Personally, my top four Scooby-Doo movies, not counting the live action ones, are :Zombie Island, Witch's Ghost, Alien Invaders, and Cyber Chase.

(Though the Loch Ness Monster has a special place in my heart because of Shannon and Professor Pembroke.)

(and Monster of Mexico... I do have a love for it.)

Sorry. I just saw your post on Scooby media and I couldn't help but say something. :)

(recently got my hands on the original Scooby Doo where are you DVD set and the Scooby Doo and dyno mutt series set.)

(Dynomutt was paired with the Scooby-Doo show. The versions that introduced Scooby Dum and the 10,000 volt ghost.)

I have incredible nostalgia for Alien Invaders and The Cyber Chase! Tbh I think they're both better than people give them credit for (and I also never understood the hype over Zombie Island (which is a good movie but a lot less fun) and Witch's Ghost (which I straight up dislike EXCEPT FOR THE HEX GIRLS!)! The supporting characters in Alien Invaders are so alive; I remember them all in great detail. Along with Mystery Incorporated, this might be the best cast of characters in a Scooby Doo media. And The Cyber Chase, admittedly, may be more nostalgia but everything that happens at the last level is great and for a Scooby Doo movie it manages to have a pretty nuanced take on whether technology is useful or dangerous (it's both but it leans more towards useful and fun). The Cyber Chase is a sweet movie, you guys are just mean ('cause I've seen criticisms of it).

I was distracted when I watched The Loch Ness Monster so that might be the reason why I didn't like it a lot.

The Monster of Mexico is another nostalgia trap for me! The movie is actually... not that good. I watched it very recently and, like, it just isn't but I will probably watch it another 2 million times in the future.

It's fine! I do love to talk about Scooby Doo. I've written about 20k words worth of analyses on Mystery Incorporated and I'm not done! I will try to post those in 2025. I may have also started writing some posts for What's New, Scooby Doo and, like I said, I do plan on reviewing the movies!

(I know about the Scooby Doo/Dynomutt hour, though I can't say that I care about the Blue Falcon. Dynomutt is fun as a character!)

The second live-action movie (2004) is actually in my top 4 Scooby Doo movies! (I don't dislike the first but I think the second is better.)

The other three are the most unlikely culprits. Watching the Scooby Doo movies was such a surprise for me because literally every single movie that I was convinced I would hate turned out to be super great. I was so apprehensive about the crossovers with DC (Scooby Doo and Batman: The Brave and The Bold and Scooby Doo and Krypto Too) and Scooby Doo: Mask of the Blue Falcon but I liked them all a lot! Not so much that I'd put them in top 4 but they are definitely all in top 10!

Funnily enough WrestleMania Mystery absolutely grabbed my attention. I have never cared about WWE but I think the movie is very fun and they managed to create a pretty good mystery. It is one of the most exciting climaxes in Scooby history imo and, of course, any Scooby media that has the gang suspected of a crime has me seated.

I was positive that I'd loathe Big Top because I'm not a fan of circus mysteries. Usually because they involve clowns. However, this movie was actually pretty fun! It's a little of an acquired taste I think but hey, the Scooby gang were almost fooled! That's always a big plus for me and builds up the villain.

Probably my most favorite out of all these is Shaggy's Showdown. The idea of a western-inspired Scooby Doo movie was sure throwing me but it's actually amazing! Shaggy (who has become my favorite from the gang) gets to shine so much and making his ancestor the "villain" is an interesting direction for the movie. It's not perfectly unique (unfortunately, Frankencreepy) but it's done pretty well in this movie (again, unfortunately, Frankencreepy).

I also enjoyed Camp Scare and Abracadabra Doo a lot!

[everythingpuddle]

I probably will post them and their aesthetics.

I'm just so proud of my babies' babies. (And i may already have some storylines planned. Not many, but some.)

I love seeing aesthetics! Mood boards for characters are my shit, post away!

🤗Send this to the twelve nicest persons you know or seem to have a good heart (if you want to, of course!) and if you get five back you must be pretty awesome (heck, you're freaking awesome anyway :D!) 💕☺️

Oh, okay! Thank you!

I guess I'll go with @subtitlez @the0ther-side0f-dawn @lake-cervidae @riverwillows @doveforever @princessofthestoners .... I can't think of twelve people so there's that

[magixwitch]

Bloom. Icy. Darcy. Stormy. Nabu. Tune. :)

Bloom: which magical creature would I be?

umm when I was younger and naive I would have probably said unicorn because they are cool BUT now I know better and I'm saying Pegasus because they can fly duh... also my lesbian ass also had a crush on Rainbow Dash... idk why I'm mentioning this now tho.

Icy: I answered this in the previous ask but to give a different answer I'm saying my high school’s English teacher cause she’s a bitch and she made me live 4 years of HELL and I hated every day of it 

Darcy: what’s your sexuality? 

i’m lesbian and I'm so happy I can be so open about it online because I have told like 3 people irl and their reactions weren’t so positive :,)

Stormy: how would you describe your temperament?

moody, extremely moody, like sometimes I have conversations with myself and it would be like “wtf is wrong with you now idiot?”, but unexpectedly I can also be quite chill because I don’t take myself too seriously so I get offended rarely!

among the 4 temperaments I'm sanguine/ sanguine-phlegmatic lol

Tune: is it better to spare someone’s feelings or be honest?

in my opinion it’s better to be honest, because most of the time you’re not helping a friend if you’re lying to them, nevertheless I also think there is an offensive and a sensitive way to tell the truth, honestly doesn’t always equal being rude, you can be honest and still be considerate of someone’s feelings and I think that’s the best option;)

I love answering these so please keep asking ahahah

[winx-canons]

Do you have any headcanons about the teachers of Alfea, CT, and RF? I'd like to see those. Maybe some on the pixies too?

I’m so sorry for the delay! I had typed out a super long thing, and was writing the final notes until...

I accidentally deleted all of it. One and a half hours of writing gone. ;_:  

I hope I have everything from the original draft! Also, the story is actually better than the first time which is a silver lining :)

I don’t have many pixie headcanons, but I’ll post my headmaster ones! Hope you like these! If you do want more of them, DM me. Also, I’ll try and come up with some Pixie ones! For those, I’ll either make a seperate post or just DM you. 

Anyway, onto the post! ~

- I like to think that all three of them are bi

-Griffin and Faragonda both though they had a crush on Saladin when they were teenagers

-And this became competitive once they found out because those two had an unnecessary rivalry when they were teeangers

-They didn’t realize that Saladin had caught wind of this, but he had after the first week.

-He knew that those two actually just liked each other and butt heads too much to notice  

-Saladin did have a crush on the both of them, but decided to not bring it up because he was afraid they would disapprove. He still regrets this, as he thinks it would be much too late now.

-Instead, he played matchmaker between them.

-Saladin wrote poetry back in the day! The other two would critique it and help him out with it. Helia does not know this

-Griffin is the best with spells, Saladin is best with physical strength, and Faragonda is the brains of the group

-Faragonda used to be the most rebellious! She was the type to dye her hair (When it wasn’t permitted, oops) and pull pranks on the other two. (Leaving Griffin annoyed and Saladin tired)

-While Saladin was good with poems, Griffin was the best with visual arts

Magix College used to be one big college. It was our headmasters that decided to make it into three, as it would be better if each group were to receive personalized attention

-Griffin comes from a high class family who believes that she should be trying to appease to their rather high expectations. (Thus sending her to Magix Collage)

-They put a lot of pressure on her, which is why Faragonda’s more light-hearted and carefree nature is refreshing to her

-Saladin’s family is rather uncaring towards him, instead focusing on his older siblings He tries to appeal to them by pushing himself to get the best grades and even gained a full scholarship to Magix College. They disregarded it, however.

-He and Griffin have conversations about this, as they know what it’s like to have messed up families. While Faragonda sometimes feels left out of their talks, she understands how it feels.

-Faragonda is adopted, as her parents died when she was young. However, she loves her parents a lot

-Often, Saladin would go with Faragonda to her house for vacation as it was more lively. While Griffin always went home, she also started going  to Faragonda’s as they began dating (Third year)

-Saladin is bullied during their first year because of his height. While he tried to hide it from Faragonda and Griffin, they witness it one day and give them a talking to

(Here’s the ficlet!)

“Hey Saladin! Which one of us cast the spell first?”

Saladin groaned, raising his head up to see his two closest friends staring at him. “What?” he said, tiredly rubbing his eyes. Faragonda groaned, shaking her head. “Don’t tell me you fell asleep again? You need to stop staying up so late.” She said, and Slaadin grinned. “Never. I’ll sleep when I’m dead. Anyway, what are you two arguing about this time?” He said, and Griffin took a deep breath.

“Well, you’re not going to know, considering you were asleep.” She said pointedly, and Saladin gave her a sheepish look. She gave a brief smile. “I mean, it’s fine. He didn’t need to be awake to be able to tell that I did.” She said, and Faragonda let out an offended noise. “That was uncalled for.” She said, and as they continued squabbling, Saladin took out a piece of paper. Those two could argue. He would focus on his schoolwork. Still…

Faragonda’s eyes shimmered as she knew very well that Griffen had cast it first. Griffin had been the best spellcaster out of the three of them. Saladin could see the fondness of her “rival” in her expression. And Griffin? There was an obvious smile tugging at her lips, signifying that she was enjoying their debate. It was obvious that the two liked each other. While Saladin knew that they would eventually become a couple…

It saddened him to know that he never really stood a chance. Still, it was his best friends, and Saladin would get them together. They might have not realized it yet, but Saladin made it his personal goal that they would be a couple by the end of the year. Even if it meant he didn’t have a chance.

“Get a room, you two.” He grinned, as the two squawked, turning to him. “Excuse you? Shut up, Saladin.” Faragonda said, though the blush on her face was unmistakable. Griffen sighed, turning around (Though it was unmistakable that she was hiding a blush)  “Hey, we should actually do some class work. Professor Alirea will have our heads if we continue talking.” She said, and Faragonda nodded.

“Right. We’ll settle this later.” she said, and Saladin was unsure if she was talking about their argument or Saladin’s comment. Still, he pulled out a piece of paper, starting a new poem. He had already finished the work assigned, as well as all of the work for his classes. He would write this one about two oblivious idiots, perhaps in love. Perfect.

Bonus: A little unrelated, but here’s a few headcanons about Saladin’s partner!

-When Saladin began dating Aiko, Griffin and Faragona were very supportive of their relationship, going as far as to have her in the group. Finally, it seemed that the two couples were finally at peace

-It would only be about 7 years later, and 1 and a half years of marriage later that Aiko would face her inevitable end, leaving Saladin with their 1 year old twins.

-Faragonda and Griffin helped Saladin bring up these two kids. They would support the heck out of these kids

-Even if they were fighting with the Company of Light. In fact, this would mean he would need even more help.

-Even if it meant that one of the kids grew up and helped them to fight in their own battles. Saladin grew even more broken to find that one of his daughter’s passed in the fight.

-Faragonda and Griffin help Saladin to heal from their passings because that’s what friends do. They helped to raise the remaining child, and when she had a child herself? Made a vow to watch him carefully. Helia would be under their watchful eyes

[darkpoisonouslove]

Spoiler. Perhaps Griffin and Valtor based because of who I am as a person?

...The fact that I had trouble thinking of anything about Griffin x Valtor because I have a lot of ideas for them for the rewrite but all of them are discarded in various degrees. I changed the concepts of those scenes and the characters so many times that I have no idea what is going on anymore. That said, I was looking at my notes and I got an exciting, fresh angle to Valtor's behavioral patterns.

Valtor is hilarious in this because after he imprisons Griffin, he's visiting her at least once a day. He just can't help it. She's the only one that truly understands the goal here, not to mention that the Trix make him uneasy. I'm gonna go on a slight detour here about the situation with the Trix to give a better idea of the situation because I wanted to talk about it.

I absolutely despise the idea that the Trix will be so cringefail fight each other over a man. Plus, Darcy is literally Griffin and Valtor's daughter so I have gone in a different direction. First of all, they remind Valtor way too much of the Ancestral Witches and he simply Does Not Vibe TM. However, they will be much more dangerous left unsupervised, especially if any of the ex Coven members get a hold of them. Now while the Trix were with Darkar, they met some of the ex Coven members but, thankfully, none of them mentioned Valtor and his role in events so the Trix are blissfully unaware of who he is.

Valtor would like to keep it that way so he focuses on his divide and conquer strategy where they are concerned. He tries to make them jealous of the attention he pays to each of them but Icy is the only one who might be interested in him romantically sexually. Darcy wants his approval to a point where even she can't understand why until she hears that he was partners with Griffin and she remembers that she had the same feeling towards Griffin so what gives; is he her father and Griffin - her mother (as she has been suspecting for a while now)?* And Stormy just simply does not care as long as there's some shit to wreck AND she's with her sisters. (I can't afford another tangent so I'm gonna put the thing about Stormy in the tags.)

*Imagine the heart attack that Valtor almost has when Darcy starts asking him about his past with Griffin. They have an extremely funny case of misunderstanding where Valtor has heard enough about the Trix' relationship with Griffin to know that they suspect she has some kind of connection to the Coven because she knows things that she shouldn't know so he assumes that Darcy is trying to make him give himself away as part of the Coven and a creation of the Ancestral Witches. Meanwhile, Darcy is just trying to piece together the timeline and figure out if Griffin and Valtor are, in fact, her parents and she's getting so fucking frustrated by Valtor's extremely vague responses that she starts suspecting that he is hiding something about the Coven as well.

So Valtor resorts to plan B, which is to bait them with promises of power. Now the Trix literally need him and the protection he can give them or it's back to jail for them, and they are painfully aware of that fact. Unfortunately for him, that leads them to start digging and finally figure out what the deal is with him but anyway. All of this to say that the Trix have a completely different understanding of his quest for gaining more power and the ways in which he means to accomplish it. For them power is a literal means of survival and their one patented strategy is to steal the most powerful magic they can find so that it's theirs and no one else's. And that is exactly what Valtor convinces them is his own approach - steal all the powerful magic you can. Basically that is what show!Valtor does. However, that is literally just a front and not his main Objective TM and that is what brings me back to Griffin.

Not only was Griffin the only one who was ever truly his partner and not just standing by him because of the Coven's agenda or for personal gain, but she also knows his true method of collecting power - by dictating what people think. If you look at his behavior on the show, Valtor is constantly manipulating people via promises of what they want. There's the Trix, Cassandra and Chimera, Diaspro, even Bloom. Basically, the true power that he collects is the ability to control people's desires and from there directing entire kingdoms to get what he wants. And Griffin gets that. That was her goal as well - to change people's behavior towards dark magic users, which could be accomplished through Valtor's methods of drawing to his side people in key positions of power. Griffin does a certain amount of influencing the thoughts of her own students and their parents (some of whom are royalty/otherwise important political figures) as well.

She's the only one who truly gets his brilliance and he so likes to be admired. The Trix would not understand his true genius and he'd burst at the seams if that goes unrecognized. So he goes to her to brag. He wouldn't tell Griffin the most important details, of course, even if it wouldn't hurt since he's so sure of his victory over her and his ability to keep her imprisoned. This is definitely not the hurt and trust issues of her betrayal resurfacing alongside the simple fact that he misses her. Not just his partner in crime, but the person who would always appreciate him in full, see all of him and his brilliance that is so painfully disregarded by the sheer fact that his true form is characterized by the brute force of his demonic self.

You crying yet?

I should thank you for this ask since it literally focused for me Valtor's entire plan and behavior. I have a much more complete idea of the s3 story now than I did before I started attempting to answer this.

[darkpoisonouslove]

4. 5. 8.

For whichever fic has been heaviest in your mind.

That would be Fallen Love.

4. Is there anything in the fic you're unsure about including?

TW for miscarriage

There are several things, actually. Now I already worked in Icy and Stormy's deaths into this (they are both 4 at this point) so I feel like I have to mention Darcy's death as well (that Everyone Dies tag ain't there for shits and giggles). However, I don't want to make her not Griffin and Valtor's daughter... which means that Griffin had a spontaneous abortion after she ran away from the Coven. I mean, it works really well with the rest of the story but... ugh, I don't know. Don't get me wrong, I have put this into the story's DNA already so it's definitely going on the page but I am extremely anxious about it.

One of the other things is Griffin's motivation about leaving Valtor. I don't know if this is galaxy-brain plot-twist emotional devastation or absolute nonsense. I'm pretty sure it can work but it's so big that if it doesn't, it will be an epic fail. Also, I have no idea how to bring the story back to some semblance of sanity after this. I'm pretty sure I'll include it but I'll have to think about it more. Btw Valtor is lucky he's immortal because his head is going to explode once he learns about this.

5. Is there any scene you're excited about writing?

The argument in the end of chapter 2. They. Are. Both. So. Petty. It's fucking hilarious. Griffin decides that "Hey, he just killed all my friends as revenge for my betrayal. You know what would be the best course of action? To test his patience." I can't really say much without explaining the whole scene and I don't want to spoil the gut-punches outside the context that makes them so impactful. So let's hope I can get this written soon.

8. Which character is gonna have the biggest storyline?

Surprising no one, that's Griffin. There is so much happening here. She has to accept the deaths of the Company and the tragedy on Domino, has to deal with the irrational jealousy she feels over the people who actually helped Valtor accomplish all his goals, has to process the change in their partnership over his lingering feelings of betrayal, has to work through her anger towards both the Company and Valtor, has to find it in herself and step up to be the leader CT needs and all of that while failing to find the cancel button on the pop-up that flashes the words "KISS HIM" in neon red in the front of her mind. It's... a lot.

[darkpoisonouslove]

This is just me being random, so feel free to ignore.

Valtor takes Griffin prisoner when he goes to CT. He could have killed her, but he kept her alive. (Make her pay for betraying him, breaking his heart, and fucking with his ego.)

His next move is immediately to Alfea and Faragonda. Why? RF would have been simpler to take over, especially since Saladin is frailer(the 4kids version mentioned him having lots of health problems as he aged. I headcanon he fought and nearly lost to a banshee but who knows the truth?) and RF's ability to hold off against someone like Valtor isn't... The best.

But he chose Faragonda. And he taunted her about Griffin and he (as far as he was aware at the time) made a way to get rid of her in a painful way that also gave Griffin something to fret about but without killing her. After all, a tree can be extremely vulnerable. Especially to fire. (Makes for a good way to force compliance from Griffin.)

All this just to say: Valtor probably blames Faragonda for Griffin turning and definitely knows that they are together (or have feelings for each other) and he cant stand it. (Also again... They did send him to Ice Hell.)

Canon reason for Valtor not attacking RF - He doesn't give a shit about Saladin's existence AND RF probably doesn't have as many and/or as powerful spells for him to steal as Alfea does.

Mega canon reason for Valtor attacking Alfea instead of RF - He wants to hurt both Griffin and Faragonda by hurting the other and taunting them about it. (Although, he didn't tell Griffin what he did to Faragonda; she only learned from Winx.) He 100% blames Faragonda for Griffin leaving him.

You know what's really funny, though? He instantly assumed that they are still friends lovers. We know that they had a fight before season 1 and yes, they did get back together but Valtor doesn't even for a moment stop to consider that hey, maybe they aren't as close anymore. He knows Griffin left him but it doesn't even cross his mind that she may not be close with Faragonda anymore. That is fucking hilarious if you ask me. Valtor is secretly and subconsciously championing the Griffin x Faragonda ship and he's so pissed off at himself that he mostly forgot to be mad at Griffin (I mean, come on! He could have done much worse to her.)
