My Top 10 Favorite Ducktales Characters
…………………………………………………….
NO. 10 Hewey Duck
At number 10 is Huey!
Hewey has been my least favorite triplet for most of the series; it by no means he’s a bad character or any of the sorts, Huey is more down to earth compared to other characters. It’s hard to say much about Hewey other than how he’s a sweet, fun character I’m glad is around.
His development in season three was good, though the weakest of the three. Kinda half-baked and rushed, as if the creators thought, “we have to add some Huey development since this is his season.” With Dewey and Louie’s, it felt like their respective seasons revolved around them instead of the other way around. The only episode I really think perfectly gave Huey development and at the same time move the main plot forward fluidly was the “Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks!” with the whole Huey vs. Violet rivalry. Y’know what also sucks. Huey wasn’t even that integral to the finale. That annoys me to no end.
Now, I’m going to end this with positive notes.
What got Huey into the list was his sweet nature and how integral he is to the team’s balance. Every team needs someone who represents order and Huey is just that. Plus, his innocent love for romance is so cute. I love the episode where him and Webby were setting a date up for Fenton and Gandra.
NO. 9 Scrooge McDuck
Scrooge is probably the most interesting protagonist I’ve ever watched. Unlike most of them, he’s more of an anti-hero than a pure hero like Steven Universe or Luz from Owl House.
I don’t really have much to say about him because I don’t love him as much as the characters above him. He probably has the best development- Lena’s rivaling his really well. In the beginning, Scrooge was a grumpy miser but now, thanks to the kids, his heart is softer and more open. His cheapness is annoying, but the good qualities overthrow the bad.
Scrooge most likely would’ve been higher in the list if “The Life & Crimes of Scrooge McDuck” didn’t happen- or at least occurred in season two instead since humility and hard work was the main theme. The writers went overboard showing the audience how bad of a person Scrooge was in the past, especially with him taking advantage of the poor villagers and leaving them in their states-without even helping them. This episode downgraded Scrooge pretty badly.
NO. 8 Donald Duck
Although on the lower half of the list, I still hold so much love and respect for this version of Donald. He’s such a massive improvement from his previous iteration. The creators made him kind and strong-willed but kept his anger issues. Though, they turned that flaw into a more comedic and positive aspect of Donald since he uses that intense anger to protect his family. Speaking of that, his relationship with the triplets is absolutely adorable. He loves and protects them like a great father, and I’m still a bit peeved that characters didn’t acknowledge that more. Instead, their relationship was sidelined and pretty much haphazardly... replaced-I don’t know if that’s the right word- with May and June.
Another thing that annoyed me was Donald’s voice treatment. The creators pretty much portrayed his speaking problem as a joke, which is terrible. I hope to goodness that children with speaking troubles don’t take those “jokes” to heart because there is nothing wrong with having a different voice. It’s also surprising how much characters mostly don’t understand him when I can seventy percent of the time. This complaint is more towards season one since that was the season where most of the jokes happened.
Anyways, I hope this Donald will start a new beginning for the next iterations of him. A nice guy who has anger issues but means well. Same with him and Daisy’s relationship-another massive improvement the writers did. They are such a great couple from the episodes we got with them and this dynamic should continue.
NO. 7 Webby Vanderquack
Another character who was massively improved was the great Webby Vanderquack!
In the original series, she was a boring damsel-in-distress with no personality-pretty much like the earliest Disney princesses. The ‘17 creators did such a great job molding reboot Webby into a character who can kill you with kindness or impressive fighting skills. This pink-loving queen is probably the sweetest character I’ve ever met; I just want to hug her.
I love her optimism and caring personality. She was able to change Lena for the better and not give up on her when almost everyone did. Webby is the best friend you can have.
While I’m not fully on board with the Webby finale twist, I really liked how her interest in the McDucks played some big part of the finale. Do I wish it was in different circumstances? Yes, but I’m still glad Webby got an important moment for herself. That interrogation scene was very emotional; seeing Beakley fully breakdown like she did was shocking and really set the mood of how pivotal that moment. I literally almost cried seeing Webby so heartbroken by her grandmother’s lies- this pink baby deserves all the love in the world. At least she found out the truth and gained a parental figure in her life.
NO. 6 Louie Duck
I’ve gotta admit; I did not like Louie that much at the start of the show. Greedy and selfish characters usually don’t get my love, but season two changed. A lot more depth was added to him such as his insecurities and anxieties. I struggle with these issues and it was nice to see a character show that as well. One of my favorite arcs was Louie’s trouble connecting with Della; it was realistic and not rushed. While watching this season, I was often having trouble connecting with people, even old friends. Sort of having someone experiencing them alongside me made me feel less insecure and lonely.
His development was really good too, from beginning to end. At first, Louie was someone who was willing to execute every angle no matter how much it could hurt his loved ones. Yet, he grew to be a humbler person who now knows the consequences of his angles. A favorite episode of mine is “The Richest Duck in the World” because of this development. Seeing Louie clean the Bombei’s shoes with Scrooge made my heart melt.
What lowered him down to number eight was season three. There were a few episodes that backtracked Louie’s development like “The Trickening” and “The Fight for Castle McDuck” episodes. He was a real jerk towards Huey for no reason. It frustrated me enough to affect this list. And I also prefer other characters more.
NO. 5 Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera
You can’t expect me to not put this quirky and adorable dork in the top five! He’s one of the best boys in the show. Him being voiced by the great Lin-Manuel Miranda does add some bonus points- you can tell I’m a big Hamilton fan.
Like Webby, Fenton was drastically improved. He became this sweet, scatterbrained scientist who only wants to help people. I instantly fell in love with him. And it got even better when Fenton became Gizmoduck- my second favorite DT hero. He deserved so much more screen time, especially in season 3; “Beaks in the Shell” was not a good enough episode for Fenton and his relationship with Gandra. There should’ve been more. The finale moments he had was not satisfying enough, particularly him and DW sort of team up. It was rushed.
If a Darkwing Duck reboot takes place in the ’17 universe then Fenton must be a major character- at least show up in ten episodes a season. A Gizmoduck and Darkwing crossover is essential, and I will riot if it that doesn’t happen. And more Fandra, my fifth -maybe fourth- favorite ship.
I also had a big crush on Fenton back in season one. You can’t help but love him this sweety pie. This pretty much influenced thirty percent of his placement.
NO. 4 Launchpad McQuack
This muscular dummy is amazing! He brings a sense of comedy and light to every episode he is in. It’s infectious as h*ll!
I liked Launchpad instantly. He’s kind and wants the best for people. Optimistic characters are almost the best characters. They are great reminders of how there are still many good people in the world. Whenever I’m down and watch Ducktales, LP makes me feel a lot better with his dumb yet endearing moments. My favorite jokes are literally LP sending Beakley an invitation saying not to come and when he tried to make small talk with Gosalyn at the window; I can never stop laughing at those moments.
There are times when Launchpad’s dumbness irks me, but his good qualities overthrow that. Though, I wish he wasn’t used too much as comedy relief; LP had the potential to gain more development than what he got. I’ll give an example. Learning about his family would’ve been great to know- an appearance wouldn’t have hurt either. It could’ve opened a reason to why LP cares about Scrooge’s opinion and cares about him like a dad. Maybe there’s some bitterness in LP’s relationship with his dad and that’s why he doesn’t talk about his parents. Loopey not being introduced was a missed opportunity. Big brother Launchpad is all I need.
I also have a small crush on Launchpad, though mostly for his personality and voice. He’s still cute *wink.*
NO. 3 Drake Mallard
We made it to the top three! With the dashing caped crusader Darkwing Duck starting us off!
It’s funny how much I love a character who’s only appeared in like five-maybe six- episodes enough to put him in the top three. I had some trouble defining many reasons why I love him; it’s this weird connection I have with DW. He’s this dorky dummy who loved a big part of his childhood enough to make it his reality, yet I love him so much.
I think what made me fall in love with him was how similar we are. Like him, I was a meek person who got pushed a few times- either physically or mentally. Those times also inspired me to grow stronger and be an inspiration for the next generation. I can be pretty clumsy too(lol). Characters I see myself in are usually really high in my love list and it shouldn’t be surprising that Drake is one of them.
His kind and genuine nature was also what drew me in. And, I just made this realization, this is the first time I don’t prefer the original iteration over the latest one. I still love ‘91 Drake but he’s too arrogant.
Unlike the original DW, Drake became a hero to help others- though a wish for glory played a bit of a part too. This clumsy, stuttering actor took a step to become his hero and a future one for children like him. That’s admirable. His lovable personality also being so cute enough for me to want to give a big hug is a good addition.
NO. 2 Lena Sabrewing
Hands down Lena had the best development!
She started off as this distant loner who followed the gray area of morality. Now, Lena is a part of this loving family and her own person. A few of her episodes are my favorites, such as “Friendship Hates Magic!” and “A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill.” They are well-written episodes and hit me in the feels.
Like Louie and Drake, I see myself in Lena. There are times I’ve been afraid I’ll take on my family’s bad habits or turn like them. That’s why I love “A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!” Watching Lena try to be good enough and feeling insecure reminded me of the dark times I usually think about. There are even times I have dreams of these issues. The creators must have been inspired by me (lol). Though, I am kind of jealous of Lena because of how great her friends are. I want friends like Webby and Violet.
Even so, I do have some issues with Lena. Her magic arc was not written as well as her previous arcs. This might be more of a personal opinion than anything, but I’m still going to say it. Lena learned to control her magic too quickly, and it was treated as more like a plot device. And a shaking one at that. For example, in “The Split Sword of Swanstantine” Lena was able to stop time and send her and Huey into his mindscape. But, somehow, she couldn’t conjure a burst of energy to attack Steelbeak; granted, Huey mentioned that, yet Lena’s reasoning was dumb. Attacking someone with magic is way easier than doing what she did. I’m a little lenient on this since that idea lead to more Huey development, though I’m still going to critique it.
A great thing about Lena learning was her temporary outfit change. She looks absolutely amazing in light colors, which I didn’t expect, and her hair design is what I saw she would look good in. The eye shape is kind of weird.
Lena’s magic mode is in my list of cosplays.
NO. 1 Dewey Duck
Finally, number one is Dewey Duck!
Dewey has stolen my heart since the beginning. His positivity and fun nature always make me smile, even during the toughest times.
In my opinion, Dewey has the best arc/development of the triplets. His arc trying to find out what happened to his mother was what kept me watching Ducktales and helped me see why this show is so special. Many of my favorite moments are in season one, specifically ones involving Dewey. For instance, the scene in “The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!” where Dewey was willing to risk his life to get the last piece of paper and possibly solve what happened to Della was emotional. Hearing the desperation in his voice while pleading with Scrooge to tell him what happened hit me hard. I can’t imagine how much pain HDL have gone through not knowing what happened and thinking they aren’t allowed to ask. It would be terrible to experience.
Another moment I loved was in “The Spear of Selene.” It was when Dewey was hesitant to know what happened as the possibility that Della was a bad person grew more prominent. He looked so defeated admitting that realization and it reminded me of myself. There were moments when I realized that my parents were not as good as I thought. It hurt me a lot. At least sweet Dewey didn’t have to go through that. The scene when Dewey started tearing up seeing his mom in the sphere was also heartwarming. I wanted to give him the biggest hug.
Dewey’s insecurities of not being good enough and to be loved is what I struggle with too. Its kind of different because I have trouble believing anyone loves me while he wants everybody to like him. Confidence is not my forte.

Brooo Donald Duck basically raised his sister’s triplets after he thought she died for TEN YEARS like a single middle class mom with NO help (not even his rich uncle) and they never give him enough credit 😩
All while living on a boat lmao
Donald has now become one of my favorite characters because of this. I would say I'll be making fanart, but I may procrastinate. So I may just try. Trying sounds like less pressure on myself and I might as well just make fanart without any pressure. Gotta be nice to yourself, ya know? I don't really know exactly what I'm talking about. While my followers wait for possible fanart, I have a comic I made that I'm gonna post soon. It's not very long, but it's a vibe.
Edit. I did it. I made Donald Duck fanart. It may be the first time I've drawn Donald as far as I can remember.
:D
I got 1 task done today. I emptied the big trash can in my bedroom. That's one less fork to deal with.
I have severe executive dysfunction. I've been dealing with it by having myself do one small task a day. So far it's helped a lot. By doing it this way my brain doesn't freak out trying to tackle everything at once.
I got my inspiration for it from this Donald Duck comic:
Donald: Okay, time to work.
Next, Donald flirts with Pete all day. She pushes him against the wall, pulls him by his collar or tie, whispers all sorts of things in his ear (cute, vulgar, and both) and top him.
Donald: Okay, it's enough for today.
Pete, lying somewhere nearby with a completely red face, tattered clothes and fur, covered with kisses of purple lipstick: It was even better than fucking heaven.
I'm so normal about them, trust me.

Donald's Quacky Duck! Duck! Duck City! coasters from Tokyo Disneyland
In the Duck City
Scrooge: Whose idea was this?!
Daisy: In our defense, it should be a birthday present.
Scrooge: It's a terrible present, I have to tell you! It's like you don't know Donald! He's going to mess up and behave worse than Gladstone!
Gladstone: Hey!
Huey: If we hurry up and find Unca Donald, we can control his level of arrogance! *gets a graffiti of arrogance where the levels are divided into the arrogance of Gladstone, Scrooge, Louie, etc.*
Gladstone: Why am I at the highest level?!
Della: Shut up, Gladdy! Donald!! We coming!
After a while...
Dewey: I'm tired...
Louie: And I'm richer.
Somewhere in the distance, Mickey screamed.
Della: What the-?!
When they ran to Mickey, he was lying on a bench while Minnie and Goofy waved their fans at him.
Della: Again. What the-
Daisy: *silently points to a small castle-like house*

I like so much this screenshot of Donald and Daisy as mermaids 😭😭 !!!
I want you to be okay.
For @diogxnxs
It always hurt.
My heart is racing.
My head hurts.
What's going on?
It's too loud.
I don't want to be here. I don't like being here.
Don't like. Don't like. Don't like. Don't like. Don't...
— Shhh.. — Jose purred softly, gently hugging Donald, while the duck clung to him as if he were the only salvation.. — Vai ficar tudo bem, meu amor. Estou aqui, estou por perto... — soft words of comfort came from the beak of the green parrot, hoping that the former sailor would hear them.
It always hurt. It always hurt to see Donal like... this.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that Jose's heart itself is soft, like buttercream, but at... such moments... it seemed that Donald's fear was so strong that it hurt him.
It was such a dumb, such a crazy idea... Of course, they are three Caballeros, birds of one feather, best friends and musicians! They hadn't seen each other for so long and missed each other so much!
Panchito and Jose just add emotion to their long-awaited meeting! Well... They really did it. Just not the way it needed to be..
...
...
...
Donald was sincerely waiting for this moment...
he received a letter about the arrival of his partners and was on guard all day to seize the moment and not be taken by surprise.
Of course, it was unpleasant to be constantly stressed.. No, it wasn't stress. It was that playful feeling of excitement, a pleasant anticipation of danger and adventure!
So it was from that very moment of meeting..
In one moment, it just got too loud, there were too many sounds!
It's too much... Too much... Too much...
...
...
...
— Meu amor, meu amor, oh, meu amor... — Jose hummed softly, stroking Donald's trembling back. — I'm so sorry, meu amor... — He leaned closer to the duck and began to place gentle kisses on its snow-white feathers, this time in order to calm down, not to tease. — Espero que nos perdoe quando acordar... Oh, meu amor, a luz em minha vida, meu tesouro das profundezas do oceano...
Jose continued his caresses, resembling a cat. But not the proud and lazy cat that the street has taught life to. This is a homeless, pathetic and worthless cat who does his best to cuddle, purr and meow, in an attempt full of hope to get attention and forgiveness..
As he continued his gentle displays of affection, he failed to notice how Donald slowly regained consciousness.
Donald was slowly coming back to reality. He blinked diligently as his now clear mind tried to remember what had happened.
— Jose?... — he asked in a hoarse voice when he realized what and who was doing to his skin.
The parrot stopped and quickly raised his eyes to the duck.
— Donal... — he whispered softly, then suddenly rushed forward, hugging Donald. — Oh, Donal! I'm so glad you're okay!
The former sailor grunted in surprise when his boyfriend, unexpectedly for him, squeezed him tightly in a vice. His body gradually relaxed as the parrot's warmth warmed him, and wrapped his arms around him in response.
— How did I get into the bedroom? — he pulled back slightly, looking around his room, his hands still on Jose.
— Panchito brought you here..
Donald frowned slightly at his boyfriend's strange tone. When he turned his head back to him, Jose attacked him again, bursting into tears and covering the duck's face and neck with kisses.
— Oh, Donal! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!! — he desperately begged for forgiveness between kisses. — Oh, meu pobre amante! Eu e o Chito somos tão culpados na sua frente! Perdoe-nos, oh, nossa alegria, nossa musa!
Donald did not immediately respond to Jose's plaintive pleas, as his mind had not fully recovered.
He let out a sigh that looked a little like a giggle, hugged the parrot back and, seizing the moment, kissed him on the lips.
— Jose.. — He gently but firmly attracted his boyfriend's attention, looking into his tear-stained eyes. — I'm okay now.
The parrot shuddered slightly as the duck's beak gently placed a kiss on his forehead.
— Meu amor, no more jokes or surprises with loud noises. I promise, no, I swear! — He snuggled up to Donald again, shaking his beak against his neck. — Juro por cada parte do meu corpo e alma! Juro pela minha família!
Donald half sighed and half giggled again, leaning back against the pillows.
— I'd like to hear it from Panchito.
Jose stopped his caresses and raised himself slightly on his hands, smiling awkwardly.
— Bem... You'll have to wait, Donal.. — The parrot's smile became even more awkward and he looked away when Donald raised one eyebrow. — Seu tio... He was too pissed off..
— Okay, I get it. — Don cut Se off, immediately understanding what he meant. — Does he even have insurance?
— Not in America. — Joe chuckled softly as he lay down next to his boyfriend.
Finally, the silence in the room became not tense and frightening, but peaceful and relaxing, while the two birds hugged each other.
And somewhere around this time, a Mexican rooster is running around the city from an mad old duck.
Teen Huey in metal clothes: But grunca Scrooge!
Scrooge: I said no! And you too!
Emo teen Louie: What?!
Della: Oh, come on, Uncle Scrooge. Let the boys and girls wear whatever they want! Remember me as a child, who always ran away so as not to wear skirts or dresses!!
Scrooge, crossing his arms over his chest: Hmm! This is different! All these feminine things are really uncomfortable.
Della: Well... What about Donald's grunge?
Scrooge: Donald... Exactly! Donald! What do you think about it?
Donald: *flashbacks of his past, when he wore skirts and dresses in secret from his family, hiding behind a fake female identity*
Donald: *flashbacks about all the adventures he had, all the dancing and singing, how happy he was when he had the chance to be someone no one expects anything from.*
Donald, suppressing a stingy tear: Let them be who they want to be.
Della, noticing absolutely nothing: See?
Scrooge, who didn't notice either: Bah! Okay!
Fanfic for my birthday!
♡´･ᴗ･`♡
Pete liked to look at Donald.
He remembered it from his childhood.
He liked watching the yellow duckling enthusiastically quacking something, showing how to assemble various incomprehensible shit from cubes or some kind of figures.
He liked watching the duckling in the sailor suit smile cheerfully while they both played with the boats.
He liked watching a teenage grunge duck practice guitar, and when nothing worked out, he threw it aside, taking out his notebook to write or draw something.
He liked watching his comrade and the soldier smile brightly, tenderly quacking such kind words that saved him in any terrible situation... Even when the cat lost his leg..
And, in secret... Pete liked listening to Donald.
Listen to his voice, hear his words.. It wasn't just pleasant. It was fucking amazing.
Pete liked to look at Donald. And he likes to look at Donald.
— Pete? — Just like now. — How do I look?
Pete broke away from his thoughts, stopped staring at one point, and looked at Donald.
Donald was standing in front of the mirror, getting into some poses, examining his naked reflection, and trying to figure out if this bra was suitable for him.
A pale orange bra with white stripes and a bow between her breasts was sitting, Pete was ready to give his other leg, it was just fucking perfect on Donald. Especially the way the lace clung to the duck's feathers in the light of that damn old apartment (which they rent as a headquarters to receive orders for espionage missions without the risk of someone else reading them).
— Well? Why are you silent? — Donald wanted to turn to Pete, but he was stopped by two big hands on his shoulders. And the answer to the question was a kiss on his neck.
— You're fucking gorgeous. — Pete whispered into the duck's feathers, licking the spot where he had previously left his kiss.
Pete likes, loves, adores looking at Donald. Listen and hear. Feel him.
He doesn't know if he ever loved him before or when it started.
He knew he loved Peg, but they got divorced. He knew that he loved Trudy, but they broke up.
But does Pete love Donald right now? Yes. More life.
But will this love last until the grave? Or will they break up again sometime and remain friends-enemies, as they were before?
Pete doesn't know and doesn't care.
Right now, the most important thing is that they sleep together, hugging each other. And knowing full well that tomorrow there will definitely be a new adventure, a new danger, and they will definitely be together.
Scrooge, emotionally in the bottom of the well after Della's disappearance: I lost the girl who was like a daughter to me, and the one I once considered like a son will never forgive me for that.
Elvira, the woman who buried her husband, all her children and their respective partners: First time?
I have an AU where Della was found by Reginella and they both live happily ever after as married lesbians.
I love when comic writers make their own backstories for Donald by telling stories about his childhood and teen years, but this straight up makes me evil. I don't know what feels worse, the thought of an awesome character like Della being far away from her family for so long maybe not even meeting them ever again because of the decades she will spend there or the simple idea that Donald had a happy childhood with his parents and sister, but now they're all gone and he has no one but himself from these times. ouch</3
Duck Avenger: Hm...
Paperinika: Hey, Avenger, what on your min-...
Spider*: Go kill yourself or something stupid pirate. He's my enemy.
The Raider: Bo-hoo, cry-cry kitty cat. He's my bitch and I have the witnesses.
Duck Avenger: I can take them both or I can't...
Paperinika: ?!
What did the duck avenger really mean: *Can he beat them both at the same time or not*
___
Spider * — Pete's supervillain name is because of his four mechanical arms.
Pete: What. The. Fuck.
Donald: *fucked up is a huge blue Bible duck with lots of eyes, gold rings, arms and a pair of wings*
Goofy: He broke his staff and all his magic returned to his body.
Pete: ...
Pete: Hm...
Mickey: DON'T YOU THINK FUCK HIM!
Pete: Still...
Gladstone holding Storkules hand: AHA! I'm so much better than you that I stole your boyfriend, stupid Don! Now I'm dating him!
Donald: He's not my boyfriend. He's an autistic demigod that I help live in the real world, and he's like a little brother to me. Just like Fethry.
Gladstone: ...
Storkules "Hi, dear Donald": ...
Gladstone blushing: I'M GOING TO DATE HIM ANYWAY, GET IT?!
Donald: Okay, blondie. Happy for both of you.
Storkules: Bye, dear Donald! We love you!
Donald: Love you too. Bye girls.
On the family meeting...
Scrooge: Okay... I want to be honest. Next time, I won't come alone.
Matilda: Oooh~ With your Goldie-girl?~
Scrooge: ...
Scrooge: No. With my Gold-boyfriend.
Louie: I have boyfriend.
Gladstone: Actually... I have a girlfriend.
Fethry: I have a girlfriend AND boyfriend!
Della: HA! SIKE! I HAVE TWO GIRLFRIENDS!
Quackmore: Wow...
Quackmore turned to Donald: What's about you, Donnie? How much partners you have? Haha.
Donald, absolutely calm: Three boyfriends and two girlfriend.
｡.｡:∞♡*♥Happe (late) Valentine's Day!♥*♡∞:｡.｡
— Where is he? — A grunt resembling the soft roar of a tiger was heard.
Pete, the source of the sound, was standing at the entrance to the embankment, tapping his foot nervously. However, despite the malicious tone in which he uttered these words, Pete's face reflects other feelings. Something between nervousness and... panic.
In fact, the answer to your possible questions is obvious if you pay attention to the surroundings around you and the date on the calendar.
Valentine's Day.
And Pete has a date tonight.
But unfortunately, his valentine is late, which is very unnerving, annoying and scaring the cat.
He's wearing his best suit! White trousers and a jacket with a purple shirt are classics! He bought flowers and doesn't even smoke now, so as not to spoil the date with the stink of tobacco! SO WHY-
— Hey, Pete! — Pete's monologue was interrupted by the sound of a familiar quacking voice. — Sorry! I'm late. — his date.
Pete instantly turned to sound source and give his best smile.
— It's okay. Just next time... — but his words stuck in his throat as soon as he saw what he was wearing.
As you may have guessed, Pete's date is Donald Duck. He's wearing a purple shirt, fully buttoned up to his cheek, but beyond that... He's wearing a skirt! Black fitted knee-length skirt and shoes with a strap on the palm.
Pete's jaw dropped to the floor, his eyes widened, and his face turned bright red.
— I'll be damned... — he muttered without taking his shocked gaze off Donald.
Don giggled sheepishly, feeling awkward under the scrutiny of his date. His cheeks turned red and he looked away, removing his hands from behind his back.. along with the flowers?!
Pete blinked rapidly, coming to his senses, when a bouquet of bluebells, red carnations and white clover appeared in front of his face, surprisingly beautifully and harmoniously combined.
— For... For me?! — He pointed at himself uncertainly with his finger and his face turned redder when the duck in front of him nodded, still daring to look at him again.
The big cat felt his heart start beating faster. He cleared his throat and also took his hands off my back, also handing the bouquet to his new boyfriend.
Donald's eyes also widened in shock at the sight of roses, lavandas, and dandelions wrapped in newspaper, looking like a bouquet picked by a child.
Pete and Don exchanged bouquets in silence, quietly examining them.
— I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'll be damned. — A quiet grin escaped from the throat of the black cat, on whose lips played a warm and gentle smile. — You weren't lying when you said you worked as a florist. It's pretty... — He stopped talking when he turned and saw Donald's face.. — H-he-hey! What's wrong, duckie? — Pete nervously approached Donald, gently placing his hand on his shoulder, anxiously wondering what he had done wrong again.
But all his worries quickly disappeared, as did the kiss that Donald gave him.
— I'm fine, don't worry. — He said softly, comfortingly stroking the cat's cheek. — Just... — Duck paused, looking down, but then quickly looked up with a smile. — No one has ever given me flowers! — he laughed a little, then gave Pete a sincere and noble look. — Thank you. Really.
Pete stared blankly at Donald, barely able to process his words and the sudden kiss. He coughed into his fist before looking away in embarrassment, rubbing his neck.
— N-no prob, Don! — he laughed nervously and stupidly, eliciting a cheerful smile from his partner.
Gradually, the big cat's laughter subsided, and his gaze became more sincere.
— You know... — He began slowly, while his eyes were directed at the flowers, as if there was something interesting in them. — No one has ever given me flowers either.. — Pete chuckled slightly, shifting his gaze to Don, looking at him with sincerity and love. — Thank you too.
Pete and Donald just stared at each other for a while, like two lovesick teenage goofs who are on a date for the first time.
As a result, they silently took each other by the hand and headed to the embankment, thinking among themselves what would happen next, clutching the bouquets presented by their lovers...~
Minishot for DonPete!
It's an ordinary evening at the House of Mouse.
The whole team was standing at the reception desk, on their long-awaited half-hour break. Well... More precisely, almost the whole team.
— Hey, what's the big idea?! — A familiar sullen and irritated quacking voice rang out.
Tired, Mickey perked up almost instantly and hurried to his friend.
— Donald, I'm so happy to see you! — Mouse reached out his arms to Donald to hug him, but stopped. Slowly, his eyes widened in shock.
Donald looked at his friends irritably with his hands on his hips, like an angry mom. But it wasn't his friend's angry expression that confused Mickey, not even his grove shirt, but... Hair?
— I hope you didn't call me back from vacation because you missed me. — Donald grumbled and walked closer to the group, crossing his arms over his chest. Noticing the strange looks of his friends, he lifted one, puzzled and indignant. — What?
— Squeak! — Mickey shuddered and swallowed quickly, coming to his senses. — Oh, nothing, it's just... — He started gesticulating strangely, trying to find the words so as not to offend Donald.
— Do you have hair? — ... But Goofy beat him to it..
Donald's eyes widened at the question, but then he frowned, crossing his arms over his chest.
— Of course I am! — He growled irritably, looking sternly at Goofy. — Did you think I was bald?
— Yes, actually! — Goofy nodded confidently while Daisy facepalmed.
Minnie took a deep breath to stifle her laughter and put her hand on the shoulder of the boiling duck.
— Calm down, Donny, Goofy just isn't used to what you have... Hairstyle. — She smiled reassuringly and a little awkwardly. — We all, actually...
Donald slowly calmed down from his girl friend's touch and her words and nodded.
— That's so..
— By the way, what's the point? — Daisy suddenly asked. She leaned forward, crossing her arms and leaning on the counter, one eyebrow raised in interest. — I mean, it's just impossible to grow hair that long in three days.
— Oh, yeah. — Donald nodded, twirling a lock of his curly and blond hair around his finger. — I asked Gyro to buy me shampoo, and he inadvertently gave me his invention, a shampoo for growing hair. And in the end, it worked.
All the friends nodded, accepting the explanation, knowing all too well that it was true.
— Can I touch your hair? They look so soft! — Minnie asked.
— Why, of course. — Donald shrugged his shoulders and almost immediately the mouse grabbed the duck's hair.. In a good way, she started feeling and stroking them.
Daisy rested her chin on her palm, watching the tenderness of her friend and ex and chuckled.
— You know.. I thought your hair would be straight, not curly. — She got a puzzled look from Donald with her comment.
Donald snorted and rolled his eyes at Daisy's comment and slapped Mickey's hand, forbidding him to touch his hair.
— You've seen my mom, Daisy, on the contrary, you should expect my hair to be curly. — He crossed his arms over his chest, looking critically at his ex.
Their bickering would have continued, but they were interrupted by new acquaintances..
— Well, well, well!~ — With a whist and a teasing greeting, none other than everyone's favorite (gay) Mortimer entered the club's doors! — I received a message about my dear friends' little problems and couldn't help but come.. And see! — he burst into laughter, which sounded comical because of his sibilance.
Pete came in behind him and grinned dirty, looking at the five friends. However, his smile faded when he noticed Donald. His ears drooped slightly, and his eyes stared at the duck, absorbing every detail without taking their eyes off for a second.
His target shifted uncomfortably and turned around, looking at the cat with a puzzled expression.
— What? — Don grunted rudely, feeling himself... a little embarrassed under Pete's gaze.
— You pretty. — Pete said bluntly, without hesitation and without taking his eyes off the duck, unconsciously attracting the attention of the others.
Donald was startled to hear these words. His eyes widened in surprise as a bright blush began to fill his cheeks.
— You... — Duck swallowed and looked down at the floor, tugging at the end of a lock of his hair. — Really think so?..
Pete nodded confidently. All this time, he did not take his eyes off the former sailor, practically devouring him with his eyes.
— Yeah.. Yes. — He nodded several times, confirming his words. — You like... The most beautiful mermaid what can be live...
Donald's eyes widened again upon hearing these words. He raised his head to meet Pete's gaze.
— Yeah? — He asked uncertainly, feeling his face start to burn brighter. After receiving another nod, Duck smiled gently and giggled. — Why, thank you... — He rubbed his neck in embarrassment, keeping eye contact with the big cat. — It's... The nicest thing so... You ever told me...
Donald coughed into his fist and still looked away.
— So... Anyway.. — He closed his eyes and opened them again, looking at Pete again, who continued to stare at the duck as if he was something beautiful — Thank you. I'm serious.
A slow smile began to grow on Pete's lips. Uncharacteristic of him.. gentle. As well as the soft look in his eyes.
— I just told the truth, don't take it too personally. — he shrugged casually, grinning with amusement. — Just warn me next time, or the shock will make me too cute. I need to keep my reputation. — A hoarse laugh came from the cat's throat as he pointed a finger pistol at Don.
The duck himself giggled and rolled his eyes. His usual cocky and confident expression appeared on his face. However, he didn't have time to reply..
— No! — Mickey's loud and hysterical scream rang out abruptly. Mouse quickly grabbed Donald and dragged him into the depths of the club at arm's length. — Nah-ah!
Pete remained standing while his mind slowly caught up with the unexpected scenario twist.
The remaining friends were also perplexed, but they quickly followed the suddenly flashing mouse anyway, leaving Mortimer and Pete alone with each other.
— Well.. — Mortimer mumbled, giving up trying to understand his opponent's sudden outburst. He crossed his arms over his chest, glaring at Pete, raising one eyebrow. — I didn't know that you and Donald could not try to break each other up for more than... five minutes.
Pete chuckled, taking out another cigarette and lighting it.
— Well, you know what they say? My best friend is my sworn enemy. — he took a step back, ceasing to be a support for the rat, which caused it to fall to the floor with a squeak.
I fricking colored it. (I didn’t want to make Uno just have white hair, so I made it seem more like he dyed his bangs lol)
Anyway, enjoy!
