So I heard we were redesigning the Scooby gang for funsies. And character design is my passion so… Have this college au!
I honestly think that Velma would be the only one who’s actually a criminal justice major or going to school for a similar field, but I also think she’d minor in like robotics or something. She’s got a full scholarship bc she’s like a super genius or something.
Daphne is a fashion design major but dabbles in a few other things when she isn’t doing mystery stuff with the gang. I’ve always seen her as a jack of all trades type who can pick up skills p easily tbh. She’s just girlboss like that. Also the fact that Shaggy wears socks and sandals drives her nuts.
Fred is a theater kid and if you think otherwise you’re wrong. Idk much about theater majors but I think he’d focus more on the technical side of things, but he’s still a pretty good actor.
Shaggy just seems like they’d be the type to be a culinary arts major bc y’know… food. He’s also on the college track team bc that also makes sense to me. And Scooby is their emotional support dog. Anxiety service dog??? (I’m not all that familiar with the terms and what is considered like a service animal or not so I’m so sorry if that’s not correct.) Also baggy clothes to hold all the snacks.
I imagine that the gang is still solving little mysteries while in school since chaotic stuff just gravitates to them via the power of being main characters, but I also think it would be fun to have like an overarching mystery as well. And I think it would include the gang noticing that despite the normal lifespan of a dog, Scooby doesn’t seem to be getting any older…

honestly though the funniest part of hades 2's release in our household has been the constant conflict between my partner (a classics major)'s desire to never listen to anything the sirens are singing just on principle, vs my (musical theatre major, songwriter, professional singer) need to play and/or sing all four siren songs around the house at all times
they are well versed in odyssey lore
i have learned i am apparently not immune to sirens if the sirens are ashley barrett and erin yvette
our last conversation on it ended in them giving me a look of blank despair and then going "you may be a useless lesbian, but at least you're my useless lesbian?"
anyway she can kill me whenever <3

I was on Reddit and saw a post asking
Is Hadestown meant to be political?
and I was just . flabbergasted bc Hadestown is about:
capitalism, corrupting nature of greed, border policies, Shit Life Syndrome, fate, how love is not enough to sustain you but it's everything anyways, arts as enduring hope and inspiration, climate change, the power of a union, failed marriages, fear leading to isolation, jealousy, unfair contracts, workplace power dynamics, mental illness, self doubt, suicide, seasonal affective disorder, bad coping mechanisms and escapism, the cyclical nature of life and of stories, telling the tales anyways, poverty, appreciating the underclass of invisible workers who keep society running, the enduring hope for change, and seeing the world as it is AND how it could become
and WHATEVER THE FUCK ELSE YOU BRING TO IT
because it's A R T
of course it's political! it's about everything

Here's the taglist for those who wish to be continued to tagged or not.
Songs for Far Cry The Silver Chronicles, Life, Despair & Monsters and A Radioactive Calamity Of Love, Bombs & Gore. Music below the cut.
Vega, my Fallout 76 OC, is one of the "Residents" of Vault 76. Originally a settlement planner, she is now on a quest of revenge against the other residents of Vault 76 for "wrongfully" leaving her behind in the vault. Truthfully nobody wanted to deal with her bullshit and didn't want to wait on her when they had a job they'd been waiting 25 years to do, so they left her to sleep in (because she had a bit wee too much to drink during the night of Reclamation Day), thinking she'd catch up to them later. Vega did not take it likely. She also has a particularly concerning obsession with Vault 76's Overseer, viewing the older woman as her rival (even if the Overseer views Vega as merely a minor annoyance at best and always poking holes in Vega's delusions). This song pretty much sums up Vega's POV regarding the Overseer (and her fellow Vault 76's Residents).
"Oh, wherever you go
You know I will follow you
You know I will run to you
Oh, the sun and the moon
It don't matter what you do
You know I will run to you
Can't believe in all this time I'm hurting for you
But you feel like hold down
The love you give it lift's so high I'm dying for it
I'm dying for it
And I can't let you go
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Or you'll lose, or you'll lose
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Or you'll lose, or you'll lose
If you hide away I'll hunt you down
And follow you to the end of the Earth
My heart beats with yours
My lungs breathe with yours
You're a piece of me
I can't hide away
Oh, I'm under your spell
I'm making and I'm fading
And nobody can see
I'm your heartbeat
You're part of me
Can't believe in all this time I'm hurting for you
But you feel like hold down
The love you give it lift's so high I'm dying for it
I'm dying for it
And I can't let you go
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Or you'll lose, or you'll lose
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Or you'll lose, or you'll lose."
Have a lovely ship song between Mercy Omar-Seed and Carmina Rye (the former is the daughter of Silva Omar and Faith Seed, the latter the daughter of Nick and Kim Rye). While Old Dusk (the WIP of the New Dawn arc) can be quite bleak (not as bleak as Silva's Hope though) due to the circumstances, this relationship is one of the most heartwarming highlights that I've been developing.
"Let's go below zero and hide from the sun
I'll love you forever where we'll have some fun
Yes, let's hit the North Pole and live happily
Please don't cry no tears now, it's Christmas, baby
My snowman and me, hey
My snowman and me
Baby
Don't cry snowman, don't you fear the sun
Who'll carry me without legs to run, honey?
Without legs to run, honey?
Don't cry snowman, don't you shed a tear
Who'll hear my secrets if you don't have ears, baby?
If you don't have ears, baby?
I want you to know that I'm never leaving
Because I'm Mrs. Snow, 'til death we'll be freezing
Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons
So come on let's go."
Imagine being amongst a group of individuals who have been brutally mutilated, experimented on or in general fucked over by the same short dude who's not only from another dimension and can travel through it to other worlds, but also runs a cult-like science organization dead-set on ruining humanity's life to help them "evolve" and laugh at their despair... well, that's the crux of Life, Despair & Monsters, a group of individuals, some of whom sure weren't the greatest (but still didn't deserve what happened to them), whose lives were negatively and irreversibly impacted by that of one Sir Enigma Malvolio and his Ruins of the Midnight Rise. All because he wanted to see how humans could cope with erratically spontaneous and disastrous change to their livelihoods.
"You say I'm craving hope in this darkness
You say I'm just a joke, just a joke
Shivers my spine so much
Swimming in the river styx too much
They try to let go of us
But the truth is...
Once you're in then
You're one of us
Truth is...
Once you're in then
You're one of us
One of us
Truth is once you're in then
You're one of us
My darling in fire
My darling rolls in fire
You liar
You say my darling rolls in fire, in fire
You say my darling burns in fire
You're a liar."
