🎶🎷🎹🔹Turbo Jam!🔹🎹🎷🎶
For the past few-ish years, I've been doing an art challenge where I focus on posting pieces on designated dates. This year, I wanted to draw each triplet doing something with Launchpad to have ready for the, uh, 15th, but that obvious didn't happen due to something preventing me from being on time...again...😒
But I'm still completing them anyway! ✍🏾😤
Yeah, I know, I colored LP's Quack Pack boots wrong. His pupils might also be too big too. Both sets of hands probably don't match up very well with the other...I tried. ┐(´ー���`)┌
But in spite of its flaws, I still really do like this! I could redo or fix these things if I ever decide to do fully digitally. Right now, I gotta keep moving. 🏃🏾♀️
On to the next pieces...

Do you think the plane always crashes because the "LaunchPad" is inside of the plane? And there's no crash course correction for that?
(It sounds better than calling him an incompetent pilot...)

Amazing!
(spoilers) I have a bit of a pitch for you
So we know Darkwing Duck was canceled,
But I’d like to tell you my stretch on HOW it was canceled, consider it a head canon.
And when I say stretch, I am not kidding.
It all is coming from this scene;
“Stubbed his toe really badly, Movie stars, One little boo-boo and they fall apart.”
The way he says this sounds like it holds a lot more than we know, mostly because he wasn’t around when Drake hurt his foot.
Because I mean look at this:
his stature is more intense then just being a jerk, like his personal history is reflecting.
Now bear with me while I explain the second thing that will back up my head canon:
His right foot has been a major key in this episode, considering the following images
What does the iron land on? Drake’s right foot
Which foot does he point to when he says “One little boo-boo and they fall apart”? His right foot.
What foot does Drake step on during the fight? his right foot.
Now to finish it off with this quote from Launchpad
“He was an old school actor who did all his own stunts, sure he gotta little banged up in later seasons, but that just made him even more heroic”
What I think happened is he broke his leg during a scene for the next episode, and couldn’t film quick enough before the film producers found their chance to shut him down, which is a major loss for him and all that he was, no wonder some called him a washed up actor.
It really hurts my 90′s heart to think about what he went through, fame can really change a person, and to have the one thing that is going good for you taken away? I see why he became selfish.
I really think if Launchpad met him and the show wasn’t canceled, he probably would be a completely different person.
This may be a stretch but it adds depth into a character we just met, since things now are so different than before.
Needless to say I’m excited to see more, this is my favorite episode by far.

Genuinely hoping this theory isn't true
https://www.tumblr.com/erisluna35/756311839889031168/i-heard-a-theory-that-the-only-reason-ta-is?source=share
I doubt it.
Like yeah the shows are both owned by the same studio and supposedly in the same universe, but how often has a major character from one show been a major character in a second show that wasn't literally a direct sequel or a reboot and I mean 'major character' not 'cameo or crossover episode'? Because literally all I can think of is Launchpad McQuack.
I highly doubt that the Miss Rose/Double Rose crew would be allowed to use Chloé as a major character even if she was permanently kicked from ML. That's just not how these sort of things typically work.

DuckTales THEORY: Team Who?
Hello Duckblr! We know that in DuckTales 2017, Huey, Dewey and Webby have their own definite cliques, but what if this idea were to extend to each of the six Duck children in hypothetical future seasons?
TLDR: If DuckTales kept going on, we would have seen more Louie/Doofus/Goldie episodes. May's interrogative side can blend her in with the Rescue Rangers.
Team Science (Huey)
Huey's group of allies usually revolves around working on scientific breakthroughs and his hero, Gizmoduck. Huey stories would usually involve these specific characters:
Gyro Gearloose
Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera (Gizmoduck)
Manny
BOYD
Gandra Dee
Huey's enemy is usually Mark Beaks, a businessman who makes his living off dumb and/or stolen ideas, which is totally against his moral code. If executed better, Dr. Akita could make a better contender.
Team Action (Dewey)
Dewey's group of allies usually revolves around getting into dangerous situations, definitely not due to the influence of Launchpad or his very own mother, Della. Dewey stories would usually involve these specific protagonists:
Launchpad McQuack
Della Duck
Drake Mallard (DW)
Gosalyn Waddlemeyer (an extension of DW)
Kit and Molly
Dewey's enemy is usually Don Karnage, a deranged air pilot who will go to any lengths to gain vengeance on him. Falcon Graves has also appeared in Dewey stories, a serious contender for his showboating.
Team Scheme (Louie)
Despite being shown to be a charmer in the show, Louie falls flat when it comes to making secure friends, especially when it's in his nature that he is the 'evil triplet' of the Duck boys. However, the cunning antihero, Goldie O'Gilt is quite fond of him. Louie stories would definitely involve these specific characters:
Goldie O'Gilt
Doofus Drake
Ottoman Brothers (placeholder because they're always in the background of Louie stories)
Although Louie completely destroyed Glomgold in S2, I'd love to see Rockerduck as his enemy, as the Wild West Swindler has a more interesting way to battle - with his words, instead of his fists.
Team Magic (Webby/April)
Webby's group of allies usually revolves around trying to fix the curses laid out from Scrooge's adventures, or his most powerful enemy, Magica De Spell. Webby stories would usually involve these specific characters:
Lena Sabrewing
Violet Sabrewing
Blackarts Beagle (redemption arc??)
Phantom Blot and Pepper (maybe they're forced to team-up??)
Morgana (placeholder because they don't have a grown-up hero)
Webby and Lena's enemy is usually Magica De Spell, a witch who wants to use her powers to abuse and take advantage of others, completely opposite to how Webby wants to play.
Team Mystery (May)
Despite the wishes of her current guardian, Donald Duck, I could see May get into contact with her ilk, also experimented on by FOWL - no other than the Rescue Rangers themselves!
Chip and Dale
Gadget Hackwrench
Monterey Jack
Zipper
...and maybe Detective Gokart from the comics (a loser that May could help to become a better person)
Perhaps the Rescue Rangers have found a larger FOWL experiment gone rogue and they need a heroine around their size to help bring the experiment to justice.
Team ??? (June)
Team Sports? Team Wellbeing? Team Theatre? Team Adorable? It seems that poor June is the only one I can't think of for a team.
By process of elimination, the only frequent group of protagonists without a child character to support them are the gods/goddesses of Ithaquack.
Bum Bum Ghigno, an everyday person from the comics might help her appreciate the normal and might draw parallels between the clone twins and his relationship with his brother.
I'd love to put the Idle Hour Club from Donald's first ever cartoon somewhere, but those stories wouldn't be fun.

So I finished DuckTales (2017), my thoughts:
⚠️ Spoilers ahead ⚠️
- Bradford Buzzard:
His feelings for hating adventure and chaos is valid but he should have told his grandma to fuck off and got therapy instead of trying to destroy it. Also its not his fault that Della took the Spear of Selene even if he told her about it.
You can’t have one thing without the other, there must be chaos if there is stability and vice versa.
- Webbigail Vanderquack and Bentina Beakly (Agent 22):
It was a good twist, but it makes me question where FOWL got Scrooge’s DNA to make Webby and why her exact clones (sisters) aren’t perceived as Scrooges kid like Webby is.
My theory: “The Papyrus of Binding only appears to a direct heir of Scrooge McDuck” I think it mean’s physically and emotionally. If June and May are Webby’s clones that means they are just as much Scrooge’s physical child as Webby is, except they don’t have a relationship with Scrooge. Scrooge even before knowing Webby was his kid thought of her like his Grandniece, like family, making her an heir like the boys.
For how much Beakly talked about how important and strong a family is together when getting the boys to talk to Scrooge again in Season 1, it doesn’t make much sense to have her go in alone without informing the family of what she knows of FOWL from SHUSH.
Goldie O’Gilt:
I love her so much, except in the ImpossiBin episode, there she was okay. At the end of the ImpossiBin episode Goldie calls Scooge assuming he took the fountain of youth when they agreed to keep it for both of them, (she went back to steal it for herself so she says). They made progress in the Youth Fountain episode and having Goldie call him about it being gone kinda defeats the whole purpose of their bonding in that episode. Except I understand they needed a character to tell him it was gone like the other missing mysteries but I find it defeated the whole point.
Lena and Violet Saberwing:
To me it looked like Violet’s parents adopted Lena and I’m all for that. Also love the hinted gay rep with their dads.
Magica De spell:
While it was Scrooge that blocked her spell, it was still her spell that she shot that turned her brother into a raven. Theres no reason or obligation for Scrooge to have caught him and give him to her when they were both terrible people. If anything her brother got a new chance at life as a raven instead.
I wish there was kinda a redemption arc when she was training Lena, if not for Lena a little redemption for Gladstone because I like those two.
Fenton Crackshell (GizmoDuck) and DarkWing Duck:
I like Drake with Fenton regardless if he’s Drake or playing DarkWing but I feel like he needs to accept that GizmoDuck is also a hero. Bro needs to know the difference between hero and vigilante.
Fenton is pretty bbg too <3
Launchpad McQuack:
Giant himbo and I love him so much.
Daisy Duck:
Love her, not much else to say. She had standards, that was clear when we heard what she said while driving away from their second date except she still fell in love and was willing to put up with Donald enough to go rescue him and keep going out. Overall a girl boss <3
Huey, Dewey and Louie:
While Dewey should have come forward earlier about looking for Della I understand his intentions more then Huey did when he found out. Louie was right, its not okay, but in the beginning Dewey was just trying to find if she was alive or not, not where she was. He was sorry because he ‘got caught’, he was genuinely sorry. It’s difficult to want to tell someone you’re finding all this stuff about someone you all seek when none of you know if they’re even alive or not. Dewey didn’t want them to lose hope that Della may be alive even if he found out she might not have. Yes he should have told them but I understand he didn’t want to them to be more hurt that she’s unalive instead of just missing. Also they aren’t even teenagers and communication skills are ass with teenagers what makes you think they’ll be any better as 10 year olds?
Again, their anger is misplaced when they’re mad at Scrooge for building a Spear of Selene.
Scrooge McDuck (sugar daddy?):
I like his character and I feel theres a bit of development through out the show with him and the kids, to be a teacher you need to be able to learn from your students.
While yes, he shouldn’t have built the rocket right there he also didn’t tell Della about it. Not his fault she left. Also the audacity to find out it wasn’t really his fault or the fact he nearly went bankrupt looking for her and they didn’t apologize at all.
Donald Duck (DILF):
Literally the best man in the whole show. He put his family first the whole time even when he should have taken breaks except he stepped up. We know that he had some form of falling out with Scrooge because of Della but even so he stepped up to take the kids and stayed in DuckBurg instead of moving anytime in the 10+ years they lived there. I have a feeling they stayed because he knew deep down that he could somewhat still count on Scrooge if not Beakly. Why else would he have stayed and gone to Beakly to watch the kids, granted he didn’t want to talk to Scrooge, Scrooge still took them in and watched them while Donald was off getting a job.
Donald may not be their bio-dad, but he is no way a fucking Uncle. He raised those boys by himself for 10+ years, through their formative years and until they were old enough to know he wasn’t their bio-dad. He stepped in to be a parent because Della chickened out and chose to go to space even when he told her she shouldn’t so she can be with her kids.
Donald Duck, not an uncle, a father.
Della Duck (cool-ish weird Aunt):
My opinion has not changed, she still isn’t a mother to me. Della is an estranged aunt that comes by and is the ‘cool aunt’. She willingly, without obligation, without threat, consciously CHOSE to leave her kids. Regardless of if she knew she would get killed or stuck in space, “there were too many variables” -Huey. She had a fight with Donald that specifically told her that it was a giant, dumb fucking idea with kids on the way. The idea that anyone would accept her back as a parent so blindly is so dumb. Yes she’s their egg-layer, but there is no way in hell she is their mother. A MOTHER would never choose to leave their children unless they positively fucking had too (obligation for safety). Whether or not she regrets it holds no power because she still chose to leave for a stupid reason.
Season 1 finale: “Get away from my kids” by Donald Duck will forever hold more power and significance then anytime she ever says it because she gave up parent rights before they were born. No parent would willingly, without valid cause like their safety (not fucking exploring space for funzys) would leave their child.
Over all:
Scrooge and Donald are DILFS and Della can get bent.

⚠️Let’s Get Dangerous Spoilers. You have been warned⚠️
Frank really wasn’t kidding when he said Drake and Fenton’s interactions were gonna be dumb, huh?
Drake is going to be SO salty when he finds out that Fenton (his friend) is Gizmoduck (his rival) and that Fenton/Gizmoduck made all of his gadgets. The day he finds out will be a glorious one. Also, if he made Drake’s gadgets, doesn’t that mean he knows Drake is Darkwing?
And sweet baby Fenton, having to act dumb about the whole thing and be like “yep, I can’t stand Gizmoduck. He’s the worst.” Also, he made the computer act and sound like Gandra and that just shows this boy is in love (Gandra please don’t hurt him).
I love how the boys were playing dumb with Bradford and he was desperately trying to keep his cover. Also, seeing Heron again.... YES.
I have to wonder about Taurus though. He already works for FOWL unlike the original when he refuses to join. It seems like Taurus wants a world full of supervillains, while Bradford wants to contain them(if that makes sense). So the opposing views most likely means that Taurus is going to become that cyborg thing from the original and be his own supervillain.
I’m sorry, I just love this episode so much. I love everything about it. Gosalyn, LP, Drake, the boys, all of it.

If Drakepad isn't in the plans of Ducktales's writers, explain me why:
- LP wrote a fanfiction about the finale that the show never had with himself as a self-insertion character (probably more than one fic);
- it encourages Fenton before his date with Gandra that could be 'your special someone' and lists all of his exes, which are in order a deadly ninja, a forbidden mermaid, a were-duck, a clone of himself, a viking shield maiden, a talking cloud of energy, a subtle move from the writers to say he's bisexual/pansexual AND IN THE NEXT EPISODE HE MEETS DRAKE? WHAT A COINCIDENCE!;
- then, at his first date with Penny, a possible love interest for him, the first question he asked her is if Darkwing Duck airs on the moon...
Ducktales's writers are so good in throwing clues (remember how did they foreshadowed Della's artificial leg?) and these are all hints that Drakepad will be endgame.
#i was a little upset they didn't make that happen in Let's get dangerous#but I like the idea that Drake and LP thinks they aren't good for each other as lovers#and maybe a little girl named Gosalyn made them realize they could be a couple and raise her as their daughter#please if not weblena at least this one canon#drakepad#drake mallard#launchpad mcquack#ducktales2017#ducktales theory#dt 2017#darkwing duck#ducktales spoilers#dt gosalyn#gosalyn mallard#ducktales meta

🏹☁✨💘 Happy Heartsmas! 💘✨☁🎯
Here's what I was...hoping to have finished in time for Valentine's Day Weekend.
I've been thinking of drawing LP and Della falling from the sky together, like the show posters, or "Last Adventure", and thought it would make for a good Valentine card design. 😊
The more I've been think about how we got the Plan B ending for the series, the more I wonder what Plan A would have been like…and I personally can't help but wonder if we were supposed to see something like that…🤔 🤷🏾♀️
🏹Here's a more Space-y themed version:

I have reason to believe that Launchpad learned to play the saxophone just to play Darkwing Duck’s theme song.

reasons why launchpad is absolutely either a sleeper agent/secret agent who works/has worked for SHUSH in the past
1) in the very first episode of ducktales, he gets bitten by a snake and then randomly speaks swedish perfectly to beakley, then takes down a bad guy with ease using similar drunken fighting style moves to what drake used in moonvasion
2) he knows/has dated a ton of really strange people from around the world, and when he goes on his adventures with them it’s always shaded in mystery
3) he has been growing closer to beakley since season 2, who, as we know, is a confirmed SHUSH agent
4) the wrestling-esque moves he used on drake in the duck knight returns were DEFINITELY something he had to have taken training for, as he used a lot of defensive and surprise attack moves, such as ducking from drake’s punches and grabbing drake from behind
5) launchpad--obviously--was double o duck in dt87 for one episode, and frank has said that launchpad will have an alter ego in season 3, which is what double o duck was for launchpad in that one episode of dt87
6) it was confirmed at sdcc this year that launchpad and dewey are involved in a james bond inspired episode in season 3
that’s the evidence i have so far so launchpad definitely either has an alter ego as double o duck OR frank typing “altar” instead of “alter” was NOT a typo and he in fact becomes an ordained minister in season 3.

i am having a big think on the “You do not need to fall for another man that needs saving.” ooc daisy quote
most likely targets of talking to
herself. donald’s biggest challenge this season is supposed to be love so naturally there will be some ups and downs
penumbra seems kinda likely just because of the launchpad gag but i cant see her falling for any man. especially one she can easily destroy
gandra??? just because she has an established love interest in fenton but fenton seems pretty capable especially since most of the time spent on him at least partially builds on the fact that he can stand uo for himself and others so the descriptor doesnt make sense
launchpad. i feel foolishly hopeful for saying this but given what’s been said by mr angones about launchpad’s past romantic endeavors and other relationships being how launchpad brings out the best in other people and therefore in some way saving them from themselves. it feels like it fits the most. launchpad DOESNT need to fall for another man who needs saving. and drake does appear that way at first. but drake will be able to offer his own brand of emotional support that can help launchpad believe in himself and grow as a person
anyways watch this be about something not romantic at all or daisy is just watching a tv show or reading something and making a comment about it
#daisy duck#launchpad mcquack#ducktales theory#i think a daisy and launchpad friendship could be cute

We may not be rewriting history today but we are most definitely solving a mystery. Specifically the mystery of what is going to happen to Ducktales after season 3 and whether or not season 4 is happening (because I’m not ready to lose my wonderful bird children yet).
Any engagement with the video is much appreciated. Even hate comments (there’s a good chance i’d probably agree with them).
