Powerful and Helpless: Norville observes that for all his strength and athletics, Fred is so infantile and sheltered that he can't even do something as simple as open a cereal box. |

Establishing Series Moment |
| | There Something Wrong With Us (Fanfic) / int_41c08e5 |
comment |
Establishing Series Moment: The fic opens with Velma talking about how certain shows, like Rick and Morty, love to mock their audience with smug self-awareness. This reflects how the fanfic explores the characters' humanity rather than using them to mock the audience, which is what many Scooby Doo fans accuse Velma — both the show and the character — of doing. |

Adaptational Intelligence: Norville is depicted as possessing far more self-awareness and introspection and is able to give other characters meaningful advice. Fred, once he gets bit of Character Development, also starts to show more emotional intelligence. |

| | There Something Wrong With Us (Fanfic) / int_7f8fd503 |
comment |
Lonely at the Top: Fred is a school variant: he is technically the Big Man on Campus, but he confides in Norville, a kid who is nominally lower on the totem pole then him, because he feels he can't go to anyone else. |

Adaptational Nice Guy |
| | There Something Wrong With Us (Fanfic) / int_82a64c4b |
comment |
Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed but present. This version of Velma is just as selfish, racist, hypocritical, cynical, and unpleasant as her canon counterpart, but this version has some depth and kindness; when Norville asks for a serious conversation, she agrees to a two-minute conversation where she admits that she's the kind of person who turns a love confession into a joke, but does care about Norville as a friend. And by the end of the story, when Norville and Fred are in the hospital and Velma calls him, she generally apologizes to Norville and admits that she is both a toxic person and he is better off without her in his life, implying that she wants to better herself, something her canon counterpart did not do at the end of the first season where she was happy with herself as a person. |

Marriage of Convenience: Fred and Daphne's relationship can be described as "dating for convenience". Outwardly, Fred and Daphne act like the perfect couple to gain popularity. But Daphne doesn't truly care about him, to the point of never bothering to visit him in prison. |

Deconstruction Fic |
| | There Something Wrong With Us (Fanfic) / int_e6b8db89 |
comment |
Deconstruction Fic: The fic takes the massive dysfunction of the Velma and plays it for drama, showing the characters as being genuinely messed up; in particular, Fred's father putting high standards on him while his mother endlessly babied him has left him completely unprepared for actual adult life, and he easily crumbles in stressful situations. |
