Yo I got a few questions for your duckverse au (which is so cute btw I love the human designs you came up with they’re so prettyyyyy)
1. What was the three’s wedding like? I imagine it would either be the most sweet and frankly smallest wedding at Donald’s behest OR the loudest wildest party bc y’know it’s panchito and Jose
2. Do the triplet’s remember being raised by pan & joe before they left or will don even tell them about all that when they get older?
3. Does the rest of the timeline kinda follow Ducktales 2017 or would you take more freedom to add in your own adventures, like pan&joe popping into the kids’ lives earlier than in the show?
--🥔
let’s freaking gooooo thanks so much for the questions!!!! gonna put answers under the cut since it got kinda long lol
the three of them actually had 3 weddings! or at least what they consider 3. the first was the day josé and panchito proposed to donald in ushuaia, argentina. later that day they went to a nice restaurant, danced, kissed a bunch, the whole shabang. their second wedding was when they began to travel again and ended up back in brazil. it was with josé’s family and friends: his mother and father, his sister (newly pregnant with zico and zeca), rosinha and her father, nestor, and several others. their third wedding was when they reached mexico, with panchito’s family. this one was their largest by far, simply because panchito’s family is 1. huge and 2. equally as bombastic as he is. every wedding they had had different decorations and outfits that i will (hopefully) soon be drawing. ive also designed their wedding/engagement rings!
2. i loooooove this question. the babies…….ive drawn inspiration from a few fanfics ive read over the years that i will attempt to go scouring for. the gist is: all three boys do have memories of zé and paco, albeit vague and fuzzy. huey spent the most time with panchito out of the two of them and thus has the most memories of him: panchito helped teach him how to read, would sing to him at night, carried him around the house wrapped to his chest. if donald were to start singing one of panch’s lullabies, huey would absolutely recognize it. louie spent the most time with josé, and therefore had the most memories of him: sitting in the kitchen in his high chair while zé cooks, lying on his chest in bed late at night, walking to the park while holding the man’s hand. dewey has the least memories of either of them because he actually spent most of his time with donald, aka, he’d cry his wee head off if he couldn’t see don. so most of his memories of zé and paco are zé and paco in relation to donald, not them on their own. like paco holding the both of them since donald is exhausted and dewey is fussy, or zé holding him but making sure he faces donald so he doesn’t scream his wee head off as mentioned earlier. the boys wouldn’t know their names (at least not their full ones) if donald had never told them, and would’ve gone through life seeing these semi-blurry, but very kind figures as donald’s live-in-friends helping while he was raising the boys. but rest assured, donald makes sure they know that zé and paco were there, that they loved them (and still do), and maybe, when they’re old enough—he tells them that donald loves them too.
3. so fair warning for this answer if there’s any lovers in the audience: i warned that this verse isn’t exactly “friendly” to many other characters. not that i dislike the characters of course, or even necessarily disagree with some of their actions, but…keep this in mind.
paco and zé actually crop back in in duffburg by the time the boys are late eight/early nine (slightly younger than ducktales continuity). webby is ten, lena thirteen and a half, violet eleven, april, may, and june also ten. donald’s life is utter chaos: della is fighting for custody of the boys, backed by lawyers hired by scrooge, who still has it out for donald. most of his friends are celebrities (think mickey & minnie = actor & actress, daisy (who is also his ex) = fashion designer, clarabelle = musician. and all the others too, ofc, I have backstories for them as well) who’s advices are unfortunately of the “just try harder, look where that got me” or “up your tax bracket” kind of ilk. pretty much the only friend donald doesn’t feel like failure around is goofy (real name george gibson), who owns a bakery and has a kid of his own. but even then, bless his soul, the man has no idea what it’s like for donald. donald is working three to four jobs, never easy, never the highest-paying, and he’s always chronically late or taking time off if the boys are in trouble or sick or got into it at school.
so paco and zé walk into their husband’s life basically imploding. the two of them are now fairly successful after touring so regularly over the course of seven/eight years. part of their new funds went to immigration papers and all the paperwork that comes along with it, some toward moving trucks, some toward plane tickets, (some toward gifts to give to donald and beg his unnecessary forgiveness with), with a large sum left over. they arrive at donald’s boathouse, and the man is obviously ecstatic and a little confused to see him. once they explain how, donald yanks them inside, and they get a glimpse of just what donald has had to do to survive and keep the boys safe and healthy—safer and healthier than he is. the very next day, after donald has reluctantly gone to work, zé and paco go to check out houses. they find a nice one tucked away from duffburg, price tacked down because of the slight commute. that’s it’s only drawback. it’s got acres of land, a greenhouse and stables that just need a little love, a big area for a garden, and a nice, two-story homestead. donald is…a little hesitant to immediately start “mooching” off his millionaire husbands, especially since he doesn’t exactly have good experiences with rich and wealthy people at this point. but eventually, when they show him the house, he’s helpless to refuse. his main reason is: “it’d be such a nicer life for the boys.”
there is, of course, more that I could get into, but this post is already the size of an ancient tome, so!!! sorry for such a long response, but thank you so much for the questions 🐥
Ooooh poor Donald, bro is going through the trenches of being a parent buuuuuut he eventually gets his husbands so that’s nice
Pan&joe bursting through the door like: “SURPRISE! WE’RE BACK DON- Oooooh you good man?”
And it’s Donald all over the place tryna cook lunch while stopping Dewey from driving the boat or smth one of the triplet shenanigans while he’s already late for work and Huey is tryna put out a fire and Louie is draped over the coach in the bg: “This is fine. Anyways, PANCHITO! JOSE!”
I feel like the boys would be all over their cool new uncles, especially Dewey since the tales of their adventures would just spur him on for his own while his brothers learn all they can, kinda ironic since he seemed to like don the best as a baby lol
Not sure what else to say rn, but maybe you got some of your own hc for the family dynamic once the three cabs are whole again now with older kids (wait how old are the triplets when p&j come back😀)?
hit the nail on the head. that house is utter chaos like……….92% percent of the time. that other 8% is usually the calm before the storm. but it’s THEIR chaos <3
in my head all three of them are the “fun” parents in their own way, and then the “boring” parents in a different way. under the cut bc i have no self control
donald is where the kids learn…mmmmost of their curse words. scottish and english. he does…attempt to not curse in front of the kids, but…………..so many years in the navy does not go away so easily </3 but on the other hand, this one keeping slightly canon with DT17, he’s quite protective. every fourth sentence out of his mouth is “huey be careful by the stove”, every second sentence is “dewey for chrissake get OFF the edge of the boat”. louie is lazy he doesn’t need to worry about him <3
panchito does teach the kids proper marksmanship. and how to start fires. and how to juke an animal out if they’re being charged by it. he lets the kids handle his pistols (devoid of bullets) and does NOT understand why donald has had so many heart attack scares. but he also makes sure the boys eat vegetables and fruits and proper protein even if they complain. they rarely do bc paco’s cooking is nectar from the gods <3 he does NOT allow instant ramen in his house. he went through that with donald already.
josé smokes in front of the kids, admittedly more than he should. he does adhere to the “im an adult im allowed to make bad decisions” rule. he teaches them how to properly lie to get out of trouble, how to use those baby blue eyes to their advantages, the whole nine yards. louie gives donald the whole spiel one day and don is glaring at zé over his head. he’s heard it all before. but zé is the primary enforcer of bedtime. he runs it like he’s back as the head nurse of a wartime hospital. if he finds out they left their rooms for any funny business (food, water, bathroom, nightmare comfort all excluded obvs) hell hath no fury on this man…

💬 1 🔁 13 ❤️ 50 · 🌀🌀 ohhhhhh you wanna ask me about my three cabs headcanons so badddddd you wanna ask me so badddddddd 🌀🌀
hi okay like. three people is enough for me. i NEED to talk about this duck man…and this parrot and chicken…
a little context first! my verse takes place sort of “out of time”, aka it’s got no set period it takes place in. it jumps mostly between 1930s-1940s (since around when donald was created/ww2 era and all that) and modern day. so if you see something that doesn’t make sense for one era, that’s because it’s borrowed from the other! is it a cop-out…probably. am i lazy. yeah. does it also kinda make sense with the whole cartoon thing? id like to think so yeah
anyway! welcome to LUXURY’S (HUMAN) DUCK-VERSE (not totally accurate or necessarily realistic and i do apologize <3) (make sure to check out the above post for further context <3)
ill jump right into the three cabs’ storyline since that’s the part everybody seems the most interested in!!
so we’ll start in Duffburg for ease(my verse’s version of Duckburg. named after Scrooge McDuff (yes like hamlet), the owner of the city)
Donald (last name Duncan) is drafted at eighteen. Duffburg is a port city, so he’s almost immediately delegated to the Navy (it’s the silver lining for him. this man is a beach rat unfortunately). he fights for 5 years (drafted just after the US officially enters the war), but has to be discharged after he’s shot in the back and temporarily paralyzed. he’s transported to one of the closest major mainland hospitals. im unfortunately a “Duff(Duck)burg is an east coast city), so donald spends most of his time in the navy around the Atlantic and European theatres, therefore the closest mainland hospital is in—
Rio de Janeiro.
he spends a good chunk of time there. the war ends AS he’s being treated, so everyone’s caught up in that before they can think of transporting patients home.
enter José Carioca. Zé did. not want to join the military. it also would’ve been a bit of a struggle as he has a smidge of an old criminal record (god forbid a man have a hobby (conning people <3)). so he just doesn’t. but, sigh, despite what he wants people to believe he does have a bleeding heart, so he joins the Red Cross. he’s put to work at the Naval Hospital Marcílio Dias (if any bit of this is inaccurate, lemme know!! im using my extensive research to the best of my ability </3)
here, he becomes donald’s nurse. José takes one look at this grizzled, kind of an asshole guy and immediately says “so is anyone gonna desire him carnally or do I have to do everything myself?” and doesn’t wait for an answer. when donald’s finally going to be transported home, zé gives him a paper with three things on it: his home address, his landline number, and the words “come find me”. he doesn’t necessarily expect Donald to.
but donald gets back to Duffburg, recovers, learns to walk again, and immediately goes stir crazy. where’s the ocean, where’s the noise, where’s the…anything that’s my not uncle and sister pestering me about my back and leg and mind? he catches wind about the Good Neighbor Program and decides to “what the hell, sure” and decided to interview for it. he gets it and is shuffled off despite his family thinking he’s maybe gone a smidge insane.
he doesn’t care. he heads on down to Rio, again. guess he just can’t stay away.
he soon learns Zé has volunteered to be a guide—as in, he sees him in the crown and recognizes him immediately. and despite the fact that guides are supposed to take multiple neighbors, he grabs Donald and scurries away before anyone is any wiser.
they travel and have fun and donald hasn’t felt this alive in years. he decides “actually, im not leaving”, gets a travel visa in record timing, sorts his papers out later, and sticks around. jane porter energy
they start to pop around from country to country. they head up to México, where zé introduces donald to another one of his former patients and now paramours: panchito gonzález!!!
as you’ll come to learn, these guys move pretty fast. they travel, and begin to realize they complement eachother really well. yknow what guys do when they complement eachother?
that’s right! they start a band! enter Los Tres Caballeros!
some deviation in my verse is that LTC are actually met with decent fame when they begin to travel and tour. I mean. just look at how much people love them in real life.
anyway, they tour and travel. like i said, they move fast, but there’s never really an official decree of “we’re dating now”. it’s a seamless transition from kissing only onstage, to kissing on and off stage, to. yknow. to getting married.
that’s right they get unofficially married. in ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. they’re so gross btw. but just a year and a half after their like. three weddings. donald learns his sister is pregnant. he knows he has to go back. he has to. so he bids farewell José and Panchito, only expecting to be gone a few months. he’s got some money saved up from touring, but that’s going to run out soon because—
della goes missing. in this verse, not on the moon. she attempts to fly around the pacific and crashes on some remote island. they look and look, but she moves too much and they can’t find her.
here’s where things are more canon-compliant: donald and Scrooge get in a massive blowout fight, donald is kicked out. with della presumed dead, he becomes the sole guardian of Huey, Dewey, and Louie. he buys a houseboat and docks in the eastern duffburg marina and calls Zé and Paco to tell them he won’t be coming back. they show up at his door three days later.
Zé and Panchito stick around for as long as they can manage, helping raise the boys for the first year and a half of their lives. but with looming money issues and visa expirations, they have to go back to rio. there, they juggle money, touring, family, travel, and visas in an attempt to get back to donald. back in Duffburg, Donald juggles money, jobs, kids that seem to grow in number by the day, some less than friendly family and friends, and a lot of loneliness.
this is a sad ending wow. don’t worry though, things get happier!!! you’ll just have to ask and see :)
any questions about timeline? other characters (three cabs related or otherwise)? inspirations? endings or other random details? i dunno. like. aesthetics or motifs. (PLEASE ask me about their aesthetics and motifs) ask box is always open!!!
what if i told you you have more similarities to your alternate versions than you thought. what if i told you the only thing that’s different is the thing that matters the most.
Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.
have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.
and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.
black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.
if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.
This is Juneteenth.
white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
when laszlo says "you dont have to say anything whatever it is i believe you" and then the next scene when rick says "i wouldn't believe you no matter what you said" AAAAAA!!!!
