Duck Twins and Triplets

I know I have a lot of critiques to this show, especially with this last season, but not just Ducktales was an important part of my life in a heck of a hard year and gave me the opportunity to create a lot and make some friendships I hope to carry for years to go...

They also gave me her

I can’t start to explain how much Della’s important to me. I think anyone who follows me knows by now.

She’s just this amazing, flawed, beautiful, energetic character. She’s not perfect, she makes mistakes and she has a lot to learn, but she tries.

I love her so much. And I know we’ll probably not see her again after the show ends, especially this version of her, but at least we’ll always have DT 2017 and the story they made for her.

Thank you Ducktales.

“apologize for being weird about the character” no the point of passion and hyperfixation is that you’re shamelessly and unapologetically weird about the thing that brings you joy

This. This was just absolutely incredible. 

So much mom Della content has been Della trying her darndest to be the best mom ever but messing up a bit along the way, and even for a lot of this episode, her intentions were on point, but her methods weren’t quite. She was right that her kids were more mature than Zeus, but having them try out to be gods was a bit much. 

Besides, having them try out to be gods was just a crutch, not a cast. Their wound was that Scrooge chose other people over them after they’d failed. 

After spending the day watching her babies dissolve like cotton candy in a puddle repeatedly from Selene and Scrooge’s rejection (mainly Scrooge’s, since that was the core issue), she’d had enough.

Della is an absolute uncle’s girl. She loves and looks up to Scrooge so much. He’s her hero and biggest supporter, and she’s his baby girl. 

But as a mom, her own babies come first. And she’s not going to sit back and let someone hurt her babies, no matter who it is or whether it’s intentional or not.

I think Della may have been speaking from experience here, too. We saw her struggle with the need to prove her own worth when she first came back home, but I think she also strove for Scrooge’s approval as a child.

She knows what it’s like to be a kid trying to live up to Scrooge McDuck’s expectations, and as much fun as she had, there were probably times it was hard… times when she didn’t feel good enough. 

And like any parent, she wants better for her kids.

She doesn’t want them growing up questioning their worth or their place in the family. She doesn’t want them to feel replaceable like how she felt when she encountered Mrs. Beakley the maternal figure or Launchpad the pilot. She made sure to tell them they’re unique and irreplaceable, but she knew the words sounded hollow up against Scrooge’s actions. She knew Scrooge was the only one who could undo what he started, and she wasn’t afraid to call him out. 

I loved seeing Della as the kids’ advocate. I loved seeing her fight so hard for them, and against her own hero of all people. She’s growing so much as a mom and she’s really found where she fits in the family.

Crossover!

I don't think I've ever rly drawn Della before. I remember losing my shit when her debut episode was released, I spend every day chasing the high of hearing Moon Theme

[jesncin]

my high school english teacher would often critique our literature analysis work by pointing out: "you're treating these characters like they're real people. They're not. They're characters". And it took me a long time to understand what he meant by that. Because I always thought "isn't that the point? That writers want to write characters to be so three dimensional that they act and feel like real people?" but that's not it.

Characters are tools a writer uses in service of a story. Of course characters can be written with depth to the point they feel real to us, but they exist in service of their narrative. Something real people aren't beholden to at all. When discussing characters, I think it's easy to accidentally see these characters as "real people" and not extensions of the author's beliefs. Tools for a narrative. Means of storytelling.

History Repeats Itself AU Two Year Anniversary

Been a long two years what can I say?

I’ve really been working on an entire AU for two years huh? I cant even wrap my head around that, but I wanna thank you all for always being supportive throughout it all.

I know the AU is going through some changes, as evident by le doodles above both in designs and dialogue decisions, but I’m so excited to explore those new ideas and this world again as a whole real soon! Small note, I have unpublished my book from Wattpad as I’m in the process of rewriting things in the timeline, working on new characters, and setting up the main stories and arcs this AU will be following, hopefully more news on that soon, but the book was taken down by my own choice in case anyone saw it was gone!

This AU really has become my child and I wanna make sure the story I tell is as good as it can be, but it’s not just my AU anymore. Words cannot explain how much love I have for @randomduckydoodles @dellyduck @a-small-collection-of-nonsense @raheyyy @ai-higurashi and all they’ve done for me these last handful of months. This AU is just as much theirs as it is mine, and I’ve loved working with you guys, talking with you guys about random silly ideas, those moments we all brainstorm and the chats become paragraphs upon paragraphs, they’re always amazing and I love each of you so much with my entire being.

Thank you so much for letting me share my world with you, for helping me out with it, that door for ideas is always opened, unless it’s about Dewey we all know Soph has gatekept him /j, and for being there for me when I got stuck and didn’t know what direction to take the AU. All of you have done so much and just know that I’m always here whenever you need it as well!

In true DuckTales fashion, we’ve become our own family and I’m grateful for that and you guys.

And everyone who has always been supportive of me and my AU through our everything, a huge thank you to all too! You’ve helped keep this AU alive and you guys are the reason I’m even able to celebrate this AU being 2 years old this year! I never thought I’d be able to create something and gain such an audience for it, but thank you all so much, for everything.

Here’s to 2 years of HRI, and to more news and reveals coming soon💙💙💙

And of course, any questions my inbox is opened!

I've always headcanoned that Louie actually gave the junior woodchucks a try before deciding it was boring, leaving the tedious activities for his oldest brother. Meanwhile, Dewey never did just for the mere idea of teamwork.

Bonus:

I love that idea too. I see this a possibility if kit had stayed with the pirates in an alternate universe. As much as I want kit to stay the hell away from karnage. in an au he would be fine what I am trying to say is I always saw pirate!kit as a different person from our kit. Dang it I hope I am making sense I apologize I love the idea of a pirate wedding for delkit I will go now 😅

shauhsua hey no, it’s okay! It does make sense. An AU where Kit stayed with the pirates is an interesting idea to explore.

I’m actually reading a great fic called Once a Pirate, that isn’t exactly what could’ve happened if Kit had stayed, but the same author has a fanfic that’s basically what you suggested. For a so small fandom, Talespin has a surprisely good amount of fanfics on FF.net.

But you know the funny part? I never imagined the Delkit wedding happening on an alternative universe XD

Like, my idea is that Kit and Della are fighting against Karnage’s crew, and Kit, who was already planning to propose, decides to simply pop the question there in the middle of the fight. Nothing like facing your biggest enemy and his crew to remind one that life’s short and there’s no time to lose.

Della’s reaction would be basically the same as Elizabeth’s in the video, “Are you seriously talking about this now??”, but she says yes, of course she says yes.

And then someway somehow (probably involving that Karnage has these two as his personal soap opera and in a way to try and distract the couple from the fight) the captaindecides to make it official. The fight doesn’t stop, and Karnage proclaims the vows as he and his crew try to chop Kit’s and Della’s heads from their necks.

Karnage has in mind that the “you can kiss the bride” moment would also be the pirates’ moment of victory, but not just the crew stopped everything to clap and congratulate the now wed couple, the moment Karnage screamed “What are you waiting for?! GET THEM!” is also when Kit and Della break the kiss, echanging one daring look between each other before jumping back into battle!

OOF! I have been wanting to write all of this dowm for so long!

Wow, this answer got loger than I expected XD Lemme save how Becky, Scrooge and the rest of the families did not appreciate being left out of the wedding for another time.

Little sketch of 7 year old Della that I did for one of my favorite fics by @justaboot! It’s called Dear Fellow Traveler on Ao3- if you haven’t read it yet definitely check it out!

Hi I miss DuckTales

[lovely-v]

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”
