QOTD: How did Donald and Gyro first meet? Then became partners?
I don't think there's a canon first meeting for these two. They likely met by being in the same neighbourhood. Gyro went out selling his gizmos on the street, and Donald, new on the block, was captivated by clever inventions he had in his cart. Gyro offered to follow Donald and make sure the gadget worked as intended, and as per usual things don't go as intended. So they get roped into a silly adventure together-- and a new friendship!
You could also go the childhood friends route....
And PKGyro real. I think they get together after working together in the PK-Gyro team. They start to really trust in each other through that, and it's even sweeter that Gyro and Donald share in a secret together. Donald probably asks him out first.
For Day 1: Lazy Days of @donro-week
who's ur favorite character in the series?
Okay, okay, fine I will be honest...
Despite the fact that I drew many drawings of him I still got very flustered that i got this question... which is incredibly hypocritical because this is something i tend to ask people first regarding this game...
If there's one thing I envy about tumblr folk it would be their utter ability to gush over characters they enjoy the most without filter which is something that I find very hard to do with my favorites even if I really want to. Embarrassment aside I'm actually extremely glad I got this question because it allows me to overcome my own barriers. I am overjoyed.
Nick is just...an incredibly fun character both design wise and personality wise.

The hunt for the anonymous cartoonist who transformed pop culture
Video clip from YouTube related to the analysis of Carl Barks and his comics and the problem of why Disney has denied him and his comics for a long time. Listen to this, it’s very interesting.

It's great you've been motivated to write the book again! What helped you get back into it? Your prior comment on how the craft of writing is undervalued in this digital age left an impression. I feel we are on the cusp of an era promising some wild, alarming possibilities. It's easy to feel anxious or lose hope. I worry my approach to making a living will be rendered obsolete in the next decade, and be forced to adapt to a new world using old skills. I always did prefer paper books to digital.
Generally speaking, my tried-and-true method of working through any mental block is to develop a bigger and better perspective. Yes, we are on the cusp. When a dramatic change descends upon people, it's normal for the first reaction to be an overreaction, especially if you are among the directly impacted such as writers/authors.
Looking back at similar historical moments, the early predictions were rarely accurate because they were anxious overreactions. No matter how big the potential for change, the process of change eventually runs up against a wall of stasis, in the form of people's deeply ingrained memories, beliefs, values, and habits. (You've brought up a great example as one of many people who still prefer paper books despite the convenience, cost-savings, and widespread availability of ebooks.) Thus, in the end, though change is inevitable, it is never as fast and dramatic as people fear.
Additionally, modern culture has a short attention span, and the novelty has already started wearing off as people get more familiar with the flaws and limitations of AI. AI is not something you can rely on and trust for final answers on important matters. Mostly, it is there to remove the burden of tedious mental work, which frees up time and energy for more meaningful tasks. One reason human beings still dominate the world is their ability to "domesticate" and neutralize threats, and the process has already begun with AI.
Yes, generative AI threatens to flood society with meaningless content at best and harmful misinformation at worst. The answer to the false and the meaningless isn't to give up on truth and meaning, is it? If you believe it is a matter of grave existential importance, then the answer is to do more to ensure that truth and meaning prevail.
Sorry for the long delay, but we’re back.
Quack Pack Week is return!
After a long break, we are back and this year we will pay more attention than before. Admittedly, the template we wrote on is not something, but it will mean a lot to many who will join this year's Quack Pack Week. Yes, some topics are the same as last time, for some reasons since some could not devote themselves to this, and now they can, that is, you can. We are not sure if we should organize it once or twice this year, because this year is a big anniversary because of the 100th anniversary of Disney, the 90th year since the first appearance of Donald Duck and the 40th anniversary of the creation of Disney Television Animation, ie Disney Afternoon. For now, Quack Pack Week will run from February 12th to February 18th.
Overall, the following themes for this year’s Quack Pack Week will be a choice of one of two themes, or you can take both, if you prefer. The following themes for this year’s Quack Pack Week are:
February 12 - Quack Pack Original VS Quack Pack Reboot
February 13 - School / Job
February 14 - Valentine's Day / Holiday
February 15 - Forest / Jungle
February 16 - Food / Drink
February 17 - Superheroes / Supervillains
February 18 - Crossover(s) / Family
Rules:
Not allowed: incest, gore, NSFW, fetish, vore, Ducktales episode Quack Pack (because that episode has nothing to do with the original show other than that title itself). Except for the first topic, it is then allowed, but the original should be included. However, this is dedicated to the original series.
You can write fanfiction, post some pictures, screenshots or videos from Quack Pack or simply draw drawings from the given topics. The decision is up to you. Similar to last time.
And yes, if someone can't make it, feel free to post a day later or a week later, we're certainly patient, but please do it by the end of February. And thank you all for this understanding.
Tag Quack Pack Week with "#quack pack week" in tags or tag us with @quackpackweek just to know and be up to date. That is, post your works through our tags. And don't post it before Quack Pack Week starts. Thank you!

Quack Pack Week preparations can begin!
so i'm actually doing it.
i'm putting my own spin on it but this was the spark that set off the flame.
me and @darkwingsnark were talking about “What if there was an Adult Cartoon™ (on level with every animated sitcom on FOX rather than Adult Swim) about Donald Duck learning to become a parent?”
and I’m honestly loving it way too much.. mostly because we all know classic disney characters swearing and doing adulty things such as swearing, drinking beer, having a sex life, losing loved ones and having the occasional existential crisis is high class comedy. (I mean it’s not a new concept, but it would be fun to actually have it be a longer story instead of just a joke or an art-project)

List of tags - [x] List of projects - [x]
This blog belongs to an aspiring writer-artist, and it will serve as my notebook to fill with art and writing. Primarily, I post content related to my Current Project, which is stated on my blog's main page. I also intend to post original stories + characters, and occasionally, I create content for fandoms (check my tag list!).
Pronouns: they/them
My art portfolio is on Carrd and is listed on the sidebar of my blog page. Some example art:
been a while since I drew some wigglytuff n chatot, sketched out some backstory headcanon things. I think Chatot started out working for the Pokemon Exploration Federation in a back-of-house role, as a cartographer or some other detailed work processing lots of information. he met Wigglytuff on an excursion for work, and Wigglytuff, being the affable person he is, convinced Chatot to team up for the day. They hit it off well, and Wigglytuff didn't want to let go of this connection. So, he approached Chatot and convinced him to form an exploration team together. Chatot was quite a stickler to his duties and refused at first, but as the days passed by, he realised his heart truly belonged out on the field with Wigglytuff, not stuck inside.
i'd like to expand on it later but for now, this is what i got.
