@fluffbruary Day 6
It came to a head in the armoury.
It started long before that, of course. God knew Leon hasn’t ever had a moment of peace in his life, much less since Morgana decided to go on an insane rampage of a dictatorship and he swore loyalty to Arthur at the Table, binding himself and the prince in the strange coalition of a court healer, two servants, a blacksmith, a woodcutter and two wanderers.
Leon was intensely proud of being part of Arthur’s inner circle – and not only because he had known Elyan and Gwen since childhood, Lancelot previously, and had respected Merlin ever since the man had demanded he open the doors to the throne room and talked Arthur down from the most politically unstable ascension to the throne in living memory. No. He had seen that day, the bindings that true loyalty and respect could create, and he would’ve been humbled at being included in it even if he’d known none there but the Prince Regent.
Others did not feel that way.
Knights who had been high in his esteem all his life were rapidly losing respect at the repeated sneers, the ragging that went far beyond casual joking, and the refusal to spar with the newly anointed common-born knights.
While the others chafed under it, Gwaine bore it easily, sauntering around, offering ale, making rude jokes, his eyes shrewd all the while. Leon liked the man, but he was sure he had depths he wasn’t showing them. However, his loyalty ultimately lay with Arthur (though it went through Merlin first) so Leon trusted him.
Trust. It was another thing that bound those at the Table – all of them had offered their lives to the cause, after all nobody could’ve expected the army to explode into ashes. Leon might not have known every person there very well, but in that moment, he had trusted every single one of them in a way he didn’t even trust his other fellow knights.
Especially not now.
Sir Bors gave a particularly cruel laugh as Sir Vidor ‘accidentally’ tripped Elyan. The man calmly stood up, ignoring them and instead brightly chatting with Percival about training that morning. Gwaine good-naturedly complained that Arthur was trying to kill them.
“Can’t even handle training,” Sir Alinor muttered under his breath, snorting. Leon noticed Merlin stopping his job of handling Arthur’s sword, worrying his lips and glaring at the knight.
“Weren’t you complaining about the same thing this morning?” Sir Galahad asked interestedly. Leon hid a smile.
The common-born knights had nearly as many allies as they did protestors, which was good. He couldn’t have defended them all on his own.
“Different,” Sir Vidor answered.
“How so?” Merlin piped up.
“Mind your own business, boy, and get back to His Highness’ side.” Sir Vaughnes snapped. They’d all gotten used to Merlin’s general disinterest in prostrating for authority in about two weeks of meeting him, and by the second time Arthur had defended him.
“No, he asked a good question,” Leon said this time. Elyan and Percival stopped talking in that purposefully loud way. Gwaine leaned into the wall, took a sip from his hip flask and watched carefully. Lancelot was – as always – next to Merlin. “Why should it be different when a new knight complains regarding training than an old one? Besides, they’ve been here for nearly two moons already. No one can say His Highness isn’t running us ragged.”
Merlin had theorized idly that he was trying to take out his anger about Morgana on them so that they were prepared if she ever attacked again. Leon hoped he found another way soon, and not just because this unhealthy for everyone – for Arthur mentally, for everyone else around him physically.
“New knights,” Sir Bors said contemptuously.
“What about it?” Gwaine said sharply.
“I did think that was what Arthur meant when he had us kneel and vow our loyalty and told us to right,” Percival said amiably.
“You dare call the Prince Regent by his name?” Sir Vidor demanded, turning near purple in anger, grabbing his scabbard and standing up.
Gwaine did the same, challenge in his eyes.
“That is enough!” Leon said in his best I-am-First-Knight-and-you-will-not-disobey-me voice. “Arthur himself told us to call him that. These men were courageous and loyal enough to follow him into battle when there was no hope for a win. They are trustworthy and deserving of their status and I will not have you suggest otherwise. And neither will the Prince Regent.”
Leon was relieved to see that at the mention of Arthur the ‘righteous’ anger seemed to dissipate, and everyone grudgingly settled down. It would take more than this for Lancelot, Elyan, Gwaine and Percival to be truly trusted, but for now this was enough.
Alas, he spoke too soon. He should’ve known better than to think he would actually get his peace that easily.
“The others, perhaps,” Sir Vaughnes bit out, sounding pained to even concede that much. “But that one—” he pointed at Lancelot. “Cheated his way into our honourable ranks. How can you claim he can be trusted?”
Lancelot paled, stepping backwards. Gwaine’s mouth dropped unflatteringly open. Elyan seemed surprised, but Percival merely clenched his jaw. Leon had hoped this would not be brought up.
“Be as that may,” Sir Galahad replied. “The Prince Regent knighted him again, so it is hardly our judgement to make. Besides. He did slay the beast when he was here.”
Lancelot grimaced, as though not wanting to take credit for that. There was modesty, Leon thought, mentally rolling his eyes, and then there was the utter foolishness Lancelot was doing. Why wasn’t he capitalizing on that?
“That doesn’t matter,” Sir Vaughnes snapped lividly, clearly unable to see that the others were shaking their heads, aware that this was a bad fight to pick. “He’s a cowardly lying scoundrel who doesn’t in the least deserve the station of—”
“Actually,” Merlin announced casually, walking right in front of the ranting knight, “That was me.”
“Merlin!” Elyan called in a whisper. Leon wanted to groan – didn’t Merlin know better than to interfere in a fight where he was permanently at a disadvantage, being common-born? – before actually registering the words.
“What?” Sir Vaughnes asked, sounding as befuddled as Leon felt.
“I forged the seal,” Merlin clarified, shrugging. “I was the one who convinced him to take it because he was my friend and he saved my life, and he is entirely deserving of being a knight.”
Lancelot blushed. “Wait – no, that wasn’t – it was me—”
“Shut up, Lance,” Merlin said cheerfully. “Don’t go taking credit for my stuff.”
For some reason, that did shut him up. Leon wondered why, but was too disoriented to think too much about it. Pieces fit together. He had thought about it – Lancelot was too honourable to come up with a scheme like that, but he’d shrugged it off as an act of desperation. Merlin, though. Insubordinate, cheerful, cheeky, cunning, loyal Merlin. It suited him. Of course he would do it for Lancelot.
“You!” Sir Vaughnes said furiously. “How dare you lie to the Prince Regent! How dare you commit such deceit! How can you live in the citadel day-in and day-out after having done something like this?”
Merlin hummed obnoxiously, only stopping when Sir Vaughnes stopped talking, breathing heavily. “Oh, sorry,” he said innocently. “Were you saying something? I just heard some nonsense being spouted by a noble-born--” And he swore so badly even Gwaine looked impressed.
Sir Vaughnes exploded in incandescent rage. “You goddamn serving boy,” he hissed, and grabbed Merlin by the front of his shirt and fisted his hand and drove it into Merlin’s face.
So hard was the punch that blood spilled out instantly, shining like copper in the light.
“Merlin!” Gwaine screamed immediately. “Vaughnes, GET AWAY FROM HIM!” Lancelot looked furious and ready to jump Sir Vaughnes.
Merlin wasn’t paying any attention. “Terrible – punch,” he choked out. “Not getting enough practice these days? No poor idiots erroring near you?”
Sir Vaughnes growled. “SHUT UP, YOU FILTHY LOW-BORN—”
“Peasant, I know,” Merlin smirked. “I mean, I’d rather be a pig than you, so that insult isn’t really much.” Then he made a show of skeptically running his eyes over the man’s body. “Actually, I’m sorry. The pig doesn’t deserve to be compared to you. At least it shows a modicum of—”
He didn’t get to finish. Sir Vaughnes screamed and pressed at Merlin’s throat, ignoring both Gwaine and Lancelot pulling at and shoving him.
It was a mad tumble of bodies everyone was overwhelmed by, until:
“ARTHUR!” Merlin howled, still dangling from Sir Vaughnes’ hand.
There was rapid movement. Sir Vaughnes dropped Merlin, moving backwards, and at the same time, the door was shoved open. “Merlin, how many times have I told you not to call me like that—” Arthur stopped the moment he saw the scene. “What--?”
He was instantly beside Merlin, eyes taking in the bruises at the throat, and the blood still flowing rapidly from the nose. He took in other details as well: the others’ stunned expressions, and the way Sir Vaughnes was holding his hand. His expression tightened.
“Sir Vaughnes,” he said icily. “Care to tell me why your hand is injured at the same time my manservant’s nose is broken?”
“Your Highness, he was provoking us, and he admitted to a crime—”
“And is his punishment your call to make?” Arthur interrupted sharply. “Are you not a knight in comparison to his low servant status? No excuses. Do you have an explanation, or not?”
Sir Vaughnes looked around, and clearly saw that none of the others was about to defend him. Pursing his lips angrily, he looked at the floor. “No, sire.”
“Our job as knights is to protect the innocent,” Arthur said, and in that moment, Leon could see the type of king he would become: someone regal, someone kind, someone honorable. “Chivalry and kindness are keystones of the Knights’ Code. How can you attack someone you are meant to guard, a defenseless servant?”
Merlin made a face at ‘defenseless’ but otherwise he was staring at Arthur with that look of deep devotion and adoration he reserved only for him. Leon had seen it once, at the Castle of Ancient Kings, and seeing it again caused a shiver down his spine.
“My apologies, sire,” Sir Vaughnes said lowly. He certainly didn’t seem truly ashamed, which caused anger in Leon. He just wanted to be let off.
Arthur clearly saw this. He didn’t show it, which was good, but Leon knew him well enough to tell the anger and disgust in his eyes. “Go to your chambers. I shall decide what to do with you later.”
“But my lord—”
“Now. Do not test my patience anymore.”
Casting an angry glance at Merlin, Sir Vaughnes left the armoury. Barely moments after he was gone. Arthur turned to Merlin. “What on earth did you go and do that for?”
Merlin shrugged, wiping blood off his nose with his hand. “It was convenient.”
“Convenient! You know I was planning on handling him. You didn’t have to provoke him. Look at what he did to you, Merlin.” The Prince Regent was clearly concerned, but he played it off. “A delicate butterfly like you. How are you not crying?”
“Clearly, I am less delicate than you think, clotpole—”
“Excuse me, sire?” Sir Galahad asked, eyebrows furrowed. “You were planning on handling him?”
Arthur glanced at Merlin. “… Someone brought to my attention that Sir Vaughnes abuses his position with regards to physical abuse to the staff and other common born people.”
No one had any doubts regarding the identity of the mysterious someone.
“I was working on a plan to oust him from his position, but then. . .” Arthur glared at Merlin.
“Look, I had to help his squire with a broken arm yesterday, and then he insulted Lancelot. I couldn’t just stand and take that.”
“But you can take the beating he gave you?” Gwaine asked amusedly, still standing next to the manservant, clearly ready to handle any other threats to him.
Merlin grinned carelessly. “Yep!”
Arthur rolled his eyes. “Very well, if he insulted Lancelot. . .” There was an insinuation there Leon couldn’t read.
Leon felt he had to at least try to defend one of his knights. “The broken arm could’ve been because he mishandled something or fell off his horse.”
Merlin shook his head. “Wrong kind of break. The one he had was from sheer brute force, and I’ve seen that in too many people not to know it.”
There was an implication there that caused Leon’s stomach to sink. Too many people. . .
Arthur grimaced. “I’m working on it,” he said quietly, fragilely.
Merlin’s whole demeanour softened. “I know you are,” he reassured him.
“And get to Gaius before all the blood drips out of you and onto my armoury,” Arthur continued, walls back up.
Merlin rolled his eyes. “Whatever you say, sire.”
He marched off. “I’m going with him,” Lancelot and Gwaine said simultaneously, already halfway across the room.
“Like they’re actually asking permission,” Arthur snorted, and Elyan, Percival, Leon and Sir Galahad all laughed.
“Sire?” Sir Bors asked tentatively. “Are you truly planning on stripping Sir Vaughnes’ knighthood? And what plans do you have for, uh. . .” He trailed off, clearly unsure what to label the situation as. Leon wondered with narrowed eyes what Sir Bors would think of anything Arthur did to reduce the plight of the common people.
“Not stripping it,” Arthur said briskly. “I’m planning on sending him to the outpost of Archenland. It’s a harsh posting, and I have people there who will report to me his every word. If he doesn’t improve, I will have him discharged with dishonour. If he does improve, he may try for the citadel again, though that will depend on others’ judgement, rather than mine.”
Leon was impressed. It was a good punishment. And since he was certain Merlin and Gwen would be the ‘others’ in question, it was fair to the servants Sir Vaughnes had apparently abused as well. Leon thought about how quickly he’d flown off-the-handle with Merlin, of how he’d spent years in comradery with the man, and felt sick to the stomach.
“As for my plans. . .” At this, Arthur visibly hesitated. “Well, they’re still in the preliminary processes. Though I hope you all will support me in them.”
“Of course, Your Highness,” Sir Galahad said instantly. Other mumbled their agreement, Elyan, Percival and Gwaine being the loudest and fiercest.
Leon had to swallow the lump in his throat. He remembered conceding fights to Arthur, the spoiled prince he’d had to tutor and despaired over one day having to follow. He looked at the man in front of him, his king, whom he would gladly and proudly be loyal to for the rest of his life.
And the people the two of them were closest to, whom he admired so much and could trust more than anyone.
“Always, Arthur,” he said honestly, and Arthur smiled.
Later….
Arthur: Wait, what crime did you confess to?
Merlin: Making Lancelot sneak into the knights. So, basically, you know, treason, identity fraud, coercion and forgery.
Arthur *rolls his eyes*: Of course you did. You know, Merlin, I’ve known you for years and you still surprise me -  it shouldn’t really, but you still do - with how idiotic – loyal too, of course, but still, immensely stupid – you can be.
Merlin: And it still surprises me how much of an ass – an incredible Prince Regent and eventually King, of course, but still a dollophead – you can be. Anything new to add, my lord?

I've seen some posts going around about Colin being in Kingsman. Imagine if Matthew Vaughn picked up J.K's slack and appreciated a well dressed Colin Farrell. Wild concept.

cloud* - siren. tried to bring down the sundancers crew to prove herself, failed miserably and ended up liking them all. flirts relentlessly but is god awful at it. 
-
additional notes:
-some of them exist in a modern au, mainly involving bram/nord/mars/murr as a ghost hunting gang who always finds themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. bram and mars form a brotherly bond over time. in modern au elena is discovered to be alive. vaughn winds up falling in love with her (it is very cute).
-i often draw sylvan and captain ryan of the silent requiem. this pirate ship belongs to my friend sept and is placed in her own world, so none of that crew is mine ;w; most of their shenanigans are in a crossover state where a very sylvan begs ryan to teach him what to do as a captain, and ryan looks after him like a son (though he’d fucken deny it). young syl is far too curious for his own good and gets into trouble a lot. sorry dad
creds: galen, aspen, enmea, faine, nord, murr, mars, tobi, phinehas, woodrow, vaughn, and paige are all characters that belong to my friend bee. michael grey belongs to my friend jake. ashton belongs to my friend rueben.  oscar and lew belong to my friend kenzie. rhubarb belongs to my friend pasta. waverly belongs to my friend cal. cloud belongs to my friend sara.

DuckTales 2017 - “Happy Birthday, Doofus Drake!”
Tumblr media
Story by: Francisco Angones, Madison Bateman, Colleen Evanson, Christian Magalhaes, Bob Snow
Written by: Bob Snow & Francisco Angones
Storyboard by: Stephanie Gonzaga, Vaughn Tada, Brandon Warren
Directed by: Matthew Humphreys
Don't eat the cake.
Tumblr media
The episode begins with Scrooge noticing that something is terribly wrong. He checks through his manor, opening a few doors to see. Webby, Lena, and Violet are dealing with a giant beast, Mrs. Beakley and Dewey are messing with a tempest in a teapot, and, in what is specifically deemed "very wrong" by Scrooge, Della actually bonding with a child that isn't the blue one. Okay, he's actually reacting to how they're both dramatically shouting about being the Legends of LegendQuest, but that doesn't seem too out of character for Della. Maybe for Huey.
After checking the whole mansion he goes back to his room, and he notices his seat is occupied by a familiar face.
Tumblr media
Goldie: Morning, Scroogie.
Scrooge wonders why she would be here, and Louie shows up to tell him he invited her in. This episode continues the Louie Inc plotline that we last saw in "The Outlaw Scrooge McDuck!". That plotline left off with Louie having a choice for his company: use Scrooge's hard work, or will it be the choice that Louie would actually pick. That choice ended up being "team up with the untrustworthy frenemy of Scrooge". Louie sees himself as a professional, he can handle this!

Not even after the opening credits roll, we see that Louie couldn't handle it, as he gets locked into a chest. Louie starts crying, saying that Louie Inc was his dream, and he thought he can be as clever as her, even calling her his hero. Goldie sees through this "crocodile waterworks" pretty much immediately, but takes kindly to Louie's training in the art of cons. That, and she needed a kid for her next con: getting into a "septleventh birth anniversary" for rich families. Who’s the birthday boy?
Tumblr media
It turns out to be this reboot's version of Doofus Drake's big birthday party. Oh boy. Admittedly, the annoying living fat joke being retooled into an awkward and spoiled rich kid with creepy tendencies isn't exactly a terrible punishment for our eyes. When I imagined the Louie and Goldie adventure back when that was teased, I never expected anything like this, that's for sure.
Tumblr media
Going away from that, anyone can guess at least one of those things Scrooge McDuck closed the door on was going to be the B plot, and it's not about that beast or the tempest in a teapot. We learn that during her adventuring days, after Donald and Scrooge would go right to sleep, Della would play a video game called Legends of LegendQuest. Huey decides to join in.
I do like the subtle joke that the "very wrong" epic speech they were doing was during the game's really long loading screen, which takes until this scene to load 100%. I would hate to say I liked it because it was the only subtle joke in this B plot, but I have to say it.
Tumblr media
The rest of this B plot takes place inside the game world. This isn't a case of a magical video game that sucks them in, they just happen to have avatars that look exactly like them with some subtle differences. Della is this strong warrior woman with a strong resemblance to Zero from Mega Man X, with what looks like a scouter from the early days of Dragon Ball Z. I am sure this show is beyond referencing that ancient "over 9000" meme.
Her son decided to go with the joy of being an ordinary farmer who farms under a giant force field, protecting his garden from the bugs that manage to get past it. The joke is that Huey is boring, but Della is fun! Huey kind of reminds me of that other red accessory wearing kid from the other show in this episode, and not the good version of her.
Tumblr media
We see Doofus's party, filled with more Beagle Boys than one might expect. Sorry to say, they do not appear that much. He has all the party quirks that would fit someone of his obscenely rich and richly obscene personality. Instead of bobbing for apples, he has bobbing for splinters. His birthday cake promises that it's not full of hair. Even Louie starts to talk to himself about the obvious joke that it will lead to, until he and Goldie get distracted by the party bags filled with gold.
Tumblr media
Louie tries to take one of those party bags, only for Doofus's parents, or "servants" as Doofus calls them, to slap his hand. These bags are meant for departing guests, and are filled with priceless heirlooms from his late Guhmeemama Frances.
Doofus's parents: Guhmeemama.
Oh yeah, whenever her name is said in this episode and Day of the Only Child, they have to whisper to themselves her name. It gets a good payoff here in many more ways than one.
Louie tries to run off with two of the bags again, this time pretending to leave the party, only for Goldie to stop him this time. Apparently, she does not want Louie to be a bad party guest! Oh, and she wants all the bags. She also will not tell Louie her plan to do so, because he would not learn anything. Oh, and she doesn't know what her plan is. A lot of her dialogue is like that.
Tumblr media
But enough about her way of talking, the "servants" announce that the "universe's perfect widdle (sic) angel" is making his grand entrance. A closed clam shows up, surrounded by angels. It's a scene very similar to a certain painting, and I really don't like where this is going.
Tumblr media
Thankfully, they don't go with him barely covering himself up with a long blonde wig. Somehow, him just popping up right behind Louie is the second worst thing that could have happened with that. As he speaks about how seeing all of his guests with their loving parents reminds him of the only parental figure he knows, he sniffs that some of these families are filthy liars that only went to his party to get his gift bags!
Tumblr media
One of those people turns out to be Percival P. Peppington, a guy that sort of looks like Willy Wonka and has at least enough money to hire Johnny, formerly of the Ottoman Empire, to pose as his kid. I looked Percival up, he's not a character from the comics, and he never appears again after this episode. Exposed, Percival ends up getting sentenced by Doofus to go into a trapdoor into his honey bin.
Percival: Don't you mean "Money Bin"?
Doofus: No. (hits button)
We never see this honey bin, but judging by the sound of bees and Randy's face when he looks down into the trapdoor, one would be wishing Doofus could just wish them into the cornfield instead. Thankfully, Doofus has mercy for the not-so-child actor, as he merely gets ejected via spring.
Seeing this, Louie whispers to Goldie that he can smell lies. He and Goldie will then talk about the plan to expose the two obvious phonies to Doofus, leaving them as the only people worthy enough to grab those money bags. They say this all out loud, because there's no way Doofus would hear them despite Louie's fear about him smelling lies!
Tumblr media
It may be possible that Louie is heavily overestimating Doofus's abilities to smelling crooks, considering who those two phonies are and at least one of their plans. There's Glomgold, with a son named Sharkbomb that always seems to stay on his right arm, and Mark Beaks, who now has a son named Boyd. Clearly, one is way more unbelievable than the other. I mean, Mark Beaks having a kid? Maybe I'm underestimating how many fangirls he has. As he shows off his family selfies, all of them with his kid with the same exact face, he says this:
Mark Beaks: Yeah, I love this, uh, what is this, uh, uh, son!
This line outright blurts out that this son is completely fake, but anyone should expect that. Doofus does not smell this lie, as he just mentions that looking at his family selfies reminds him of his family memories.
Tumblr media
This leads to Doofus sobbing and kissing his father's stomach, which happened to have a tattoo of his Guhmeemama...
Doofus's parents: Guhmeemama.
...riding on a Doofus centaur. Maybe it is best not to ask.
Glomgold also shows off his own family photos, which are surprisingly more convincing than the tech guru's, and Louie has to think fast. Thankfully, a quick trip to a nearby photo booth and Louie's not-too-convincing smiles clears that up. How it seems like Louie isn't even trying and still manages to win just seems to weaken him to me, but don't tell that to Goldie, who now wants to go on the offensive. Who is the first mark? It's not Beaks, as much as they seemed to be setting up for that joke.
Tumblr media
All of the guests get into the pool, not by choice, and Louie tells Glomgold he wants to talk to Sharkbomb alone. Glomgold decides to try his best at ventriloquism while he's underwater to expected effects. He tells Sharkbomb about how Goldie has the hots for his dad. It's cool to see that plot thread from "The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains!" get referenced, and that reference also interests Glomgold, who suddenly comes out from the water to ask if it's true.
He tries to cover it up by having his puppet son say "as if", only for Glomgold to take his own puppet son's words as an insult. Considering "Duke Baloney", this whole fight may have a bit more depth than one could see here. I don’t think it is intentional, but that is something.
Tumblr media
Eventually, that fight ends with him beheading his own son right in front of Doofus' eyes. Needless to say, Glomgold's attempt to put Sharkbomb's head back on with his spit does not please the manchild of the day. Doofus decides to send Glomgold to the honey bin.
Glomgold: Don't let go, Sharkbomb!
Sharkbomb: Don't tell me what to dooo! (lets go)
Gotta say, Glomgold and Sharkbomb ends up being one of the highlights of the episode. Kind of wish we got to see more of them.
Tumblr media
Instead, we get to see Mark Beaks and Boyd, the latter of which suspiciously doesn't want to put his head below water! Also, he seems to have the strength of a million and seventy men. I guess he really shouldn't complain. But I have a feeling he can't go out for a walk without rusting in the rain. I guessed this as soon as I saw him, anyway; it would be fitting for the tech guru.
Tumblr media
Speaking of tech, they do cut back and forth between this party plot and the video game plot, and, unlike the last episode, it doesn't do any creative transitions between them. One minute, we're watching Louie plot his schemes. In the next minute, that plot pauses so we can see a close-up of Huey talking about how the fate of the land is in Della's hands...that land being the garden. The joke is that Huey is boring!
Unlike Huey's insistence on staying in his force field bubble and playing FarmVille, Della wants him to explore the world, go to a checkpoint, and use all of that XP he's getting from those bugs to become super-powerful. This is all a metaphor for Huey not wanting to leave his comfort zone even with his mother goading him to do so. How subtle do they make this metaphor?
Huey: Hey Mom? I think I should step out of my comfort zone.
By outright saying it. As an aside, being one of the adventurous nephews, is Huey really the person that needs this lesson?
Tumblr media
Back to the more exciting plot, Boyd sure plays some mean pinball, and Doofus is taking a liking to him. Louie tries to find some dirt on Boyd, looking through Mark Beaks' Waddle profile and looking at all of the pictures with his kid. Ignoring how Boyd has the same face in every picture, the biggest tell that this kid may be a fake is that there's no baby pictures!
Louie: Where are the baby pictures? Beaks would never pass up that sweet clickbait!
Goldie: Click-what, now?
Louie's not wrong, and it's good to see one scam Goldie would never take a part in. However, they need something more obvious. Eventually, Louie gets one, as he gets connected to the Beaks Optimistic Youth Droid's Wi-Fi network.
Tumblr media
Even though Goldie isn't tech-savvy, even she can recognize an acronym when she sees it. Not willing to outright tell Doofus about his new best friend being a robot, Louie decides to just ask the B.O.Y.D. what he did two days ago.
Tumblr media
To make a long story short, it doesn't work out, as the B.O.Y.D. starts shooting lasers out of his eyes. Wow, I guess I can't avoid reviewing shows with laser-eye-using children.
Tumblr media
Eventually, his fake eyes melt, and he ends up falling into the pool. Mark Beaks laments that he's going to need a big bag of rice right before he'll need something to wash off honey, bees, and whatever else is in the honey bin Doofus sent him to. Goldie is impressed, and sends some praise to her not-really nephew about how they should team up on a more permanent basis.
Doofus is really upset that his newest best friend had their eyes melted, apparently at least the second year in a row this has happened. Much like Calvin and Hobbes' "noodle incident" and whatever led to his father getting a tattoo of a centaur Doofus, one's imagination can fill in the blanks far better than even the mighty DuckTales writers could on how that could happen. Only a minute after that aforementioned praise...
Tumblr media
Goldie: Llewellyn Duck, I am so disappointed! Ruining poor Doofus' party, trying to take all the extra bags by yourself! Who raised you?
(a minute later)
Goldie: Sorry, Sharpie, I only work for myself! I want you gone, mister!
Oh, Goldie! For reasons only Doofus seems to know, he decides to arrange that last plan with the help of the BOYD. He's able to do this thanks to him grabbing the phone that just happened to slip out of Beak's hands when he sent him to the Honey Bin earlier. Doofus presses the “Kill” button on the stolen phone, and the B.O.Y.D. rises up from the pool water, mostly unharmed. So much for needing the rice.
Tumblr media
Doofus essentially does his “psycho rich kid” shtick again, saying that his party wouldn't be complete without him beating a pinata, and he wants to hunt the most dangerous pinata: man. As he controls the BOYD, we're left to wonder if Goldie will just take the money and run, leaving Louie to get beaten by a robotic kid.
Tumblr media
Oh, of course Goldie decides to save Louie in the end, putting herself between the rapidly spinning bat and the "Sharpie". Doofus ends up saying this was all a test to see if Goldie could be a loving parent or not. This doesn't completely add up to the cover story, but maybe that was what Doofus actually wanted, as we'll soon see.
Meanwhile, in the video game, Huey finally manages to get out of the "comfort zone" by stepping out of it. This turns the force field off, causing an alien to zap it and kidnap his mom. He initially thinks that he should have just stayed in his comfort zone, but he then realizes he needs to save his Mom. He runs towards the checkpoint, and his level begins to rise. Or, as Della says...
Della: That power level... (scouter explodes)
Oh, dear.
Tumblr media
Della: ...it's over 9000!
Well, I guess they were not above it after all! Do not get me wrong: I don't hate this, and at least the line still fits. Huey becomes a Super Saiyan God The Duke and destroys the alien monster with his raw fisticuffs. That's pretty much it for this B plot; it ends with a scene where Della has to wrestle the keyboard away from him because he was getting too "not comfortable". Eh.
Tumblr media
In the A plot, we get to see the aftermath of Louie and Goldie's plot: Doofus gives Louie all of the gift bags, and Goldie's good parenthood gets rewarded by becoming the new Goldiemama.
Doofus's parents: Goldiemama.
Don’t worry, that��s not the only payoff, and the other one is so satisfying, one needs to watch the episode because I will not spoil it.
It should be obvious even from this episode that being that Goldiemama is not a pleasant reward to say the least, even without the glass dome Doofus is keeping her in. Louie, knowing this, fights with himself with whether or not he should just take the money and run. Goldie did just betray him a few minutes ago. Maybe it would be a deserved punishment to let that betrayer suffer by being in the Doofus household.
Tumblr media
Oh, of course Louie decides against taking the money and running, and goes to the rescue of his Louie Inc partner. This was a turn of events about as expected as Goldie not willing to let Doofus break the living pinata. I mean, it's not like they're just going to shoot someone into the moon...okay, that was a bad example.
Actually, come to think of it, Louie Inc doesn't really come up in this plot. Considering a future episode, he would consider stealing a business opportunity, but he has to find some way to make it technically not stealing.
As standard for my DuckTales reviews, I am not going to entirely spoil the ending of this episode. While it shouldn't be much of a spoiler to know that Louie will not be rich at the end of this episode and Goldie will be rescued, there is a very pleasant scene to see for people who just want to see Doofus' parents get something good for a change, and to see Doofus finally get something he deserved.
Tumblr media
I'll also show this: this episode ends with this oddly touching shot of Goldie slipping in one of the on-the-spot pictures of Louie, right next to a picture of dear ol' Scroogie. Awww.
How does it stack up?
At first, I didn't really like this episode, but repeated viewings did lead me to see some of the good of this episode. However, I couldn't shake off that I didn't really like the B plot. It's not the worst, but it's not great, either. The best part is that it's not the mama's boy this time.
Despite the good moments with Glomgold, and I did like the ending of the A plot, this episode didn't do as much for me as most episodes of this show. I'm not going to send it to the Honey Bin, though.
Tumblr media
Next, a nightmare!

For the EOY Writing Meme, I & J, plus any other letter you'd like to answer.
I. What’s your favorite work you did this year? Why?
Oh man, asking the tough questions here. Goes to AO3 to see what was started AND finished in 2018...
Okay I have to have a tie
Dragon’s Breath, and The Five Wonders of Merlin’s Life
The first is because of the world building I did, I spent so much time creating an utterly believable universe where Harry is a vampire, Percival and Roxy witches, and Merlin and Eggsy dragons, and made the rules stay consistent in the world, which is really hard to do.
The second because it was a Merlin that was very uncommon in our fandom - gooey, soft, actually has a life Merlin. This universe is such a comfort place for me, Merlin with five daughters? it just is so sweet and happy and makes me feel good.
J. What are the best jokes you told this year? Any jokes you thought were funny that people didn’t catch? Vice-versa?
I am the worst with jokes. Cannot tell them, and the ones I do like tend to be puns. Plus I am mired in what a 5 year old considers a joke which are just really Dada-esque knock knock jokes. And in stories, I tend not to tell many jokes, there were probably some in references to my universes that people missed but again they weren’t necessarily jokes.
Dealer’s choice V. Which story was the most viscerally pleasing to write? Tell us your narrative kinks.
Wait and See
So the Kingsman fandom has a complex and occasionally bullshit relationship with the female characters in the movie. To be clear a lot can be laid at Vaughn’s feet, but conversely a lot is at ours too. We’ve created James and Percival from scratch but we don’t often fix what was done to Tilde in the second movie.
Thus it was incredibly and viscerally pleasing to write a happy story about Michelle Unwin. Not just a story, a 77,000 word story written in exactly a month about her having a good life, while acknowledging how much she fucked up and slowly finding a strong and lasting love with an OC I created in a different universe and ported over to this story.
We spend so much time fleshing out other characters, it was so fun making her a well rounded and engaging character that was neither sinner nor saint but wholly real.

Ladies, gentlemen and variations thereupon
May I present to you!
*drumroll*
Bearded Percival!
Tumblr media
I guess this one is pretty well known.
But in case anyone didn't know yet.
Alastair McIntosh, the not-so-actorish actor of Percival, is also an extra in Stardust (and Layer Cake; like I've shown before)
I wonder, how many other Vaughn movies feature him as an easter egg.

Hey! I'm looking for neutral to masculine 'cool' or 'enigmatic' names. Not exactly stereotypical cool-guy ones; something with personality and not just macho. Sorry for the sucky explanation. My last name has two syllables, and I'd prefer something with nickname potential. Thanks!
Cool name anon. Hopefully it isn’t too late, but I’d like uncommon to rare names. Thanks again!
Gotcha! Here are some names that I think could be cool or enigmatic seeming, that are also uncommon or rarer. As well, I think a two syllable last name is really versatile and a lot of different syllable patterns could work well! I listed a few nickname options for some of them after the name:
Alistair (Al, Ali)
Ambrose
Augustus (Gus)
Byron
Cassian / Cassius (Cash)
Clark
Clayton (Clay)
Corbin
Cosmo
Cyril / Cyrus (Cy)
Damon
Dawson
Dashiell (Dash)
Dexter (Dex)
Donovan (Van)
Emil
Evander (Ev, Van)
Felix (Fox)
Fletcher (Fletch)
Flynn
Gideon
Griffin (Griff)
Harrison (Harry)
Isidore (Izzy)
Jasper (Jas)
Jesse (Jay)
Julius (Jules)
Keaton
Kellan
Leander (Lee, Andy)
Lionel / Leonidas (Lee, Leo, Leon)
Lucian / Lucan (Lou, Luke)
Malcolm (Mal)
Matthias (Matt)
Maximilian (Max)
Noel
Paxton (Pax)
Percival (Percy, Perry)
Raphael (Rafe)
Reed
Soren
Tobias / Tobin (Toby)
Trenton (Trent)
Vaughn
Valentine (Val)
Wesley (Wes)
I hope I am on the right track here, please let me know if you would like more names or were thinking of something else!

kingsman. i’m ready.
Top 3-5 things I’d change about Kingsman, you say? Let’s go with the full universe for this.
1. Merlin isn’t dead. Duh. Cinematically, I don’t think there was anything wrong with letting us think he died and bringing him back (although there is a post somewhere talking about doing it in the credits that I like better than the original version Vaughn did). If they do a third movie, bringing him back is one of my must-haves.
2. Roxy isn’t dead either. That was shitty, and her death has no dignity and I hate it. You can have more than one female character at a time, dammit (in a similar vein to that, Eggsy’s character revolved so much around his mother and sister in movie one so why the hell aren’t they in movie two at all?).
3. Give Percival more of a character arc. The fans like him, and this is a case where listening to your fans could be helpful. In fact, most of the cast of the second movie deserved better character arcs. Whiskey’s is underdeveloped, Tequila is not utilized to his full potential, Ginger was completely flat when she had a love interest (I hate it) and as such is even flatter when all those scenes got cut. I’d like to see Percival mourning so many people in such a short time. I’d like Whiskey to be set up so the plot twist makes sense (more references, more interactions with Tequila in particular). I’d like Tequila in more scenes in general. I’d like Ginger to have her own goals and aspirations, especially as a contrast to Merlin (he wants to stay out of the field and goes in and “dies,” she wants to go into the field but she stays behind her desk). I’d like better fleshed out characters, not cardboard cutouts.
4. Remove the sex scenes. We get the joke in the first one; there’s no need to show it to us. And I have an entire post detailing my issues with the one in the second movie. It’s sexist and I hate it.
5. Make Merlin gay. Vaughn said he would, then turned around and gave him Ginger as a love interest (those scenes got cut, thank god. Not hate if you ship it but I was really looking forward to finally having a canonically gay action hero). While I absolutely want him and Harry to be a canon couple in some capacity, I’m not even saying that much has to happen (it should. It works very well within canon). Just make him gay. Please.
And those are just the top five. I love Kingsman, but I have so many issues with it. Ah well. That’s what fanfiction is for.
