I Was On A Call With My Friend, Explaining To Her The Unnecessarily Complex Lore Of My COTL AU And How

Losing my mind over the artwork in the leaked DWD pitch

Lamb wants bagels :3 I animated this during some down time for fun after 100%ing Cult of the Lamb. You can find some of my work on bsky, twitter, youtube and tiktok under the same user name: Undlark! Please do not repost.

Make Ducktales a college major right now

How “The Last Crash of the Sunchaser” Parallels the Story of Della’s Crash

this is my second dissertation.

I would like a PHD in Ducktales lore now.

first up we need to set up the players in this game (rather, who the characters “equivalent”/role in either end of the story are)

Donald=Beakley, sometimes all three of the triplets.

Scrooge. Scrooge is himself in both parallels.

Della=Dewey.

so the story of Della’s crash goes as follows:

Scrooge, as a present, decides to go ahead and build an experimental rocket ship for the mother-to-be-Della

he does this behind Donald’s, the voice of reason, back

Della takes the ship early and crashes herself on the moon, which effectively makes her seem dead.

while the story in “The Last Crash of the Sunchaser” goes like this:

Scrooge repeatedly ignores all reason and puts the kids in more and more danger

this defies Beakley’s heavy suggestion for more safety precautions

Dewey almost gets himself killed because he fervently goes after the last piece of the puzzle, and because Scrooge was not more careful on their flight

do u see what I mean now? the two different stories very much mirror each other

Scrooge is still going against what should be his better judgement. He builds a rocket; he crashes the Sunchaser.

and ultimately, this mistake and trauma in his past leads his family leaving him again, like Donald left

in this way, the rest of his family is parallel with Donald’s reaction to loosing Della:

Donald blames Scrooge for loosing his sister. the boys blame Scrooge for loosing their mom.

the generational cycle repeats itself

EXCUSE ME BARMAID! I’M AFRAID YOU ORDERED THE WRONG OFFSPRING! I ORDERED AN EXTRA LARGE BOY WITH BEEFY ARMS! EXTRA GUTS AND GLORY ON THE SIDE! THIS HERE! THIS IS A TALKING FISHBONE!

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACKKKK

One of my favorite headcanons/related Astrid theories, resaid in a very poetic way

okay so my theory about How To Train Your Dragon is that Astrid loved Hiccup WAYYYYY before the events of Romantic Flight but due to how the vikings lived in near constant combat with the dragons and young children/teens being forced to learn how to defend themselves and their families from an early age, she closed herself off to those feelings because by all accounts Hiccup was doomed to die. she resented how useless he was in combat, and she resented how much she cared. she was mean and dismissive to him out of fear that she would inevitably have to mourn him soon, and the colder she was the easier it would be.

then, miraculously, Hiccup begins to show some kind of competency in dealing with the dragons. but he's still not defending himself. he's finding strange ways of controlling them, but he's still as physically weak as he was before and Astrid can't see how whatever he's doing will help him outside of the training ring. great, you found out that Deadly Nadders like chin scratches. what about the Monstrous Nightmare burning down your house?

all this just makes Astrid angrier. how is Hiccup succeeding without violence? how will he survive without violence? violence is what she was born into. what does he know that she can't comprehend?

it's only later, when she sees that this scrawny beanpole of a boy has found a companion in a Night Fury, the embodiment of Death, that the miracle of him starts to make sense. he knows so much more than what any of their people can comprehend. and he wants so badly to show her. and for the first time ever, Astrid has hope.

i believe that this explains Astrid's comfortability and affection for Hiccup that she shows during and after the events of Romantic Flight, why she wraps her arms around him and kisses his cheek after everything. considering her personality, i don't think Romantic Flight shows her falling in love with Hiccup for the first time. i think she has loved him for a long time, and was too trapped in self-protection to allow herself to feel it (similar to Katniss regarding Peeta). but now she has hope that maybe he won't be ripped away from her. now she sees how much more there is to him, sees that he embodies Mercy stronger than Death.

more of F the sheep dog :D! someone on TikTok asked about if Lamb noticed them but Lamb honestly wouldn’t understand why either
