GOSALYN SUICIDE

[snek-snacc]

Y'all, we've got Della to be Scrooge's pilot now sooooo what if after the new episode Launchpad leaves to be Drake's sidekick and help with raising Gosalyn like in the original 0_0

[livesforgttna]

gosalyn lifted her crossbow up, firing at the target. a grin spread across the girl's face as it hit the bullseye, reloading and shooting again and again and again until there was a cluster of bolts sunk into the heart of the target. "how was that?" she asked, smirking up at black heron. "good enough for you?" / @tunnagan​ | unprompted.

            Heron stood behind the  girl,  keeping  her  distance  as  she  watched.  Gosalyn  had  a  lot  of  natural  talent,  she  had  to  admit.  But  there  was  always  room  for  improvement.  Her  eyes  met  the  teen’s,  only  giving  her  the  slightest  look  of  approval.

: DarkWing Duck x Reader: :Healing the Hero:

:Friends to lovers, Hurt comfort, Injuries, Mentions of blood and bruises, mentions of violence slight cursing:

It was another long night for darkwing. Ever since the ramrod incident criminal activity has begun to spike up especially from the organization F.O.W.L that has recently come to light. Darkwing trudged up a fire escape from the alley of an apartment building and limped steadily as he ascended floor by floor to his destination, panting as blood spilt from his side and his ribs ached.

He stopped at a lit window, the warmth bouncing off the glass was comforting as he gently pressed his hand against it. He knocked gently on the glass and waited for a certain someone to come to the door, he prayed silently to whatever god he believed in that not only he survived but also that Gosalyn wouldn't be too mad he stayed out later than usual.

Meanwhile inside the lit apartment smells of cinnamon buns swirled in the air as the owner, (y/n), of the studio apartment sat on the counter waiting for their food to be done all while looking through a medical textbook and jotting down notes. The moment the knock sounded they shut their book and turned a corner to see the one and only silhouette of a good friend and St.Canard’s savior lurking beyond it.

(y/n) opened the window quickly, “Hey Darkwi-” they paused and looked at the heaving mess of a hero up and down before the horrifying reality settled on them, ‘holy shit..’ was all they whispered. Darkwing Chuckled sheepishly as he leaned against the railing to support himself “Hey-” he whimpered as he staggered forward in a pained fashion. (y/n) was quick to give his body support as they helped him in.

As soon as D.W. was inside the pushed past (y/n) and dragged himself over to the couch where he sat and began to wheeze in pain, (y/n) was silent for a second before going into full panic and interrogation mode. Curses left their mouth as they scrambled around the apartment beginning to pull out all sorts of supplies and medical kits before stopping and dropping it all at D.W. 's feet and ushering him to scoot over so they had space to start work.

“What happened?!” (y/n) asked hushed yet panicked as they began to pull the heroes coat and sweater off quickly, The damage was big but it was manageable, a laceration went running from the bottom of his ribs under his armpit to the top and it was still leaking blood making a mess of the soft couch under them. “I got stabbed” he said with a smart ass look before hissing as (y/n) moved his arm to drape over the couch, “first of all this isn’t a stab this is a slash secondly no shit-, i meant tell me what happened!”.

“Well it happened earlier tonight, there was a kidnapping in progress, and as a hero does i went after them,” (y/n) nodded as they took out an antiseptic bottle emptying some of its contents into a small plastic dish and taking tweezers and a cotton ball to pick up some of the liquid before applying it gingerly to the cut to clean anything infectious that had been brewing on the trip from there to here. D.W. hissed at the pain but continued his story like a trooper, “I had popped the getaway van’s tires which caused them to stop suddenly and swerve into a parking lot. And luckily the girl inside had been fighting back too because the moment the van stopped she was able to escape and get to a crowd of women who had followed us, on foot might I add, to try and help.”.

(y/n) smiled at the sound of women protecting women, and continued their medical work as they held gauze in place with slight pressure trying to get as much as the bleeding stopped as possible. “Dangerous but brave of them to do so, go on.” D.W took a deep breath to continue his story since he was winded from the story already, “Long story short i was able to stop al three but the last one out smarted me and slashed me before getting knocked out by a smoke bomb hitting him on the head.''Both birds shared a chuckle at the imagery of someone being hit in the head like chicken little with an acorn and just passing out.

D.W. slouched forward allowing for (y/n) to climb behind him, the gauze this time was less soaked in blood than the other pads so they began to wrap an ace bandage around his chest to hold the gauze in place as it healed over time. The room was now quiet and less electrified than before as (y/n) double checked their work and of course looked over ‘The terror that flaps in the night’.

(y/n) sighed their brows furrowed to a stern yet concerned expression, “Man they really did a number on you didnt they, Drakey?” D.W. blushed slightly at the nickname presented to him but just nodded, his head was just a bit too light to retaliate such a childish nickname. “You seriously have to be more careful! I mean I know I'm in medical school but I don't run a clinic!” hissed (y/n) using two fingers to tap harshly on D.W. ‘s beak.

D.W squeaked and furrowed his brows now as he sniffled and scrunched up his face in distaste to (y/n)’s actions, “Plus..” added (y/n) in a more softer tone as they looked D.W in his eyes, “You have people who need you alive, and i'm not talking about St. Canard, I'm talking about Gosalyn.” they rested their hands on D.W’s bare shoulders before slowly trailing their hands down to wrap around his neck gently. “That is true..” cooed D.W softly as color returned to his being.

(y/n) smiled as their eyes closed “Plus you cant let your biggest fans Dewey and L.P down either now can ya!!” (y/n) added onto their argument with a chuckle. (y/n) noticed a bruise during the chuckle fit and stood up to get an ice pack from their freezer. D.W just chuckled deeply, standing up and taking off his hat as he slid on his blue under shirt and let his now detached cape drape against his shoulders.

(Y/n) took out the now fully baked cinnamon rolls out of the oven while preparing D.W’s ice pack, Darkwing looked behind him at (y/n)’s figure that was now standing in the kitchen making quick work to ice the pastries. He smiled softly, knowing now there was no more chaos for the night until he went home to an angry sidekick. He thought back to the first time him and (y/n) had met, they had gone out past dark to get some last minute groceries and had been cornered the moment they left the store.

That night was cold and chilly and despite all of (y/n)’s efforts to ward off their attacker they stood there, back against a brick wall and a scalpel they had swiped from school in their shaky hands. It was then that the ‘Jailer who throws away the key!, came to their rescue. It was a long and tedious fight but eventually D.W ended up victorious, however it came with a drawback of being badly injured by a gunshot to the abdomen.

(y/n) hurriedly took D.W to their house since he refused to go to the er and began their magic. Thanks to (y/n) that day St. Canard still had their hero and that was the start of a great ally ship and an even better friendship.Every Time since then (y/n) had been taking care of him, whether it was at their place for a cut across the cheek or at his hideout to give him soup when he or Gosalyn were sick. And everytime that happened he felt their bond deepen and grow. He was snapped out of deep thought as the cushion beside him dipped slightly and in front of him were piping hot and sweet cinnamon rolls! He licked his lips “Those look scrumptious!” he cheered softly but before he could dive in (y/n) caught his forehead and leaned him back.

Confused, he was about to fight back but was shushed as (y/n) gently caressed his cheek and gently placed the cool cloth containing the ice on his eye, softly holding it there as she basically petted him. “What would I do without you (Y/N/N)?” he asked softly, now feeling appreciative and gently holding their wrist nuzzling into the cool cloth. “Probably be a lot more banged up than you are now that’s for sure. Also I called Gos and L.P., L.P said he would watch Gos for the morning until you got back.”. D.W hummed content as he closed his only open eye and relaxed, (y/n) removed it and sat it in their lap.

(y/n) forced D.W to sit back up causing him to groan “I'll let you sleep soon but you need something to eat before you go to bed.” D.W. reached down and took a roll and began to eat, now he felt good as new, still tired but that's expected if you stay up nearly 24/7 and rely on power naps to get through the day anyways. (y/n) made a pallet on the floor for D.W. while he ate so he didn't have to sleep in his own dried up crusty blood on the couch.

After a filling meal of cinnamon rolls and water he laid down on the pallet taking off his mask and rolling up in the covers, (y/n) sat down near his feet with a reading lamp vowing to stay up and study just in case anything was needed. The calm atmosphere lulled D.W. to sleep quickly and soon it was just (y/n) who was awake. After a few hours of studying (y/n) put their book down and looked outside, the sun began to rise above the buildings of the city which signaled to (y/n) that it was probably the best time to go to bed.

(y/n) tried to get up but was gently tugged back down by a half awake D.W who horsley chuckled as he threw an arm around the sleepy medical student. “Drake what are you doing-” they asked sleepily as they turned to at least face him, their faces closer than they ever been, “Nothing, i just think it’s more logical for you to stay here with me, don't want you to trip and fall since you become a klutz after a certain amount of hours staying up.” drake chuckled as (y/n) pouted.

D.W. sighed lovingly as he ruffled the feathers on (y/n)’s cheek gently, eventually moving his hand to run his fingers through their hair, “what's got you so soft?” asked (y/n) in a whisper, silence passed over them as D.W thought. All he did was roll (y/n) onto their back as he hovered over them, sunlight cascading over their bodies as it began to peer through the blinds. It wasn't long till beak met beak in a soft adoring kiss which (y/n) quickly melted into, they parted a moment later and smiled at each other “do you know how long i've wanted to do that?” cooed D.W. as he laid back down to snuggle into (y/n), “awhile?” replied (y/n) with a smug grin before another violent yawn ripped past their beak.

Closing their eyes and snuggling closer to D.W. (y/n) finally felt sleep begin to gently tug at them calling them to fall into the dark comforting abyss of rest, D.W chuckled deeply as he also began to settle back down for an early morning nap. One thing was sure from the beginning of their relationship, (y/n) would always be there to heal their hero.

Ducktales MC Streamer AU!!!!

First of all, Gamertags

Lena: DarkShadow

Violet: UltraVi

Webby: SuperCoolGal

Gosalyn: GosWingDuck

Boyd: Iamnotarobotcaptcha

Huey: Huedalus

Louie: Microban

Dewey: DeweyDewPlays

Okay, secondly how many subscribers do each of them have

Violet is without a doubt the most popular out of the group with 2.7M subs

Louie has 1M subs

Gosalyn has 90K subs

Lena has 73K subs

So does Webby

Boyd has 41K subs

Huey has 20K subs

Dewey has 10K subs

Servers now!

They all have one big server together

They all go on it frequently and stream

Dewy and Gosalyn made a manhunt server

Boyd decided to make an educational one

Violet and Louie teamed up to make a PvP server. Everyone did not like that (will expand upon this later)

Lena never makes her owns servers but normally hops onto everyone else's

Normally Webby's, who has about five hundred servers

Huey plays on hunger games servers (he always dies)

They all eventually make a role play server

In game behaviour facts

Now why did everyone hate the fact that Louie and Violet teamed up?

They are PvP GODS

Everyone will be enjoying a nice PvP session then one or both of them will join the game and the group will panic

Huey and Dewey have to live on separate sides of the server since they always blow each others houses up

Lena made the mistake of killing Boyd once

Louie just so happened to have seen

Lena now lives her Minecraft life in fear, fully aware Louie is watching her every block step

Huey is the best with redstone and making traps but often gets stuck in them

Webby has a secret base in everyone's house

Gosalyn has a secret base in Violet's house

Webby has a secret base in Gosalyn's secret base

Gosalyn hates villagers

She set a village on fire once

Boyd once "accidentally" blew up Lena's house

Viewer facts

Everyone who watches Lena's streams also watches Webby's, its like an unspoken law

Everyone ships them

No one knew Violet and Lena were related until one of Violet's streams, and the chat was asking her about other streamers she knew and she was like, "DarkShadow? You mean Lena?" Then when everyone explodes in the chat she just says, "Of course I know her, she's my sister and she's dating my best friend so..."

Gosalyn hates the nether

She can't be bothered to mine gold

Chat agrees with her

Webby has defeated the Ender Dragon over and over again nonstop for a week before during a challenge to kill the Ender Dragon in every way possible and if she ran out of ideas the stream ended, the chat had stayed on for the entire week. How she survived was beyond them

Dewey also hosts DeweyDewNight on his twitch rather than just Minecraft, chat loves it

Huey always looses during manhunts, but the chat always encourages him to keep trying

Boyd is a speedrunner, and the chat loves his little noises he makes as he plays

Louie's chat hates him, only a small percentage like him but they all agree that holy shit he's good at this

Violet once sent her chat into a panic by crying during a roleplay stream. She was in character but it was still a huge shock to see her actually showing emotion. It shocked the rest of the group as well

If I think of more I'll add to this, but that's all for now!

// Out of the entire Disney Afternoon library, which theme song do you find most catchy? Is it the Ducktales theme song like it is for most people? Did you like all or most of the Disney Afternoon shows too?

I was here when the OG shows dropped the first time, son!

You just opened a Pandora’s box of nostalgia dumping, anon!!!

......That was back when themesongs to 'toons in general were so awesome, they could be released as singles for the radio. Now there are no theme songs, or they’re 20 second instrumental bs. To be honest, Tale Spin sticks out because my sister and our friends would sing it at the top of our lungs, and we’d never do the last part right at all because the singer was so damn fast XD ( “Spin it if you’re in it you can win it if you spin it” ) LOrD it stays with you forever.

Tale Spin was my FAV alongside DWD, and tbh, Rebecca Cunningham was an awesome role model. I loved her, and haters can sit and SPIN. 🖕

Tbh, I LOVED the whole cast of Tale Spin, the only parts that annoyed me were the eps that focused on Molly because she talked in that "too cute Shirly Temple-esque" lingo that grates your nerves after awhile. Adorable for one or two scenes, not the whole episode. I did like how Baloo treated her like his daughter and Kit treated her like his baby sister. :3

I was obsessed with the whole 1930's vibe of it, because at the time, even if I was a kid, I was also into old movies because HEY Lia's ALWAYS been too good for regular bullshit that everyone my age likes--since day one. ;)

Darkwing Duck was my JAM for a LONG time--even after it ended, I watched those reruns to death. I could care less about the B level villain "filler" episodes though, and often skipped those, or only half-watched. I liked the A level villains like Negsy ( obviously ) the Fearsome 5 ( separately too, of course ), Steelbeak ( duh ), and I ALWAYS loved Morgwing. :PPPPPPPPPPPPP The smart ass banter between Drake and Gosalyn were *chefs kiss*

My sister and I watched Ducktales religiously too, but sadly, much of the stories didn’t stick in my memory the way DWD, Tale Spin, Aladdin, and Gargoyles did. I also loved watching Gummi Bears when it was on. Another classic my sister and I would watch to death. I was OBSESSED with Mozenrath and Saline in Aladdin, so I never missed Aladdin on the off chance the villain would be one of them. And yes, I was there when the final nail in the coffin of the DA happened with The Might Ducks, and YES I LOVED THAT SHOW FITE ME. All those other animal comedy shows as fillers like....that weird one with the cheetah with a super long tail? ( I can’t remember it was only a one season thing it was so forgettable ) Also SOMETIMES I’d watch Timon and Pumbaa if it was on and nothing else was, I’d sit through an ep or 2. Eh. It didn’t do it for me that Nathan and Ernie weren’t doing the voices for the show.  Never really got into Rescue Rangers, Bonkers!, or Goof Troop, but my little sister loved those 3 shows, holy shit. She’s not on dumblr so I can embarrass her---but she had such a huge crush on Dale.😆

See, the writing was WAY more intelligent in the 90's. Ya'll gotta face it. Today’s writing is OK at best, and gravitates to the average mind, and doesn’t try to elevate anyone, just keep them stuck in pop culture forever.  And that’s not just Disney, but Nick and other venues like H&B, Dic, and Kingworld had GOOD writing. My grandparents as well as my parents would be in the background laughing at half the jokes, too. My mom would watch DWD by herself if it was Saturday and I wasn't around. I recorded stuff to watch again later, because back then, I always got to see it after school, but on Saturdays I was always booked with either lessons or swim team, etc. so I missed it. So after I popped it on, my mom or dad would hover for a few parts, fighting to not to tell me what happens. XD

Then GARGOYLES happened, and NOTHING ELSE MATTERED. This show was beautifully drawn/designed, the stories were amazing, it was like......DC meets Game of Thrones for kids & teens. I lived and breathed that show, and quite frankly everyone I knew did, adult or kid.

Until......the dreaded last season where the Anti-Gargoyle dudes were the main villain and the show was reduced to a early Saturday morning shark jump. We true fans do not speak of that last season. It didn't happen. OH WELL.

[advxnturerinlove]

a charming introducktion

otp: allen/drake (let’s get amorous)

a bad gut feeling leads allen into an unlikely situation and even more unlikely rescue.

Something about the ram didn’t sit right with Allen. From the story about being close to Gosalyn’s family (even though Gosalyn had never mentioned someone like him, and Allen tried to pay close attention to what Gosalyn said), to the fact that he was trying to pass of a jelly stain as himself. So when the two left, Gosalyn bouncing on her heels in excitement to talk about her grandfather with someone she thought remembered him, Allen asked for permission to follow. 

Mrs. Cavanaugh waved them off, and they slipped out the front door only moments after Gosalyn and the ram did, closing the door behind them silently before following. 

“You know, I’m not a problem child!” Allen heard Gosalyn yell, and their heart ached for her. To hear any child be so defensive of herself was upsetting, and they adored Gosalyn. They wanted to step closer, to listen to what the little girl was saying about spirit, but then they saw the van coming closer. Even worse, it was slowing to a crawl. 

They sped up, into a dead sprint, sliding past the ram to grab Gosalyn’s hand when they saw the other two closing in. Luckily the little girl was quick-witted, smashing her roller skates into the ram’s mouth and whacking the other two before letting Allen pull her along. After a moment, Allen stooped and pulled her into their arms so they could run faster, Gosalyn looping her arms around Allen’s neck. 

“Gosalyn, sweetheart, let’s get you to safe-” They were trying to say, when an arm wrapped around their waist and they shrieked out the last of their sentence, holding onto Gosalyn for dear life. 

Their first thought was this is a motorcycle, not a van, so maybe it’s not them. Their second thought was that doesn’t matter, is Gosalyn okay!? And their third thought was holy shit, that’s one strong duck. 

While they were still trying to process what had happened, Gosalyn had already scrambled away from them, punching their masked (savior? Kidnapper?) driver in the beak, then stomach. 

“I’m trying to rescue you!” He protested, and said something about being a hero. But then there were gunshots, and Allen was yelling at Gosalyn to stay down in the sidecar before wrapping their arms around the man, trying to hold on for dear life. 

It was so close they could feel the wind from the gunshots grazing the feathers on their face, and their arms tightened so much around the masked duck they thought they heard him wheeze. 

Whoever this guy was, he wasn’t bad if he was trying to save them from that, they decided. At least, until they got to the police station and the cops started shooting at them, too. 

And then there was someone there calling the masked duck DW, and that sounded faintly familiar. When Gosalyn grabbed the newspaper and Darkwing opened it, questioning the picture choices, it clicked together. They had read blurbs about him every once in a while, small pieces in the paper when waiting at the doctor’s office or things like that.  From what they had read and what they had heard, Darkwing was a hero. So there was no way he would have actually robbed the train station. 

They were shaken out of their mental ramblings when Darkwing questioned how good them and Gosalyn could hold their breaths, and then they were flying into the ocean. 

It was safe. They coughed and spat out the little water that they had almost inhaled before the ramp pushed them out of the ocean and into Darkwing’s hideout, the duck himself pounding their back to help them while Gosalyn leaned forwards and pried a starfish off of their beak. 

After the coughing was finished, the shivers began, but they didn’t pay any mind to their shaking- it didn’t matter. What mattered was kneeling down and checking over Gosalyn for injuries. 

The little duckling squirmed and made faces, but didn’t protest too much beyond claiming that Allen was going to embarrass her in front of an actual superhero. Once Allen was sure that she wasn’t hurt, they got to their feet, looking at Darkwing to make sure he was okay. 

“Not that I don’t love the looking out for others thing,” He said as Allen grabbed his beak, turning it from side to side, “but you’re bleeding.”

Allen blinked, and then looked down at their arm when Darkwing Duck waved to it. Sure enough, there was a shallow wound on their arm- probably a graze from all the gunfire from earlier. Or something that happened in the water, they weren’t sure.

“Come on,” Darkwing said with a smile, and Allen’s heart did something funny, “let’s get you patched up.”

He lead them into the kitchen and sat them down at the table, disappearing for a moment before coming back with a first aid kit and setting it down. 

“So, what’s your deal?” He asked. “Why were you with Gosalyn?”

Allen shrugged and then winced, holding out their arm when Darkwing motioned for it.

“I didn’t trust the guy who wanted to visit her.” They said, keeping their voice soft. “She hasn’t had any visitors the entire year she’s been here, and this guy shows up out of the blue claiming to be in a photo he’s not in? I wanted to… I dunno. I had a bad feeling. Not much I could do in the end, but at least I bought enough time that you came by!”

Darkwing smiled then, carefully putting antiseptic onto the graze, and Allen did their best not to wince again. 

“Trusting your instincts is a good thing.”  He said encouragingly. “Gosalyn might just be in a lot of trouble. And I’m glad you bought time, er…” Suddenly he looked embarrassed, giving them a sheepish grin as he pulled out a roll of bandages. “I didn’t catch your name.”

“Allen Hawkins.” They said, reaching out and smiling when Darkwing shook their hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“The pleasure is all mine, Allen.” Darkwing said, and Allen’s heart did another funny little flip at the sound of their name coming from him. They put that nervous energy into a smile, rolling their shoulder once Darkwing finished with the bandages. 

Allen didn’t know much about Darkwing. But sitting in his kitchen, looking at the way he smiled and thinking of how he had bandaged them with such care… they had the feeling that they could trust him.

And they couldn’t help but hope they’d be seeing more of him. 

[glowyjellyfish]

Wow, I was not expecting to enjoy this episode this much!

-Launchpad was so Good throughout! Once again I am full of Launchpad feelings! He doesn’t know how to handle rejection and his instinct is to flee and he was TRYING SO HARD to be respectful and keep his distance!

-side note: while I rewatched before the new episodes began, I formulated a theory that each season isn’t just about one of the kids, but one Kid, one Adult, and one Villain. Season one was Dewey, Scrooge, and Magica, season two was Louie, Della, and Glomgold. Season three’s kid is Huey, and the villain is probably FOWL as a whole, but I wasn’t sure yet who the Adult was and now I am pretty well convinced it’s Launchpad. He’s been very prominent and showing a lot of feelings, and we haven’t even gotten up to the big DWD episode of the season. Everything lines up with my Sad Launchpad Theory, and I believe Kit and Molly will be involved in his past.

-LOVED Webby’s bonding with Penny?? Like, holy shit, that was a good reason to pair them up, here I thought it was just because it would be fun.

-Dewey’s always a blast and is Jenkins the rival Frank Angones hinted at for him? Rival/nemesis? Hilarious if true, the internet kept proposing Important characters and even I thought maybe Gosalyn, but no it’s just some random kid who got local-news-famous instead of Dewey. That is great.

-...is it weird that I am thrilled that Launchpad and Penny aren’t dating but are now BFFs? I mean, first of all, Launchpad truly is everybody’s friend. Second, I prefer to see Launchpad/Drake between the lines of my duck shows, and I assume that’s probably not going to be allowed, but I enjoyed the concept of Launchpad/Penny and was getting more onboard throughout this episode. Which makes this the best of both worlds for me. And finally, oh my goodness, I am sure Disney wouldn’t allow it but damn that was a meaningful pause she gave between “earth” and “men”. So in conclusion I am now happily shipping Launchpad/Drake and Penny/Della and want to see them go on many disastrous double dates.

-oh and let’s not forget that I spied a little Disney’s California Adventure reference with Glomgold’s face on the ferris wheel. I’d like to believe the gondolas--sorry, glomdolas--and the prospect of getting stuck on them was a WDW reference, but I am not sure how likely such a reference would be.

-overall the episode was just a wonderful ride.

Ducktales Reviews!: The Split Sword of Swanstatine! or Sometimes You Just Have to Punch Your Problems Away

The race for the missing mysteries takes Scrooge, the kids and a sorta hyjacked Lena and Violet to a mystical market to hunt down the pieces of the mythical sword of the warrior king swanstanine. Naturally a split artifact leads to a vignette episode as the kids pair up to find the pieces while Scrooge and Heron face off. Dewey and Webby face blindness, Louie and Violet face Louie’s reputation as an underworld kingpin, and Huey and Lena face Huey’s Feral Side. The race is on with full recap and spoilers under the cut. 

Not a lot of background here.. I was excited enough for this one as Steelbeak and Rockerduck came back, but I went from “This will be pretty good and oh look Flula Borg” to HOLY SHIT LENA AND VIOLET ARE BACK LET’S GO ALREADY. So yeah, there’s not a lot to get started here that can’t be done as we go, let’s get out there and talk about some ducktales.  We open in a vast marketplace whose name i’ve already forgotten.. it’s almost 4 in the morning here and I have terrible memory with name sometimes, I make no apologizes. Naturally given the big declaration at the end of the last episode the family is on the hunt for a missing mystery.. and Dewey is on the hunt for Street Meat, though Scrooge denies him any till they get the job done... I mean they can eat and go treasure hunting. They can do two things. Let him have some lamb dammit, spiced lamb is fucking delcious you monster! Or whatever that is the point is it’s larged, well seasoned and makes me hungry!  But starving his grandchildren aside, Scrooge has no doubt they can acomplish this as a family.. and then notices his future in laws are also there and his whole big speech game is thrown off by the question of why. To me it’s because we need more of them, quit old man your already 0-2 this episode, but turns out the explination is one of the funniest jokes of the season.. and this is a season that’s include “There now your susceptible to vampires”, “Yipiee Kai Yay Mr. Falcon!”, Darkwing’s Cookbook, Gene’s Soda Commerical, Gladstone having a mental breakdown over having to be a normal person, and Della trying to deflect the blame for traumatizing children. This bit is on par with that.  Violet explains that Scrooge told everyone to get on the plane. I assume Donald and Della are with their signifigant others, Beakly was getting some much needed therapy and Launchpad.. was flying the plane.. and also had Drake and Gosalyn with him because he double booked and had to take them with him to assist whatever ex of his is in trouble this week. Point is that bit’s freaking hilarious and Scrooge simply asks if they enjoy history and the answers are a predictable “Not really” from Lena, which given her own personal history is vast, terrible, and traumatizing up until the last year and her adoption by two gay men, relationship with a charming young lady, and gaining a beloved nerdy sister, that tracks. Violet of courser says it’s her life. Scrooge takes it: He’s used to having half his adventuring party either not caring about culture and history, the Saberwings just keep the average up. So Webby does the natural thing and tackle hugs her girlfriend and future sister in law while Scrooge smiles because why wouldn’t you. 

And I was happy about this: not just hte tackle hug, because that was precious, but Scrooge eagerly accepting them along for the ride. I was worried for half a second that as good as the gag was that’d be the episodes big underlying issue.. but nope, his confusion was more “Wait why are the extra children here”, than questions of worth and given their previous appearance had him willingly inviting them along, and Lena and Violet only opting out due to fears about her magic getting them all killed and to support her sister, it woudln’t of made any character sense for him not to, doubly so since their up against a shadowy organization of ruthless thugs. Granted Beakly likely sighed after returning from her midnight therapy and called the Saberwing parents by Ty and Indy are probably used to their daughter’s friends elderly Uncle taking them to strange places in the middle of the night by this point. I mean one of their daughters can turn bluper sayain now, the ship on normal behavior kind of sailed over a cliff a while ago. 

But Scrooge soon detects what he thinks is heron but is actually a woman who justifiably punches him. Turns out Heron was actually hiding in a stall though, and brought all her friends with her.. except Blot.. and while at first I was going to make a joke I realized they probably don’t want the guy who drains the magic out of everything near a magic artifact he’d probably destroy despite the consequences. So Bradford probably just sent him to murder the lucky charms leprechaun... he DOES have a life outside of trying to Murder scrooge... he can want to murder cereal mascots too. He’s a renascence evil mastermind. A sword fight ensues, with Scrooge telling the kids to pair up and go find the pieces while he keeps Heron busy. 

Cue Credits and cue the episode itself being split into three vignettes. I do love vignette episodes, episodes of half hour shows that split into 3 different stories taking place at the same time and break from the formula, with two of the best I can think of being the Avatar classic “Tales from Ba Sing Sei”, most famous for the really gutpunching bit with Iroh singing at his dead son’s grave.. jesus I teared up, not a joke or an exaggeration literally teared up, just thinking about it. On the opposite end we have the season 12 Simpson’s episode Trilogy of Error, which while during when the rot started to set in for the series is easily a classic on the sam tier as the first 10 seasons. It alfeatured an at the time young Daniel Radcliff as Lisa’s love interest, Marge getting accused of attempted murder after accidently chopping homer’s finger off, Bart and Milhouse turning informant ont he mob and  the tragic life of Linguo. It’s a classic. 

But yeah three pieces, three teams of two, and three story segments. So like last week I can easily divide the stories up and unlike last week I won’t be frontloading or forgetting anything since their divided up much more evenly and are played back to back to back rather than intercutting. So with that in mind...

Dewey and Webby: The Hidden Truths of Temporary Blindness and the Albino Snakes We Mistook for Cats Along the Way

The Dynamic Duo Returns! Seriously I did the legowork, I.e. went to google and despite the two’s dynamic being a sizeable part of season 1 and a plot point at the start of season 2, which also put the final nail in my shiping them coffin as it was very clear they were basically siblings in all but blood at this point and I wisely jumped off the ship and nuked it from orbit. But outside of Webby’s subplot with Dewey and Louie in “The Town Where Everyone Was Nice!”, it just.. hasn’t come up again. They’ve just had other dynamics to explore with the show and thus the two really haven’t interacted as much for the rest of the series thus far. They still interact, it’s just not really as a major part of any episodes plot till now. So while not a pairing I was expecting it was nice to have it back. For about ten seconds.  Yeah cards on the table this is the weakest of the three segements. While the other two have intresting settings, setups, and character dynamics we genuinely haven’t seen this one has.. a weird version of a dynamic we’ve seen done better, and an antagonist who feels oddly flat this go round. It’s just not THAT intresting despite some intresting moments but it’s best to just get into it to explain why. 

The basic setup is Webby is hoping to use bold de-ducktion to figure things out while flying under the radar while Dewey’s solution is naturally to ask everyone they meet, and then shout at Gandra when they do find the piece. This naturally gets a flashbang thrown at them, though we do get one great bit where Gandra asses their threat levels with Webby’s being high and Dewey’s being Eh, which tracks. And the thing that stings here is.. Gandra COULD’VE been an intresting opponent for Webby. While Huey and Violet, being fellow genuises as well as Huey’s personal stake in it for her hurting Fenton last year/season would be a better match, pitting Webby against someone just as focused and thought out in fighting, but who rather than use strength uses cybernetics and various gadgets would be really intresting, especially since the other two villian matchups are equally perfect. But instead.. it just feels like Gandra could’ve been replaced with a random fowl soldier. She just uses a flash grenade and some pakour, no real unique skills of hers or insight into her character or anything remotley intresting on her first Fenton-less outing just... “eh I use tech stuff because i’m the tech girl bleh”. The show can do better, and Jameela is given nothing to work with to the point I genuinely worried she’d been replaced.. she hadn’t, but it’s NEVER a good sign when you give an actor so little to do character wise I can wonder that. Also it’s a bit of a nitpick but it genuinely bothers me that Flula Borg, John Hodgman and Jason Mantzokus all got guest star credits.. but April Winchel and Jameela Jamil got nothing. And you could say April’s a long standing voice actor and all that.. but Tress Macneile also got a guest starring credit for next week’s episode solicit, so it’s clearly not that, and just comes off unintetionally sexist and obnoxious and has bothered me since the episode summaries came out. 

That out of the way the basic conflict is our heroes are flying blind, literally, with Dewey able to easily amble along, while Webby struggles as she can’t analize blind.. which comes off as bullshit to me. I HIGHLY doubt Beakly, paraoid mess she is, would not train her granddaughter to be able to fight without seeing. It’s one of the most basic training techniques in media. There’s a reason it pops up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a lot. To fight on instinct and with your other senses. And the instinct part is the lesson and insn’t a bad idea, it’s just the tool they use for it means they have to make Webby entirely helpless in a way that’s nonsensical to her character to make the plot work and it drags the bit down, thoguh we do get an utterly hilarious bit where Dewey mistakes a coiled white snake for a kitten. But our heroes make it through, Webby eventually saves Dewey with a leap of faith and Dewey has Webby hit a flash grenade back at Gandra which works somehow and blinds her optics despite you know.. someone who uses this kind of tech probably being smart enough to protect her own cybernetic eyes from flashbangs. But the kids have the piece.. and  a snake now even if it terrifies them. I wish one of them had taken it home a snake fits either of them and Webby’s dealt with worse.. which is the whole problem with this segment. That being said getting to see Dewey pull a hank venture and turn his normal near-suicidal reckleness into a strength was great I just with it was framed in a way that wasn’t “plannig and knowing things is stupid USE IMPULSE”. Thankfully we can move on.  Louie and Violet: The Silver Tongued Viper and The Violet Blade versus the Billion Dollar Man

Next up is Violet and Louie, a team up I didn’t expect at all but works well, and is a much better contrast. Webby and Dewey are similar enough, despite his rampant stupidity, that having a “one side teaches the other how to use something else and tap into their inner self”lesson didn’t work> Here it works perfectly: Someone who speaks frankly and seeks the truth through reason and research paired with someone whose greatest and most cherished talent is the ablility to lie and swindle. It’s a good contrast. Their headed for the underworld since, as I forgot to mention, each of the clues is framed as coming from the heavens (the first piece being on top of a statue), the underworld and the heart of the earth.

 Violet, and understandbly given her sister is magic and the general nonsense the duck family runs into, takes the underworld part literally taking an axe and some coins to pay the ferryman with her. Louie however figures it’s usually just a flowry way of putting a con..  and while he’s wrong about mythology given the ducks have met gods and the ENTIRE next episode (which likely features selene since i’ts now established they leave out guest stars if there’s more than three apparently) is about the gods they met... his instincts are not wrong and it is nice they aren’t. Sure some myths are real but sometimes a clue isn’t literal, and it’s clever that hte underworld here is the criminal underworld. 

Turns out center piece for the sword is an underground den for the criminal underworld focused around spice eating and general no goodnik shenanigans and Louie’s come prepared. In a bit of character stuff I REALLY love, Louie’s built up a rep as “The Silver Tounged Serpent”, with him bluffing that violet is his companion, having simply used a web of lies and word of mouth to build him up as the worst and most vile criminal imaginable. It’s not a bad plan and while Violet rightly points out he’ll have to live up to it eventually, and Louie naturally deflects that as “Future Louie’s” problem, not realizing in this case Future Louie is about 2 minutes from being present Louie, it’s not a bad scheme. Sure it’s risky as hell and he picked the worst place to use it.. but having an alias he can use to sneak into places like this where Scrooge would be made in an instant, and can easily come up with lies for the rest of his family minus Huey, whose useless not for being easily detectable but because he can’t lie to save his life and this very episode cements it. Most of his family is certified grade a badass, and can easily help him bluff or back up his claims or make him look like one. it’s just this time he happened to get Violet instead whose brutally honest and while badass, isn’t great at running con games nor pleased about any of this. That and Louie’s biggest weakness is forthought: While his brothers either don’t plan at all or overplan, Louie underplans: He has good ideas and good schemes and scams.. it’s just he has no real endgame for any of them and Violet sees right through that.  Still meeting the Spice Baron, played by Flula Borg who I mostly know from this song he did with Ninja Sex Party, though I also forgot he was in PItch Perfect 2...

Your welcome. But while he’d like to give our fake arch criminal his prize, someone else already offered him a literal, not figurative ton of cocaine.. I mean Gold. Got the wrong show there for a second. Unsurprisingly it’s Rockerduck whose done this and unlike the wasted opprotunity above this battle of wits is between the perfect opponents. Rockerduck is easily what Louie would become without his family: A shifty conman with a flair for lying, contacts in the criminal underworld and aversion to doing the hard work himself. He’s such a perfect opponent for Louie I don’t know why I never considered the two going head to head before, but it’s utterly fantastic. John Hodgman is also far and away the MVP of the episode guest villain wise, with some of the best lines too, my favorite being, after making a spice pun, demanding the assorted roughnecks “Laugh, LAUGH AT MY SPICE PUN”.. just the way he demands it with a mixture of karen and a whiny teenager is inspiried. But yeah, Rockerduck knowing who he’s dealing with challenges Louie to a spice duel, basically eating the hottest spices imaginable till one folds, winner takes all.  Naturally Louie’s ep included being a champion at this, and naturally his first instincts are to bail and when that fails, keep lying while Violet encourages him not to. I mean he’s ignored the pink and red angels on his shoulder telling him not to do bad things, why would the new purple one be any different. But Rockerduck has the edge as his taste buds were burned off in cryo.. though in another great line he laments he can never enjoy hard boiled eggs again. Which fair enough but.. you know two geniuses.. one of them can simulate taste buds. Regardless, Louie’s in trouble and his attempt to simply cheat his way out fails and the baron dosen’t tolerate Cheaters.. or Cheetahs.. or Cheating Cheetahs as seen in a great sight gag with a cheetah which requires the Baron to clarify it’s both. Point is Louie is screwed.. but Violet then downs all three, without a bead of sweat for reasons the episode explains at the end of this segment, but works since we don’t know violet well and the mystery of how she did it is a compelling question for a second. Our heroes have won but Rockerduck plays his trump card: that they aren’t who their saying they are.. but turns out the truth is even better than the lies Louie has, as Violet quickly spins Louie’s legend with the outright acomplishments he’s had, including defeating the bombie and defeating Scrooge’s entire Rogue’s gallery with a pen stroke.. both true. And unlike the last segement this bit of true strength feels earned: Louie’s other ablility besides lying is seeing all the angles.. and thus like Violet.. he sees the truth. He can see what a person feels, know them better than they may know themselves or the lies they might tell themselves simply through a keen eye. He can pick apart a million dollar defense system simply with a few glances as seen last episode. Louie’s lies may be useful.. but his biggest strength is inddeed his ablility to see the truth. Louie backs violet up as conquerer of the shadow realm (techincally true) and scourge of magica de spell (not even remotely true as Magica has the same problem with face blindess scrooge has with Darkwing and just Darkwing but with everyone). Rockerduck tries to complain but the crowd turns on him, our heroes escape, and Louie compliments violet. As for how she did it meditation, which fits her pefectly so I easily accept it, and a spice of the month club.. which is oddly specific but eh, this bit was really fun so i’ll give it to her. Plus her usualy steely demanor means she likely has a great poker face.. as seen by the fact sh’es soon guling a nearbye trough of water and screaming. Great.  As you can tell I liked this segment better, as it’s a clever duel that uses wit instead of strength ilke the others this episode, and forces Louie to find his real strength as his usual one backfires and really helps define Violet even more giving her a strong sense of truth, which fits her like a glove, and a nice dynamic with Louie. It was an odd pairing, but it worked wonders and brought the episode back to life after the last segment killed some of the momentum. And thankfully that momentum keeps rolling into the best segement:

Huey and Lena: Harnessing Your Inner Feral Goblin Child for the Greater Good

As you’d expect, our heroes are doing what they do best: Lena is trying to reign in a quirky nerd, and Huey is overthinking everything by trying to triangulate where the blade of the sword is. Naturally Lena just finds it as it’s embeeded in a compasss pattern on the earth, hence being part of the earth. Unsurprisingly Lena’s solution.. is to wack it free with a mallet... you know there’s a reson she’s one of my favorites and it’s nice to see two of my faviorites who haven’t interacted hardly at all have some time together. Naturally Huey objects to destroying the thing they came for and figures out how to remove it using the clues. Unfortunately for him, but happily for me, Steelbeak is back! 

I missed this feral asshole, and Jason while not getting a ton of lines sadly, does make the best of what he has, and is used less as himself on purpose. Also while he’s still kind of a moron, as I mentioned in my Tiff of the Titans review, this version is still CLEVER. He may not be book smart, but he can think on his feet and come up with plans and here.. his plan was the best of the three we’ve seen: Just wait for the ducks to come by and solve it for him and then beat them up and take it or as he puts it “Not the first time a nerd did my homework for me. “ Dumb dosen’t always mean incompetent, and he still has his classic self’s easy sense of planning.  Had Lena not been there he would’ve won his piece and been the ONLY member of his group to do so. But Lena is there and now fully trained, so she stops steelbeak by freezing time, Za Warudo! style. Though unlike DIO she can’t manipulate anything, or go get a steam roller though given her powers she can probably make something into one, so tha’ts still on the table. She instead enters someone’s mindscape and uses that to freeze time for a bit.. how .. I have no idea, but it’s an interesting concept and the white look of the void their in now is neat, with only steelbeak himself present in a black and white negative of himself.  Huey takes this as time to plan indeiftely till he finds one that works, shooting down actually fighting Steelbeak as “a cowardly brute’s way out”. We then get a great montage as Huey tries everything, from reasoning, to barganing, to crying, to a TON of hilarious and obviously ineffectual disgusies, to lying.. which as you’d expect is simply holding the massive sword blade behind his back and going “what sword.” It’s a really great montage that shows off two things: Danny Pudi’s talent, and that Huey.. can’t reason or trick his way out of this. He can’t plan his way out. And that’s why Steelbeak is the perfect foe to put him up against: Unlike Webby who faced something she could understand and Louie, who simply faced his evil counterpart, Huey faces his exact oppsotie: Huey thrives on logic and as we soon learns bury’s his emotions and impulses and dosen’t fight unless he HAS TO and even then it’s usually in a group. Steelbeak.. is a dumb, impulsive, thug who thinks out his plans on the fly, if at all, laughs at logic, and thinks the best solution to everything is punch it or blow it up. He can’t be reasoned with, Huey isn’t good enough at deception to trick him, and outrunning him was the first thing Huey tried and failed miserably. Steelbeak is made of huey’s blind spot, his inablaity to act without thinking. And he can’t fight it. 

While Lena’s humored him despite her annoyance with Huey’s stubborness, she finally breaks and tries to force him to admit he has to brute force his way out, with Huey refusing.. but his refusal brings out a door to “the duke of making a mess”. Naturally something this ominous and personal, and the fact they have no other options and she wants to prove a point, is catnip to Lena who lets the king out.. who turns out to be what you’d get if Bart Simpson’s evil deformed twin Hugo and the messed up Dipper Clone from Gravity Falls did a fusion dance. While also in a nice nod looking VERY similar, with his broad fangs and red eyes, to the evil version of mickey from runaway brain. It’s also somehow the SECOND TIME i’ve seen a child supress his negative emotions to the point they manifested into a person shoved deep inside our hero’s head. Lena naturally loves this feral goblin who Huey explains as all his impulses and emotoins, his spur of the moemnt ones anyway, funneled into one being so he can use logic and only logic.  So basically.. Huey is bruce banner.. get.. this kid.. some therapy. 

Point is Huey dosen’t want to embrace his wild side, while Lena points out he needs to, and that sh’es learned from experince being a part of ones self someone ignored entirely as Magica’s shadow he can’t just ignore this and hope it goes away. And given Bruce Banner eventually got several more split personalities which turn into hulking rage monsters, which are a sadist with a good core, a raging child and a las vega leg breaker, and that KO repressing TKO just lead to his other half killing everything he loved and only getting that snapped back thanks to god himself... yeah maybe Lena’s right. And this really brilliantly plays into Lena’s development: Her past two episodes have been entirely about her solving a problem, her nightmares and her wondering magic, that she’s been running from by facing it. She’s learned by now you can’t just ignore something and expect it to go away. Again, that’s how you get Hulks. You have to face your sometimes literal demons and yourself to get better and make things better. And now she’s learned that, it’s Huey’s turn. His entire problem has been that he functions entirely on reason and when reason can’t work, he falls apart. It’s something I honed in on last week and has come up again. The point Lena, and the episode, is making with this bit is that sometimes you just have to trust yourself and go with your gut.  Huey, reluctnatly lets the duke out who goes Donald on Steelbeak... seriously while the big team shot of the cousins and triplets at the end of season 2 showed Huey as Fethry.. he’s easily the most Donald of the group. He’s considerate, romantic, seriously the date he set up for Fenton really was sweet and Violet is in for some very nice evenings.. but also stubborn, prone to mental breakdowns, badly needs therapy (which donald IS getting so there’s hope), and when angry is a demon sent straight from hell. I REALLY hope this gets pointed out at some point.  However without focus the Duke is useless so Lena convinces Huey that he needs to not fight the duke as some evil demonic part of him but accept him: USE his rationality and strategy with his more violent and angry impulses. The two reunite with a hand shake, seriously i’m getting so many KO and TKO vibes this episode what the actual hell, and thei rmerged self easily beats steelbeak witha  wedgie and tied shoelaces. It’s beautiful to see and Lena is brought to tears.  Before we get to the finale, this was EASILY the best segment, using Lena’s character growth to faciltiate Huey’s that’s been going on all season: making him see he needs to step out of his comfort zone of logic and accept his own inner strenght, his complete self, to really function. It’s good well done stuff and the setting is really intresting.  THE FINALE: You are my Inner Strength

So naturally all the parts come together as Scrooge and Heron’s fight lands near Huey and Lena with Webby, Dewey, Violet and Louie all showing up soon after. Scrooge in a really nice moment is  utterly proud of the kids, having had the utmost faith in them to get the pieces, and having his faith validated. He may be a cynical, sometimes assholish, old man.. but he loves and believes in his kids and future kids in law, he trusts them more than himself and he’s come far enough to not doubt them when he needs them most. FOWL however has regrouped, and Scrooge.. just gives them the assembled sword. Unsurprisingly, if still awesomely this is a ploy: Heron tries using the sword.. but it flies out of her hand and into Scrooges. He out gambited them. Also getting JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure vibes this episode with all the planning and counter planning and I am loving it. As he explains the sword reponds to true inner strength,  while heron is all surface level: All malice and schemes and nothing beneath her character, as are the others. There 3 dimensional characters.. but their all pretty open with who they are and not really open to introspection, where as our heroes are and thus grew.. and Scrooge already knows his inner strength: The kids. THey helped him  become a better person, all of them except violet and she just joined the family give her time. They’ve all helped him let his walls down and let people in again after the tragedy of della destroyed him emotionally and put the walls up thick, with Lena being the one to finally get him to destroy them for good. They’ve all helped him be better and he’s helped them all be better in turn, giving them a live of adventure where there their best selves and becoming great kids who will become incredible adults. Their love for one another is what drives them. And thus activates the sword. FOWL seemingly decides to just book and our heroes have won.  Scrooge rewards his kids, new additons included, with some street meat cut byt he sword, and we get nice little shots of the lessons having sunk in with Huey knawing into his like a rabid wolf and Dewey and Webby sharing theirs blindly i’ts a sweet conclusion to a fun episode. But given we’re in the thick of the story arc now, FOWL naturally didn’t just book it for no reason.. this was all a setup. Heron calls back to Bradford with a mission accomplished and a lock of scrooge’s feathers. 

It’s genuinely impressive as there’s no way F.O.W.L. can loose here: They win the sword.. and they have both the feathers for whatever nightmare they have planned for the Ducks, and another Missing Mystery for their grand scheme. They loose.. and they likely already have a plan to get any mysteries the ducks gather, just like last time, and they still get what they want. Either way Scrooge and the audience are unaware of the real plan, and FOWL is still ahead. 

Dew-abolical! 

Final Thoughts for the Episode as a Whole:

While a bit weaker than the last two weeks, and almost entirely thanks to the first segment, this episode is still a fun ride and a great way to kick things off now the ducks and F.O.W.L. are both on the offensive. It was also a great way to bring the Saberwing Sisters back and give them some fresh dynamics outside of Webby for a change, bring back some old faviorite vilians and in general pack a fun, Barks and Rosa style adventure story into the myth arc while still dripping with the character progression and dynamics this show lives for. One dark spot aside this really is a great episode, and the other two segements are clever and fun enough to easily ignore that. This season continues to be the show at it’s absolute peak doing what it’s always done best: taking the past and making something fantastic with it.  Next Week: The kids, sadly minus my girls, audition to replace Zeus! Horay! Finally Zeus got MeTooed! It took long enough.. I mean they wrote entire sonets about his sex crimes. This isn’t a Bill Cosby situation where it suprised the general public, no one liked him since greek times to begin with. Also DAISY RETURNS! Horay! And so does the incredible storkules, MASTER OF COCKBLOCKING!  Also Horay! Seriously unlike the last two blocks of episodes there’s not a one i’m not excited about in the bunch.  Until then you can check my blogs for more reviews, and I plan to do the first episode this month and adjust my patreon rewards accordingly. You can follow said patreon at pateron dot com/popculturebuffet, comission reviews of other ducktales or cartoon episodes for 5 dollars an episode by shooting me an ask or message on here, and get out and vote tomorrow.. that’s not related to me but given how crucial this election is. Do it get out and vote. Until we meet again it’s been a pleasure.

DID YOU SEE THE NEW SCREENSHOTS FOR LGD!!?? GOSALYN I'M CRYING!!

I DID IM SO FUCKING EXCITED AND STIMMY!!! Gosalyn is so small though holy shit. And Taurus Bulba is massive

[tysabrewing-s]

GUYS HOLY SHIT HOLY FUCK I WENT SOMEWHERE TODAY FOR A LONG TIME AND I CONE HOME TO GOSALYN GOOFY DAISY THE PROMO TRAILER OH GOD OH FUCK IM FUCKING LOOSING MY BITCH ASS RN WHAT THE HELL

[violetvenom]

raeloganthesonic06fangirl replied to your photoset: Okay, we all have noticed how both got the same...

What if… like, Claire is… a distant relative of Gosalyn that neither of them actually know? Like, maybe cousins or something, but because Gosalyn was raised by her grandfather, that implies that something happened to her parents when she was young, so maybe there’s relatives of Gosalyn who haven’t been able to meet her and therefore don’t know she exists?

Rae! Srsly!? There is a reblog button! So much small texts to reply too.... holy shit. XD

Well, that could be a possibility but the coincidence would be way too weird. I mean..even more weird as the whole part of her role anyway.

[antibioware]

Between Darkwing and lil bulb!

HOLY SHIT IT COULD BE HER IF WE GET GOSALYN THIS SEASON I’M GONNA DIE
