#jdk why ive never talked about it

Do you have an idea for your own Darkwing Duck arc?

I love your artwork especially the one with Drake and LP fishing! It looks straight out of a watercolor graphic novel. You’ve got the facial expressions of Drake’s grumpy but endearing personality down to a T.

AHH THANKYOU SMM!!! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT :D

I had a lot of fun drawing that piece, I'm glad you enjoyed it (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

As for the question, that's interesting to think about. I don't often think about more potential stories for the Darkwing universe, aside little bits and pieces here and there (mainly a long overdue holiday for the mallard family that doesn't result in fighting crime–they deserve a little break, I think about that cruise Dw wanted to take Lp on in 'All's Fahrenheit in love and war' all the time )

BUT.

There is ONE potential thing I wish was explored and that's a final/ third showdown with Taurus Bulba. I've rambled on about it in a previous post, but Bulba is such an important villain in the show–having a genuine impact on the cast. Not to mention at the end of 'The Steerminator', Bulba says something along the lines of 'This isn't the last you'll see of me', INTENDING we'd get to see more, but that never happened.

I think it would've been very interesting to conclude the story of Taurus Bulba, especially with how 'The Steerminator' ended. We were shown that both Darkwing and Gosalyn struggled with his return, both having a moment of panic when seeing him (which is sososo interesting)

BUT ALSO. Before he became part robot, he was a lot more rational and calculated–which in some way made him a lot more dangerous than let's say megavolt. He's already a lot more threatening than any other villain of the show. But in 'The Steerminator', he's lost parts of himself, being a lot easier to anger, he acts more on impulse. But he's a lot stronger physically. Pairing that with Darkwing's fear of getting Gosalyn hurt or worse, (and kind of dying himself) + Gosalyn's trauma regarding him–it would be incredibly interesting to see just how'd they'd deal with him for a third time. To deal with Taurus Bulba whose only goal is to get to Darkwing and potentially succeed because of how much he knows about them; their fears and weaknesses.

I really do think it could have been such a cool way to end the show, or just have an episode regarding Bulba's final arc and explore Dw's and Gosalyn's characters further. (I know Bulba appears in the comics, but I'm not really counting those here.)

Mmmmmmm

Not much else, though I do wonder what the transition period looked like for Drake after the Darkly Dawns the Duck. He'd spent so long alone, lowk isolating himself (man didn't even have a house 😮‍💨) and suddenly he lived in a neighborhood with a family? I believe that would've been difficult, ESPECIALLY for him. He's shown throughout the show that he finds people to be difficult to be around, not to mention his tendencies to overwork and disconnectment from the identity of 'Drake Mallard' (a clash reunion reference to where he lost his mask. He doesn't particularly value himself without the costume due to years of being unimportant and hardly acknowledged) and in 'Water Way to Go' he claimed to "get manically depressed on the weekends" (do what u will with that)

I know cartoon wise, they wouldn't explore that aspect of Drake re-adjusting to civilian life again, but I still like to imagine it. I think Drake's character is soso interesting and that little period specifically could have been intriguing. I don't think I've come across any fic delving into that yet either 😞.

(bonus detail: Drake actually didn't have his temper as a child. In his backstory episodes, he doesn't really possess it. In clash reunion he is kinda full of himself, but he's not angry to the point of lashing out at someone. This flaw only develops after he'd become an adult and lived in the tower alone for who knows how long 💀)

RIGHT WELL THAT'S IT. I REALLY LIKE TALKING ABOUT THIS SHOW, APOLOGIES FOR HOW LONG THIS IS 🙏

I cant sleep

Ive been trying to for the past hour but that letter has been haunting me. They said something about an address right? Would it be crazy to try to go? This could be like some weird sacrificing stuff and the stuff they talk about in movies. Plus dont they literally tell you not to do that? Like how they kill the people who have sex in horror movies. All of them are lessons, dont do premarital, dont buy haunted houses and definitely dont go to places weird stalker letters tell you to go

God

I wish my friend jimmy were here, he’d know what to do, he’s like an expert on this cult shit. I bet he’d already know where this place is and if theyre the kind of cult that does weird sacrifices and stuff. 

God i should go to sleep. Maybe i should try again.

Good night void.

Ugh

You know what

Whatever im going out

Im not gonna try to look for it. Im not stupid. Im just going to get some air. Ive been in this apartment too long and i need to look at something else other than my water damaged ceiling.

I wish there were more stars here. The light pollution kinda messes everything up. I love the stars. I used to want to be an astronaut you know. Something about space and the stars, it always seemed so limitless. I loved staring at them at night, the few times they did come out. It was never in the cards cuz of my grades, i couldnt study and work at the same time, and getting out of here was my main priority. But i was close when i was in Calgary, i saved up enough money adn

jdk

Sorry, some guy bumped into me and i dropped my phone. Man this place is as rude as i remember. i 

Hes wearing their symbol

Is this cult like really popular or something?? What the hell, this is actually so creepy. I dont know what to do. Shit. 

I shouldnt follow him right? 

No i shouldnt, that would be weird, it would be weird and creepy, and i need to get up early tomorrow to find a job and replace the locks 

I should go home.

But, why do they want me? Why did this letter get to me? How were they able to get my name and my address and everything? Maybe that guy knows? At least i can ease my worries and i dont have to lay awake at night anymore. Yeah. ill just try to catch up with that guy and then ill go home, yeah

Thats what ill do

Hopefully this wont take too long, its really late and i dont want to sleep at late. At least i still have my phone to keep track of time. Yeah. if this takes too long ill just go home. Im around anyway and this city is so small. Ill find him again

Alright. Good night void.
