I watched one or two old episodes of NCIS nearly everyday. I adore Ducky. He is adorable in the show.
He was a heartthrob back in the day my grandma said years ago. My mum says it too.
My gran before she died made me watch stuff with him in it. Movies; A Night to Remember, The Great Escape. Then To Trap a Spy, The Spy Who Killed Me One Spy too Many, The Spy in the Green Hat + = which were Man from U.N.C.L.E. Films. Plus the tv show The Invisible Man and any NCIS he was in.
You lived a good long life, now it’s time to rest in the stars 🌠💫✨🌟⭐️😭
in ncis episode 2x13 The Meta Puzzle, kate asks gibbs what ducky looked like in his youth. gibbs responds "ilya kuryaki". ilya kuryaki is a fictional character from the 60's tv show The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and was protrated by a much younger David McCallum (Ducky's actor). its a small reference to David's prior acting roles.
this is totally random and irrelevant but i felt like sharing for funsies ♥️ especially with davids passing a couple months ago jsut felt the need to share it
I remember looking this up when I first watched that ep, such a sweet lil homage 🥺 Thank you for reminding me & sharing that with me 😭💗
David McCallum wasn’t what drew me to NCIS but I stayed for him and his charming voice, his stories, his smile and his warmth. He truly was everybody’s grandfather and I’m so sad to know he’s gone. Hope his legacy lives on forever.
He was a legend !
May he rest in peace.

Goodbye, Duck, I’ll miss your stories forever, you’ll always be my favorite.
Rain forcing Dew to watch mechanical keyboard YouTube videos, trying to explain his vision, and how he’d use his own custom blend of switches and keycaps because he wants the numbers and arrows to have the right amount of clack and thonk. And Dew’s eyes slowly start to cross when Rain shows him the custom coiled usb he ordered from Etsy. Dew drags him to bed where Rain continues to scroll mechanicalkeyboardtok for hours while Dew drools on his shoulder and snores in his ear. Dew wakes up with a snort when Rain shrieks about a 60% one handed set.

Episode Synopsis: As NCIS mourns the loss of Ducky, the agents find comfort in working on one of his unfinished cases involving a woman who’s father was dishonorable discharged from the Marines.
there’s something that’s So Very about how a lot of c!quackity’s self worth and self value comes from external appearances. from his personal appearance (see: “Flatty Patty”) to las nevadas to new l’manberg to fucking manberg, even, he was always the very picture of put together. he’s a professional(tm), can’t you tell? he has the suit, he has the tie, he has the smile- professional and sharp-toothed and empty. he has the power, can’t you tell? he’s powerful, he’s smart, he’s witty, he’s attractive-
(There is a scar on his face that he can’t stomach despite his fiances’ insistance that it looks fine, Quackity, it looks fine, and he can only see out of one eye now, and New L’Manberg is doomed to burn to the ground again at this rate, and Quackity looks at himself in the mirror, just down a life and still feeling the effects of it, and Quackity looks at himself in the mirror and promises himself for the millionth time that this will never happen again.)
and yet when you look beneath the surface, you realize that appearances can be deceiving. manberg was full of snakes (he was married to one.) tubbo can’t even look him in the eyes most days anymore, but that’s not too surprising considering what happened the last time they met up properly (ranboo jumped-). las nevadas is empty, a shell of a city populated by a man who won’t leave his dead friend’s side and the ghosts of promises he knew he couldn’t keep. there are two wedding bands in his desk drawer that he keeps trying to get rid of, and two engagement rings hanging on a chain around his neck.
