TIL that right-wing conservative groups complained about the 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo which the co-producer believes may have contributed to the show only having one season and I am SHOOKETH that we were denied more of one of my favorite spin-offs of all time because conservatives didn’t like real ghosts

Headcanon that it wasn't just dumb luck that Shaggy, Daphne, and the Doos ended up in the Himalayas.
It's never dumb luck that they stumble upon a mystery. There are forces in the universe that know that they are the ones who can fix very specific problems. They are innately drawn to ghosts and ghouls, and though locked away, the power of 13 of the most powerful demons had to have beckoned them, though they didn't know it.
They had probably blipped on Vincent's crystal ball for causing disturbances in the supernatural world for years. He had to be vaguely aware of them. But when he saw them, he knew that he had to act quickly. There was another like them, one who needed them.
Flimflam was orphaned in a town of werewolves who hated him. Vincent had taken him in, but Vincent was not very paternal, nor patient. Nor was he mortal. This boy needed to be raised in a world of mortals, by mortals.
And these mortals, whose fate was so entwined in the bizarre, were the perfect fit to deal with the specific challenges of raising a child like Flimflam.
And then the Demon Chest was opened and Vincent got to see first hand what a great match they all were. He was rarely wrong, afterall.

I feel like if they were to make another Scooby Doo series, they should reboot the 13 Ghosts (properly this time). Lemme tell you why:
(Also Note: I have not seen the 13 Ghost movie in it's entirety so pls just keep that in mind)
okay so first we could have that found family dynamic that everyone loves and that the 13 Ghosts had amazing set up and some execution but i don't think reached it's full potential.
Dad!Vincent parenting a bunch of wack kids who insist on helping put the demons back and they keep showing up at his house how did they even find this address I live at the top of a cliff in the middle of nowhere what do you mean you brought my Chinese food - that delivery person gave you my adress didn't he I always knew he was a bad egg
Next I think that we should get a proper Flim Flam and Vincent backstory - how did they meet? where? Why is Flim Flam staying with Vincent? and we could have some added depth there
And an cool aspect of Flim Flam and Vincent's relationship is that Vincent is a real-deal wizard where Flim Flam is (like his name suggests) a con artist. I think this could bring an interesting facet to their relationship and maybe even drive the inner conflict of at least one episode
Then I think that we should have more lore abt the Chest of Demons, like where it came from, how they were trapped originally, etc, etc,
Explore the magical community and Vincent's place in it
along these lines ppl in the magic community must have at least heard of the Scooby Gang and their exploits - watch Scooby become a celebrity in the Magic world and have one of those cliche "fame is dangerous episodes" while building lore
Daphne leadership role!!!
I always kinda went with the idea that Daph, Shag and Scooby didn't tell Fred and Velma abt the chest bc they wanted to protect them from the demons
Like when they were originally going after the demons they weren't just tracking them - they demons were tracking them back and it often got dangerous, so we could have some tension with Fred and Velma thinking that the trio is lying to them and a heartfelt episode with that
Then I think that Weerd and Bogel deserve a redemption arc
They were always treated badly by the demons and i think that the one episode where they pretend to team up with the gang could be a turning point where they realize how teams are supposed to work and how the gang shows them (their enemies) genuine compassion
They're funny and they also have a complex dynamic that I would have liked to explore
I think that Daphne's sister (either an older one from SDMI (prob Delilah) or a younger one, like the one that was pitched with Scrappy to be his owner(kinda leaning towards this)) would be a good edition
Depending on if she was older or younger she could be a mentor or a good friend for Flim Flam and Scrappy
I see this Daphne as being more of a leader than her goofy BC self(who I love don't get me wrong) but I think that Daphne's sister could bring a goofier element with Flim Flam and Scrappy
AND
BRING BACK SCRAPPY
He was such a good boy in this series - such a good friend to Flim Flam and so supportive of his uncle
There is so much wasted potential with his character, in my opinion but that's for a whole other post probably - this has already gotten longer than i expected
anyway that's most of my ideas - i probably have more somewhere in my head
