โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Donโ€™t mind me, just thinking up fic ideas now that DuckTales is over
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Because of course one idea I had is a canon divergence, where Donald is actually thrown into the Ramrod
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
I was telling Cy-BRR!-a before, but I was curious about how Bradford had said that he couldnโ€™t throw Scrooge into it because heโ€™d find his way back somehow
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
And while he was probably just being bitter, it got me thinking
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
I havenโ€™t exactly figured out how the story will go though
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
One idea was kind of like a Tsubasa situation, where Donald isnโ€™t entirely erased from existence and is just broken up into pieces, so the family has to go around and find each piece to bring Donald back
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
A variation of that idea is that Donald canโ€™t be completely erased from existence because of Alternate Universe theory, and the fact that Donald does exist in alternate universes. So they have to travel to other universes to get a piece of alternate Donalds to restore their own
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Then thereโ€™s just the option of him....yโ€™know, being erased from existence
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Speaking of Bad Endings, Iโ€™ve also always wanted to write a DuckTales version of The Duck Who Never Was, a comic where Donald has a โ€œItโ€™s A Wonderful Lifeโ€ moment
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Though I donโ€™t really want Donald to be the one who wishes himself out of existence. For some reason, I lean a bit more toward Dewey making the wish?
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Kind of a heat of the moment, during an argument maybe. And less โ€œDonald never existedโ€ and maybe more โ€œDonald was the one to disappear instead of Dellaโ€
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
I canโ€™t figure out if itโ€™ll just be Dewey who remembers the alternate version of how things should be, or if Huey and Louie remember with him somehow, and the three of them have to figure out how to set the world right again
๐“Ÿ๐“ข๐“›โ˜•๐Ÿ“”๐“Ÿ๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ฌ๐“ฎ๐“ผ๐“ผ
... Or if he just wishes Della hadn't disappeared, not knowing Donald would take her place? Then again, the argument is more poignant.
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Iโ€™m not sure if Donald would take her place of Della never disappeared. But Iโ€™ll think a bit more on it
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
To be honest, I kind of like the anger in the wish a bit more
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
I also wanna do a fic of how the triplets feel about Donald going on vacation with Daisy, May, and June
MAD DOGS
this plurk says full respect for donald's importance rights and i vibe with that
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Because I imagine that theyโ€™d be a little confused and conflicted about everything. Theyโ€™ve always wanted to be a bit more independent, and have Donald less protective of them. But now that heโ€™s leaving itโ€™s....different? Not as good as they thought?
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
But yeah, so I wanted to write a fic with Donald getting ready to leave and having an individual goodbye with each of the boys, who react in different ways: Huey tries to be supportive (and overly so), Dewey gets a bit mad (he is like Della, after all), and Louie pretends not to care
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
And just...Donald reassuring them that he still loves them, and them coming to appreciate what heโ€™s done for them over the past 10 years
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
I also want to revisit my idea of a DuckTales/Legend of the Three Caballeros crossover. But instead of all the Caballero stuff happening pre-series, itโ€™ll happen post-series
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
With Donald traveling with Daisy, May, and June, it lends itself well with setting up for LotTC stuff
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Although Iโ€™d set the story to after they come back from vacation, to have all the family involved and helping Donald achieve his destiny as a Caballero
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Those are all the ideas I have so far, but Iโ€™ll come back to this plurk if I come up with more
Cy-BRR!-a
In the situation of Donald being the one lost in the rocket, Scrooge would still be utterly destroyed by it
Cy-BRR!-a
He fucked up super bad
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Cy-BRR!-a : Iโ€™m not sure if Donald would be lost in the rocket. I imagine something else happening to Donald, which would make it worse
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Because at least with Della getting lost in space, Scrooge can send rockets to look for her
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
But Donald just straight up disappearing? With no reason or idea why? How would anyone even start to look for him?
melcat33
short version - Daisy stares at the Ramrod, then quietly but with all the anger she can must says "Bring him back."
Pop. There he is.

based on the jokes I've seen on tumblr where they noted Daisy wasn't among the captured at the library, either because A) she beat the shit out of anyone who tried or B ) they fucking knew better than to try.
Cy-BRR!-a
Because you know Scrooge would still try everything he could think of
Cy-BRR!-a
And eventually when Donald is found, there's that rift because Donald has had no idea how important he was to Scrooge to begin with
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Cy-BRR!-a : Scrooge would definitely try, but then my brain makes it worse and is like, โ€œWell, so would Dellaโ€
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
And even though the wish is that Donald goes missing instead of Della, this universe has them both missing because Della went to try to find Donald and still disappeared
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
And losing both of them, Scrooge just gives up everything
Cy-BRR!-a
OW. OW
Cy-BRR!-a
So who's watching the triplets? Grandma Duck? Because you know Scrooge would be in no mental state to raise three boys
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Well in the original comic, it was Gladstone
Cy-BRR!-a
!!!
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Which, given his luck, would keep them well provided for
Cy-BRR!-a
Oh you bet
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
But itโ€™s not exactly a good thing for them
Cy-BRR!-a
Lazy as hell?
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Meanwhile Iโ€™m....trying to decide how bad is Bad
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Because in the comic, Donald not existing is just terrible for everyone
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
But Iโ€™m trying to decide if Webby not existing would be too much if Donald had been lost
Cy-BRR!-a
Okay OW
Cy-BRR!-a
I mean, she'd probably exist if we go with she's a clone of Scrooge because Bradford would be like "sweet no competition"
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Because on the one hand, losing Donald and Della could have broken Scroogeโ€™s spirit enough that Bradford didnโ€™t think the clone was necessary anymore? So project 87 never really got off the ground?
Cy-BRR!-a
Ooh, that would actually be an alternate explanation for why he didn't try another clone until later: No need to waste money on resources building and raising another clone
Cy-BRR!-a
Though this does beg the question: When was Webby made? Is she older or younger than the triplets?
Cy-BRR!-a
I'm leaning towards slightly older given Scrooge is warm and welcoming when Beakley comes to the door
Cy-BRR!-a
So my thought process is that the Spear incident didn't happen yet.
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
As far as this story though, I could see Bradford deciding that the cloning thing is no longer necessary and just....no Webby
Cy-BRR!-a
So if she would've been created post-Donald's disappearance, he scrapped the project
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Which, if Dewey is the one who made the original wish, would hurt him even worse
Cy-BRR!-a
Oooh...ow
Cy-BRR!-a
And the world is that much sadder without that little ball of sunshine
Cy-BRR!-a
It's being a real killjoy right now
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
For the purpose of this story, Donald goes missing before the Spear incident ever takes place
Cy-BRR!-a
And April hadn't been made yet?
Cy-BRR!-a
Oof. OOF
Cy-BRR!-a
So Bradford has more or less complete control over Scrooge and by extension McDuck Enterprises, we're down both of the Duck twins, AND we have no ball of sunshine in Webby
Cy-BRR!-a
Truly the darkest timeline
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
It gets worse, as that also means thereโ€™s no one really stopping Magica from trapping Scrooge in his dime
Cy-BRR!-a
TRULY THIS IS THE DARKEST TIMELINE
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Or the Moonlanders from taking over the Earth
Cy-BRR!-a
This begs the question: If Magica had taken over, who would win: the Moonlanders or Magica?
Cy-BRR!-a
Like it's pretty much a coin toss from my perspective
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Iโ€™m actually picturing the story taking place during a war between Magica and her forces and the Moonlanders
Cy-BRR!-a
UNINTENDED PUN
Cy-BRR!-a
I PROMISE
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
With Gladstone and the triplets just kind of existing because his luck has kept them safe and out of harm
Cy-BRR!-a
Lunaris is a frickin' strategic genius, but Magica is a Garbage Witch who is pretty Chaotic which Lunaris is bad at dealing with
Cy-BRR!-a
Also ooh war of magic versus the moon
Cy-BRR!-a
Will the world be forever plunged into shadow or will it begin orbiting the moon?
Cy-BRR!-a
No matter who wins, everyone loses
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
So the triplets have to figure out how to get things back to the way they were without getting caught by Magica or the Moonlanders
Cy-BRR!-a
And presumably reacquire some skills to get the job done because if they maintain their memories, were they just transferred into that alternate timelines or what?
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m trying to figure out. Like, if Dewey wishes for the things to be different, how can he keep his memories of the original timeline? And how does Huey and Louie, if they werenโ€™t involved in making the wish itself
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
Iโ€™m thinking another mystical artifact that allows a wish to be made, but some kind of protection happens that keeps them from forgetting while still becoming transported and planted into this new world
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
And, as a side note, Iโ€™m trying to decide if Gladstone would have kept the triplets names as Della had intended, or named them something more fitting with his own theme, like Fame, Fortune, and Chance or something equally weird
โ™ฉ ๐“œ๐“ช๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ป ๐“œ๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฎ โ™ฉ
......actually, Huey would likely be Chance, so Louie can be Fortune
Cy-BRR!-a
Could be he named them Fame, Fortune, and Chance but they hatched "out of order"
Cy-BRR!-a
Also it could be there's a termination clause to how the artifact works
Cy-BRR!-a
"Here's the effects of your wish. If you want to cancel, do X, Y, and Z"
