Despite the url staying the same Elvira has been moved onto a sideblog!

#please go follow me there

Tumblr put in a new "feature" where they hold a url for 24 hours after you've changed it incase you want to change it back.

Which is super annoying when I just want to remake my blog as a sideblog on a different email. But you know I could live with that. 24 hours isn't too bad.

Except it's been over 24 hours- over 48 at this point. So fuck tumblr. I want my fucking username.

#ooc #dont normally like to swear online but im so angry my dudes #i love my elviraduck url and im gonna be really upset if its gone forever

Im behind on replies, but my anxiety with how I write Elvira has been acting up. Elvira is a confident strong willed woman and I.. am not. I avoid confrontation like the plague. While writing it can be fun sometimes I just keep getting anxious.

I think I'm gonna remake my blog so I have a hub and then my characters will be on side blogs. Not really gonna help in the long run, but sometimes a fresh start helps. Might also become highly selective instead of mutuals only.

Kinda been wanting to do that for awhile, but the time never seemed right. So yeah, think I'm gonna go on a small hiatus to do that. I'll still be lurking tho.

Went through inducks and apparently Elvira can play the fiddle, bandoneon, and banjo.

This got me thinking about Donald playing his hat in the Three Caballoros. I always thought his hat turned into an accordion. I had never heard of the bandoneon before, but I think Donald’s hat was supposed to be a bandoneon. Specifically because of this scene that’s also in the movie where a man is playing a bandoneon (the keys are different than that of an accordion).

I’m sure they choose the bandoneon because of it’s prominent use in a lot of Latin American music.

But it’s fun to think that Donald already knew how to play because he had been taught by his grandmother. Tho the comic with Elvira playing the bandoneon did come out after the Three Caballoros movie.

Elvira: Yes, you will return it! Where are your manners? Don’t you have any respect for your elders?

Magica: Here… you can have it! If there’s one thing a witch can’t stand, it’s a grandmother’s disapproving look!

🤗 [[because he's glad to be staying on the farm this whole fam needs one after all the Loon-Duck drama, I think]]

🤗 - hug my muse. accepting

Elvira had been working on cleaning the house when she felt the tiny arms clinging onto her out of nowhere. Maybe if she had less practice with surprise hugs from ducklings she would have stumbled, but as it were she let out a soft laugh and petted Dugan’s head. “Hello to you too, Darling.”

On a whim she leans down and lifts Dugan up, resting him on her hip so she can hug him properly. “And how are you doing today?”

Elvira was always at her happiest when there were ducklings living on the farm.

12, 17, and 20!

12. what are your muse’s feelings towards stereotypes relating to their identity? do they affect their self-image, or how they perceive others?

Elvira rolls her eyes at most stereotypes. Depending on which ones you’re spouting she can see you anywhere from uninformed to just plain awful.

17. how are their feelings towards pride and related phenomenons?

Elvira doesn’t normally participate, the whole affair is a bit too load and boisterous for her tastes. But she’s glad they exist. She tends to get this warm feeling in her chest thinking about how open people get to be about their love now.

20. what are your muse’s feelings towards the culture of romance and sexuality as it pertains to their identity?

Elvira knows nothing about that culture as it is today. And when she was dating the culture of the theater had more influence on who/how she was dating.

And while the mainstream at the time insisted on woman getting married, not everyone did. There was a decent percentage of spinsters who were in relationships with other woman.

If Elvira had fallen in love with a woman instead of Humperdink her life would have been entirely different, but she still would have been happy.
