Quack Pack Week 2025 Day 9: Summer

Going swimming together at the water park and the kids invited their friends over for this prompt of @quackpackweek

[quackpackau]

What are the sibling dynamics between April, May and June?

The general idea is:

April - The oldest, leader, richest, controlling

May - Middle child, smartest, athletic, airheaded

June - The youngest, cutesy, strongest, manipulative

April tends to be controlling and would pull her sisters into a variety of situations when they were younger.

May usually would go along with everything and do whatever her sisters were doing (until current day QPAU, where she's set better boundaries.)

June leans into being the youngest and likes to use others to get things done (until she got her cafe, and has to do pretty much everything herself.)

---

Everyone on April:

April: I'm the oldest, wisest, and most qualified to lead us.

May: April is... not the best leader. She knows how to take charge, but fails to consider the feelings of her... subordinates.

June: Ha! There's a reason I got a cafe far from April's work.

---

Everyone on May:

April: Don't tell her I said this, but she might be the smartest person in the world.

May: I've been working on my mental and physical health, so I think I'm a decent sibling.

June: She's actually really nice, smart, strong, a great sister. ...also a little dense, but no one's perfect.

---

Everyone on June:

April: June is a manipulative liar. I love her, but don't ever trust a thing she says.

May: She can be manipulative, but she's got a sweet heart and means well. Don't listen to what April says about her.

June: I'm the most adorable sister. ...and the most underpaid one...

What do you think, if Donald and Daisy, as a result of some adventures of the whole McDuck family, became teenagers again, like May and June, how would they interact?

This is a good one anon. Sorry it took time, but I got some images in my mind, and had to draw them.

Anyway, Donald and Daisy are turned young, back to their teenage selves.

And the twins are absolutely delighted.

The girls are seeing their parents and they look like the coolest ducks ever. They were both eager to spend time with them. But there was one problem they didn't consider.

Donald and Daisy didn't care about them.

May tried to play with Donald, only to be shut down.

June didn't have it easy either. Daisy was glued to her phone and act like June didn't even exist. The little girl had no idea of how to speak with a teenage and just sat there defeated.

That's the thing with the twins, they don't know how to connect with teens, because they never met one before.

They were always around adults in FOWL, and later they met kids their age. Yes, Lena is a teen, but she actually want to be the twins' friend. Not the case here.

Here's when the twins need guidance, with I think will come in the form of aunt Della.

Della will tell them how to tease Donald enough to make him pay attention to them.

This is where I got some troubles, how the twins provoke Donald and Daisy, to the point where they can no longer ignore them?

But, you know what? There's no need to make things overly complicated. The twins pull of a copy of Mario Kart World and shoved it into Don and Dais' faces.

May: Wanna play? It just came out.

June: Of course, we understand if you're both afraid to lose to some little girls.

That was it.

Donald and Daisy couldn't refuse the challenge. They played for hours, having a lot of fun. Eventually, and since music run on the Duck family's veins, the got Rock Band and had a mini concert.

They ate pizza (Della bought it, using Scrooge's card of course), they watch a movie, and they all fall sleep on the coach.

For the twins it was amazing. They had spent the day with Donald and Daisy as friends, and learn about how they were as teens. May and June fall asleep thinking that, yeah, they have the coolest parents ever.

And that's it. Sorry anon if this was not what you expected. I'm too much of a wholesome slice of life enjoyer.

And finally the Disney family all together in a photo(i was not going to draw 420 Bunny children, so have 20 of them)

I love the idea of max's family being just so crazy Big is so funny and endearing to me, like, imagine max babysitting all the Bunny children asdasd(tho his closest cousins are huey Dewey and Louie)

there are characters that i didnt put there cuz they are not as close to family members to max as this ones are(pete is just an occasional friend) or just not official family members like Gilbert goof or mama goof(this are the found family members)

Huey was really done dirty by the finale… if only stupid Disney had let the full planned 4 seasons go ahead, they wouldn't have had to rush toward the finale like they did.

Though yeah, your ideas would make for better cohesive endings. I'm partial to some variant of #1, since it gives Huey's arc a conclusion (even better if you can work in the Duke somewhere), but then Webby is the one who gets shafted.

Personally though, I'm not that mad about Webby being a clone of Scrooge. Sure, it would've been better if she wasn't, but there WAS foreshadowing for that (most notably the Fountain of Youth episode) and it's not like she wasn't already a part of her family. How I personally interpret the "heir" thing is less about their motivation/actions in the moment and more about how Scrooge himself sees them. After all, he wrote "the true heir of Scrooge McDuck," and the Papyrus is both explained and shown to take everything extremely literally. So the most important factor wouldn't be Webby's (or anyone else's) motives in the moment, but whether or not Scrooge himself considers them to be a worthy successor.

At the time that was written, Donald and Della were the only ones who qualified, but by the time of the finale, I believe that had expanded to include Webby and the triplets. Just because Bradford and Heron thought it had to be a biological relative didn't mean they were right, nor does it mean that's why it actually worked.

After all, if May and June are clones of Scrooge (by way of Webby) as well, then they're just as much his biological relatives as she is. Yet clearly the Papyrus didn't appear to them, or they wouldn't have needed Webby at all. It worked because regardless of her genetics, Webby was among Scrooge's heirs long before that moment.

Which means that if Beakley hadn't taken Webby to Scrooge in the first place, she wouldn't have been any more capable of retrieving the Papyrus than May and June were.

Yeah, the finale is a mess, but I don't think that's the worst part of it. For me, the lack of a resolution for Huey's arc takes that prize, especially when his brothers got such satisfying ones in the previous seasons.

God what if I got back on the DuckTales finale again. I’ve being thinking about it more and it PISSES ME OFF!!!!! ARGGGGGGG. Other people have made this point, and have done so more eloquently than I will, but I need to type out a rant anyway.

Webby Vanderquack being a clone of Scrooge completely shits all over the entire show’s message of found family! It doesn’t matter that she gives a speech about “Family being the people who care about you.” It doesn’t matter that Scrooge calls the entire cast his family at the end. Having “The rightful heir of Scrooge McDuck” be revealed to be a genetic clone of him, aka 100% related to him right before she takes the Papyrus that will only appear to the heir of Scrooge, makes it seem like only people biologically related to you are really your “family”.

Obviously that’s not what the show wants us to take away, but that’s what it seems like. Webby being a clone of Scrooge (and calling him “Dad” at the end which is fucking wild???!!!) adds nothing! All it does is take away from the fact that Beakley raised her and make someone who she (arguably) never saw as a father (I’d argue more of a mentorship) her dad. For what? For genetics? For biology? Bullshit.

Here’s how to actually do it, a couple proposals depending on what you want to do with Webby, May and June.

Option 1: There are no May and June. Give the finale to some established characters instead of some random twerps. Huey is kidnapped by F.O.W.L, and is initially extremely resistant to their message, but is enthralled by Bradford’s connection to Isabella Finch. He eventually gives in to their message that he belongs there, with people of his intellect, and not with his brothers and family. When the rest of the Ducks/McDucks/the gang show up to rescue him, he is caught in this moment between his family yelling for him not to do it, and Bradford telling him that all he has to do to have a life at F.O.W.L., a life with his people, is reach forward and take it. Huey chooses F.O.W.L. And the Papyrus does not appear to him. And everyone is really confused because that should have worked?? He’s an heir of Scrooge??? So Bradley’s like “hmmm, disappointing, guess I’ll kill you.” Or whatever. And then the episode follows a similar trajectory, big epic battles trying to rescue Huey (because family forgives each other or whatever) until a second opportunity arrises for someone to grab the Papyrus, but the only person with an open shot at it is Webby. Webby, not genetically related to Scrooge at all, runs up to the spot where it should appear, with the gang (Scrooge, Dewey and Louie, Donald, Della, etc.) all cheering her on, and the Papyrus appears to her and she takes it. Bc family is who’s there for you and not who you’re related to. Then whatever, family is the greatest adventure of all blah blah blah. Big emotional climax, we forgive Huey, all is well.

Right? Obviously it’s not perfect, I’m no writer, but doesn’t that make sense? It also plays better into Huey’s little “I’m the smartest person ever” arc that he had going on than the current finale did. I just picked him for the brother that betrayed them because he’s already teed up for it, but it could be Louie, Dewey, Donald or whoever. As long as it was set up in a believable way.

But say that you really like May and June. Fine, let’s keep them in there.

Option 2: A very similar set up to the current finale, except May and June are revealed right away to be clones of Scrooge, not Webby. Webby is not related to him/them. Then May and June, along with Webby (+Huey, I guess) go back to F.O.W.L headquarters together, the same rescue mission ensues, but at one point one of the twins breaks away from the fight and runs up to the platform where the Papyrus is being held. She reaches out for it, fully prepared to take it and bring it back to Bradford, only it doesn’t appear. And then Bradford can be like “hmmm, disappointing, guess I’ll kill you guys.” And then the twins are getting saved (just bc it’s the right thing to do, and not let two little girls die.) (perhaps at Webby’s urging: “This is the only family they’ve ever known, of course they chose F.O.W.L. But if we show them what real family looks like, they’ll know they made a mistake!” Type shit.) and Webby has her shot to get the Papyrus, and it appears to her and she takes it. Same reasoning. Idk, maybe she can give it to Bradford when he’s threatening May and June, because she wants them to be like sisters to her, and they’re so moved by her display that they decide not to be evil anymore. They save Webby/Scrooge/someone and everyone learns to trust them. They defeat Bradford. Family is the greatest adventure of all, blah blah blah, we’re all falling out of an airplane.

Right? Because it didn’t matter that they were clones of him? It only matters that he wasn’t really their family until both sides decided to care for and trust each other. And Webby still takes the Papyrus. But what if, for some reason, you really like that Webby is a clone of Scrooge? Fine, third time’s the charm, I guess.

Option 3: The exact same setup as the finale, except when Webby goes to get the Papyrus for Bradford, it doesn’t appear. Because she’s choosing to go against Scrooge and his family, which means that in no way could she be the rightful heir of Scrooge McDuck. Bradford, just like in every universe is before, is like “hmm, disappointing, guess I’ll kill you now.” And the rescue mission occurs. Webby realizes her mistake, realizes that F.O.W.L. could never be her home, and apologizes. Then, just like before, a big battle ensues. Webby breaks away from the fight, and she has the chance to take it again. Only this time she is on Scrooge’s side, and he is cheering her on and telling her that he knows it’ll appear, and it does. And she takes it. Because only after she accepted that the gang is her real family could she take the Papyrus. Then whatever, she gives it up to save May and June and they’re moved, just like in option two. Anything goes, nothing matters, family is the greatest adventure of all time, blah blah blah, roll credits.

(You could also just cut May and June from option 3, have Webby be revealed to be a sole clone of Scrooge and the same arc plays out, sans twins. We’ll call that option 3.5)

Literally anything would be better. But as it currently stands, it seems like the only reason the Papyrus of Binding appeared to Webby is because she is a clone of Scrooge, because she was actively working against him at the time. Also the finale was poorly handled in other aspects, both like this and not. I think Webby had some interesting potential with Beakley in a few scenes. Beakley explaining (lying about) who her parents were, and Webby, dressed as June, having the opportunity to torture her Grandmother for information. But both scenes were not well handled, and Beakley lying is just kinda weird for the story imo. Also Huey’s arc was underdone and Dewey, Louie, Donald and Della definitely should have had more to do. I like Huey, he’s my favorite, but it’s a three part finale and they spent too much time on two new characters who were just diet Webby, and didn’t even really add anything imo. Also there were too many other characters, so none of them got to do anything.

Overall, I was disappointed. I like the scene of them falling out of the airplane, though. Wish it felt better deserved.

Okay that’s all. <3 Goodnight!

P.S. just figured I’d say that I did not even read this back. Sorry if it’s nonsense. Not even beta read by me lol

[brotherly-lov3]

Six kids... till now

I know Webby is Scrooge’s girl, but she's included in Donald’s family hugs so I may add her too

🪻Check out my comms🪻

ducktales dump from the past few months 😇

[stormy-nights-are-best]

14-year old Webby and her uhhhhhh twin sisters slash grand-nieces slash cousins who live with a fashion designer

^^^ Here's the concept poorly edited over young Scrooge (I made her look younger because I was aiming for age 14 and Scrooge here looks at least 17)

I really like the idea of Webby growing Scrooge's whiskers and chest fluff, maybe after her first molt or something, but she'd HAVE to quit the cute bob 'cause what the hell is this:

She looks like a golden lion tamarin help

Anyways I figured it'd all come together if she was just edgy yk. Gave her an emo teen eyeliner. All ready for her "brooding teenage" years!

Does Webby Know AMJ in this AU?

Yeah. For better or for worse, she's everyone's little sister.

April: She's our sweet little sis.

May: Our adorable little sister.

June: Our dependable little sister.

Webby, annoyed: I'm only a little younger than them...
