How would you write these two? As in how they interact with each other, since its barely explored

have fred and shaggy switch love interests.

I think that while that makes more sense i think that that might end up splitting up the group. Fred and Velma are the ones that are interested in solving mysteries whereas Shaggy and Daphne are just in it for the ride, so they dont really have a reason to stick around

Do the buddy cop stereotypes.

Oh yeah it went something like
Fred: you like sports?
shaggy: nah, you wanna get a bite to eat?
fred: not really hungry right now
*awkward silence as they continue down a hallway*

What's New already had the perfect Shaggy and Fred interaction: youtube.com/watch?v=-yproZzbBHc

They really don't have any chemistry as characters, at all. Holy fuck.

I was thinking maybe Shaggy would play the role of easygoing stoner friend that tells Fred to loosen up, but no they're both canonically wound up as fuck and not very open-minded.

Fred would be tuning up the Mystery Machine and schedule the whole thing expecting Shaggy to chime after saying 'sure' the previous day, only for him to show up and say 'like maybe it's just not my thing, man, not on a full stomach at least'. They adamantly disagree in every realistic scenario I try to put them in.

that's just bad writing to me. They're all supposed to be friends, right? Clearly they should have some common ground.

What's New says that they share a fucking house together (with Daphne and Velma living in another house) and yet the same show has this Like what the fuck, why are they together?

>They're the only two useful members of Mystery Inc.

You kidding? All of Fred's plans backfire, and if anything Shaggy's the one who always gets the ghost.

If anything its Velma and Shaggy that should just ditch the rest of the gang

>All of Fred's plans backfire
Shaggy and Scooby's fault.

Have them rape each other, that's the easy solution

It'd give them something to talk about for sure

Best way to write these characters as friends is incidental accidental help from one another with personal issues from a change of a point of view.

>hey you know what shaggy! I should relax a bit to figure X out

>you know what Freddy. I guess I could be a little more brave and think X out.

That's how id do it.

This, there's no real easy way to give them good chemistry like they have with everyone else

Like said they don't really have anything in common with each other. One's a big man who likes his shaggy's car and making traps and being adventurous and Shaggy is a laid back lazy stoner who likes to eat.
They're on the same coin but on opposite ends.

It works best just to give them good moments together. It's obvious none of the previous writers ever really thought about how they'd interact and that's why the scene of them having an awkward conversation before going silent happens

Shaggy wouldn't be solving mysterious without a push which is why Daphne is still with him in the cartoons after the other's bailed

they both are world class scrabble players. all their interactions are exceedingly tedious as they always have a game going

But that’s fucking awful. Instead of actually trying to make something of it, they’re just pointing out how there’s nothing there, and acting like it’s not their fault because they didn’t invent the characters.

They seem like they're really only acquaintances, hanging out simply because they have common friends.

I actually don't know what Shaggy's interests are outside of food. The closest thing I can think of to friendship for them is bantering over their differences. If it stays good natured and not completely antagonistic, that might be a way to make some lemonade.

Outside of food...Scooby I guess? Weed?

That's like having a hunter teaching animals. Its gets weird when he tells the deer to shoot a deer family because they aren't wearing clothes

>22:30:46
Some user said that in a group of friends that never happens, in my experience that happens often.
So he either has a solid core of friends or he's a loner

He strikes me as somebody who loves to watch comedies and love hates horror movies when he's with friends

>22:38:01
Isn't he also naturally super athletic and something of a lover of vacations .
He will totally put on his instagram #worldcitizen

Well it's not

Like these two.

Shaggy is a gymnast and a track althlete.

in mystery incorporated they were best friends i think. the main common bond was horror movies and macabre stuff

they are essentially the last podcast on the left

I think they went halfsies on the Mystery Machine.

2 lewd 4 me.

does Zenitsu ever stop being the worst character?

their girlfriends are friends

>All of Fred's plans backfire
it doesnt

if anything you should stay quiet

This here. Shaggy and Fred aren't actually friends, they're friends of a friend.

Listen here you hippie fuck, the tall lady is In my trap, if you know what I mean, so if you try anything that dog is going to get hippie testies as it's next threat

Uhh man, like, joinks.

I bet they'd both play video games together.
Competitive and exciting enough for Fred, yet risk free and cathartic enough for Shaggy.

fpbp

>in mystery incorporated they were best friends i think
That works because of how much of a lovable dope they made Fred in that version. I remember him asking Shaggy if he was cool with having bunk beds if the gang were to all live together after high school. The dynamic of Fred and Shaggy makes a bit more sense if you see Fred as less of a traditional Chad archetype and more like Shaggy with a better head on his shoulders (but not by much).

I mean Shaggy is suppose to champion in gymnastic and athletics, they could make them bond over being different kind of sports players

Was this ever acknowledged on Mystery Incorporated? Surprising if not, based on what I've seen of it

Mental gymnastics do not count

Once again, Mystery Incorporated proves to be the best version of the franchise.

>in mystery incorporated they were best friends
all I got from that was a fake air of friendship.

Mmmh, yes I fap to their porn as well, dear sir, yes quite

Shaggy and Fred are co-workers, not distant co-workers but the kind that invite eachother to summer BBQ's but don't talk at the party.

let's

Mystery incorporated was the best.

Fred is a team sports jock, Shaggy is an athletics jock. They'd interact like just a couple of dudes. Fred would be a little more jocky since that's part of team sports culture and Shag is more chill since athletics isn't. Daphne seems like the cheerleader type, but not the kind that really cares about status or popularity since she wouldn't be driving cross-country in a van if she was (but still popular from being naturally nice), perhaps she just decided to travel for the freedom vs the structured environment she has at home. Velma is a brain.

The way I see it. Shaggy knows Fred from the sportsman community and from selling him weed. Daphne is Fred's current or X, also knows Shaggy from buying weed. Velma helped all of them out with studying and they became friends in the process, also weed. Scoob is Shaggy's dog. They solved some mystery as an accidental team and got hooked on the excitement. Coupled with wanting to travel and see more than their small town, they went on the road. Minus the weed, that's how I reasoned it as a kid.

I think the Mystery Incorporated Episode where they sorta did that with the German Twins was pretty fun. Though Velma was there as well.

They're the weirdos who like mysteries which is why the gang hanged out together.

>Velma helped all of them out with studying and they became friends in the process, also weed

Great, now I'm imagining Velma taking her first puff from a joint as the Mystery Gang cracks up about it

The only one who really loved mysteries was Fred. Velma only enjoyed the challenge. Daphne was there for the adventure. Shag and Scoob just wanted to chill with their friends and got roped into scary shit.

shaggy is not only a track star but a gymnastics talent as well

But what do you really talk about if you like track and gymnastics? Even if the other guy is into it and knows the terms, you can only discuss who's good at the moment and remember good moves from performances. Team sports is incalculably wider as a topic for discussion.

You guys suck at this.
>The girls end up going to some girly thing together leaving the boys behind for a weekend
>Fred invites Shaggy to some frat-like party. Shaggy is unsure but Fred tells him that one of his old college friends is a chef and will be catering.
>They both go. Fred tries to introduce Shaggy to his old buds but Shaggy is embarrassingly fucking up and eating all the food.
>Fred tries to defend him but they call Shaggy a loser. Shaggy is oblivious to their teasing and unknowingly plays into it. Fred is conflicted.
>Something happens with the food, I dunno someone gets poisoned or some secret recipe or ingredient goes missing. Everyone blames Shaggy since he was all over the food.
>Fred defends Shaggy and the two work together to solve the mystery while Fred and Shaggy compare their pasts.
>They solve the mystery and Shaggy does something physically amazing that catches the criminal and impresses the college friends
>Shaggy and Fred become closer because of this event.

I don't even like Scooby shows.

Why are they all in the bath with Shaggy?

Why aren't you?

But they're not in the bath.

I know that feel, Shag.

They're both sportsman, Shaggy is in the gymnastics team (according to the OG series), Fred is in team sports (usually american football)
They also share interests in music (both like rock), cars (Fred is more of a mechanic but has tried racing in an episode of What is New and Shaggy is a top notch racer and stunt driver and wrestling (In one episode of What is New Fred is the bigger fan but in another episode r maybe in the WWE movies, I remember one occasion where Shaggy was the big fan)

They actually have a lot in common.

Fifi La Fume? Usually, she doesn't need to be approached.

Itd make sense if they're renting it out or have a lease, I've always imagined that some of their mystery solving must have rewarded them with some kind of cash payment. How else would they afford to keep up maintenance on the fucking machine and their traveling?

Who would win in a fight?

Full powered ultra instinct Shaggy or a maxed-out /fit/ Fred who's spamming trap cards?
