The "origin story" of Velma Dinkley, the unsung and underappreciated brains of the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. gang was a HUGE LIE. This isn't my origin story, but a story of how a group of mystery solvers went from friends to enemies and friends again, due to a murder.
This is an attempt of correcting/redo HBO MAX's Velma series while also including a male reader insert since Mindy Kaling self-inserted herself anyways.
SPOILER WARNING!!!...not that some would care anyways, I'll try to be as spoiler free as possible...but I might not so you've been warned...again you might not care anyways.
(I DO NOT OWN SCOOBY-DOO & THE CHARACTERS, only Warner Bros and Hanna Barbera own Scooby-Doo and the show, But YOU own yourself.)
