Because HBO's Velma is atrocious, may I recommend Edgar Cantero's Meddling Kids? It's a love letter to Scooby-Doo with a believable lesbian romance, Hanna-Barbera shenanigans, and all the fun stuff you would expect in a book with the premise of "Scooby-Doo but for adults". And no bullshit shoehorned in to make you angry.

Also the covers are dope.

"you were a wonderful experience"
Not Meddling Kids related (or is it ;]) but I watched Alien Invaders last night and I couldn't stop thinking of them <3 This is also inspired by that one bus stop scene from Fiona and Cake that broke my soul.

So something just occurred to me.
Shaggy and Daphne have arguably the least amount development about their relationship. And yet Daphne appears in just about every series along side Shaggy and Scooby, even if Fred and Velma are absent.
It’s also not like they don’t have moments together. When any amount of focus is put on the two of them they actually work really well with each other. For instance a moment that comes to mind is when Daph made Shaggy his own type of Scooby snacks made specifically for him, which is actually really cute.
Yet we really don’t have an established relationship between them, and in any origin stories more emphasis is put on his relationship with Velma and Scooby and her relationship with Velma and Freddy. Honestly I kinda hope a future installment puts more focus on these two, think they could have a really cool dynamic and it’d help make the hang seem more cohesive.

I re-read ‘Meddling Kids’ by Edgar Cantero recently, which inspired me to do some darker themed Scooby Doo art, and of course I had to do my absolute fashion icon Daphne. I had this idea in my head about how the gang might deal with possession, so possessed daphne falling through the void of her own mind spawned and became this! I’m pleased with it!

It was both a great and terrible idea to put up all my sapphic books in a row to stare judgingly at me while I write. Great inspiration, great inadequacy.

Excuse me while I stare at the ceiling for hours because I've finished my reread of the series and my first read of this glorious installment.
Chances are if you're here, you like found family of misfits (queer af), angst, banter, and magic worlds. Yeah?
Ok. Don't walk. RUN to these books. If you're an audio person, highly highly recommend those. Check TW.

What if she thinks you're sweet on her?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Title:  What if she thinks you're sweet on her? 
Plot: Criminal Minds Gang plots to get Gideon a gf
Pairing: Jason Gideon x femreader (romantic)
Warning: mentions of a bar
Due to a family emergency, Hotcher was delayed in heading with the team to a new case. Aaron at this point had missed a string of cases due to family matter and had always sent Agent Dosela in his place, who, like him was a lawyer before becoming an agent. After reading her personnel file he thought she would be an ample replacement and she was, what he didn’t expect was for Gideon to have taken a liking to her. 
Aaron arrived in Michigan two days after the rest of the team, Agent Dosela included, what he found was that the previously mentioned Agent and Gideon got on exceptionally well. Hotchner wasn’t the only one who had noticed how the two got along the team did too. When Hotchner arrived in California there was no need for Agent Dosela to stay. She left by train at the end of the day Hotchner arrived.
 Jason seemed somewhat disappointed about her leaving but with her help, they found the unsub and closed the case. On the plane back to Virginia the team was especially intrigued by Agent Dosela and how fond Gideon seemed to be towards her. They all obviously wanted to talk about it but Gideon was right there on the plane with them, playing chess with Reid. All they could do was share knowing glances. Jason becoming annoyed with their glances decides to say something. “Hey, Hotch.” “Yeah,” Hotch responds already facing him. “Don’t bother sending Agent Dosela any gifts on my behalf. Aaron was ready to oppose this reminding him that people need to feel important until Jason continued. “I already got her gifts.” Everyone in the cabin is instantly intrigued. “Gifts? Plural?” 
Jason makes a move his move on the chessboard taking in the expressions of everyone in the room before answering. “Yes, I got her more than one gift.” Astonished, stunned and confused are the words that would be used to describe Gideon’s teammates’, “What if she thinks you're sweet on her” Hotch interrogates, his curiosity intensified, shown by him leaving forward in his chair.  Gideon shrugs maintaining an unbothered and suave persona, drastically increasing his teammates’ fascination with the situation.  “What did you get her?” Morgan probed sitting up from the plane couch. Chuckling Gideon carries on with the chess game showing no intention of answering that question and so Jason leaves his teammates entirely in the dark except for their own deductions. 
Later on, when they had landed in D.C. and everyone is packing up to leave, Jason makes a pit stop at Agent Dosela's office to hand off the aforementioned gifts. Knocking on her already-opened door captures her focus, “Agent Gideon.” It’s worded more as a question than a hello, Jason hopes the professionalism would eventually dissolve from their conversations, maybe the gifts could be a gateway. Jason presents her with a white paper shopping bag, pulling out of it two things. “I got you a few things, to thank you for all  your help recently, I’m told that I often forget to remind people that they're important.”  Lips awkwardly pursed together she nods and utters. “Thank you for the reminder.”
 Hesitancy is present on both sides, she holds her hand out shyly for the bag, and Gideon quickly reacts by handing it over. The attorney agent reached into the bag pulling out a laptop sleeve, Jason quickly jumped in, “It’s chilli red you mentioned you liked that colour once. Dosela stares at the sleeve evidently pleased. “You remembered that, and how did you find one in specifically this colour?” Answering her question. “A lot of effort, Oh!” Realizing what he let slip. “There is also a laptop stand for when you’re on the plane inside.” “This is very nice, probably the nicest gift I’ve ever received from a coworker. Thank you.” 
Being honest with himself, he hoped that she would maybe realize the gifts were meant to be romantic, but she still saw him as a coworker that changed when she saw the third gift and exclaimed. “Oh wow, the craftsmanship on this is wonderful!” It was a white marble bookend, with gold lines on the end. Anahita stared at the gift in a state of admiration, while Jason looked at her the same way. Now aware of Jason's captivation, Anahita thanks him earnestly. “Thank you, Jason. Still caressing a bookend. “This is really sweet Jason.” Bashful and blushing Jason nods and utters. “Well, I saw your bookcase.” He gestures to her black and white bookcase that took up much of her office. “I thought it would look nice.” Gideon begins to backtrack out of her office. “I’ll get out of your hair.” “Don’t be a stranger Agent Gideon,” She states just before he leaves. 
While Jason was on his way out, J.J, Penelope and Emily convinced Anahita to go out to a local bar with the whole team as they, Hotch, Morgan and Reid had a plan to matchmake the two. While Dosela and Gideon exchanged gits the team was exchanging ideas on the best plan to get the two together. The first part of this plan was already in motion unbeknownst to the soon-to-be couple.

People are SLEEPING on Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero. Remember when everybody was losing their minds over how bad that Velma show is? Give this book a try if you want a good grown-up Scooby gang story (even though these characters aren’t TECHNICALLY the same people.) it’s got eldritch beings. It’s got Lesbian Velma-adjacent character. It’s ACTUALLY GOT A DOG IN IT. And the narration style is so intriguing and cinematic it feels like reading a movie. Anyway. Go check it out.

If Velma canonically being a lesbian interests you, may I suggest a supremely strange and unique novel called Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero that is basically “what if being a teenage detective really fucked you up and traumatized you”, the Velma-adjacent character is in love with the Daphne-adjacent character who has, it is implied, sentient magical hair. It is Lovecraftian horror and is, frankly, bonkers.
