Is Scooby-Doo’s Velma Dinkley Finally Out? Here’s Why Twitter Says Yaas

Velma Dinkley has long been rumored to be queer. James Gunn has shared that was always his intention in the live-action films, and in the animated seriesMystery Incorporated, she sure seemed booed up with her special lady friend Hot Dog Water (yes, that was her name, let’s move on shall we).

But inTrick or Treat Scooby-Doo!, out today on digital release, something else finally became canon: Velma’s sexuality. Naturally, social media is losing its collective mind over the new member of the LGBTQ+ family.

So here’s how it all plays out (minor spoilers for Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! follow). In a clip shared on Twitter by @MythicalLlamaXO, Velma is seen melting down at the sight of a new character named Coco and her luxurious white locks. While she’s staring at her, we see Velma mentally assess Coco, breaking down her “incredible glasses”, “amazing turtleneck”, and “brilliant brain.” At that point, Velma’s glasses steam up and she begins blushing. Jinkies.

In another clip from later in the film, Velma finally takes the subtextual textual, admitting to Daphne that she does have feelings for Coco, saying she’s “crushing big time” on her.

After years of speculation and hints, it’s finally happening, and it’s no mystery why queer folks on Twitter are celebrating.
