#but like Dewey is the MOST Della and Donald imo

[writebackatya]

The parallels that Dewey has with mom and Uncle Donald just hits me on another level

no self control once again:

Ducktales Characters as Fruits

(Based off opinion because fruits don't have personalities)

Huey- Apple, but not red delicious they're not delicious. He'd be gala or pacific rose

Dewey- raspberry. Cool, fun looking, most likely to be hiding a spider from you

Louie- kiwi. Bitter but sweet, tough skin and soft inside. I really like kiwis

Webby- Pineapple. Spiky outside and acidic center, but still super sweet and great

Lena- blackberry. dark and looks emo tbh. Not much else here except they're kinda bitter

Violet- grape. Idk they're purple and I like grapes and also purple

Donald- blueberry. They're mushy and have a muted taste imo, and they're blue. And in my brain Donald will always be blue

Scrooge- cherry. Shiny red exterior, hard center. Later in the series he becomes a pitless cherry, but ye

Gyro- lemon. Do I need to explain here....? I will: Super sour and bitter yet i love them and will order a plate at restaurants for 'my water'

Fenton- mango. Idk mangos just seem like a Fenton fruit. I can't explain it well but I saw it and immediately knew

Della- tomato. No I will not explain this one and no I don't take criticism.

Please keep in mind these are my opinions and nobody has to accept these as fact lol this was just for fun

This was for the person who asked me to do foods! There's a lot of foods so I'll just do small groups. Tell me what I should do next!

a whole mess of ducktales monster au doodles from the past month or so! it’s a monster falls-style deal, a fake episode sort of scenario where the gang gets turned into monsters because of..some curse or something. check under the cut for details!

this post has most of the designs ive done so far. here’s what everybody is:

for the triplets i wanted to go with some sort of theme that let them be different creatures but still unified in some way (and have simple and fun to draw designs), and half-human monsters from greek myth ended up being that theme. huey’s an icthyocentaur, dewey’s a satyr/faun, and louie’s a harpy. louie’s design is based on the harpies in storkules in duckburg

i was originally going to go with a supernatural/ghosty/undead theme for team magic but the idea of unicorn centaur webby was just TOO GOOD. lena’s a ghost, which is kind of an obvious choice, but oh well. i still haven’t figured out one for violet yet, but she’ll be coming soon enough.

scrooge is a dragon! this is directly inspired by this awesome au. his was the first design i figured out.

the second design i figured out was fenton’s! nd his is my favorite concept of all of them. he’s like, frankenstein’s monster, if frankenstein’s monster was half cyborg and also sort of dr. frankenstein too. also the cyborg parts are like the gizmoduck armor. it’s really fun. tache noire is a neat red pattern that appears across the eyes after death in some cases, because frankensteins monster. also don’t google it if you don’t want to see actual real dead people eyes.

okay so launchpad and drake- i assigned these two werewolf and vampire respectively way before i watched the darkwing duck episode monsters r us (which in case you havent seen, turns launchpad into a vampire and darkwing into a werewolf. and gosalyn into a frankenstein. it’s a really fun episode.) but as funny as launchbat and darkwolf dog are i’m stickin to my guns here. i just love werewolf launchpad too much and drake’s theatrics and Whole Entire DW Aesthetic are so very vampire imo

i think for this photoset that just leaves fethry, who is a mermaid, and his bottom half is a krill. this is what he was always meant to be

that’s pretty much all of the ones ive figured out. characters i still need to work on include violet, della, donald, gyro, and gosalyn. though i’ll probably wait til her debut in s3 for gos. thanks for reading! i love monster aus so goddamn much

ASOUE AU? ASOUE AU. Pt 1 (Characters)

Okay so I just posted a little doodle I did for an A Series of Unfortunate Events AU that I had been thinking about ever since I realized that Esmé was obviously Magica's VA (which was 3 days ago so oop). I don't have all the characters figured out right now (mostly bc quite frankly there aren't really enough adults that act so... neglectful towards the kids in ducktales). I'll list the ones I am pretty concrete on VS the ones I'm unsure or ones that I "reimagined" due to not everyone fitting perfectly in this world.

Characters that are Definite:

Glomgold as Count Olaf: Think about it, horrible actor/cosplayer (yes thats what he is). Both obsessed about riches, revenge and are generally incompetent. Really, Olaf is much more wicked in the ASOUE series imo (bc even tho Glomgold wants to kill Scrooge and steal his money. This anger only extends his wards if he wishes to use them against Scrooge and is less keen on the murdering of kids. Notice I said LESS). Not 100% if I want him to be as...well explicit as Olaf can be at times. Especially his characterization in the Bad Beginning if you know what I mean (pst it's child marriage)

Magicia DeSpell as Esmé Squalor: Like I said, this is a no brainer. She has the stage performance of Magicia with a bit of Mark Beaks Mom (forget her name) mixed in. Probably would downplay her love for fashion and replace it with an obsession with the occult. I would also not have her be obsessed with Glomgold, its more in character for Glomgold to be obsessed with her anyhow. It is also possible bc I tend to believe she is a more compelling villian in canon that she might take the place of Glomgold on the Island in "The End". But I also plan for Scrooges Number One Dime to replace the Sugar bowl so, maybe not.

Doofus Drake as Calmanita Splats: Duh, spoiled brat who is very creepy and probably has parents that want them dead? Instead of wanting to sing all the time he mainly wants to wreak things/people. He still definitely dresses up tho into a hodgepodge of things. It always changes and Glomgold is always annoyed by this but he likes him more than Magicia. She definitely wants him dead just like Olaf in the series (she really hates kids).

Duckworth as Larry your waiter: Yeah not much competition for this role. It was either him or Launchpad. Duckworth is too perfect for this role and he honestly will play a better spy than canon Larry. If I ever write it out a lot of the "fight scenes" and anime-esque "explaining how I fooled you" dialogue will definitely be reworked but still present. I will however not keep out the main theme of neglect or ignorance with the adults, they will still fail in that regard as always but will just not literally stand there and tell Olaf "We finally caught you, now let me explain why we are so smart oh no you set something on fire again". I mean...maybe for a Mr. Poe but not the VFD. Or...SHUSH I should say but more on that later (or in another post who knows?)

Scrooge McDuck as Lemony Snicket (sorta): Okay so OBVIOUSLY we can't have our "Lemony" have the hots for the McDuck siblings mom (yes another thing I must explain oh boy). Scrooge will still be gilted in love by, of course Goldie though I am still not 100% if she should play part of the the role of Kit Snicket (again NOT related to Scrooge) or should she be someone else entirely. Scrooge is basically the reason everything is happening in this AU just like the canon Lemony but writes sad letters to Donald and Della as well as Goldie. As you might of well guessed, Scrooge's Fortune is also the riches the McDuck's have.

Fethry Duck as Dr. Monty: Of course a snake lover will become a marine lover in this AU! Also of COURSE Mitzy will play the roles of the incredibly deadly viper AND the great unknown! Fethry and Dr. Monty not being mentioned by their family but also too enthralled with their studies to care all that much (but seriously thats fucked up ducktales). Totally made for this role. As far as setting goes this will be where the siblings will be underwater first but since the series already has plently of aquatic locals I will probably swap out the Lake Lacamose story with Peru or the Galapagos. Speaking of...

Ms. Quackfaster as Aunt Josephine: For narrative purposes it would make sense that Ms. Quackfaster would lose her edge as a brave and bold woman. For what exact reason I am still trying to figure out. Not sure if I still want to keep the "Ike" storyline, maybe she just got really spooked by FOWL. Maybe some creature from the Galapagos ate her leg or something.

Ma Beagle as Dr. Orwell: This particular role was sort of hard for me to cast due to the fact that Dr. Orwell is older and romantically involved with Olaf (at least its sorta there). I really didn't want to give this role to Owlson bc other than she isn't a bad person, she is also way too young. Ma Beagle already has a similar motivation im canon to want to reclaim Duckburg as Beagleburg so the Terrible Mills plot to frame the B for causing a fire in order to have control over the mill is very in line with Ma. I originally wanted the Beagle Boys be working in the Mill but since I am changing the setting to Egypt, I decided to use the people stuck in the pyrimid (idk what they are actually called) and will either use Amulet, Launchpad or Dijin as Cookie

Characters that are Mixed with others:

Huey Duck as the Narrative Role of Violet B.: I mostly imagined(?) the kid characters in a approximation of set characters from the books/series. For this reason, Huey plays the ROLE of Violet Baudelaire so that he can take the "inventor" occupation. I went back and forth on finding who would have Violet's quirk of using an object to help her think. My mind originally went to Webby since she has a bow and I wanted Huey's obsession with the Incomplete History of Secret Organizations to take the place of his JWG. However I reworked it so that Huey's JWG would act as Violet's ribbon with him having to flip through his beat up (and slightly burnt) journal to find a quick solution or just to calm his nerves. Something that applies to all the triplets and twins is that their last names are changed to "McDuck" mostly bc it sounds better that they are later called the "McDuck Murders" instead of the "Duck Murders" as well as Scrooges edited role in the kids lives. He has a mix of Klaus' social awkwardness and habit of talking at length about his special interests to whoever will listen. Huey is also the one who gets hypnotized in the Miserable Mill ep.

Louie Duck as the Narrative Role of Sunny B.: Pretty sure I swapped Louie and Webby for this role in my first post but whatever. I wanted to confusingly change Klaus' role into a "Charmer" or "smooth talker" (obviously still a work in progress) since I felt that Huey in DuckTales canon was always well researched as well a good mechanic and having two characters who pretty much fit the same role was... redundant. I also wanted to really make Webby's Sunny much more inline with her notorious/abnormal fighting abilities. However, I realized that instead of changing Klaus' role I should just change Sunny's characterization since I would have to rework it anyways since she was a baby. I also got the idea from recently rewatching the series and saw Sunny basically trick her way out of being trapped with the Hook handed man (i.e. Fernald). I will instead make Louie's role as what he functionally is in DuckTales (the guy who can talk his way out of anything). He would probably also say his occupation is "Defense Attorney" or something along those lines. He is also the one who gets captured the most but not by much. However while he still has Sunny's sarcasm, he also has Klaus' inherit skeptism and distrust of adults.

Webby Vanderquack as the Narrative Role of Klaus B.: Like I said in Louie's segment, Webby is changed to Klaus or more accurately the "Researcher" of the group. She is often the one who stays up late, researching ways to get out of Glomgold's schemes. Unlike Klaus though, she has more of the optimism of Violet but might not put as much belief into all authority as Huey might. She still has role models that she looks up to but isn't against bending the rules. She also unfortunately takes Violet's role of becoming "Olaf's bride" in the Bad Beginning. In the story she has always lived with the McDucks but didn't take their name and still had Mrs. B (until she was around 10, she was 12ish when the fire happened). However, she is still in the McDuck Will and therefore Glomgold hatches a plan to use her to get the fortune. She also tricks him by signing her name "Vanderduck" or "McDuck" instead of Vanderquack to make the marriage null in void. She is also a mix of Sunny since she is generally the most physically capable out of the children.

Dewey Duck as the Narrative Role as Quigley Quagmire: Okay honestly after a rewatch, I don't exactly know what makes Duncan and Quigley that different from each other. I'm pretty sure Duncan is the Klaus of his siblings but whatever. Dewey mostly just 1/2 of the reveal that two people survived the fire during the Carnival segment (which is changed to an underground wrestling theme for reasons to be explained). I am fairly certain that during the last part of the Village of Fowl Devotees I want Dewey be the one left behind with Webby and Lena that way we can have more time spent with him and Weblena/ Magicia v Lena drama. Dewey's occupation would be "Comedian/Host/Actor" . He also is the one the adults ignore during the first half and will be the subject of Triplet/only child jokes that the Quagmires face.

Gosalyn Mallard as the Narrative Role of Duncan Quagmire: Okay so like, no she isn't related or adopted by the Quagmires

Lena Saberwing as the Narrative Role of Isadora Quagmire: c'mon both these kids like poetry. Literally I can think of no other DuckTales kid that likes that (other than Webby but that was more of her liking Lena's stuff). She will still have her background as Magica's niece and might take some of the role of Fernald where he gets redeemed by betraying Olaf/saving Sunny. I am unsure by what extent though as she isn't going to be a henchperson of Glomgold or Magica. It might be that she is uses morally questionable ways to get what she wants/needs. Maybe she is "good" but has to commit a terrible act similar to how the Baudelaires have to burn down the carnival.

Characters that I am uncertain about or straight up don't have someone in that role:

Violet Saberwing as the Narrative Role of Fiona Widdershins: Like Fiona, Violet was also originally distrusted by a part of the cast (in this AU, it probably be Webby and/or Louie as Huey catches feelings lol). She is also obsessed with the occult not fungus and has to save probably Louie from losing his soul or something (wip). Violet more than any of the main cast of kids will probably act more like her canon self since she is naturally straight forward and booksmart. She probably gets forced to stay with Glomgold until her and Lena can escape again. Also since I didn't want it to be another underwater local and wanted it to relate to DuckTales17 a bit more closely I thought it be better if they were in the sky. Maybe Violet got the Sun chaser or maybe even the Spear of Selene. Maybe instead of going to look for their dads (since they are dead oof) they come back at The End to tell the McDuck Siblings et all that they might of found something...or someone important.

Boyd as the Narrative Role of Friday: This is definitely more of a stretch as really he is only Friday because in role only because I want him at the Island at The End so that he can save the siblings from whatever organic incident happens since he is still an android. I previously thought he could also fit the role of Fernald since he could go through a redemption arc easier due to him sorta going through one in the show. Its not out of the realm of possibility that Glomgold could have reprogrammed him to obey him (he might still do something similar I haven't figured it out 100%).

Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera as the narrative role of Hector: He probably won't faint as much as Hector but he will have to be pushed by the kids to be confident in himself during the Vile Village (which will probably change to a Capital city since I plan to rework FOWL into this). Maybe its similar to a military academy which makes having a set of rules make sense. Its also possible that Fenton escapes with some of the kids in the Sunchaser by the end of this.

Steelbeak as the Narrative Role of Fernald Widdershins: I mainly chose him because Steelbeak and Hookhanded man both most clearly are shown to be sympathic antagonists. They are still functionally villians, much more so than any of the children like Boyd or Lena who, yeah, have done bad things but in one case wasn't given the freewill to decide for himself or was but when she decided to stand up for herself she was literally tortured and had her freedom taken away (more so than in the beginning since. Steelbeak would, like Fernald, be making a choice as an adult man to be apart of a mad man's troop and was harden enough to commit murder if it meant he could impress his boss. But because he is not related to (by blood or otherwise) any protagonist I struggle to know where to put him. I might still have him defect during the end of what would have been the Grim Grotto ep and comes back with the Saberwings at The End. Maybe he brings Gosalyn back after finding her at some point, maybe he dies somewhere towards The End. Not sure.

Gladstone/Ghost of Christmas Past/News Reporter Lady as the Narrative Role of Mr. Poe/Mr. Poes Wife: wow this one is really confusing. My reasoning behind these picks is because The News lady would be a great pick for Mr. Poe's wife or at least a substitute as she has similar motivations in DT17. The biggest set back for her tho is that she has no reason to be on the Baudelaire case (or McDuck case anyways). Ghost of Christmas past is a bit of a stretch since why the fuck would he be in charge of making sure the kids had guardians? I mainly want him just bc of his motivation (or lack thereof) to do his job and being incompetent at it. Gladstone while making some sense that he also would be uncaring about where the kids go is also a stretch given he is a relative and he while he might not care 100% about their whereabouts he wouldn't lose them like Mr. Poe would simply bc he is so damn Lucky. Its possible to work that against him, maybe in a scenerios like where he drops off the kids but gets whisked away because some rando gifts him a boat. Still unsure.

Mrs. Beakley as either the Narrative Role of Jaclyn S (Mr. Poes Secretary/VFD spy)., Olivia C. (Librarian): I want Mrs. B to have a role which fits her being experienced and competent but also met a tragic demise. I might mix the experience of JS with the fate of OC. Poor Webby.

Justice Strauss as ???: I'll be honest, I am stumped with this one. This is a very important role to fill and I can't quite find an adult character that fits the bill of Justice Strauss. Mrs. B is too smart, Launchpad studying law while ridiculous, is something inline with the show but he doesn't have a DT17 motivation similar enough to Strauss where he's desires can be exploited nor has he really want kids in the same sense as Strauss. Drake Mallard is close since he is an actor but having him work with law is a bit of a stretch, I also think that making him somewhat bumbling is an insult to his character but Strauss is tragic since she WANTS to very much be the Baudelaires guardian but fails so much. Maybe in a safer world she could have been, maybe if they were luckier. She loves them so much, but they run away where she can't find them to at least try to be there for them and is left heart broken by the end. Whoever becomes JS is in for a world of hurt and I'm sorry. Goofy could also be a replacement, maybe Max died for more angst 😬.

Goldie or Daisy as the narrative role of Kit Snicket: This kinda gets really fanfic-y as neither of these characters really fit nicely into this role. Goldie definitely has the skill of Kit and her disregard for the rules but the pregnancy thing is... something. Not entirely sure if I actually want her to be pregnant but I also want a Beatrice II type character (of course she would be named Della II) but again very fanfic-y. Daisy I am more comfortable being the one who gets pregnant, she might take Olivias role as the new VFD recruit instead of Kits more seasoned one. All I know is that if either or both outcomes exist they will die also a Dewey Deanumont(?) Character wouldn't be the father it would of course be Donald or Scrooge depending who gets pregnant.

Jacques Snicket as ???: Another mystery for me. Functionally? Maybe Manny could play this role or even Launchpad (he really is just my go to for any character idk about huh?) Whoever it is will die but wont have a romance with the Olivia character(s). Maybe its Goofy lmao.

This is quite long enough, let me know if y'all got any more ideas. I'll edit this when I can since I am tired of writing. Please comment or reblog for suggestions and the like thx u. And please...Look Away while you still can.

Season 3 DT17 Thoughts

Okay, this might sound a little bit like I’m expecting too much from DT17, but I do gotta confirm that we are on season 3, and the quality of the show should go up, or at least stay stagnant, and not go down. Sometimes you get some bad apples, and that’s fine, but for me, the last three episodes so far have been just a slog to sit through. I’m gonna try to not harp on every little detail, but just the major stuff.

I’d say the first episode is pretty much fine and harmless, but that’s because in hindsight it’s not really an important episode. Not every season has to start with a bang, but given what we were left with at the end of season 2, it’s... pretty uneventful? Nice competition between Violet and Huey, but I’m not sure if that will really expand their friendship later on in the season. The B plot was alright, but also bland? Like, it did help connect it to the A plot by the end but it seems to have more of an impact going on with the later episodes about the family dynamic and normalcy.

Second episode! While I like Quack Pack (the series, not the episode), it kinda felt pretty odd to call it that but actually have nothing to do with series outside of the name as a reference. Sure, half of the OG DT cast was gone in the original show, but it kinda feels weird to tack them onto something a little more zanier and into a family that felt weird. Sure, it was pretty nice with the dysfunctional family sitcom mystery, but by the time it’s revealed it’s just... not handled properly? Donald wanting a normal life is all fine and good, but the moral of the story is pretty bad or at least the explanation of it. If Donald doesn’t want his family’s lifestyle, just let him leave. No one should have to be a lightning rod of pain, and he’s old enough and well, the boys have Della to fill in for his role now. That would have been a perfect episode to let him take some time off from them for now to go his own way. Gene was kind of good but he doesn’t really work unless you have established knowledge of him from the old continuity, and FOWL should have been more interested in him than the treasures Finch never found (imo). It would have made for something more interesting or at least common sense. And Goofy being there along with Gene’s magic having weird properties or him even knowing Goofy from the 1990′s in the DT17 timeline adds some holes and issues to the continuity.

Third episode? Launchpad has been resigned to his fate of forever being a himbo, and isn’t allowed to evolve. Dewey isn’t either. Black Heron was on point for the episode and Steelbeak... Look, I’m not his biggest fan, but I don’t hate him either. I respect those that do love him, but he’s just... slower than normal. I can’t say that Steelbeak has too much going for him in the OG DWD (I mean, he’s a goon leader with moxy, quips, and all of that equipped with a one note gimmick. Yes, I realize that some characters like Negaduck can be the same but... Negaduck has more variety with him considering his traits while Steelbeak’s pretty limited with what he can do. He can get interesting, but you have to change him up like Taurus Bulba or else he’s like the Rupert Thorne of DWD, some goon boss that barely has much going for him but those very shiny dentures.), at least it was better than this episode. And when the B plot is more entertaining than some “supposedly cool” spy plot, that’s a bit bad. Also #JusticeforRescueRangers, because that was terrible. They literally became mutants and just left until Launchpad needed the save. 

By this point, I’m just really along for the ride to see how this spirals down. Like maybe I’m going into this too much, but it just feels too contrived or just lazily excused what happens for most of the season, and the genuine moments either got bad messages or just bad ways on how to get to that. I’m just hanging from the edge for that glimmer of hope stuff will change, but that abyss is looking pretty large.

[dellumbra]

ok going the obvious route but ducktales (2017) | dellumbra | penumbra

Favorite character: penumbra... i care her

Least Favorite character: OOH hard queston... jim starling, probably

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): dellumbra, drakepad, whatever the ship between donald/panchito/jose is called, dorkules and scromgold

Character I find most attractive: penny 😳

Character I would marry: ..... selene

Character I would be best friends with: DELLA

a random thought: id rly like, like.... explicit representation for mental illness and stuff. a LOT of characters are autistic/adhd coded and lena/della clearly have ptsd and like. as someone w Mento Illness itd mean a lot to see that stuff. like. explicitly stated, ig?

An unpopular opinion: beakley is one of the main characters and deserved a figuring. does that count as unpopular

My Canon OTP: ..... fendra

My Non-canon OTP: dellumbra

Most Badass Character: OOH, THATS HARD..... tough choice between donald, della, penumbra and drake

Most Epic Villain: magica was SUCH a good villain, especially as like.... the initial Main Villain. it set a great standard to expect of future seasons

Pairing I am not a fan of: penpad

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): can i say ma beagle? i wanna say ma beagle. they handle stuff like lenas abuse rly well but then for ma beagle it feels like her treating the beagle boys badly is the punchline. do not like

Favourite Friendship: dewey and webby

Character I most identify with: dewey

Character I wish I could be: gosalyn

002 | Send me a ship and I will tell you:

When I started shipping them: hmm.... probably like right after what ever happened to della duck came out!!

My thoughts: I THINK ITS SO GOOD AND IM SO SO EXCITED TO SEE HOW IT PANS OUT IN SEASON 3 NOW THAT THEYRE BOTH ON EARTH TOGETHER.....

What makes me happy about them: two female characters who have an interesting dynamic and character arcs where their relationship is not only important, but NECESSARY.... im also a sucker for enemies to friends to lovers

What makes me sad about them: penny HAAAATED della at first.... i rewatched the golden spear recently and like. wow she rly does try to kill della like five times huh

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: like... idk i feel like penumbra is infantilized, somehow? ppl tend to portray her as a love more naive than she actually is, imo

Things I look for in fanfic: it existing at all

My wishlist: della confesses her love on the rooftop while they watch the sun rise. they share a kiss with their silhouettes illuminated. when they get married, they both wear suits. launchpad was a poor but effective wingman. slow burn enemies to friends to best friends to mutual pining to lovers

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: della with selene, penumbra... also with selene.

My happily ever after for them: things finally settle down as much as they can for the duck family. they get married and grow old together and h*ld h*nds

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you:

How I feel about this character: I ADORE PENNY SO MUCH...

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: della and della and also sort of selene but mostly della

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: her dynamic with donald was SOOO funny in what ever happened to donald duck... i also cant wait to see her relationship with webby

My unpopular opinion about this character: “bother her with my presence and love until she begrudgingly cares about me back” will, in fact, only work for della. other characters will have to go about getting pennys approval in different ways.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: DELLUMBRA CANON.... PLEASE.......

Favorite friendship for this character: like i said, her and donald and her and webby both have a LOT of potential. i also hope that she and launchpad become sort-of-friends.

My crossover ship: penumbra and undyne........
