About

Origin

On February 15th, 2023, the YouTube^[1] channel Avocado Animations uploaded "Velma Meets the Original Velma," a fan-made animation based on Scooby-Doo characters. In the animation, Shaggy from the 2023 show adopts a dog, with Velma immediately struck by visions of her past lives from previous Scooby-Doo installations in which she is solving mysteries together with Mystery Inc. After running out of the house, Velma is confronted by the dog, an eerie, bipedal version of Scooby-Doo, who reveals that he has killed the original Mystery Inc. and reset the Scooby-Doo world after Velma started asking questions about Scooby's ability to talk, and repeated the process each time Velma remembered of her past incarnations and the events that unfolded.
