i want to break my only-art-posts rule on here for just a moment, to talk about about fred jones as a canon autistic character and what he's meant to me personally.

my childhood love of scooby doo suddenly reawaked back in november of 2021, which just so happened to be around the time i was seriously questioning that i may be autistic. the realisation put so much into perspective, but i was equally afraid and uneasy about it all. therefore, i began to rewatch mystery incorporated as a source of comfort.

and just... there was a character who was a good leader, a loyal friend, a desirable romantic partner. there was a character who represented this unshakeable force of good in a town otherwise founded upon cynicism and spite. there was a character who, yes, was treated as the butt of the joke from time to time. but even despite that, was a surprisingly thoughtful representation of how an autistic teenager might navigate emotions, relationships, and the world at large.

the more i watched of this version of fred, the more i doubted that his sheer amount of autistic traits were purely a coincidence. and sure enough, i discovered that mitch watson (sdmi showrunner) confirmed on the unmasked history of scooby doo podcast that fred was indeed written with autism in mind.

(more beneath the cut!)

for a while, this was knowledge that i celebrated quietly. i told a couple of people who were interested, but that was about it. what mattered most to me was that it was canon, and that this character i had loved since i was a child was just like me. talking too much about his interests, missing social cues, being confused by big emotions... the list went on. it sounds silly to say about a cartoon character, but identifying with fred's portrayal in sdmi (and subsequent scooby media influenced by it) genuinely helped me to accept and even love myself as an autistic person, in a time when i was feeling hopeless for realising what had made me so different all my life.

as i continued to fall down the scooby rabbit hole, i encountered fred moments new and old that would always cheer me up. i decided to compile them into a short youtube video, mostly just for my own self-indulgence. i had absolutely no idea what i was getting myself into (/pos).

over a year on, most notably following the release of the hbo velma series, my video absolutely blew up. to the point where it currently stands at 825k views, which is utterly unfathomable to me. thousands of people who cared about this character like i did flooded the comments, expressing anger at his most recent portrayal and genuine love for his portrayals in past media.

however, the comments that especially made my day were those like: "how did i not realise that fred has a special interest in nets?", "he's autistic, let him infodump!", and those of a similar wording. in that comments section, as well as on tumblr, canonically autistic fred seemed to have become widespread, accepted and celebrated, showcased in comments with hundreds of likes and posts with hundreds of notes. it absolutely floored me, and i was delighted to have contributed to it.

i haven't made this post to pat myself on the back for throwing some clips together and getting a lot of views, nor to say "i knew it first!" about fred being autistic. i am simply looking back in retrospective, and getting incredibly misty-eyed over the fact that people are newly appreciating this character that has helped me through so much and been instrumental in leading me to my official autism diagnosis. you can see the sappy post i made about it on my old scooby sideblog here.

in summary, this is yet another story about how representation matters! even if it comes in the form of a historically overlooked teenage mystery solver from a 50+ year old cartoon franchise. what matters most is that it was more than just a headcanon, and has changed my life for the better.

if you're still reading, thank you so much! if you are also neurodivergent, i would love to hear your thoughts on fred, and if you've also identified with him in some way. he's... a tréasure :)

#another insane fun fact: i posted the “no one wants to hear your net facts fred” clip from the beach beastie to my scooby sideblog #before i included it as a part of my larger fred video #that original post has since been screen recorded and uploaded to instagram #as well as become an audio people use #and the person who reposted it told me that RACHEL ZEGLER liked it #literally the wildest possible outcome of all of this #obviously the clip isn't my own work but the fact that i made a moment from a fairly obscure sd special more well known just makes me happy #i will stop rambling in the tags now #scooby doo #sd #fred jones #scooby doo mystery incorporated #autistic fred jones #nem misc posts :] #scooby doo and nemmet too!

this study scene is actually a fantasy illusion by beatrice to get the reader to hate every member of the family so much that they will not be as upset when she kills them all.

#umineko liveblog #i'm half joking but not really #this exact moment is pressuring you to go 'fuck you jessica' #but compare this to the garden scene with rosa and how that was infinitely worse #and yet you were still invited to understand the how and why of rosa and the abuse as one spoke in a wheel of tragedy #rosa was not inherently evil she was just an iteration of a pattern of violence #but we were invited to have consideration for rosa. but in the study our thinking is being closed off #it's the horror as antithesis to mystery effect in play again #what we are actually seeing is everyone writhing in the barbed wire net of intergenerational abuse and trauma #in the room where kinzo's aura rules kinzo's influence is at its strongest #beatrice and kinzo have been set up as dichotomous. if you are not succumbing to one you are succumbing to the other #the only way to escape beatrice is to become the worst version of themselves #it's Detective/Romantic in its nastiest form

You know I wonder what would happen if you took one of those guys who seem to have made it their life’s mission to tell the world how every Marvel movie/show/thing is ‘the worst movie ever’, ‘an insult to the superhero genre’, ‘the downfall of cinema’, etc, etc, and showed him Pumaman?

Would this exposure to a genuinely bad, cringy, silly, laughable mess of a movie be the shock his system needs and show him there id more to life than hate-watching and leave him a happier, more fulfilled man ready to do something better with his life?

Or would it just make his head explode?

#either way I think would be a net positive for the rest of us #pumaman #mystery science theater 3000

People who’ve had any genuine spiritual experience always know that they don’t know. They are utterly humbled before mystery. They are in awe before the abyss of it all, in wonder at eternity and depth, and a Love, which is incomprehensible to the mind. Richard Rohr

For those of you whom are aware that I have been writing a pokemon sv fanfic that was released before Indigo Disk: CHAPTER 4 IS NOW OUT! Apparently chapter 4 was already finished and I just forgot to make preparations, so like 💀💀💀

Anyways, if you don't know about it, I highly suggest reading it! I have no idea how to make those masterposts where I can just put the link to the main fanfic at the top and so on amd so forth, so I apologize! I also think maybe I should maybe move this to a03, as I am not getting much traction on fanfic.net and I may get more motivation? Anyhow, I made a poll on my instagram, so we'll see, we'll see 👀

For now, enjoy chapter 4, because lord knows when chapter 5 will be! Hwjdgjehdk

I think the title of the bikini warrior manga is romanized as "Seikoku no sho." 聖刻の書 seems to be the title, and searching for that brings me to the Amazon JP page for those books you posted. As for what it means...uh. Well, I'm that good at reading Japanese; I know what each individual kanji means, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the title is supposed to translate to.

Hey! Thanks for your response!

Fine then.. Ms bikini warrior... Keep your secrets... 

#i saw a couple of other people in various corners of the net curious about it as well #seems these books are a bit of a mystery #also found some amazon jp listings #one said her name was Mel #maybe one day we will know #maybe not #anyone else feel free to chime in #i know there are some resourceful peeps out there
