bathroom. You also locked the bathroom door once you got in, just to be on the safe side.

Turning on the hot water, you stripped out of your clothes and stepped in, the warmth of the water soothing your nerves. People always said hot showers solved problems and calmed people down, it looks like they weren’t wrong.

You lathered shampoo in your hair as you tried to take your mind off of the murder. Anything you can think of. A TV show? Music?

Well, another good topic was Bucky. You never realized how kind he really was, maybe it was because you didn’t really know him before, but maybe it was because he trusted you. Around the team, he wasn’t too talkative, but around you that changed.

He just made your heart flutter, those butterflies you’d gotten as a teenager. That’s how Bucky made you feel. So, you liked him? It was too soon to tell, but maybe, just maybe you did.

After you finished up your shower, you did the rest of your normal morning activities - but with a more watchful eye than normal - and slipped on a cozy outfit. You looked at the time, it was almost ten minutes.

So, grabbing a book, you laid on your bed and opened the book to where you last left off. Sighing deeply, you tried to concentrate on the contents of the page, but you weren’t really in the mood to read. You just needed to wait for Bucky to come back to your room.

A few pages in and a light knock vibrated through the door. It was the same pattern Bucky had done, so you put a bookmark in the book and made your way to the door.

Slowly, you opened it up to be greeted with Bucky’s refreshed face.

“Less than ten.” he smiled, clearly proud of himself.

You laughed, nodding in agreement. “Let’s keep a close eye out, yeah?” you asked.

“Definitely, come on,” Bucky’s flesh hand lightly touched the small of your back, just resting there with a feather light touch. You could tell he wanted to keep you near him, and keep his fighting arm out and ready to attack. It almost looked like he’d go full on Winter Solider mode if anyone came within 10 feet of you.

As soon as you walked into the kitchen, you were met with the awkward silence of your teammates all eating in different places of the kitchen.

Sam was eating against the far wall, Wanda and Vision sitting by the stove, Steve and Rhodey were at the table - like civil people - just casually, Nat and Bruce were on the island stools. Those were just a few places. The rest were just scattered around, even Clint was just sitting on the floor, eating what looked to be warm oatmeal.

“Just sit down, I’ll get you something, okay?” Bucky leaned down to your ear, muttering the words. You merely nodded in reply, going to the other side of the island where Natasha and Bruce were seated.

“Hi,” Nat smiled weakly towards you, giving a slight wave.

“Hey,” you replied, giving your own weak smile. “Hi Bruce,”

Bruce nodded. “Hey,” he replied.

After a few more horribly awkward moments of silence, Bucky sat down next to you, handing you some cereal and juice.

“You get some last night, Barnes?” Sam joked, maybe to ease the tension in the room, maybe because he was genuinely curious. You couldn’t tell, but maybe it was both.

Bucky chuckled. “Just being there for a friend s’all.” he replied. “You know, after someone tried to shoot her.” Everyone’s eyes were now on Bucky, some shocked and some scared. “Yeah, anyone know about that? Wonder how that hole in the wall got there?” Bucky pointed to the small bullet hole in the wall.

“You were shot at?” Bruce asked, his glasses almost falling off his face from shock.

“Bucky saved me.” you answered. “If it wasn’t for him, I’d be dead right now.”

“Can someone just admit who’s doing this? It’s ridiculous!” Clint groaned, his head hitting the wall behind him. “And I want to go home to see Laura and the kids.”

Steve hummed in agreement. “It’s seriously not funny. Someone just fess up and we can work something out, yeah?”

Everyone agreed, but no one spoke up. “This is worthless. I’ll be in the lab looking over footage. I’ll check the cams from last night, too. Maybe we’ll see the shooter.” Tony grumbled.

Now that you looked at him, he was a mess. Hair all frizzed up, baggy and red eyes, he was wearing loose and baggy clothing to fit it all. His movements were slow and shaky. You felt terrible for him.

“Buck, can we go back to my room?” you muttered. Bucky’s hand rubbed your arm as he grabbed your food and his drink to take with you both.

As you stood up, Natasha cleared her throat. “Thank you for protecting her, Bucky.” Natasha thanked.

“It’s a pleasure.” he replied as he nodded to you.

Once you got back into your room, you sat on the edge of your bed. “Well, that was weird.”

“You can say that again.” Bucky replied, handing you your cereal as you took a bite. “Everyone looked so scared.”

Chewing, you nodded in agreement. After you swallowed, you wondered if maybe if it was worth investigating. “What do you think about coming up with a plan to find out who did it?”

“A plan?” Bucky raised an eyebrow, curious as to what you meant. “Like that show, uh, Scooby-Doo?”

You nodded your head quickly. “Yeah! We’d solve the crime and stuff. Except there’s no ghosts or anything. And it’s real life unlike the older cartoons.”

“They made a live action a few times.” Bucky pointed out.

“Wait, really?”

“Yeah, we’ll have to watch it sometime. We’d be like Fred and Daphne.” Bucky joked.

As innocent as it was, you couldn’t help but think into what he meant. Fred and Daphne were known for their unknowing crushes on each other - Daphne more than Fred - and their constant jealousy over one another. Did that have a meaning behind it, or was it just an innocent joke?

“Totally. Maybe Friday could be our Velma.” you giggled as Bucky eyed your cereal. You offered him the bowl which he took gratefully.

“Agreed, doll,” Bucky chuckled, taking a bite of the cereal.

The two of you planned out your hunt for the murderer. You’d go into the movie room, totally defenseless. You’d wait for a few minutes to see if anyone would try to kill you. If they did, Bucky would be hiding in the dark spot by the screen. It was an almost flawless plan.

So, there you went, strutting your way along into the movie room. You left the lights off, going into the middle of the seats and sitting down, allowing yourself to get comfortable and look vulnerable.

As you waited, you heard footsteps coming to the door. Quickly, you sunk a little lower into your seat.

“Y/n?”

You looked up to see Wanda and Vision, staring confused at you.

“Hey, guys,” you awkwardly greeted, allowing yourself to sit up. “Whacha doing in here?”

“We came to watch a movie?” Wanda claimed, but it came out more like a question. She was definitely wondering why you were alone in a dark room, hunkered down in the middle of it. It really did look suspicious.

Vision looked around for a moment. “Is Mister Barnes hiding by the screen?” he asked.

Your eyes got wide as Bucky stepped out, his knife in hand. Now you both looked suspicious, him more than you.

“What’s going on?” Wanda urged as Vision took a small but noticeable step in front of her.

Locking eyes with Bucky, you silently prayed he would answer. When he didn’t you took it upon yourself to answer. “Hunting the murderer,” you replied in a small voice.

“Well, can we have the movie room?” Wanda asked again, her eyes trained on Bucky’s knife as her fingers noticeably began shining red.

“Yeah, all yours,” Bucky replied as you stood up to walk out of the room. Bucky was out before you, but as you went to leave, Vision grabbed your arm.

“If I were you, I’d be careful of what you say and do around others. Who knows, they might just become suspicious.”

Yanking your arm away, you walked out and to Bucky. He opened his mouth, but you just kept walking to your room, the super soldier right on your heels.

Once you got in, Bucky sat on the edge of your bed, watching as you paced marks into the floor. You were wordless, just pacing around in worry. Now two of the strongest Avengers were suspicious of you which wasn’t good. Especially with the influence Vision had on Tony, as he was once a form of Jarvis.

“Y/n,”

Your eyes shot up to Bucky. He looked at you with worry. “What did he say? The artificial man, what did he say?”

Your feet unintentionally paced again, more worry setting through your body. “He said to watch what we do because people will be suspicious. He thinks we’re the murder, literally the most invincible dude on this team!” you rambled, panic coursing through your veins. “And then so is Wanda, the strongest Avenger we have! At this point we’re so screwed! We might as well just give up--”

“Y/n,” Bucky grabbed your shoulders, forcing you to look at him. “I need you to calm down, alright? Everyone is suspicious of each other. Just because two people saw something a little fishy doesn’t mean that they suspect us fully, m’kay?”

You nod as Bucky pulls you onto the bed. “Now, I promised you a Scooby-Doo movie, didn’t I?”

“I can’t believe the 100 year old man has seen the Scooby-Doo movie before I have.” you muttered, as Bucky nudged you.

“Say it again, I dare you.” he teased as you laughed. “After we can watch some reality TV show. Maybe watching other people’s problems will take our mind off of our own.”

It was your turn to raise an eyebrow. “Which one are you talking about?”

Bucky shrugged. “Dunno, you can pick.”

“Oh, we are so watching the Bachelor.” you giggled. “You’re gonna hate it.”

“Just by the title I think I will.” Bucky agreed as he leaned against the headboard next to you.

His hand was mere inches from your own. You were so temped to just move it over and hold onto it, the cool metal sinking into your skin. But you couldn’t, you had to hold back. After all, it could be a one sided crush.

As you heard Scooby give his infamous little giggle, you relaxed a little more, allowing yourself to relax. But next to you, Bucky was thinking the same thing. Your hand was so close to his, he just wanted to feel the warmth of your hand warm his metal one up. Too afraid to make a move, Bucky just sat there.

You made him feel like his old self again, but he refused to show it. Maybe not refused, maybe just scared. He’d lost so much, he didn’t want to lose anything else important to him, either.

So, he sat there, listening to your quiet remarks on the movie and small chuckles at the scenes that played before you.

One day, he would make his move. He was planning on it.

[phantoms-lair]

How about 5 headcanons for Fangs? Please?

Probably not what you were expecting, but this is some stuff I worked out during the commission to write a daughter for Shaggy and Velma, but never had a chance to use in the story itself.

1) There are special hospitals for monsters. Like Vets, they have to be adaptable to the very wide range of needs that different monster’s bodies require. There are wings entirely underwater, for example. Or patient beds extremely small or large. Some room are big enough so a werewolf can have their whole pack there while recovering (if a werewolf’s spouse or child is in the hospital it’s normal to give them time off until everyone can go home).  

2) On of the most dangerous things that happen is such a hospital is a pregnant werewolf giving birth. Not to mother or child, but rather to the doctor! It’s a time where the mother is extremely vulnerable and thus twice as fierce to protect her unborn/newborn cub to the point where human reason is often lost to instinct.

3) The counter for this is something called the midwife program. The ‘midwife’ is a trained medical professional certified obstetrician and also trained in prenatal care. The Midwife moves in with the expectant family and becomes a presence in their life and pack to the degree that when it’s time to give birth the mother doesn’t feel like the midwife is an stranger and is far less likely to lash out during the delivery

4) All the equipment for cleaning, weighing, and otherwise caring for the infant is in the room with the mother, as is the incubation cradle. The baby is never more than arm length from the mother.

5) Midwifes are almost never werewolves. When the program was first instituted they went for all werewolves and discovered the new recruits had trouble staying away from their existing pack  for long enough to soothe the mother wolf and separating once the baby was born, much less multiple times.  There are still werewolf obstetricians, they just don’t the same thing as a one in the midwife program unless the pregnant werewolf in question is already a family member

Note: This only applies for a pregnant werewolf. A human who’s pregnant with a child who may be a werewolf should still give birth in a monster hospital, lest the baby be born with non-human features, but the procedure is identical to that of a normal human birthing, save the incubator would still be in the Mothers room rather than a baby room because young werewolves don’t take separation any better than older ones.

Laptop pioneer Harry Huskey dies at age one hundred and one

Harry Huskey, a pioneering Computer scientist who labored on early computing systems and later helped universities round the arena establish Pc facilities and Laptop technological know-how applications, died on April nine at his domestic in Santa Cruz. He was one zero one.

A professor emeritus of Computer technology at UC Santa Cruz, Huskey began his profession coaching arithmetic at the College of Pennsylvania. There, he worked on the famed ENIAC undertaking inside the 1940s. ENIAC become the first huge-scale electronic Laptop, containing 18,000 vacuum tubes, and Huskey becomes among the ultimate surviving individuals of the ENIAC group.

In 1947, Huskey spent a year in England, in which he worked with Alan Turing on a prototype of Turing’s Automated Computing Engine (ACE) Pc. He joined the personnel of the U.S. Country wide Bureau of Requirements in 1948 and became chargeable for the design and production of the Countrywide Bureau of Requirements Western Automated Laptop (SWAC), the quickest Pc of its time. Whilst he was building the SWAC Laptop, Huskey becomes a contestant on Groucho Marx’s You Wager Your Life radio display. Introduced because the designer of a “digital brain,” he become paired with a junk supplier at the Might also 10, 1950, episode.

Huskey later served as a representative to the Bendix Laptop Department of Bendix Company, where he changed into normally chargeable for the design of the Bendix G15 Computer. Designed for use by a single character, the G15 has been called the primary “private Pc,” even though it became the size of a refrigerator, with a similarly big tape unit for the additional garage. Huskey had a G15 established in his home in Berkeley in 1955 and later saved it in his Santa Cruz garage before donating it to the Smithsonian Organization in 1988.

Huskey was on the school at UC Berkeley from 1954 until 1967, while he moved to UC Santa Cruz and became a founding faculty member of the Computer and records technology software. He set up the U.S.A. Computer Center and served as its director for over ten years. During his time at UC Santa Cruz, Huskey recommended universities in many nations on a way to develop academic Pc technological know-how programs and establish Pc facilities. He retired in 1986 at the age of 70.

Born in North Carolina and raised in Idaho, Huskey earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics from the University of Idaho and M.S. And Ph.D. tiers in mathematics at Ohio Country College. The recipient of many awards and honors, Huskey turned into a fellow of the Institute of electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the British Laptop Society, and the Yankee Affiliation for the Advancement of science (AAAS). He received the 1984 Centennial Award from the IEEE and the 1982 Computer Pioneer Award from the IEEE Pc Society, and he became commemorated at the Pioneer Consultation of the Countrywide Laptop Convention in 1978. In 2013, he changed into honored as a Fellow of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA.

In 2015, the Baskin School of Engineering and Workplace of Studies at UC Santa Cruz offered Huskey with the Founding school Award for his role in founding what is now the Faculty’s Department of Computer technological know-how. Some of the earliest alumni and school attended the occasion to congratulate Huskey.

“I am satisfied we got Harry right here to peer what has grown from the seeds he helped plant and nurture,” said Patrick Mantey, the Baskin Professor of Laptop Engineering and founding dean of the Baskin College of Engineering. “He turned into already a legend in computing while I was early in my career.”

Huskey had 4 kids with his spouse, Velma, who died in 1991. In 1994, he married Nancy Whitney, who died in 2015. Huskey is survived by means of 3 daughters, a son, five grandchildren, and one amazing grandchild.

Rackmount Pc: Hazy History, Future Clean This Records of the rackmount Laptop isn’t always as nicely documented as say, the Records of the IBM Pc or the computer.

The early Eighties is about as near as the date can be pinned down. IBM had one out in 1984 At the same time as every other Pc pioneer claims to have constructed the first rackmount Pc as a special order for a purchaser in 1983.

A rackmount Computer is very much like a computer Laptop but there are some essential differences that set the breeds apart.

The maximum obvious distinction is the case in which the Laptop components are living. A rackmount case is built of heavier sheet metal and is closed, nearly sealed top, backside and aspects. These cases are modular in that they can be bolted right into a rack cupboard and actually stacked one atop the other although cases are of differing heights. They conform to a 19-inch rack mount well known width (that means they’re 17 inches extensive in the body with one-inch mounting ears on each aspect – in addition they conform to a peak standard wherein one rack area equals 1.seventy five inches, so rackmount computer systems can be 1U, 2U, as many as 8U or more in height).

Setting the computer systems in a rack offers them a few degree of portability if the rack has castors which make it easy to push or roll from one vicinity to some other in a single quick journey. Believe having to transport a dozen tower Desktops quickly although simplest to the next room.

In case you’ve ever looked internal an antique IBM XT you may see that the CPU and RAM had been not at the motherboard. As a substitute, they had been on a long card that hooked up onto the motherboard through one of the ISA slots. This kind of passive backplane and unmarried board Pc configuration changed into common in early rackmount computer systems. The concept become to have a spare unmarried board Laptop waiting in the wings in case the gadget board failed. Replacing the unmarried board Laptop may want to store treasured mins or hours in useless downtime because the card will be effortlessly lifted out and its replacement inserted without having to unscrew the backplane.

Nowadays, maximum rackmount computer systems use the same motherboards determined in most retail Laptop shops. with the aid of eliminating the unmarried board Pc which hooked up vertically perpendicular with the backplane, the dimensions of rackmount Laptop may be brought down from 4U or 5U (3U cases had been designed best in current years) to handiest 1U or 2U. In preference to have a SBC waiting at the sidelines, contemporary Pc technicians have a redundant rackmount display already on-line ready to take over in milliseconds have to a gadget cross down. It’s progress for you.

2038 – the following Laptop Time Malicious program Recollect the flip of the millennium? Whilst lots of us had been counting down the seconds until middle of the night, there were network directors across the globe with their arms crossed hoping their Pc systems will nonetheless be running after the new millennium kicked in.

The millennium Malicious program changed into the end result of early Pc pioneers designing systems with handiest two digits to represent the time as Computer memory became very scarce at the time. The trouble failed to arise due to the flip of the millennium, it arose because it was the end of the century and digit year flicked round to 00 (which the machines count on was 1900)

Fortunately through the flip of the millennium most computers had been updated and enough precautions had been taken that intended that the Y2K Computer virus, because it became recognized, failed to reason the vast havoc it changed into first feared.

However, the Y2K Trojan horse isn’t the only time related hassle that Computer systems can be predicted to face, any other trouble with the way computer systems inform the time has been realised and lots of greater machines might be affected in 2038.

The Unix Millennium Trojan horse (or Y2K38) is similar to the original Trojan horse in that it’s miles a problem related with the way computers tell the time. The 2038 problem will arise due to the fact maximum machines use a 32 bit integer to calculate the time. This 32 bit variety is set from the range of seconds from 1 January 1970, but due to the fact the quantity is confined to 32 digits via 2038 there may be no more digits left to address the advance of time.

To solve this problem, many structures and languages have switched to a sixty four-bit version, or supplied alternatives which can be 64-bit and because the trouble will not arise for almost three decades there may be lots of time to make certain all Laptop systems can be included.

But, Those troubles with timestamps are not the most effective time associated errors that could occur on a Pc community. one of the most commonplace reasons for Computer community errors is lack of time synchronization. Failing to ensure each system is going for walks at an equal time using a NTP time server can result in statistics being misplaced, the community being prone to attack from malicious users and may reason all kinds of mistakes which includes emails arriving earlier than they were despatched.
