just a silly somethin i was working on for a change of pace :’D wanted to do more with it but I really don’t got the the time so this is all it’s gonna be
Since I got some more free time I figured it was the right time to try my hand at translation. I was mistaken. This is my first ever translation of a duck comic, so bare with me and if you found something weird with the translation or the phrasing I am all ears!
Thankfully I was able to recover all the scanlation from my old pc!!! All Hail the god of technology! (And our ever trusty blindfolded goddess)
Synopsis: While Gladstone is visiting, Ludwig Von Drake receive a unexpected Honorary Degree but things get complicated when the latter doesn’t know anything about the subject at hand.
Anonymous asked: Apart from the clover, what flower do you think best suit Gladstone? I think marigolds do him justice.
ohh, fun idea- yes I buy marigolds (I seem to recall they can stand for prophetic prediction and/or grief?), but I’d throw heather in there too (considered lucky, especially white heather), and you got to have narcissus or amaryllis for this silly vain boy surely… and maybe adonis would be fitting for the associated god and the meaning of sorrowful remembrance
Oh look. The Magicstone crossover literally no one asked for.
Look, when you give me “curly blonde hair x sleek black hair” Giorno and Bruno are gonna be my first thought every time so now all of you have to see this.
Anonymous asked: Do you ever wonder if Gladstone feels out of place in his family for being part goose? For being a Gander instead of a Duck?
I have headcanons for days about the Gander side of his family, which also feed into why he ended up being sent to his McDuck relative in Scotland rather than ending up with any of them after his parents passed. I won’t get into that too much (in case of future doodle comics) so let’s just say rather than making him feel excluded from the Duck family I imagine it makes him even more strongly defensive of his connection to them. Yes, he feels a bit out of place sometimes, (just as he does with any group- with his luck he’s always a fish out of water) but that insecurity means he needs and wants to be a part of the Duck clan even more badly!
I don’t think he’d feel bad or out of place about being part goose, especially with Gus being the same, I mostly mean the Gander connection is one he’s a little conflicted on. Despite that his surname is one of his remaining connections to his father, so I can’t imagine he’d change it. Basically being the stubborn and petty dude he is Gladstone never denies being a Gander, but identifies with and loves his Duck relatives much more than that part of his heritage, which is why he remains so loyal to them even if they have a lot of differences.
