ducktales in my 2025?!!1?ß anyway i redrew a couple of panels from an old comic of mine.... still running from my hand responsibilities though

[duckwnoeyes]

I will never shut up about Willow bringing Buffy back to life. It’s such a thoughtless, selfish action and simultaneously done entirely out of love. It’s the worst thing anyone ever does to Buffy, and yet Willow does it because she loves her best friend so much. It’s devotion, and it’s terrible, and neither of them are happy, and it’s all out of love!!! I am never going to be normal about these two!!!

[soy-s4uce]

I tried 💪💪

[talyas-train-blog]

Redraw of a VERY old comic between @asktrio516 and i😭

She is VERY tired of his bs and he knows it

[valentineshearts]

Headcanon that Drake has very similar mannerisms to Jim because he used to copy them from watching Darkwing and Jim brought a lot of himself into the role so now whenever they come face to face there’s some degree of uncanny valley to anyone watching the fight because there’s something ever so slightly off that you can’t put your finger on

Welcome back, disney duck's enthusiasts fellas!!! I'm finally back with my actual explanation about...

Why I don't like Gosalyn's Redesign for the Ducktales Reboot:

(Beforehand, I would like to notice that I will touch a very delicate matter latter on in this post. As such, if you're sensitive to discussions about culture and race, this post is probably not for you. I wrote said point with educational purposes in mind)

Now, most reasons are just my personal preferences, and please have in mind that LOVE hate on things I like. It's weird, I know, but I can help myself. Also, I know close to nothing about character desing. Finally: Alex perdóname hermano.

Anyways, reason number one!! : Her new design is not similar enough to her original design.

Most of the characters redesign are just modernized version of what they have been wearing since they were created. Donald wears his typical sailor attire but in black (like in the comics); Gladstone is a modernized version of a dandy; each triplets wears different characteristics of their usual designs; Mrs. B's uniform is now modern and more formal ... you get the point. Every character feels the same but in a different setting.

Now, Gosalyn had a single design, so it should have been easy. She was a read head with pigtails and a purple basketball shirt that I think she wears as a dress. Her redesign does not wear purple as a main color nor a basketball shirt, does not wear pigtails but a ponytail, and for some reason she now has curly hair. Also, though still a redhead, the read is much more subtle, mostly brownish/deep red.

I'm gonna admit that they did succeed in keeping her a tomboy through and through. But here I shall lay out my second problem:

Gosalyn's redesign is quite maximalist.

She wears a lot. And most characters don't wear that much, so she feels out of place. Yes, other characters, like Della and Launchpad, wear full outfits too, I'm aware, but their designs are keeping up with their original design or had more or so a simple color palette to work with. Gosalyn, on the contrary, wears too much color: she is deep red, olive brown, like three shades of green, black, gray, white, and purple. The original design kept her in warm tones and simpler lines.

As I said, I like the redesign do reflect the character personality indeed: she's sporty, so she wears a hoodie. She needs gadgets for her superhero adventures, so she has a backpack. She needs to go undercover, so her colors are muted. It works.

But I also have a third problem here:

She looks older.

The girl is young in dwd, like nine. In the reboot, the main kids are aged up from the 80s show: they are ten in the first season and eventually twelve in the third season, but all the desings are still the same from the moment we firt met them, so they still look and feel ten. Gosalyn does not. She gives me the impression of being like fourteen, as she also has a more mature personality (and I also didn't like that, but whatever).

This does not go well with the reboot because her story is supposed to lead up to her being the daughter of Drake Mallard, who is forty I think in dwd (at least that's the impression it gave me). But in the reboot, Drake is like a millennial, so he is at most in his thirties. The age difference is not quite there. How could they ever become actual father and daughter then? Mentor-protégé, sure. Older sibling protector, maybe. Father and daughter... idk. Would a gen z like to be adopted by a millennial?

Anyways, I don't think they translated that well her overall design for the reboot. When I first saw <Let's Get Dangerous!> I did felt all of these things I'm explaining. "Why does she wear boots? Does she really needs leggings? If under the green hoodie, she wears a purple hoodie that reassemble her original basketball shirt better, then why don’t she just wear that? Was it hard to draw her in pigtails instead?"

The design is pretty, and it works with the aesthetic of the episode, but the overall show. This is not Darkwing Duck Reboot; this is Ducktales Reboot.

Now, all said above is not that deep actually (I told you I like to complain). But there is a greater problem with Gosalyn that I just can't deal with, and I need to share with the world because it actually disappointed me enormously:

Gosalyn is supposed to be a latina now.

... no, she's not.

I'm not sure how to explain this, but latinoamerican is not a race. Each latam country has a different type of racial diversity depending on their history and geography. On the other side, there's this recurrent discussion in latam about how we mustn't consider every latino descendant a latino through and through if they don't participate and/or engage in the culture or social struggles of their respective origin country.

When the ducktales crew announced Gosalyn to be latina, I was... concerned. Mainly because till this day, I dont understand why they can't just say the name of the country the character is supposed to be from. If they don't, then I'm assuming they mean by race, which does not exist in latam for as I explained, latam is full of different races, which mean again they ment Gosalyn to be mixed looking/browned skin. Which didn't make her latina.

Fenton is an ok representation for Ducktales. The mom feels Mexican, their Spanish is quite understandable, there’s participation in the culture, they even gave them a new name: Cabrera (which is not a stereopltycal/overly common surname thanks heavens). It checks out.

Gosalyn does not: She does not speak spanish (and neither portuguese for the matter), she does not get a new surname, does not seem to engage with the cultural identity of any country other than usa (Calisota is canonically in usa). She is not one of us. WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE!

She could had just have her new look for the reboot and it would had been fine enough as she could pass out as many more non white identities that exist in usa, so using the latino label just feels comercial, which feel frustrating.

Now I shall go and hide for a few more months. xoxo and peace (^3^)/^ ~♡

These are mostly me experimenting but I love the idea of a future AU/timeline and in particular the idea of a teenage Tank. I genuinely think he has a lot of potential that the original show was never interested in exploring.

What is Slam’s dynamic with his other teammates?

Heres a nutshell of their relations:

Slam thinks that Ace is not that good of a leader but tries to keep his patients with him knowing he's a teen just like him (But a bit younger)

Tech and Slam are relatively friendly with each other, Slam willing to help him with big projects with his strength. Even if he doesn't understand what Tech talks about he does get interested

Lexi is the closes to Slam and often joke/bond over stuff like food and games. Still developing them but hope to make them somewhat close

Danger and Slam are the two people in the group who judges everyone the most, again still developing them

Still developing Slam and Rev, but Slam tries to be nice to Rev even if he doesn't understand how quick he's talking most of the time

One of my favorite headcanons of all time is that Bugs Bunny is a big fan of Daffy Duck.

Especially in a baffy situation.

Like, most fans already have the idea that for all Daffys narcissism-he has a low self esteem (LooneyTunes: Back In Action for reference) and the fact that Bugs Bunny; the face of Warner Bros- Looks up to Daffy, and is one of his biggest fans is just…

Beautiful to me? Idk.

Hi y'all what if love wasn't all sweet and wonderful and porky with petunia rather it was murky and confusing and full of grief and bugs with daffy

Based on this scene from the movie 'In the mood for love (2006)'

Something I find fun about the timeline™ is that if you consider all pieces of media the triplets show up in as canon, then you get a picture of Louie going from: The Green One > The One Who Likes Money > The Eco Activist???

Like Huey and Dewey both have fairly consistent characterization with the only discrepancy being which one of them is the 'leader'. Meanwhile Louie is just seven different interpretation of the color green.
