Azula

Alright everyone so I want to talk about Azula from ATLA! I know she is one of the shows vullans and this may have been talked about, but does anyone talk about why?! Yes Azula showed from a young age her dislike of others weaknesses and her manipulation, but no one speaks about why. Azula was a prodigy of fire bending and she was powerful from a young age! Impressing even her own father who was by no means a good man. This lead to him praising her and publicly shaming her brother teaching her that it was alright to do the same. As they both grew older and continued to train she followed the path her father said was correct one that focused on advanced techniques and power while Zuko who was not as natraully gifted had to master basic stances. This lead to even more separation of the two and she was taught this separation made her better than those around her. Their own mother took pity on her soon and saw the monster that her daughter was becoming but instead of trying to take the time to reverse the toxic lessons their father instilled their mother instead choose to chastise her and shame her for her actions. Now this only lead to her having a hatred for a mother who unlike everyone else did not praise her which she could not understand! Azula literally never had anyone who didn’t instantly praise her except for their mother. Now let’s move forward to when they have grown up! Azula and her brother have a complicated relationship due to very different upbringings. Yet Azula in her own twisted way cared for her brother. She only knew the way of honor taught by their father and she offered Zuko multiple ways to achieve this. Eventually it lead to him taking it. Flash forward to the episode on fire island. We see a side of Azula that is vulnerable and lacking. The side of human connection and it is clear then that she has sociopathic tendencies. This is helped by her always being taught she was better than everyone from an early age which alienated her. Even then she had a core group of friends who tried to help her in a situation they knew she did not do well in. Azula had good in her and in the end she choose no redeeming paths because the show needed another villain but she was also put in situations to be nothing but a villain much of her life. Yet to her she did what she was raised to believe to be right. The only person to ever guide her to the “correct” path was Ozai or those corrupt and close to Ozai. I just want more sympathy for her in the way people show sympathy for say Malfoy who was raised to have no choice but to act for the side of evil.

it is pretty annoying how the fandom erases shaggys flaws to make him into a uwu precious scoobie snack babie…like hes a coward that when push comes to shove isnt there to help out his friends lmao

[bopdawoo]

alright, lemme school your dumbass because obviously you’ve never watched scooby doo before

shaggy rogers is a hero

yes, he canonically has anxiety issues, but when it comes down to it, he is there for his friends no matter how scared he is. he cares very deeply for his friends and he would absolutely not hesitate to put himself in danger to keep them safe

in ‘music of the vampire’ when the vampire threatens his friends, shaggy’s first response is to grab a bunch of wooden stakes to attack the vampire with

later in this same movie when he (albeit falsely) believes he’s fallen victim to the vampire curse, he runs away and gets as far away from his friends as possible so there would be no chance of him harming them or inflicting the curse on them as well

and in ‘camp scare’ when the fish monster they’re dealing with hurts scooby, shaggy’s first response was to shatter a two-by-four across its face. watch it go down here, skip to about 1:30

during the climax of ‘legend of the phantosaur’ after struggling with his anxiety for the whole movie, shaggy overcomes it for the sake of saving the lives of his friends and the villains who put them in danger in the first place

in ‘ghoul school’, without any help from fred, daphne, or velma, shaggy saves the lives of several monster kids, and in ‘reluctant werewolf’ when he’s cursed to become a werewolf, he wins back his humanity in just under two days, again without help from fred, daphne, or velma

hell, the whole plot of ‘goblin king’ was about shaggy and scooby travelling into the realm of monsters, the very things he’s afraid of mos, so he can save his friends from being turned into monsters themselves. and he does save them

and those are just the examples i could think of off the top of my head!

shaggy is as essential to the gang as everyone else is. he’s the one who repeatedly throws himself headfirst into the path of the monster of the week to lead it into fred’s traps, despite his anxiety issues, because he’s the only one fast enough not to get caught. fun fact! he’s won multiple awards in high school for gymnastics and athletics. he isn’t just all about fear and food. he’s a friendly, caring person who would do anything for his friends, and on top of all this?

he’s only seventeen. of course he’s scared, he’s just a kid.

tl;dr, shaggy rogers is more than his anxiety

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

canonically, shaggy and scoob have dealt with more real monsters than the entire gang.

the mystery gang tends to unmask humans. The exceptions (authentic monsters, zombies, witches, ghosts, etc) are in certain movies. some of which (Zombie Island, the Witch’s Ghost) involve the full gang. Others (Ghoul School, Reluctant Werewolf, the Boo Brothers) have Shaggy and Scoob (and Scrappy) on their own adventures. 

oh hey and in ghoul school, looking for some peace and quiet, they get hired as gym teachers at a school for girls, that turns out to be a school for ghouls. Despite being terrified,  

they stay, become fantastic teachers, inspire their students and lead them to victory in the volleyball champion, and then risk their lives saving the students from an evil witch and spider minions. 

oh and they befriend an adult mummy, vampire, wolfman, and phantom along the way

not to mention whenever they hang with the rest of the gang, they invariably get used trap bait against their expressed wishes. but still they stick around

oh, and despite their reluctance, scoob and shaggy regularly play some of the most vital roles in the gang’s adventures, to the point the movie posters regularly feature them as the most prominent members. the rest of the gang may provide the motivation, but shaggy and scooby are the lifeblood of the show:

conclusion: Shaggy Rogers and Scoobert Doo have enormous hearts that lead them to face their greatest fears on an almost daily basis for the sake of protecting those they care about.

PROTECT AND APPRECIATE SHAGGY ROGERS

[littlegoddesshestia]

Also, THEY ARE ALWAYS RUNNING AROUND LIKE CRAZY AND DOING SUPER DANGEROUS STUFF. THEY ARE BURNING MORE CALORIES THAN THEY HAVE IN THEIR BODIES. OF COURSE THEY’RE GONNA EAT LIKE CRAZY. IF THEY DON’T EAT CONSTANTLY THEY’LL DIE.

Also the mystery machine was originally Shaggy’s but he gave it to Fred because he’s too anxious to drive more often than not. Miss me with this fake as shit about my favorite guy.

In this house, we stan Norville “Shaggy” Rogers.

[thebesthuntingdog]

Shaggy would be a great Green lantern

[spiffylindster]

He actively supports his friends interests even if they are outside of his own and when presented with opportunities to call out one of his friends on their occasional b.s. he typically keeps his personal knowledge to himself because he cares about them and doesn’t want to cause them embarrassment. Per the comics his support is why the rest of the gang managed to be comfortable with themselves enough to follow their various quirky interests which is why Mystery Inc is able to exist in the first place. There’s also the fact that while the show makes his fears comedic, they are in reality completely legitimate. Shaggy knows real dangerous monsters exist, he knows the supernatural is real, and he knows that people with or without masks can be dangerous. It is canon that he has been dealing with this stuff since he was at least a toddler. Not only do villains constantly chase him and try to capture him, occasionally succeeding, they have also tried to shoot him, stab him, drown him, push him off of ledges, blow him up, run him over, suffocate him, freeze him to death, smash his skull in with blunt objects, burn him alive, seal him into a wall, run him off the road while driving, toss him out of planes while in flight, trapped him with large, hungry, predatory animals in hopes that the animal would kill and eat him, etc. and that’s just off the top of my head. 

He has watched friends, acquaintances, and complete strangers be nearly killed and often was the one who jumped into the fray to keep that from happening. Despite Daphne often being referred to as a damsel in distress character and her alliterative Danger Prone Daphne nickname, if you watch the various series and movies, Shaggy is actually the most danger prone, most frequently captured, and also most often injured character in the series. Yes, he often jumps at things that end up being innocuous, but ptsd and anxiety are real things, and let’s be honest, if all of the above was my every day life, I’d be pretty darn jumpy too. Shaggy is the voice of reason in the group. When the gang is inevitably informed that some giant beast in the area has been rampaging about causing destruction, and kidnapping and/or trying to murder people, he has every right to voice concern over intentionally going out to search for the thing, especially when he himself attracts that danger and the supernatural more than anyone else in the gang, including Scooby. If a pathway looks dangerous and he points it out, everyone else will roll their eyes and keep going and he’ll inevitably follow them and its his feet it ends up crumbling under. His completely valid concerns are constantly dismissed and he’s usually the one who ends up suffering the consequences for it. And while I agree he would make a great green lantern, he was in canon a pretty awesome yellow lantern.

There have been many hints throughout the series that Shaggy actually obliviously wields magic and Scooby is his familiar, which was basically made canon in Goblin King and there was a gag about it in a Be Cool Scooby Doo episode. Read more about this 

here and here also here and lastly here

In the above comic, Shaggy manipulated the ring without even trying while Sinestro was both wearing it and actively trying to wield it, and then it flew off of Sinestro’s finger and onto Shaggy’s.  As his familiar, Scooby is affected by the ring too. Sinestro freaks out about them having the ability to both cause and instill the greatest fear of all. There’s another team-up comic with Green Arrow and Green Lantern where Psycho Pirate shows up and uses his ability to cause the rest of the gang to feel sheer terror and flee, this has seemingly no affect on Shaggy and Scooby because that’s just their normal state.

The big takeaway here is that despite all of the perfectly legitimate reasons to be scared listed above, the yellow lantern comic suggests that the primary reason Shaggy is actually afraid is that he’s been taking his ability to cause and instill the greatest fear of all and subconsciously inflicting all of it on himself (and unwittingly on Scooby as well due to their connection). He has stated that his greatest dislike is being afraid, so he’s basically wielding the feeling he dislikes most in the world at epic proportions onto himself because he would never want anyone else to have to feel that way, all the while still managing to investigate spooky places, find clues, solve mysteries, be a good friend, act as bait, and throw himself into danger for the sake of others. So yeah, Shaggy is a hero and his friends should give him all the hugs because he sure as heck deserves them.

Journey to Felicity

Epilogue

Those flat Earther’s were right. I had always just thought they were a bunch of fools but damn it they got everything. The wall of ice, the cia cover ups, even the curve theory. All of it!

I remember the day we all found out. It was about three years ago. You know those days where you’ll always remember where you were. You remember the finest details of everything. Yeah it wasn’t one of those days.

The world had pretty much gone numb to shock, honestly the only thing that surprises anyone was good things. Now that’s not to say nothing good had come out of the last hundred years or so, and a lot of issues had been addressed. Mostly the general atmosphere of the world had gotten worse. People talked less and worried more. The government had access to everything, and the population knew so little.

When the news broke about the flat earth cover up it was just a minor blip in histories radar. Most people didn’t even know what was the significance of it anymore. It was just another lie. I remember the little bing on everyone’s phone, and most people just swiped it away. It didn’t matter.

Anyways I’m getting off topic, the point is the earth was flat. Eventually people began to care, and some of those with a good amount of money actually decided to investigate.

My name is Eric, and I was one of those who wanted to know more than a blip on my screen. I wanted to see what was so important behind those walls. If you’re reading this then you’ve found my last words to this world. This diary is all that is left of me... maybe.

Life and Death

Fire rained down from the heavens. The earth had split open and you could see the tortured far below the surface, but their cries felt so near. I was the only one left walking the empty wastes of our planet. Armageddon had not taken me yet.

I walked into a bar. The earth may be deserted, but the booze was all still there. A bright flash blinded my vision. Damned gods always need a flashy entrance. A slightly younger woman was standing in front of me. She had bright white hair, and a kind almost timeless face. Her eyes were shining yellow like the sun. Beside her stood a well dressed man.

Beelzebub was dressed sharply, a three piece pin stripe suit. He had a nicely trimmed beard that came to a sharp point. So many people talk about him with cloven hooves and a pair of horns, but he looks more like a lawyer then a king of the damned.

“Hello child” she said said to me in a voice as warm and gentle as a summer breeze. “We have come to show you the way to your next journey.”

“Oh can we get on with this please!” He snapped aggressively. “Let’s find out why he didn’t get separated like the others and leave.”

“Don’t mind him.” She spoke to me like a child. I had always admired the mother, she had a beautiful way of commanding the world. Many believed her to be a father to man kind, but what father could have such scorn and contempt for those who wronged her in terrible ways.

“You have always been like this. Everything I do is wrong, but it’s not like I wanted this job,” He shot at her.

The two of them were always in these bickering matches. I can remember them from the beginning. Unfortunately they never were much for paying attention to me. Death has a way of eluding the minds of beings such as these two. Even though I’m responsible for those they rule in their kingdoms.

As the two of them continued to bicker back and forth I sat down for a drink. I grabbed a bottle of scotch that was sitting on the bar and helped myself. Drinking on the job had become normal for me since I began to live amongst the humans. I finished my drink as they argued and finally spoke up.

“Alright you two I know why you’re here, but you don’t seem to know why I am.”

“Of course not you should be dead. I one is perfectly aligned enough to be spared from this,” Beelzebub began in frustration. He was confused.

“Child you must have tipped the scales in some way,” she asked warmly.

“The two of you really have no idea who I am?” Both of them looked at one another. A hint of suspicion began to crop up between the two of them. I sat silently as they tried to work it out in their minds. Finally they had come to their conclusion, and a look of shock came to their faces.

“Death?!” They exclaimed at once.

“Yes my children. All kingdoms must fall, and today is that day. The two of you have had your time.”

“Children?” They again sounded puzzled.

“You didn’t truly believe you existed before everything. You have always known there was a reason, something has always created the gods. Even the mortals you claim to rule knew that.”

I could see the fantasy world they had created in their minds crumbling. Then just like any being that is trapped in a corner they were left with two options. Fight or flight. They chose the later.

[characterdesigninspiration]

Quite a few people requested some form of trait/personality generator, and here’s the result!  I wanted to keep it vague enough that the options could work for any universe, be it modern, fantasy, scifi, or anything else, so these are really just the basics. Remember that a character is much more than a list of traits, and this should only be used as a starting point– I tried to include a variety of things, but further development is definitely a must.

Could pair well with the gender and sexuality generator.

To Play: Click and drag each gif, or if that isn’t working/you’re on mobile, just take a screenshot of the whole thing (multiple screenshots may be required if you want more than one trait from each category).
