brendalaFinally jumping on the "30 Days" meme bandwagon. Yay me!
My current favorite ship is a famous duo who took over 40 years to enter into a cannon relationship: Velma Dinkley and Shaggy Rogers from Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated.
I was torn on whether or not to choose this couple because the past few episodes of Mystery Incorporated have majorly altered Shaggy and Velma’s established personalities (thereby eliminating some of the traits that made them compatible to begin with). The show itself has an infuriating need to inject tons of melodrama into this relationship and chose to do so by violating cannon in a pretty nasty way (mainly by making Scooby hate Velma and making Velma act desperate).
Despite all that, it’s still compelling to watch (if only on a soap opera level) and I’m still rooting for them because, damn it, I waited over 20 years for them to be cannon! I just hope we get some indication in the near future that the relationship isn’t just built on teenage lust (I swear that’s what the current implication is! O_o). It’s weird to see characters who have been sweet and mellow in previous shows have one of the most dramatically messed up romances in kiddie cartoon history (in episode 8, Velma outright says “I hate myself for loving him”)!
*sigh* But, even if Mystery Incorporated does royally screw up a ship that Scooby fans have waited over 40 years to see, at least we'll still have these awesome screenshots to gawk at (hat tip to the person who captured them):
