The dawning horror of realising you are both night people.
QOTD below.
QOTD: What do Gyro and Donald not like in each other?
They adore each other in many regards, but when it comes to Donald's impatience and temper, plus self-loathing-fueled envy, Gyro finds himself more concerned for Donald. It's not always comfortable to watch the lengths Donald might go for a crumb of public validation. On Donald's part, he is unhappy that Gyro stretches himself out thin often, and for so little pay from Uncle Scrooge. Despite chiding him to not overwork, Gyro wants to be useful and disregards his advice. Donald always sticks up for his partner, but it creates some strain when Gyro once again retreats into the workshop for days trying to meet the quota.
For Day 2: Conflict of @donro-week
enjoy this unedited first draft lol. More sad Alear than Alflear, admittedly. For @malflearweek
The blizzard was cold. Nothing alive should be here. He just had to do his work for Sombron… for Father. It should have been simple, solitary. But now there was someone with his face. He looked just like what he saw in the mirror, except his hair had a blue half. Instead of two crimson eyes, he had a blue one.
He could summon Emblems, too. Was he a Fell Dragon too? But those Emblems could talk. Their faces shone with life. Their hairstyles were vibrant with colors. His own Emblems looked unfeeling and lifeless. Fell Dragons didn’t need such things.
The person across from him had companions in the Emblems and a group of humans. They all rallied behind the strange dragon. He didn’t shout at them or threaten them. His voice was soft, welcoming, and responded to his followers’. It was strange. That was supposed to be a weakness. Leaders weren’t supposed to have companions. But they smiled at each other. For some reason, they all listened to him.
There was another strange thing. The human with the flower garland held his hand. He squeezed it back. The way they looked at each other, he thought this was love. Not the love he felt for his sister, or the one he wanted from Father. This was the strange love he saw in picture books.
He had to fight them. It made his stomach churn. He took so many lives already, and now he had to fell someone who looked like him. Maybe that was why everyone loved the one with his face. He didn’t look like someone who had to kill mercilessly. No, this was the thinking of a defect. It was time to fight.
The human with the flower crown– Alfred, he’d heard– met his sword with a lance. He was strong, but… his attacks were tepid. This, too, was strange. He had seen Alfred dispatch the corrupted with ease. He only needed a single, mighty swing. Now, when engaged in combat with a distinct advantage, this human couldn't disarm him.He locked eyes with his opponent. The fierce anger that burned when he fought the corrupted dissipated. Instead, he looked sad. Perhaps not sad, but pity, he realized. For him, a defect? For him, someone who couldn't fully silence the swirl of doubt in his heart? Could a dragon like him be pitied?
It was the one with his face who struck him down, his hands trembling around his sword. Even at the brink of defeat, he was pitied. They were stronger than him. They should use it to finish him off. He shouldn't be here anymore. But they just faded into the snowstorm, their dark figures knit together as one.
He wasn’t strong. He could not love. What did he have? The last of his energy drained out as he lay in the snow, he dreamed about what it was like to be loved.…From the distance, a dragon with luminous blue hair approached.

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.
tldr: drawing my adoptive gay grandparents
This is amazing , thank you!! I love Donald and nephews fluff, and how he made a great birthday for the boys even if it didn't go to plan.
Happy Holidays @dandyfelines I am your Secret Santa! I hope you enjoy this fic :) Sorry it took so long, its been a busy month.
@duckblrsecretsanta2023
no thoughts just country boy x city boy AU
I spend waay too much time on this, but it's finally done! woohoo
Based on that scene I really liked in the comic when Donald goes shopping for christmas gift
Chatot/Wigglytuff backstory sounds like an excellent project! I hope working on it goes well for you! -wWw-
Thank you very much! I appreciate this little note, as I cannot wait to share my Chatot/Wigglytuff story with the PMD fandom. I'm excited to bring it to life. Here is a little Chatot doodle as a teaser!
An old Wigglytuff x Chatot flipnote from 2017.
I want old aros so badly. I want a history. I want a future. I want tales of lives that I understand. I want to see myself in a future where I’m happy and comfortable.
But I don’t have that, so I’ll have to build it.
