Happy birthday, Gyro Gearloose, once again!

Yes, although his birthday is in the month of May, he still officially appeared on August 23, 1951, when Carl Barks was writing the comic "Gladstone's Terrible Secret". Yes, Gyro Gearloose, the legendary inventor and one of Donald Duck's best friends, has appeared. I certainly wish him a happy birthday. All in all, what will remain is the copied text from my post from May. Here is the link for it: https://ducklooney.tumblr.com/post/683425180187557888/happy-70th-birthday-gyro-gearloose

"Although belatedly, this post should be published on the occasion of Gyro’s jubilee, his 70th birthday or the 70th anniversary of his first appearance. Yes, Gyro Gearloose is one of my favorite fictional inventors as well as one of my favorite characters in Duckverse in general. Of course, that character was invented by the legendary Carl Barks. Although the date is a bit unknown, due to the publication of the comic (I heard that it was in April 1952, not in May), it still remains that its beginning is certainly related to the comic “Gladstone’s Terrible Secret” which was created on August 23, 1951 published in April and May 1952, respectively, and in which Gyro Gearloose appears for the first time. And 70 years have passed since then. Gyro, who likes to fix things and invent new inventions and help people, is sometimes a nightmare when he has had enough of everything, but he is certainly a pleasant man, that is, a rooster (chicken). There is also Gyro’s faithful little friend, Little Helper, a walking light bulb who constantly helps Gyro.

Certainly, he became Donald’s best friend and credited with the creation of Duck Avenger, as well as working for Scrooge McDuck, although Scrooge paid him poorly (even with peanuts). All in all, Gyro has a phenomenal family as well as great inventions, although sometimes it goes according to a bad plan. Yes, Ludwig von Drake and Gyro Gearloose are not the same, although they invent new inventions. Most of the time, Ludwig is more of a consultant in comics, while Gyro is in charge of repairs and inventions. Yes, in 1965, his nephew Newton also appears and he will be the best friend of Huey, Dewey and Louie. Although he is naughty, he still benefits his friends as well as his uncle.

Gyro appears frequently in comics around the world, while in animation he first appears in the special Sport Goofy in Soccermania, first as a cameo character, then in OG Ducktales he appears as one of the main characters. He certainly helps everyone he can, and is especially close to Donald and his nephews, as well as Donald’s cousin Fethry Duck. Gyro has had encounters with several girls he is in love with, as well as being a rival to his opponents like Emil Eagle or his evil ego Mad Ducktor. Certainly, Donald Duck’s comics wouldn’t be the same without Gyro and I want him to appear more often.

As every time, this time I will present pictures of Gyro Gearloose from his first appearance until today, shown in various media, in comics, cartoons (both versions of Ducktales), video games and other things.

If you like Gyro Gearloose or his family members, regardless of any version, feel free to like and reblog this. Once again, happy 70th birthday to you, Gyro Gearloose!"

✮ FAQ ✮

hi, it's amy!! i did not expect this kind of reaction and there's a lot of questions-- so much more than i expected--which has made me very happy. i've mostly left them on a rolling queue so if your question hasn't been answered yet, it's coming i haven't ignored you :)

there's been a lot of repeat questions about some things so this is just a quick FAQ to clear things up and not clog the dash with the same answers.

CONTENT WARNINGS?

This post is spoilery, but content warnings for the game here.

Will we able to choose X, Y, and Z?

Pertaining to the band, I will make it type-in and customizable as much as possible. Right now you can:

Choose your band's name.

their genre

the name of your song and the theme (as of right now, the theme will be choice-based so i can have the variables and write accordingly)

whether your band has a unifying 'aesthetic' or you guys all wear whatever you want on stage

you'll be able to occasionally write lyrics, it'll be a combination of typing in and 'filling the blanks' and if your MC is co-songwriting, it'll also be choices

your band's approach to their image, whether they're underground or mainstream, kid-friendly or 'devil music' according to parents (lol)

and more. i really want infamous to be as customizable as possible.

Pertaining to your MC:

the usual stuff is customizable: (name/surname, appearance, height, pronouns, gender identity etc)

personality and public image is up to you. customize whether you're controversial, whether you have strong stage presence, whether you're a fame/money hungry social climber or a passionate ~artist~ etc etc.

The things that are set with your MC:

their age is set. where your MC was born and raised up until middle school will be headcannon, but they are American. The state in which you grew up after that will be headcannon. no matter what, you grew up with seven and you met your bandmates freshman year of high school.

your MC idolizes G and Misfit Alley. They will think and feel like a fan, at least in the beginning, and that can't be changed. Of course, whether you maintain a cool face or go crazy and act like a fan is up to you.

your MC cares about Seven. They were your best friend since you were 11, so it makes sense. Of course, you can choose whether your MC wants to mend the relationship or is just as angry, and even if your MC has accepted Seven is their past and they need to move on, but Seven isn't someone MC just doesn't give a fuck about. it wouldn't make sense.

Do we have to engage in an affair to romance G or Victoria?

Yes.

MC is a doormat/loser/isn't as talented as everyone else!!

You're wrong.

I will not be answering about this anymore.

Read.

What is a sub-romance?

It’s the same as a romance except your decisions do not influence how it ends and it is controlled by the narrative. I have full control on whether the romance succeeds or fails based on what the narrative requires.

Do we have to [insert anything about Seven]?

Lol, these are prob the most frequently asked questions but you do not have to hate Seven the way they hate you. there's going to be a variety of approaches toward seven.

but they will hate you no matter what! at least in the start of the route.

you can

be former friends and then reconcile as lovers

be former friends and reconcile as friends

be former lovers and reconcile as friends

be former lovers and reconcile as lovers

be former lovers/friends and not reconcile at all

Why are they like this? Why can't they be like [this]?

Yes, I have gotten this question already 😭 i really want to be clear that these characters aren't completely moral people. they will do problematic things (obviously not bigoted things, dw) they will fuck up, they will be toxic, they will probably (emotionally) lash out at MC sometimes (and MC can do so in return). i just want to make it clear now so i don't surprise anyone when the story gets more plot heavy.

they will also engage sexual acts, do drugs, drink, party, do terrible shit yk...

that's showbiz, baby !

Do we have to engage in [insert sexual or immoral behavior here]?

Nope.

Attitude wise, your MC can theoretically be a pure glittery unicorn who has never had a mean or immoral thought in their life.

Is NSFW allowed?

Yes.

Can I call August [insert gendered term here]?

Nope!

Do we have to have a crush on Orion?

No.

Do we have to romance anyone at all?

While this is a romance-centered story, I'm going to insert a non-romance platonic play-through for people who just want to play with the fame parts. Soo no.

Can we be friends with Soft Violence?

Yep, you can befriend the members of Soft Violence.

Seven and Avina.

I won't be answering questions in terms of Savina and Avina's relationship as that is spoilery. But I will say that Seven is an RO and the MC is the main character. No false advertising here :)

So we can end up with Seven?

Yes.

Do we have to?

No. You can end the story hating or ignoring Seven.

Can we romance multiple ROs?

Yes, but there will be a point where you can only romance one RO outside of the G-Vic-MC poly.

Can we romance G and V individually?

Yes.

Can we romance Rowan?

As of right now, no plans for that!

Does every route have angst?

Yes. August has the least.

Can we write songs about the ROs/will it be acknowledged?

Yes and yes.

Subromances?

Dakota, Blake (you meet in the prologue) and E (you meet in chapter 2) are sub-romances.

There’s (possibly) one more.

Be warned: sub-romances are at the mercy of my writing.

Who the f**k is Dakota?

Spoilery!

Will you be having a plan for the next update?

As of right now, it's a release-when-done deal. Maybe if my life is more organized I'll actually have plans set lol! I'll try to keep things updated as much as I can.

Can you add [customizable thing]?

You can suggest it but I can't guarantee it will be added!

Does choosing a bus lock you out of Seven's romance/stay for the whole game?

The bus you choose stays the same the entire story and no, it does not lock you out of a Seven romance. Really you'll just miss some 'bus exclusive' scenes.

Can we draw the characters or imagine them differently?

Do as you wish and imagine them as you wish! So as long as you do not whitewash them.

Can we write fanfiction?

Sure! I just won’t reblog or interact in order to protect myself!

Twine?

In the future and if I ever learn to code twine.

You don't answer my questions.

Sorry. I don't mean to ignore your ask. Or it's spoilery and I can't! Sometimes I also miss mentions. I try my best to see them all!

This is problematic for me.

That is the point. I will not be sanitizing Infamous. Apologies in advance!!! 🙏

I don't like [this].

Don't read it :)

[Suggestion]

I listen to them all! Doesn’t mean I’ll add them though :)

[Music Rec]

Even if I don’t reply, I do see it and add it into a queue to add it to the Infamous master playlist! I love song recs!

[Any praise or kind words or jokes]

i am so grateful and even if i do not reply (to avoid spamming), i read it all ! (and giggle to myself)

Do not:

request things rudely please. I take into consideration all requests if they are said politely. It doesn’t hurt to be kind :)

whitewash my characters of color

follow or engage in infamous if you are under 18 ! <3

✮✮

thats all i can think of now, but i know there's more i just haven't noted them. if there's any more i'll make sure to add it here, if you guys have any questions that weren't answered pls send them my way and thanks again for your interest!

It was revealed that Luz Noceda was Mormon in the newest episode of The Owl House, and everyone in the fandom either got really really angry and started boycotting, or was super excited and a swarm of fanart was made of Mormon Luz with things like CTR rings and Bibles and stuff.
