This was something I sketched out quite a long time ago, I've been going though some old stuff I had started on but never finished, I decided to just go with whatever was already on the canvas. I had already done sketches and had the names, I don't remember how I came up with the names, I think most of them were kind of random, but I must of been planning something because I apparently named that one guy after the Greek God of Doom? (super edgy, also doesn't make much sense, because I decided all these characters live on a different planet) but anyways, I just went with what I already had and decided to make him somewhat of a villain,  I think that may have been what I was planning anyways.
So they live on a planet that's a lot bigger than Earth, there's parts of it that are way more advanced than other parts, mostly because the distance between locations is so big that most major civilizations have never interacted. In general the planet is mostly a fantasy setting, with lots of different species and races. There are many locations that are still unexplored and have not been settled.
MOROS used to be the villain, until he lost his memory(sort of cliche) I haven't completely sorted out his backstory. He came to be when some evil wizards or something were attempting some kind of spell, they were using dark magic to do some kind of generic evil wizard stuff. (ok so I decided the spell was to summon some kind of dark god or deity, to ask for power)  The spell involved a bird and some other ingredients, but it didn't go as planed and the result ended up taking the form of this little bird kid. (the god gave them power in the form of Moros who would be very powerful with magic, but the wizards didn't realize that)So basically Moros used to be a bird. The wizards used him as a servant and treated him terribly, they also used to test other spells on him throughout the years. He stopped aging around 18 and is somewhat immortal, the wizards also live for many years longer than humans, they use dark magic to prolong their lives. They kept him locked in a bird cage a lot, but he learned how to sneak out and would read all the spell books while the wizards weren't around. (they live on a small island, in a building surrounded by enchantments he can't escape from even if he escaped the cage)  He taught himself how to do magic, and became a master at it. He eventually destroyed to wizards and decided to take his revenge out on the world. He pretty much just became super edgy. He summoned all sorts of dark creatures to be his minions and went about destroying lands and such. In his downtime he would use magic disguise himself as a human teen, and hang around in human villages to internally laugh at their miserable lives. Something ends up happening while he's in this disguise (I never decided what) and he is knocked out and loses his memory. He wakes up in a village having no idea who he is. He meets up with the rest of the characters at some point and they become friends and he grows as a person. Then some drama goes down when he eventually realizes who he is. (the group of characters were actually on a journey to defeat him, some of them weren't at first but joined up with the ones who were) Then he has an identity crisis. He likes who he's grown to be, and cares about his new friends, but then has to struggle with how he used to be. As his old self he was kind of a cliche evil villain, he hated the world for causing him so much pain and only really thought about causing others as much pain as he had felt, he was just a huge edgelord. After he loses his memory he is able to change and grow as a person. He starts out shy and unsure of himself. He becomes more confident once he makes friends. He learns he knows how to do magic, and decides he wants to use it to help defeat the evil that is plaguing the world. (ironic haha)
ADMA is 19 years old and TIKKI is 18. They are orphans that live in a village that worship the sun and moon. Hundreds of years ago some sort of cosmic force or spirits of the sun and moon or some kind of magical whatever granted two people of their village powers, one of the sun and one of the moon. When they died two new people in the village were granted that power. These people would use their power to protect the village. As the years went on the cycle continued. The power is always granted to someone between the ages of 5 to 20. So a lot of the kids in the village would start training in case they ended up being the ones to receive it. If they weren't they would still be able to protect they village with their skills. Adma and Tikki grew up together in an orphanage, it was always Tikki's dream to be granted the powers of the moon(I have no idea what these powers are) She self proclaimed herself The Moon Goddess Tikki and always wears a moon necklace Adma made for her when they were kids. Even though she wanted the moon powers, she never took her training seriously and always slacked off, she didn't think a Moon Goddess should need to learn how to use her own powers. While Adma spent her time training in case she received powers, she also just wanted to protect the village. The current moon and sun power holders, were off fighting Moros's(character from the original pic) armies. The moon one was killed and Tikki ended up receiving the moon powers (and a bit of an ego) Adma is quite jealous because she was the one who put in all the hard work while Tikki just slacked off all the time. Tikki is sent off to find the current sun power holder and Adma goes with her. They eventually meet up with the other characters. The sun power holder is killed during this time and Adma inherits the sun powers. Her and Tikki have a falling out and fight a bit. But eventually make up and try to be friends again.
EDIN is 16 years old, his parents where the king and queen of a kingdom of elves. When Moros(character from the original pic) first started attacking villages, Edin was a baby, many of the elves in the kingdom fled, but his parents and their army decided to fight back. They sent Edin to a human village far away from anything that was happening, they wanted to make sure the heir to their kingdom was kept safe. The village they send him too is one they were in good relations with. He lives on a farm with his adoptive parents and siblings, he doesn't know he's a prince, he just knows his parents went to fight a war with the other elves. Years pass with no news from his parents or news about the war they were fighting. Moros's armies eventually reach his village. His family live near a mountain and there are few passage ways there that can be used to escape. His adoptive parents tell him about his parents being royalty and give him a map to where their kingdom used to be. They also give him some money his elf parents had left for him. They fight off Moros's forces long enough for the kids to escape but end up dying. Edin and his siblings escape through the mountain, and travel for a while to the next village, there they use the money to find someone with a horse and carriage to take them to the farthest village they know of. Once there his sister decides to stay there with their younger brother while Edin sets off to find out what happened to his parents.   Edin is very nervous, and easily stressed out. He had never left the village he grew up in so being out in the world terrifies him, he misses his parents and siblings, every thing that happened to him recently made him a nervous wreck. I never actually named either of his sets of parents or his siblings. His sister is very tomboyish and rebellious and is brother is a very happy and energetic kid. His elf parents left money and clothes for him to wear as he grows up with his human parents.
GINA is 14 years old, her mother is a giant and her father a human blacksmith. Giants are mostly a nomadic race, they travel from place to place, they settle in some places for maybe a few years at a time. Her parents met when her mother's tribe was settled near her father's town for a while. They fell in love and had her, a lot of the humans are a bit racist against the giants, they think of them as dumb and uncivilized (even thought it's untrue) while they tolerate them living nearby they don't like it. They don't like them hunting the animals in the area because they eat quite a bit more than humans and there are less for the humans to hunt. When it came time for the giants to continue their travels, the villagers would not allow her mother to stay, so Gina was left to be raised by her father. Her father is a skilled blacksmith and taught Gina everything he knows. He ends up dying in some kind of accident( I never decided what) and Gina leaves the village to search for her mother. She eventually runs into the other characters. Gina has a pair of enchanted gloves she made herself, she embedded them with some kind of magical firestone. They shoot out fire when she punches(but only if she wants them to, they don't activate untended) it's dangerous to be traveling alone, so she uses them to fight with. I added some more elemental stones, she has a few different bands with different elemental stones which she can switch out. She carries them in her bag. Elemental stones are magical stones that are formed during strong natural weather events and such. A lighting stone is sometimes formed when lighting strikes a tree, the magical energy during this somehow causes the stone to form or grow (i don't know just MAGIC) Fire stones sometimes form during forest fires. Water stones(really need a new name for that) are formed after a terrible flood. They are essentially just magical rocks that are the concentrated energy of those events. When refined down and combined with runes a person is able to wield them as a weapon. She has a pet named Birdy ( she named to when she was very little) She has a cheerful, good natured personality, she is kind of awkward and also very determined.
NALO is 17 years old. She comes from a tribe that is pretty much a bunch of hippies, they are all pretty chill and never seem to worry about anything. Her tribe worships some kind of goddess of peace and protection or something, they believe she protects them from harm. While there are deities and such in their world (i haven't really worked out how all of that works) this particular goddess isn't real, so she can't actually protect them form anything. I'm not actually sure how they started worshiping her. Anyways, Nalo is an inventor, she wants to make a difference in to world. She can't do magic but she does study science and magic and how they relate. (I really haven't worked out many details of her character yet, I don't even know what her goggles do, I just thought they looked cool, I haven't worked out all the details of how magic works in this world) She realizes many nearby villages are being destroyed by the forces of evil. Her village doesn't seem to be worried since they think their goddess will protect them, but she decides to set out and find help or find a way to defeat the attacking forces or protect her village. She eventually meets up with the other characters Nalo is kind of quiet, she doesn't say much unless it's about something she's really interested in, and then it's hard to get her to stop talking. She can be a bit of a know it all when it comes to something she thinks she knows a lot about. She uses her throwing knives to fight with.
RED is a robot from a huge island in the middle of nowhere. It is way more advanced than the rest of the world. The people there mostly don't interact with the rest of the world, but they do keep tabs on them. When they see the havoc Moros (character from original pic) is wrecking they decide to send out a highly advanced assassin robot to kill him. Red meets the other characters and joins them, and ends up developing self awareness and becomes friends with them. Red's cloak can change colors and camouflage itself. He can also fire lasers. His joints work kind of like magnets, I'm not really sure how they work, but a combination of magic and science or something. He can detach parts and connect them to other joints, and can move his fingers to different hands, he can connect all his arms together for super long arms, and can do the same with his legs.
The last picture                                                                                                       I mentioned in Nalo’s description that her village worshiped some sort of goddess of peace and protection or something. And while there are deities and such in their world that this particular goddess didn't exist.
This character was a powerful wizard that lived in Nalo's village over a thousand years ago, she protected their village and helped keep peace in the area. A statue was built in her honor in the center of the village, and her story and legend were passed down long after her death. But, somehow over the years the story got changed to where she was a goddess instead of a wizard and the people began to worship her. Believing worshiping this goddess will protect their village from any serious harm. But it won't because she wasn't a goddess and has been dead for hundreds of years. I haven't named her yet. There are different kinds of wizards in their world, wizards like this one, with a natural talent for magic who study and work hard to become stronger. Most people have to be born with magic to do it. Some of those who aren't use dark magic or something. (I haven't really worked out all the details of how it works.)

Keshet Rewatches All of Scooby-Doo, Pt. 5: “Decoy For a Dognapper”
(”Scooby-Doo, Where Are You”, Season 1 Episode 5)
AKA “That Old-Fashioned Racism”
I’m trying out a format change, starting with this post, because the errors that I was seeing with Read Mores only seem to affect Text Posts and not Image Posts, even if the only difference is whether there’s a text header or a main image. If y’all prefer this style or the text posts, let me know!
The episode opens on a crisp Autumn day, and unlike the norm the four prior episodes established, nothing immediately spooky happens. Instead, we’re reminded that yes, Scooby is a dog, as his sniffing about in the leaves of an affluent-looking neighborhood leads to him catching sight of a well-groomed poodle being walked by an old lady. Scooby pulls up some flowers and tries his best to look charming.
Tumblr media
He’s ignored, the poor hump-backed bow-legged mole-chinned fella. Takamoto's intent for Scooby to be a less than ideal specimen really shines through in moments like this, though I suppose his iconic status has dulled that idea over the decades. That said, i am reminded that one of the few times a dog reciprocates Scooby’s romantic intent, she turned out to be a space alien in disguise.
Just after Scooby is rejected, karma strikes: “Princess” is snatched up by a masked dognapper just as she and her owner walk behind some bushes that conveniently save on the animation budget by not showing the complex motion of grabbing the dog i mean, hide the details of the dognapping.
By the time Scooby rejoins the gang at yet another beach party (consisting of Fred and Daphne dancing while Velma and Shaggy roast weenies), the sky has darkened. Instead of explaining why he’s upset using his words, Scooby utilizes his eldritch powers once more and turns on the radio just in time to tune into a flash bulletin announcing the third theft of a prize-winning dog in as many days.
Scooby is very serious about this, pushing the gang to investigate. But his determination has its limits when it turns out that the next dog in line to win an upcoming competition is a Great Dane, well, you can see where this is going.
Tumblr media
Fred has a “tiny” transmitter to plant on Scooby, which must have seemed impressive by the standards of 1969. It’s as big as a bath bomb.
Daphne tosses him a Scooby Snack for courage, though Shaggy catches and eats the first one she pitches, rationalizing that he’s going to have to be the one walking the decoy dog, and then it’s time to wash and groom Scooby. Cleaned up and given a shiny new collar, Scooby strikes his best possible posture while out on the town, and even manages to attract some attention.
Tumblr media
When this random pink pooch tries and fails to get Scooby’s attention, she kicks a whole bin’s worth of garbage at the duo in a fit of rage. It’s an extended sequence that doesn’t seem to add anything to the plot except suggesting that Scooby is, however briefly, convincing as a show dog. But it’s really weird, because, well... look at this dog. She has a collar, so she’s not just a stray. She's pink, at odds with the vaguely naturalistic color schemes of, well... any other animal in the entire show.
The entire scene could be cut for time without losing anything in the episode, so the best i can figure is that it’s literal filler.
Soon after, the dognappers snatch Scooby amidst a smokescreen, and Shaggy gives chase on a borrowed motor-scooter. While the Mystery Machine reroutes to follow Scooby’s signal, Shaggy sees something unexpected just as he’s catching up to the dognappers:
Tumblr media
Yes, this is bound to be a thematically consistent episode. The whooping, shrieking image of a stereotypical Native of the Great Plains appears, causing Shaggy to crash. Shaggy identifies this figure as “Geronimo” for no reason except that he’s a stupid white kid in the sixties.
Meanwhile, Scooby winds up in the villains’ hideout, where he’s quickly identified as a fake by the costumed mastermind, who is similarly clad in a bad caricature of indigenous American garb, looking like some white animator’s idea of what a traditional dance costume might resemble.
Tumblr media
In an especially bizarre moment, Scooby resists being tossed out by extending his previously unseen claws to hold tight onto the wooden floor. Scooby has retractable claws. WHAT IS THIS DOG?
The gang finds no sign of the native who spooked Shaggy, but Velma does find a stone tomahawk just laying in the dirt by some train tracks. She identifies this as “an authentic Indian relic, at least 1000 years old”.
Without any testing or reference materials.
Without questioning why it was just sitting around in the open.
A thousand years old, she says.
Guay de mi. Shaggy concludes that this means ghosts, but the gang pick up on Scooby’s signal again and follow it, while Scooby once again demonstrates his retractable claws by extending an especially long one to cut a hole in the wooden crate he’s trapped in.
Tumblr media
SCOOBY-DOO, WHAT ARE YOU?
After Scooby’s rescue, the gang backtracks, and are shot at with arrows—that Fred identifies as factory-made and inauthentic, because I guess he thinks no self-respecting native would use anything other than home-made traditionally-crafted arrows. Shaggy and Scooby cry out in terror over the prospect of being scalped.
Interesting fact about the practice of scalp-taking: there’s evidence to suggest that it was introduced to the Americas by white people, and that it was much more widely practiced by settlers—colonial authorities offered bounties on native scalps, and both Confederate and Union soldiers are documented to have engaged in the gruesome practice on people of all ethnicities.
But Shaggy’s a white dude in the Sixties, so we just get to see him being a racist making jokes about his hair being scared.
The gang look to where the arrows came from, and catch sight of the remains of a cliffside city in the general Southwestern style, looking like it may have been referenced directly from “Montezuma’s Castle”. As they make their way up to it, they catch sigh of the lead villain, who is shaking some maracas and affecting a stereotypical accent completely unlike the way he was speaking in front of Scooby earlier.
Tumblr media
As he disappears, Velma comments that he speaks excellent English “considering he’s supposed to be 1000 years old.” Again, how is she drawing this conclusion? There’s nothing in the episode to suggest it, and Velma just comes off as spouting the typical attitudes of white American culture that indigenous peoples are long dead and gone.
As the gang continue onward in spite of their ignorance, they rouse a colony of adorable bats, that start chattering and flying around.
Tumblr media
Shaggy and Velma start to flail madly in spite of the bats not being animated as actually flying at them, just around... until one snatches Velma’s glasses right off her face, and then drops them on Scooby. There’s a great shot from Scooby’s perspective through the lenses of a bat zooming right at him, and he flees.
But even better is the one moment when Shaggy follows Scooby into shelter. “Ri, Raggy,” says Scooby in his usual distorted doggy speech. Without missing a beat or any sense of it being unusual Shaggy responds in kind:
“Ri, Rooby.”
It’s a weird little moment of Shaggy’s guard being down so much that he picks up on Scooby’s vocal tics, and to be honest, it’s adorable.
The “thousand years” bit continues as the gang explores and "Geronimo” (again, they have no reason to call him that) continues to warn them away with fakey accents and flashy displays.
The weirdest moment of the episode comes during their explorations, while Shaggy is distracted with raiding the dognapper’s food supplies to make an overwhelmingly meaty sandwich with every kind of cold cut i’ve ever heard of. Scooby investigates a cabinet, and then, behind him, a stone in the wall opens up to reveal a secret hole...
Tumblr media
...and a hand reaches out to shove Scooby into the cabinet, sending him through another passage and down a chute that leads right to the room where the stolen dogs are kept, along with Daphne after she got caught in another secret passage trap herself. But nothing’s holding Scooby, and he’s able to easily untie Daphne and set the dogs free.
So... what was the point of pushing him? Whose hand was that?
After a few more secret passage antics, the dogs are freed, and—hey, wait a minute, how’d all these secret passages get into these ancient ruins? There’s more of a story here than just the dognappers, but the episode never goes into it.
The dogs chase down the main villain (his henchman is never seen again, and there’s no evidence he’s ever caught), who is revealed as Buck Masters, a dog owner himself who had pretended his own dog was stolen and put on a pretense of offering a reward for the crooks. Buck had extensively interacted with the gang earlier in the episode, so it’s not too surprising he immediately recognized Scooby, but one has to wonder why he didn’t warn his own henchman of the gang’s involvement. 
In any case, his incompetent racist deception is revealed, and the gang have foiled his plan! Oh zoinks, are we going to finally hear it, that immortal line?
Tumblr media
Hey, that’s not how you pronounce “meddling”!
In a heartwarming moment, Fred explains that they had to get involved, because they had a dog of their own, and “we love him very much.”
The episode ends on one last little stereotypical gag, as Scooby makes a feathered headdress shadow on the wall by posing with a duster and toy tomahawk.
Oy.
(like what i’m doing here? It’s not what pays the bills, so i’d really appreciate it if you could send me a bit at my paypal.me or via my ko-fi. Click here to see more entries in this series of posts, or here to go in chronological order)
