Aziraphale's Ascot: An Analysis

What's most interesting to me about the ascot Aziraphale is wearing when he turns up in Crowley's car in 1967 is that it's very fashionable.

An ascot (American), or day cravat (British), is a band of material meant to be worn inside the shirt collar, terminated on each end with a long wide tongue of that same fabric.

The band goes around the back of the neck, and the tongues are tied in the front and tucked into the open neck of a collared shirt. An ascot displays a wide sweep of color just below the wearer's face to flatter their complexion and show their personality.

And the late 1960s was the ascot's peak of popularity. The Duke of Windsor wore them; the mods wore them; British Invasion bands wore them. Fred wears an ascot in the Scooby-Doo cartoons. Lance Corporal Shadwell wears one. They were a huge trend.

On the surface this doesn't seem like Aziraphale at all. His previous appearances indicate his stylishness in ancient Rome is merely serendipitous overlap of Roman fashion with his personal preferences for white robes, blond hair in a Brutus cut, and gold wing-themed jewellery. In 1601, 1793, 1941, and all contemporary scenes, his style is decades to more than a century off the fashion of its time. We know he's into bow ties by 1941, and he's hardly one to adopt a style merely because it's popular; so why the ascot in 1967?

One possible explanation is that Aziraphale misses the clothing of the Victorian period and leaps at the chance to wear something that harks back to a time when he felt at home, sartorially speaking.

I don't think that's it, though, at least not in Show Omens. For one thing, traditional ascot ties (what a British person would call an ascot or an ascot tie, rather than a day cravat) are not at all the same accessory as the ascots of the 1960s: they're formal rather than semi-casual daywear; they're made of thicker silk, often with a woven rather than printed pattern; and they're worn outside the shirt and collar. More importantly, we've got two scenes of Aziraphale in the Victorian period, and he's not wearing an ascot tie in either of them: he's wearing a long cravat tied in a wide bow, a precursor to his bow ties.

I therefore propose a different explanation for the ascot of 1967.

As Aziraphale has clearly never been anywhere near a polyester fibre in the whole of his celestial existence, and as he always affects an appearance of idle hereditary wealth, we must presume that this--

--is silk. (In fact in the 1960s, a silk ascot in light colors was a signal of upper-class status.)

And we know Aziraphale likes silk, because by 2023 he's been wearing a silk velvet waistcoat for 200 years.

I again advance the argument that, despite himself, Aziraphale is a voluptuary by nature: a person who directs their energies toward the pursuit and enjoyment of pleasure, especially (but not solely) sensual pleasure.

He can control his appearance at will, and yet he has a barber; that means he enjoys the pleasure of a haircut and maybe a hot shave. (I have similar suspicions about his manicured hands.) The barber has recommended new cologne, which means Aziraphale has an old cologne, which means he likes to smell beautiful scents. He eats for sensual pleasure. He drinks for sensual pleasure (much more so than Crowley, who drinks for the pleasure and escape of inebriation). He listens to music for sensual pleasure. He attends the theater for pleasure. Reading is as much a sensual pleasure inside your own head as it is intellectual self-stimulation (which is its own kind of pleasure in turn); and believe me, collecting books is as much a sensual pleasure as a logistical and a philosophical one.

Aziraphale even agrees to an Arrangement with a demon to give himself more spare time for his pursuit of human pleasures. And then he and the demon become friends, because what could be a greater pleasure than indulging yourself in the good company of someone clever and kind and beautiful, who flirts with you and tells wicked jokes you mustn't laugh at--except perhaps for the pleasure of making that person smile in return?

Fun fact: The silk of which casual ascots are made is finer than the silk of either traditional ascot ties or neckties, because ascots/day cravats are made to be worn inside rather than outside the collar.

In 1967, instead of his usual crisp bow tie around his usual tightly buttoned collar, Aziraphale wears an open collar and a day cravat because the fashion of the 1960s lets him keep silk against his skin.

And there's one other thing, too. Compare Aziraphale's ascot to Lance-Corporal Shadwell's, or to the standard ascot knot:

The edge of Azirapale's ascot sits below the edge of his shirt collar where it should sit above, and the cascade spills almost an inch in front of his Adam's apple instead of flush against his neck. Aziraphale has tied his ascot low and loose.

It allows him to bare more of his throat to Crowley than has been sanctioned by custom for 2,000 years.

How long after Aziraphale reverted to bow ties did Crowley think about that?

CATCHING MY BREATH, STARING OUT AN OPEN WINDOW

Maddox Grimwood is based on Matches from Scooby-Doo. He is a 27 year old tattoo artist, dragonborn, and uses he/him pronouns. He has the power of fire manipulation, temperature control, and shifting. Maddox is portrayed by Nick Galitzine and he is taken.

CATCHING MY DEATH, AND I COULDN’T BE SURE

Not much is known about where Maddox came from. He was left on the doorstep at Miss Grimwood’s, a finishing school for young ghouls, as a baby with only a short note attached. In the note it stated his name– Maddox, but just that and he was descended from an ancient bloodline. Whoever wrote the note asked that Miss Grimwood take care of him and so she did. She raised the young boy as if he were her own and he took on her last name. It wasn’t long before he started showing signs of abilities like Miss Grimwood had never seen before. Small fires became a regular thing where they lived and Maddox had to learn at a young age to control his temper tantrums. He was one that was quick to anger and when he did, well, sometimes things got a little out of control. He’s not the best at biting his tongue but he tries. As he grew up he was taught the basics alongside the ghouls who he became close with, vowing to protect them and take care of them in any way. He was sort of like their weird, older brother. Life seemed to be alright, he stayed with Miss Grimwood and helped her with most anything she asked despite his complaints. Then one day the ghouls started disappearing one by one and Maddox felt like he was a failure. He promised to find them and went out and the last thing he could remember before waking up in Evermore was leaving and bidding Miss Grimwood goodbye. Memories of life before Evermore were hazy, he knew he was out on a mission to find the ghouls but memories of Miss Grimwood were few and far between. The minute he realized he was trapped Maddox had to get his act together so he could adjust to his new life. He got a job apprenticing at a tattoo shop, slowly working his way up into a permanent position. His apartment was fine, but he still needed to finish what he came looking for. He knew he was stuck in Evermore for a reason and that was to find the ghouls. He just knew they were there and he was determined to find them. When he finally did he felt relieved, but now what? They were all stuck there and Miss Grimwood was left alone. Despite being settled for the most part Maddox still wants a way out. He spends a lot of time reading, researching a way but oftentimes he winds up reading old lore, anything he can find out about what he really was and where he could have possibly come from. Answers were difficult to find, but he’s slowly starting to think he might be stuck… forever.

I HAD A FEELING SO PECULIAR

Malina Saleh: Maddox doesn’t trust her at all. She has poked her head in his business before and he doesn’t appreciate it. He avoids her the best he can but for some reason it feels like she always has eyes on him. He’s not sure what she wants or her end goal, but he isn’t sure he wants to find out. Zane Olson: Zane is a very good friend of Maddox. If he had to say someone was his best friend he would probably say Zane. The two even each other out and it’s a good balance in their friendship. Peri Windsor: Fire and ice don’t always mesh well together and neither do Maddox and Peri on most days. That doesn’t stop them from hooking up every now and then though. He doesn’t mind her company but their friction is trying at times.

THAT THIS PAIN WOULD BE FOR EVERMORE

It's spooky season so I just have to ask, what's everyone being for Halloween? I can't settle on any single idea for any of them, but I can imagine Seb, Styx, and Quin doing that tiktok ghost challenge that's been going on for the past few years

This is the MOST important question ever asked and we've just spent over an hour deliberating in our production team group chat North: Night Shift Coffee throws a Halloween party every year, and it's a big deal for North, who was born to throw Halloween parties. For 2022, it's Max Mayfield from Stranger Things S4 with white-out contacts. If they weren't working, it'd be The Jackal from the movie Thirteen Ghosts, complete with head cage.

Justin: If Justin had gotten his way, he'd have dressed as Sailor Moon - but couple costumes with his girlfriend are an obligation, and she gets what she wants, so Justin and Celia come as Drogo and Daenerys. Celia loves Game of Thrones and Justin's shirtless, so it's a win-win for her (when North sees him, they get a bit dizzy)

Seb & Angelo: Angelo doesn't do Halloween, but since he's agreed to the party, he lets Seb coerce him into a priest outfit ("It's basically just a shirt with a collar, you won't even notice you're wearing a costume") because it was an easy win and Seb is not immune to hot priest, and then Seb spends like 4 hours on the sexiest demon costume he can put together, complete with eyeliner, horns and a tail

Quin: Quin hasn't really celebrated Halloween before but seeing as everyone around him now is super into it, he gives it a go and dresses as Morpheus from The Sandman because he's had some comments saying that's his vibe

Styx: Styx goes as Seb.

Phoebe & Spencer: Phoebe is always adorable on Halloween so she goes as Bo Peep from Toy Story. Spencer is always intentionally obnoxious on Halloween, so he goes as Jesus. He's extra obnoxious when he sees Seb and Angelo's costumes.

Cam: Cam dresses up as a mushroom, in a cute little white dress with a homemade red and white spotted mushroom shawl that lights up

Diego: Diego has been tempted out by Cam and his budding friendship with Seb (and Styx, sort of) so he's coming as Gandalf - but like, Gandalf the Beer Wizard. Staff made of empty beer cans, beard made of cotton wool.

Jenny: Velma from Scooby-Doo, with added lesbian pride this year, complete with oversized magnifying glass

Lea: Lea fully intends on an extensive costume but she runs out of time because she's working, and ends up throwing a Rosie the Riveter together last minute. It looks great all the same.

Olivia: It's gotta be slutty for Olivia, and this year it's Jennifer Check in her cheerleader outfit with blood all over her mouth.

Mira: There was no deliberation on this – Mira comes in an ABBA disco jumpsuit with platform boots. The coffee shop rents a karaoke machine and Mira and Seb hog it for half an hour

Rafe: To Angelo's horror, Rafe and Seb are friends now, so Rafe's coming too. He dresses up as a Dad. Socks and sandals, knee-length cargo shorts, fanny pack, Kiss the Cook apron. It's dad joke time, ALL the time this halloween

Miles: God knows why Miles is at the Night Shift halloween party but he is. He heard Angelo was going and wasn't going to miss an opportunity to bother him. He's wearing a full suit on his upper half - suit jacket, shirt, tie in a windsor knot, cufflinks - and fishnets and booty shorts with high heels on the bottom ;)

With the official announcement of Velma being gay in scooby doo I want to announce to the world my head cannons, as someone who has seen pretty much all of the franchise.

Velma - 100% gay however discovering this was delayed by the legend of the phantasaur where in Velma falls in love with and goes on a date with Windsor. Nonetheless, she figured it out fairly quickly.

Fred - legit an ally. He’s definitely straight but also a himbo so that gives him points. If anything he would probably be in a poly relationship, but I like to believe that he’s just madly in love with Daphne. He supports Velma although he doesn’t quite understand it.

Daphne - bi but leans more towards men. Her relationship with Velma is best friends (as they are the only two girls in the group they feel more comfortable talking about stuff) however they would get mistaken as a couple outside due to their close nature. In love with Fred, although sometimes it’s clear and other times it not. Fred hasn’t noticed cause he’s an idiot.

Shaggy - honestly I don’t quite know where to place shaggy. He’s been in love multiple times throughout the show. I’d like to say something is there but considering his main personality is jokes, cowardess, and food, it’s hard to pin point. He fell in love with an alien once too, so he could just be into personality more than looks.

Scooby - he’s a dog and not bound by the laws of relationships and gender. He’s a god.

#I feel like Velma would come out to fred and fred doesn’t quite get it #but understands that Velma is into girls #and just goes #“so you’re also into girls #and Velma would agree #and he would just loudly says #wow we! we can talk about girls now!#cause all shaggy wants to talk about is food #scooby doo #lgbtq #lesbian velma #velma dinkley #scooby gang

Mike Tindall reveals royal cousins' secret lunch at Jubilee celebrations

So much speculation. I thought Scooby-Doo put out that they had lunch with the Queen at Windsor after TTC. Now we are supposed to wonder if they were invited to the secret lunch... it seems that secret events is what it is all about these days in order to let Rachel put out her fake PR and then boom, BRF comes out and says actually this is what happened on that day. They couldn't be in Windsor with the Queen because the cousins had lunch at BP presumably with HM. And the biggest irony it included the non-working cousins too.... 😆

The Way You Shake and Shiver

by claremontdiazfox In retrospect, pushing Henry up against the wall of the gymnasium and shoving his hand down the front of his pants probably wasn’t the smartest idea with an airborne attacker on the loose. But he looked so cute in that little orange necktie he’s always wearing and his lips were such a pretty pink, just begging to be kissed. Alex couldn’t help himself. He pulls back to find Henry staring wide-eyed at something over his shoulder and he slowly, then all at once, becomes aware of a loud buzzing drilling into his ears. “The Wailing Wasp is right behind me, isn’t it?” he asks. Henry nods. "Run?" "Run!" Alex agrees. (or, Mystery, Inc., are an amateur crime-solving group of friends. Inspired by this tweet.)

What an eleven year old gets wrong about Scooby do (a response

I’m glad that we have all agreed that the abomination known as Velma however strangely enough an eleven year old girl who somehow is a publisher in a magazine block is saying that Scooby doo is bad and Velma is good now you’re probably thinking why are you responding to this she’s an 11 year old kid and too that I say if she’s old enough to post in a magazine she’s old enough to be corrected now let’s go

Okay first off the fact that you’re eleven years old and you watched Velma bring me some concern because Velma is a very adult show (somehow!)with both its content and humor if you were 14-18 I’d be less bewildered but should your parents be letting you watch this?

Well yes these are all valid reasons for both sides to dislike it as one it’s a cheap attempt to be representative by taking an established skin color intrest and changing just to appeal to the left instead of genuine creativity and her personality is awful and liberals hate it because it’s a poor attempt at being woke some even go so far as to say it feels like satire of the left then a genuine representation

No there was more than that there was the slapstick the wisecracks the chase scenes the disguises and the stoner thing didn’t start until James gunns film I’ll have you know so this tells me you didn’t watch the original show which puts the rest of your criticisms into question.

And guess who was the one who started that trend it was Scooby doo

Funny? Please and that’s an insult there are a lot of people who loved the original Velma and found charm in how she was portrayed she was the smart and nerdy girl in the group and that’s what we loved about her and as far as her being flat yeah that was the point this was back when cartoons were made to entertain people that’s like complaining the looney tunes are flat Tom and Jerry are flat Mickey and his friends are flat

News flash Snot nose! She was interested in boys before like Ben ravencroft(witches ghost) and windsor(phantosaurus) so it didn’t confirm anything if anything it retconned and I care because it did exactly that (and don’t reference Buffy again please)

Well it’s normal for most actors to play similar roles due to the fact that it’s what they are good at for instance Jim Carey typically plays in these comedic eccentric roles whereas Tim curry is fond of playing villains the difference is those people are able to put a different twist on each role but that’s not what I heard I heard it’s because Velma in this show feels like nothing more than a mindy kaling self insert and to say Velma has never had a personality is asinine I’ve seen other shows give her a unique personality that was well what you described whereas Mindy kailing’s velma is a total jerk a know it all someone close to being a Mary sue and she isn’t funny she’s just a jerk (and Daphne has a personality you know)

Yes we all knew that shaggy’s real name is norville your not impressing anybody and he isn’t complex considering he basically develops in reverse and it’s very poorly done to consider Velma treats him like trash

There were more jokes than just those two and Scooby Isn’t important he’s the face of the franchise he and shaggy’s bond is one of the most iconic things in cartoon history about as iconic as bugs and daffy or Tom and Jerry and the more serious interpretations show that Scooby is the glue that holds the team together

That’s not funny that’s being pathetic and the Scooby doo joke was horrible it was so on the nose a good in joke should be something that those who have done their research will understand for instance in animaniacs one of my favorite in jokes was this

youtube

The joke here is funny because once you know the whole backstory it puts everything here in a funnier light

Scooby doo has been a part of my childhood for a long while I remember growing up watching reruns on the boomerang channel this is one of the most influential cartoons of all time and the see it desecrated and devalued just ticked me off if 11 year olds are exposing themselves to this drivel I worry for our future that’s my response let me know what you think

whatre ur thoughts on the Velma show if you’ve watched it. (I saw ur user and I thought the new show was really bad and I am sad) u seem like you’re user is for old scooby doo

I haven’t actually watched the new Velma show (and i don’t really plan to, i have so much going on i don’t have time for normal television anyway),

I’ve only heard that it’s supposed to be really bad and that they make Fred a misogynist. (as someone who didn’t like fred as a kid, that still makes me sad cause he’s kind of just vibing. c’mon. like, man cries over his van. i cried when it blew up in that one movie and all that was left was the antenna ball. “this was her favorite antenna ball” *cue eight year old me sobbing at five thirty in the morning*)

but, scooby doo was my favorite thing EVER ages 6-8, and velma was actually my favorite character. (young autistic lesbian projecting.)

When I was just about to turn seven I found the movie Scooby Doo: Where’s my mummy at the library so my scooby and egypt obsessions ran in tandem for a while. I ended up getting a ton of the 70s scoobs on DVD.

i’d also go to the library for the newer movies and things like Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School, (which i miss dearly), a pup named scooby doo (which is wonderful and i still watch it), and 13 ghosts of scooby doo in all its low budget glory, with Flim Flam, Vincent Price, 80s Daphne, Scrappy, and shaggy in a red shirt for some reason.

i don’t think i should’ve been allowed to watch scooby doo and the phantasaur (which is so godly and amazing and i fucking miss it and has a guy velma!!! named WINDSOR!!! trans masc internal battle)and the live action ones as many times as i did. those were literally my favorites out of the dvds i owned and i vividly remember my dad asking me what the hell i was watching when i had phantasaur on. it’s also funny to see how oblivious I was to the raunchy humor in the live action ones, since my favorite was the one where they switch bodies, like the “i’ve got a chicks body” “i can look at myself naked” one.

But yeah, i love scooby doo and i love ranting on tumblr when i should be asleep, so, in short, my username is for old scooby doo, not the Velma show. Electric blue is also a reference to my favorite David Bowie song Sound and Vision, off of one of his Berlin albums, Low. Electric Blue rhymed with Scooby doo, so i paired them cause i love them.

anyway, thanks for the ask anon. live long and prosper 🖖

#ask #anon #scooby doo #velma #another one of my long rants #but yes i love scooby doo a lot #my mom made sure i was basically raised on watered down hippie culture #because she was obsessed with the beatles and subsequently the 60s in high school #goodnight tumblr

From that GMA tweet: "Will the Windsors survive the royal rift?" Can someone please inform GMA that less than 100 years ago, a king abdicated and still the monarchy keeps chugging along? And I bet Scooby Doo had a hand in planning this series to air *this* week. 🙄 He looks more and more like a braying donkey to me. Or, you know, a jackass.

Mad King George anyone?

King Henry VIII literally changed the religion of the entire country over 500 years ago.

England even killed off King Charles I in 1649 where Oliver Cromwell took over and then his son tried but he fled to France and the monarchy was restored.

The only thing that makes the Meghan and Harry issue questionable in regards to the monarchy is because of social media and the wokeness of the world right now.

If this happened 25 years ago, no one would have cared.

The first time the gang sees the first phantosaur, Windsor rushes back to save the professor. Scooby rushes back to save Shaggy, who was frozen in fear from his acute threat avoidance hypertrophy disorder. At first glance, Windsor is being a doofus, leaving shaggy behind and running away with the professor. But in actuality, he did the right thing: he let scooby doo, service dog, do his job without interference.

February 5, 2021: The Notebook (2004)(Part 1)

...Do I have to?

...The year was 2004. I was 13, my Mom was still into romance movies, and we had a Hollywood Video nearby. God, I miss Hollywood Video, you have NO idea. Anyway, I obviously didn’t watch this movie (or I wouldn’t be watching it now), but I do remember kissing in the rain...or was that just the DVD cover? Other than that, I got nothin’. Still, I like both Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling in other works, so I guess we’ll see.

I also can’t start this without acknowledging the fact that this is based upon a Nicholas Sparks book, and...I’m not into that. Sparks sucks, man. Sappy, overemotional, and constantly predictable folderol.

OK, Nicholas Sparks, let’s get this over with. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Recap

We start with scenic shots of a boat rowing through a marsh, being visited by a flock of snow geese. As they fly off, an elderly woman (Gena Rowlands) looks out of a window over it. The woman is in an old-folks home, and is visited by Duke (James Garner), another resident. He’s here to read from a book, despite it not being a “good day,” according to the woman’s attendant.

The story in the book begins on June 6, 1940, at a carnival in South Carolina. There, Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling) sees Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams), and it’s infatuation at first sight. He’s a lumber yard worker, and she’s a rich heiress. He’s also EXTREMELY forward, and she’s EXTREMELY not interested. He approaches her for a dance (at a...carnival), and she says no, having literally never seen this guy before. He responds to this rejection by...butting into her date with another dude of a Ferris Wheel?

And when she once again rejects his offer for a date...he, uh...he threatens to kill himself off of the Ferris Wheel?

Um. Yeah, no. That’s a new level of manipulation. She pants him on the Ferris Wheel and humiliates him, but JESUS CHRIST, this dude is a lot. That’s compounded the next day, when he continues to pursue her, and she continues to be EXTREMELY not interested! DUDE. GET A GODDAMN CLUE HERE, she is NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR SHIT.

Is Noah the first simp? Because he’s really starting to seem like it. Anyway, Noah and his friend Fin (Kevin Connolly) basically set her up to go on a double date with Noah, and he continues to be overly forward. Maybe this is supposed to be romantic, but it definitely doesn’t feel like it to me.

We find out that Allie is a quite well-educated young woman, whose schedule is basically completely controlled by her parents, who want her to go to college as well. Noah questions why her life is so restrictive, nothing that she should be free, which she insists she is. He then lies down in the middle of the road, watching the street...lights…

Holy shit, he’s a manic pixie dream boy. HOLY SHIT HE’S A MANIC PIXIE DREAM SIMP. He does all these quirky things, and breaks the girl in the restrictive lifestyle out of said lifestyle. Even if his dumbass actions nearly get him and Allie killed. See, she lies down in the street with him, and they nearly get run over by a car. And this second near-death experience is apparently SO romantic, that Allie’s won over, and they...just dance in the middle of the street. Because Ryan Gosling has no idea where to dance, apparently.

Billie Holiday sings “I’ll Be Seeing You” in the background (which, yes, I love), and we cut back to Duke reading to the elderly woman, who correctly guesses that they fell in love. And yeah, they go head-over-heels, apparently. Which is symbolized by, just, the most graphic of PDAs over, lord.

Allie meets Noah’s father, Frank (Sam Shepard), a seemingly nice man and poetry fan (he’s a Tennyson man apparently). He asks her if she wants breakfast-for-dinner, and he’s my favorite character so far.

However, as if to set up the conflict to come, we’re reminded that this is a summer romance, and that they come from two different classes and worlds. Because of course they do, but whatever, moving on. That is when the following scene takes place.

youtube

...Look, I’m a bird guy by trade, and even I think that was weird.

We get more glimpses of their romance, including them dancing at a gathering with...a bunch of black peopNOPE. HOLD YOUR TONGUE, 365, WAIT FOR THE REVIEW TO TALK ABOUT THAT SHIT. At the end of this montage, we meet Allie’s father, the uppity and rich John Hamilton (David Thornton), and his GLORIOUS mustache (mustache).

He invites Noah to Sunday brunch, which is being attended by...black servaHOOOOOOLD. NOT NOW 365 NOT NOW. We also meet Allie’s controlling mother, Anne Hamilton (Joan Allen). When Noah tells them how much money he makes, they immediately look down on him and his poor, poor ways. Anne reveals that Allie is headed to Sarah Lawrence, an all-girl’s school in New York. Which is, uh...NOT close.

Anne very much disapproves of her relationship with Noah, seeing him as a low-born of little consequence. Not that it matters, because the two head to a DEFINITELY HAUNTED house in the woods one night, which overlooks the marshlands. The bats from the Scooby-Doo intro fly by as the two walk in to, again, AN ABSOLUTELY HAUNTED HOUSE. This is the 1772 Windsor Plantation, home to...the Swamp Fox? Huh. Didn’t expect a crossover with the Mel Gibson movie The Patriot, but OK then.

The two talk about their house in the future, and somewhere in the house, a painting’s eyes move mysteriously. Allie plays a tune on the piano, which 1) sounds AMAZINGLY creepy, and 2) I’m pretty sure is the opening song, which is a neat touch. Guess that’s the theme for the movie, or possibly Allie’s leitmotif.

Anyway, it seems that the ghostly wails of Old Man Marion have gotten them both all hot and bothered, and they prepare to make love, right there in the old haunted house. The two undress while social distancing, then approach, significantly raising their risks of contracting COVID-19. Allie is CLEARLY very nervous, and as they attempt to begin the dirty deed, Allie can’t stop rambling about the current situation. Which is clearly putting Noah off the mood, but the two still clearly care about each other. It’s weirdly sweet, considering the fact that there’re, like, 50 ghosts watching, and God knows how many of those are slaaaaaaaAAAANYWAY

Fin suddenly bursts in, as it would appear that Allie’s parents have every policeman in town looking for her. Her parents are clearly upset, and her mother demands that Allie stops seeing Noah, whom she literally describes as “trash.” Jesus. And they aren’t exactly quiet about it, as Noah hears the entire conversation. He understandably leaves, and is also clearly disheartened by the whole situation.

When Allie catches up to him, he says he has to think about this whole thing, including the fact that she’s going to Sarah Lawrence, and he’s staying behind. And I’m not gonna lie, he’s actually being realistic about this whole thing, and she’s acting FAR less rational. She actually breaks up with him right then and there, and as she’s literally physically assaulting him, I realize that SHE is actually the psychologically unstable one, HOLY SHIT. Emotionally compromised or not, Allie goes BONKERS here.

The next day, her folks decide that they’re leaving, that very day. Allie doesn’t want to leave without making amends with Noah, and she’s regretting her actions the previous night. She goes to Fin, and tells him to tell Noah that she loves him, and that she’s sorry. Noah shows up a little too late, and goes to return the comments, but Allie’s already gone.

Noah somehow gets her address, and writes her 365 letters, one letter every day. He never gets one in response, so he gives up and moves with Fin to Atlanta. Allie’s mom is seen getting the mail, so we know EXACTLY what happened to those letters. Meanwhile, it’s now 1941, and it’s time for World War II for the USA! Fin and Noah fight with Patton’s troops, and Fin doesn’t make it.

Allie, meanwhile, is in college, and works as a Nurse’s Aide for war veterans. She sees all of them as Noah,,,which is weird because she hasn’t gotten any of his letters, so she wouldn’t know that he went to war, but whatever. One of these injured men is Lon Hammond, Jr. (James Marsden). And...aw...AWWWWWWW. Did I just type James Marsden? GODDAMN IT HE’S GONNA GET CUCKED

James Marsden seems to have only one role in movies, and that’s to be overshadowed by another dude, even though in many instances, he’s a totally fine guy. The X-Men films, Superman Returns, Enchanted, the Westworld series in a way, TELL ME I AM GODDAMN WRONG. Dude’s always in movies where he plays the love interest to a girl, and that girl is pursued by another guy, and he ALWAYS LOSES TO THAT GUY. You could argue that Cyclops in the X-Men escaped that fate, but need I remind that first, Jean died, and then she came back AND KILLED HIM. STOP SCREWING OVER JASON MARSDEN’S LOVE LIFE, MOVIES!!!!

Seems like we’re once again headed down that path, though, as the very injured Lon asks Allie out on a date while in recovery, then takes her out once he’s healed. And, since he’s about as forward as Noah was, but less crazy when asking her out, she falls in love with him quickly. And it’s Duke that makes that assessment, not me. And, OF COURSE, he’s a rich Southern boy, meaning that her parents are going to approve.

At a dance club in the city with...black performDEAR GOD IT’S GETTING HARD TO HOLD ON BUT I GOTTA DO IT MOVING ON

He proposes to her, with her parents’ full permission (of course, because he’s rich and southern, gross), and she gladly accepts. He jumps on stage and announces to the entire club that they’re getting married. However, she’s still missing Noah subconsciously.

Speaking of, Noah comes home from war, presumably in 1945, and finds that his father sold him the house in order to buy the Windsor Plantation. Around the same time, Noah finds out that Allie’s moved on, and is with Lon. So, what does he do? The only logical thing: he restores the entire plantation by himself in order to win Allie back FUCKING REALLY?

Dude, you rebuilt an entire house on your own, your father died, and you could EASILY get rich off of selling the house and continuing to restore other derelict properties in the area! Upwards mobility, my man! You don’t even need to stay in town anymore! Hell, THAT’S a better plan to win both Allie’s AND her parents’ approval! STOP SIMPIN’, AND IF YOU’RE GONNA SIMP, DO IT RIGHT!!!

He’s also sleeping with a war widow, Martha Shaw (Jamie Brown), and STILL thinks only of Allie, and her sweet, sweeeeeeet bathwater, probably. Speaking of, Allie’s trying on a wedding dress, when she sees a photo of Noah in the paper in front of the plantation, which certainly shocks her. Confused, she goes to see Lon at his job as a stockbroker, and laments to him her lost romantic whimsy, brought up by seeing Ryan Gosling (AKA a natural response). She tells him that she’s going to Seabrook to “clear her head.” Lon asks if he should be worried. She says no. SHE LIIIIIIIIIIES.

Halfway mark, and this is a good place to cut! See you in Part 2!

Pretty

Yeeeeah, so my mind’s been going off about this random idea: what if Starchild was flirting with Velma during Scooby Doo and KISS instead of flirting with Daphne? Velma needs more love dang it. So naturally my dumb romantic self thought of this little thing. There might be more depending on what my mind thinks of. For now, enjoy this!

AU: When the gang and KISS split up Starchild goes with Velma instead of Daphne and Fred.

“I’m still suspicious,” Velma stated as they left the building. Was Starchild a little shaken? Maybe. But most of what Chikara had foretold to them were things they had faced before. He was a bit amused by Velma’s stubborn need to be skeptical.

“Chikara’s never wrong,” he responded. “Well, except the time she predicted the Love Gun album would go gold.” Dramatic pause. “Because it went PLATINUM!” He pumped his fists, grinning. “Whoa yeah!”

He waited for Velma’s response. It was only a roll of her eyes and “Good for you.” Then she walked off. “C’mon, let’s head back and make sure Shaggy and Scooby aren’t getting in any trouble.”

Starchild tilted his head a bit, then hurried to catch up with her.

What an interesting human Miss Velma Dinkley was. Her friend, Daphne, had wasted no time in literally hanging all over him ever since they first made their amazing dramatic entrance. But Velma had simply rolled her eyes in fond exasperation at her friend and given him no attention, save a polite greeting. She was shorter than Daphne—well, with his boots she was nearly a head shorter than him—and didn’t seem to care too much about her appearance. She was smart, able to put things together, and yet refused to believe everything she was being told was true. She also didn’t smile a lot.

Not that Starchild thought she would look prettier with a smile. She looked pretty already. He just wondered why she didn’t smile.

“It is a pretty big accomplishment,” Starchild informed her. “One million albums.” He still felt proud of that.

“I know,” Velma replied. “I know how albums are ranked. Gold for five hundred thousand copies, platinum for one million copies, multi-platinum for over two million, and diamond for ten million.”

Starchild blinked. “Huh.” He smiled at her. “You’re pretty smart.”

Velma shrugged. “I just retain useless facts. That’s not smart.”

“No, I said you’re pretty smart.” He grinned at her. “Pretty and smart.”

Velma’s shocked look was almost comical. Starchild kept grinning at her, waiting for her response. “… I mean I would say I’m smart… I wouldn’t know about pretty.”

Starchild’s grin almost dropped completely from his face in confusion. That usually worked. “Why not? You’re pretty.” He stated it like it was a scientific fact.

“Compared to Daphne? No, I’m not pretty.” Velma started walking again.

Starchild followed her. “Why don’t you think you’re pretty? You are.” He meant the words; her turtleneck with her short cropped hair and her glasses all came together in a look that was perfectly fitting for her.

Velma rolled her eyes again. “Right. Nice try.”

“Do you really not think you’re pretty?”

“If I really was pretty, I would get attention from guys who don’t turn out to be the culprits behind the mystery we’re trying to solve!” Velma suddenly snapped. Starchild stopped and blinked again at her, and her shoulders slumped and she sighed. “I’m sorry. It’s just… every time a guy gives me any sort of attention during a mystery we’re investigating, 9 times out of 10 they’re the one responsible.”

“That… can’t be true…” Starchild was trying to wrap his head around this. Was this actually true?

Velma shrugged. “Yep, it’s true. There was Gibby Norton, who tried to impress me with a ton of hair-brained schemes. Ben Ravencroft in Oakhaven, who tuned out to be a cuckoo. Ranger Knudson, who was unmasked as the Woodsman at Camp Little Moose. Windsor, who helped make a giant Phantasaur… the list goes on. Gibby and Knudson were guys I didn’t even like, but Windsor and Ben… I really liked them. Now all the guys who ever liked me are in prison, or anywhere else. So yeah, whenever a guy shows me any sort of attention, I tend to be a little cautious. Wouldn’t you?”

Starchild stared at her, speechless. Oh, sweetie… “I… I guess,” was all he could think of to say.

Velma nodded. “Exactly.” There was a pause. “Can we just head back now?”

She started walking off again. After a moment of thought, Starchild chased after her.

“Listen,” he said when he caught up with her, “you don’t have to base your worth on that, you know.”

“I don’t! I just… it would be nice if some guy with no strings attached thought I looked pretty.”

Starchild reached out and took her hand, and smiled at her when she looked up. “I think you look pretty,”

Now Velma was blinking at him. “… You do?”

“I do,” he said sincerely, remembering to pick his words carefully. Gods forbid he say the wrong thing and scare her off. “And it’s not just to throw you a bone or anything, I swear. I think you’re really pretty.” In spite of how confident he was, after being with quite a few women and men, his face couldn’t help but grow a little warm as he said the words.

“Oh…” Even in the night, from the lights illuminating the path he could see a pink blush coming to her face… and it looked really cute. She smiled, a little shyly at him. “Thanks… You’re not too bad-looking yourself.”

Starchild grinned. “Why, thank you, Velma.”

“You remember my name?” It seemed to have come out before she could stop herself, because she quickly backpedaled. “Sorry! I just… well you keep calling Fred “Frank” so I just thought…”

Starchild laughed and waved his hand as they resumed walking. “It’s all right. I know all your names. There’s you, Velma—which is a really nice name,” his smile widened when he saw Velma shyly glance away; he just couldn’t help himself. “There’s Scooby and Shaggy, Daphne, and then there’s Fred.”

Velma raised an eyebrow at him. “Did you know his actual name the whole time?”

“Maybe,” Starchild shrugged, smiling impishly at her.

“If you knew his name the whole time, why have you been calling him ‘Frank’?”

He couldn’t stop grinning at her. “Because it’s fun to mess with him.”

After a moment of her staring at him, Velma snorted and smiled—and my oh my was it a pretty smile. “Okay, you got me. It is a little fun to mess with Fred. His favorite band is the Ascot 5.”

He shrugged. “I’m indifferent to the Ascot 5. They’re good.”

“Not as good as you though, I’m guessing?”

“You know it,”

He hoped this was the beginning of something. A friendship, a relationship, whatever it would be; he would take what he would get with Miss Velma Dinkley.
