Where'd that come from?

I'm working on a fic for the first numbers challenge of the year. There's an inconsequential character aggravating an established character and, often in circumstances like this, I go with the first name that pops into my head. Which is usually the name of the artist I'm listening to, a character from a book I'm reading, whatever.

So, what's the name that just popped into my head?

VELMA.

Why, I don't even know. I haven't watched Scooby-Doo since the girls were little. And I haven't even seen any commercials for it lately. But WHAMMO, there it was.

I'm not calling her that, by the way. I'm going to go with Veronica, I think. But dang. I need a vacation. Hahaha.

I don't see the Scooby Doo Velma. I see a really old broad with a cigarette (that has a healthy amount of ash hanging from it) clenched between her teeth (almost like someone that Elaine Stritch would have played) And Veronica's the opposite.

I just cackled SO LOUDLY at my desk reading this, thank you.

And now I'm thinking about the woman in the afterlife in Beetlejuice.

The annoying inconsequential character isn't too much older than my character, so probably early thirties at the oldest. (She's relatively new to me so I have no idea how old she is at the moment lol).

I need to go catch my breath. I keep looking up and start to laugh all over again.
