On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?

*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)

*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)

(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )

(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)

One thing I noticed is how Matilda still refers to her brother as "Scroogey" despite refusing to see him in ages. She doesn't go "that fella" or "your uncle" or just "Scrooge" like many would do.

Gotta ask, how do you think Ezekiel responds to being given flowers?

Connie knows he’s not as experienced in courtship and relationships, and wants to give him the full romantic experience (which he also gives her in return in many ways). This includes doing things for him that his former partner never did.

One time, while they’re courting, I can see her surprising him with a bouquet at his flat. It’s tied with a ribbon and a locket charm. Daisies for loyalty, lilies for unconditional love, and carnations for gratitude and fascination.

“I-I took a carriage out to the country and picked flowers I thought you’d like. Not everything is in season, so I asked a florist for help with the others! I, um, hope you find it to your liking.”

It’s obvious she wants him to feel loved and treasured, but is just a wee bit shy. That fear of rejection from Orin would rear its head. “I-I’ve never bought flowers for another person before. I’m sorry if I could have done better.”

Awwwww, Connie.🥹 Spoil your shy knight, girl yes!

This idea is actually so cute. Ezekiel has definitely never received flowers before. He's never really been romanced at all before. His ex was all about him treating and spoiling her, not the other way around. So flowers are a pleasant... shock.

I definitely see him staring in dumbfounded silence upon sight of the flowers. Connie's explanation causes the cute Scroogey blush to creep across his face and up his ears. His eyes probably shine with a little moisture and his lips curl ever so slightly into a smile. "No, no, Connie," he assures her. "Y-You did... wonderfully. I-I-I just... I've never rece-ceived flowers before. And I love flowers. Growing up, a florist and his wife would let me hide in their greenhouse from my bullies. They taught me so much about the plants they grew. Carnations were the wife's favorite, and they became mine too."

He tenderly touches the flowers before turning back to Connie and taking her into his arms. He's losing his hesitation with her, becoming ever more comfortable with touching her and holding her close, letting his hands rest easy around her waist, maybe a tad lower. "Thank you, Constance. I-I don't deserve thoughtful treatment. Such romance."

That locket charm certainly goes on his pocket chain, close to his heart with a portrait of Connie inside.💕

Compare/Contrast of Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws And Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt

Ok. Here I’ll be doing a compare/contrast between Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws and Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt. It occurred to me that those 2 duos have quite a bit in common but are also a bit different. Also, Spoiler Alert for the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie and the DuckTales (2017) TV series. With that out of the way, let’s dive right in.

Both members of both duos were in love with each other but they also had trust issues. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws were in love with each other but they had trust issues since Puss didn’t show up for his and Kitty’s wedding. And as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt were in love with each other but they had trust issues since during all their previous encounters, Goldie would usually stab Scrooge in the back. Another similarity between them here is that both duos were able to overcome their distrust during an encounter that had something to do with prolonging a person’s life. For Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws, there was the encounter they had while searching for the Wishing Star which Puss wanted in order to restore his other 8 lives as also shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie where Puss eventually put his desire for the Wishing Star aside and even offered it to Kitty. And for Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt, there was the encounter they had while searching for the Fountain Of The Foreverglades which Scrooge and Goldie wanted in order to stay young as shown in the episode ‘The Forbidden Fountain Of The Foreverglades!’ where, after realizing that would mean taking other peoples’ youth away, Scrooge put his desire for it aside and Goldie later followed suit when she sacrifice the youth she gained from it to save Scrooge. The difference between them there, though, is whether one or both of them wanted to prolong their lives and how their desire for it could’ve effected their relationship. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, only Puss wanted the Wishing Star to prolong his lives and tried to use it for himself to do so which almost resulted in Kitty severing all ties with him since she figured that meant that Puss still loved himself more than he loved her. As shown in the episode ‘The Forbidden Fountain Of The Foreverglades!’, both Scrooge and Goldie wanted the Fountain Of The Foreverglades to stay young forever since, as Goldie said: “We spent our whole lives at each other’s throats, Scroogey. But what if we can do it over again knowing everything we know now, avoiding the same mistakes. This is our chance at a fresh start.” So, in the case of Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws, one of them almost pushed the other away to prolong his life whereas, in the case of Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt, both of them at first wanted to prolong their lives to live with each other forever.

Both duos have a member who really loves adventure. For Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws, there was Puss In Boots who, as shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, got really excited while he was fighting several guards and also a rampaging giant. And for Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt, there was Scrooge McDuck who, as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, got really excited while he was fighting to help get the Papyrus Of Binding. Another similarity between them there is that both Puss In Boots and Scrooge McDuck, for a time, quit adventuring after a traumatic event. As also shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Puss, for a time, quit adventuring after his ninth and last life was almost ended by Death themselves. And as shown in the episode ‘Woo-oo!’, Scrooge, for a time, quit adventuring after, as shown in the episode ‘The Last Crash Of The Sunchaser!’, his niece Della Duck was lost in space. The difference between them there, though, is that Puss quit after he almost lost his last life whereas Scrooge quit after he lost a loved one. Another difference between them here is what got them back on their feet in the end. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Puss overcame his fear of death by facing off against Death themselves and learning to not take his life for granted. And as shown in the episode ‘Woo-oo!’, Scrooge got back on his feet after his great nephews motivated him to go out adventuring again and also, as shown in the episode ‘The Shadow War Part 1: The Night Of De Spell!’, Scrooge later finally overcame the trauma from the loss of his niece after Lena made him realize just how amazing his family is and to not push them away. Another similarity between them there is that they both, along the way, learned to not push the people around them away. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Puss learned to not push the people around him like Kitty and Perrito away. And as I already pointed out, Scrooge learned to not push the people around him like his family away. The difference between them there is what this had to do with their adventures. As also shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Puss was so caught up with himself and his adventures that he didn’t show up for his and Kitty’s wedding. And as also shown in the episode ‘The Shadow War Part 1: The Night Of De Spell!’, Scrooge was so depressed in the aftermath of losing his family that he couldn’t take care of his home let alone go out adventuring. So, Puss was too caught up with his adventures to focus on the people around him whereas Scrooge was too caught up with losing his family to focus on his adventures.

Both duos had a member who is a very skilled thief. For Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws, there’s Kitty Softpaws who, as shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, snuck into Big Jack Horner’s factory and was able to swipe the map to the Wishing Star from Puss In Boots in the middle of a fight. And for Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt, there’s Goldie O’Gilt who, as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, outwitted Scrooge McDuck and Flintheart Glomgold and took the liquid gold from the Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains. Another similarity between them is that they both had problems that had something to do with trustworthiness. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Kitty had a lot of trouble trusting others which is why she wanted to make a wish with the Wishing Star to finally have someone she can trust. And as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Scrooge had a lot of trouble trusting Goldie due to her constantly stabbing him in the back. The difference between them there, though, is that Kitty had trouble trusting other people whereas Goldie had trouble being trusted by other people. Another similarity between Kitty and Goldie is that they both also crossed paths with a young kid who they formed a bond with and took under their wing despite their problems with trustworthiness. For Kitty Softpaws, there was Perrito as shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie where Kitty eventually befriended Perrito despite her being initially skeptical about his trustworthiness. And for Goldie O’Gilt, there was Louie Duck as shown in the episode ‘Happy Birthday Doofus Drake!’ where Goldie put herself at risk to save Louie despite initially stabbing him in the back and also where Louie, in turn, saved her despite his own doubts about her motives. The difference between them there is that Kitty looked past her trust issues to befriend Perrito whereas Goldie looked past her selfishness to save Louie which caused Louie to look past his distrust to save her in turn. Also, another similarity between them there is that they both taught them how to con and trick others. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Kitty helped teach Perrito how to do cute puppy dog eyes just like how her and Puss do their cute cat eyes. And, as shown in the episode ‘Happy Birthday Doofus Drake!’, Goldie helped teach Louie how to expose other peoples’ cons in order to gain another person’s trust. The difference between them there, though, is what Perrito and Louie used those skills for. As also shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Perrito used those skills to distract Jack Horner since he just wanted to help Puss and Kitty whereas, as also shown in the episode ‘Happy Birthday Doofus Drake!’, Louie used those skills to try to get Doofus Drake’s gift bags along with Goldie since he wanted to get rich quick. I’ll be going over Perrito and Louie more in my next point. Speaking of which…

Both members of both duos had an encounter with a young kid who they practically took in and who accompanied and helped them on their adventures. For Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws, there’s Perrito who, as shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, helped Puss and Kitty find the Wishing Star and the 3 of them formed a team called Team Friendship. And for Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt, there’s Louie Duck who, as shown in the episode ‘Woo-oo!’, Scrooge took in and who started accompanying Scrooge along with the rest of his family on adventures and also who, as shown in the episode ‘Happy Birthday Doofus Drake!’ and as I already pointed out in my previous point, Goldie took under her wing and formed a bond with. The difference between them here is what kind of outlooks Perrito and Louie generally had. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Perrito had a pretty optimistic outlook and he was also a bit oblivious even during some dire situations whereas, as shown in the episode ‘The Most Dangerous Game…Night!’, Louie had a pretty pessimistic outlook and he was also pretty smart to the point that he was able to “see all the angles” in a situation. Another similarity between them is that, in the case of both duos, Perrito and Louie respectively helped them look past their differences and work together in some way shape or form. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish, Perrito counseled Puss about what happened between him and Kitty which caused to see how selfish and cowardly he was for not showing up for his and Kitty’s wedding. And, as shown in the episode ‘The Forbidden Fountain Of The Foreverglades!’, seeing Louie trapped helped get Goldie to turn around and help Scrooge when she could’ve just escaped with the youth water. The difference between them here is that Perrito helped Puss and Kitty knowingly whereas Louie helped Scrooge and Goldie inadvertently. Another similarity between them is that both Perrito and Louie helped Puss and Scrooge respectively become more humble. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Perrito’s friendship and aforementioned counseling with Puss helped Puss realize that despite his legendary status as a brave hero, he was actually a coward for not showing up for his and Kitty’s wedding since he was afraid of what committing to someone might mean for his status as a legend. And as shown in the episode ‘The Richest Duck In The World!’, when Louie got the Bombie to stop attacking by learning to be humble, it helped Scrooge be more humble too since he then lifted the Bombie’s curse off himself. The difference between them there is that Perrito helped teach Puss the lesson about humility whereas Louie and Scrooge both learned the lesson about humility together. Also, one more difference between them is that, as shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Perrito is perfectly content with his life just the way it is which is why he didn’t have a wish he wanted to make with the Wishing Star whereas, as shown in the episode ‘Storkules In Duckburg!’, Louie wasn’t completely content with his life which is why he wanted to become rich.

Well, that’s all for this post.

See you all next time.

Scrooge: Glomgold, is this really necessary?

Glomgold: Yes it is, you worthless, thankless ingrate! I can't believe that you--

Matilda: Alright, gentlemen, let's calm it down. Take a deep breath... *inhales* Good. Now, Flintheart, let's address the issue.

Glomgold: The issue. The issue, is that I dedicated me whole life to be his greatest challenge! And what does he do? He goes to that two-bit sorceress for it!

Scrooge: Well, I don't see how that's--

Matilda: Scroogey, hold on, this is Glomgold's turn. Now, how did that make you feel, Flintheart?

Glombgold: It made me feel hurt... Made me feel inadequate... Like I'm not good enough.

Scrooge: Oh, Flinty, don't be like that. It was just a one time thing. Glomgold: WAS IT, MCDUCK?! 'Cause last time I checked, you were about to go find some magic treasure hidden in Transylvania that's sure to alert Magica again.

Scrooge: Well, sure, but--

Glomgold: SEE! THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Scrooge: Flintheart, c'mon. You tried to bring down my plane in my new expedition to El Dorado last week.

Glomgold: Yeah, well, I bet you would try to survive much harder if Magica were there!

Scrooge: That's not fair, I--

Matilda: Alright, let's not get too off topic. Scroogey, tells us: Why did you decide to go on an adventure that was sure to attract Magica.

Scrooge: *sighs* De Spell is... I dunno. She just... does things, y'know? Things you can't. I can't go through life only knowing the same thing day in day out.

Glomgold: OH, THERE IT IS! After fifteen years, I just don't excite you anymore, Is that is?!

Scrooge: You know, Goldie wasn't like this when you came along.

Glomgold: Oh. So that's what this is now, huh?

Matilda: Now, Flintheart, nobody is saying you aren't Scrogey's rival anymore.

Glombold: NO! I want to hear it from him!

Scrooge: *nervously* I-I mean...

[owladaptive]

On the topic of Mcduck Addams (love the art btw), is Magica De Spell still herself because she's outside of the family? (actolly, is anyone outside of the household “normal” or are there exceptions…) And if she is, would she be acquaintances with the unhinged family or would they be rivals, or perhaps she has a one sided rivalry with Scrooge because he can't take her seriously. Him viewing Magicas murder attempts as fun challenges, there's nothing like having an acid bath in the morning.

Also! Speaking of ducks with an affinity for magic, Morgana Macawber also has a family similar to the whole “Adam's aesthetic”, so you know I'd think the two broods would get along or at least be on the same level. Another duck that came to mind when thinking about the macabre lifestyle was Count Duckula (1988). But I can't imagine him being very thrilled to meet any of the other families due to his nature. He already has enough trouble trying to stop Igor from killing anyone himself, and don't even get him started on his own “family”.

Thank you for the question, and I can answer some of it! I unfortunately do not know nearly enough about the wider realm of Disney Ducks such as Morgana or Duckula to be able to give a fair representation. Perhaps in future, I will. (I've been planning on watching through DW, at least)

But I have answers for Magica!

Dear Aunt Magica is the same, at least from the beginning of her first chronological appearance, as in canon. A delightedly, indulgently ruthless magic user terrorizing a town into giving her everything she asks for with her brother Poe. However when this Scrooge appeared, things transpired differently.

Scroogey was there for the gold of course, but respected their tyranny without bending to their whims. He has a lot of fun in the fight - death or a fate even worse was just a blast of magic away! Inevitably somewhere in the middle of his dodging and ducking and rolling (taking playful swipes at her with the sword hidden in his cane all the while) Magica hits Poe. He's a crow now, poor Magica.

But Poe doesn't get to fly through the window. Scrooge watched and listened to Magica plead and beg for her dear brother to change back already, and was struck by empathy. Scrooge adores his family, higher than he adores the call of adventure or gold or thrill of death, and so extends a hand of understanding to Magica in her time of grief and desperation. With Poe snatched from the air by Scrooge's hand, Magica is bound by a debt of begrudging gratitude, that becomes less begrudging when Scrooge opens to her and promises to do whatever he can to help her figure out how to get her brother back to normal.

It all culminates in Magica making nigh-annual visits to the mansion many years later - a sort of wacky wine-aunt for Donald and Della and, later still, to the boys and Webby too. She's a figure of mischief and darkness, the tragic Poe perched on her shoulder and her maniacal laugh filling the halls before she jets off on another whirlwind into the wide world. The McDucks had taught her how to love again - how to accept her new reality with grace without ever quite giving up on her brother.

And like with Beakley, Magica was influenced by the family-oriented ways displayed before her over a period of many years, and does bring Lena into the world from her shadow just like in canon.

Okay, this is going to be a little wild, but stay with me.

WHAT IF, in the DNDverse, BOTH Adonis and Wolf were Ebenezer Scrooge, it's just that one of them came through a portal from Victorian London to that world?

I’ve been turning this question in my brain like a rotisserie and cooking it all day.

It’s kind of a mind-bender, because they are both LITERALLY the same guy in every universe. Sometimes they’re twins, sometimes brothers, sometimes it’s the future, sometimes the past, but both these gentlemen come from the exact same blueprint.

SO, for that whole concept to become reality in that one of them is from Victorian London and find their way into this world is fascinating.

I’m torn between him just kind of no-clipping into the dimension, or it’s some portal system like the Ghosts used with him, and he’s kind of deposited there. Then for him to see that there is a version of himself in this universe? Man thinks he’s seen it all, only to get another curveball.

I have so many questions - what about the universe/people he leaves behind? WHICH one comes from the Victorianverse? Is this a Kagome situation, where he’s going back and forth, or is he stuck? And, of course, HOW do both Scroogey-poos meet?

I am seated for this convo - I love this idea and giving the DnDverse some more teeth.

[quill-pen]

Oooh, @rom-e-o, remember when we talked about what Scrooge would look like in my idea for an ACC/B&tB retelling? Specular gives me such vibes.

'Beauty' is correct

Also I've been drawing his side profile wrong this whole timeeee

[skeilig]

my sister basically interacts with ebenezer scrooge as her imaginary friend (sentences that have never been said before) and she was just choosing between 2 shirts, one that says london on it and one that has mickey mouse on it and she chose mickey mouse and said "scroogey likes mickey mouse" and I was like. well. if we're using that logic... he'd probably be partial to london, no?
