10 & 18 for the bts fic writing ask!
Thank you for asking! ^-^
Do you enjoy writing dialogue, exposition, or plot the most?
That can depend on which part I have thought through the most, but usually I have more fun writing dialogues.
What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.
This one is so hard to choose aaaa
But I think I’ll go with this one, from chapter 5 of Whatever Happened To Dewey Duck:
Some seconds passed in silence until, all of a sudden, Dewey started to laugh. A dry, sad laugh.
“The ship was so unprepared that it doesn’t even have a guide, and I still took it,” more laughs, because this is the kind of situation where you laugh so you don't cry. “Oh me of two years ago, why were you so dumb?” and then, a heavy sigh.
When Dewey looked at the camera again, his regret was as clear as the tears hanging on the corner of his eye.
“I’m sorry, Huey. Louie. You guys were right, and I should have listened.” He rested his arms on the panel, getting closer the camera. “Uncle Scrooge, I’m sorry for stealing the Spear. This was the stupidest thing I ever did, and I pay for it every day I’m stuck here instead of at home with you guys… and the kids,” Dewey sniffed, but the mention of his babies was able to bring a tiny smile to his face. “I hope you guys are alright. I miss you all so much.”
And well, that was it. Dewey put everything out of his chest, and at the same time his heart was still aching, he felt a lot better too. He hadn’t even noticed that he had been burying these feelings inside him for so long.
Releasing one more sigh, this time a relieved one, Dewey laid back on his chair- and the lights of the shelter went off.
“Aw, c’mon!” He exclaimed, frustrated. “Can’t I have one bit of LUCK?!” Aiming the button to turn on the lights on the panel, Dewey raised a fist and smashed it.
It was a secret compartment.
Pulling the hidden drawer out of the wall, Dewey's heart missed a beat, his eye widening in both hope and fear of hoping. But as he took the thick book in his hands, the words “Owner’s Manual” big and bright on the cover, there was no way that it wasn’t real.
He had the manual to rebuild the Spear of Selene.
This is a scene I really enjoyed writing and, honestly, one of my favorite additions in the Gen Swap AU so far.
Whatever Happened to Della Duck is in my top 3 episodes, but although we see Della making the possible and impossible to try to go back to her family, we never see regreating the actions that got her stuck on the Moon in the first place.
I wanted to show Dewey doing it. Stealing that rocket was the worst mistake he ever made and he hates his past self for making it.
But also another thing that I love in this scene, is that it’s when Dewey hits the bottom of the bottom and finally admits his defeat, that he’s able to find the Spear’s manual. As if a powerful force was saying “okay, you understood what you did wrong, you can start fixing this mistake now”. It’s me, I’m the force lol
And I think this is it! Thanks a lot for your ask ^-^
