Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

Anonymous asked: question! if Gladstone's birthday is the same as his mother's (the 15th of August) do you think they had the same personality bc of their horoscope? I always saw Daphne as being more drifty and harmonious and sweet, rather than the slightly showoffy stand-out type like Gladstone

good question! I don’t really subscribe to horoscopes, but I think in the duck comics they’re kind of accepted as a sub-branch of magic (and Gladstone has successful read his accurately in canon stories) so it probably sticks. I think while they have the same Sun sign (Leo), they would have two different Moon signs- if we take Gladstone’s year to be 1947 (the year we believe he was invented, if not first published) his moon sign would also be Leo, which fits with the centre-of-attention needs-to-be-loved showoff type that he is. If we guess that Daphne was in her twenties when he was hatched I would guess her moon sign would be Libra (eg. 1923), which is all about balance and communication. Alternatively she could be a Pisces (1927), which fits the kind of loopy dreamy easy-going vibe we get from the fragments of story she has…

but this is all kind of getting way deeper than we need to and years are never ever specific in the duck comics bc what is immortality :Tb 

while we’re here though I have this headcanon that Daphne and Goostave fell in love because he was this solid, dependable, funny-because-he’s-so-serious kind of guy with a repressed sense of humour and strict upbringing, and she’s this floaty charming giggly fun dreamer brought up by the best most open minded mom ever (aka Grandma Duck) and they found they balanced out and gave each other the stability/freedom match they needed.
