Time traveler: *moves a chair*
The timeline:
Some fake screencaps featuring Glomgold from a concept art by Tim Moen :D I’m not really used to doing these types of drawings but after seeing that design for Flinty it left me wondering how it would look if it made it to the show, so that’s what I did! It would definitely have been a pain to animate but it was still fun to do lol
There’s also a few changes, like for example Flinty’s armchair in the 1st pic, because I don’t think it would fit this version of him to have that type of seat…But I wasn’t feeling like designing a new one so I just traced off Scrooge’s and used the colors of the original xD For the 2nd I just changed the expressions, since this Glomgold would be a more ‘serious’ villain (? , so his interactions with Scrooge and Goldie would a bit different. The 3rd remains mostly unchanged, since I did like a lot Flinty’s dynamic with Owlson and I think she would be pissed off with him regardless of which version XD

So for the child of evil AU
I find it absolutely hilarious on how scrooge thought of Louie as his child with just 2 things being the eye color and louie just calling goldie mom without thinking about any other possibilities like "oh maybe she took in an orphan" or something
Also do you think Boyd would also be friends with louie in this AU, considering how doofus (his new profound big brother) is friends with him.
What about webby? Does she ever gets a chance to be introduced to doofus and becomes friends or do they not know eachother during this AU
If they do meet eachother and they become a friend group I wonder what adventures they would have?
Also have you ever thought of how the villains needing to help one another to take care of Louie, like let's say louie is being left with Mark beaks AND Don Karnage
SO SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY, SCHOOL’S BEEN CRAZY BUSY! I promise I’m working on all your asks <33
But yes, Scrooge definitely went on with a little more than “he called her mom” especially because he knows he isn’t the only one Goldie seduced in her life!
Talking about BOYD, Doofus and Webby, they’d definitely be a friend group! A chaotic one at that-
Doofus will be jealous of BOYD because they’re both attached to Louie, yes, but Doofus is more chaotic than BOYD, and we all know how Louie is about chaos!
They’d definitely get along, though! BOYD and Louie still meet at Doofus’s party, but this time Mark Beaks stops Doofus from setting BOYD on Louie, and fixes his code! Which, goes down the drain the moment BOYD learns how to write his own code!
Webby and Doofus are certainly interesting, because they’d surely be enemies at first, both competing for Louie’s N. 1 Friend spot, especially since they’re both new to friendship- and BOYD doesn’t really get that concept yet.
And regarding the villains…
Goldie definitely trusts Ma Beagle and Mark Beaks more, mostly because Ma Beagle is an actual mother, and knows the basics of caretaking- and Mark Beaks is easily manipulated, so Louie can make him do whatever he wants!
But if she really has to pair the babysitters up, she has the pairs picked out!
Ma Beagle - Glomgold
Magica - Mark Beaks or Don Karnage - Mark Beaks!
Don Karnage rarely gets to hang out with Louie, because Goldie knows he’s a part of FOWL and Magica because she was horrible to Lena so she does NOT trust them at all, which is why she leaves both with Mark Beaks because, weirdly enough, he’s the one she trusts more!
Finally!
This took me so long, it’s probably the longest ask I’ve received!
(Don’t mind the fact that I can’t seem to decide which style to use, I am STILL figuring it out)
(Song BOYD and Louie are singing is “All You Need” from Sofia the first)
(Also click for higher resolution <3)
(Also so sorry for the late responses, I promise I’m reading all asks and working on each one of them, school is just keeping me VERY busy)

you know what I decided that I want to do a poll too because im cool and epic
I thought a contest between scrooge's most prevalent rivals would be interesting.
Personally I think Glomgold is more interesting as a concept because he is pretty much scrooge but again, but he is also severelly underused.
I honestly prefer rockerduck. He may not be as interesting but I think he is a way more fun character, even though he usually is less of a threat.
But anyways I wonder what everyone else thinks of this.
Oh also this is a comics only post. No d🤮cktales posting thank you

My Top 10 Favourite Male Villains of all time.
"How arrogant of you to think that any of us are anything but irrelevant". -John Greer, Person of Interest (2011-2016).
There comes a moment in a blog's life where some things are just long overdue, and while the argument could be made that this happened way too early, I'd say that as long as this helps me to find my groove, I am free to experiment as much as I want.
So..... Villains.
Gotta love them. As long as I do not meet them in real life. This post is in particular about male villains since I have one dedicated to their female counterparts in the pipeline so expect that to come soon enough and for this part to be rewritten. By the way, "villain" is a generalisation, I can totally put antivillains, antagonists or more general antiheroes in this list; your definition of "Bad Guy" can vary greatly and so can mine, someone like Walter White from Breaking Bad could have made it in here. My taste is very unusual, so prepare yourself for some unexpected picks.
Also, since these are meant to be some big celebratory posts, for the occasion I'll reveal my Italian heritage and translate every line of dialogue in Italian and publish it separately with a link, so that English readers who are learning Italian can exercise.
Here's also a follow up to this post, the first part of my top 30 favourite female antagonists of all time. Check it out, if you are curious to see more.
The bad girls
But first, some honourable mentions:
Oropo (Wakfu): Once you see the number 2 spot for both this list and the female villains list you might notice that I tend to gravitate towards characters with wasted potential more often than not, but while we're just talking about this guy, I cannot stress enough the amount of unceremonious mishandling that lies within his concepts and execution. Really needed two seasons of 25 episodes each to explore it to their maximum.
Tai Lung (Kung Fu Panda): I love him, but not as much as others, it's a matter of personal preference. He's an amazing antagonist, so even if he is just an honourable mention, I wouldn't call him a lesser villain by any stretch of the imagination; I once felt like he was too sympathetic for his movie's sake, but looking back at it again, he's actually moderately evil for a lot of reasons, even if Shifu is the main one.
Bill Chyper (Gravity Falls): It's been way too long since I watched Gravity Falls, I really can't give you an accurate opinion on this guy anymore.
Flintheart Glomgold (DuckTales 2017): That season 2 episode. If you know what I'm talking about, you KNOW. Also the music for that whole sequence was a banger, really driving home the deranged nature of that twist reveal.
Big Jack Horner (Puss in Boots The Last Wish): I feel like when people praise Jack for being a breath of fresh air in a stale environment, they often forget just how good of a villain he was in his own right without the larger industry wide void of truly devious antagonists that act out of pure malice.
The Wolf (Puss in Boots The Last Wish): Two villain entries from one movie? Of course it was gonna be The Last Wish, what else could it be? Honestly I don't even wanna talk about this guy, you need to experience the movie for yourself.
Rob (The Amazing World of Gumball): Everything I have to say about this guy gets talked about much better by the number 6 Spot on this list, but as it stands Rob was my first villain OTP and the guy who opened the box of Pandora for me on what an antagonist could and should be, since then my perception of villainy only widened and now I enjoy their role in a story in much different way.
And now, with that out of the way, let's finally start with the ranking of my personal favourite male villains of all time.
Major spoilers down below:
Number 10: Silco (Arcane)
This guy is the reason that brought me to specify who or what counted for this list as trying to simplify Silco into one specific group of characters is a challenge that can only end in a misunderstanding of what makes Silco such a complex and fascinating character with an amazing character arc, that ends with him not being redeemed, mind you, but allows the audience to grieve in such a way that would make a side character death jealous.
When writing an antagonistic character, Silco is my goal and high standard, and just for that he deserves all of my respect and endless praise.
Now, admittedly, Silco's arc takes a while to kick in, but it works out to his advantage by the end of it since you don't realise just how much you've grown to care for him until he's dead and you're left with the surprise.
10 out 10, the nation of Zaun would have been much better (worse) with him than with Vander.
Number 9: The Riddler (DC)
The Riddler is literally my ride or die villain, when I'm in the mood for him, he's literally my favourite antagonist ever; when I am not in the mood for him, I completely forget about his existence.
When compared to many other entries on this list, Riddler is definitely more on the pop culture side of antagonism, and when you've been around for almost a century, you tend to have many different versions of the same character written by different writers, so I wanted to highlight here my favourite versions of him:
Arkham Games: He's hilarious. He's not my ideal Riddler, but whenever he comes on screen, his whiny rat's ass voice stimulates my pheromones.
Batman The Animated Series: I've heard somewhere that this version of him is disappointing, and to that I'll say... yeah, but only when he wasn't on screen, because otherwise, he kind of slayed.
Matt Reeves The Batman: This is the version that rekindled my love for him after so long. Out of every interpretation of The Riddler throughout the years, this is the one version that treated Edward more as a character rather than an obstacle for Batman to overcome, and for that I'll be eternally grateful.
LEGO Batman The Videogame: My very first introduction to The Riddler and the Batman universe as a whole, this version has a permanent place in my heart , I love how much information and emotion you can get out of him by just looking at his mannerisms and quirks alone; unironically, being silent helps him reach that quote on quote idealised version of Riddler that I was talking about earlier.
Number 8: The Snatcher (A Hat In Time)
There are many things that can carry on a villain in a story, their evolution, stage presence, complexity, thematic contrast to their counterpart, and so on and so forth. While an antagonist can check off many of these boxes simultaneously (like the one pictured), there's one box that is almost impossible to truly nail perfectly: comedy.
You see, comedy is subjective, and when your main antagonist is also the funniest part of a given story, it becomes hard to also match a sense of gravity and menace that allows them to also be an imposing threat, even harder is to give said antagonist depth and a tragic backstory.
But somehow, out of nowhere, The Snatcher from A Hat In Time manages to simultaneously be the funniest character in his section of the game, carrie said energy throughout the whole experience even down to the DLC, simultaneously strikes the balance between being scary, wholesome, sympathetic and tragic, exude an insane amount of charisma, all while having a deeply disturbing backstory that touches on some heavy themes and re contextualises his actions into something more complicated and out of a broken man, everything I just said + he's the biggest bastard in his videogame and never repents nor does he have his actions called out.
Snatcher really has all the right cards that make a stationary character work and uses them to his maximum potential, and it works because his character arc throughout the game is more about becoming affectionate to Hat Kid than it is about redeeming himself.
Lastly, his voice actor, Luke Sizemore, aka Yungtown, really sells the performance of this devious soul eating worm and burns his catchphrases into your brain for the rest of eternity, much like his boss theme,
Your Contract Has Expired
A song that switches around being scary, epic, energetic and desperate in a short, yet perfectly paced amount of time. You need to listen to it regardless of if you've played the game or not.
Fool.
Number 7: Judge Claude Frollo (Hunchback of Notre Dame)
You can never say no to a classic.
There's nothing that I could say that hasn't already been said by thousands of videos on YouTube, but I'll try anyway: you see, Frollo is the reason why we need a new term to identify certain villains that aren't "sympathetic" but still make you feel some sort of human emotion and a form of "I wish someone could give you the care you need to fix your life", I guess the term empathetic exists, but when do you really see it used?
Now, don't get me wrong, Frollo is absolutely not sympathetic in the slightest, he wants to r##e a Romani woman that's way younger than him, but you can still feel that he's very troubled about it in the Hellfire scene and has definitely a lot of unidentified issues and internalised bigotry that could be worked through, even if it's too late to work through them right now.
In general, I feel like people forget that the main reason why past Disney villains worked had to do more with their human traits juxtaposed to their malice rather than just their plain wickedness, otherwise the Horned King from the Black Cauldron would be top of the Disney villains league and that couldn't be further from the truth.
We should really strive towards writing more villains like Frollo, less omnipotent beings that end up falling flat because they don't have much thematic relevance aside from being a threat (Bill Chyper works because he represents Ego and he's used sparingly) and more average vicious individuals who use their power and influence to get what they want.
All in all, if you've seen The Hunchback of Notre Dame, then you know why this guy is here, but just to cite a couple of repeated points, the Hellfire scene is perfect. It's immaculate. It's unreproducible; there will never be another scene like this coming out of the House of Mouse or animation ever again, the excessive amount of stars and elements that came together to create this gothic classic is so vast that it's literally a miracle.
Frollo is truly the personification of the dark, twisted side of humanity peaking through the door and into your mind, from which he shall never escape as his performance still remains perfect to this very day.
Number 6: The Spot (Spider-man across the Spiderverse)
"You've hit me with a bagel!" It's still the greatest villain origin story of all time. There's truly something maniacal about this reveal, like the entire universe was shattered and reality was shocked at the mere realization that while Miles was having his coming of age moment back in the first film, this guy was having his normal life completely and utterly shattered by a combination of both our heroes stepping up to do the right thing and our doofus lack of foresight and self reflection; all of this stuff is hilarious and completely made up for the film but good god they did such an amazing job tying all the elements together in an unexpected way that makes sense and parallels the journey that our protagonist faced in the first movie.
Like with Rob from The Amazing World of Gumball, and a little bit like number 2 on this list, I just really enjoy the concept of turning background characters who had no relevance whatsoever into the big bad of the story who's been there all along and the heroes (and the audience) just couldn't notice.
With The Spot in particular, there's that sense of satisfaction of turning the wasted potential of a villain who has been underestimated for literal decades and treated as a "villain of the week" (God do I love the meta narrative of this movie) into an actual competent, well written antagonist that is aware of his reputation and strives towards bettering himself and his powers.
He's also the funniest character of his movie too and the voice acting of Jason Schwartzman only accentuates his mannerisms and pettyness.
He also has the coolest usage of portals I have ever seen and his whole "There's a hole inside all of us" metaphor is simultaneously hilarious and very deep personal information that can only be understood if you put yourself into his shoes.
I can't wait for Beyond the Spiderverse to come out and see how his arc resolves, more importantly, I wonder if he's going to rank higher in the future.
Number 5: Lord Shen (Kung Fu Panda)
"Happiness must be taken. And I'll take mine"
.....
What a character.
What a movie.
You cause so much pain and suffering, because you don't understand the people around you, and then those people banish you, and you can't understand why, so you start to believe that they hated you.
They never loved you, so you keep causing pain and suffering but it's not that easy anymore; the guilt starts to resurface, all those bodies keep piling up, but you can't stop because then it would have all been for nothing; so you keep chasing those dreams of grandeur because that's all you have left; the emptiness in your heart can no longer be filled by love, so you try to fill it with something else.
You try to fill it with power. You try to fill it with glory. You try to take everything else for yourself so that you can fill that cup, but it doesn't work, because that cup has no bottom.
And so you're left... with yourself.
And the damage you've done. But now it's different; you've failed. You are left with nothing. Nothing.
And so you outrage, for the last time... And then it all ends. Forever. And you've finally come to accept this, after all....... Who could ever love you?
Number 4: Spamton G Spamton (Deltarune)
You know, in retrospect, it's kind of insane what Toby Fox managed to achieve when creating Spamton.
Not only because Spamton feels like the most insane combination of ideas ever conceived, but also because Toby Fox created such a complex character with such a complicated language and personality and then not only shafted it all aside for the players to go out of their way to interact, but also made all of this in what are officially 2 or 3 cutscenes at most (4 if you consider his shop encounter as one) and only one of them being truly mandatory.
You spend so little time with Spamton, and most of that time is spent fighting him, and yet by the end of it you've become enlightened by the knowledge of him, that after a while... you forget how scary it all was.
All the memes comparing Spamton with Turbo are 100% correct and justified, Spamton truly is Turbo but better; you go through an insane rollercoaster of emotions with this character that you are left absolutely dumbfounded when it all comes to a stop and you go back to play the rest of chapter 2 normally.
His insane mannerisms and mood swings are pretty funny at first, but once you peel back the layers a bit they reveal a pretty realistic and sad portrayal of mental illness, mania and hysteria coupled with an unhealthy amount of social distancing, loneliness, and abandonment issues, that reinforce into your brain the idea of someone lacking proper healthcare and needing to be locked away from society for their (society) own good, simulating the vicious cycle that Spamton lives by: nobody wants to help him but he's still expected to act like a regular individual despite the amount of hardships he's facing and the lack of a support system keeping him from falling back into his bad habits.
I'll admit, I've considered putting Spamton in place of the Number 3 spot on this list; but then I've realised that on an objective level, the next entry totally deserves to be ranked above Spamton; plus, with at least 5 more chapters of Deltarune on our way, whose to say that one of the next gremlins won't be able to dethrone even the number 1 spot?
Drumroll for our top 3:
Nox, the Watchmaker (Wakfu)
There will never be another experience in my life as cathartic as watching the first season of Wakfu for the first time ever again.
On a later rewatch, the initial problems that you've noticed throughout the first half of the season and a little bit in the second half become too apparent to ignore, but the first time everything that goes from the ball tournament to the finale is one of the best paced arcs of television, and everything that happens when the team reaches the Sadida kingdom is just peak Wakfu.
And the king, the culprit, the crown jewel of properly paced stories and arcs is no other than the sad clockwork dilf himself: Noximilliem Coxen the Watchmaker.
Arguably, the greatest sympathetic villain of all time. There has never been another case of a character who has committed such vile, unspeakable crimes, and yet still managed to make me root for them while simultaneously not putting down the heroes.
And let's not be mistaken here, Nox is pretty evil:
Aside from the generic murder, Nox also defiled and stitched together the corpses of multiple victims and turned them into his obedient puppets in order to commit even more murder and genocide in order to achieve his goals.
Also, this is one of the funniest crimes Nox has committed: he abused his dog. It's really not that hilarious nor is it that important in the context of the show, but if you look back at it from an outside perspective then it's really like: Oh yeah. That happened too. Lol.
One of the best parts of his entire arc is his defeat. The "20 minutes" scene deserves a "One Villainous Scene" coverage video to forever immortalise it amongst the greatest. Everything from the music, the subversiveness, the cinematography, the voice acting and just the general art direction of it is worthy of an Eminem award at the Oscars, there's genuinely nothing wrong with this scene, it's truly immaculate.
Words alone cannot do justice to the treacherous, gut wrenching emotional rollercoaster that is experiencing his story for the first time. An hour long video essay would only serve to cover the basics and fundamentals, while for the real deal you need to watch the first season of Wakfu for yourself.
Number 2:
Bradford Buzzard (DuckTales 2017)
And now it's the perfect time to pull out my final wild card, the hole of the sink of my autism, the masterpiece of wasted potential that is Bradford Buzzard from the DuckTales remake of 2017.
When you'll also see the number 2 spot on my villainesses list, you'll come to realise that this spot is more of the "I really wish I could put this at number one but I can't because objectively he doesn't deserve it and the majority of things I love about him in canon were probably an afterthought and in fanon were never plausible to begin with."
And that's how I feel about Bradford Buzzard, an antagonist I spent more time thinking about than probably anybody else on the Earth.
The show runners were so genius for this: we are going to create an original character that will probably struggle to maintain a foot print on the franchise due to the way the Duck verse works, we'll give him an insanely cool backstory and motivation, all coupled with interesting character traits and ideology, we'll make him the ultimate foil to Scrooge McDuck that has been working with him for literal decades, we'll make him the one who has got the closest to isolating Scrooge and destroying his family, and THEN we'll turn him into a generic anime villain that shoots lasers and fumbles his own plan and loses because of insane plot armour and contrivance. Good job writers.
Anyway, I should probably make the case for why this guy ranks so highly in my mind to the point of almost taking the podium for my most liked villain of all time, especially when compared to the stiff competition that we just went through.
Now, part of it is just because this is a personal top 10 and so I can put whoever I want in whatever order I want. But also, with Bradford in particular, there's a personal aspect of relatability, various interests, and passions all coming together to make him stand out in my brain.
The thing is, I've had a pretty strong connection to Disney's Duck's comic books my entire life, even if my love for them came dwindling over time, so when I finally started watching the Reboot and it was amazing, all of that buried passion and love finally re emerged back to the surface, turning me into an annoying super fan. But while season 1 and 2 were great, season 3 actually gave me something to latch on for the rest of time even after the show had ended: the character of Bradford Buzzard.
You see, DuckTales, both in the shows and comics, always had a plethora of villains; from the crazy, megalomaniacal millionaires, to witches, demons, and other mythological creatures, to power hungry aliens, to straight up super-villains. But while all of that is true, there has never been another villain, aside from Magica, Glomgold and Rockerduck at traits, that was built specifically as the anti Scrooge McDuck, and even further, there has never been another antagonist who challenged the very core ideas and concepts of the entire franchise.
Bradford is like the Frank Grimes of DuckTales: just a regular, average, real world guy who's fed up with the nonsensical constant state at which their fictional universe operates and seeks to correct it in the most logical way possible. And while Frank was ultimately a victim of a world in which he couldn't conform, Bradford's outrageous and extreme plans and methods put him on everybody's hit list until he was left all alone, but not before indirectly causing every major disaster throughout the reboot's runtime.
A cold, calculating, machiavellian mastermind whose impact and presence secretly permeates the show, right till the very end.
Shame he wasn't written better.
And now, for the one and only,
Number 1:
Qilby (Wakfu)
Qilby is the biggest example of an anomaly that you could ever observe in a work of fiction. The first time experiencing a story is the most important and impactful moment of that story, as every future rewatch won't be as good as the first. In particular, this is an important aspect of twist villains, as they can only surprise you the first time, since at future rewatches the twist becomes predictable.
Furthermore, if the twist ends up ruining the character that was established up to this point, or it doesn't make any sense, then the story is kind of ruined and it only gets worse on future rewatches, since now you know that everything that you are seeing right now is ultimately worthless and doesn't provide any value.
So why do we love twist villains and keep churning them out? Well, you see, it's a matter of execution. A bad guy introduced in an unconventional manner is much more memorable than one introduced in a straightforward way; the twist can also serve to showcase different aspects of the character before becoming an obvious obstacle, be it quirks, interests, personality in casual settings, or cunning.
Let's not beat around the bush.
If Nox is the single greatest sympathetic villain of all time, then Qilby is by far the greatest twist villain of all time, and the crazy thing is, that he surprises you two times in a row, at first by revealing himself as more evil than you could ever imagine, and then, by outing himself as more complex than you could have ever anticipated.
Let me paint you the picture: you just finished the first season of Wakfu, and you are still pretty fresh of the hype surrounding Nox, so you think to yourself "Oh, now every future antagonist is ruined because nothing could ever top the emotional gut punch that I just went through. Whatever, I'm going to stick around just to see if the story gets worse" and you start the second season.
So far, everything is normal, even better of the first season in terms of engagement value, but you can't help but feel the lack of a Nox like figure inside of the story, but at this point, you just accept it.
Then the final six episodes roll around and OH MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING, HAS THE WHOLE SHOW JUST GONE INSANE?
Somehow, in some mystical, french, magical way, the season 2 finale is arguably even better than the ending of season 1 despite the fight having less buildup and introducing a lot of brand new characters and an entirely irrelevant faction into his conflict.
The entirety of the scene in Emrumb is some of the best writing I have ever experienced in any work of fiction, and the music accompanying it only accentuates the repressed dopamine being released after various episodes of filler, all of them important for this moment to be as impactful as it is.
Qilby is also just a great, tragic character, that is simultaneously an unforgivable bastard that tried to kill his family and doomed his entire race for a family trip, and a sad, nihilistic man still trying to reconcile his love for his family and his need for knowledge and discovery; his curse never truly allows him to move on or relate to others but his ego and need for his forgetful brothers attention just pushes him even further into resentment, ending up damaging himself and those around him, until he's finally isolated again by the vary people he harmed and showed his love towards.
He's as good as the evil secret sibling trope can get and I never get tired of watching him on screen. His reveal scene to Adamai still gives me the chills to this very day and demonstrated me just how good the surprise villain concept can get when it's executed correctly.
Just an all around great show.

So my theory about cartoon villains being drama kids has kind of spiraled into its own cartoon high school alternate universe that takes place in 2006 that I plan on making a fanfiction series.
Some concept sketches. Didn't do any full body ones cause my wrist has been sore today but I really wanted to draw so I took a pain killer and ignored my body.
First picture: Lad Boxman and Laserblast from O.K. K.O. Laser is also the running back for the football team, but joined drama club to diversify his portfolio for college (and he has a love for theater he shares with his mom). Currently dating Carol (Silver spark), Captain of the cheer squad. And Boxman is still Boxman, just in teenage dirt bag form. He always strives to be the star, but often times gets stuck being an understudy or in the tech booth with Eggman. Best "bros" with Laser.
Second picture: The Hacker from Cyberchase and Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. Doof is the vice president of the drama club. Went for a Billie Armstrong American Idiot vibe with his outfit. He's still the same lovable goofball. Claim to infamy is being an early YouTube viral sensation with his "Superstar" video. And The Hacker is skinny cause that's how he was when younger. He has the biggest ego and annoys everyone with his constant alliteration. Lime Wire wizard, makes money off of making custom mixed CDs on the side.
Third Picture: Wicked from Cyberchase and Lord Dominator from Wander over Yonder. Wicked is a manipulative diva who is in a constant on again off again relationship with the hacker. Aspiring opera singer and fashionista. Lord Dominator is the feared President of the drama club. She's the coolest baddest bitch. Always defending the squad from being picked on cause no one messes with her crew but her.
Plan on including more characters such as Glomgold, Drew (Dr. Drakken), Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, Jessie and James, etc. Too much for my wrist to handle right now
#high schoo au#drama club#lad boxman#laserblast#ok ko let's be heroes#the hacker cyberchase#heinz doofenshmirtz#phineas and ferb#wicked witch#cyberchase#lord dominator#wander over yonder#fanfiction idea#2000s nostalgia#cartoon crossover

So, what made the villains in Amphibia, DuckTales 2017, maybe Star vs seasons 1-3, and Gravity Falls like Andrias, the Core, Grime, Sasha, Magica, Bradford, Lunaris, Glomgold, Ludo, Toffee, Meteora, Gideon, and Bill Cipher work better than TOH's villains like Belos and the Collector?
Okay so on the one hand, it's reasonable to ask me about what makes something work if The Owl House is failing at it. I'm assuming the same person though has sent me this sort of ask three times now where it's like "Hey, if TOH fucked this up, what makes it work for these others" and its kind of uncomfortable for me. First there's just the fact that I have not seen any of these series to their endings. I've watched one season of Star, literally a handful of Gravity Falls episodes and a season and a half of Amphibia. I cannot do the deep dives on any of these shows that I can do with TOH that help highlight them. But perhaps more importantly: I don't like the DIRECT opposition of these shows against each other. I have done blogs like that and even on a subject like this I've mentioned Amphibia's monsters. That's to prove an overall point though and to teach about the writing. When the thesis is "Why are these shows better than TOH" it gets... It gives the impression that if I can't prove ALL of these correct, then you won't believe the original analysis which goes into why these elements don't work and thus also does go into partially why they do work. And that's not a good place to be in a debate. It's just kind of uncomfortable and sets a bad precedent. Like if you just want to know what good villain writing looks like... Ask that. Until very recently I was calling myself a professional writer for a reason. I know what I'm talking about. I can just go into what makes a good one off villain versus a big bad, a good organized villain and not, etc. like that and I'll figure out examples that work well for the concept of the lesson. And that's the thing: I talk about this stuff as lessons, not to prove TOH is categorically worse than anything else out there. That's not my goal and explicitly attacking it while uplifting other modern cartoons is explicitly trying to prove why TOH is worse than them and I'm not comfortable with that. Just as a quick example though for what a villains lesson from me would look like, one part of it is absolutely tone. If we aren't SUPPOSED to take the threat seriously, than a goofball villain is great. Look at Jack Cypher from Xaolin showdown. He's the main bad guy for a WHILE and he works really well for while the series isn't that serious and then they swap in for a tonally consistent big bad when they get more dramatic. Jessie and James aren't great villains because they're successful but because they facilitate a LOT of great silliness keeping in tone with childishness of Pokemon. But these are also consistent villains who when they bare their teeth, that shock hits both the story and the viewer but also only if it's earned, just like Zuko turning good only works as a villain redemption because he earns that right to change his inherent tone. The Collector and Belos don't do this. They're tonally inconsistent. We never really know how seriously we're supposed to take Belos because the show has a hard time keeping him intimidating while glorifying Luz. It's part of what makes Elsewhere Elsewhen suck so much. We can't take Belos as seriously anymore and we're not sure what his tone is supposed to be when we're obviously meant to think Philip is kind of an idiot, one note asshole, etc. like that and then all the mystique and threat Belos is simultaneously terminated. The Collector similarly is meant to be tonally a big threat and problem which lasts until the end of King's Tide. After that, his tone is literally anything but threatening so you're just waiting for his redemption that won't be earned and bored the rest of the time. And those are just big bads. One off villains have their own issues with tone and presentation and keeping up some sort of novelty to them. I can ABSOLUTELY do a blog about villains in general. I just don't want it to be explicitly about "Yeah, TOH fucking blows versus the modern cartoon market". That's just not my goal and it never has been.

Fanfic: The Triple Tandem Strike! (DuckTales 17)
Originally published in the Team Science Zine. GET THE ZINE HERE!
READ NOW ON AO3!
The sliding glass doors parted, blowing the stale air of wood wax, burnt fluorescent bulbs, and haggis into the faces of Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera, Gyro Gearloose, and Fethry Duck. Lil Bulb couldn’t smell this strong mish-mash because they didn’t have nostrils. Yet.
Gyro crinkled his beak and exhaled sharply through his nose. “Somehow,” he said, “this smells exactly like a bowling alley Mr. McDuck purchased from Flintheart Glomgold.”
“I think that’s a more telling sign,” said Fenton, pointing straight ahead. Indeed, across the back wall of the 20 bowling lanes, sometimes blocked by attendants passing dressed in full highland wear, was a mural of rolling green Scottish hills backed by a blazing sunset.
“It’s got charm,” said Fethry as they approached the main counter. “It’s homey.”
Gyro rolled his eyes. “If you like Glomgold’s Scotland, which no one does.”
“I’m sure these people would love to lose the kilts as soon as possible,” Fenton concurred.
“Ain’t that the truth,” said the shaggy-haired attendant, adjusting his kilt. “We blame the high turnover on the itchiness alone. Anyway, what can we do ya for?”
“Hour rental and three pairs of shoes,” Gyro deadpanned.
The attendant smirked in surprise before fishing the shoes from below. “What’s his deal?” he asked.
“He just doesn’t like bowling,” said Fenton.
“My work outing preference was maliciously overruled,” Gyro grumbled.
“Well, I see it as democracy prevailing,” said Fethry.
“A nephew of McDuck would say that,” Gyro sneered.
Fenton stepped in between the two. “O-o-okay, we all deserve this break from work. We are going to relax and have fun, and nothing will go wrong, alright?”
“Sure thing!” said Fethry.
Gyro crossed his arms. “Fine.”
+++
Across the lanes, a white ball with baby blue streaks slammed into the deck and hooked to the left into the gutter. It took the roll of shame all the way to the end and every single pin remained, solid, mocking its thrower.
“Come on!” crowed Mark Beaks, punching the air. “Throwing a ball into some lousy pins should not be this hard!”
Falcon Graves’ eye twitched as the grating squawk of his employer broke his concentration on his target. “It might be for someone who’s never done any exercise.”
Mark stomped over to his bodyguard. “Hey, a billionaire’s thing is exercising without doing dumb real exercise. Mark Beaks will not follow the normies and golf!”
Falcon sighed and closed his assassin mobile game to give his boss his full attention. “You destroyed a mini golf windmill because you went five over par.”
Mark pointed a finger in Falcon’s face. “Shut your mouth! You’re just like my dad!”
“That’s what you said last time,” Falcon mumbled, not paying attention anymore.
Mark huffed, marching to the ball rack, dark clouds storming above his head. “I’ll show those loser boomers. I can do sports. I can be a well-rounded billionaire.” He shoved a kid down by his face and carried the heaviest ball he could find back to his lane.
Or rather, as Fethry observed while holding a ball to his ear, “Fascinating. It’s like a jellyfish dragging a brain coral across the ocean floor.”
Fenton looked up from the tablet and saw the struggling gray macaw heave the great sphere on his ball machine and collapse to his knees, panting. “I’d almost feel bad for Mark if it weren’t for the thieving of my concepts, the numerous assaults on me and my friends’ lives, and what’s worse, the microaggressions.” Fenton shuddered at the memory.
Gyro tugged the laces of his bowling shoes tight and stood up. “He’s a petulant baby. If we don’t pay attention to him, hopefully he’ll give up and leave.”
“You’re right,” said Fenton, shaking his head and giving the touchscreen some final taps to officially start their game. “Your turn first, Fethry!”
Fethry looked back and sauntered over. “The book I read beforehand says to find a ball that speaks to you.” He held out a red ball, scuffed with years of use. “And this one says, ‘I’m a star!’”
“Are you sure it didn’t just sound like the ocean?” Gyro quipped.
“It’s your first time, right?” said Fenton, sitting on the tartan-wrapped bench. “Focus on throwing it straight. Good luck!”
“If it goes anywhere besides the lanes besides, I’ll be surprised,” Gyro whispered. Fenton elbowed him as Fethry stepped up and checked his aim. He chucked his ball with all the grace of a sea lion and it traveled straight and true on its way to bowling over every pin.
“I know that! That’s a strike!” Fethry cheered, hopping from foot to foot. “Boyoboy!”
Gyro cleared his throat and Fenton clapped. “Way to go, Fethry!”
Fethry beamed and walked back as Gyro took his ball to the lane. He eased into a wide stance and heaved it down the center with both hands. It rolled at a snail’s pace and curved to the left, clipping one pin.
Gyro sniffed. “Sports are not scientific,” he said, returning to his seat.
Fenton stepped up and threw his ball with enthusiasm. It looked good and true and resulted in a 7-10 split. Fenton placed his hands on his hips. Strike up above him, one pin just below… “And here I am, stuck in the middle with you,” he said.
Crunching and crashing bellowed immediately followed by a deafening roar. Fenton whipped his head around to see a giant Mark Beaks rip his shirt off and send plastic chairs flying with one swipe of his bulging, muscular arm. Bystanders howled in fear and ran for any cover still standing. Before he could even comprehend what was going on, a falcon in a suit bolted toward them and shouted, “Get down!”
He was tackled along with Gyro and Fethry before he could think, hitting the deck hard as a bowling ball clattered down next to them and rolled away.
“I apologize for this,” said Falcon, “he did this the last time as well. And then sued the mini golf after his rampage. And lost.”
Gyro picked up his hat. “I’m sure if we keep our heads down and don’t let him see us, we can get out safely. Then McDuck can write this off or something.”
“But then where will Duckburg bowl?” Fethry asked.
“They’ll play a board game, like normal people!” Gyro hissed.
“No, Fethry’s right!” said Fenton, wriggling out of Falcon’s hold.
“You didn’t bring the suit, though!” said Gyro. “Stop him, whoever you are!”
Falcon let Fenton go and shrugged at Gyro. “Mark doesn’t pay me enough for that.”
Fenton emerged from behind the bench and pointed at the behemoth Beaks. “HEY, YOU!”
Mark dropped the balls in his arms and turned to Fenton, his beak curling into a devious grin. “Well, hey there, Gizmoloser!” he mocked, his timbre unaffected by his body’s growth. “Long time no beat!”
I’ll take “Gizmoloser” any day over “amigo,” Fenton thought before declaring, “You’d better stop this temper tantrum of yours, or you’ll be sorry!”
“Pffft! Big words against a big manly man like Megabeaks!” He snatched up the heaviest ball and threw it like a baseball at the pins. It was the perfect intimidating move. The pins collapsed in a great crash, and suddenly, Megabeaks’ puny brain had a brain blast. “You know what? I’m pretty good at this now.”
He looked back at Fenton, whose eyes were wide at the display of utter and absolute skill. “You wanna take this on? Let’s do it! First to a turkey gets to brag about this on social media, and I won’t take it down.”
“Alright then,” said Fenton, not sure what exactly he was getting into.
“Falcon!” Megabeaks called out. “Where’d you go?!”
Falcon popped up, holding Fethry and Gyro in each hand by their scruffs.
Fethry looked to Falcon and then to Megabeaks. “Do either of you perchance read Mass in Minutes by Arnold Schwarzenebird?”
“Know what?” said Megabeaks, “I’ll even let your nerd friends be on your team. I can beat anyone like this, no British bodyguards needed!”
Falcon dropped them, visibly offended. “Right. I’ll be over here then,” he said tersely as he walked toward the front counter.
“You know he’s gonna call the police, right?” asked Gyro.
“As if, losers!” Megabeaks scoffed. “I pay his dry cleaning bills! BWAHAHAHAHA!”
Fenton was embarrassed for him as he gathered his friends in a huddle. “I was scared the first time, but he's truly pathetic.”
“Is Falcon really gonna call the police?” Fethry asked.
“I promised him a 20% raise. We could use a bodyguard,” said Gyro. “McDuck authorized me to.”
Fenton shrugged. “Money talks.”
Gyro nodded. “So we just have to stall long enough for the police to nab him.”
“But we can beat him!” said Fethry.
“Absolutely not!” Gyro snapped. “Do not get a big head because you bowled a strike on your first throw!”
“But I know a special throw from my book! The triple tandem strike! Lookit…”
Megabeaks tapped his fingers against his arm as the science nerds seemed to be taking forever in their little huddle. “Are you telling your dumb life stories to each other? FACE ME!”
“Break!” said Fethry, and the trio lined up, ready for battle.
Megabeaks grabbed a ball and grinned devilishly. “You go first.”
“Okay, everyone,” said Fethry, “just like we planned. Ready?”
“This defies all logic but I’m ready,” Gyro said, placing his green ball on the foul line.
Fenton set his down next to Gyro’s. “Let’s go, Fethry!” The two stepped to the side, placing their trust in their most eccentric colleague.
Fethry steeled his gaze at the two balls and raised his own. “Limber…loose…feet apart.”
“GET ON WITH IT!” Megabeaks bellowed.
Fethry wasn’t fazed. “10:00…2:00, quarter to three, tour jeté, twist, pas de deux, I'm a little teapot!”
Megabeaks was stunned at the display of pure buffoonery that was Fethry waving his ball around in some freak dance, but now it was at the apex.
“Now the windup…and let 'er fly!” The ball left Fethry’s hand and whizzed toward the balls. It connected perfectly, sending each one to the lanes on either side. They hit their marks, felling each set of pins like they were made of marshmallows, while Fethry’s ball arched over the middle lane, reaching earth again in a sea of tumbling pins. Not one withstood the onslaught.
Fenton and Gyro cheered and high-fived. Fethry wiped his hand on his blazer and crossed his arms. “Perfect.”
Megabeaks stood like a gobsmacked statue before picking his jaw up off the floor. “PRACTICER!” he fumed, “You rehearsed that knowing I’d be here!”
“Mark Beaks,” said Gyro, shaking his head. "I knew you were stupid, but even you’ve impressed me.”
“It’s the triple tandem strike,” said Fethry, “invented by 15-time champion bowler George Geef, and it’s regulation- Oops!”
Fethry was hastily hoisted into the air by his front and came face-to-face with a steaming Megabeaks.
“I’LL REGULATION YOUR FACE, YOU LOW-DOWN, LUCKY, CRINGE, BOOMER, NO-RIZZ-“
POP!
Fethry yelped as Mark’s arm began to curdle like bad oatmeal, then a chorus of popcorn-like bangs chorused around them and Fethry saw the ground getting closer. As the popping died down and the smoke cleared, Fethry felt his feet touch the floor and beheld a normal, scrawny, weakling Mark Beaks, wearing tatters for clothes. Fethry took that moment to wipe excess spittle from his bill.
Mark looked like he might cry. “I-it lasted longer last time.”
Sirens grew in volume and suddenly, the doors burst open. “POLICE! Come out with your hands up!”
Thus Mark Beaks was carted off to jail for the second time that year. When Scrooge arrived a few moments later, he assured the team that he would wring every last dollar out of the Waddle CEO possible, and use it to remodel the bowling alley into something Duckburg could be proud of.
+++
Back at the lab, the three scientists were gathered around the coffee station, sipping their mugs in contentment. Gyro broke the silence with, “I must say, if that’s what bowling can be, I may actually take it up.”
“And I can be your teacher!” said Fethry. “The book I read will have you a pro in no time!”
“Whatever you say,” said Gyro.
“Good job, Fethry,” said Fenton.
The three raised their glasses to a fun outing and to the beauty of hitting billionaires where it hurt: damages and legal fees.

Okay, my brain latched onto this concept and spit out an entire plot outline for some sort of cursed magical musical episode and/or fic. It’s far from complete—I’m just throwing these ideas out there for anybody who wants to run with them.
1. Family is on an adventure, get cursed somehow with Musical Oversharing Curse that Spreads
2. First, Dewey and Webby sing a song about adventuring! This isn’t that strange, right?
3. Next morning, Scrooge sings a song about the money bin, visiting a number of employees and spreading the curse to them unknowingly. The curse resists being noticed, but Scrooge has definitely realized something is up by the end of his song.
4. Meanwhile, the kids had their own song or three, no ideas yet
5. Gyro was just cursed by Scrooge, continues to work normally and then his whole team starts singing as they try to figure something out. Manny is percussion. They all quickly piece together that Scrooge was singing earlier, it’s clearly some kind of magical effect, maybe they should all go home and wait for the magic to go away?
6. it doesn’t
7. Fenton totally believes he’s well away from the effect of whatever magical musical artifact, and goes to fight crime for a bit, and finds himself breaking out into some kind of heroic power ballad with a rap break. After, he’s like “…huh,” and figures it might be a thing that needs to be dealt with. Possibly he goes to the mansion directly? First of all, he’s concerned he’s gonna belt out his identity or stuff he’s going through or science secrets while fighting bad guys, giving them an opening; secondly he insists he can’t even sing normally so this is super weird. He pretends he’s more concerned about singing all his secrets, but really he’s more distraught over the latter.
8. Donald has been singing about every annoyance and feeling all day. Beakley sings about the headache his singing has given her.
9. The kids and Della and Scrooge sing something resembling I’ve Got A Theory while they work to figure this out
10. Meanwhile, Launchpad has just been singing rambling usually happy rock songs to himself while he does his thing, and unfortunately does not realize there is a problem, nor does anyone catch him before he goes off to St. Canard for his crime fighting family time
11. This is bad, because team adventure has figured out that the curse is contagious, and must be reversed on each cursed individual in a specific way. If Launchpad inadvertently spreads the curse to another city, it could become impossible to contain and reverse! (I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make it be a pandemic, this just happened)
12. Funny background event: Glomgold attempting to kill Scrooge and singing about it
13. Drake sings an extremely extra musical number as he goes to fight crime for the night
14. Probably Our Heroes just barely manage to contain Launchpad and Drake and Team Darkwing, probably with the swift assistance of Gizmoduck who can’t stop singing about it and is still creeped out—only for Funny Background Glomgold to strike again and breach containment dramatically because nobody was paying any attention to his antics.
15. So then it becomes clear that reversing the curse the way it’s supposed to go is not going to work on hundreds of random people, so there’s a collaboration of teams adventure, science, and magic to figure out how to stop this thing for good (partly to bring in all the rest of the major characters!). There’s probably a complex layered song with each team contributing to a piece of the whole as they sing what they’re working on.
…that’s it, that’s all I got. Feel free to play with, use, or disregard however you want.
Just saying buffy had it right, musical episode, cursed object makes everyone around them have to sing the things they don’t want to say to incredible comedic effect
Musical episode. Early s3. Come on.
#Ducktales#I am not even IN the fandom right now I don’t know how this happened#this outline needs SO MANY MORE personal songs about feelings and such#and it veers a bit away from my original Huey-based idea but could be worked to fit that

More screencaps edits with Concept Art Glomgold :D I always have a lot of fun doing these tbh, not only because I like trying to replicate the art style of the backgrounds and characters in the show, but also the whole process of erasing the original Glomgold from them…I know that sounds weird but I just find it funny, it makes me feel as if I’m gaslighting myself into thinking “Goofball Glomgold? There’s not such thing as that! Accurate comic Flinty was always in the show. Don’t you remember?” xd

#(if i somehow think of a super angst idea i will definitely take advantage of this stressed-out mood right now)
2022 上我的熱門貼文:

[Okay. It has been 2 years, and seeing that I probably won't have more ideas for now, I may as well post it...]
[I made some corrections to the text in 2022, but if you see something cringy, that's probably my cringy 2020 self. not that I'm not cringy now]
[Edits are shown in [] and italic]
[Just...please try not to cringe too hard...Thank you _(:3 」∠)_]
Ducktales x Persona
(Extreme cringe and angst ahead.)
(You may understand this more if you have played Persona 5, since P5 is the main Persona concept I am going to reference.)
So...Basically, I try to give (some) Ducktales characters a “Palace”.
A “Palace” is the equivalent of a game stage/dungeon in Persona 5. It is the manifestation of a character’s subconscious, so it shows the character’s inner, most genuine fear/anger/sorrow etc.
Being a Persona/Ducktales fan, I try to describe what the characters’ “Palaces” may look like.
——————————————————
(Some forewords...)
→ Despite using the “metaverse” concept from Persona 5, the sentiments present in Palaces here are more like those in Persona 4. As in, the Palace designs I use will sheer more towards empathy for the characters rather than hatred. So my designs of Palaces will focus more on personal struggles (Persona 4) than greed (Persona 5). You are trying to save them, not destroy them.
→ I try to be less cheesy, such as placing Scrooge in a bank or Fethry in an aquarium. I will try to be more creative.
→ Some characters are...well, “less developed” in canon (*cough* glomgold *cough*), so there will be some headcanons from me. I try to keep them to a minimum, but a necessary minimum (to the point of at least having some angst).
—————————————————
This is the format I will be using:
(Character)
Location = The actual location which the Palace is based on
Distortion = How the character imagines the place to be
Palace Master = “Shadow”. How the character imagines themself to be in the Palace
Rationale = Why I give the character this Palace design (this will be rather long)
I know this is very vague, but I don’t want to spoil anything. I hope you can understand more clearly as we go on.
With that out of the way, let’s do this.
(Some actual Persona music for this long read:
Persona 4 - Heaven
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ybaVWcH_zBQ
Persona 5 - The Days When My Mother Was There
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W_SosS9S8bw
Don’t...search for any context if you don’t want spoilers.)

Fethry has always insisted that "A warm head is a happy, healthy head". This is why he always has his signature red stocking cap on.
In "The Depth of Cousin Fethry!", both Huey and Fethry seemed to have derived this knowledge from their Junior Woodchuck guidebooks. However, I think they had (also) learnt this "life tip" from their own personal experience.
Huey might have been taught this knowledge by his Uncle Donald.
While Fethry...well.
When they were kids (which was...when they were still together), Abner used to pat/rub Fethry's head (as a form of affectionate teasing (?)). Fethry didn't mind that, but one time he was curious and playfully asked his brother about that action.
Abner replied, "To keep your big noggin' warm. You know, a warm head is a happy, healthy head."
And Fethry keeps this line close to his heart.
It is more than just a mere scientific knowledge. It is a remembrance of the past, a symbol of love, and a promise to his big brother, that he will take care of himself when he is alone in the outside world.
His stocking cap was a hand-made, parting gift from his brother Abner, as a substitution to keep his head warm when they are apart. And a sign that no matter how far they are by distance, their hearts will always be close to each other.
To Fethry, a warm head not only keeps his head healthy, but also keeps his heart strong. Fethry will never take his cap off, until the day the brothers reunite.

Reminiscence
Bugs Bunny swallowed in awe of the archipelago of buildings around him.
He held the plastic folder of documents close to his neatly-ironed dress suit, the contents of which included his resume, recommendation letters, various certificates and qualifications.
When he applied for a position at the Warner Bros Studio, he had known how enormous the company was, both figuratively and literally. But stepping foot on the venue was an entire different feeling.
Actor trailers, movie studios, office buildings, the signature Water Tower...they were all much, much taller than the already tall grey hare. Bugs immediately felt like a nobody in the midst of the studio ground, his already fragile confidence dwindling in the cold wind.
But Bugs promised himself: He had gone through all the application processes up to this step, he would be getting into the building no matter what. Whether he would, for some reason, somehow be allowed to stay, or most likely get kicked out of the premise...Bugs would be sitting through the interview.
Gathering all his (remaining) courage, Bugs stepped through the glass doors, and into the concrete jungle...
----------------------
...which was even more complicated in the inside...
The very first problem Bugs encountered was finding where the chairman's office was.
The hare got dizzy just looking at the sheer amount of rooms located in a single corridor. And it didn't help that the clock was ticking, and his heart was racing. Only he was on that floor at that time, without anyone he could ask for help. His shaking hands automatically clenched his folder, slightly wrinkling the paper inside.
Just when a thought of giving up and leaving passed through Bugs' mind, someone placed a hand on his trembling shoulder.
Caught by surprise, Bugs involuntarily screamed out, dropping himself and all the documents onto the floor. For a moment, he was so scared that the person was the chairman who would be conducting the interview, as a situation like that would give a very bad impression. He kept his eyes shut, fearing for the worst, until a hand reached out to him.
"Hey...Are you alright?"
The trembling newbie slowly opened his eyes, and saw a black duck in front of him. The waterfowl kindly extended his hand, offering to help Bugs up.

"Fethry, what are you..."
Scrooge McDuck stared in absolute shock when his nephew walked to the villains' side.
[CW: Verbal abuse, mentioned past abuse/abandonment, painting uncle scrooge in a not very good light]
Fethry didn't answer. He silently stood next to the equally shocked Steelbeak, an unreadable expression on his face.
"...do you know what you are doing?"
Scrooge took a step forward.
"Fethry. Get back here this instant."
Fethry didn't respond.
"Fethry Duck. I said: Get back here. Right now."
Fethry didn't respond. Scrooge was getting impatient.
"Do you know who you are siding with? They are villains! Spies, thieves, killers! And you are abandoning your own family for these criminals?!"
Scrooge motioned his hands to the other Duck family members beside or behind him. Most were also shocked.
Except Donald and Gladstone, who wore the same unreadable expression as Fethry. Because they knew Fethry's reasons.
"Fethry, if you foolishly decide to side with FOWL, and turn your back against your own flesh and blood, you will no longer be a part of the family. I..."
Scrooge clenched his fist and bill.
"I will not tolerate a traitor in this family!"
Scrooge glared at Fethry, his burning rage was clearly visible to everyone in the scene.
Fethry responded. By holding Steelbeak's hand.
Scrooge was at his breaking point.
Scrooge advanced towards his nephew, fist and cane in hand. Donald immediately tried to stop Scrooge. Because he didn't want Scrooge to put himself in danger. Because he didn't want to see his uncle beating his cousin.
The McDuck's wrath caused even the hulking rooster agent to flinch. Steelbeak leaned down, and whispered to Fethry.
"Feth. A-are you sure about this...? I...I really appreciate you joining us, but...your family...Do you really want to...?"
Fethry nodded. His normally gleaming eyes were clouded by a shadow of seething anger, staring straight at the person he had once called "uncle".
"Yes, Steely."
Fethry's voice was monotonous.
Hearing his enemy and nephew calling each other by nicknames made Scrooge's blood boil. He pointed his cane at Fethry, his paraphernalia shaking with fury.
"Then go! Go lick those scumbags' boots! You are no good to begin with! Just a useless, worthless brat! That's why you are not a scientist, only a janitor! That's why you'd got to stay in that underwater dumpster for four years!"
Fethry's grasp on Steelbeak's hand tightened.
"Enough!"
Steelbeak shouted, holding Fethry close to him. He could understand Scrooge's anger, but he would not permit anyone to hurt his friend. Not anymore.
