In Arkham they don't allow outside media in fear of the rouges getting any ideas. This leads to them treating the staff like their own personal TV show, this leads to a level of parasocial obsession that can often be detrimental (See Harley Quinn as a notable example). So when DR. Jazz Fenton comes in with subtle hinting of government conspiracies and a 'i've seen worse' attitude they are INVESTED. Meany of them are staying just for the show, their plans can wait they NEED to know this woman's backstory.
"hey it's been awfully quiet"
"Yeah, new hire at Arkham, it happens sometimes"
*3 months later*
"sooo"
"yeah something's definitely up"
The rogues would probably be hooked on Jazz's Backstory like a tela nueva show even if it bit and pieces of it.
'My previous ex tried to bring his girlfriend back from between the another plane of existence through me by giving me her clothes, jewelry so she can possess me as her new host to bring her back. The relationship didn't work out.'
'My brother got cloned once and his clone tried to replace him, but they work it out by fighting our nut job of a godfather who is much better now then previously.'
'My parents hunt the supernatural then my brother became half of one, they didn't really noticed that as they kept threatening to rip his other self molecule by molecule for years until he revealed it to them after graduating. Dad still haven't forgiven himself for not realizing it sooner and keep on sending my brother fudge.'
'You should seen how many time my brother got kidnapped by out of the woodlands cultists, just because he was the balance. They think that if they can kill or appeased him, the world would be reborn. They remind me of the green raccoons at home.'
The ones most invested in the story is croc, riddler,, scarecrow, and secretly joker who been saying he not interested but he totally is.
Croc: Okay, so I figured out something. Maybe Dr Fenton is from thr Feywilds? Her Parents are Hunters, her brother is Half Supernatural, and she herself is weird right?
Joker: Oh please, she said her parents were Hunters of the Supernatural, not hunters in general, and her brother wasn't born half Supernatural, he was turned into one.
Croc: ...I thought you didn't care about it?
Joker: I DON'T!!!
What if there are outright contradictions in the breadcrumbs of information Jazz drops? Like if Dani is Jazz little sister, cousin, niece, or her brother's clone depending on how she's feeling at the moment, and it's never been cleared up that Dani and Danny are different people. Just imagine the chaos of the rouges trying to put the puzzle together if they all have different (and seemingly incompatible) pieces.
If Jazz notices the minor obsession her patients have with the lives of the staff, I could see her using that as a motivation to do well in therapy. Do well on an assignment and get one free question.
*at another table away from the 'fake' fans* Riddler: So, I used my free question from the assignment and confirmed that the government made the creatures from the other world illegal in 2006
Scarecrow: Man, your so lucky to have Dr Jazz as your therapist
Red Hood, who was sent in to see what was making the rouges stay in Arkham: Hmm if only we had access to the internet so we could look into the laws made in 2006
Red Robin, who was sent in to see what was taking Red Hood so long: If only
They have a conspiracy board, all the pictures are Scarecrow's crayon drawing interpretations, where there should be string and pins is just paper attached with glue-sticks.
Danny comes to visit her at work as she forgot her lunch at home. Just comes right to Arkam to drop it off like the place was a regular office building. It is of course just after lunch when he gets through all the security, the lunch is checked, and is given his visitor badge. Rocks right up to her office walking past the outdoor yard then back again with Jazz as she walks him out. Both of them bickering at each other completely missing that the entire yard is riveted by it.
"You did not have to bring my lunch, they have a cafeteria here I would have been fine." Jazz scolds.
"Lunchbox would be so sad if you did not eat the lunch they made you." Danny argues.
"Lunchbox made me twenty lunches last time they visited. We had to freeze them so they would not go bad. I could have had it tomorrow. Just admit you were worried." Jazz says.
"Am not. This is like not even the top five of scary prisons." Danny scoffs.
"Mental Institution not a prison. It is not meant to be scary so it does not count on two fronts. Also dungeons and pocket dimensions of eternal torment of your worse fears do not count as prisons." Jazz says as if hashing out an old argument.
"They do so. Fright Knight's has to count he calls it a prison of your worse unending fears. I will give you Pariah's dungeon not counting as I don't think it counts as it is part of his Castle." Danny whines.
They get to far away after that to really hear the rest but it is more than enough. A crayon snaps as Riddler starts to scribble out how this new lore fits into things.
That gazebo is so fucked
Are you sure gazebo is the correct word?
Are
you
sure?
idk why you’re confused, that poor gazebo needs help
This has hit my dash three times… that final reblog made it worthy.
I only liked this for the gif
You cannot call for help, you must face the gazebo alone
forever reblog
ALWAYS REBLOG.
final image made it all worth it
I can't wait till speed runners get a hold of this.
Bro making it reeeeeeal hard to imagine Sisyphus happy
The steam page describes it as "A game about a very happy guy and his boulder."
If we play this, on purpose, for entertainment, are we not proving that Sisyphus can be happy?
the realization🔥🗣️
Anyone looking to make a proper Scooby-Doo adaptation please remember:
Fred is the charismatic face of the group and the strategizer. Later adaptations made him a massive himbo who chugs respect for women juice and those have become necessary parts of his character.
Shaggy is cowardly but also incredibly resourceful; let us not forget his skill at ventriloquism. Make Shaggy the skill monkey, who every episode mentions some weird skill he has that's previously unmentioned; that'd be an amazing running gag. Also, bring back the dry humor Casey Kasem injected into the og character.
Scooby is Shaggy's best friend, the other half to his two-man comedy routine. Independently of Shaggy, Scooby is also prone to be a bit mischievous and just kind of a little scamp. Play up both of those things.
Velma is the smart nerdy one, who also had a really dry sense of humor. I don't know why she was turned into the "I'm surrounded by idiots" character because, while as I stated, she always had a dry sense of humor, she was never mean to her friends and never talked down to them, or anyone else. Bring back the chipper Velma from like Witch's Ghost or Zombie Island. Let Velma be a little cutie pie. Also keep her as a lebian
Daphne was... originally really just "The Girly One" but later adaptations have fleshed her out, like making her essentially the muscle of the group, which is just amazing and should continue. She's also been cast as the oddly resourceful one. Shaggy is the skill monkey, Daphne is the one who has a tool for literally any job. Human Swiss Army Knife, which again, would be an amazing running gag.
Have Shaggy and Daphne bounce off-the-wall ideas for a plan together, Fred steps in to ground them, while still using their ideas, and incorporating Velma's theories about the case.
Make references to Flim Flam and Hot Dog Water
A Scooby-Doo adaptation should not be difficult, and must be done with love.
The fact this was Damian's go-to fake name is killing me
