Scooby-Doo (Fandom)/Ships

= Meddling Kids = 

Meddling Kids is the poly ship between Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers from the Scooby-Doo fandom. It can also be seen as a friendship.

Canon
Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy are the main human characters of the Scooby-Doo franchise. Together, along with Shaggy's talking dog Scooby-Doo, the four teens make up the mystery solving team known as Mystery Incorporated or Mystery Inc. and regularly travel across the globe in their van the Mystery Machine on adventures whilst also dealing with mysteries supposedly involving real paranormal and supernatural threats but which are more often than not just normal criminals in costumes.

Because of the episodic nature of most of the cartoons, examples of genuine romance in the franchise are usually rare and far between and almost always composed of someone outside of the main four feeling attracted towards one or more of the members with Shaggy almost always being the reciprocate of this.

Despite this, there have been times where some members of the gang have shown feelings for each other outside of the platonic, particularly with Fred and Daphne's on and off again relationship throughout the entire series. In some cases, they actually are in a relationship while in others they are either just friends or secretly pining for each other.

In ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scooby-Doo!_Mystery_Incorporated Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated]'', Shaggy and Velma are also briefly in a relationship, though it doesn't last for very long.

Fanon
Though Mystery Incorporated have almost always been portrayed as just being friends in the cartoons over the years, many fans believe that there's a lot more to it than that. With some even suggesting that the gang are probably in a romantic and, or sexual poly relationship.
