some angella headcanons, for everyone’s favorite dead mom
- while immortal, she’s also very young - probably not much older than micah
- she was actually pushed into a political marriage with micah, but ended up falling in love so it all worked out
- she, micah, and castaspella would have been the original best friend squad
- loves tea, but she doesn’t even really drink it? she just likes the warm mug in her hands and the smell.
- she was the type of mom who doesn’t really understand a lot of lgbt terminology but she is 100% supportive regardless. she was the first adult bow came out to as trans, and the first person (besides bow) that glimmer came out to as bi.
I’m just kidding! I really love the sibling relationship that Ivy and Zack have! They were great in season 1, but it kind of felt like their traits were slightly over-exaggerated so the audience could more quickly get a feel for their personalities. Ivy’s annoyance at Zack’s antics, and Zack’s comical incompetence, seemed to level out in season 2. They felt stronger as a brother-sister duo, less on each other’s nerves all the time. They’re the only family they have and they constantly look out for each other. It’s very sweet!
I also love that they aren’t above adopting a found family in people like Carmen and Player and now Shadowsan. They treat those closest to them like they are family as well. They share a special bond with each other because they’ve been on their own for who knows how long, but they absolutely appreciate Carmen taking them under her wing and care about her like she was directly related. They’ve got each other, and until she found them, Carmen only had Player - good company but, she’s never met him. So yeah, I love the familial bonds Ivy and Zack share, as well as the one they have with Carmen.
11. Who deserves more development and appreciation from the show and fandom?
Hmmm prior to season 2 I would have probably said Julia (I mean, I wouldn’t say no to seeing more of her, but we got some great Julia moments in S2).
I think we could stand to see more of Dr. Bellum! Her strong suit is gadgets/machinery/sciences, so it’d be interesting to know how she got her start in that and made it on to V.I.L.E. faculty. I mean, we know the organization is evil, but Bellum is literally willing to starve an entire nation to make a buck like… that is NEXT level! That’s not just theft of material items, that’s livelihoods and families. What brought her to such a point that she has so very little regard for human life? Wild.
As for the fandom, I hope we just keep appreciating Carmen herself because this fandom is so small. I see lot of love for the V.I.L.E. operatives and people making V.I.L.E.-sonas and there’s nothing wrong with that! But the leading lady could use more love as well.
12. Which character do you relate to the most?
Probably Julia! She’s just trying to make her way in the world and do good and be a good person. She’s working on her confidence and in all honesty, is more competent than she or anyone else gives her credit for. She’s definitely not a perfect agent, she’s not as seasoned as everyone else, but she continually thinks for herself. She also relies on her intuition and inner feelings about others when deciding who to trust. She is very detailed oriented and focused on facts, and I think that helps her to know almost instantly who she can and can’t trust.
14. What part of Carmen Sandiego makes you emotional?
Two things.
One, found family. When Zack and Ivy put up the nesting dolls and asked Carmen if it felt like home like… Carmen had to leave everything she knew behind when she left V.I.L.E. All the people she considered her family. The only place she’d ever called home. As a kid, those things are wicked important to a person, so Carmen turning her back on all of it probably hit hard. The fact that she was able to find some companions on her very first caper was pure kismet and confirmation that they were meant to work together and become friends.
Secondly, the look on Julia’s face when A.C.M.E. showed up RIGHT AFTER she told Carmen she could trust her! And then how Carmen looked at her when she was dying in the woods with that betrayed expression! And how sad Julia looked because she had to have felt responsible for luring Carmen into a false sense of security even though she had no idea A.C.M.E. was going to pull a fast one! I feel very strongly about that entire situation.
Third (wait, what?) (okay last one), when Zack asked Player who he was supposed to support when Ivy and Carmen were both in like completely opposite directions and neither were answering so both were probably in trouble and Player had this brief look of sadness and hesitation before telling Zack to go get his sister? Carmen is Player’s first friend and he knew she was out in the woods alone and had no idea of her condition. But he also knew Ivy was in trouble and that Ivy and Zack only had each other. He understands the bond they share. Player, from what we learned, has a family outside of all the Team Carmen stuff, but, Carmen is still extremely important to him. Him having to make the choice was such a grown up task for him and showed such maturity when he chose for Zack to get Ivy. I imagine he told Zack that Carmen could take care of herself in large part because he was trying to assure himself of the same thing.
16. What can be done better in the show?
Well, apparently some of the facts in CS aren’t accurate if what I’ve read on Tumblr is correct, so, I would say that.
BUT, as for my personal opinion, I feel like A.C.M.E. should have been smarter.
It was fine, in season 1, for Chase to be a sort of rogue agent, a part of Interpol, but still playing by his own rules. That was his whole schtick. A seasoned cop, hot on the heels of a criminal. And his attractive and competent partner who is constantly overlooked. Sure. It worked.
A.C.M.E., from the get-go, plays itself up like this big secret organization no one has ever heard of. And Julia finds them behind an unlocked door in a parking garage. Not only that, but it seems like A.C.M.E. has access to all law enforcement resources around the world, and in fact, has authority over them. Now how could they be a secret organization and have that kind of power?
Rather than attempting to look at facts or closely examine Carmen Sandiego’s motives, they just decide she’s a part of V.I.L.E. Despite them, first off, not having solid proof of its existence because its activities and members have kept themselves hidden for well over 20 years. You’ve been searching for information on V.I.L.E. for two decades and you decide this person who works very much out in the open and makes themselves known to the public eye is a part of a stealthy crime organization? Yeah, that makes sense.
Julia had solid evidence that Carmen was a good guy working on their side, and A.C.M.E. basically ignored it, the same way Chase had. Cool, way to go, you’re so much better and smarter than regular law enforcement. Even after Julia worked WITH Carmen and saved the Medici dresses (which you’d think would be nearly irrefutable proof), going so far as to put Julia in charge while she took the brunt of the danger on herself, A.C.M.E. still wasn’t convinced. Really?
Julia suggested they get Carmen to join their side, and Chief agreed - then blew the whole meeting and almost killed Carmen, their closest connection to V.I.L.E.! Just… wow.
Now Chief is like, catching Carmen Sandiego is our top priority! Forget V.I.L.E.! Okay??? You’ve been chasing this organization for 20 years and now you’re giving it up because you’re mad? Talk about a rash decision. Seriously, Chief should be IMPRESSED that Carmen was able to hack into A.C.M.E.’s system and congratulate her. Carmen outsmarted her like it was nothing, and she’d be a much more valuable ally than an enemy.
No wonder it took them this long to even find out V.I.L.E. exists for sure.
2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod - Rocketman by Elton John (not like the style she’d normally go for but the song just really chokes her up but like I’m also kinda projecting a little), OBVIOUSLY she’d have Stand out by Powerline, maybe I’m just Projecting(TM) but i think she’d like the Halestorm cover of Bad Romance, honestly anything late 80s to early 90s she’d have it. Okay maybe random but she loves Smashmouth. She sings the song from shrek and the triplets loose their minds.
the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep – where they’re not supposed to - I feel like with her time on the moon, she probably has a hard time sleeping in an actual bed. The family finds her everywhere but her bed most of the times. The oddest was when she somehow wedged herself between artifacts in the garage and was sound asleep.
the game they'd destroy everyone else at - oh minecraft definitely. Feel like she’d get into pokemon too
the emoticon they’d use most often - ✈️
what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep - needs LOTS of snuggles. She spent too many sleepless nights alone. If she can’t sleep, at least she can be with people she cares about.
their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever. I definitely see her as a big coffee drinker with so much sugar and creamer its more that than actual coffee.
how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump - She hugs her boys or does that face caress thing with them bc just knowing they’re here and she’s here really grounds her.
what they wanted to be when they grew up - an adventurer of course!
their favorite kind of weather - I think she’d like early fall weather where its still pretty warm but not so much you’re sweating buckets all the time.
thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?) - in canon she has an amazing one imo so I think that settles it :3
how/what they like to draw or doodle - I think canon speaks for itself with this one too ;3
I am sending a lot of the writing prompts so you can pick which one inspires you the most.... soooooooo.... For Della and Penumbra, maybe one of these: 1, 3, 4, 13, 31, 41, 44, 50, 53, 57, 70, 79 (MFHKHGJFHFJGJFG)
“Please don’t tell me we’re lost.” Penny grumbled.
Della waved away the notion with a too-loud laugh, “Whaaat? Me, lost? Never!”
“Then why have we gone past that store with the defective helmets in it twice now?”
(finally done!)
“I know we’ve taken a few wrong turns, but I know that just around the corner is the coolest arcade you will ever see!” Della exclaimed.
“I still don’t know what an arcade is.” Penny sighed.
“You’re gonna love it! Come on!”
She grabbed Penny’s hand and dragged her right around the corner to find...them right back where they started. A few of the sales associates looked at the two women curiously. They soon dispersed at that endearing resting glare of Penny’s.
Della stared at the store and back the way they had came in disbelief. How could they be back here? She had been to this mall hundreds of times! The arcade was right next to the Micey’s clothing store.
“Er, this way!” Della said.
Della grabbed Penny’s hand once more and dragged her out of Micey’s and back into the main shopping area. The mall was bustling with shoppers shoving here and there. The overwhelming sights and sounds made the walls seem even closer to them. Just as the walls were almost close enough to consume Della, Penny spoke.
“Please don’t tell me we’re lost.” Penny grumbled.
Della waved away the notion with a too-loud laugh, “Whaaat? Me, lost? Never!”
“Then why have we gone past that store with the defective helmets in it twice now?”
A wave of embarrassment washed over Della. She had hoped Penny hadn’t noticed the Waddle store. Luck didn’t seem to be on her side today. She stopped in her tracks.
“First of all, that’s not a helmet. Those are headphones for listening to music with. The only protection you’ll get from them is protection from unwanted conversations,” Della said. “Second, we are not lost.”
Penny let out an annoyed huff. Worry momentarily crawled under Della’s skin. Penny was obviously not having a good time. What if they really were lost in the mall? Determination and Della’s usual optimism quickly replaced this initial worry. She was Della Duck for Pete’s sakes! She had fought monsters since she was in elementary school! No shopping mall was a match for her.
If she could just distract Penny long enough, she could find the arcade and be able to go back to Penny to bring her there. Della turned her attention to her friend. She was looking closely at a rooster bobbing his head in time to whatever song he was sampling on the Waddle headphones. He glanced upwards towards the window. He turned pale, ripped the headphones off, and scuttled away at the menacing leer of the Moon warrior.
“You seem really interested in that Waddle store.” Della said quickly. “Why don’t you go in and listen to some music?”
Della pushed Penny into the store and sat her down on one of the sleek barstools. She put the headphones over Penny’s head and pressed play on the music. “Stand Out” could faintly be heard coming through the headphones. Penny flinched at first, but soon relaxed.
Penny was now as still as a statue listening to Powerline. Could she hear anything outside the music? To test, Della snapped her fingers close to Penny’s head. Penny didn’t respond. Now was Della’s chance.
Della snuck out of the store and back into the bustling mall. If she could just retrace her steps, surely she could find the arcade!
Her feet made a steady clank and slap on the polished floor. She hummed the “Stand Out” quietly, keeping her head on a swivel for Micey’s. Once she had gotten back to there, she turned to face the mall.
“Okay, Della--you got this. You’ve been to this mall hundreds of times. Retrace your steps.” She said aloud.
She walked slowly out of Micey’s. The arcade was on the left, just past Bath and Body Borks. Instead of the loud dings and electric symphonies of an arcade, Della was met with heavy metal?
“That can’t be right.” Della muttered.
She walked into the store beside the strongly scented Bath and Body Borks. Heavy metal music pounded her eardrums and she was thrown into dim lighting. She covered her ears and moved between the overstuffed aisles of black clothing. Finally, she found herself at the checkout counter. The employee was decked out in oversized spikes and dark clothing. She had to squint to discern him from the rest of the store.
“CAN YOU POINT ME TOWARDS WILLY’S ARCADE?” She yelled.
“WHAT?” The employee yelled.
“CAN YOU POINT ME TOWARDS WILLY’S ARCADE?” She repeated.
“WILLY’S ARCADE? NEVER HEARD OF IT!”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF IT?!” Della cried. “IT USED TO BE RIGHT HERE!”
“THIS STORE’S BEEN HERE SINCE I WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, DUDE! I THINK IT WENT OUT!”
“WENT OUT?!” She cried incredulously. “I-IT WAS RIGHT HERE!”
“WHAT?”
Frustration built heavily within her chest. She traded the overcrowded goth store for the less-crowded mall. How could Willy’s be gone? That place was always overcrowded! Even the owner said that place would last the next decade.
Decade. The word felt like a threat. It was how long she had been trapped by the dusty prison of the Moon. Sure, some good came out of being stuck there for a decade, but everything that had happened still weighed heavy. She had been gone for so long and so much had changed...
The mall seemed to spin around her. She tugged at her scarf that was all too much like a boa constrictor around her throat. The voices around her amplified and the walls closed in. The mall was an ocean, and she was the ship being beaten by the waves. She mumbled incoherent words to herself in an effort to make sense of all this confusion.
“Della?” A voice that sounded underwater broke through the waves.
Penny voice brought Della back to the surface. Della turned to her friend, but couldn’t seem to get any words out. Penny’s eyes shifted to an emotion Della couldn’t quite read. She put her hand to the small of Della’s back and gently pressed her forward. Della numbly let her take the lead.
It took a moment for Della to register that they were outside the mall. Penny gently pressed her into a bench and left. Della nervously ran one hand over the other. She recalled some mindful exercises from her Junior Woodchuck handbook and began to repeat those.
By the time she had mostly calmed down, Penny had returned. In her hands was two cups of dippable Auntie Ant’s pretzels. Penny placed the cup of pretzel sticks and the accompanying cheese sauce in her hands.
Della couldn’t make eye contact for a moment, but did manage to utter a thank you. Penny grunted in response. For a moment, the two just sat on the bench overlooking the parking lot. A few cars hummed by, but it was otherwise quiet. A soft autumn breeze barely lifted the uneven chop of Della’s head feathers. She absently ate the pretzel, happy to have something to do with her mouth instead of talking.
The weight of the arcade closing was still heavy on her shoulders. She had hoped that going to the arcade would help Penny see some of the good things of Earth and to better adjust. It seemed Penny wasn’t the only one still trying to adjust.
“Sorry!” Della finally burst out. “I don’t know what happened back there!”
“Della--”
“I tried to find it, I really did!” She plowed on. “But some goth kid said it was closed. Closed! Can you believe it?”
“Della--”
“But there’s no way they’d close the arcade! But they did!”
“Della!”
Penny grabbed Della’s hands. The strong hands on her own made Della blush beneath her feathers.
“It’s okay,” Penny said slowly.
Della ran her free hand through her head feathers, “It’s just so frustrating! Everything’s so different now!”
Penny stayed silent. She awkwardly looked down to the cheese-covered pretzel stick in her hands. Della’s stomach sunk further. She was ruining everything again.
“All I wanted to do was show you one of my favorite Earth things, but...it’s gone.”
“Are...there no more arcades on Earth?” Penny asked tentatively.
“No, no. There’s plenty more. I think so, anyways.” Della laughed coldly. “It’s just...I guess sometimes I forget how much this place has changed since I’ve been gone.”
“I think I know how you feel.” Penny murmured.
Della looked over at her in surprise, “You do?”
“We were fighting some Moon Mites at the other end of the Moon. We were gone for so many cycles, I lost count. When we came back, everything seemed to have changed.”
“What did you do?” Della asked.
“I just tried to learn the new way, just as a warrior must adapt to new circumstances on the battlefield.” Penny paused a moment. “I’m not saying this will be easy for you, I certainly know I’m still getting used to your Earth things, but new things are always easier to tackle with your friends, right?”
Della’s heart fluttered. It had taken Penny awhile to even call her her roomie, but now here she was calling her friend! Della’s jaw dropped.
“Friends?”
“Of course!” Penny looked away, unable to hide the blush that was spreading. “Is that not what we are?”
A wide smile painted itself on Della’s face. She wrapped her arms around Penny’s waist. Penny awkwardly patted her back.
“Oh, Penny!” Della cried.
“Yeah, yeah,” Penny seemed to try and wave her own blush away, “Don’t make a big deal about it.”
That didn’t keep Della’s smile from widening to the point of aching. She jumped up to stand on the bench. The day was still young! One little hiccup couldn’t stop Della Duck!

My thoughts: its such a good ship i want it desperately to become canon i’ve never wanted a ship to become canon so badly before this is THE OTP for me.
What makes me happy about them: they care about each other sm and are already a family and are always trying to make the other be a better version of themselves
What makes me sad about them: that nagging negative feeling that theyll only be implied or never shown beyond platonic
Things done in fanfic that annoys me: tbh i can’t think of anything bc all the fics ive read of them are super sweet!! especially @/mighty-ant @/bassiter’s fics @/taylorthegiant@/transdarkwingduck(and some others but idk their tumblr urls)

For the headcanon ask meme, maybe.. Julia Argent, and also some Ducktales characters of your choice, if you want to!!!! :O
Send a character’s name to receive four different headcanonsJulia Argent:
Headcanon A: realistic: A down day for her means tea and a good book and a trip to a museum (she’s a regular at all the ones close to home)
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious: She actually didn’t need glasses as a kid. However, she thought it would make her look smarter to wear some, so she started wearing a pair. Wearing them screwed up her vision eventually, so now she actually needs glasses.
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends: She is actually super scared of cars because she lost a cousin of hers to a car wreck (driving with Chase is hell for her but she masks it well)
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own: (Dunno how unrealistic but i like it) She actually really likes silly puns, especially if they’re science puns.
Della Duck
Headcanon A: realistic: She flew her first plane when she was 10
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious: She’s actually a horrible driver. She can only fly planes. Let’s just say...she once let go of the wheel bc she’s used to the autopilot feature and accidentally hit someone’s car.
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends: She still has intense nightmares from her time alone on the moon :(
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own: Her and Gyro really do care about each other and are friends but the kind where you love to mess with each other
Thanks for the ask!!
