[d-fauntleroy-duck]

Hey there, I've been trying to find a solid answer to these questions with no luck: Was Donald canonically raised by Grandma Duck? And, if so has anyone ever clarified what happened to Hortense and Quackmore? Also I know there are a few comics out there talking about Donald's childhood and I was wondering if you could recommend a few.

The problem with ‘canon’ can usually be summarized with the saying, “too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth”. You’ve got your Don Rosa, Carl Barks, Elisa Penna, Vic Lockman, Marco Rota and many, many others, all of whom have had a chance to write Duck family comics and input their own take on canon. Was Donald canonically raised by Grandma Duck? Yes, in a few cases we can trace back to instances that show little baby Donald Duck with Grandma Duck. This Is Your Life, Donald Duck, a book from 1960, shows Grandma Duck raising him.

I believe we also get from this book the reasoning behind why Donald wears a sailor hat; apparently he bonks his head on the ground like that because he hates the silly bonnet Grandma put on him. She takes him to see a naval ship one day, he keeps bonking his head on the deck but in doing so he alerts the sailors that the bulkhead is full of water through the unusual sound his head was making against the deck. As thanks, one sailor gives Donald his cap and poor Donald never has to wear that silly bonnet again. 

Now both This Is Your Life, Donald Duck and another comic called Happy Birthday, Donald or From Egg to Duck were both written by Marco Rota, who was stuck on the concept of Donald being ‘found’ by Grandma Duck and raised from an egg. Rota didn’t care for the concept of Della and never acknowledged her existence so to him Donald doesn’t have a twin sister. Of course that also means he didn’t believe there was a Hortense or Quackmore to conceive baby Donald. 

Unfortunately at this point in time there aren’t any comics that go into any sort of explanation behind the current location or circumstance Hortense and Quackmore are in. From The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck we know they were a real couple and they’re the parents of Donald and Della Duck but no one’s given us anything to go on where they are now or what happened to them.

Right now the Netherlands is releasing one page comics going over a lot of baby Donald’s first experiences (Donald’s Eerste ...), a lot of which include little Della, Gladstone and Fethry. They’re cute, so far there’s been one on finding his first Easter Egg, his first dance lesson, competing with Della is prominent in a few of them. Those are definitely worth finding if you can, though you might need to have them translated from their original Dutch. yourstrulychitchat here on tumblr has a few uploaded.

At least its non-invasive. These are the easiest to go in, get fixed, and then leave. Wished my surgeries had been the same so I feel for you, my child. Just take deep breaths and repeat the old mantra: This too shall pass.

Sending every hug I've got. You have every right to be scared - it's a scary thing! Recognize the fear comes from a healthy place and it's okay to be scared for a bit. Sometimes that helps me deal with fear - kinda putting it in its proper place. In the meanwhile, surround yourself with good warm distractions, and we'll all be here for you when you get back! ((HUGS))

You are all wonderful and I am so grateful to know you. <3<3

Anxiety sucks and I'm so sorry you're going through this. As someone who's had a lot of surgeries in her life (about 12), I can tell you honestly that waiting for the procedure to happen is the worst part. Post-op sucks, but there's always that feeling of relief when it's over and all you have to do is recover. I know that's not much of a comfort, especially when your brain feels like it's on overload, but I hope it helps a little bit. *hugs* <3

I'm SO sorry, I wish I could do something to distract you! Looks like you have some good outs (games, reading, kitty) I've had several friends undergo major surgeries recently - it SUCKS and you have every right to feel nervous and upset. Don't feel bad about feeling bad (cuz that can make you feel WORSE) but remember to love yourself extra gentle, and take time whenever you need it. Do lots of stuff just for YOU this week. I'll be thinking of you. (lots of hugs)

I could just kiss all of you (and hug you, and probably cry on you because you’re all so wonderful). Thank you so much for putting up with all of my weird brain posts, and my whining, and for having patience while I try to work through all my weird life-tangles right now. 

Luckily this procedure won’t be too invasive, and fingers crossed it will cut down on my chronic pain -- but good lord I am not looking forward to it. 

Thank you all, for being so lovely, and kind, and patient, and giving. Come over and I’ll bake us pound cake when I get up and walking again. <3<3<3

Thank you all again for being so kind. I talked to my parents again today -- they’re still a mess, but apparently this is not...a singular event, when it comes to this vet (Dad talked to a couple of his parishioners and the vet in town is...pretty bad in general). 

I just want things to be easy for them, for a little while. They deserve some peace and happiness. 

Sending hugs to all of you. <3<3 I know the best, best people.

For some reason makeup artists are expected to dress like they’re going to a funeral everyday. Favorite animal: They’re all my favorite. Seriously. Average hours of sleep: Right now? Anywhere between 4 and 10. The twins decide. Cat or Dog person: I adore both, but if there is a dog in the room it’s unlikely I’ll be good company… I’ll be on the floor giving belly rubs.

There were so many incredible artists and fic writers, it just seemed to make sense. Also, no one in “real life” will geek out with me about cartoons, so this seemed like a good outlet.

@servantofclio tagged me for this game:

Rules: Answer all questions, add one question of your own and tag as many people as there are questions.

Coke or Pepsi: This is weird but, Regular Pepsi, Diet Coke or Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi.

Disney or Dreamworks: If I really thought about it, I’m sure I would find that I have more favorites by Dreamworks.

Coffee or tea: Iced coffee. And I like to drown it with lots of sugar and cream.

Books or movies: I’m a bibliophile. I’m more likely to try a book that comes highly recommended before a movie.

Windows or Mac: I’m pretty comfortable with both. I’ll even use Ubuntu if I have to. Any port in a storm.

DC or Marvel: I used to think Marvel but I’m beginning to wonder if DC is where it’s all at.

Xbox or PlayStation: The reason why I haven’t played Mass Effect or Dragon Age... I haven’t used any kind of gaming system since SUPER NINTENDO. Seriously, I was too broke in college to buy one and I wouldn’t have had time to play anyway. I want a PlayStation, but my husband is afraid he’ll get hooked again and I’ll divorce him.

Dragon Age or Mass Effect: I have a feeling that if I had played them both, I would have a very difficult time answering that question.

Night owl or early riser: Night owl. I can still get up early if I have to, but I love staying up late.

Cards or chess: I agree with Clio. Board games.

Chocolate or vanilla: Chocolate most of the time. With peanut butter. Nom.

Vans or Converse: Oh gosh, name brands? I think my sneakers are some kind of Puma knock-off. My dog has tried to eat them and I still wear them. I shop at Payless, guys. I’m not even sure what Vans are.

Lavellan, Trevelyan, Cadash, or Adaar: Are you trying to name my children? Because I’m inclined to allow it.

Paragon or Renegade: Now you’re just messing with me.

Star Wars or Star Trek: They’re both so important!!!!!!

Ocean or space: Once upon a time, I might have said space. But I had a really weird experience watching Interstellar and now I’m going to have to say ocean.

Top or bottom (of a bagel obv): I eat mine like a sandwich. Ain’t nobody got time to eat two halves.

Ebook or paper? Paper. Forever. I hoard books. Seriously. I do enjoy e-books, but there is nothing like the smell of a library or the dusty pages of a used book.

My Question is: Phone Calls or Text Message?

I tag @katielynn526, @theonemouse-canada, and @gurstingasketch if you all have time! Actually, if you want to do this, consider yourself tagged. <3
