MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!! Here's a drawing of Negaverse to make you happy! Until the next post! ^^

Friendly Four: We barely beat Negaduck WITH our powers, HOW were you managed to do that WITHOUT them?

Fearsome Four: We made him cry.

Friendly Four:

Fearsome Four:

Negaduck:

Darkwing:

(I thought abour Fearsome boys meeting their Negaverse selves and then the Jail Bird ep poped in my head and now hear me out- Imagine this in your head and tell me it does not sound hilarious)

My version of NegaMegavolt. He looks a touch younger than I intended, but I still love him.

Since the incident where he got his powers, NegaMegavolt hasn't mentally aged much, because of his memory issues. He's more uncertain than his counterpart, and he's constantly second guessing himself. Despite this, the rest of the Friendly Four see him as their leader, just because he knows Negaduck best.

[thefriendlyfour]

So, I got a question about your versions of the friendly four. Do you think any of the negaverse villains have tried to take advantage of Megavolts poor memory and occasionally memory lost; like, a villain finds him before his bfs do and manages to convince that he is on Negaducks (or just the villain in question) side. How would the rest of the Friendly Four respond to that situation?

Also your oc Dominic is very cool, I like him a lot!

It's possible! But only the the extent of cartoon humor like efforts of course lol I'm sure Nega Megs could figure it out on his own given enough time and a "jolt" of memory. His memory issues don't equate to stupidity after all, and he's got a good heart.

And thank you!

Negaduck ☁️

Send ☁️ for a childhood memory!

In most universes it would be surprising to see a kid dressed like this, but in the Negaverse it was the norm. Drake was ten and well on his way to building his criminal record up. This would be his first attempt at orginizing a gang though. He straightened up his red mohawk before twirling out his favorite knife. He sat on the stack of boxes. His first recruit was a guy named Elmo. He fancied himself some sorta mad scientist in the making. Could be useful to him if his little invention actually worked. "So what's this thing do exactly?" He asked examining the disk that looked like a Roomba.

"A Remote mine? So this thing can just move up to the bank and explode on it's own? Oooo!" He grinned, they were going to hit the big leagues with this baby!

did you know that negaduck from darkwing duck was based off reverse-flash? yeah, that doesnt even BEGIN to describe what's actually been going on between their character histories..

first, negaduck wasnt just inspired by or a reverse-flash parody. he's a literal copy-paste of silver age thawne with a very few changes of origin place from future to parallel universe and identity from some random future guy to main hero's evil twin, because originally eobard was fixated on being a Criminal and not particularly flash's nemesis. back in the day, thawne constantly mentions how much he loves his criminal life. half of his lines are negaduck-worthy purely because the rest is related to being a speedster scientist. my personal favorite as an example:

he passes the speed limit law in central city so that barry couldnt use superspeed without breaking it but thawne still could because he is 'a hardened criminal'. he invents rays that turn everything inflicted evil (something even negaduck has never done (ig solely because megavolt's already done it in the negaduck episode where he accidentally splits darkwing into good dw (posiduck) and bad dw(negaduck, with a black and gray color scheme), and while yellow negaduck is a different character this is basically how the idea of him was born and the writers just decided to keep him in a different form bc the gray one merged back into normal dw at the end which is super funny. imagine coming up with a duck villain and going 'oh this guy actually reminds me a lot of reverse-flash with all that opposite/negative thing. LET'S PAINT HIM IN THOSE COLORS AND GIVE HIM THE SAME PERSONALITY AND SIMILAR ORIGIN THIS TIME'), altho he DOES test the power gem on a cat in jail bird like thawne did with evil rays). he repeatedly tries to get poor former dr alchemy back to crime just because 'crime fun. why cant you see that. im doing it for your own good' and negaduck tried something like that with morgana in feb 14th episode my valentine ghoul (+that brief scene with gos from 2016 comics run where he believes she must be bad deep down inside out of comparsion to nega!gosalyn). negaduck also travels from a whole other world just to fuck around here for fun (there was this bronze age flash issue called flashback where thawne gets lost in the timestream because barry pushed the wrong buttons in his time capsule which is almost exact negaduck's fate in life, the negaverse and everything) and one of another few differences related is that negaduck is shown to be a dictator of his universe's St. Canard who is bored to live somewhere he already has all the power so he travels to another universe to cause problems on purpose.

second. dc's new52. eobard is rewritten again, now he and zoom are kind of one character. but guess what else is new in this version that never happend neither in zoom or professor zoom's lives? thawne is a fucking dictator in his own time. and people tried to fight his rule in flash's name just like friendly four needed darkwing as inspiration to finally fight back for their world.

he gets his own team, acolytes of zoom (i wish i could call them local fearsome 4 but there are 5 of them, making it more of a sinister 6 if you count thawne) which he trains for centuries to fight the flash and betrays later by trying to steal their powers just like negaduck stole f4's in jail bird to become mega-negaduck and if all that wasnt enough, without the mask he straight up looks like negaduck humanization. look at him. this mf is only missing a hat and a cape.

also these sudden black parts in his new speedster suit design? either it is some absolute fucking bonkers of a coincidence or someone on the flash writing team really went 'hey guys you know what would be real funny? lets base new thawne off negaduck. like he was originally based off thawne. i swear no one will notice' and everyone went with that. (i could also mention he has the same dumb motivation for being evil (having shitty childhood/being deep down sad about mistreatment and loneliness) as 2011 dwd comics run negaduck but imo that's too far of a stretch to actually be included)

third. yall know the deal of the first season of cw's the flash? yeah, what if i told you the whole thawne messes with the particle accelerator and causes barry to gain superspeed thing already fucking happend in darkwing duck, episode going nowhere fast?

(the way i lost my mind over this back in the day when i decided to watch dwd just because negaduck reminded me of thawne(i didnt even know he was a direct rip-off, i just went 'oh wait dt universe has this evil fuck that wears the same color scheme as reverse-flash? girl i AM checking the whole thing out just to see if he's anything like thawne'.) and first watched the episode... priceless, still haunts me to this very day. how the hell was that written in 1991. did cw writers just take the idea from dwd too. honestly i cant be sure about anything anymore).

and remember in the duck knight returns (2011 comics run arc) flashbacks there was a super funny thing with negaduck not knowing dw's secret identity and being so proud he cracked the case? remember cw!og!thawne looking for flash's time period and not knowing his identity in 2nd season cameo episode? what the hell was even up with that!!! like guys. guys one of you is the most devoted flash fan from the future and there is NO way none of that kind of information was left a CENTURY after (i mean come on dude couldntve you just asked gideon. she literally had that 2024 newspaper about vanishing and thats at the very least not mentioning she was created by barry) and another is straight up the same fucking person as the hero with the same fucking relatives and enemies. idk take a wild guess??? ((i really wonder if anybody on the wirting team of 2011 dwd run saw not just life, the negaverse and everything but any episode featuring negaduck at all. not only do they ignore the existence of nega!gos in the 'oh he mean bc alone :(' approach, they ignore the very definition of negaduck's character which is literally evil drake mallard. i mean sure hes dumb and may miss obvious clues because of being the same dw just evil but come on, such a comedic situation and never addressed by drake whos literally been in the negaverse and knows they are the same person or by anyone else he coluldve told that? oh well unless drake is also dumb af and thought there never was any drake mallard in the negaverse in the first place and that negaduck is some other guy. which is a real probability i suppose))

also. negaduck's death by being split on billions of evil particles in crisis on infinite darkwings and thawne, being 'exorcised' from nash's body in a form of a negative speed force stream with sparks in 6x15 of cw's the flash.

fourth! yall did watch ducktales 2017 reboot, right? specifically the duck knight returns episode? they introduce a whole new version of negaduck there! and guess what. jim starling, an old darkwing duck (in-universe 90s tv series) actor obsessed with his role, goes fucking nuts because there is a new darkwing duck actor in a new movie and he didnt even know. because he feels forgotten. because no one remembers neither him nor original series (objectievely not true bc obviously launchpad and drake but to jim they just dont count bc reasons. he seems to count only children but calls lp his fan when anthagonizes drake for taking even that from him in the end). because he was replaced and no one even bothered to tell him. he causes a fire on the set, almost kills drake but does have a change of heart at the end after launchpad's speech about what darkwing duck stands for and seemingly sacrifices himself to save drake and lp from the explosion. then they have the worst idea they could have in relation to jim's character ever: for drake to be a real life darkwing duck to honor jim's sacrifice. so naturally he hears that from the sewers or wherever he was hiding to see their reactions(look i am. 100% sure that this is what happened bc that makes so much more sense than jim getting brain damage or whatever from that explosion and waking up to choose violence again for no other reason). he gets hit with the being replacable and forgotten thing once again and renders back to negaduck tendencies, for all we know for good this time as his darkwing suit changes to the yellow-red one. yk who else went on a rampage because he felt forgotten and replaced? you guessed it! the return of barry allen, a 90s classic where thawne goes to 21st century for the first time, thinks he's barry (original-ish flash) because dissociation from trauma of seeing himself being killed by his hero and acts exactly like starling, having the same issues as motivation aka him/barry being forgotten and replaced by wally. he implies wally taking on the flash mantle is most disrespectful to barry. he rants about how he's the only flash and threatens to destroy not only the flash family but the whole central city for forgetting that. he and wally have a conflict of legacy similar to jim and drake's conflict in dt17. he is The starling blueprint only a lot more mentally ill. also we've heard something like the duck knight returns in running scared (this one is less reminiscent of jim but still features some things that werent in the return of barry allen). it's a rebirth arc that introduces another new origin of reverse-flash. now, he's been hyperfixated on barry allen his whole life (on a whole new level i mean) and there was the first meeting in 25th century where they Connected like thawne always believed they would. that day ended up in a fight and thawne's imprisonment because he set up casualties to get attention and praise for being the flash of 25th century but unlike all other versions this thawne has a change of heart after the fight, too. he promises to 'fix everything' including himself, he even goes to therapy afterwards. then he goes to the 21st century to tell barry how much he accomplished since they last met and then sees barry saying to wally one meaningful phrase he said to thawne that perfect day. like it wasnt something special only barry and eobard shared. like the day they met never happened. like he forgot thawne ever existed. like he was replaced as barry's speedster partner/friend/whatever he thought they were after that day by wally. and that shatters thawne so much he runs back to 25th and just decides to become the reverse-flash and make barry suffer until he gives him attention and recognition he deserved. frank angones, i am inside your walls. you CANT deny you based your versions of dw and nd off flash comics and thawne particularly. and more, you legit made reverse!eobarry au and put it in dt in duck forms. i have been losing my mind about it for 3 years now. i am exposing you and there is nothing you can do to escape that.

fifth(ish). yeah, and btw about friendly four from life, the negaverse and everything. did you think they actually escaped being mirrored in the flash? ha. i present to you reverse-rogues from the 25th century aka the renegades, carefully created by zoom and thawne himself, thinking it would somehow be funny.

cant believe hunter once saw it on tv put 2 and 2 together and went 'eobard my dude we need to go full negaverse with the 25th century. we need a friendly four to your negaduck. i swear it'll be Hilarious'. god the only thing they lack at this point is nega!gosalyn (i mean. hunter actually did try something like that with inertia, saving him from the museum and trying to teach him how to torture flashfam into improving them but thad was more of a nega!honker and reverted hunter to crippled powerless state just because. love that kid)

and that's all i have so far, if anyone here also into both yellow-red mfs with no life feel free to comment or even add more because there sure is or at least will be more and no one has the power to stop it.

[supersecretnerd]

I am a novice in Darkwing Duck lore but oooo do I want to make and develop the friendly four versions of the main villains so bad-

Like a egotistical superhero ending up adopting a kid and finding love a sidekick? Amazing, awesome, I love that.

But FOUR misfit superheros finding each other and sticking together, even when everything is going against them, and adopting TWO kids?! Even more amazing, lovely, I adore that, I want more of that.

Anyways take a sketch of Friendly Four Quacker Jack- and some small ideas + brainstorming I have for now

So basically for them, I wanna do the same approach they did with Negaduck; same personality traits, flaws and all, just different scenarios.

Nega Megavolt and Nega Liquidator are easy enough to make heroic; both have a reason to be against Negaduck (don't want to make Nega Liquidator want to poison his competitors tho -even with me going with a corrupt business forced to turn good in harsh situations- probably will be Nega Liquidator trying to stop Negaduck from messing with his products and ends up getting murdered) (Nega Megavolt I can just change Negaduck into being his bully instead of Friend, and the cause of his powers). Also Megavolt already has heroic actions towards his electronics, so that helps (Negavolt still views electronics stuff as sentient, just doesn't think of them as enslaved; maybe he views them as workers or something)

Now for Nega Quackerjack I'm thinking that the Wiffle Boy company still took down his company and drove him to villainy for a bit- but when Negaduck's raise began (and toy bans) Quackerjack turn heroic to stop him; maybe Negaduck even tried to make him serve him while he was still a villain, but that went very very poorly (maybe he somehow met Gosalyn that way, dunno yet). He still holds his grudges against Wiffle Boy, but isn't going to go into a violent rampage over someone playing the game (probably just get judgy about it, unless it's his kids then he'll just try to show him how much better his toys are and eventually one of the other of the four just gotta drag him away and let him mope)

Now for Nega Bushroot, Rhonda was the one who was cruel to him and Gary and Larson were chill. He still wanted to solve world hunger but got rejected still (dunno if it's cause of Negaduck involvement this time or just of the funders greed). That's all I got backstory wise. Thinking of either having him have a lower murder count (or zero murder) or having him murder someone before joining the Friendly Four and it just absolutely worsening into his low self esteem (maybe the guilt is what pushes him towards good and makes him want to stop Negaduck). However I don't want Rhonda dead cause I think she'd be a cool lil villain, so I don't know.

Oh I also got some ideas for Nega Gosalyn's character and Negaduck's relationship with her. So basically Negaduck, as we know, is highly egotistical and craves power and violence. So, in his eyes caring for someone is a sign of weakness; he absolutely refuses to do anything you're supposed to do with a kid (tuck them in, comfort them when scared, be emotionally available for them, etc.) cause it embarrasses him and makes him feel weak. So instead, he just gives Gosalyn all the toys confiscated and lets her live there, thinking that's enough (spoiler alert, it's not enough and leads to Gosalyn feeling both unsafe and unloved). Also, Negaduck being a tyrant and seeing all the havoc he and Nega Launchpad has caused for the town (some frist hand experiences) reaaaally doesn't help her feel any safer.

Nega Gosalyn's well mannered personality is a direct result of these feelings of unsafeness. She still has her spirit (and mischievous nature) and wants to do good, but she's also very scared if she acts out she'll hurt or killed (Negaduck wouldn't actually physically hurt her, but he does verbally threaten to do so when she messes up; yeeeah he should have never gotten a child). So she tries to help the side of good from a safe distance where Negaduck and Launchpad don't notice. Over the time she's adopted by The Friendly Four, her mischievous personality starts to slowly come back.

The Friendly Four is a poly couple.

I think it would be insanely funny if one day, after Nega Gosalyn (and everyone else in the town for that matter) gets readjusted to daily life and schools being open, that her class gets a new student and she turns her head only to see Nega Honker at the door. And they both just stare at each other like

Naturally they do not get along (their poor teacher, first had to deal with teaching a bunch of behind students who most definitely are still traumatized from Negaduck's rule, and now she gotta keep Nega Gosalyn and Nega Honker from beating each other to a pulp) (Nega Gosalyn would totally throw hands for her close friend and now brother Tank) (Nega Tank is older so he's in a higher grade)

It's like 1am, this post might be a jamble of a mess but I'm sleepy so I'm leaving it as is. If you actually read this far, thank you and I hope you like my lil ideas!

Duckvember Day 2: Yucky Duck

Wheee this is an idea I’ve had in my head for a while with one of my OC’s verses Liquidator. Working title was ‘Blood Thicker than Water.’ Wheeee. 

—--------------------------

“Oh thank goodness you’re here!” Bushroot rushed up to Liquidator as soon as he came through the door of the current Fearsome Five hideout, “Negaduck has been having me keep watch on some creepy witch he captured. I’ve had to watch her all day because Quackerjack and Megavolt couldn’t.”

“Why couldn’t they?” Liquidator was already suspicious of this whole situation, “and which witch?”

“I don’t know, one I haven’t seen before. Blonde. The most terrifying smile! She is some kind of monster!” the plant duck replied as he motioned to lead Liquidator to the room the captive was in, “d-don’t worry about why the others couldn’t be near her. It’s something that won’t affect you or me.”

“Alright….,” Liquidator gave a skeptical tone in that single word. He peered into the room Bushroot had led to him. Inside was some old cage Negaduck had lying around. Inside the cage was a blonde duck. She was wearing a blue dress with red trim. The style could be described as a ballroom dress. The sleeves of the dress were puffy along with the skirt. Both Bushroot and Liquidator were taller than her. 

The supposed witch did not seem stressed out about being in a cage. She was sitting on the floor with the fabric of her skirt making a wide circle around her. When she noticed Liquidator she gave him a smile and wave. She then winced like something had pricked her hand. The duck quickly put the injured finger in her bill. Liquidator leaned away from the doorway to be out of her sight before addressing Bushroot.

“There has been a bit of false advertising from you about her. She is not any way how you described her. Why would Negaduck kidnap some woman in a bridesmaid dress?” the water dog questioned the plant duck. 

“I-i- don’t know! She was in some kind of fight with Negaduck and he captured her. But- but that cage doesn’t stop any magic if she is really a witch! An-And what if- what if he didn’t defeat her in whatever fight they had. What if she pretended to have him win just to be brought here to do something!” Bushroot replied all worked up. Some considered him the most cowardly of the Fearsome Five, but this paranoia was even a lot for him. 

“Okay……,” Liquidator gave another short reply.

“Can you watch her now?  I need a break. And she says so many weird things. I can’t take it any longer,” Bushroot confessed as he already turned to walk down the hall, “I’ll be back . I j-just need some fresh air!”

“Well, this is interesting,” Liquidator said to himself before he entered the room with the caged woman. 

“Hello!” the blonde duck stayed where she was sitting, “You must be Liquidator?”

“That is correct! The one and only! And who are you? I’m curious as to why our glorious leader captured you,” Liquidator’s tone on ‘glorious’ had some disdain. While Negaduck did come up with some good plans for the team, they didn’t always get along with the brash negaverser.

“My name is Faustina,” she said as she stood up. She held her hand through the bars for a handshake. Since the water bodied criminal did not have any reason to fear her, he obliged, “Oh, that felt a little weird. Neat though! I don’t know why Nega-banana has me captured. Maybe I asked too many questions.”

“Uh huh… and are you a witch?” He asked the most important question.

“Oh yes, definitely,” she replied with dripping sarcasm, “Negaduck believes I'm a mountain biking vampire witch from the future.”

“Right… well I’m keeping an eye on you until Negaduck gets back,” Liquidator stated as he went to sit down on a nearby chair that faced the cage. The keys to the cage sat on an end table beside the chair. 

“How does that work?” Faustina questioned as she had both hands at face level holding on to bars of the cage. 

“How does what work?”

“Your eyes. You’re all water. How do you see?” the cage witch questioned again.

“I just do! It isn’t your business. Your business is with Negaduck,” Liquidator replied, rather annoyed.

“So it hurt then,” Faustina said rather ominously.

“Bushroot saying you say weird things and Negaduck being annoyed by you asking too many questions does check out,” was Liquidator’s response. He wondered how soon Bushroot would be back.

“It hurt when you became what you are. Right? I’m no scientist but I would think like fleshy cells becoming water wouldn’t be the best feeling. The plant guy probably had it easier. Because the cells still change to something solid just green for him,” Faustina rambled on, “would be kind of horrifying to just like - melt before becoming water.  Or feel like you’re drowning and then be relieved when the drowning feeling stopped only to find out you are now the water that was drowning you. Wild.” 

“Maybe if you don’t shut your beak or you’ll know how it feels to drown,” the water dog stood from his chair to be more threatening to the captive. She showed no change in emotion. If anything, the smile on her bill became wider. 

“Ah, so it does touch a nerve. Do you even have nerves, like do you feel?” she had no intent of stopping her questions. Faustina was not threatened by Liquidator at all. Instead, she kept egging him on, “Since your brain isn’t physically here anymore, how do you retain memories? Do you have memories before you were like this?”

“I’m sure I can find something to tie up your bill around here so you’ll be quiet,” Liquidator threatened as he gave a look around the room. He would even use one of Negaduck’s spare masks if he could find one. Faustina just giggled.

“When there isn’t an actual body, can a soul stay attached to just water?” her voice was lower when she spoke more, “Since I have resurrected people without a body, I wonder if I can just form your body around your watery form…”

“I thought you said you weren’t a witch?” Liquidator spoke as he still looked for something to gag the talkative duck with. He started searching the seat cushions. 

“No. I said I am definitely a witch,” she grinned wider. The smile line was coming past the normal corners of her bill mouth. Something was clearly off with this duck, “Just not the type of witch Negs thinks I am. Do you think if I made your old body reform it would be as painful as when you lost it?”

At that moment, Liquidator didn’t even consider if he would really want to be turned back or not. It was the fact she had offered it as a threat that made him react instantly. Without saying a word he went to his more fluid form and splashed through the cage bars. He picked up the would-be witch so she was inside his watery form. 

Liquidator did not intend to drown her /completely/, but scare her enough to keep her beak shut. However, she was not scared. Faustina did not struggle like someone drowning in a body of water would. Instead, her whole jaw unhinged. She exposed teeth going further back on the inside of her bill than should have been there. Jagged teeth showed down the sides of her neck. They were razor sharp. She even nicked her own tongue against them, causing a little blood to release like a tiny nuclear cloud.  

Instead of struggling with drowning, she went to take a big gulp of water. Liquidator felt the pulling motion of what was about to happen and quickly retreated. He pulled himself through the bars and quickly reformed to his usual upright form. 

“Oh, you are exactly as advertised,” was all he could say as he saw the monster girl still grinning in the cage. Her straight wet hair and dress only made her aesthetic more off putting. Faustina stood there for a moment with her jaw still open wide. It now clearly looked like she had two rows of teeth past her normal jaw line. In mere seconds, she closed her mouth and all the monstrous form was hidden once again.

“And now you include a free prize inside,” Faustina giggled. Liquidator made an uncertain face at her statement. 

“I’m afraid to ask what you mean by that…,” the water dog replied as he took a few steps back from the cage.

“Oh, don’t worry. I don’t resurrect people for free. If you’re good at something, get PAID for it. You know what I mean,” she let out another giggle that sounded like it was in stereo. It was like somewhere else on her body was giggling. For a moment LIquidator thought he saw a line of teeth across the woman’s collarbone. Before we could register what he saw it was back to just normal feathers. The smile on her beak still remained,  “You’re going to unlock this cage.”

“I am certainly not. I can see why Negaduck has you in here and you’re going to be in there when he gets back,” Liquidator said while walking towards the keys on the table and picking them up. It took him a moment to realize he was doing so when he had no intention of walking over there. When he was half way walking back to the cage he tried to stop himself, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?”

“I’m a blood witch, not a bike witch,” she first started simply. When Liquidator was struggling against coming closer to the cage, the witch raised her hand to give more pull towards her, “apparently the bit of blood from my handshake was not enough to get you under my control. I had to go a little more extreme.” 

Liquidator still struggled against what Faustina was making him do. With an aggressive movement of her arm she was able to make Liquidator’s arm stretch out to the cage lock. He inserted the key. When her hand turned, his hand turned the key in the lock. The witch simply pushed open the door and stepped out. The water dog tried to back away from her as she approached. 

From Faustina’s wet dress she pulled the smallest mason jar Liquidator had ever seen. She scooped up a bit of water from Liquidator’s outstretched arm and closed the lid on the jar tight.

“I highly recommend not doing any jobs for fae. It was hard to thick up how I was going to get samples from people without blood. Nice to know I can still over power people with some mind games instead. Welp, It’s been swell, but the swellings going down. Hopefully I don’t see you around. Tootles!” and with that Faustina just walked out of the room. She was out of the house before Liquidator could move again. 

Liquidator placed the keys back on the table. He locked the cage closed without the witch in there, “And I’m just going to leave before Negaduck blames me for this.”

[backtothefuturefan88]

Although wouldn’t it be traumatic for Drake if he came face to face with Darkwarrior Duck, finding out that this could be a possible future for him?

And sweet himbo Launchpad, how could he react to the violent, efficient Nega-Launchpad?

Oh, Drake would have a complete breakdown if he ever saw DarkWarrior and found out exactly how that version of him become like that.

He would want to know where Gos was 24/7 and would get no sleep.

He would probably try to keep a 24/7 surveillance on Megavolt and Quackerjack to insure that they both don’t go time traveling again, and if they do he’d try and keep Gosalyn as far away from them as possible. I’d say he’d even get paranoid over S.H.U.S.H.’s time traveling golf kart and would ask for it to be securely locked away somewhere where no can find it.

If Drake was never canonically afraid of becoming like Negaduck, I’m fairly certain that DarkWarrior would be the one he’d be afraid of turning into since he’s more similar to DarkWarrior than to Negaduck.

Now Launchpad…

I think Launchpad would start questioning his loyalty to DW.

Not that he thinks that DW could turn into Negaduck or DarkWarrior really, but should he really just go with whatever DW does and not question it? Is he himself really that violent.

But I think it would mostly be him questioning DW’s decisions or morals, and whether if DW is actually the superhero he looks up too.

[angstphilosophy]

if there’s one thing I love about the writers of Darkwing Duck 1991 and Ducktales 2017, it’s that they keep one point consistent: anyone that was ever Darkwing Duck for a long time, whether they’re just acting or an actual hero, are in danger of losing themselves and they need loved ones (Gosalyn and Launchpad in this case) in order to keep going and ground them

i’ll touch on the others briefly but let’s talk about jim starling specifically. he has almost kind of a possessive, entitled, and selfish attachment to being darkwing, and it’s clear his ego is huge. i didn’t think of it much at first, but you can clearly see that jim starling wears his costume as his civilian clothes. he’s got the turquoise turtleneck and the signature buttons on his coat. it kinda implies that being darkwing duck IS his life, which really bodes poorly for an actor like him if he can only take one 1 role for a TV show (a show that got canceled bc of poor ratings + jim himself according to francisco angones)

it doesn’t seem like he had any other roles, so he has no life outside of darkwing duck. when a darkwing doesn’t have a life outside of just doing w/e it is, they get... ‘obsessing’ (as gosalyn puts it in the ‘91 show’s Time and Punishment)

and having no life outside of darkwing means he doesn’t really have any great personal relationships. he hates superfan #1 drake from the second he found out the younger actor took his role, and he doesn’t even call superfan #2 launchpad by name; LP to him is just his sidekick

in the end, this darkwing duck became a villain. more specifically, he became negaduck

and isn’t that just familiar? it’s similar to what happened to darkwarrior duck. in some twisted future, he thought gosalyn ran away from him and so, he became depressed for awhile until he rescued a kid that looked like gosalyn. ever since then, he resolved to be tougher on crime, and to that end, he fired launchpad from being his sidekick (sweet launchpad, the man stayed at Darkwing Tower for all those years out of a sense of loyalty) and went on a tyrannical campaign. when gosalyn came back to him, darkwarrior was more concerned with making gosalyn his sidekick than actually properly raising her and making sure she has a great childhood. this contrasts heavily with how drake mallard in the 1991 show mostly tries to stop gosalyn from being involved as much as he could for her own good (to keep her safe. heck, before she accidentally hitched a ride to the future with megavolt and quackerjack, drake explicitly forbade her from coming along with him and launchpad to confront said two supervillains). i think darkwarrior doesn’t remember what a normal life is like and frankly, doesn’t care. he threw away the identity of drake mallard and with it, the need to care for gosalyn properly as his own daughter, as well as his own relationship with launchpad

in a similar case with 1991 negaduck (the second version, the one we’re all more familiar with, he came from the negaverse), we really had no indiciation that negaduck really tried to pursue a father-daughter relationship with her. heck, it was up to nega-launchpad to get her toys and flowers, and even then, there doesn’t seem to be an emotional attachment between her and nega-launchpad either. it’s not really the same becos yk, i’m inclined to believe that og negaduck was evil since the beginning. but it does point to how parenting gosalyn properly is an indication of drake’s morality

all i’m saying is that anyone that’s ever been darkwing (or alt versions of darkwing whether they go by that name or not) need gosalyn and launchpad to keep them grounded, as well as maintaing a relationship with them. even with og drake mallard in 1991, it was implied many times that he would eventually give into his ego and gloryhounding ways and lose himself to crimefighting if it weren’t gosalyn and eventually launchpad barging into his life. he was going to drive himself mad from loneliness and isolation and the need for glory and attention from a thankless city that wasn’t going to supply him with any. and with it, he was also going to put himself in even more danger without a care about his own well-being because, well, he had no one to go back to at the end of the day after crimefighting. he was well and truly alone, and he was probably going to die painfully while crimefighting alone without gosalyn and launchpad. 

so yeah jim starling was lonely, he didn’t really care about anyone except his image and his ego, and he turned into a villain after a particularly bad day

edit: 2017 drake, on the other hand, at least symbolically dresses in a way in his civilian forme that doesn’t really imply he’s too far into the darkwing shtick. sure he wears a light violet shirt, but it’s not the shade of violet that darkwing is known for, and he also dons a smartwatch and sometimes a baseball cap and sunglasses hanging from his shirt. even 1991 drake looks very different from darkwing in his attempt to keep his two identities separate: a salmon shirt under a green argyle sweater vest.

Fearsome Five - Darkwing Duck

I'm posting my drawing again, of Darkwing Duck and their main villains, called the Fearsome Five. Admittedly, those are also my favorite characters from Darkwing Duck. I drew this last year for the 30th anniversary of Darkwing Duck. The rest is copied text from my last year's post.

"And now, let’s get dangerous!

I mean, let’s get Fearsome Five!

Finally, this is over. I started this drawing a month and a half ago, but due to numerous obligations, I didn’t manage to paint it, but this time it was done. This was drawn as a redraw drawing of Fearsome Five by the ingenious Tad Stones (creator of Darkwing Duck both as a character and as a TV series), and his drawing can be viewed here: https://twitter.com/tadstones/status/920684543434043393

Although 30 years have passed since Darkwing Duck as well as the jubilee itself, I wanted to draw something related to one of my favorite cartoon series. I’ve drawn Darkwing Duck several times already, this time I wanted to draw related to the jubilee precisely for the reasons I watched that series, and it’s about the villains, more precisely the infamous team, called Fearsome Five or Terrible Five. That team of villains is led by none other than Negaduck, Darkwing’s biggest opponent, who comes from Negaverse as Nega-Drake Mallard or rather Negaduck. 

Although Negaduck is my favorite villain in Darkwing Duck, there are still a lot of villains who have become dear to me and even more funny. Although these villains were created as a parody of the villains from Batman, DC and Marvel, these villains have become dear to me. Yes, it’s Fearsome Four, a group of villains fighting Darkwing Duck, but without Negaduck. Like this, with Negaduck they make a terrible team or rather a funny team of villains that I love. Yes, here are Megavolt, Quackerjack, Bushroot and Liquidator, plus, there are Mr Banana Brain (Quackerjack’s toy) and Spike, a messenger plant (Bushroot’s pet) and a monster mushroom in Bushroot’s hands. It’s hard for me to single out who my favorite villain is in Darkwing Duck so I put all five of them on one drawing. I just can’t single them out.

Sorry there is no background, as well as the fact that I put this drawing as three photos, which are light and dark.

In the end, even though it’s over, I want to wish the Darkwing Duck a happy 30th anniversary once again! And I also hope to see all five of them in the Darkwing Duck reboot. Yes, I put all of them in the classic version, from the original series. Happy anniversary, Fearsome Five!"

I hope you like this drawing and love these villains.

Which Negaverse character arc (in your Fanfic) do you think is your favorite? And why? (I know you don't write anymore, but I want to know)

(lol I do still write, just not Negaverse stuff atm) I guess I enjoyed Nega Megavolt's arc most- a solo hero struggling to figure things out on his own and ending up with allies along the way who support him. There's just something about the loneliness -> found family growth arc that's sweet to develop. Not to mention he's dealt with Negaduck longest, giving them both a lot of banter material to work with lol

Wishlist

Finally making one of these. It will be added to over time.

Darkwing

I'd love to do some Darkwing and Megavolt stuff. Especially some past stuff with them meeting and being friends in high school. Maybe even a few AUs? It's just an interesting dynamic for me.

Some things with the Fearsome five and other villains in general. Not necessarily combat threads but like unusual situations where they might be forced to team up.

Morgana

Things that explore the more magical side of the Duckverse.

Threads were placed when Morgana was still a villain and her transition to a hero. Maybe an AU, where she never became a hero and stayed a villain?

Darkwarrior

Him interacting with other Gosalyns be they "Normal" version (but not his Gosalyn, obviously unless time travel, as my version of Darkwarrior's Gosalyn is actually dead) or like Nega Gosalyn or Quiverwing duck's before she died.

The Broker

I'd like to have her develop some actual bonds with people, but it isn't an easy feat with her.

Rory "Riot" Llewelyn

I want to get into more of his stage life and him doing co-op stuff with other musical muses.

Oda Nobunaga

As he is based off Otome game interpretation, There is a lot of leeway for explore his interactions in other situations. So I'd like to do that. Maybe explore his friends in ether a modern (sorta doing this atm) or in other verses.

Takeda Shingen

See Nobunaga.

Sir Pentious

Slice of life or just normal demon shenanigans for the most part. I haven't thought a lot about things I really wanna do with him yet as I haven't really used him and not too many people seem interested in him.

Cloud Guy

We know hardly anything about this guy and his race in the Trolls universe, so I want to explore that should anyone be interested in rping with him.

Crow

So I made Crow as sorta a Goth archetype for the Troll universe and exploring that would be fun. I imagine he has an interesting relationship with both the Classical Trolls and the Rock Trolls. But I don't know how the dynamic would be with other groups.
