This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever done. Which sounds like I am about to drop some heavy shit on you but literally it is almost impossible to find pictures of Daphne Blake on the internet that isn’t porn. Which also sounds like the start of some sort one’s ‘edgy’ fan fiction about the fall of the Scooby Gang but is actually the reality of the internet and fictional characters but somehow especially true for Daphne. There is probably a whole lot I could unpack about why she specifically runs into this (and my ideas range from Hanna-Barbera having notoriously terrible animation and art to her original role on the show simply being the pretty girl which in our culture equates to eye candy and rectification) but I don’t think I’ll do that. Cause it sounds like real effort and I am lazy. Besides, this post is about how great Scooby Doo is. I have posted Daphne once before and to be entirely honest almost posted her a few times in the intervening years but gave up each time due to lack of pictures. But I watched Scoobynatural last night before bed. Which if you don’t know is the Scooby Doo and Supernatural cross over. Which kind of makes sense. I had fallen behind on Supernatural (and spend the last two weeks catching up so I could watch this episode because I am a moron) but when I originally watched it it was at the end of the first season. On the internet someone made a comment about how they would watch a Scooby Doo show meant for adults. Someone commented, “Isn’t that what Supernatural already is?” So I immediately looked up the show because you might not know this but I love Scooby Doo. I don’t know why but given my love of horror and so on I feel like there is a through line there to my current interests. I guess some thins are just always there. And like a large portion of my generation apparently, I always though Daphne Blake was really hot. Always. And I feel like some of my other likes as an adult can maybe be traced back that far as well but then it scares me so I won’t pull that thread. My point is, in the episode, which I thought was a lot of fun, Dean is way into Daphne and deeply loves Scooby and the entire game. I related a lot. Plus, Daphne had maybe my favorite moment when the realization that Ghosts are real sends her into an existential crisis about what it means about the afterlife and where she might end up. So why not post her. I mean, I actually found a few pictures this time and it was fun and while we’re at it we did eventually get Scooby Doo for adults in my opinion, it was Mystery Inc. It ruled. Today I want to fuck Daphne Blake.
