Here’s some DuckTales (2017) + Amphibia parallels that I found

Drawing Daisy in a reporter’s outfit suddenly turned into making a reporter’s AU. Then after that I tried designing Quack Pack inspired outfits for the triplets, Webby, May, and June. 

With that being said, this is now become another new AU that I have made so far. Definitely expect more stuff like this in the near future! Soon I’ll be working on the outfits for the other characters. 

love is stored in the blue 💙

As the last episode approaches share your favourite moments from Ducktales.

These aren't even all of them.

The end credits to “The Last Adventure!” has me bawling 😭😭😭

“Phooey!”

Phooey Duck has been found faster than Donald Duck has been returned from moon prison.

Phooey is a true legacy joke though, back then you’d draw ducks until you got tired and it was the colorist’s job to decide which one was which. Occasionally, there’d be a panel with four nephews in it by mistake, this rare but reoccurring mistake was dubbed ‘Phooey’ by Disney comic editor Bob Foster.

In October of 1999, (exactly 20 years ago) a comic titled ‘Much Ado About Phooey’ offered an in-universe explanation for the fourth triplet. The three nephews were struck by lightning, which caused a rare phenomenon called spontaneous cell division… I’m serious. So now a phantom quatriplet just spontaneously flashes in and out of existence, and you shouldn’t worry about it.

Fhgfjfjfs Daisy really said “ I refuse to be his mother! .............but he is cute tho....” I LOVE HER

But real talk, I imagine Donald built up a bad habit of taking short cuts in chores being the single parent to three troublesome triplets

How you gonna take the trash out when, during the 3 minutes it takes to get from the dumpster and back, your kids have forged a fake ID, sewed their new winter jackets into a trench coat, and headed off to the nearest R rated movie stacked one on top of the other like Lincoln logs??

“Our reality just got a lot more dangerous.”

Bonkers cameo!

“DUCKS FEEDING DUCKS?!???”

Poor Penny, she looks so confused XD

WORTH THE WAIT!

Dewey Duck & Disapproval

Disapproval is Dewey’s worst nightmare. We’ve known this from the start and it was amazing to see this episode play with that concept and force Dewey to conquer it.

Since the beginning of the show we’ve been shown that Dewey seeks attention, validation, and approval. He prides himself on having positive reception and any negative feedback makes him completely shut down. We saw this in Sky Pirates. The family’s lack of approval and attention to Dewey and his story are what cause him to go off on his own and briefly lose his sense of self.

We see this again in this episode, but handled much differently. Every time Dewey is about to shut down and let the negative attention get to him, his family is right there pulling him out of it, reminding him to ignore it and focus on protecting Earth.

But this is Dewey we’re talking about. He can’t just ignore it. He needs this approval. He needs them to like him. He needs validation.

He needs to know that he’s worth something.

Without these things, Dewey feels like nothing, a failure, just another face in the crowd. He doesn’t want that. He wants to stand out. He wants his name known and he wants to be known for the right reasons. He wants to be known and loved for who he is.

We watch as he struggles to maintain his own morals to stay true to himself when everyone around him is vocalizing their disapproval. We see Dewey break and accept that he can’t force the crowd to love him.

Once he does this, however, he doesn’t change his game to “be the bad guy” like Scrooge suggests. Instead, we see him walk away, disappointed, in himself. He isolates himself to a corner to fully grasp the situation he’s currently in.

The crowd doesn’t like him and he doesn’t know how to change that.

And his conversation with Scrooge didn’t do much help. Scrooge admits to Dewey that it’s okay if he can’t do it and that doing the right thing isn’t always easy. (We’re gonna come back to this later) and that he called backup the moment Dewey was tagged in.

His own uncle told him, he wasn’t fit to win.

He’s angry. He’s confused. He’s upset. He thought he was good enough to change their minds. But he’s not.

Or

That’s what he believes.

This is the point where Dewey fully comes to terms that because of the overwhelming disapproval of the crowd, he can’t do this. He can’t change their minds. He can’t win. He lost his motivation, determination, he lost his spark.

Everything leading up to the locker room was Dewey getting beaten down to the point he doubted himself. He doubted his worth.

Without approval, Dewey feels like he’s nothing, so he gives up.

This parallels Sky Pirates in the sense Dewey loses who he is for the sake of attention, but in a less dramatic way.

Dewey doesn’t take any anger or frustration out on his family, he takes it out on himself. He knows he should be able to do this, the whole wrestling match was calling his name. He was made for this. So when things didn’t go his way, Dewey see’s his own fault in trying to force a narrative of something he doesn’t have control over and beats himself up about it.

If he can’t get the one thing he wants, what is he supposed to do?

This is where Louie and this lovely scene between the two come in.

It’s not Louie’s speech about seeing the angles and knowing his brother will be the hero at the end of this that causes Dewey’s spark to reignite, no, it’s this little moment right here,

This little line, this little gag, this play on of Dewey’s name in sentences that has been around for the whole series serves a purpose:

To remind us, to remind Dewey, who he is and what he does best.

Being Dewey.

Every time Dewey’s name has been tossed into a sentence it always comes before Dewey does something to emphasize his personality and silliness. This is no exception.

Hearing he just has to ‘Dewey’ it, reminds Dewey that he can still win this, he just has to do it his way and understand he can’t let negative reception stop him.

Dewey realizes that Jormungandr desires the acceptance and approval of the crowd just as much as he does. So he needs to cut the head of the snake, by beating him at his own game.

Dewey doesn’t fight back, he can’t, he doesn’t have the strength to. So instead he lets himself get tossed, beaten and thrown around in order for the crowd to realize that Jormungandr’s way of fighting isn’t fair nor the way of their people.

More importantly, every time Dewey got knocked down, he stood back up. Sure he was shaky, sweaty and bruised, but he stood up anyway. He wasn’t going down without a fight and this fight was going to be won the fair way, the right way.

The crowd see’s the determination and honor Dewey has in battle and that causes the turnaround. They help him because he has honor and they want the winner to be someone they feel good about.

The audience came to Dewey’s side, not because he forced them, but because he showed them he was worth supporting.

The irony is, this is where Dewey ultimately didn’t care about the crowd. He was just being Dewey and doing his Dewey thing. By just being himself, staying determined, refusing to back down and using that as his main focus in battle, he gained the feedback he wanted, but it wasn’t something he cared about. He had a job to do.

This episode’s lesson is: sometimes doing the right thing isn’t easy, and the way you go about it may upset some people, but as long as you know you did what’s right, that’s all that matters.

Dewey was the perfect catalyst to drive this lesson home. As a character written around attention and approval, Dewey provides why a lesson like this is so important.

We’re always told to make the right decision, to do the right thing, but we’re not really told that sometimes doing the right thing doesn’t always mean immediate praise. Our decisions are going to be criticized because of other’s personal preferences. We question our decisions long after they’ve been made and wonder if we truly did the right thing because of the disapproval.

Dewey show’s that it’s okay to be unsure, it’s okay to question if you did the right thing, it’s okay to have those moments of self doubt. It’s normal. It’s normal not to know. It’s normal that you may not always feel warm and fuzzy inside about your decisions. It’s okay to get disapproval, it’s okay to not go with the crowd.

As long as you stay true to yourself, and do what you need to do, whether other’s feel it’s right or wrong, good or bad, you did the right thing.

In my previous post I said there was anxiety in me, which wouldn't let me upload drawings here because I thought no one would like it.

That same drawing made me realize that maybe, what I do for fun, someone else would like to see. so I decided to upload another drawing that I did almost a year ago, (you can see it by the way the drawing is made).

However, I decided to do it again for you as a thank you for your very nice comments towards me.

By the way, this drawing is inspired by this other one, wich I found in Google :

DuckTales really popped off and said we’re gonna make an episode with the Three Caballeros and Daisy that’s a mashup of Ocean’s 11 and Die Hard and it make it the best thing you’ve ever seen, huh?

Dewey’s favorite band is not only a punk-rock band BUT ALSO an entirely FEMALE band

AND he based his hair style on the band’s lead singer.

GOD CAN I LOVE THIS BOY MORE THAN I ALREADY DO?

Unheard father and unheard son mutually proud when they see each other shine.

Yes, Dewey, you’re the Uncle Donald. And ain’t it sweet?
