Firstly, the ending of ‘The Duck Knight Returns!’ was my all time favorite ending to a Ducktales episode to date! All those little pieces coming together that paid homage to the original Darkwing Duck and weaving it into the most original superhero origin story I’ve across; I’m still freaking out! All that potential for angst and deep stories! Whoever wrote that is a genius!
I’m really hoping, now that we’ve had that fabulous ending and all that promise, that we’ll get to see more of Darkwing. We’ve gotten a good amount of Gizmoduck, so I’m optimistic on seeing some Darkwing centered episodes in the new Ducktales.
I’ve been loving how the creative team on the 2017 Ducktales has been including content from the original source material (Della’s disappearance with the starship and Flinthart actually being South African - all things found in the original comics).
And with the team weaving in Launchpad as Darkwing’s sidekick in the episode, just like in the show, it got me thinking:
Now that we’ve got a more solid backstory established for Darkwing/Drake Mallard, does this mean we’ll see Gosalyn?
While she wasn’t my favorite character in the original show (I applaud her voice actor, it’s such a recognizable voice - but for me, it was a little grating on my ears), I really liked the idea of her being around, and the story of an orphan being adopted is always touching.
But for the new version, I’d like to make a suggestion:
Don’t have the new DW/Drake adopt her.
Now before anyone gets mad: hear me out.
I’m just suggesting a different candidate. I still want him to adopt a plucky girl that will keep him grounded; one that I think really deserves to have a family after all she’s gone through.
That’s right, I’m talking about:
Now that we’ve got this girl back, I suggest that instead of bringing in Gosalyn, that DW/Drake should come across this (at this moment, assumedly homeless) plucky orphan and adopt her.
Lena’s got the ‘keeping it real’ attitude, she’s already rocking the casual tee shirt shirt we saw on Gosalyn, and it would give the writers more ways to feature her in future episodes!
Okay, I might be a little bias because I love this character so much, but I’m still saying her as DW/Drake’s adopted daughter still works!
Ducktales staff, you should do this. Please.
Just a random peeve of mine I discovered:
I think guys that are of average height but lanky with pianist hands, prominent cheekbones, soulful brown eyes, soft tenor voices, and who are studying Neural Engineering shouldn’t be allowed to work at the Genius Bar at Apple stores…at least not when they’re fixing on my malfunctioning iPad.
Seriously, it’s not fair that a guy I would have dreamed up to be the perfect love interest in one of my stories actually shows up in real life.
3 Quotes of Mine (that pretty much sum up everything you really need to know about me)
“I would say Akhenaten is one of my least favorite Pharaohs.”
“I thought a ‘Vote of no Confidence’ was just a Star Wars thing.”
“I’ll put the bullets underneath the zebra cakes.”
(And yes, I have actually said all of these out loud in conversations with other people)
I support this statement 100%
...Well, maybe 90% (taking off ten for possible NSFW stuff ;3 )
Go for it. Draw my OC. If you want, I’ll even give you reference posts. Go to town on it.
You are welcome to draw my OC and surprise me with the result. Seriously. In fact, I encourage it. I will proudly display whatever it is you submit to me regarding my OC. There is a chance that I will squeal about it for several days.
Even if you feel you aren’t good at whatever artistic adventure it is you do, please feel free to submit it to me. I want to see what you have done.
One of my friends and I are divided because of Obi-Wan and Maul.
Our rivalry over who is the superior of the two is as strong as Obi-Wan and Maul’s own rivalry.
“The trailer might be divisive”
No shit. My friend name me one (1) thing that hasn’t divided Star Wars fans.
“You want me to spend money? Fine! Let’s go spend an insane amount of money!”
“Where are we going?” ^_^
“To a BOOKSTORE!”
“…” -_-
(A man gives me unlimited funds, I’m buying a library)
[This was originally for just Sylus, but I got caught up in the moment and now its kinda dramatic, so this could apply to Rafayel.]
He keeps trying to make us use his black card, but he doesn't understand why we aren't buying expensive jewelry, or fancy clothes.
Instead were using it for mundane shit like groceries.
Then he confronts us on why there are only a few small purchases when he literally has MILLIONS.
"You have an unlimited card, and refuse to use it..."
"No I'm using it."
"Not anything substantial."
"What, food isn't substantial to you? I'm using to pay for amenities so I can save up for the more taxing items."
"I gave it to you so you could use it for the more expensive items! In fact, you could even use it to pay for the 'amenities' and still have enough left over to buy a nice summer home!"
"I don't need a summer home!"
"My point is you could buy anything! Jewelry, name brand clothing, if you want food you could buy from somewhere nicer! Instead I have a purchase on my card for an 'Auntie Anne's Pretzels...?'"
"First off, their Pretzels are amazing. Second, I dont want anything fancy! I can't wear jewelry on the job and have no where else to wear such gaudy clothing, not to mention all of those NaMe BrAnD clothes are ugly!"
"Couldn't you at least try getting more expensive tastes?"
"My expensive tastes are junk food and plushies! I have no need for jewelry or bougie shit like you!"
"You could get a million plushies! Or even a custom cake!"
"I dun wannaaaaa!!! I don't need a million plushies! I don't even have the space for that many- and no I'm not buying a summer home- and why would I get a custom cake if it's not for something special?? What you want me to buy a cake with lattice work and marbling that just says 'Congrats! You got out of bed today!'"
"If that's what you wanted; YES! I have more than enough for you to buy a whole mall!"
"I don't need nor want an entire mall!! I just wanted to buy some beef for stew!!!"
"Not even a steak?"
"No!!"
"Then I'll just buy all of jewelry and clothes for you!"
"I have nothing expensive I want!! I just wanted to have stew!"
He's just pinching the bridge of his nose and trying to calm down. This is not only the first time he's given his card to someone and they not rack up a bill. But also the first time hes gotten THIS upset.
"At the very least, tell me you didn't look at the price."
"I did not-"
"Oh thank the gods!"
"Because I already knew it would less than $100."
He feels like he just got punched in the gut. He has to leave the room and cool off before he comes back, grabs us by the wrist and pulls us outside.
"Where are we going?"
"Somewhere expensive."
"But I don't-"
"Sh! Just... Let me have this..."
SPOILER FOR BOOK OF BOBA FETT (episode 6)
*********
My personal head canons:
What Luke is really going to miss when Ahsoka leaves are her stories about the diplomatic general, the queen turned senator turned spy, the hero of the republic, and the adventures (messes) they got themselves in and out of. Especially the bits where his dad did something reckless (stupid) and Obi was snarky about it.
When Ahsoka leaves, Luke tries to get R2 to tell him more stories but the cheeky little droid insists on only telling him about his solo adventures during the clone wars (or claiming the restraining bolt and the thing that tried to eat him on degobah messed with his memory banks).
Every now and then Ahsoka will look at Luke’s hair or eyes, note the color, and smile.
Luke tells Ahsoka about Leía and she’s amazed how much of a mix of Padme and Anakin the twins turned out to be. She’s also not surprised that Padme’s daughter fell for a bad boy ace pilot with a devilish grin.
Luke purposely chose that place for the academy because it has enough wilderness for training - but not the kind that you have to worry about ships sinking into bogs, stepping on slime, and you can always see what’s in the water. Plus, no parent would be willing to leave their kid on degobah.

So my feelings towards my new computer is...mixed
Seriously, why can’t I have my login background be a pic from one of my Photo folders and it updates every time I add a new pic? I could do that on a 12 year old computer, why can’t I do it on a brand new one?!
The blue line represents law enforcement standing between the people and anarchy, criminals, and violence.
Those who utilize this flag or symbol and derivatives of do so because they are expressing solidarity with law enforcement other first responders, respect, gratitude, and simply support to the men and women who come from all varieties of creeds, races, and beliefs. It is also not uncommon to use it to express mourning over the death or murder of someone in law enforcement.
Before the flag, the symbol was simply this:
And it would later expand to include other aspects of law enforcement and first responders. Red for Firefighters, Silver for Corrections Officers, Gold for Dispatchers/Communications Officers, White for EMS, and Orange for Search and Rescue.
There are versions which include many “Thin Lines” to show respect for multiple agencies. I for one have this one on the back of my car.
Before all this PC nonsense, people used these symbols as a means of support, respect, and encouragement. “We see you, we appreciate you, we are thankful to you.” It never had anything to do with race, hate, power, control, or anything negative.
These symbols have existed long before the mobs called them racist or symbols of ‘white power’ and no matter how you attempt to make them represent something evil, it will not work or change what it stands for:
If you ever work as a first responder or in that community, be it law enforcement, EMS, firefighting, SAR, dispatch..you see hell, sometimes daily. You see your own hell, the hell of others. You see blood, death, torture, cruelty and evil. Lives are risked. Lives are lost - sometimes it could be your own, or someone you were tasked with protecting. Someone you worked side by side with. It’s a calling, and it’s both heaven and hell for those involved. All of us are a family, and this is how we reach out to each other to tell each other something simple:
If you choose to see that as racist, demeaning, hateful, or anything else negative, especially after being explained otherwise, then there is no helping you - unless it’s someone from our community.
Regardless of what you think of us, how you hate or love us, we will always come to help you even if it means getting hurt to do so, or even killed.
That’s our family, and this is our symbol. It will never mean hatred.
For those who still think otherwise and believe yourself good and honest people, I have a challenge for you. The next time you see someone, be they IRL or online and they’re sporting the thin blue line, ask them calmly to tell you what it means to them. Why it’s important to them. What they think of it.
I think you’ll live happier knowing that something you believed was hateful is actually out to do good.
Just random stuff that pops into my head or tends to circulate through my brain.
