Okay, you can’t use Fred as the one to represent “awful, misogynistic, privileged white men” when that man was always a golden retriever of a human being.
In Mystery Incorporated, he cried because of how emotional he himself always is, he got instant PTSD in an episode where Daphne got kidnapped and for majority of the series, Daphne was just BEGGING for him to fuck her but he was oblivious and respected their friendship.
Sitcom/romcom-esque plot where Cucurucho tells Fred to keep an eye on Tubbo but smitten-but not yet-realized Fred keeps feeding Cucurucho the most random ass information such as "Did you know Tubbo loves trains ?" "Did you know Tubbo is very knowledgeable about plane crashes ?" "Did you know Tubbo is really good at Geography ?" Then just with time it just evolves into "Tubbo told me his favourite flower is ___" or that "Tubbo can't even start his day without drinking coffee yk hehe". All the while Cucurucho is just there like jfc 😐😐😐. God forbid you try to achieve something on this yaoi island
I actually really like the idea of a Scooby Doo prequel centered around the Mystery Gang before they became friends.
Velma is your typical nerd who's interested in true crime. She started off solving small mysteries around her neighborhood, like where someone's missing cat went or who stole someone's bike. Then, some sort of really big mystery happens that the police completely overlook. Maybe students are ending up dead or missing or something like that.
She goes to the same school as Fred, Daphne, and Shaggy, but never talked to them due to personal assumptions. Fred is a popular jock, and a lot of his teammates bully Velma and force her to do their homework for them, so she doesn't trust him either. Daphne is a pretty rich girl who hangs out with a group of mean girls who also make fun of girls like Velma. Even though Fred's group and Daphne's group overlap, the two of them have never really spoken to one another before. Then, there's Shaggy who always shows up to school late, never knows the answer to teachers' questions, and sleeps through half of his classes.
Eventually, one of Daphne's friends get kidnapped. So, one night, she sneaks into the school to find some clues at the same time as Velma. Fred's there because he forgot his uniform, and Shaggy just likes hanging out at the school to do his homework in peace and quiet. They all team up for a while until security gets involved, and Fred helps them into a speedy getaway as the only one with his driver's license.
With Fred driving them home, the group decides to at least have a temporary team-up. Daphne and Velma have a shared goal, Fred likes having friends for the first time in forever, and Shaggy doesn't want to be the odd man out.
They get closer as they solve the mystery together. Fred isn't a jerk, and is super sweet and amazing at building all sorts of things, especially traps. Shaggy always brings the gang food he made, and eventually introduces them to his talking dog who may or may not be immortal. Daphne invites everyone to her house for sleepovers, helps Velma explore her style in a way that's still comfortable to her, and reveals her endless knowledge about every single person in the entire town.
The mystery gets solved, and the four stays friends. The End :)
“tubbo’s been distracted with his massive hole and his new boyfriend” fitmc is having the time of his life right now with all the innuendos he’s able to make
Phil: Ooh, follow-up question: does Cucurucho count as an employee?
[Fred and the Security Guard look at each other]
Phil: You looked at- you looked at each other there like you had to think about it.
[Fred hands him a book that says "Yes"]
Phil: In that case, yes, but I'll change my answer. [The clip transitions to a scene a few moments later] He lies all the time-
[Fred hands him another book that says "Although I don't know who is Cucurucho."]
Phil: ...Excuse me? You don't know who Cucurucho is?

Phil: ...Excuse me? You don't know who Cucurucho is? [Fred shakes his head] He looks like a bear, he's got a smiley face? He talks like this: Ha ha ha. Disfruta la isla. You've never heard of him? He always shows up at really weird times. Do you call him something different?
[Fred hands him a book that says "The Census Bureau? I've never met it."]
Phil: So are the Census Bureau employees of the Federation? [Fred fidgets, but doesn't nod or shake his head] Is that a yes? Like, nod?
[Fred hands him a book that says "Anyways who's doing the interview here, you or me? Let's continue."]
Phil: I'm trying to answer your questions more accurately and you're just giving me curveballs dude!
