Ducktales Incorrect Quotes #1 w/ ’17 Gos & Honker(oc)

Gosalyn and Honker are waiting by the side of an empty desert road as her parents are trying to salvage their car(Launchpad somehow crashed).

Gosalyn: Texas is huge.

Honker: 268,581 square miles to be exact. Largest state in the contiguous 48 and the second-most populous. Don’t mess with Texas.

Gosalyn: *rolls her eyes and drinks juice*

Honker: Hey, you want to read? I always do when I’m anxious. *hands book*

Gosalyn: *reads title* “The Magical Mathematics of Quantum Physics.” Ohh. Nope. *hands back book* I’m good. I’ll wait for the movie.

Ranking Every Boom Studios DW Comic

I finished reading the Boom Studios comics a few days ago and I liked them. Some parts were kind of underwhelming, but it was still enjoyable. I can’t find the Joe Books series and I’m not sure if I should read them or not.

Anyways, here are my rankings and my short explanations:

6. Campaign Carnage

I liked this series but it was the most underwhelming. When I first heard of Suff-rage and her powers, I was super interested but she was underutilized and kind of bland. What should I expect, she’s a one-off villain.

My favorite part was the Darkwarrior Duck callback and Darkwing’s desperation to bring back Morgana. It’s nice to know that they care for each other that much; the show didn’t do a great job displaying that.

5/10

5. Dangerous Currency

The crossover was fun and cute, though the story was a bit shaky in some places like the explanation on how Negaduck is the slime/ink, and the ending was meh. I don’t mind that this arc is considered non-canon because there are small mistakes that irk me like Drake not knowing Fenton when he appeared in an episode, and Fenton’s mom not knowing her son isn’t Gizmoduck when she’s worn the suit in the show before. Those things break the immersion for me.

6/10

4. Crisis on Infinite Darkwings

This arc was so close to being number 3, but there’s a big reason why that I’ll explain later.

It was a great reference to the famous DC arc and all the other Darkwings were fun to see, especially Quiverwing Duck- his backstory is heartbreaking. I liked that we got more info on Negaduck like his disdain for not being unique and a possible tragic backstory. It was disappointing not knowing more.

The ending was pretty good with bringing back the Tron-splitter and seeing Negaduck’s evil and slightly evil sides(it was funny). The Darkwarrior Duck cameo was also really great. He’s such an underrated character and needs more attention.

And we got more Morgwing development. I may not love them, but they can be cute.

7/10

3. F.O.W.L Disposition Arc

FD almost tied with or lost to CID; however, an aspect really changed my opinion.

Morgana finally being characterized as more than a love interest.

Morgana was my second favorite female character-just below Gosalyn-but I still had issues with her. Like, 1. Her magic talent being inconsistent and 2. Only serving as a love interest. She is so interesting and could be an amazing character. It sucked that the creators didn’t give her the time.

Her strong magic power and willingness to sacrifice herself made her out to be a headstrong and powerful sorceress, which is something I wanted to see.

I also really liked that Darkwing’s weakness is showcased here- his ego- and he actually learns how detrimental it is to his work and the world’s safety. And it actually stuck throughout the rest of the series afterwards.

8/10

2. The Duck Knight Returns

I loved this arc! It was such a great start to the comics! 😍

First, it tackled a situation the show barely touched- what if DW had to quit crime fighting long term. “Toy Czar Us” kind of tackled this though it was very short. We see how much not being Darkwing does to Drake, he’s depressed and disconnected. His intense ego diminished.

Another thing I love was actually seeing how much Launchpad mattered to Drake. We see him having flashbacks with his close friend and getting upset when something reminds him of their adventures. Drake sometimes even calls Launchpad just to hear his voice. It makes my big Drakepad heart beat even harder, and it’s nice to know that their friendship is not one-sided.

Also, having Megavolt and Darkwing as co-workers was amazing. Peak comedy!

The only thing that’s keeping me from giving this arc a perfect score is Negaduck finding out DW’s secret identity. Mostly how it was handled afterwards. Negaduck finds out his alter ego, even goes to house, yet after that he doesn’t take advantage of that info seriously.

9.5/10

1. Darkwing Annual- Quackerjack’s story

I love love love this story! 😍😍😍

Quackerjack is one of those villains that interests me since we see his origin story like Megavolt’s and Bushroot’s. We get to see more into his mindset and what drove him crazy, such as the discredit he gets for his toy ideas.

Although I’m a Quackervolt shipper, I really like Claire and she was a good way to introduce the less villainous side, and make you feel bad for Quackerjack.

It’s also nice to see Darkwing actually have sympathy for his enemies. I’ve always seen Darkwing and his enemies being kind of the same; they are people who want to be noticed but do it in different ways.

The ending was also amazing yet heartbreaking. We can see Quackerjack contemplating what he has done as he’s walking to Claire’s door. Then we see a red glow and Claire opening the door to a Quackerjack toy. He’s regrets everything he has done and thinks he’s only good enough as a toy. That is so sad and relatable. We’ve always had times when we’ve doubted our worth. This story gives Quackerjack more layers in an enticing story. This gives it a perfect score. It also benefits being a solo comic rather than a series like the others.

10/10 🥳

Thank you for reading and I hope you liked it! If you read the comics, I would like to see your rankings. Also, can someone tell me where I can read the Joe Books version incase I want to read it? 😁💕

Enemies: F.O.W.L, Helios Mental Asylum, Jim Starling/Negaduck, Fearsome Four

Appearance:

Morgana is a taller than average, black-haired duck. She wears a cherry red sleeveless jumpsuit under a blood red jacket pinned by a gold button. One jacket sleeve covers her right arm, wrapping around her middle finger, while the other sleeve is elbow length. Attached to her hips is a long dark red cape that drags on the floor. A tattered drape connects to her forefinger. To match her elegant heels, Morgana wears shiny, black lipstick. On the small of her back is the symbol of Demogorgana, her birthmark. The gray streaks in her hair are pinned back.

Personality:

Morgana is a quiet, solemn sorceress. Due to the constant bullying in her childhood, she has a pessimistic view in life and has trust issues. But, once you’ve gained it, she’ll be kinder and more open. Around strangers, she is quiet and willing to give them the cold shoulder. Lover of horror, Morgana enjoys scaring people-sneaky up on people was her favorite- and prefers to make a spooky entrance. She can be aggressive and will usually not hesitate to attack, especially if she is judged for her magic. Her anger can lead her to be vengeful; an example being her wish to hurt the bullies who hurt her brother.

Since joining the Justice Ducks and being somewhat part of the Mallard-Mcquack family, Morgana became more level-headed and playful. Smiles came easier and she finally felt loved. Although passive, she is not afraid to be sassy, though it’s more playful towards her friends. Patience is Morgana’s strong point; she was willing to build her magic prowess enough to escape from the asylum.

Biography:

Born from an affair with her mom and Demogorgon, Morgana is cursed with chaos magic and the Demogorgon symbol as a birthmark. She was bullied for her uncontrollable magic and weird hobbies for a child like her love for witchcraft and horror. The bullying got worse once she and her brother moved with her uncle to his heavily conservative county. It grew from verbal to physical abuse quickly. Her normal brother was bullied as well for being associated with her, something that hurts her more than being harassed herself. The abuse and her uncle’s unconcerned behavior convinced her to run away. But, before she could leave, a horrifying event occurred. This left Morgana to be sentenced to an asylum for the rest of her life.

Skills & Abilities:

-Chaos Magic: This type of magic allows her to absorb the chaotic forces in the universe and warp reality. Morgana has enough power to destroy the cosmos, though the energy needed would leave her coma.

-Superhuman Strength: Being half-Demogorgon makes her more durable and stronger than a regular person.

-Psionics: this ability allows her to project her energy as attacks like energy blasts, create forcefields, and fly.

-Mental Manipulation: Morgana can manipulate her victim’s minds to see their worst fears, control their actions, and read minds.

-Spellcasting: she used to cast spells in her own magic language but grew out of the more she practiced. Now able to cast spells without help.

Family:

Cephas Mcawber:

Being her baby brother, Morgana is very protective of him. Her protectiveness grew once her bullies started terrorizing him as well. She was there to comfort him when their parents were killed and promised to be there for him.

Wanting to keep her promise, Morgana asked Cephas if he wanted to run away with her. Though he decided to stay.

Hector Mcawber:

Morgana and her uncle weren’t close. He seemed unconcerned about the bullying she endured. Hector openly favored Cephas since, unlike Morg, he was related by blood. Most of the time, Morgana was left to take care of herself. The treatment was similar to the kind she got from her stepfather.

Her neutrality towards her uncle soon turned to disdain when he left her in the asylum’s care.

Mr. Mcawber:

Her stepfather tried to love Morgana but could only see her as a reminder of his wife’s betrayal. He didn’t treat her badly nor show much love for her. He died alongside his wife in a car crash.

Mrs. Mcawber:

Although she loves her mom, Morgana is bitter towards her mom for getting into an affair with a Demogorgon. They didn’t have much of a relationship since her mom died when she was seven.

Friends:

Drake Mallard/Darkwing Duck:

Drake is Morgana’s good friend and teammate.

At first, due to a huge misunderstanding and DW’s ego blinding him, they viewed each other as enemies. Drake’s arrogance annoyed Morgana to no-end and would respond to him with sassy quips. His view of Morgana was of a criminal and danger to society because his first S.H.U.S.H was to recapture her for the asylum.

Once they got to know each other, Drake and Morgana grew to respect and sympathize one another for their strength and hard pasts. In the end, Drake let her go into hiding and advocated for her innocence.

Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera/Gizmoduck:

Fenton and Morgana are friends and teammates.

Alongside Darkwing, Gizmoduck was assigned to recapture Morgana. He was more sympathetic towards her when noticing her unwillingness to fight. There were many times he suggested talking to Morgana. He also advocated for her innocence once learning the truth.

Morgana didn’t think much of Fenton in the beginning, though finding him quite cute. She was grateful towards him and DW for believing her and saw them as her first true friends.

Launchpad Mcquack:

Launchpad didn’t meet Morgana until after DW and Fenton’s mission. He liked her and found her magic fun to see.

Morgana found LP’s naivety and sweet nature comforting because of how much he reminded her of Cephas. Whenever visiting the Mallard-Mcquack household, Morgana would occasionally scare Launchpad-his easy to scare attitude was funny to her. Though she would always make up for it by offering her delicious brownies.

Gosalyn Waddlemeyer:

Like LP, Gos met Morgana later on. They clicked instantly due to their love of horror movies and Gos’ fascination with magic. It didn’t take much time for Morg to be appointed as Gosalyn’s babysitter. They would watch horror movies and plan scary pranks to frighten Drake and LP. The girls would also scheme ideas on how to get Gos’ fathers to confess their feelings. They usually pep talk Drake into confessing his feelings-with no avail. Their Drake’s wingwomen.

Lena Sabrewing/de Spell:

Wanting to train her magic, Lena asked Morgana to teach her.

They have a healthy teacher-student relationship with Morg helping to grow Lena’s power enough, so she didn’t have to cast some spells with incantations. There are times the girls use their magic to have fun and play pranks. Gos usually joins them, and is the mastermind of their schemes.

Morgana holds a lot of respect for Lena based on her strength to move on from the past. There are moments when she sees herself in Lena-something that comforts, yet scares her.

Trivia:

-She was inspired by Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff, Alphaba from Wicked, and Morticia Addams.

-Her VA, Laura Bailey, starred in a dark fantasy anime called Soul Eater.

-Unlike her previous incarnation, Morgana’s feet are shown.

-Her power is strong enough to rival Magica.

-She is one of the tallest characters in the ’17 universe.

List of Ducktales ‘17 Fics I Want To Do One Day

I’ve been getting inspiration to write fanfics and wanted to make a list here. 

List:

-Darkwing Duck Reboot: If either the reboot doesn’t happen or the show doesn’t follow the ‘17 continuity then I’ll write this fic. I have a few ideas but not enough to start storyboarding. It might be a collaboration fic if anyone wants to join.

-‘17 Negaverse: I’ve seen a lot of people make their own Negaverse for the DT reboot. There are a few ideas in my brain and want to make it a fictional reality.

-Morgana & Dickie in the ‘17 Universe: These will be separate fics. I’ve been developing these OCs for a while, and their backstories made me interested in writing.

-Justice Ducks: The Justice Ducks is one of my favorite parts about DWD and want to make my own version.

-DW & Gizmoduck Team-Up: Fenton and Drake’s two-sided relationship interests me and I want to write my take in it. It was such a bummer that they didn’t have their own special.

-‘17 Negaduck’s Return: The most disappointing part about DT ‘17 cancellation was Jim not returning. His final scene was amazing and gave me chills. Like the DWD reboot fic, I plan to write this if the reboot either doesn’t happen or doesn’t follow the ‘17 universe.

Which idea did you like the most? If you ever want to do your own take in these ideas, you can. 😁

Thanks for reading! ❤️

Theories on How The Fearsome Four Will Come Back.

Since there are rumors of the DW reboot coming(haven’t seen any recent articles if it’s confirmed), I’m wondering how the Fearsome Five will come to play if the creators continue with the ‘17 universe. I know Negaduck is around, but the Fearsome Four got sucked back into their dimension.

I’ve seen some theories around YouTube and Tumblr, here are the summaries:

1. Jim Starling/Negaduck is going to get the actors who played the Fearsome Four to join him.

2. Negaduck will bring the Fearsome Four back from their dimension.

3. New characters from the ‘17 universe will become the Fearsome Four and join Negaduck.

I think there are more but these theories stood out to me. My favorite one might be the first one because of how interesting it would be. Though, I think the third one would be best since every DW should have something new, like Negaduck. Plus, the change can give this version of Drake more personal enemies. 

Comment your favorite theory or one you have. 😁❤️

Launchpad Headcanon

Mine: When LP finds the right person (I also headcanon him as pan and with Drake/Darkwing), he’ll want to marry them and adopt a lot of kids.

Launchpad is such a sweet guy that I think he would adopt kids of any age instead of having bio ones so kids in systems can have a good home. He would probably adopt 4-6 kids(don’t worry, Gosalyn is included). 

Darkwing Duck (1990s Version): My New Obsession

Just started watching Darkwing Duck since the 2017 version got me interested. I actually really like it. I had to get used to the zany and not-so-serious hero storyline but it’s fun.

Not every episode hits like the one with DW getting cursed by witch doctors, who were depicted terribly. Some of the earliest episodes also weren’t as great, though it’s based on my taste rather than improper depictions.

What keeps me watching DWD is the relationship between DW and Gosalyn. Those moments always made my heart melt and tear up. My favorite moment was in the episode, “Quiverwing Quack.” DW was forbidding Gos from fighting, and she gets upset, mentioning that he’ll always see her as his baby girl. He quietly replies. “Because you are.” That made my heart melt.

I commend DWD for going this deep into adopted families especially since it was a cartoon. A lot of cartoons are usually wary of depicting “adult themes.” Now cartoons are finally able to be more inventive.

Darkwing Duck is not in my top 10 favorites, but I appreciate it and have a lot of fun watching it.

Really hope Disney pulls through on the reboot so this awesome concept comes back.

Comment your favorite characters and moments from the show! I want to talk to about the show with other fans.  😁💜

My favorite characters: DW, Negaduck, and Gosalyn. 

Favorite episodes: Quiverwing Quack, Time & Punishment, and Life, the Negaverse and Everything. 

SUPERHEROS TEAM

Okay, we’ve got the Duck Boys and Team Magic

Now we just need…

Possible instance even in Ducktales 17 standard?

Negaduck and Duck Avenger in Trouble in St. Canard + Donald only gets truly angry if any of his family relatives most likely the boys get hurt + Donald can defeat strong foes by his own + Given there some deaths both onscreen and offscreen in Ducktales (Black Heron, the other vultures, the lion turning old and hiker died in the mountain) + Gosalyn's debut episode having the stake of the dimension that almost got itself destructive + Donald's near death-experience.

Kinda looking forward for Trouble in St. Cannard. I have a theory that Negaduck not only wants to take down Darkwing but those close to him Gosalyn, Launchpad, and Gizmoduck. Huey got involved which caused something serious that Duck Avenger has to get out from retirement.

That reminds me, is Trouble in St. Canard takes place after Let's Get Dangerous?

you are scarily close. trouble in st. canard does take place after Lets Get Dangerous: rise of the quiverwing quack.

200 points for anon over here

this is so I can figure out the order of episodes

the episode title beware the Heir of Dismal Downs is inspired by the name of a fic written by @godfrey-the-chaos-duck their fic titles alone are genuine art

next dungeons and ducklings character designs you guys will see is going to be Lena, May, Huey and gosalyn

y’all really had to vote for arguably the most difficult poster to make didn’t you lol. I’ve been working on the character designs behind the scenes as well screenshot redraws that are for me. I’ll post an update on the dungeons and ducklings character designs soon hopefully

Description : when Darkwing and Gizmoduck get captured, it's up to Huey and Gosalyn to save the day

For everyone who asked for gosalyn, darkwing and gizmoduck and Huey to be able to get the character development he deserved.

The teaser images will all follow a similar format of an episode cover,name and description while i sort out my top secret project because I’m insane and I’m dragging you all down with me cool, good because you don’t have a choice

y’all what dnd classes do you think the ducktales characters would be, for research purposes trust

psst hey, im teasing a teaser I’m just quirky like that y’know.

Btw i have read every single suggestion so far and they’ve all been amazing so i humbly ask you guys to keep them coming

Since everyone’s given me such amazing suggestions so far ill give you a hint for the teaser after this one: more Daisy
