trying to find all the comic panels and scenes I think about to use when I write my Della analysis and boy howdy do I love her so much; wish she would show up more
Young Don getting frustrated with his Walkman would be amazing actually
Or better yet—waiting for his new favorite song to come on the radio so he can make a cassette of it, only for the DJ to start talking 10 seconds before the song finishes, ruining it
So basically I have 3 Duckverse timelines running through my brain simultaneously (Scrooge and his siblings keep their original birth years, it’s other family members and Donald’s generation that shifts from then on):
Timeline 1: Donald & Della are born around 1920 (ex: Don Rosa)
Timeline 2: Donald & Della are born around 1957 (ex: DuckTales 1987)
Timeline 3: Donald & Della are born around 1983 (ex: DuckTales 2017)
And then I mentally (because I almost never actually draw) make different designs for the characters based on the different time periods’ fashions because I’m normal
Today's disabled character of the day is Fethry Duck from the Donald Duck, who has Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

How is anybody saying that they were born in the early 2000s? Like would make Donald like. 24. At the oldest. He is older than 24

In all seriousness, it’s so good to meet you! I’m also sort of new here, even though I’ve actually been establishing myself for months.
It makes me so happy to see anybody join the fandom! It’ll be fun!!
Hello Tumblr
I became obsessed with DuckTales and heard the DuckTales fandom was here. So here I am :)
I've been hovering silently on Tumblr like a ghost for awhile, as per my social media usage habits. When I was obsessed with My Little Pony, I never interacted with the community. Alas, I crave interaction with people who share my interests. Thus, I make myself known.
Now that I've made this icebreaker post, I will definitely start reblogging, don't worry. And I have my own fan works to share as well.
When I read that part of the Bible I was like “woah! That reminds me of Della’s characterization in the 2014 Dutch Della Duck comic!!!” because I’m so autistic about that damn comic.
Okay, I’m going to go on a bit of a ramble: Everybody who knows about this comic seems to agree that it was the basis for DT17 Della, because this was the only time she’d been portrayed as a pilot/astronaut and proposed the idea of her being lost in space.
And that makes perfect sense, but even though it seems obvious, I had my doubts about that just because of the timeline. That Dutch comic, as I described, came out in 2014. That’s still pretty recent in the 80+ years of Disney Duck comics. And DT17 was announced in 2015. So, I was wondering if the DT17 crew could have even been influenced by that comic, because it had only come out the year before, so I was doubting if they could have known about it?
But those crazy people did their research and somehow found this comic from a different country and in a different language, and liked it so much they decided to use it as inspiration for their show. When the comic was still nearly brand new.
And the reason I don’t doubt that they were inspired by it anymore is because of this character description; it just seems too similar to be a coincidence.
ALSO! Another one of the leaked documents is a bunch of rough English translations of Italian duck comics, so they definitely could’ve researched Dutch comics too.
Please talk to me about comics Della and DT17 Della’s relationship with being a woman. I am so not normal over both of them (but I go more not normal over comics Della because there isn’t nearly as many discussions over her). Ugh I love herrr
And please give me your queer readings of her. I need those
