Fred Jones - All American Rich Boy!

#I do NOT like modern interpretations of Fred as the 'dumb jock' archetype #I /know/ that Daphne is canonically the richest but I don't like that either - maybe its my 2020 vision but Fred LOOKS the preppiest/richest #Daphne does not read as rich to me #Fred has money to buy materials for all his traps and to get very into something so obscure #his dad thought maybe it'd make him get into hunting but no....no hunting for Freddy boy - just catching no-gooders #Fred is the leader and he's not cool at all (Daphne is cool) #but he CARES!! #Fred is the only member of the gang who'd never say fuck and he pretends he doesn't think its shocking when they do but he does #Fred's personality has no modern equivalent to me he is firmly just what 50's adults thought a Good Kid was like and people think he is VERY #weird and don't like him because of it (except for adults and old ladies and stray animals and babies) #He's not bragging in that speech bubble btw he's explaining why it's fine that the mystery machine broke down (bc Velma's freaking out about #how to pay him back for it and what his dad's gonna think) #Fred: Dad can I borrow that old van? #His Dad: Sure son! Sooo...you got anyone in particular you're taking for a ride~? #Fred: (not picking up on the machoman vibes but thinks he is) A few someones in fact~! #His Dad: THAT'S my boy! -thumps his back- #Fred Jones #Fred Jones art #scooby doo #scooby doo art #little known fact about me is that I love the original scooby doo and that's all #I love you bad animation I love you muted color palette I love you disconcerting laugh track #Also out of all of them Shaggy is the jock - he's a runner he's a track star
