Scrooge McDuck in Australia in search of a shiny crocodile egg - The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck - Donald Duck and Joey the Kangaroo - Daddy Duck - Australia Day - Duckverse
Yes, I am late, because Australia Day is celebrated on the 26th of January, but for some reason I didn't get to finish it until now. However, since I'm currently in the spirit of Australia, I'm going to publish some drawings of our heroes related to that country.
By the way, Australia Day is celebrated because on that day, in 1788, the first fleet made landfall and raised the British flag under the command of Arthur Phillip and founded Sydney there. Admittedly, the first settlers were prisoners.
The first drawing I drew was related to The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck and the comic "The Dreamtime Duck of the Never-Never", which was the seventh part of the cult album by Don Rosa and tells about Scrooge's trip to Australia and his many misadventures . Scrooge met the highwayman and saved the aborigine from that highwayman. That aborigine is called Jabiru the aborigine and he is a representative of the indigenous people who lived in Australia. Scrooge found a brilliantly decorated egg that was worth a fortune, yet hearing from Jabiru the dream stories, otherwise known as Dreamtales, which were painted in the cave, he gave up on it and moved on in search of greater riches. I drew Scrooge, Jabiru, and a bound highwayman in a cave that was painted with various images that foretell Scrooge's future (you can see the Money Bin and Scrooge's future family members Donald and Huey, Dewey, and Louie). By the way, I used painting motifs as used by Aboriginal people and as used by Don Rosa in his comics, but I combined them in my own ways. Yes, and music related to these drawings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLVPgNjQ5kg
The second drawing is a redraw from the Donald Duck classic short "Daddy Duck" from 1948, directed by Jack Hannah, where Donald adopts a baby kangaroo named Joey the Kangaroo. Although mischievous, that kangaroo still loved his adoptive father Donald, as he loved him, and in my opinion it is one of the few moments (at least as far as Jack Hannah is concerned) where Donald finally had a happy ending. Yes, I drew it, because after all, kangaroos live in Australia.
I hope you like these drawings and these ideas and feel free to like and reblog this! And happy belated Australia Day!

A small frog who acted upon a large and greedy desire. Tiddalik's guzzling of all water was an issue to everyone, and thus everyone had to come together to deal with the result of his unchecked drink.

Hey don't cry, here's a story about a boy and a puppy thylacine (Kaparunina*) from the people who saw them.
youtube
How the Tasmanian Tiger got his stripes.
*Kaparunina is the name of the Tasmanian Tiger in Palawa kani, a reconstructed/composite language created by people of various indigenous tribes of Tasmania.
There is a referral to rape later on in the video, but the actual story stops before that.

'Mermaids'
"In small, non-Western societies today a more 'archaic' attitude is often still encountered towards that part of the self that is sited on the other side of the fence of civilization, in the wilderness. For the Bakweri of Mount Cameroon, the world of the 'outside' is the world of the mermaids (liengu). This world includes the sea and the primeval forest. The 'outside' is also the realm in which the women of the Bakweri are at home. (...)
All women are outside, but the mermaids are 'more outside' than all the others. If an ordinary woman is possessed by such a spirit being, and this may happen not only to a young girl, but also to an older woman, then she needs to leave the world of culture. She dresses herself in a skirt made of the bark or the roots of the iroko tree, is given a liengu name, and learns the language of the mermaids. After some months, at dusk, she is finally thrown into a deep waterhole by a medicine man or a medicine woman. (...)
The woman has now turned into a mermaid; she lets her hair grow long and matted. She rubs her entire body with a mixture of charcoal and palm oil until she is black from head to foot. She avoids contact with all 'cultural' objects, especially those things made or worked by Europeans or by mens, and instead of the phallic cultivated banana, she eats only the wild fruit shot through with seeds.
As far as the men are concerned, this woman is now definitely 'out'; With other women, she speaks the language of the mermaids, unintelligible to men. She has turned completely wild, and she lives in a strange world, inaccessible to men."

Many civilizations from all over the planet have creation myths as part of their culture and traditions. Perhaps the most ‘creative’ of the creation myths include primal eggs, remains of giants, a spider grandmother, and a spitting decapitated head!

My amazing friend @chelledoggo has graciously made me my very own “Figmentsona”!
I call him Wanbi (pronounced “one-bee”)! Read more about him under the cut!
(yes, i will colour this in later)
Tumblr media
In a time before time was a concept, before electricity or even paper, there was The Dreaming. Aboriginal Australians believed that the creatures and beings from the Dreaming, or Dreamtime, were what shaped the earth they lived on, and provided its resources, natural gifts and even states of mind. Even after the British colonisation of Australia, Dreamtime stories such as those of the Rainbow Serpent and Tiddalik the Frog were passed down through word of mouth by the Aboriginal people, later gaining traction through written word and more modern forms of communication. However, among the many well-known ones in modern Australian society, one is more obscure. The tale of Wanbi (pronounced “one-bee”), a hybrid of a waruga (a water dragon) and a warrigal (dingo), with the wings of a banguu (bat), and floppy, buru (kangaroo)-like ears. Just as the aforementioned Rainbow Serpent gave the earth life, Wanbi gave the earth the gift of imagination, and became the guardian spirit of the Eora and Dharawal nations (what is now commonly known as Sydney and its surrounding areas). An optimistic, kindhearted and happy creature, the spirit of Wanbi has guided the indigenous people of Australia through challenges and troubles, with the power of both his and their imaginations providing the people with ideas and enriching their culture. In recent years, Wanbi has become close friends with Figment, and his creator Blairion “Blair” Mercurial, the Dreamfinder, sharing tales of their many experiences across history, and with Wanbi enlightening both Blair and Figment to tales of imagination that both had never heard of before.

Clearing the Clouds from Your Mind
Marcus Aurelius, and a dream account: 'Clearing the Clouds from Your Mind'
Tumblr media
[Image: “Combing Through the Cumulonimbus,” by John E. Simpson. (Photo shared here under a Creative Commons License; for more information, see this page at RAMH.)] From whiskey river: 24 Remember how long you have been putting these things off, and how often you have received an opportunity from the gods and have not made use of it. By now you ought to realize what cosmos you are a part of, and what divine administrator you owe your existence to, and that an end to your time here has been marked out, and if you do not use this time for clearing the clouds from your mind, it will be gone and so will you.
(Marcus Aurelius, translated by Jacob Needleman and John Piazza [source])
I’m going to do something a little different — okay, a lot different — with this week’s whiskey river Fridays post...
