follows Velma who is an amazing girl-boss who solves all the mysteries

Velma as a character was a lot of things, but she was mostly an insufferable, pathologically egotistical narcissist with hallucinatory delusions and severe mommy issues. Like, the show was horribly written, don't get me wrong, but let's not act like she was a Mary Sue.

I agree with your assessment, I maybe should have included an '/s' after amazing girl boss. That's the image she has of herself, that's how she carries herself. Like an insufferable, pathologically egotistical narcissist with hallucinatory delusions and severe mommy issues would do. ๐Ÿ™‚

I'll go ahead & add the /s, why not?

I didn't pick up on the sarcasm in your description. And I'm usually pretty good at that. Not sure if that's a flaw in my reading comprehension or if your intent just didn't carry in that sentence. Maybe a bit of both.

My intent didn't carry & I'm not known to be the best communicator. ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป

It's okay. Being a person is hard and communicating is a big part of being a person.

Adding the /s saves the pain not just for you, but for the readers of your comment that might struggle with reading tone in text.
