#manny the headless man-horse

[shychick-52]

Gyro has really had a huge impact on a lot of people's lives in DuckTales. And sadly, he was so overlooked (by both the characters and the production crew)...

If it hadn't been for his OxyChew supplying Della with oxygen, nutrition, and water, she never would have survived to make it back to her family; the Ducks really owe him a huge debt of gratitude. It honestly bothers me how ungrateful Della was; I mean, I get how horrible it must've been to suffer the taste of black licorice for a decade (and to have the taste permanently stuck in your mouth after that), but c'mon...

In 'The Most Dangerous Game... Night', if Gyro hadn't shown up with his shrink ray and interfered in the Ducks' game night, Louie- who was questioning how he fit into the family- might not have discovered his talent of seeing all the angles, and how that contributes to the family on their adventures, and how he could use that talent to someday have his own successful business like Scrooge.

If Gyro hadn't created the armor in the first place (before it became the Gizmoduck armor, back when it was still known as Project Blatherskite and was supposed to be Gyro's ultimate project and solution to regain control over his inventions after they always turn evil), Fenton never would have discovered that his passion for helping others- which he still always loved doing as a scientist, even after becoming Gizmoduck- could also extend to being a superhero. And Gyro actually gave him the new-and-improved model of the armor in the end, which he specifically built for Fenton (self-contained, using Fenton's brain as the core processor this time); granted, that was on Scrooge's orders, and Gyro still thought Fenton was a danger to himself and others in the suit, but the point stands.

If Gyro and his technology hadn't helped Scrooge get back his gold Rockerduck stole (Gyro happened to be stuck in the Old West with his Time Tub, which was a fortunate coincidence), Scrooge wouldn't have gotten that part of his fortune or that part of his legacy.

Gyro took Manny on as an intern and gave him his own name- and yes, Frank Angones indeed confirmed he got his name from Gyro, which likely explains why Gyro actually remembers it- allowing our favorite Headless Man-Horse to become more of a normal guy with a normal life like he wanted, instead of just an evil supernatural creature or 'freak'.

Gyro played a huge part in helping disable the Solego Void before Donald could be erased when Bradford threw him in!

As @sometimes-they-come-back-237 pointed out in a very similar Gyro appreciation post (which I think is such a fun coincidence, and it's so cool more people agree), he saved both Della and Donald, and he deserves a raise (and more respect by Della)!

I don't know enough words to tell you how much I love the Ducktales reboot T_T

Do you knew that the reboot didn't invented the nickname "Dumbella" for Della ? You can see it in a comic on a letter signed "Dumbella" but this also is her name in Dutch !

And the triplets girls originally are Daisy's nieces ! I didn't remember that !

Definitely that "Huey, Webby, and Fenton set up the Italian restaurant in Gearloose's lab again, but this time to get Gearloose and Panchito to go out on a date" idea that's been tossed around. 😂😂😂

Damn, starting me off on something hard with a bunch of characters I've never written for before and most of whom I only found out existed this September XD

Fr though hell yes, someone had to write it, it might as well be me XD

I used all the interpretations of Panchito for inspo to write this, which is why he can do magic like he could back in the 40's and has a mixed version personality, and I have absolutely no idea if I've written any of these characters even halfway decently, and dear god this got longer than just a fic bite, but here you go!

Gyro stepped out of the elevator looking as grumpy as ever and extra tired. You could almost see the storm cloud over his head as he peered through his glasses at the trio gathered nervously at the doors to the lab. Well, the duo gathered nervously and Manny. "Well? What's the big emergency, what did you do?"

Fenton moved to meet him, walking him to the doors. "It's, uh, it's kinda hard to explain. It's not world ending bad, or really super bad, but we definitely need you here for this." He hadn't really figured out what to say. The idea had just been to get Gyro to the lab, and telling him the truth would never do it. Hell, telling the truth would probably make him run a mile, but watching him deal with his feelings, or rather attempt to shove said feelings deep into a box before making a machine designed to remove said feelings, was getting painful, so it was time to give a push in the right direction.

Huey opened the lab doors for them, giving a small bow. "Welcome, welcome, Doctor Gearloose, to your destiny!"

Gyro took a split second to take in what was in his lab before turning on his heel and heading back for the elevator. "Nope." He got about three and a half steps away before Manny grabbed him under the arms and hoisted him back into the lab. "Put me down! What is the meaning of this?"

"It's a date!" Huey supplied helpfully. Fenton decided to take over.

"We figured helping you face your feelings and getting to know Panchito properly would be a lot...healthier than trying to surgically remove your crush or aggressively deny having feelings."

"I don't have a crush!"

"And Panchito really likes you back." Huey pointed out. "He's been literally flirting with you his entire stay in Duckberg."

"So we thought we would help...?"

If looks could kill, Gyro would probably be surrounded by bodies at this point. "This is not helping. Now put me down this instant or you're all fired!"

Huey, Fenton and Manny exchanged flat looks before the latter unceremoniously dumped the raging scientist by the table. Determined not to face his feelings, he followed them to the door, yelling all the way. "That's it! You're all fired! Manny, Intern, Red Nephew, fired!"

"I don't even work for you!" Huey shot back with a roll of his eyes. "Just get in there."

At that, Manny slammed the door shut and locked it. Gyro made an attempt at prying the doors open, more in the interest of throttling the trio than anything else, but ultimately gave in. He wasn't going to escape this stupidity without either inventing his way out or sucking it up and going on a stupid date set up for him by children.

Turning back to the lab, he looked once more at what they had done. It was set up much the same way it had been the last time the children had hijacked it for an ill fated attempt at romance. Wooden trellises with grapes hanging from them and a heart festoon between them, all over a table for two lit by Lil Bulb, once again traitorously taking part in this ridiculous farce. Panchito was already in the far seat, almost certainly having witnessed the whole spectacle from before, though his attention was on Lil Bulb, perhaps to give Gyro at least the illusion that he still had some dignity. He was humming to himself, something that sounded suspiciously like elevator music. When the little robot noticed him looking at them, he gestured for Gyro to take the empty seat, tapping his little foot impatiently until he complied.

There was a brief but very awkward silence, broken only by the scuffle of someone in another section of the lab, undoubtedly another one of McDuck's child relatives also determined to 'help' Gyro with his 'love life'. Panchito cleared his throat.

"Your friends certainly are spirited. And the children. I would say I'm amazed at how much they've set up without us knowing, but I have seen enough to know they are capable of some cool stuff...they didn't tell you this was a date, did they?"

"What was your first hint?" Gyro grumbled back.

"The shouting."

"...That was a rhetorical-...whatever. How did they trick you here?"

"Well, they didn't. Not really." Panchito shrugged. "Donald's nephews told me it was going to be a date, but they said 'secret admirer' and made out you planned it." He presented a neatly folded piece of paper, which upon inspection was a short letter, indeed signed by 'your secret admirer', inviting him to the lab. Rather annoyingly, it was in a pretty good forgery of Gyro's own handwriting, though it definitely wasn't something he would ever write himself.

"And you went along with it?"

"I didn't see a reason not to. I didn't think they would set this all up as a prank, and I see no problem with giving an admirer a chance. Especially if they are as smart and handsome as this one."

Gyro proceeded to very elegantly choke on his own spit. 

He briefly wondered if this was what it felt like to die from embarrassment and managed to glare at Panchito through the tears in his eyes as the rooster moved to his side of the table to pat his back. As he managed to clear his throat and shoo the Caballero back to his side of the table, the final perpetrator of this farce approached. Scrooge's daughter and housekeeper's granddaughter, dressed as a waiter, complete with a false moustache for god only knows what reason. As with the last time she pulled something like this, when she spoke to them it was with a heavy, terrible Italian accent.

"Buongornio, welcome to Jetta Scorpios, the most romantic place this side of Duckberg. Can I tell you about tonight's special?" She handed them menus. The only thing written inside was 'romantic spaghetti dinner for two'. "It's spaghetti!" She supplied helpfully.

"We will take the spaghetti special." Panchito answered with a smile, handing his menu back. Gyro got the impression he was treating this as a child's play pretend game.

"Of course, signore, one romantic spaghetti special coming right up!" Webby took the other menu and bowed out graciously back to wherever in the lab she had been hiding. She seemed happy.

"You're good with kids." Gyro noted.

"Ah, yes, I do a lot of entertaining at children's parties."

"Singing?" He vaguely remembered this guy and that other one, the parrot, playing at Webby's birthday.

"Singing, playing music, I can do magic too. All sorts. I'm a performer at heart, and I have many ways to keep my audience happy. You have to be able to read the room and understand the kind of person you're performing to as well. For instance, those performances are very different to the kind of show I put on in wrestling."

"Wrestling?"

"I have a masked wrestling career. El Gallo Loco! I have quite the record!" His eyes went back to the makeshift lamp between them. "I'm told you have quite a record too. You made this, right?"

"His name is Lil Bulb. He, and the rest of Bulb Tech, are a highly sophisticated artificial intelligence that can interface with a wide variety of existing systems and machines and perform just about any task put to them. It just so happens that they, like many of my creations, are wildly misunderstood."

Panchito put his chin in his hands, listening with rapt attention. "I was alone with him for a while before you arrived. He seems completely alive, like his own person. Are the others all their own people as well?"

"I, uh..." Gyro had to admit he wasn't expecting this sort of interest from what he had previously seen as a braindead rooster. "Yes, I've noticed they all have their own distinct personalities."

"Amazing. You've created not just an artificial intelligence, but life."

"But smarter!"

"If you can do that, I can only imagine what other wonders you've created here."

Gyro thought for a moment, wondering what, if anything, he could really show this guy, a guy he'd just a few minutes ago been sure he'd have nothing in common with. "What do you think about being able to see history as it unfolds?"

Panchito opened his beak to answer, eyes shining in excitement, only for them to be loudly interrupted by Webby's return with a large plate of spaghetti which she dumped in the middle of the table.

"One romantic spaghetti special! Buon appetito!"

The spaghetti itself had several strands tied together, clearly to force a ridiculous 'Lady and the Tramp' kiss. A quick glance to the side saw Webby hiding nearby with a camera in hand. Gyro decided pretty quickly he wasn't going to eat it. If nothing else, he didn't want to eat spaghetti these kids had messed with using their sticky bare hands, and if they'd been able to tie it together it was either cold now or had been reheated quickly afterwards. Across the table, Panchito poked at it with a fork and shook his head, an affectionate smile on his face. Evidently, he was appreciating the effort Webby had put into this. "You know," he began, "I've heard there are some truly wonderful restaurants in Polignano a Mare, if you're looking for romance. Or just authentic Italian food. The view there is supposed to be breath-taking, and there's a strong history if you're into that. I have a bit of an interest in history and culture myself. I could take you there, or anywhere, really, if I had a photograph."

Gyro raised an eyebrow. "Wait, what?"

"Ah, well, that is..." He gave a somewhat sheepish smile. "When I said I could do magic, I did not mean just silly little stage tricks, though some of the tricks I can do work great for children's parties. A good picture can be a wonderful window to a whole other place, quite literally if you know how-"

"You could have gotten us out of here this whole time?!"

"Only with a picture big enough to fit through. Or a battering ram."

Webby once again popped her head out from her hiding place. "Wait, so if you had a photo of a really romantic location, you could go on a real romantic Italian date?"

"...A printed picture or a good painting also works."

The girl let out an excited squeal. "Gyro, is there an industrial sized printer in here?" Without waiting for an answer, she went skittering off to find something she could use to create a portal to the perfect date location. Panchito looked to the scientist, as if looking for confirmation that this was okay. Gyro heaved a sigh.

"They won't be able to spy on us like this, will they?"

"Well, we certainly won't have four sets of ears listening in on our every move, that's for sure."

"Good. If I have to go on a date, it should be just us."

It was over six months ago when I uploaded the sketch of Manny and I've finally finished the picture. I was going to do more with it, but I have less patience with my art now adays.

I'm hoping to post more in the future.

Huey: Oh come on! Fenton’s your loyal assistant, can’t you let him borrow your lab for one night?

Gyro: No! I absolutely refuse to help out!

Huey: Don’t you believe in love?

Gyro: No! I don’t think the intern will ever find love so why should let a couple of elementary school kids use MY lab?

Webby: Well then I guess you leave us no choice. {hits Gyro’s head with a sock filled with nickels}

Huey: WEBBY! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

Webby: He was never going to say “Yes” and it’s not like we have another lab we can borrow to pretend to be Fenton’s lab

Huey: But what about them!? {motions to Lil’ Bulb and Manny}

Webby: Hey so we’re setting up a romantic dinner for Fenton and we’re pretending that this lab is his, is that all right?

Lil’ Bulb: {gives a thumbs up}

Manny: {stomps hooves} “Yes”

Huey: Oh wow, with your guys’ help we’ll have this place set up in no time! And you two actually wanna help out?

Lil’ Bulb: {moves hands to talk} “Yeah, if I’m being honest Gyro and I haven’t been on the best terms lately so I’m using any opportunity I can get back at him. And honestly I think Fenton really needs to get laid”

Manny: {claps hooves} “I am SO SICK of him calling me, ‘Manny’! I have a name! It’s Goliath!! Learn Morse Code, genius! And yes, Fenton really needs to get laid”

Webby: I didn’t understand a single word you two just said but it looks like you’re both in! Now someone help me put Gyro’s body somewhere it won’t interrupt Fenton and Gandra’s 1st Date!

Lil’ Bulb & Manny: {grabs Gyro’s body which they drag over to the closet}

Webby: Oh wow, looks like you both got him!

Gyro: {slowly waking up as he is getting dragged} W-what?! Lil’ Bulb! Manny! I order you both t-

Lil’ Bulb & Manny: {throws Gyro into the closet and locks the door}

Webby: Well that takes care of that!

Huey: All right everyone, let’s turn this lab into the most romantic place in all of Duckburg!

Manny: {claps hooves} “I can play the accordion!”

[wacky-nameless-inventor-24]

Hi I came across a post of people being shitty about Daisy so y'know what actually time to talk about her character in the royalty au!!

-Works at Quackfaster's pub (tavern?)!

-It was originally Quackfaster's, Daisy started working there just to get by, and now they're coowners!

-They had a silly mentor/apprentice thing going for a while, and though now they're equals they still do carry a little bit of that dynamic.

-She does want to be a fashion designer, originally working at the pub was just a way to make ends meet but she's kind of been stuck there for a while now.

-Blue was actually Quackfaster's charge, but it's Daisy who does better at welcoming them and actually taking them in.

-She's only a few years older than them but she definitely does 'mom' them. She has a tendency to fuss over people's outfits (fashion designer) and ends up doing that to them a lot.

-Once Blue was more or less fired they hired Donald in their place, Daisy didn't really like him at first.

-She does eventually warm up to him and grows to like him and idk what I want to do with their relationship yet but if they do ever get to anything romantic it takes forever. Years.

-Daisy has wayyyyyy too much of a temper to be working at a pub full of drunk people, there's bar fights and I'd say about 30% of the time she does start them (Quackfaster starts a good number of them too. Lady brings a sword to work). If a drunk guy catcalls her she will punch him between the eyes and throw him out.

-Off-topic but they do! have a door guard, it's Manny! He's not going to be a headless man horse- I'm trying to come up with some other huge creature-like thing. I'm thinking something similar to a Minecraft Iron Golem, he's a statue-like thing that's there to stop fights, kick people out, and just overall protect the place (while Blue lives there he's good friends with them).

-She likes cooking! The pub mostly gives out drinks but she will prepare dinners every now and then when there's not too many customers.

-She does live at the pub, the second story/attic serves as a living space for her and Quackfaster. It's just one bedroom though, so when Blue lived there they slept behind the counter downstairs (they have a little back room area with a fireplace and stuff for the three of them to hang out, Blue wasnt just sleeping on the floor with the beer or something ssldkfj).

-This isn't something that's fully developed yet so idk if it's going to be canon but I'm thinking eventually Blue does get her connected with some people at the castle, and she does get funding to open her own dress shop! She's built up too much of a community at the pub to just leave it completely (and Quackfaster can't do it all on her own and Donald's just there to clean tables and dishes), so she does still work there in the evening and lives close.

-If that is a storyline I decide to go with she is extremely successful. She's out here living her dream now <3
