A duckverse OC I rarely use and I needa use him for something. Ahhh.
Commission done by @mistress-negs
His name is Kosoko Noah Kunda. When he was younger he was part of a group that fought elder gods. Different agents in the group are named with different zodiac symbols. His was Agent Taurus, not to be confused with FOWL’s Agent Taurus.
Malicia Macawber’s self love be pretty lit though.🔥 @mistress-negs
So over in RP-land, Negs and Mal decided to stage a sort-of-fake wedding to lure in a bunch of heroes and trap them… except Mal kind of forgot about the ‘fake’ part and went overboard on the wedding preparations (because of course she did).
I googled “most tacky wedding dress ever” and hybridized a few different designs in order to create this offensive monstrosity.
100% overdone and 100% Mal.
I need this fic. Especially any and all bridezilla moments.
I can’t stop it… please, god forgive me.
I don’t know how I’m only seeing this now but I am cackling.
Happy birthday, Snark! Hope it's an enjoyable one!
Thanks Mal! 💛
mistress-negs replied to your photo “You know, I think Mica is the only person I feel like fighting for...”
Random but last night I had a really weird dream where you and micaxii were just chilling at animation desks basically saying what you said in this screencap.
Do you have dreams like that often? I mean, not necessarily about US, mind you. But dreaming about reading/seeing things before they happen. Because I get that too from time to time. (Mostly bits of conversations and then images lining up.)
STILL, now you could say that our friendship is what dreams are made of. ;)
mistress-negs replied to your post “Honestly…. I would say Featherika Von Strangeduck has a closer model...”
@darkwingsnark I feel like most of the DuckTales lady ducks were a mish-mash of the same model, it was like they had only one template for 'sexy lady'.
Not to be gay for ducks on main.... But they did do a great job hitting it out of the park with Feathers. She is honestly my favorite of the three. BUT, that had more to do with the context of her character. And her personality. And... okay, maybe the fact I also have a soft spot for red heads.
But that said, i do agree. It seems to be the default for ‘sexy women who will only show up once’.
Do you know what happened to mistress-negs? Their blog's gone, and I wanted to know if they were alright-they're my favorite 'Darkwing Duck' blogger and I've shyly admired them from afar, and I wanted to check in, make sure all's well!
Mal is taking a short break from tumblr for a while and she’ll be back eventually. You know how it is, sometimes you need a cool down period.
Just wanted to add commentary based on your Bushroot tags: I think it's so fascinating how different generations watching the show for the first time interpret the characters so differently. I think it's because everyone is influenced by the current events/issues that are noteworthy, and since Nice Guys/incels/MGTOW/etc have been a growing topic in the past decade, it's made an impact. Before that, I think many of us were less wary of the 'lonely nerd' trope.
It makes sense-- and I think it’s a valid to be weary of those tropes. Heck, I have had men in the past latch onto me and legit on the first outing I ever went with one got on his knees and went ‘will you marry me’ just because I could have a discussion with him about Spider-Man. ( I took that as a joke but it became clear his intentions were not of the ‘friend variety’ when he suddenly kissed my neck as I was showing him my pokemon. ZOINKS SCOOB.)
My point is... I get it. But I think it just concerns me because I have seen tumblr taking problematic characters-- which all villains fall under because they’re supposed to be that way-- and then turning it around onto fans of said characters. I’ve lived through newer fandoms using the fact people are fans of villains to in turn villainize them. ‘You MUST be a bad person if you like this characters and must think it’s OKAY TO KIDNAP WOMEN!’
I guess with newer fans coming in I worry how that will change things. I think it’s great to see people fall for these characters for the first time-- I LOVE seeing that magic happen in real time. But with it I’m also concerned that something wicked this way comes-- and with it new standards of how someone is supposed to enjoy fandom.
Again, people are free to view characters however they like. Their feelings are always valid. Just... I hope fans remember that others’ feelings on said characters are just as valid-- and don’t use it to justify hurting people.
Happy birthday, Snark!! I hope it's been a great one, you deserve it!
Thanks Mal! I am very much looking forward to relaxin', being all cool (maybe shootin' some b-ball right outside the school) when a couple of guys, they'll be up to no good. they'll start causin trouble in my neighborhood. And then I'll get in one little fight, and my mom will get scared, and--
... I am derailing this way too much. Point is, thank you for the birthday wishes!
character headcanon meme: Bushroot, Negaduck aaaand... Tuskerninni (because I want to throw a random curve-ball in there).
Seeing as I love Tuskerninni, this is the opposite of a problem for me. In fact, I want to start with him! But here’s some DWD thoughts coming right attcha~
Negaduck and Bushroot!
Did Bushroot, so I got your Negs covered for ya!
1: sexuality headcanon: I also think he’s heterosexual aromantic. Or at the very least very romance repulsed. I will admit that the thought of him banging Darkwing while drunk DOES amuse me, but I don’t really see it happening.
2: otp: Malicia. Like, again, not romantic in the slightest... but they have great chemistry and I enjoy seeing your character interact with them.
3: brotp: Negaduck/Chainsaw for life.
4: notp: ... I haven’t the slightest idea.
5: first headcanon that pops into my head: The Negaverse didn’t always exist. The incident with the Tronsplitter was what created the Negaverse and the Posiverse. While the universe did pop into existance one day, the characters still had lives. So only Negaduck (and I suppose those that interact with him and met Darkwing) are aware that they are only one of multiple universes.
Also I think he only cares about Nega-Gosalyn to the extent of ownership. Doesn’t mean I’m against reading fics where he actually cares about her, though! I think it’s an interesting read. I just think as a character Negaduck wasn’t meant to be deep, ya know? He’s bad because he likes to be.
6: one way in which I relate to this character: I... don’t, actually. Well, I do get fed up with people’s annoyances, but doesn’t everybody?
7: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character: I still can’t believe he wore a diaper. This is a canon thing that has happened.8: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? He’s the definition of problematic.
I don’t know, was in the mood to doodle one of my favorite Darkwing Duck OCs. Meet Malicia McCawber, who belongs to the every amazing @mistress-negs. You keep on rockin’, girl.
Re: DW as asexual and Gos as trans. Honestly it just sounds like slapping more labels on them for the heck of it. DW, I could could see as poss. asexual because he does have that tendency to get so into crimefighting he forgets everything else. But Gos as trans almost implies that just because she's a tomboy and doesn't conform to "girly girl" standards that somehow that means she's not enough of a female.
See, I get that. In the sense that I also grew up not being into all the stereotypical ‘girl things’. Like preferring to play with my hot wheels and what not. And most of my interests would probably still fall under what many people would still call ‘masculine’-- even though it’s not seeing as if I like it, it’s automatically girl stuff since I am female.
But I wasn’t actually thinking of it in that sense. When I was thinking of trans headcanons, i was actually thinking along the lines of it would be interesting to see Gosalyn in a situation where they have to actually get introspective with themselves and realize they don’t feel right in their body. And then seeing Gosayln get nervous as they try to bring it up with their dad.
Of course, there could be many different aspects of their lives as to why they would feel uncomfortable and nervous about bringing it up to DW... but when I was imagining a situation ‘trans’ just happened to be what was on the brain.
That said, in all honesty, I don’t think there is a problem with slapping stuff on characters just because. Like, people are more than just one aspect of themselves. For example, on another topic but I feel it relates, it always bothered me when there would be a token kid in a wheel chair and their whole purpose was to show non-disabled people that they could do things despite being handicapped. Like, the whole characterization of them tended to be ‘I am in a wheel chair’. How this relates, is because while I know disabilities and not being straight and/or cis does influence aspects of your life... I don’t think that means everybody tackles it in the same way. And I just think it’s interesting to see more character that just go ‘this is me, this is who I am’ and just roll with it.
... I don’t know if any of that makes any sense. I hope it does. I’m just not doing well articulating my thoughts today.
