AYRT

I mean, that's totally fair when it comes to her relationship with Shaggy where she was very obviously into him, people like to ignore that a lot. I do think the subtext is there though, it's been a while since I watched, but especially with her and hotdog water. I remember noticing even before, and I wasn't even a shipper.

idk, maybe there are better examples, and how I said, I appreciate it enough, don't take it as true canon.

It honestly reminds me of Willow from Buffy, and how she was only shown being into boys at first. And then she developed feelings for Tara, and suddenly she was only gay. That was back in the 90s, when bi erasure was even more common.

Mystery Inc. was years after that, and still had the same problem of Velma being genuinely interested in Shaggy, as well as some other boys, but being considered strictly a lesbian by one of the creators after the fact. I do think that this Velma is into girls, and I did see it with her and Hot Dog Water while the show was airing. But I don’t see her as strictly a lesbian because of her attraction to girls, when it goes against previous canonical attraction to boys. I would be down for a completely lesbian Velma in a future work, or another bi Velma, for sure. But Mystery Inc. doesn’t work in that direction for me.

I just head canon her as a teen discovering who she is. Eventually she decides that she could be a work in progress personality wise? Maybe?

Canon is not required to slap all possible labels on a given character as a contingency strategy. And for any canon to be witty and clever, some brevity is necessary.

I don’t think I really disagreed with that anywhere?
