Anonymous asked: Uncle Mod, I've been on and off of tumblr for years, been through different interests, different blogs, different mind sets. But your blog has been one of those things I always remember and come back to. I just want to say thank you for being you. Have a good day! :D
oh gosh, thank you! I’m not very good at being anyone else so I’m glad if you like me being me, hope you have a good time too!
sorry to put these incredibly nsfw naked ducks on your dash but i’ve been noticing that some artists actually defy pantsless cartoon animal conventions and have them cover their top half under all circumstances instead of switching to covering their bottoms once their shirt is off and you know i can’t make an observation without making sure the whole world knows
variant 1: “so like there’s nothing technically inappropriate about a naked duck but you still ought to wear clothes to fit into this clothes-wearing society and since we know you guys have trouble wearing pants we’re gonna be nice and declare your chests inappropriate instead, keep those covered at all times”
variant 2: “so like… there’s nothing technically inappropriate about a naked duck… but you still ought to wear clothes to fit into this clothes-wearing society… man just imitate us as far as you can? just cover whatever’s convenient. just don’t be naked”
variant 3: “so like-” “i actually don’t give a single stone cold fuck”
Anonymous asked: Hey, I was thinking about that reverse-luck AU someone messaged you about, and it occurred to me that A) Gladstone would still be rootless, but here he'd be a straight-up philosophical hobo (drifting into town in his rags every so often to serenely upend everyone's perfect lives), and B) Donald may hate his luck, but unlike Gladstone would NEVER try to get rid of it, because he'd know it was providing for his boys better than he could unaided.
STOP THIS IS REALLY GOOD SAD STUFF YOU’RE GIVING ME
Webby isn’t quite sure what this all means. Somehow, though, she feels like he’s telling her something important. Like he understands the questions she’s asking. She tucks these words away, close to her heart, for a time when she’ll understand them. “I… see.”
He smiles. “I remember being your age… I was very lonely. Always looking for where I belonged.” He ashes his cigar. “There is no ‘where’. You don’t belong with places. You belong with people.”
Anonymous asked: uncle mod I wanna thank you bc I had a mini surge of Anxiety and Anger when someone responded very negatively to a piece of art I'd done in the tags like 'lol yeah who even likes this character' as if I didn't? and I was about to get really upset- but then I remembered the chill stuff you say and took a deep breath, made myself a cup of tea, had a piece of chocolate, came back and slam dunked that block option while smiling serenely about how my love is so much bigger than that person's hate >:)
GOOD FOR YOU ANON also yes the block option is always Quite a Gratifying Solution (also great idea with the chocolate there- get those endorphins, beat those dementors)
colorfulcipher asked: Oh man, I remember reading that comic a long time ago and it's so fricking sad? Gladstone is so happy when Gyro removes his luck he actually swears to never get it back again. When he applies for a job he uses a fake name, because nobody would employ "Gladstone, the luckiest duck in the world". He gets his luck back to save the girl he's going out with, and when she finds out he is Gladstone she leaves him because he lied to her. The ending just felt so unfair because he tried everything.
oh wow I didn’t know about the name change part, that makes it even worse/better! ouch.
also yes all of you being so shocked that I’m persistently trying to break your hearts with these ducks bear in mind that I’m just following in the footsteps of tradition here
