obsessed w this goof from discord

[panicwithryan]

me when someone puts the apostrophe in dark’ness: yeah okay we can get married now

[cartoonemotion]

you ever think about how darkwing has the fearsome four, and a rogues gallery beyond that ? whys gizmoduck only get the beagle boys and beaks (and atmoz fear i guess) ? i think every superhero needs a bit of proper enrichment, and despite st canard’s reputation duckburg’s definitely not short on weirdos

so i made some gizmorogues ! we’ve got jewel-swiping wannabe crime legend diamentia, with her comedic relief prone henchman honks; creepy crawly and vaguely supernatural menace botfly; sympathetic but still formidable automaton lugnut; and last but definitely not least cold and calculating evil scientist dr. anthrax !

ive had them kind of stewing around in my mind for a while now so im glad to finally be posting them !! thanks to the conclusion of the show i can just pretend they were real and canon the whole time

I feel like I might be a bit irritating asking dumb questions all the time but which gizmorouge would fenton take to McDonald's

not irritating at all ! so while lugnut is objectively kind of the chillest rogue and probably the one who gets along with fenton the most/easier he cant really eat food (or at least, he doesnt get anything out of it), so i think that leaves the automatic second place of honks (and thus diamentia, since one is never far behind the other)

i think its a kind of "last request before getting carted off" sort of thing which fenton obliges to because really ? thats youre last request ? thats kind of sad. ok .

hi I wish u luck with house cleaning it's me again 💖 the lugnut ask that you answered got me thinking about what the gizmorouges think of giz?

anthrax

originally interested in scooping fenton out of the gizmosuit to harves this organs or do fucked up experiments on him or something, fenton's meddled/destroyed his precious research often enough that now whenever he sees him he just straight goes into murder mode. like no monologuing no typical supervillain back and forth or anything, he just wants to literally kill him dead. plus he thinks the fact that he needs to use a robot suit to accomplish anything is super cringe but thats second to again, the intense murderous rage that overtakes him every time fenton's within seeing distance

clarice

kind of has a crush on giz, but in a very much like, "lesbian but doesn't realize that about herself yet, latching up to the most unattainable man in the vicinity so she never has to think about it for more than 2 seconds" way. like "i wanna rip this guy limb from limb thats gotta be close enough to what being in love is like right. Done". outside of that she thinks hes a total narc and a chump and its super pathetic and NOT secretly kind of sweet the way he thinks he can help everyone including her at all its actually so stupid. and cringe. shes also tbh on drake levels of not understanding that fenton is gizmoduck

honks

thinks giz is pretty cool actually and a nice enough guy. like all the fighting and smacking him in the head with a crowbar isn't anything personal like it's just business. he does his superhero thing and she does the grunt thing and thats just how it goes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ whaddya gonna do. she does know fenton's secret identity she just likes to keep him guessing n sweating as to whether or not she actually figured him out bc she thinks its funny

lugnut

as previously mentioned, lugnut also has a little crush on giz (not that hes any good at like, registering and identifying his own emotions most of the time). he views him as a worthy adversary and respects/admires giz's adherence and dedication to what he sees as gizmoduck's own "prime directive" which is protecting duckburg and its populace. on the flip side he cant really understand why gizmoduck wants to stand in the way of lugnut uncovering his own lost directives thus restoring him to full functional order so he feels kind of betrayed on that level (plus again his memory is kind of wonky, so sometimes the last memory he has of giz is him trying to help him and sometimes its of the two of them duking out). probably the most likely and easiest in a "hero-villain team up of necessity" situation !

also memory problems and some serious face blindness kind of makes it hard for him to figure out and then "get" the whole secret identity thing but basically every time he sees fenton out of the suit its like this

[cartoonemotion]

the gizmorouges are so cool plz bless us with some random facts about them 🤲

gladly !!

honks + clarice

honks wanted to get into cosmology/astrophysics but ended up burning out super hard and fast, then kind of shifted to doing gigs around st canard as a bass guitarist (and then eventually also crime). clarice was in the cosmetology business but it wasnt going where she wanted fast enough. they met in prison and decided to move in together when they got out and the rest has kind of been history. and they also both take care of a pet snake named udon ! :vD

also if i think shelby rabara would make a great voice claim for clarice its for normal reasons <3

botfly

was a psych major (crowd boos) before going (yknow. fully) down the path of Eeevil... they have an ex out there who is convinced this is some sort of weird possession thing and is determined to stop at nothing to get them un-possessed. they dont really have a lot of hobbies outside of eating people's brain juices, but they do like gardening ! and listening to whatever the duckverse equivalent of ABBA is. their voice has a kind of cool two-tone kind of thing goin on when they talk !

anthrax

bit of a technophobe, which is a really fun irony with the consideration that hes a gizmoduck villain specifically. hes like 60 and definitely uses those orthopedic inserts for his shoes (im allowed to make fun of him for this bc i also use them). he controls his mutants with this weird chemical pheromone. thing. he whipped up, so usually the further away from him they are the more they tend to act normal (or yknow, scared/lost/confused). i know keith david already is in ducktales canonically as manny but........ its just who he sounds like in my head. i cant help that mr david has such a distinct voice ok

lugnut

breathing fire. a three-point-articulated crocodile death roll. crushing bite force of over 16,400 newtons at least. this guy can do it all, so its a good thing that unlike the rest of the rogues he prefers to face off what he considers an actual worthy opponent, and really hates to target people who are pretty much defenseless. despite his slow-going acceptance that he is in fact a fully sentient and sapient being, and not just a big hunk of metal that goes places and does whatever, he has picked up exactly 1 (one) hobby, and likes to paint and draw ! he also has rats, by the names of bolt, socket, axle, and wrench ! also speaking of notable voices, i will admit that michael dorn's performance of coldstone (from gargoyles) did kind of influence a lot of my choices for him, and also to a lesser but still not negligible amount, his performance of course of worf, from star trek tng + ds9

[cartoonemotion]

hello dr couch please talk about lugnut on main

OF COURSE. we love lugnut. everybody love lugnut (this is a command it's not optional)

very bummed out when he eventually figures out that giz is not also a robot, and is in fact just a guy in a suit (doesn't stop him from still having his bizarre little supervillain crush on him. he's a worthy adversary you know how it is !!!!!)

that said he's not like. intimidated by giz perse (he Respects him. as a FriendFoe.) but you know who he is intimidated by ? a little boy and said little boy's father who is like 90 pounds soaking wet. listen he doesn't really "get" How and Why children and he found out the hard way why people use phrases like "mama/papa bear". just because he's a villain doesn't mean he can't get robot rsd

genuine friends with diamentia and honks of all people. they are confusing and diamentia is bossy but like in a very casual way that tends to put him at ease a little ? like. it's funny. it's kind of funny to him. like he's in on the joke with the two of them kind of. plus they do care about him ! you take friends where you can get in this Biz

pseudo-friends with botfly ? like he can sort of relate to their insistence that they operate on instinct and it's just in their nature to frighten people and then munch on their brains and like yes he supposes you have to do what you have to do. but they are annoying. that's worse honestly than the attacking people and eating their brain juices thinghas little tricks to cope with his terrible memory (not that he has a terrible memory he is so functional please believe him) but it kind of like. comes down to filing everybody he meets into blunt categories and most importantly register how much of a threat they are to him on a general basis. because everybody can at any point become a threat.

needs some therapy (once somebody can finally figure out someway to convince him that he is in fact a person)

basically in conclusion,
