I love the new Chibiverse episode! We're eating up so much here!! Also me rambling bout it down below!

I was laughing and jaw dropped seeing all the characters being their opposite self in in way I didn't expect. Darryl Collecting money for charity? Scrooge giving out money?? SCRATCH EATING HEALTHY AND WORKOUT????? Well atlest he still eats food. But I think I would've been scared if Scratch opposite is refuse to eat anything. Then that is the end of the world folks lol.

Axis of Evil! I love Molly Mcmean sm. All the girls slay! And yk, I think this just gave me a fic idea that I'll never write. Hehe. Hmm but would Molly be more evil than Jinx herself? That'll be funnily concerning for sure. I would love to see Jinx meeting Molly Mcmean and seeing more of her in the future. Also did I mention that the song bops? No? WELL IT IS AND I LOVE IT!!! IT'S PEAK!!! ♥︎

Also Ford! This his first appearance in Chibiverse right? I didn't watch much but so far this is the first time I've seen him.

Love how they still have to censored words in this while in the Gravity Falls charity stream recently, from what I've seen a bit, Stan just straight up said Hell lmao.

Stan: "Good thing you're already dead."

Sigh, who's gonna tell them?

This is just funny how this is the second time they mentioned Scratch is dead despite these came out after the tgamm finale the end. The first time is from How Not to Draw Scratch.

So they need to censor Stan cussing, but not Scratch going through the traps?? Because bro, those are gruesome! Thank doom god that Scratch isn't flesh and blood or that would be a bloody mess and a real thing that need to be censored. Poor Scratch. All those chocolate coins are worth at the end. Also Stan or Ford pointing out that Scratch having a similarity with him. Honestly true.

Scrooge and Stan having a rivalry is probably my fav thing to see. Them money seeing old mens hehe XD

Love to see episodes like this more in the future! And all of these gives me a screenshot redraw ideas! I am totally gonna be doing those soon!

For the past two years I've wanted to do a screencap redraw of the classic "Mickey's Christmas Carol" in time for the holiday season, but artistic burnout often prevented me from doing anything about it. But in the last few weeks of the previous year's December, I actually managed to get a huge chunk of this piece done without getting in my own head and deleting it from my computer.

I'd like to give special thanks to an artist friend of mine, Honey Ham, for all the help they provided when I struggled with the lighting and shading.

I feel like saying this again but having it in an actual like proper post written down messily for now, so that’s what I’m doing, with confusing hopefully still grammatically correct somehow sentences included.

Scrooge’s treasure hunts are about adventure btw. Not about the treasure. Adventure is the real treasure in the end.

But Scrooge is still greedy. He shouldn’t go on adventure for the sake of it. There needs to be a treasure incentive for him to go. Look. Wait.

(I’m gonna say all a lot, and such superlative things, but I’m talking about the stories from authors that today are seen as most important)

When you look at the older treasure hunts, the thing that most people remember is awesome Scrooge goes to far away place to get rare stuff that’s worth lots. But like what many people seem to forget about a large majority of the classic stories, is that Scrooge doesn’t get the treasure. People think back and remember a successful and fun adventure, so one might assume that the treasure was also gotten, but that’s almost never the case. The classic (think around to before 70s) Donald Duck comics operate very very heavily on a continuing thread of irony and satire, arguably more so than later. The point in every adventure is that it’s never what you expect. You go looking for a cheap magical defense, and find yourself paying your nephew a proper salary. You go looking for a great medicine, and end up with thousands of dollars spend, and all the medicine spilled (and in the Scarpa twist, also accidentally smuggled jewelry). Or of course, you go looking for paradise, and end up inventing capitalism.

People seem to have kinda forgotten that this was once the norm. Nowadays you get stories where writers think they’re clever by saying: “Oh, no, Scrooge can’t take this treasure. It belongs to the government of the country he is in.” And like that’s nice, but also, that’s not a thing that should be worth pointing out.

The most famous offender of this crime is Rightful Owners, which, to be fair to Rightful Owners, is a DuckTales (look i capitalized ducktales right for once) comic, where I think this does happen, but also, to be fair to my wumblr post, it’s trying really hard to be a Barks sequel as well because Warren Spector (yeah the Epic Mickey guy) was a big fan of Barks. So you’ll get Webby telling everyone how bad Scrooge is, and it feels kinda redundant. And then the ending of that story is pretty weird as well.

But if I think about it again, what Rightful Owners does do is portray Scrooge as very unwilling to agree with Webby. He doesn’t think that the times that he did steal stuff, he was in the wrong. Because that’s the other part. Even when he gets the treasure and is basically stealing from the local population, that’s fine, because Scrooge isn’t a good person. I guess the closest you can get in tropey terms for such a situation is that specific scene makes him a villainous protagonist, but that’s not really the point. There are no hero’s or villains in ba sing se, with which I mean Duckburg, is the point.

Scrooge’s treasure hunts are about adventure, but only for us. The treasure being gained isn’t the point of the story. The story hasn’t ‘succeeded’ when the Ducks find the chest with golden coins. But it is the point for the character. The treasure hunts work because Scrooge is a greedy guy who is fine with doing that kind of stuff. The story has succeeded for him when the chest with golden coins is found.

And of course, this all comes together in the end when I say the new Ducktales does this wrong. Sorry, I did it again, this is where it all leads to in the end huh. I was in the mood okay. Ducktales bad again.

Scrooge in DT17 doesn’t find the treasure that important. He does it for the adventure. It’s to show that he’s actually not that much of a greedy bad person. But he also doesn’t mind taking stuff that’s not his. So, like, uhm.

DT17!Scrooge does often succeed, because that’s how Ducktales is. It has satire, but it’s not drenched in irony, it’s not Guido Martina writing the show. That’s not a critique of course, in case someone would think that for some reason. But DuckTales doesn’t do downer endings (last crash isn’t a downer ending it’s setup for the next episode), so you’re missing the whole part where Scrooge’s treasure hunts fail. The adventure is important, and so the adventure is what Scrooge finds important, and so if he never fails, then the adventure never fails. It’s looking at it from a completely Watsonian perspective. Adventure should only ever be the real treasure from a Doylist perspective. The comics don’t treat succeeding in the character’s goal as succeeding in having written a good story. And i had set up some other points to cycle back to in this part, but i forgot what they were because I’m stupid, so this is just kinda the point you’ll have to live with for now. I might finish this if I remember again.

I had to bring out my other super couple for my Ducktales character design project along with my favorite one.
