Defying Gravity

Getting started here with this whole fandom mess, heaven help me.  I'm weak for Disney Ducks.

[incorrectlowerdecksquotes]

T’ana, standing with her back turned: I’ve been expecting you, Tendi.

Tendi: How did you do that without turning around?

T’ana: ... to be perfectly honest, the first couple of people I did that to were not you.

Hello! Sending an ask because I can’t DM you. I’m sorry to tell you this but there’s a blog that’s been reposting fics from AO3 as their own here on Tumblr and yours is one of them. The blog is ‘dt-17-lover’ and they’ve posted your Foreverglades fic, along with other writers fics.

I think maybe the best thing to do is report them for impersonation? I mean they are pretending to be the writer of your fic so that feels closest, I don’t think it would be considered a copyright issue annoyingly.

Oh, wow. I honestly have no idea how old this ask is because I haven't logged into this account in ages, but I'll look into it and I thank you kindly for the heads-up! I hate plagiarism...

[hearmeouteliza]

I just started reading All for you and Oh my god i need to know what happens next if your still doing it.

I just logged into this account for the first time in over a year, because life got crazy chaotic and I've just been trying to keep up, so this tumblr kind of fell by the wayside. This made me so happy to see, though, and I'm happy you found my story! The answer is that if my WIPs are still up on my Ao3 page (Audrey_Lynne), I haven't given up on them entirely. If I know truly, deeply, that I'll never touch a story again, I orphan it so someone else can continue it if they're so inclined. But All for You in particular is definitely one I WANT to return to, so thank you for the little reminder that someone but me does care when these stories get left hanging! I probably won't be updating here, because I can't check in consistently (though I'll try!), but feel free to check out Ao3 for updates!

[hearmeouteliza]

I live!

Sorry to disappear for a while, folks, but I ended up taking an unplanned hiatus due to a bunch of real life stuff. None of it was too terrible, but I had a job that was deeply stressing me out, and I was able to put in notice and transition to a better position. So it's all good now, but things have been busy and they're settling down finally. Don't worry - I haven't left any of my active fandoms, and I'm definitely still working on my fics in progress. Especially since I now have more time off during the week!

Reblog this with how you found out Prince Phillip died

[hearmeouteliza]

Scrooge: So, since I'm Webby's father, and you've essentially been her mother all these years, and with all our history...should we get married?

Beakley: Absolutely fucking not.

Scrooge: ...as I expected.

Webby: (scandalized) You cursed!

Goldie: *angry noises in crowd*

Scrooge: Ah, knew that'd draw her out! How're you doin', Goldie-girl?

Goldie: ...wait, you're Webby's what now?

[starfruit-petalz-deactivated202]

I can’t color this completely but I needed to draw this !!

[hearmeouteliza]

THIS IS THE BEST ADDITION!

GYRO IS NOT A TUMBLR SEXYMAN

[pholux-twg-deactivated20220801]

I still feel like I haven’t really given a proper sendoff. Maybe it’s healthy to admit I never will be able to, but I can try…

I know everyone loved the moment Scrooge went all protective dad mode on Webby, but I can’t stop thinking about the fact he deadass ditched Webby in a swamp to go find youth juice with Goldie.

He third wheeled Webby, who had back pain and a swollen eye. Would he have done the same had he known the truth?

Let’s dissect that.

[audubonbaybridge]

Scrooge is selfish, no doubt about that. But it rubbed me the wrong way that he only cared about Webby’s safety to the extent of wanting to baby her and put her in a life jacket when he knew she was his daughter. Why didn’t the other kids, including May and June, get that treatment?

[dellyduck]

It’s really upsetting. It just shows that a biologic daughter (his favorite biologic daughter) is more important than even his biologic nephews.

The lifevest moment is cute and sweet if you just look at it, but if just stop to give it a thought and look at the characters as a whole… Is it right? Should this situation really be happening? With them, right now?

[hearmeouteliza]

I see your points and they’re valid…tbh, I’m not sure if Scrooge would have cheerfully left his kid behind in the Foreverglades, then had an, “Oh, shit” moment and gone back once sense caught up to him. I had a different interpretation of the life vest moment, though…I do need to watch the finale again when initial reactions are past and I can analyze it…but I saw it as him thinking “wait how do I dad” and he defaulted to things he’d seen Donald do. Granted, the boys were still left out, but that’s just my $.02 worth on that bit.

[peachhoneii]

That’s sorta my point. We could say, “If Goldie knew, would she ask Scrooge?” I am going to say a toss up that probably, yeah, she still would - pointing out he’s 151 with an 11 year old. I think Scrooge still would’ve left with more reluctance and come back when his guilt was too much.

But he would’ve turned back. He didn’t turn back when Webby was just his adopted niece.

I did a whole rewatch of the series before the finale, and that just seemed so standoffish to me since they’re supposed to be his kids, fun uncle or not. In the finale, he seemed so additionally sweet and loving to Webby, using the same endearment his OG counterpart used when they weren’t related by blood.

Your interpretation is fine too! I’d say it’s pretty funny!

[hearmeouteliza]

I agree there - Goldie is Goldie, and she would have likely been operating on a "not my kid, not my problem" mentality...and Scrooge probably would have been talked into it. As much as I enjoyed Foreverglades, I did have a problem with him leaving Webby behind...I understand it narratively, but I was also cheerfully thinking about how Beakley would rightfully kick his ass when she found out.

beakley saw this little girl who needed a home and gave up her job as a spy to raise her. bentina beakley deserves the absolute world

[puppy-chips-deactivated20230224]

Saying this one time.

Tag your vent posts. Tag your discourse. Tag anything you have a problem with.

I don’t want to see it, and if you don’t tag that shit I’m blocking you. Not sorry.

Let people who enjoyed the ending be happy, and not flood the tags with posts that could’ve been avoided. You have your opinions, that’s fine, but frankly I’d rather keep all the hate and pessimistic comments away from this blog and anyone else who doesn’t want to see it.

Thanks

Can somebody who understands how cloning actually works tell me what kind of relation Webby has with Scrooge?

Wouldn’t that make Webby Scrooge’s identical twin or something?

I need someone to lay down the facts to me.

Because we know Webby and Scrooge share genetic similarities and she was a by product of a cloning this actually means…

blankity blankity blank

[ai-reblogs]

Okay so theoretically speaking, by cloning you get two exact copies of dna, so yeah technically genetic twins.

(However you start with an embryo, since as far as I know, you can’t create a whole adult being out of nowhere. Of course, when it comes to any creature, there’s more factors apart from dna that determines the character or the features of an individual, so it’s not unusual for clones to look or behave different.)

What I don’t understand is that we’ve had several cases of cloning in the series before but none of them followed this, so by in-world logic, Webby and Scrooge should be identical twins just like all the other ones.

[hearmeouteliza]

My pet theory of the moment is that Black Heron hadn't perfected cloning juuuust yet, so rather than making a full clone, she literally created the heir with perhaps a cloned (blank) egg and Scrooge as the paternal DNA. Which means Webby would have a biological mother...leaving a lot of fun possibilities open for who that donor might be, anyone from a completely random anonymous duck to someone significant.

[hearmeouteliza]

Thoughts on the finale to come later...this post is spoiler-safe...but, dang, 11pm-12am was the longest hour ever. Xfinity was like, "Yes, you get it at midnight, but in your time zone. No peeksies!"

Initial reaction: There were a few things I would have done differently and, yeah, parts that weren't my favorite, but overall I thought it was a solid conclusion with a ton of great moments. And my main fic-verse has become exactly as AU as I thought it would be, but not in the ways I predicted.

[hearmeouteliza]

Allll righty, signing off until the finale drops and I watch it...the leaks are beginning to creep out there...

[hearmeouteliza]

Part of me has been concerned, considering that some factions of the fandom have been preparing to hate the finale for a couple weeks now. But then I reminded myself that they can't steal my joy, no matter what they think. If I'm disappointed by it, so be it, but if I love it, then great. Will I have fix-it ideas? Considering I'm writing a fix-it for a series I stopped watching in 1995, probably...

None of my regular crew have been hating just to hate; their criticisms have been legitimate, even if my opinion was different (and sometimes I've agreed!). But, while I don't understand it, there are those in fandom who do hate on things just for the sake of doing so. Don't let them get you down, either. It's easy, especially if you have rejection-sensitive issues, but don't feel like you have to let other people dictate your fandom experience.
