ROUND #6 [FINAL]

I was sad you were getting rid of trapezoid dad bc I loved the twin hexagon thing you had, but I really love the alien reproduction fuckery you made. Really emphasize it's not man and woman like humans think about it

triangle dad lost the twin hexagon thing but now has a twin rhombus thing. Or maybe a twin parallelogram thing? His brother can be the trapezoid now.

I might mess with their proportions later so that they've got closer to equal surface area while also getting their undivided shape closer to equilateral. But you get the idea.

Anyway bottom line is dad's keeping the twin thing.

Also it'll bug me until I die how people either didn't care about Boyd or just thought he was cute and not much else until AstroBOYD happened and they could use him as some cute little accessory for Gyro. I hate the concept of fake fans, but like.

i watched astro boyd last night and almost cried so here are some moments that made me unnecessarily sentimental

“try being a kid for once, huebot” and then huey bonding with boyd immediately after? like okay you can compare me to a robot but ill just go find a robot best friend thanks. crying

“that doesnt make us robots, we’re just kids!”

“get this dangerous machine out of my lab!” referring to boyd when he literally did nothing wrong and is only dangerous because hes malfunctioning which is also kind of your fault, gearloose

autism solidarity. also stimmy huey

“boyd, i dont think youre a killer robot. youre just a kid” “thats..the nicest thing anyones ever said to me” im CRYING boyds been treated like a dangerous machine and then after that just. used his whole life and now hes being treated like a regular boy by a kid whos also been made fun of and treated differently for being “weird” or different????????? this show. also it reminded me of that scene in community

”stop trying to make boyd something hes not!” tore me UP cuz thats so true!!! he was never made with the intention of being dangerous, he was supposed to be a normal boy, hes only dangerous when he malfunctions or when his settings and overridden, otherwise hes just a kid that really, really just wants to be treated like one

his basically-his-dad accepts him for who he is and hugs him and and and and and

I can't believe I actually finished a comic after years of wanting to do one (not for any specific content, just in general). 1/3 of me is wincing at the stilted ass dialogue, 1/3 is nervously waiting for reviews to roll in, and 1/3 is celebrating a pure unadulterated victory. unbelievable. kids, with a deadline, you can do anything.

I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF HIM

(9301 words) by CaptainLeBubbles, astroboyd Chapters: 2/? Fandom: DuckTales (Cartoon 2017), RWBY Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Boyd Drake & James Ironwoof, Assorted Other Relationships - Relationship Characters: Boyd Drake, James Ironwoof, RWBY Ensemble, DuckTales Ensemble Additional Tags: Roleplay Logs, Wizard of Oz References Summary: When Amity Labs requires the delivery of sensitive research from Gyro Gearloose, too sensitive to be sent over in any way but in person, Gyro-- unwilling to make the trip to Atlas OR to talk to Amity's temperamental owner James Ironwoof-- charges Boyd to make the delivery instead. Unexpected to everyone involved, this will lead to an even greater adventure than anyone in Duckburg could have ever foreseen.

DTLS is now on Ao3! Updates Saturdays, mostly just posting to have an easier time archiving than using the gdocs version.

what’s your opinion on DT17 Gyro? /gen

Ohhh boy let me try to find a way to coherently word everything.

So like. On his own DT17 Gyro is fine. Not amazing, but not the worst character in DT17. But as a Gyro, he’s incredibly. Not great? Like he feels like such a separation from every other iteration of Gyro to the point where if it weren’t for the hat I wouldn’t believe that they were supposed to be the same character (but even then the hat is missing the iconic strappppp). Even taking into account Barks Gyro, who is by far the most….. abrasive, DT17 Gyro still seems like a huge separation? Like whenever I see him on screen I just think “Oh, it’s Jim Rash!” instead of “Oh, it’s Gyro!”.

This is definitely not helped by the fact that Frank seems to think that a character arc is point a to point b (Aka never seeing gyro again after AstroBOYD). Like it would have been genuinely interesting to see how DT17 Gyro grows as a character from finally confronting his source of trauma, but we just. Never see him after that. (Look me dead in the eyes and tell me that you count Beaks In The Shell and his like one line from the finale. Even then in BITS he’s still. Incredibly abrasive. Like if you told me it took place BEFORE AstroBOYD then I wouldn’t notice)

Also the fact that he gets SHAFTED OUT OF THE FAMILY GRRR HATE THAT HATE HATE MAULING FRANK AS WE SPEAK. It’s like. Hhhhhh. In Glomtales having Beaks fight LP instead of Gyro while making a quip about it felt like the point of no return for me. Like in older canons he got invited to some family lunches and called grandma duck “grandma”, it was so heartwarming and yet. They just left it. Cant believe that Gyro got replaced with Fenton.

.

.

SPEAKING OF FENTON

DT17 FENTON JUST. ABSORBED ALL OF GYROS GOOD TRAITS WHILE NOT REALIZING WHY THEY WERE GOOD TRAITS??????? Like now he’s just the “default science man hurrrrr durrrr I know chemistry and am smartttttt” seeing Fentons past ancestor in the Klondike episode remake the gizmoduck suit made me consider manslaughter.

What also doesn’t help Fenton absorbing Gyros role is also just. My stance on reboot Fenton? I have a whole ass rant on why DT17 Fenton is my most hated duckverse character but that’s for another day. (I am. Definitely going to make enemies with this post lmao)

Anyways back to Gyro this post is about Gyro. If I had never seen any other duck media and only watched the reboot? Yeah, I feel like I would like DT17 Gyro. Growing up with the DT87 and knowing about other duck media other than the reboot? It just makes me sad that the cultural consensus on my blorbo is now just “asshole abusive boss”

Also super offhandedly DT87Gyro autism rep >>>>>>> DT17Gyro autism rep

ROUND #5 [SEMIFINALS]

[definitely-real-boyd]

Welcome to the Definitely Real Boyd tournament!

I know what you're thinking. "Hey Roman. What the fuck" Well. Sue me whatever I don't fucking care.

Anyway this is a poll where every participant is just Boyd Drake in all his Definitely Real glory, because I think this is a very silly idea and I am here to do silly things. Also it will make my friend happy.

So! Submit your Boyds!

Rules:

Your submissions MUST be of Boyd Drake from the 2o17 reboot of Ducktales. You may submit your favorite screenshot, OR you can also submit art and edits, as long as you have permission from the creator.

I'm only leaving submissions open for a couple days, and I'll be accepting them through the inbox, but they must be marked as a submission or I will assume it's propaganda for why people should vote for Boyd.

Since I am a hater and also I am doing this to make my friend happy, we will not be accepting any Boyd Gearlooses in this competition. If your submission in some way implies that Gyro took Boyd away from his parents after the events of Astroboyd or that Boyd would rather be with the guy that tried to murder him than the people who took him in without question, it will be discarded and we'll probably make fun of you in the group chat to boot. Make your own tournament if you're so determined to be wrong.

One Boyd per submission, one submission per Boyd. I'm leaving anon off so there's no ballot stuffing going on. Also I'm probably going to stop once I get sixteen unique submissions I like anyway so. Numbers are meaningless.

Just to be clear, this is a very silly tournament that I'm doing while I get things ready for my next tournament, so don't expect anything grand. I literally just thought it would be funny.

[astro-b-o-y-d]

I was kidding about people who vote for Della being dead to me but also like.........please don't TELL ME if you vote for her, I'll actually be really sad

[lemonsherbetsss]

This is silly but

I know that these height differences/examples are probably inaccurate asf but the comparison between Gyro when he was Akita’s intern and Gyro in astroboyd fucks me up like

He’s so small he was probably so young it makes me sad 😭😭 /lh

1, 5, 14, 15 for Definitely Real Family 😁

AAAH THANK YOU ok I haven't worked on this fic in a hot minute (I'm so sorry sjsksa I promise it's coming)

1---I was super interested in Gyro's character after AstroBOYD (as was every Gyro fan) and I thought he had a lot of untapped potential. Honestly, it was just meant to be a short thing with Gyro and Boyd learning to become a family, and then suddenly there was a whole conspiracy and drama and?? Andy?? Idk I'd always loved him and felt like all the characters gave him SO MUCH undeserved grief that I really wanted to investigate him.

5--- Oh geez honestly I think a lot of the scenes with everyone just kinda chilling?? I'm much better at writing when there's something I really want everyone to say, so the scenes especially when Gyro and Boyd are just hanging out at their apartment or everyone hanging out and having fun - I honestly struggle a lot with that sort of dialogue lol. I also had a hard time during the scene when he stood up to his father for the first time just because ~projection~

14--- I want people to know that you can be better, you can be a good and kind and happy person, but sometimes that requires some effort. Things can get better if you try. Gyro has more support in his family, and found a new family himself, because he's trying now. He didn't just apologize and leave it at that. He's making an effort and reaching out to kids who need him because he doesn't want them to go through what he did. And that's making things better

15--- To nobody's surprise, Gyro and Andy are both characters I project onto A LOT (Boyd too, but to a lesser extent). In a weird way, I learned to deal with a lot of problems I've been struggling with through writing out their trouble and having them deal with it. It's helping me process a lot. The next chapter is kicking my ass because of this lol

Thank you so much for the questions!!! I had fun answering them!!
