abattoir blues / the lyre of orpheus is an album that makes me all nostalgic for being like 3. which is odd since, well, it's abattoir blues / the lyre of orpheus.
#looking through my parents' cd collection has me all nostalgic#because in the cottage we lived in when i was really small they had a wall full of these green cd boxes#and weekend mornings they would put a cd on and i vividly recall dancing around in this tiny cottage in my pyjamas#with my dad throwing me around and me giggling my toddler head off#it is a very nice memory#yeah. most of the music was not very age appropriate#like it's one thing to want to show your child actual music that you like. but nick cave??? really????#i do still like nick cave and it didnt psychologically damage me or anything#actually the only song that frightened me was hotel california which massively creeped me out and i refused to listen to it until i was ten#the nick cave didnt scare me and stagger lee at least was always skipped as was omalley's bar (courtesy of my mother)#but like. i hear today's lesson and i go ooo i remember my dad singing this at me with great enthusiasm when i was two#and then i look at the lyrics#and i go hmm#i remember being like 7-8 and my neighbour asked me what music i like and i said nick cave and he gave me a look and said "really?#i dont know i would have expected one direction or something“ and i said ”no i hate one direction“ and he was like ”well alright then“#he must have been so startled in retrospect

ok, I think I’m ready for my in depth recap/analyse/review of today’s episodes, one by one
hopefully this shows up in the tag because my last few posts haven’t for some reason
Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks!:
Frank-This season is about legacy. The first word we hear-LEGACY
The graduation ceremony took me back to my Girl Scout days. And is pretty accurate to the graduation ceremonies I did in scouts, though they had more levels. And the names of their ranks made more sense than the Girl Scout ones. Not sure how the Boy Scout ones work.
Poor Donald. Though from what we see in this episode, it might be better to not be a Woodchuck. They’re a bit...intense.
RETURN OF THE FANNY PACK
Launchpad’s notes were great. He totally wrote them, hence the grape jelly stain
THE LITTLE BABY SCOUTS ARE SO CUTE
The title is a lie. They’re trying to become Senior Woodchucks. And the challenge itself was called the Junior Woodchuck Wilderness Challenge
Poor Huey, that’s always awkward
DUCKTALES SAYS GAY RIGHTS
LENA SAYS GAY RIGHTS
Lena cheering Violet on was ADORABLE
The “I’m with Dad” shirts...chef’s kisses. I now want them to make NEVERENDING DAD JOKES
Vi’s little blush DAAAWWW
Why would Huey have seen her at scout events? I thought Violet had just moved to Duckburg, though I might be remembering wrong. Even then, Duckburg is a fairly large city she might have gone to events closer to where she lived
That fold out sash is DOPE
“DEWEY’S BROTHER!” Ouch, Launchpad.
Huey’s little wave
PROUD MAMA DELLA MODE ACTIVATED
DELLA’S IN THE THEME SONG! We all knew it would happen, but still. I NEED more Della/Launchpad interactions. They look like they’ll have a fun dynamic
He probably isn’t, but I’m gonna pretend that little asian scout is Russel from Up
Webby is a good friend
When Launchpad took Huey’s guidebook it reminded me a lot of whenever someone took the Journals away from Dipper. Complete with self doubt
Dewey is a horrible pep-talker
“Show the other nerds that you are king nerd.” Louie is actually a pretty good pep-talker. He could be a motivational speaker
I like Violet’s quirk of calling the others by their full name (ie Webbigail, Huebert)
Lena takes her new big sister role SERIOUSLY
I really like that the person Scrooge looks up to is a woman. And him sharing a room with his parents was a nice touch
“Story about Scrooge as a kid in 3..2..” Louie knows the formula (probably why he just accepted the sitcom lol)
The bee one made me laugh because alliteration...and bees
How did that map/painting work? It looked like she was actually holding it but the picture still looks fine after Scrooge peels the map off
“OOO, TWIST” I love you Della
I love the Tittertwill and its song and dance. I want it as my ringtone. And I want plushies. STAT
“I’m speechifying” I’m gonna use that next time someone interrupts me
I hope someone gets a good screencap of that post. I want to see what all is on there
Violet trash-talking is ADORABLE. She wants to fit in
“CALL HIM A CLOWN!”
When they tried handshaking...too cute! I don’t really like shipping the kids because of how young they are and that they haven’t had much experience in the crush/romance department...but Huey and Violet are adorable and I think they both have crushes on each other
I kind of wonder what Launchpad was doing while everything was going on. Also he looks SO HOT in that uniform
I didn’t notice it the first time, but all three groups took a different path. Neat
I got upset when Huey used his water bottle to make a compass. Now that lid is dirty and the rest of your water will spill
Violet dots her i’s with a Mickey. The note also made me think of the halfway there joke in an episode of Spongebob
“Do you feel appropriately razzed?” This girl is too sweet
Huey going back to pick up the note so he doesn’t litter
The little growls Donald was doing while swatting at the mosquito were cute. Also FUCK MOSQUITOS
Dewey INSTANTLY forming a connection with the bird is great
“Aw, they’re both cute” My thoughts exactly
“It’s JUST a mosquito, you should give it some of your blood”
I like that over the episode we see Huey continue to forgo the rules to try and boost his chance of winning while Violet follows them
WHY THE FUCK IS THERE LIGHTNING RAIN?!
In Huey’s panic he forgets what he knows. I feel like that’s gonna come back
“That was the smack-talking” Vi is extra adorable in this episode
Webby’s disappointment in the lack of actual giants, cute
Donald and Della should start a slapstick comedy duo
“YOU WANT US TO FOLLOW YOU ON A BRAND NEW ADVENTURE, WELL LET’S GO”
I love when Huey sings
Huey needs to see a therapist cuz that shit ain’t normal
I like him giving the guidebook a soothing, southern voice. Did anyone else think of Ratatouille when the book showed up? Like how Remy imagined Chef Gusto
“Well that’s a pickle of a different color” Oh southerns and your weird expressions
My sister kept saying that the bear looked like it was mixed with a hyena and I can totally see it. Maybe he’s a lost Wuzzle lol
“THAT BEAR DON’T CARE FOR BOOK LEARNIN"
“I’m the food"
VIOLET HAS A KNIFE
Even though I knew it would happen, I was still very disappointed in Huey for not helping Violet. That’s a dick move
“CURSE MY FLAWLESS SLAMS”
God, poor Donald
WHY DO YOU WANT YOUR FAMILY TO DIE, SCROOGE?
I love how blunt Louie is
“EVERYONE FOLLOW THAT BIRD” *Blue Bird of Happiness flashbacks*
WHY THE FLYING FUCK IS THE LAST MARKER IN A GODDAMN ACTIVE VOLCANO?!
“Where you go I cannot follow” I love JW
“I DON’T KNOW, I’M GONNA THROW THIS ROCK” That’s how I solve my problems
HUEY’S LOSING HIS GODDAMN MIND
“I’m so mad I can’t even aliterrate”
“I’m cold and terrified, sounds like an adventure to me”
“Poppycock, whoever told you that?” “YOU”
“So let’s rewrite history” That was last season, Dewey
Scrooge doing the song and dance was great
“WHAT IS HAPPENING?!” “I DON’T KNOW, WHY ARE YOU IMAGINING THIS?!” That’s some fucked up shit right there
“Wait, there’s a failure badge?” I would like one
I’m glad they clarified that the challenge isn’t a one time only thing because I was confused
I like that this show included the lesson that it’s ok to fail. I still struggle with that to this day
Violet opening up to Huey is sweet. And offering to share the win. She’s a good noodle
“I thought this would be more climatic” BITCH YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ACTIVE VOLCANO! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?
“I RESPOND TO AUTHORITY” And she just pats him on the head
“LAUNCHPAD?!” “LAUNCHPAD?!” “Hey, I’m Launchpad” COMEDY GOLD
I KNEW DELLA WAS GONNA BE THAT MOM! I NEED MORE OF IT!
“YEAH, CUZ YOUR A...” “Lena, please”
Launchpad giving Huey one of his failure badges is kind of adorable. Though I thought you could only earn one of each badge. Then again they have a failure badge so normal scout rules probably don’t apply here
Dude, that DEATH GLARE Della gives Launchpad. Something tells me this isn’t over yet. I hope this means Della is gonna see Launchpad as her Sitcom Nemesis while he’s completely unaware of it. Like DW and Gizmoduck
The Sabrewing family is ADORABLE and MOST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS
JW returning as a ghost. I’m not sure if that’s funny or dark
I feel like the Duck family finding the journal is...unfair in a way. Like Violet got to become the Senior Woodchuck but Huey and his family are gonna find tons of treasure/get rich and famous
I think we’ve got some future episode titles in there
I thought Goldie said she found the fountain of youth, why was it in the journal
“MY NAME IS DEWEY”
OMG FOWL!!! I think it’s funny that Phantom Blot is still wearing his FunZone mascot costume
And now we know what this season’s goal is
Seeing Della with her family was great. Like everyone has said, it feels like she was meant to be there the whole time. Her and Donald were great. It was nice to see them being all sibling-y. I heard that this wasn’t intended to be the season opener but you could of fooled me. This sets up everything so nicely for the season. Huey is going to question who he is and what defines him. We have a list of treasures to be discovered. And we see the FOWL are after those treasures too. This was a solid season opener that has me excited for the journey ahead.
