I couldn’t not post this but oughhhh Donald Duck is so important to me

Also! Della definitely thinks she’s the invisible one too :)

#ducktales 2017 #my edits #just go with the fact i didn’t wanna change the pronouns

(Volume warning) This is what it sounds like in Donald’s head at all times I think

#ducktales 2017 #my edits #i love this meme so much

Forgot to post this btw. Penumbra is still very important to me (also I know having Della in this edit makes no sense with the intention of the song but come on how could I not have her as Glinda when I have Penumbra as Elphaba)

Am I about to start watching this fuckin show. Are you hooligans going to convince me to watch fuckin duck tales

#seeing dt17 posts breach containment is always fun

Started listening to Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 self titled album but when I look at the cover I somehow imagine Mick (on the left, for the unaware) as Odin Eidolon and it’s taking me out

#seven penumbras and one manny

The trailer for Wicked: For Good dropped today and I cannot help but make mental comparisons of Glinda in act 2 to Penumbra in Whatever Happened to Donald Duck. Hear me out

They’re both being told by corrupt leaders of their respective lands to go along with the smear campaign of someone who they know isn’t causing harm but instead is a scapegoat to push a hateful agenda

#penumbra also plays a fiyero like role by trying to help donald #and first appearing to have died in the process

Who do you think is the most at fault regarding the Spear of Selene incident?

Scrooge

Della

Bradford

Donald

It was all of their fault

#where is the correct answer (gyro)#we need to blame him for everything that happens ever

I think so much about how much it must have sucked being a teen in the 90s with the name Donald. I’d be so pissed about it personally

Okay so I might have been wrong about this because I just found out Kurt Cobain’s middle name was Donald and I think emo Donald would be like NO WAY SEE IT’S NOT LAME if he knew that

#to me donald still loves nirvana and weezer

Camera 9 edit to Lonely is the Muse by Halsey for no reason other than it’s a very 2009 Shadow the Hedgehog AMV type of song (I mean this as the highest compliment btw) and I think that’s what we should do with Camera 9 just in general

angus fangus would have done numbers on fox news unfortunately

DNCJSJSJDJSJ OKAY SO

Donald’s family is composed of three branches. The McDuck Clan, Coot kin and the Duck family.

Coots are smaller birds that often get mistaken for ducks and while Coot can be used as a last name like how Duck or Mouse are common last names in the duckverse (like Johnson or Smith etc) I doubt that Barks and Rosa went out of their way to give them a last name without it having some biological meaning as well.

Donald’s dad, Quackmore Duck, is the son of Elvira Coot and Humperdink Duck. Now, unfortunately we don’t know much about Humperdink’s parents but we’re given enough tools at our disposal to figure enough out.

Donald’s mother is Hortense McDuck, a fiery duck from Scotland. As far as I can tell, duck is all she has.

So that’s it right?? Donald is part duck part coot??

NOPE

THERE’S SOMETHING ELSE

DONALD’S PART GOOSE AS WELL

The guy who looks high at the bottom left corner of the picture there?? That’s Gus Goose. He’s a semi-distant cousin of Donald’s related to him from his father.

Now it’s implied from the family tree that the goose part for Gus came from Luke Goose which is fine and dandy and it could very well have been from him. But again, it doesn’t have to be the only source of goose in his family. (and it already isn’t considering Gladstone Gander canonically being half goose half duck)

Humperdink’s parents are unknown right?? Who’s to say he isn’t part goose as well? Maybe he got it from his dad or mom who knows they’re not in the tree. And if he’s part goose part duck, then Quackmore is goose-duck-coot mixed.

Going by all of this, we can say that Donald Duck is 2/4ths Duck, ¼th Coot and ¼th Goose.
