#Dingus mcduck

[desamatt]

The Duck Family Tree according to DuckTales 2017!

Some notes:

The characters with gray names (HDL's dad, Daphne Duck, Goosetave Gander, Eider Duck, Lulubelle Loon, Humperdink Duck, and Gertrude Gadwall) aren't 100% confirmed to exist in the canon of DT17, but can be inferred to for various reasons.

The images of the ones I just mentioned plus Pothole McDuck, Silas McDuck, Sir "Black" Donald McDuck, Sir Puft McDuck, Malcolm "Matey" McDuck, and Sir Quackly McDuck aren't from DT17, these characters were never shown physically in the show but I still wanted there to be something to look at.

Grandma Duck is only mentioned in the comics, which didn't have involvement from the creators of the show, but I decided to include her anyway because they said the comics only aren't canon in cases where they contradict the show.

The McDuck ancestors (aka the ones under Scrooge's grandparents) are in order from left to right acccording to the "Solving Mysteries and Rewriting History!" book. The only exception is Countess Agnes McDuck since we have no information of when she was alive, so I made the choice to place her between Eider and Quackly considering her Countess title, how she doesn't seem to know Murdoch and Agnes in the episode she appears, and how Eider appears to be the oldest recorded McDuck.

I accidentally mistyped Dewey's name, it should be "Dewford" instead of "Dewbert."

You absolute buffoon. You troglodyte. You've been swimming in your Scrooge McDuck money pool so long that whatever fucking brains you had are jammed with coins and its dribbling out of your gaping mouth you dingus. You are the moral equivalent of a leech and have brain capacity smaller than fucking whoville.

[louie-mcduck-official]

just had a thought

My immortal.starring dewey

"Hi my name is Dewey Dingus Dementia Mcduck and I have long white dewey hair (that's how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Darkwing duck(AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). "

Thoughts?

[queer-in-a-cornfield]

@story-blossom I’m your @duckblr-secret-santa! Sorry you’re getting your gift a little late, sickness, celebrations, and adhd were conspiring against me lol

Anyway, the gift! In the episode Quack Pack!, I’ve always gotten the implication that other episodes have taken place in that universe that we don’t ever see, so I decided to write one! It takes place in a DT season 1 equivalent, so Della is nowhere to be found and Lena is under Magica’s control. But it’s still Quack Pack of course, so silly shenanigans and laugh tracks abound. (Also tumblr made the formatting a little wonky but I’ll try and fix it up when I post it to AO3)

Story under the cut!

[Fade In]

[Int: McDuck Manor Foyer. Lena is standing by the front door gathering her things after a sleepover, with Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby standing a few feet back. The boys are clumped together while Webby is stood slightly closer to Lena.]

Lena: Thanks for letting me stay the night, guys!

[She turns to pick up her backpack, which is open and showing a magic trick box set.]

Dewey: Oooh, what’s that?

[He points at the box.]

Lena: Oh, uh… I’ve just been… teaching myself some magic tricks. Yeah, magic tricks.

Webby: Ooh, can you show us some?

[Lena fidgets nervously but plays along with it.]

Lena: Uh, okay…. What do you want to see?

[She grabs the box out of her backpack.]

Dewey: Oh, Y’know what would be so cool? You should give us wings!

Huey: Dewey, I don’t think that’s what she means by magic tricks-

Louie: No, no, let’s let him be delusional.

[The audience chuckles.]

Lena: I can totally do that… if that’s what you want.

Dewey: Wing it on!

[He winks at the camera, and the audience laughs.]

[Lena pulls out a basic, cheap-looking black and white wand from the box.]

Lena: Here goes…

[She waves the wand around in a circle once, then twice. Unbeknownst to the rest of the cast, her amulet necklace starts glowing. The wand circles a third time, and she thrusts it forward towards Dewey and his brothers, producing a bright purple beam of magic.]

[Dewey sticks his arms out, as though he is accepting the magic.]

Dewey: Sha-Dewey!

[The audience laughs at the catchphrase as the beam strikes the triplets, creating a large poof of purple smoke obscuring the camera.]

[When the smoke clears, Huey, Dewey, and Louie have become fairies and are now barely visible due to their size. Lena and Webby both stare at the boys, shocked.]

Lena: Uhhhh… bye!

[She quickly turns and runs out the door. The audience laughs and the theme song begins.]

���

[The theme song ends and we go back to the foyer with Webby staring at Huey, Dewey, and Louie.]

Dewey: … I can’t believe that worked!

Louie: Nice going, Dingus, getting us stuck like this.

Webby:Are you guys alright?

Huey: Yeah, surprisingly so, considering we just grew two entirely new appendages out of our backs.

Dewey: I think you mean… Appendewges!

[The audience laughs.]

Huey and Louie: Shut up, Dewey.

[They both smack him on the back of the head, sending him spinning forward in the air and making the audience laugh harder.]

[Webby holds her hand out, inviting the boys to land on her palm, which they do.]

Webby: I can’t believe you guys are actually, like, fairies now! What’s it like?

Dewey: Oh my gosh, it’s so cool!

[As he says this, he flutters up into the air and does a floating backflip before landing again.]

I can fly, and my wings are so pretty!

[He wiggles his wings back and forth to show off the translucent blue patterns on them and the shimmering silvery fairy dust coming from them. The audience oohs at the sight.]

Huey: While I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s cool, it is fascinating how our bodies automatically adjusted to the change in height and shift to our centers of balance due to the wings on our backs.

[He loses his balance as he says the last line.]

Okay, maybe we haven’t totally adjusted.

[The audience laughs.]

Louie: The wings put massive rips in my favorite hoodie, so I’m not a fan.

[The audience laughs. His wings twitch, causing some gold fairy dust to come off of them.]

Ooh, the gold is nice, though.

Webby: If you’re actually fairies now, I wonder if you guys have any other abilities. In a lot of folklores, fairies were mischievous spirits that had all sorts of abilities they could use to play tricks on people.

[Dewey’s eyes light up.]

Dewey: Say less!

[He makes a comically intense face of concentration before his tail suddenly turns into that of a tiger, which he swishes back and forth excitedly.]

[The audience oohs and then applauds, while Louie chuckles, then smirks.]

Louie: You should totally try turning it into a snake next.

[As though under a trance, Dewey’s expression drops and his tiger’s tail instantly morphs into the head of a snake. It turns around and hisses at him as he snaps out of the trance, causing him to jump up and try and run in a circle away from the snake. The audience laughs hard.]

[Huey rolls his eyes and mutters to himself.]

Huey: Get me away from these lunatics.

[The camera cuts to a more zoomed out shot from above where we can see Webby looking down at the action in her palm.]

Webby: Huey? Where’d you go?

[The camera cuts back to an empty shot of where Huey was on Webby’s palm.]

Huey: What? I’m right here.

Webby: I can’t see you at all though…

Huey: I know I’m short now, but I’m not that short!

[The audience laughs.]

[The camera cuts back to Louie and Dewey, who we can see is still being terrorized by his tail in the background.]

Louie: Wait, Huey- flutter your wings.

[The camera cuts back to the empty shot, where some shimmery bronze fairy dust appears seemingly from nowhere.]

Webby: Oh my gosh, Huey! You’re invisible!

Huey: I- I am? I can still see myself! How do I change back??

Webby: We should ask the rest of the family what to do. I’m sure they’ll know how to help!

[As Webby finishes speaking, Uncle Scrooge walks into the room.]

Scrooge: Aye, Webby darlin’, I heard you were wanting ma help?

[The audience cheers wildly when he speaks.]

Webby: Yeah, Uncle Scrooge! Huey, Dewey, and Louie got turned into fairies and I don’t know how to help them!

Scrooge: Bless me bagpipes, that is serious! We need to get going right away… to the library!

[The crowd laughs and cheers as the scene transitions to…]

[Int: Library interior. Scrooge is standing at the head of a table surrounded by bookshelves. Standing behind the chair closest to him on the right side of the table is Webby. Also standing around the table are Donald and Mrs. Beakley.]

Scrooge: Alright everybody, we’ve got a lot of work to do to help the boys, so let’s get moving! Go, go, go!

[A research montage begins with the characters pulling books off shelves, flipping through pages, and consulting library signs to a detective movie style remix of the series theme song. Donald drops a comically large stack of books on his head, making the audience laugh. The montage ends with a camera shot set up in the space between two books, and Mrs. Beakley shoves a book back into the space on the button of the music. As the screen goes dark, the scene snaps back to…]

[Int: McDuck Manor Foyer. Huey, Dewey, and Louie remain floating about where they were before. Louie is laid back in the air as though he’s relaxing on a lounge chair, Huey has successfully become visible again and is stood hovering near Louie, and Dewey has just now gotten his tail back to normal and plods over to his brothers and sits on the air, breathing heavily.]

Dewey: Never (inhale) do that (inhale) to me (inhale) again (inhale).

Louie: It was funny though.

[He smirks at the camera and the audience laughs and some swoon.]

[Huey sits down as well.]

Huey: How did Webby describe fairies again? We’re trickster spirits, right?

Louie: I can see why, with all these powers.

Dewey: Y’know I’ve missed playing pranks on people.

Huey: We have been pretty busy lately…

[Louie stands up and holds his hand out towards Huey and Dewey.]

Louie: Then whaddaya say we take advantage of all this fairy stuff while we have it?

[Huey and Dewey glance at each other, then smirk and grab Louie’s hand. The audience cheers.]

[The camera cuts to a more zoomed out shot of the foyer, where we can see Huey, Dewey, and Louie all flying off screen as the audience continues cheering. The scene shifts to…]

[Int: Garage. Launchpad is going about setting up instruments for the Crash Happies’ rehearsal.]

Launchpad: Oooookay! There’s the drum set.

[Huey, Dewey, and Louie fly up to a cracked open window visible on the far left of the shot. They giggle between themselves then slip into the room one by one.]

[Huey lands on the cymbal of the drumset and turns invisible. The camera cuts back to a shot of the full room with Launchpad as Huey begins to dance on the cymbal, making it rattle “inexplicably”.]

[Launchpad turns around in confusion.]

Launchpad: Bwuh?

[Dewey and Louie then fly up to Launchpad’s ear. Louie puts on a deep voice and begins incomprehensibly whispering in his ear while Dewey watches.]

Launchpad: Ah! Who are you?! Show yourself!

[He flails around in a panic.]

[The camera cuts to Dewey, who flies over from Louie to the cymbal with Huey. He turns invisible as well, and they begin to jump back and forth on it, almost like a seesaw. In the background, Launchpad continues to freak out.]

Launchpad: I haven’t even crashed into anything cursed yet today!

[The camera cuts back to a shot of the full room. Launchpad is laying in the fetal position on the ground with his expression comically terrified. The cymbal of the drum continues to rattle back and forth.]

Launchpad: Ahhh!!!

[The door to the garage opens, revealing the rest of the Crash Happies.]

Crash Happy Drummer: Launchpad?

[The audience laughs, cheers, and applauds as the ad break begins.]

Disembodied Voice: These Glomgold Industries products have been found to contain high levels of dangerous materials including toxic pesticides, asbestos, and plutonium. Call this number today to see if you qualify for compensation!

[A phone number flashes on screen, as well as a line of text reading “Announcement paid for by Calisota Anti-Glomgold Society” and a photo of Glomgold in a devil suit.]

[Int: Library. Scrooge, Beakley, Webby, and Donald are around a table at the library, surrounded by tall piles of books, scouring through them for a cure for Huey, Dewey, and Louie’s fairy transformations.]

Scrooge: (Very loudly) AHA! I’VE GOT IT!

[He excitedly slams the book he’s reading down onto the table.]

Librarian: (Offscreen) Shhh!!!

Scrooge: (Whispered) Aha! I’ve got it!

[He slams the book down again quietly. The audience laughs.]

[Webby, Donald, and Beakley gather around the book to see what Scrooge found.]

Scrooge: The boys would have to agree to this, but we should be able to turn them back by having them relinquish their fairy dust.

Donald: Well, what are we waiting for?! Let’s get back to the mansion!

[He throws his hands up and accidentally knocks over one of the piles of books, causing several books to hit him on the head. The audience laughs.]

Librarian: (Offscreen) Shhhh!!!!

Scrooge: (To librarian) Sorry! (To family) Let’s go.

[The shot does a sliding transition to…]

[Int: McDuck Manor Foyer. Scrooge, Donald, Beakley, and Webby stand just inside the front door on the far left of the shot showing an empty foyer.]

Beakley: … Aaaaand they’ve disappeared.

Donald: (Panicking) How could this happen?!

Beakley: Well, fairies are famously mischievous spirits…

Webby: … And with Huey, Dewey, and Louie’s love of pranks…

Scrooge: … There’s every likelihood that they’re off somewhere causing chaos.

[Donald faints from stress and hits the floor with a thud, making the audience laugh.]

[Scrooge bends down to pick Donald up.]

Beakley: Well, if they’re not here, we’re going to need to lure them to us. What attracts a fairy?

Webby: Fairies usually are drawn to sugary foods and shiny objects. They also typically avoid urban, polluted areas, but since Huey, Dewey, and Louie aren’t normal fairies they might not have any issue with that.

[A beat of silence.]

Scrooge: Curse me kilts, how did you learn all that, Webby?

Webby: Uhh… cute girl stuff?

[The audience laughs and cheers at her catchphrase and Scrooge and Beakley shrug and accept her response.]

Donald: (Drowsily) Funso’s.

[The others all stare at him, confused]

Donald: Put all that stuff in Funso’s and I don’t think the boys would be able to resist.

[They all share a look of agreement and the camera cuts to…]

[Int: The marina. Huey, Dewey, and Louie are flying around messing with people on the boardwalk.]

[Dewey suddenly stops in the air.]

Dewey: Guys, wait… we should go to Funso’s.

[Huey and Louie also stop.]

Huey: Actually yeah, that sounds really good.

Louie: (Getting more and more and more giddy as he speaks) And with this size I could practically swim in Pep!. Let’s do it!

[They quickly fly the short distance from the boardwalk to Funso’s. They enter the building and are greeted by their family standing around a circle of Pep!, candy, and gold coins.]

Webby: I told you guys it would work!

Donald: Boys! We found a way to turn you back to normal!

[Huey, Dewey, and Louie exchange a hesitant look]

Dewey: What if… we don’t want to?

Huey: Yeah…, as weird as it’s been to be fairies, it’s also been a lot of fun.

Louie: What they said.

[A brief, tense silence occurs, the camera framing the scene to look like a standoff between Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and their family.]

Scrooge: Ay, boys, I know it may be a lot of fun to be fairies right now. And trust me, I’ve dealt with many magical shenanigans like this in my years, the fun never lasts. It’s always more worth it to keep the brief fun memories than to have them tainted by getting bored or suffering the consequences of your own magic.

[Huey, Dewey, and Louie exchange another look.]

Huey: Okay. What do we need to do?

Beakley: (Pulling out three vials from behind her back) Just shake some of your fairy dust into these vials. Once we close them up, the rest of the fairy dust should remove itself from your systems, turning you back to normal.

[The boys fly up to Beakley. Huey flutters forward, and Beakley holds out the first vial. He shakes some fairy dust into the vial’s mouth, then goes back to his brothers. Beakley holds out the next vial, and Dewey does the same thing. Louie flutters up to the last vial, but pauses.]

Louie: Wait! Can I do one last thing before we do this?

[The camera cuts to a shot of Louie swimming around in a cup of Pep!. The audience laughs loudly.]

Louie: Aaaaah… it’s better than I ever dreamed!

Donald: Come on, Louie.

Louie: Alright, alright.

[The camera cuts back to the shot from before. Louie flutters back to the vial and shakes some of his fairy dust inside as well.]

Louie: (To Huey and Dewey) Well, it’s been real.

Dewey: Indewbitably!

Huey and Louie: Shut up, Dewey.

[As Huey and Louie smack the back of Dewey’s head, Beakley corks the three vials, and a poof of purple smoke obscures the camera. When the smoke clears, Huey, Dewey, and Louie are sitting on the floor, drowsily leaning on each other, no longer fairies.]

Donald: Boys!

[He runs up and bear hugs them, picking them up off the floor.]

Louie: (Feeling his hoodie’s fabric wet with Pep! and touching the tears in its back) Eugh, my hoodie’s ruined!

[Dewey takes a step forward but stumbles, and grabs Huey’s shoulder to catch himself, startling Huey and nearly pulling them both down. The audience laughs.]

Dewey: Gosh, I’m tired.

Webby: You guys probably overexerted yourselves while you were fairies. You might’ve had the energy for all that flying and magic then, but your normal bodies don’t.

Beakley: Let’s get you three home and changed, and you can sleep.

[She hands the boys each their vials, now full to the top with their respective fairy dusts.]

Louie: I cannot get to bed fast enough!

Huey and Dewey: Ditto.

[The door to Funso’s closes behind the family as they exit. The audience cheers for the happy ending.]

[Fade Out]

[Int: Garage. Launchpad is now putting everything away after the Crash Happies have left rehearsal. The scene quickly shrinks to a small window so the credits can roll.]

Launchpad: (Seeing the scene shrink) Aaah! The ghosts are back! And they shrunk the room!

[Launchpad promptly drops back to fetal position on the floor.]

Launchpad: (Screaming) MR. MCDUCK!!! YOUR GARAGE IS HAUNTED!!!!

[A beat of silence.]

Scrooge: (Muffled, in the distance) What?

Castle Mcduck, Modern Year.

There are times when Fergus thinks about his legacy, what little one he had to show for himself, anyway. He was a poor man, a laborer, for much of his long life and had nothing to show for all his time working around. His decision to give his only son an American dime to teach him a lesson in self-reliance had started a landslide of events that led to his son’s growing wealth and despite the immense pride he took in him for making a name worth standing for, it pained Fergus to linger on. Ever since that encounter with Dirty Dingus Mcduck, he started to reflect more and more on his place as this family’s head, if that honor should really be his or not. Had he been mooching off of Scrooge’s good fortune? Had he been too harsh on the boy during his last visit? He loved him dearly, his harshness usually revolved around the pain that came with hardly seeing his kin, that much he'd told the boy but was it justified? He didn't even help rebuild the home he sleeps in, did he truly have a right to feel the way he did about him? Or to make the claims he’s made?

He’s done so little for him in recent years, all he's succeeded in doing is pushing their relationship further apart and argue about pointless things, or at least, now they seemed rather pointless. Arguing did seem to be the love language of their family, a feature most of their descendants inherited or were taught in life. As a younger man, he despaired over them, but, grew to be used to it as years went on——maybe they’d all been wrong, selfish, for allowing themselves to fall into that generational trap. This next visit, he swore, he’d do better and he'd try harder, that’s a vow he made on his honor as a McDuck.

Scrooge’s next visit shouldn't be too far away, he hoped, its been increasingly more difficult to keep track of the time in the castle with there being no modern calendars or any cellular device to rely upon. Downy was surely fretting about the household and its cleanliness downstairs, she always did, so he got up and began to walk away from his thoughts in order to go help his precious wife with the household duties, he'd been doing more of that recently, not that he's never helped at all, just a small thing he noticed since last visit.

Summary:

My name is Clover Duck. My mom accidentally took my egg with her on the rocket, and we got stuck on the moon. I've only ever seen the vast nothing of the moon, but the colors on Earth look like they would be beautiful. Mom and I chew a gum called Oxy-Chew that allows us to breathe, and it gives us the nutrients we need to survive. My mom tells me that I have three brothers on Earth, and I can't wait to meet them!

A/N: After A Nightmare on Kilmotor Hill, Clover uses the name Lucky and uses he/him. Please respect that in the comments after that chapter.

**AO3 & Wattpad links in masterpost pinned to the top of the blog**

"You've never played hide and seek before?!"

Webby's loud voice rings in my ears, and I respond, "Not really. Kinda hard to play when it was just Mom and me and the Moon Mite. Although... I guess us looking for the Mite whenever there was a slight tremor was kinda like hide and seek."

Dewey grimaces, and he asks, "What the heck's a Moon Mite?"

I shrug, responding, "It's this huge 4-eyed creature that's body is mostly head with tentacles for a mouth, metal-melting spit, and four legs that kinda move like a spider's. Oh! And it sounded kinda like a squirrel or chipmunk when it talked to its baby."

Huey and Dewey blink a few times in unison before Huey starts writing things down on a clean page for his JWG, and Dewey finally shakes his head, saying with a humorless chuckle, "Wow. I'm suddenly not feeling very jealous of you being the one to grow up with Mom."

Louie pipes up from the couch next to me, not looking up from his phone as he adds, "So the missing leg wasn't enough of an indicator that things weren't all sunshine and rainbows for them on the Moon, Dingus?"

Dewey turns his attention to Louie, exclaiming, "Hey! We promised not to use each other's middle names against each other like that anymore!"

Louie simply smiles and chuckles, making Dewey even more upset.

I fail to cover a giggle, then clear my throat and ask, "So... That hide and seek game?

Webby exclaims, "Right! Oh, you're gonna have so much fun!"

Dewey puts a hand on Webby's shoulder, and adds, "Say, why don't we kick it up a notch? How about... Hide and seek tag! It's basically the same rules, but the seeker has to actually tag the people they find, and if you get tagged, you join the seeker's team until everyone is tagged! The first person to get tagged is the seeker next round!"

I pump my fists, exclaiming, "Ooh, that sounds so fun! Who should be the seeker first?"

Louie halfheartedly raises a hand, stating, "Go ahead, but I'm not playing. Got stuff to do in my games before my premium membership free trial goes away and Uncle Scrooge catches onto me using his credit card again."

Huey adds, not looking up from his book, "I also won't be playing. I've got to research this Moon Mite thing so it doesn't give me nightmares later."

I look at Webby and Dewey, saying, "Guess it's just the three of us, then."

Webby adds, "Yup."

There's a moment as we all stand in uncomfortable silence before I exclaim, "Not it!"

Webby adds just after me, "Not it!"

Dewey groans, muttering, "Aw, man." Webby quickly ties a blindfold over his eyes, and he asks, "Is the blindfold really necessary?"

Webby smirks, saying, "Gotta make sure you're not cheating like in Among Ducks when you peek over our screens to see who the Imposter duck is."

I gasp, asking loudly, "That's how you caught me? I thought you were just getting up for a drink!"

Dewey fakes a cough as he mutters, "You're not a very good liar anyways."

My mouth goes wide at that as an offended look I hope he can somehow feel under the blindfold forms.

Webby says, "Let's just start hiding. Dewey, you count to 20, then come looking for us. And use Mississippis. I'll know if you don't."

Dewey huffs dramatically, then starts counting, "1 Mississippi... 2 Mississippi... 3 Mississippi..."

The two of us run out of the mansion's living room, with me running upstairs to the bedrooms, and Webby staying on the first floor. I run into Mom's room and hide under her massive pile of pillows at the head of her bed. She said she never used to be a pillow hog, but that she missed how it felt to be surrounded by them every night when she was my age.

My breath hitches as I hear the door open, and I take a deep breath as quietly as I can, holding my hands over my mouth to make sure I stay as silent as possible. After a minute of him silently rooting around the room, he sighs, leaving the room and shutting the door. I peek my head out of the pillow pile slowly after a few minutes, making sure he's not in the room before emerging. If he comes back here, he probably won't overlook the pillow pile a second time, so I've gotta change hiding spots.

I slowly open the door, looking twice down both ends of the hallway before taking off to my right toward dozens of unused bedrooms. I stop when I hear Webby's voice in a whisper just around the corner. He must've found her already! Dang, I'm really in trouble now. I open the first door in reach and duck inside just in time as I hear Dewey and Webby race past.

I just barely catch Webby saying, "I think he went this way!"

I open the door and hop into the bedroom's walk-in closet, pulling myself into a tight ball in the far end of the closet, tucked behind something dangling from above. This proves to be a mistake as I sneeze, smelling a heavy coating of dust in the corner I'm tucked into.

As I hear their footsteps loudly creaking the floorboards just outside the room, I decide I need to change rooms again. As I stand, I bump into one of the things dangling in the closet, and it falls from the closet rod and onto the floor. Curious, I pick it up and tug on a small chain, turning on the closet's light bulb.

The thing I'm holding appears to be a child-sized outfit hung on a clothes hanger, but I can't tell exactly what the outfit is since it's covered in a plastic clothing cover, like the ones you'd use for an outfit that you know will rarely, if ever, see the light of day again, but you want to protect it from moths and anything that could ruin the fabric. I rub a hand against the plastic to remove an even thicker layer of dust than what's already in the closet, and I can finally see the outfit inside.

It appears to be a vintage Mirvana T-shirt and a dark blue, almost grey flannel over-shirt. It feels familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before. Where have I seen this outfit before? Maybe in that old scrapook Mom gave me a few days ago that she'd fished out of her old room's closet. Well, there's only one way to find out.

I pull the plastic cover off of the outfit and cough at the dust, fanning the air around me as a ton of dust flies into the air from the sudden movement. How long has this stuff been abandoned in here? I pull the chain to turn off the closet's light and finally exit the dusty closet, slinging the outfit over my shoulder. I peek my head out of the room like I did when I left Mom's room, and take off toward the left this time, toward my room.

When I get to my room, I breathe a sigh of relief, hanging the outfit on a hook Mom installed on the back of my bedroom door. I shove the side of my head against the door, and when I'm satisfied there's nobody around, I root around my desk for the scrapbook. Flipping through the pages, I finally find the photo I was thinking of.

The photo contains Mom around my age riding on a skateboard through the Uncle Scrooge's office, her brother Donald towed behind her in a red kid wagon filled with money that spills out behind them as Uncle Scrooge chases them, a worried expression on his face and his top hat held out to catch some stray coins. Donald is wearing that very outfit in this photo, and a couple others throughout the scrapbook.

A/N: This part was inspired by Khion Yohann's fanart linked here: https://x.com/KhionYohann/status/1329445111097397249

I start zoning out and flipping through the scrapbook, finding more of the outfits I saw in the closet. Was that Donald's room? But why did it look so abandoned? I come back to Earth as I feel a light shove to my shoulder, and I drop the scrapbook and turn around to see Dewey and Webby there.

Dewey raises an eyebrow and scratches the back of his neck, saying, "You, uh... You good? You seemed pretty distracted."

I snap out of it, saying, "Huh? Oh, yeah. Sorry, I found something and had to figure it out before I forgot, but ended up forgetting about our game. Sorry."

I nervously chuckle, and Webby exclaims, "I totally get it, Lucky! I get the research bug all the time! Why do you think I know so much about your family?"

I give her a concerned look before saying, "Right. Well, I gotta go talk to Uncle Scrooge about something. Sorry to cut our game short."

Dewey shrugs, saying, "It's okay, dude. Webby and I can find something to do, just the two of us."

I walk to two to my door, and Webby leans toward me, whispering, "You'll tell me later, right?"

I nod, and she smiles.

The two walk down toward the hallway together before Webby suddenly taps Dewey on the shoulder and runs, exclaiming, "You're it!"

Dewey laughs, taking off after her. I sigh, walking the other way down the hall toward Scrooge's office.

I knock on the door, and hear a slightly annoyed, "Come in."

I open the door, and Uncle Scrooge looks up from some paperwork at me, his expression brightening instantly.

He smiles, saying, "Lad! What brings ya down to my office today, Lucky? Want to hear more about smart saving from your dear old uncle?"

I chuckle, again,g "Not this time, Uncle Scrooge. While playing a game with Dewey and Webby, I found one of Donald's old outfits from when he was my age in an abandoned bedroom. Doesn't he live in the mansion? I mean, he couldn't have taken all of his clothes and bedding on his cruise, and even if he did, why was his room so dusty?"

The corners of Scrooge's mouth curve down slightly, and he sighs before responding, "Oh, that. Donald... He used to live in the mansion, but after he thought he lost you and your mother in space over 11 years ago, he packed up everything he owned, and he took off in his houseboat with your brothers. The only thing he left was those outfits he'd long grown out of. I think he left them because they reminded him of growing up in the mansion with your mother."

After letting it all sink in, I ask, "Does Mom know?"

Scrooge looks away as he responds, "No. Della still seems to think Donald never left the mansion. That I raised your brothers alongside him. I haven't been able to bring myself to tell her yet. It'd break her wee heart."

I ask quietly, "And you think Donald will be able to help you tell her when he gets back from his cruise?"

Scrooge's eyes meet mine again, and he responds, "Yeah, something like that." He breathes out a small chuckle, adding, "You're so much like her, you know. So I'm is Louie. You're all so perceptive of others, able to figure them out in a snap. For so long, I lived without that wit."

I walk around to the other side of his desk and grab Scrooge's hand, saying, "Don't worry, Uncle Scrooge. I'll let you tell her in your own time."

He picks me up onto his lap and hugs me, saying, "Thanks, lad."

I hug him back, and after a moment I pull away, saying, "You have to promise me you will tell her, though."

Scrooge chuckles, saying, "I promise."

He sets me down, and I wave at him as I leave his office to look for Mom. It's starting to get dark out, so she's probably on the roof. She likes watching the sky as the first stars of the night appear. I crawl up the ladder to the roof, balancing myself along the roof's small ledge as I spot Mom on the roof's slope.

I sit down and slide down next to her, and she says, "Oh! Hey, sweetie!" She sits up from where she was laying on her back, then she asks, "What brings you up here so late? You're usually in your room reading or playing with your brothers and Webby by now."

I say, "About that. I found one of Donald's old outfits in his room while playing hide and seek with Dewey and Webby. The Mirvana shirt and flannel one."

Mom asks, "What about it? Do you want the outfit or something?"

I respond, "Well... Kinda?"

Mom smiles at me, saying, "Well, then, take 'em!"

I ask, "Would that really be okay? I mean, they're his outfits, after all."

Mom rolls her eyes, saying, "Why not, Lúc? It's not he fits in them anymore. He hasn't in decades. Plus, it'd be good to see them getting some use after all these years."

A/N: Lúc is Lucky's new nickname, and it's pronounced like Luke.

I smile, and Mom ruffles my short hair, laughing as I huff and use my fingers to brush out any tangles. She lays back down and gestures for me to lay next to her, resting my head on her outstretched arm. She points out some constellations we couldn't see from the moon as more stars appear, and I fall asleep against her.

I just had a thought and then it stopped making sense.

So in Secret(s) of Castle McDuck Huey and Louie laugh at the name Dirty Dingus… Dewey doesn’t. At first i thought it was because that’s actually Dewey’s name. Then it occurred to me that Dewey had just been told there was info about all his ancestors

[kaderp]

Molly's sanity went really low because she was contacted with typhoid, or diphtheria.

While I do believe Molly struggled with her sanity, I don't think it was because of those diseases. (Typhoid being an illness caused by contaminated food/water and Diphtheria being a sickness caused by a bacterial infection of the throat for those that don't wanna google)

I believe they did have adequate drinking water and food from Glasgow, and Diphtheria wasn't as common as other diseases.. While there were a lot of cases in the UK, it wasn't popular unless you were actively working in factories. The only thing we know for sure is that Molly sometimes mined and then raised her kids.

Like the other post suggested, I think the most reasonable illness she'd have would be black lung still. And I think she'd catch the common cold very often, sometimes getting sick with a fever.

Also her sanity probably plummeted due to the fact she had a child as a literal child. And had to raise those children while being just a kiddo herself. And not really receiving any help while doing so because miners had insanely long hours.

Some of the paintings in the ol' castle! You see Sir Stuft McDuck with all the wonderful food (I haven't had a sandwitch in hundreds of years! Argh!!!!) It's Malcolm "Matey" McDuck with the quill, Dirty "Dingus" McDuck with a candlestick on his head and Molly Mallard in her weddingdress! Good times...

Went down a rabbit hole on the McDuck Clan Wikipedia page and found this fucking diamond of a name

[sophfandoms53]

Okay. So. I did research.

For like no real reason other than I AM CONFUSED.

So Dewey’s middle name was originally said to be Deuteronomy, this was confirmed by Frank Angones and in the comic’s.

But according to the most recent episode when Della asked Dewey what his middle name was he said “Its Dingus.”

And now me, and a lot of us are really confused as to what’s the truth and what not.

So I did research on the word Dingus and these were the top defintions I found from 3 different sources.

Dingus is a term used when a name is unknown, forgotten or does not want to be named.

It also means other things but from what I’ve looked at, this is the top definition.

And honestly I originally thought Dewey told his mom it was Dingus because maybe he’s embarrassed by his actually middle name being Deuteronomy.

But then I saw people talking about Dirty Dingus McDuck, whom is Scrooge’s grandfather. And the scene where Huey and Louie laugh about ‘Dingus’ being said because it’s their brothers middle name.

And this makes sense.

BUT THEN.

I DID MORE RESEARCH.

And according to Wikipedia, which I know isn’t always reliable, and it said

Dirty Dingus McDuck’s name is actually Titus McDuck.

And because I found this on Wikipedia, I wanted to double check. And I did.

Clicked on the link. And it brought me here.

So Titus is a character. And I scrolled a little more and says

Other names: Dingus McDuck.

So, confirmation.

‘Dirty’ Dingus McDuck is Titus McDuck.

Now I could be complete wrong here and i could be looking way too much into this but, based on all this research.

It’s possible that, Dewey’s middle name is Deuteronomy but he chooses to use Dingus as a cover to not reveal his actually middle name, possibly out of embarrassment.

This is all speculation and Sophia having way too much time on her hands to even do this. But I wanted an answer and I think I got it.

THIS IS JUST SPECULATION. DONT TAKE THIS AS A FACT PLEASE LMAO.
