So, since it is everywhere, concerning the new game 'Thank Goodness You're Here!', I wonder what the various people from the isles think of it? Namely Scrooge, Beakley, and Goldie?

i think this shows the type of gaming circles i follow 'cause i have absolutely no idea what that is. never heard of it before

I have a question to ask about your depiction of Dickie for the 2017 version of DuckTales. What is the hair style you gave her? What is it called?

I don't really know hairstyle names but I usually think about Sylvie Vartan for Dickies hair

Often I make it longer or shaggier so I guess it'd be more likeeeee this?

I Just Realized the reality behind the finale twist, and this makes so much more sense

Huge, HUGE spoiler warning. If you do not want the DuckTales finale spoiled for you, skip this. Otherwise, you have been warned.

So, we all know the twist. Webby is Scrooge’s clone made by FOWL to find the papyrus, his daughter (because no she is not a perfect clone of him stop suggesting that. He was the genetic basis, so she is, genetically, his daughter). After all, the papyrus could only be found by a direct descendant of Scrooge McDuck, so FOWL made one. May and June, perfect clones of Webby (so yes they would be her sisters) failed to find it because the DNA was stretched to thin. Open and shut, right?

Not exactly. I made a realization that shows the writers knew what they were doing way more, and this was not rushed. In fact, this realization I had makes this twist not only good, but one of the best. You see, everyone says only Scrooge’s descendant could find the papyrus, right? Except, Scrooge doesn’t. If you recall ‘The First Adventure’, it shows us what he writes. He wrote, quote, “Papyrus, I ask that you be lost once more, until the rightful heir of Scrooge McDuck can find your final resting place.”

Let me clarify the main line, “until the rightful HEIR of Scrooge McDuck can find your final resting place.”

It wasn’t a descendant, it was THE heir that was needed. HIS heir. This realization, as well as understanding Scrooge, Webby, and their relationship, made me realize something. Webby being Scrooge’s daughter had NOTHING to do with her finding it. We have to remember something, Scrooge is not a nepotist. He doesn’t give stuff out of favor family. He goes by merit, by one proving themselves as worthy, by people earning what they want. If you recall, the papyrus is literal, so the rightful heir (singular, mind you) is based on Scrooge’s decision, not based on external interpretations. They’d have to be someone who he felt was worthy of inheriting his legacy.

Smarter than the smarties Tougher than the toughies Sharper than the sharpies And earns their way through life This person had to know what it meant to be Scrooge McDuck, had to desire his ethic and his attitude towards adventure, had to understand the McDucks entirely. And moreover, had to gain his respect and love... Only one person in the series fits all those requirements: Webby

Think about it. She grew up in the manor with Scrooge her entire life. She dedicated her life to knowing EVERYTHING about the McDucks, Scrooge especially, and is probably one of the most brilliant minds out there. She can take on adults many times her own size with ease, including Bouncer Beagle. And she is quick thinking, able to slip her way through any situation out there. But most of all, she had proven herself to Scrooge. Rewatch the series, and look at her mannerisms, their interactions. She is like Scrooge in so, so many ways. Moreover, he possibly has a closer bond with her than anyone else. She was family long before the finale, and Scrooge stated such. She was just as much an heir of Scrooge as Della, Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie were, if not more so.

Blood had nothing to do with finding the papyrus. Him choosing her to be his heir was. And yes, I am saying that even before the finale, Scrooge was likely to have Webby be his main heir. Not the twins, not the triplets, but Webby, who was not even (they thought) direct family. Knowing Scrooge, this makes sense. He doesn’t give handouts. Not even to his own kin.

This is why Webby found the papyrus and not the others. Merit. Her being his daughter had NOTHING to do with it. In fact, had it not been for Beakley raising her, she’d have never been able to get the papyrus as she would not have become a TRUE heir. It is also the reason May and June never found it either. They were clones of Webby, but were not Webby by virtue. They didn’t have her passion, knowledge, understanding, and especially not the admiration of Scrooge. This is why the boys didn’t find it either. They each were excellent at one aspect of Scrooge, but not all three. Thus, Webby met the criteria fully.

The writers knew what they were doing. They planned this since Episode 1 of Season 1 when they have Webby, involuntarily, strike a pose that mirrors a statues of Scrooge, not even trying to imitate it. She was family by merit, long before she was family by blood. Thus, in my opinion, this twist is one of, if not the best twist ever, and exemplifies the show’s main themes better than anything. Rewatch it, keep this in mind, and you’ll see what I mean.

Feel free to reblog and add your (no pun intended) 10 cents.

BTW, for those arguing ‘oh that isn’t how the papyrus works’, just remember it accepted “Family is the greatest adventure of all” as true because Scrooge truly believed it. So if that was okay with the papyrus, I am certain it’d follow his heir qualifications.

What would your opinions be on a DuckTales version of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish with Scrooge on place of Puss in Boots, and Goldie in place of Kitty Softpaws, and maybe either Dickie or Webby in place of Perrito? After all, Puss and Kitty's relationship is rather similar to Scrooge and Goldie's.

lolll yeah i LOVED the last wish (hadnt seen the first movie) and obviously felt the scroldie energy coming from those two

webby or dickie would be good perritos, im not sure which id prefer. probably webby cuz shes so tiny

[lettheladylead]

Hey, are there any examples of what human Dickie might look like? We've seen plenty of other characters humanized, but I only recall like one or two of Dickie.

hmm yeah i thought there were more but i could only find these two

both of which are pretty old

so heres a new one

[lettheladylead]

What would your opinions be on an Indiana Jones-styled DuckTales story? Like, Scrooge and Goldie end up working together to fight Nazis who are after a powerful artifact?

thatd be great! i mean ive definitely read fics with a vibe like that and maybe even wrote some?? idk i didnt often make up villains cuz im lazy

since indiana jones is inspired by the original scrooge comics i think its a fun way to tie them together

[lettheladylead]

I just thought of this and am surprised no one thought of it before. Goldie has to make an extremely hard choice. Scrooge, Louie, and Dickie have all been captured by some bad guy, and Goldie must choose which one lives. The two she doesn't pick will die. How will she handle the situation?

goldie would either find a way around it or offer herself for the three of them to go free

she’s very sacrificial in her expressions of love i think this would be a good opportunity for it

[lettheladylead]

I can't find it but I know you have a comic of Goldie being handed a baby out of nowhere and having to hold it.

ive got two!

and also

[lettheladylead]

May I request a 14-year old Dickie babysitting the triplets, who are around 6-years old?

Original drawing she looked too old but here it is anyway

[lettheladylead]

So, I kinda just want your thoughts on this: Goldie has a baby with Scrooge circa 1974, doesn't tell him. Raises it alone until the girl is an adult. Girl marries, gets the surname 'Duck'. Around '98 they have a kid (Dickie) that hatches before Xmas. Then, literally the day before Xmas, they get into an accident and die. Goldie is not happy, probably sends Dickie to the local orphanage for a few years, then raises her from then on. That sound about right?

well thats basically how it went in the Dickie In Duckburg storyline so it sounds fine to me

[lettheladylead]

What are the roles of the members of Dickie's band? I know Dickie is lead guitarist and singer, but what are the others?

oh lol so dickie’s friends aren’t actually in a band with her, none of them show any interest in playing music as far as i can tell. i’d say it’s ‘dickie’s band’ like ...band of thieves. her crew, her posse. her squad. could’ve been any of those

here’s one image of walter showing interest in a keyboard (thats the closest i could find lol)

@neopuff gotcha. Still cute, even if she is an edgy teen. But that begs the question: what about Nega-Lena?

well obv this made me think about it and then i added NegaViolet in, too. 

NegaLena’s whole concept would be very different cuz NegaMagica isnt obsessive or cruel, she probably just made NegaLena cuz she wanted a kid to take care of. NegaMagica and NegaScrooge are still enemies though ‘cause of a business thing in their past, but NegaLena was not knowingly sent undercover to spy on NegaScrooge ‘cause NegaMagica knew thatd be a lost cause lol i think NegaMagica’s big three traits would be ‘subtle, indifferent, kind-hearted’

[lettheladylead]

I had a thought that just makes sense: Dickie as a tavern maiden. I mean, if she was in a fantasy setting, it’d make sense for her to, like, help at the Blackjack Tavern.

Well I don't know about tavern maiden but in this fic she plays a similar role

I recall a picture of Dickie dressed very fancy-like that I am surprised you never reblogged. I’d link you for your opinion but I can’t find it on tumblr or elsewhere (you can only scroll so much before giving up). But, it was Dickie dressed in a way that made her look way more mature (probably in part because she was smoking, specifically from a cigarette holder).

sometimes i miss things! i try to find every piece of Dickie-related artwork i can but yknow how it is sometimes
