Della Duck - Blog Posts
Stanford Pines: "Life lesson, kids: adventuring is tough. Ya know, sometimes there's a cursed muse that turns out to be a demon."
*Attempts to fix an issue with the Quantum Destabilizer with a tool*
"Or sometimes you get sucked into a portal and TRY to stay alive, but a one-eyed triangle messes EVERYTHING up, keeping you here while your grand-niece and nephew grow up with their grand-uncles—"
*The tool snaps in half from the fast, tense movements, and he grits his teeth; holding the object up to inspect it disapprovingly*
"But you still got your health, a 'cool' metal plate, and tattoos that mock you every time you dare to undress!"

Day 7- Favorite Line
I was on the FLOOR.
There are only three types of ducktales characters
The science types with some big secret/dark past
The character whose entire personality is based off of some level of greed
And the daredevil adventurers with some wild insecurity.
You guys don't understand how much I hate Delpad.
I'm about to go on a rant here so buckle up.
It's such a bland ship, I find it to be unoriginal and uninspired. Not to mention it takes away queer representation, with Della and Penumbra being considerably a canon relationship/implied. And it's not like I think Donpad is the only good Launchpad ship, there are tons of amazing ones!! But Delpad does not fall under that radar.
Della originally started out hating Launchpad. Now, that isn't to say their friendship isn't cute, but it certainly would not spand past that in such a short amount of time.
While the only thing Launchpad and Della have in common is being pilots, Donald and Launchpad have way more in common than you would think, with some of Donald's original versions having dreams of being a pilot, and over all sharing a similar personality with Launchpad as well sharing similar struggles, (EXAMPLE: underappreciated, see as stupid/uneducated and over all treated like a burden) As Launchpad also has much more in common with drake or Fenton
What I'm saying is that to me, this ship is bland. I can understand why people might find them cute, but I still hate it with a full heart. It's bland, and unoriginal. I'm sorry.
I have just one thing to say about Moonvasion;
WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH?!?!?
I loved it, but STILL!!!!!!
Just saw new episode
No spoilers, but...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYLDKCJXYKSTKDITSGKDJTPOFUAWRKVHFHFIHM
Spoilers for Xmas episode!
I have but 3 things to say about Donald in this episode:
Donald is trying so hard to help Dewey feel better, and it’s adorable.
Donald is so cute with his guitar!
Donald called his sister Dumbella! I’m dying!
All done. Gotta watch it again before I can give an actual list of everything amazing in it.
Bonus: You’re a relative from the future, aren’t you?
Just got back from 5 day band trip, and this thought crossed my mind.
Ok, so you know how they’re building up Della so much, Dewey and Webby trying to find her and all that? Well what if they succeed? What if she comes back into the lives of her family after 10 years? These are my head canons of how the triplets at least would react.
Huey
He’s happy and polite, but still a bit distant. Who could blame him? He always thought in the back of his mind that his mother was dead. HE had to take care of his brothers while uncle Donald was working, HE had to make dinner in the microwave some nights, sometimes he even had to tuck his brothers into bed. His TRIPLET brothers, the youngest of which is only 13 seconds younger. So yes, he’s happy that his mom is alive and back. But she’s been gone for so long, he doesn’t feel like he’s talking to his mother. He’s talking to a stranger. I relative he’s never met. It will take a while for him to adjust to her.
Dewey
Can you say capital E Extatic?! He’s been working so long to find her, and he did it. He’s finally got his mom back. He’s always been a bit self conscious at school events, with all the kids talking about what their moms had done for said event (ex. made pie for bake sale, decorated, etc.), but now he can live it! Uncle Donald seems so much happier too, having his twin back. Uncle Scrooge is less cold having worked things out with her as well, everyone was happy! He feels he’s done something good for his family!
Louie
Let’s just say it bluntly, he’s pissed. This woman has been gone for basically his entire life, and now what, she just shows up again? Where was she when he got his tonsils out when he was 3? Where was she when bullies at school shoved him into the brick walls repeatedly? Where was she the hundreds of times uncle Donald had been passed out from work and he’d had a bad dream? Gone, that’s where. The thought had never crossed Louie’s mind that his mother was dead. He always assumed she had just left them with her brother and then took off because she couldn’t care less. Now she’s just set herself up in the centre of his life, kinda throwing it into chaos. He resents her for it. He wants nothing to do with this person. She’s not his mom. He doesn’t have one.
So... yeah. I’m done. Buh-bye!
Ok, I know I just posted, but I just got an idea.
You know how Selene said that Dewey’s got the treasure Della never found? What if that was the love of her children.
I mean, yeah, the kids love her, but like, how you love a dead relative you never met. Donald is their parent. She ran off. Whether she meant to come back or not, she still left. When the boys were babies. They weren’t old enough to love her back yet. They can’t even remember her.
That’s the treasure that Della might never know.
The treasure of raising her sons.
