I PLEAD THE FIFTH.

an unwanted concept.  norville ‘shaggy’ rogers after the inevitable death of scooby-doo.

 NORVILLE ‘SHAGGY’ ROGERS  +  the concept of fear .

FEAR has been associated with shaggy since his original conception back in the 1960s. it was a common theme for him  /  being the buttmonkey as he panics & runs away from the monster of the week, along with his best friend, scooby-doo. but the question is why? what makes shaggy tic? what causes him to run, even knowing that there’s a possibility ( a high one, at that ) of it all being pointless in the end? it all comes down to two words. panic disorder.

a medical definition of panic disorder, one of many as one person’s disorder isn’t necessarily identical to another’s, is such:

an anxiety disorder that is characterized by sudden attacks of fear and panic. panic attacks may occur without a known reason, but more frequently they are triggered by fear-producing events or thoughts, such as taking an elevator or driving. symptoms of panic attacks include rapid heartbeat, strange chest sensations, shortness of breath, dizziness, tingling, and anxiousness. hyperventilation, agitation, and withdrawal are common results. panic disorder is believed to be due to an abnormal activation of the body’s hormonal system, causing a sudden ’ fight or flight ’ response. 

shaggy was DIAGNOSED as a child, showing signs at an early age & doctors noticing abnormalities within the area of the brain that control the body’s fight or flight response. most of the time, shaggy truly isn’t actually scared or afraid of something  /  it’s his mind quite literally telling him to run away & his body obeys. it’s a part of him that he can’t control, though he has shown some signs of improvement as he’s aged throughout the years. 

his father did realize that certain factors soothed him. one, in particular, was animals. he’s always had a natural affinity for them, showing signs of calmness & delight when he came in contact with them, especially canines. it’s why the dog known as scooby-doo came into his life. if keeping a pet around would keep the panic attacks & bouts of anxiety down, then so be it. it’s why one rarely finds shaggy by himself. without scooby, more than likely the attacks would increase in their number.

another factor is MARIJUANA  /  his mother being an advocate of the medicinal drug. though it’s common that the drug has calming effects, it was also something shaggy found in later years that helped him. though many of his friends do not approve of his habits, he knows it’s a necessary part of his life.
