Now, let's talk about Drakepad. Can we talk about Drakepad, please? I've been dying to talk about Drakepad all year, OK! Sometimes I can't help but wonder if Drake and Launchpad were suppost to become a couple in the Ducktales reboot.

Like, you got that leaked concept art from the Darkwing spinoff (I guess it's okey to post this? It's long been dead if Disney even considered picking it up at all.) where Launchpad clearly has his hand on Drake's shoulder, but it looks like Drake's got his hand on LP's back. And I say Launchpad and not Gosalyn because if it was on/ around Gos we'd likely see his hand on her head or her shoulder which it very clearly is not.

This pitch likely predates TDKR and if I were to guess when it was pitched it'd of likely been sometime in 2018? Possibly even earlier judging by Drake's design as it's still pretty early. (Plus LP's bio in the pitch bible having big (and literal) "let's pick out curtains" energy.)

And then you got this excerpt from the bonus book of the deluxe edition of the Ducktales artbook where it talks about those romantic secret side adventures Launchpad has that we never got to see, and then mentions him meeting Drake as one of these aforementioned side adventures.

And then you got this Gay-ass moment from TDKR.

And the scene of them holding hands with Drake making goo-goo eyes that was intended by the storyboarder to be romantic.

And LP returning the favor in the finale.

The symbolism of the "go to them" scene, as well as how he puts his hand over his heart because of Drake.

Side note: He did this in the original show too.

Not to mention Launchpad's canonically Bi (though they never got to explore this in the show itself).

But even if they were, there's like no way Disney would of allowed it considering how pissed they were about Penumbra being a Lesbian (forcing them to censor it in a way that makes it seem like she's just racist (Speciesist? Planetist?)). And considering how Disney's been trying to reboot Darkwing Duck there problobly would of been the thought "Well if we make them Queer in this then we'd have no choice but to make them Queer in every adaption after that" and Disney has been notoriously anti-Queer when it comes to media (That we even got The Owl House feels like a miracle in and of itself.) and now with actual fucking anti-Queer terrorism on the rise in America especially, and Project 2025 on the horizon, the higher ups are cowards at best, that is if they don't agree with the terrorists themselves (okey I'm getting on a bit of a tangent here, sorry!)

IDK did I miss something? It's like almost 4AM and I can't sleep (if that wasn't obvious).

Anyways when I said that this is what it feels like to ship Drakepad I was not exaggerating or joking.

No but this staggered releasing of spoilers/content from set is very intriguing. It never all comes out at once. Just when we are getting over the last instalment there’s something new to keep us talking about season 4. Even things that were obviously captured on the same day comes out days/weeks later. I swear nobody ever knows who the original source is either. It just appears on twitter magically and people share it around social media.

Conspiracy Corner Part 3:

Admittedly, this is less a “I have a theory backed by ScIeNce™!!!” and more a “Huh, wouldn’t this be cool?”:

I was thinking about the whole “Nine Eyes” thing and like, I know people in the chat keep insisting Lucien’s a Beholder or something but I looking at it…the Somnovem are powerful wizards right? These nine wizards that ruled this one ward. So, what if instead of the nine eyes being a monster thing, it was instead…a magic thing? Each of the Somnuvem couple be powerful in one of the schools of magic. We know that there are some references to dunamancy in Aeor so, let’s say one of the Somnovem is into that and now, adding all of the schools together you have……

Nine schools of magic.

Nine. Schools. Of. Magic.

Nine.

Nine.

A few of Lucien’s abilities seem to hint at some magic relationship, and I can already see at least two connections with Abjuration and Enchantment (maybe Illusion). Lucien can deal a massive amount of psychic damage, which would fit with Enchantment or Illusion, and he can also dispel a ton of shit and has that cone of: “Fuck Your Magic”, which is abjuration.

I think we need to see more fights with Lucien to see if this is even remotely possible (and that his abilities don’t just tie in to his Blood Hunter class), but also, it would be pretty sick.

Over the Garden Wall played me so hard when the main characters weren’t 1600′s ass pilgrim children

All or Nothing needed at least one feel-good episode. I call corruption by Amazon. Sounds like something they would do.

Examination: Shouto Todoroki

Hello and welcome to the Conspiracy Corner. Today I was wondering how, like physically, can Shouto's quirk work?

Okay, we have the ice and the fire, but where do they come from? First of all, fire is a chemical reaction, so does Shouto's body secrete a chemical, a little like Bakugo's sweat, and its oxygen-reactive, so it lights on fire on contact with the air? So, that could be how his fire works, because apparently in the mha universe people can sweat chemicals and exist, so what about the ice? 

So the ice cant just appear out of nowhere, because matter cannot be created or destroyed, just changed into a different form, (law of conservation of matter) So where is the ice coming from? (and i'm pretty sure that we are still dealing with most of the basic natural physics 200 or so years in the future) How does he make the ice? We all know that when air is cooled enough, the water vapor, or even carbon dioxide gas can turn into ice too. *more on this later* So, we know that there is water vapor in the air, so we could assume that Shouto's body could release some sort of super-coolant to cool the water vapor in the air around him, kinda like his fire powers may secrete an ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species, a term used in chemistry for a chemical/element that reacts with oxygen) But! The amount of water vapor in the air is miniscule, less than 0.5% of the total amount of air we have (the other parts being 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.4% carbon dioxide, 0.4% water vapor, the remaining 2% are other things in the air) So he couldn’t use this hypothetical coolant to do much to the air around him. However, there is another solution! Carbon dioxide gas, as mentioned earlier, can also be transformed directly into ice, called dry ice. But it has to be at least -109 degrees F (-78 degrees C) for that to even begin forming, also its so cold and dry that upon contact human skin will go into extreme shock, kinda like a super-severe frostbite and shrivel up, because the moisture from your skin is soaked up by the ice, hence the name~ so its unlikely that Shouto can, or will use the small amounts of carbon dioxide in the air for his ice powers. Also if he actually did, then his body would need a better countermeasure than just his fire to help him deal with the shock of the dry-ice frost that may form on his skin if he uses his power this way. So, with not many materials to use, how does Shouto make his G I G A N T I C structures?? another explanation for his powers could be that ice expands when formed, but the amount that Shouto has demonstrated is just off the charts. there doesn't seem to be a plausable explanation of how Shouto is able to create his ice. On the other hand, what if he is not actually "creating" ice? Now, I don’t know about the technicalities of all the quirks out there, but this theory of him being able to supercool the air around him is not seeming likely. But, what if his quirk was something else entirely? 

For example, we have seen moments of Shouto seeming to try to call on deeper strength/power from within himself to release his fire as seen during the battles between class 1-a and 1-b in season 5 (volumes 21 and 22, the matches starting near the end of chapter 194) And with his ice during the movie "Heroes: Rising" where he defeats an enemy using extreme cold to freeze him still. This power from within could be a little like Fa Jin (OFA third user's quirk) where kinetic energy is stored or harbored within, and released at a chosen time. Only where Shouto could draw his power from the potential energy of a situation and releases it through extreme cold or heat. I think that this potential energy could be stored for later, and so when shouto tries even harder to heat or cool things, he can force himself to release even more of that energy. However, i'm not exactly sure about this theory either, its almost fully dependant on the basis of another quirk that we know very little about. so, with my previous theory about his fire quirk, he secreted a ROS to light himself on fire. but how does he not catch on fire then? blood is highly comprised of oxygen, so it would be dangerous to have a material reactive to yourself- and not to speak of how he manages to spread it and keep it burning for so long, even on concrete structures, and when the fire is even far away from him seems to roar up as he tries harder to use his quirk too, (demonstrated in his battle in season 5) So is he pyrotelekenetic? (The telepathic ability to control fire, in this case, perhaps just the fire he makes) This seems to explain a bit to me, but there still is the issue of how he creates his fire in the first place. does he even secrete a substance to aid this chemical reaction? If not, then how can he make the fire come to life at his will? does the fire come from the energy within him? If so, then how is it released so suddenly and dramatically? How is this internal energy transformed into heat energy? s i g h, there are too many questions, my friends, and not enough answers, so, I leave you with these theories. Should anyone have any thoughts on this or other ideas, i would enjoy revisiting the topic.

If Glitch Techs has a birthday ruiner, then surely Ralphie Bear is Back made it clear that it would be Miko, right? We know that she attacked Ralphie on the night of his last performance, after all.

What if I told you that Phil, the leader of our intrepid Glitch Techs, looked mighty suspicious through that entire episode? What if I told you that he even looked... Guilty.
