Now that the show that Velma is officially over, here’s a list of animated shows that are for younger audiences which are ten times more mature than Velma

...I’m not kidding about those last two.
And the crazy thing is, I KNOW I’m missing a bunch...Feel free to add more for those who could use a pallet cleanser as well.
(Edit: Changed the title because people kept asking about it)

I think the worst bit for me about all Those Sorts (you know the type) of fics is that they always take Della extremely out of character in order to make her the 'antagonist.'
And that sucks because it's just not necessary! It's the worst because you can have Della & Louie angst where Della's the 'antagonist,' and it's in-character.
You just have to have Louie be wrong in the end (kind of).
The reason why Della and Louie clash in Timephoon and Glomtales! isn't because Della 'disapproves of scheming in entirety' or something, it's because she's done the same goddamn thing as him.
(And side note- Timephoon is honestly an amazing piece of storytelling, because it allows us to see Della's thought process for taking the Spear of Selene by showing us Louie doing pretty much the same thing.)
She's been through it all before, and she knows how it ends.
And that fucking terrifies her! The idea that one of her kids is making the same mistakes as her, could go through the same thing as she did, and she's the only one who can see it, is terrifying.
The way to start out a story like this is simple; have an adventure go wrong. Not in a deadly way, not in a way that's caused by Louie (at least, not that anyone but him notices), not in a way that costs anyone their life- but in a way that causes them to lose the treasure. The adventure is a failure, and they have to come back empty handed, like New Gods on the Block.
Maybe some people get hurt, maybe it's vaguely Louie's fault (and even then- it'd be better if it wasn't even his fault, it's just his brain connecting patterns where there aren't any), but the most important part is that they don't get the treasure, and it's like- one of those ones that can only be found once every hundred years or something.
Louie feels responsible (I mean all of the kids do, but as it'd be a Louie story he'd be the one focused on) and upset that they want to all that trouble and don't have anything to show for it, so he tries to figure out some way to go on the adventure again.
Turns out, after a bit of research, there is a way to get to the treasure again! Louie brings it to Scrooge's attention excitedly- but Scrooge turns it down. Says it's too dangerous, that they're not doing it, end of story.
...Not end of story- everyone's still obviously miserable. So Louie decides that 'okay, if it's 'too dangerous,' then I'll just go in secret. It'll be fine, Scrooge is just overreacting.'
So he starts trying to put a plan into place to get the treasure in secret- but Della, somehow, seems to know what he's doing (hint: it's because she knows what she'd do if she was in Louie's shoes). And is consistently getting in his way.
And there you go- a perfect setup to have Della consistently and purposefully stepping on Louie's toes, getting in his way, trying to stop him from doing things, and it's even in-character! It'd probably start out with the two acting like everything's perfectly hunky-dory, even though both of them know that the other knows that they know that the other knows why they did this one thing.
As plans get deeper, it'd escalate to Della trying to actively call Louie out, but he always manages to just barely weasel his way out of it, and eventually commence his plan.
It obviously goes wrong. But Della's there to help. And finally she'd actually explain why the fuck she's been something of a thorn in his side for the past few weeks, why it seems like she knows what he's thinking: because she does.
Because she's been through the same thing.
Because she fucked up, and left her stranded on the moon for ten years, and she does not want that for her kid. (And of course everything could've been solved if she'd just sat down and talked to Louie about that at the onset, but it's Della- she only likes to bring up the moon when it's funny. She would've thought 'nah it's fine, I can handle this, I don't need to bare my soul, I shouldn't burden anyone with that' without realizing that oh yeah, no, that's the exact same thought process she doesn't want Louie to think)
And of course they'd argue, because it'd be a high-stress situation and neither of them would have the composure to pretend that everything's alright and they haven't been sniping at each other for the past week or so, and eventually it'd finally come up; eventually, they'd finally bring up that they thought the exact same thing when Louie did this, when Louie took the Timetub, when Della took the Spear.
'...And if anything goes wrong, at least I'm the only one who'll get hurt.' (Because you cannot tell me that that was not the last thought running through both of their heads when they took the timetub/Spear of Selene, you cannot convince me that they didn't think they were doing right by their families in that moment, that they hadn't done their due diligence and minimized risk down to one person.)
And Louie wouldn't understand, because he did the right thing. He minimized risk, he made sure nobody else would get hurt. But that's wrong- because if he got hurt, then Della (Donald, Scrooge, their family, her kids) would get hurt too. That they could fly into a vacuum all they wanted, but at the end of the day, they still didn't exist in one.
Eventually, they'd get out of there and abandon the mission again. Maybe they'd succeed, but probably not. But that's not important- what'd be important is that they were both safe and alive and okay.
There- a Della & Louie thing, extremely angsty, well Della as the 'antagonist,' and it's all in-character. Easy.

I love how in most comics when Scrooge has some kind of beef with Magica, Beagle Boys or Rockerduck it's just silly goofy shenanigans and then there's Flinty whipping out guns, straight up threatening people with death and kidnapping children lmao

That's also why it's so strange to me that both Ducktales made him a regular day-to-day antagonist. Especially DT17. I mean look at him! Like sir this is a dangerous maniac. (love him though)
It'd be so cool to have a few episode buildup to an "oh shit it's Glomgold"moment, kinda like they did with Magica. But alas! 😞

I personally like to think that in this moment, when B.O.Y.D. is scanning Lena to make sure she’s okay, is when he realizes that she isn’t a “real person”, if you know what I mean.
Sure, he knew she possessed magic but he didn’t know she used to be Magica’s shadow. Since nobody thought it needed to be brought up, nobody told him.

As we know, DuckTales 2017 is FULL of clever, subtle parallels and callbacks to other episodes (not just to the 80s series, but within the reboot itself). Here's one I've never seen anyone talk about:
Compare this scene in season 2's 'Happy Birthday, Doofus Drake' where Doofus hacked poor Boyd and reprogrammed him to tie Louie up like a pinata and attack him-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-to this scene in the final episode of the series 'The Last Adventure':
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The scene in 'The Last Adventure' was the second time Boyd attended a birthday party and the second time he was involved in a pinata game. But it was the first time doing so while completely free of anyone else's reprogramming/hacking (enslavement, essentially). He was actually enjoying his life as a free person, just having fun like the real kid he wanted to be, alongside his true dad who loves him and wants the world for him.
Ever since Gyro finally gave him the validation Boyd desperately needed to hear from his creator's own mouth in the episode 'Astro B.O.Y.D.' ("You are not evil! You are good! You're more than your programming! You are a definitely real boy!"), allowing him to snap out of Akita's evil programming, he became truly free for the first time in his life with the ability to make his own choices, his systems completely free of all the other reprogramming others forced on him for their own selfish, ignorant purposes. He truly embraced what it was to be a real person- his own person- choosing his own identity (the 'real boy' programming Gyro himself created him with long ago, but Boyd still chose it for himself at the end of 'Astro B.O.Y.D.').
And that's why the parallel between these two scenes is so powerful.

Are we talking about the Papyrus now? Screw it, I’ll talk about the Papyrus now.
Back in 2022, I was involved in a conversation with some other people on Tumblr regarding the finale of DuckTales and the Papyrus of Binding, and I pitched sort of a “what if?” scenario that, in some ways, make the twist a bit more plausible (I’m not ignoring canon altogether, but just bear with me here. I repeat: This is not in complete ignorance of the actual twist we got, I was fine with it; this is pure speculation):
The whole reveal scene goes the same, but instead, Von Drake reveals that Webby is a clone of Beakley. Huey then asks how it would be possible that Webby was able to get the Papyrus if she wasn’t blood. Von Drake then explains a “non-blood heir” loophole.
In the finale, there already was a loophole to Bradford’s contract in regards to Scrooge having to choose between his family and adventure (since family is an adventure in and of itself), so realistically, there could also be a loophole worked into the Papyrus. In that instance, the show’s whole idea of found family would be strengthened all the more.
I feel like Webby’s interactions with Scrooge (and Beakley) after this scene could be easily tweaked to reflect all this. Just toss out all the parental references and go with sort of an affirmation of how just because Webby is not a blood relation to the family, it doesn’t mean she’s not part of it, and it sure doesn’t mean that she’s any less worthy of the Papyrus than any of Scrooge’s blood relatives. I mean, the girl freakin’ idolizes him! She is a born adventurer, even without the clone twist that we actually got.
