Facts/Fun: A Wheel Impediment

As Scooter Boy's age was revealed, it actually gave credence to my (hitherto unspoken about) personal headcanon that Scooter Boy was younger than the other kids. This was mostly because I had noticed that Scooter Boy would pronounce Sarah as "Sawah"—pronouncing the R as a W—especially early in the series.

Difficulty with Rs/Rhotacism is common in children, so it makes sense that Scooter Boy might possibly have a speech disorder. However, later in the series, he seems to pronounce Sarah's name without difficulty. This is likely due to his voice actor, Dylan Issberner, aging as the show progressed, as Scooter Boy's voice is much higher pitched in early episodes as opposed to later ones.

Here is a video highlighting every time Scooter Boy says "Hello Sarah" to highlight the changes in speech.

As stated in the video, I personally recalled his first appearances in Big Shop/Sarah Gets a Cold as having pronounced hello as "hewwo", but upon collecting the clips for the video, I no longer hear this as clearly as I once did.

It should also be noted that, within my searching, Scooter Boy does not pronounce Rs as Ws elsewhere in his dialogue, or if he does, it is more difficult to tell. One such example is in The Big Sleepover, where he very clearly pronounces "sorry" regularly, without W sounds.

Facts: CANON Character Ages

The Characters section of sarahandduck.com reveals the ages of a large amount of characters. Here is a list of all of the given ages in years:

Sarah: 7

Duck: 2

John: 7

Flamingo: 9

Scooter Boy: 6

Plate Girl: 7

Ribbon Sisters: 7

Bug: 4

Tortoise: 100

The Shallots: 2

Umbrella: 2 (in Umbrella years)/7 (in human years)

Cake: 2 (in cake years)

Moon: 4.5 billion

Venus: 4.5 billion

Mars: 4.6 billion

Scarf Lady: 80

Donkey: 28

Bread Man: 40

Music Lady: 50

Cloud Captain: 70

Librarian: 60

At 6 years old, Scooter Boy is the youngest of the kids and the human cast as a whole. Scarf Lady is the oldest of the human cast at 80. Duck is the youngest of the animals at 2, and Tortoise beats the rest by a long shot at 100.

Despite having character pages, Bag and Rainbow are the only characters that do not have a listed age. For Rainbow, this is justified on the basis that he's an optical phenomenon, but is odd for Bag, who's another living object akin to Umbrella.

Fun: New Website Images/Animations

sarahandduck.com was updated yesterday, and with it came a lot of incredibly cool content, some of which will make plenty of great posts here! Among them are cute animations for the various sections of the site.

Left to right, top to bottom, these come from the Home, Characters, Make, Play, and News pages.

Unfortunately, the old site animations are no longer used. They are as follows:

Left to right, top to bottom, these were from the Home, Play, Watch, Grown Ups, and Make pages.

This is a very lovely and soft style! Definitely fits the vibe of the show.

Lots of Shallots!

Ducky Fools' is Now Over!

After a full day's worth of fighting, I have finally vanquished the evil spirit that took over my computer to post blatantly false content onto this blog. Phew...

In all seriousness, it was nice to "let loose" and just write down whatever inane drivels came to mind. I hope I wasn't too unfunny with some of those posts. Posts from here on will return to their regular nature.

Additionally, I'm considering making the Ducky Fools' posts private, in order to curb the potential spread of blatant misinformation. I understand it is not a serious situation at all, but I do somewhat feel like I "polluted" the Sarah & Duck tags. It's either that, or completely removing the series' tags on all the posts, so they would only be visible from this blog. I will think on this.

[its-a-ducky-mess]

The last post's statement is false.

[its-a-ducky-mess]

That new last post's statement is also false.

[its-a-ducky-mess]

One of today's blog posts is real.

[its-a-ducky-mess]

"Its head towered in the light, horns larger than its head, sounds that weren’t from this time. What a staggering sight."

A leaked pitch bible claims that the reason the Ribbon Sisters whisper so much is because they listen to terrible creepypasta readings on Youtube and they scream in fear for hours and thus wear out their voices. Additionally, Strawberry is most afraid of Smile Dog and Lemon is most afraid of Ben Drowned.

There were a few, let's call them patch notes to the Sarah & Duck series going into the 4th Series, highlighted in some totally real planning documents.

"-Sarah now has a smartphone, but whenever she attempts to use it, she drops it in a puddle. -Gave Duck "The Power." -It is now canon that John ██ ██ ████ █████████ ███ ███ ████████ ██ ███ █████████. -Bug has metamorphosized, but all that changed with him is that he's slightly bigger. -Umbrella now doesn't mind rain at all and don't come crying to me that this doesn't make sense, I am this universe's god I can do what I want. -The Ribbon Sisters have the canonical ability to teleport when not being observed. Sarah spends a whole episode trying to figure this out. -The Shallots merge into the Mega Shallot, and get a +3 Strength modifier. -Removed "The Power" from Duck and gave it to Bag. -Plate Girl is revealed to be ambidextrous for no real reason. idk, sue me idc at this point -Scooter Boy gets his ankle broken by his scooter once every episode he appears in, even if he's just in the background. To compensate, he gets $200 whenever he passes GO. -Cloud Captain and Music Lady get married on screen, but also that's the last episode they appear in. -A meteor strikes the Bread Shop but no one in-universe elaborates further than that. -Tomodachi Life 2 in 2026 is pretty hype right guys -Removed Lilith."

A Series 4 episode taking place during Boo Night again revolved around Sarah and Duck going around the neighborhood to hear scary stories from other characters. During the Ribbon Sisters' story, John asks Sarah if she has a sister, to which she replies with: "I did, but she's no longer with us."

After the show ended, there would've been a podcast featuring the cast of the show talking about behind the scenes information and generally acting in character in humorous ways. However, it never went past the first episode in planning due to incidents on set, such as John's voice actor getting into a fistfight with Sarah, the Narrator tripping over some marbles, and Plate Girl attempting to set off firecrackers while Scooter Boy begged her not to. Perhaps there's such thing as being too in character.

Skimming an interview, there was a unique question asked regarding Plate Girl. It is as follows: Q: "So, what is Plate Girl's story? Why does she like plates so much?"

A: "Plate Girl is wanted in over forty different countries."

The lore implications are astounding...

[its-a-ducky-mess]

A few pre-release concept documents revealed the original series finale, which instead involved Duck being able to speak English fluently. When asked by Sarah why he never spoke at all during their time together, Duck said he was "silenced for fear of speaking the truth."

Perhaps it's best that our webbed-footed friend only spoke in quacks.

[its-a-ducky-mess]

Another Series 4 episode synopsis includes one that's "If Sarah and Duck were on the moon and one of them killed the other with a rock, wouldn't that be messed up?"

I can see why Series 4 has taken a while to come out.
