Description "United" (or prompt 29 - gosh, I'm really finishing this challenge! Who would have thought?), perfect for the moment taking place in the orphanage, which was never seen "on camera": when Gosalyn finally ends up in his arms by the end of the pilot episode. See... what I like most about DW is not that he's a hero, it's that he's a dad. And most of all, that he consciously chose Gosalyn, who's surely not an easy child, to be his daughter. And she never questioned him being her dad. Yeah, I know... sounds a bit like science fiction, but I love it anyway.

Also, I'm getting overly excited about the fact that Jim Cummings is returning as the voice of DW in the 'Duck Tales'-reboot (Thanks to for this confirmation!). What a great time to be a DW-fan, folks!

I know. Those two don't always agree, but you can tell they adore each other so much. That adorable dynamic in itself is part of what drew me into this series, which I'min the process of watching now.

All the cuteness! Him being a dad really is what makes him so lovable, and he definitely would not be the same hero without her! They for sure needed each other
YES WE ARE TOTALLY GETTING JIM BACK THOUGH! It would have been such sacrilege if he didn't play DW again! I'm so ridiculously excited to hear Darkwing speak again! I missed his self narrating and excessive use of the same letter in one sentence x)

SplatterPhoenix In reply to LadyAriaa [2017-11-16 21:34:00 +0000 UTC]

I NEVER thought we would get Mr. Cummings as DW again. Never. I was convinced they would pick a younger, hipper, more well-known actor for that job. And I'm so glad they didn't. Having a new LP is one thing (and even that hurts a bit, because I love Terry McGovern's soulful voice), but having a new DW would be too much to bear. I'm old-fashioned that way, you know.

LadyAriaa In reply to SplatterPhoenix [2017-12-06 03:43:22 +0000 UTC]

I definitely had high hopes since Jim is still fairly active as a voice actor, but I was admittedly worried about it since a new Darkwing would have been the hardest for me to adjust to. Launchpad is pretty much the one sore spot for me in the new Ducktales. I try to adjust, but I just really don't like his new voice, and honestly so far he's a bit too dumb for me. I mean, he's supposed to be adorably ignorant but unnnnngh I'm struggling with him. Other than that I love the show XD At least I anticipate DW to be pretty similar to his old persona considering Jim is still going to be playing him. After all, who knows DW better than him? x)

Err..uhmm..too..much...sap...fluff..cute...my brain..melting...resolve...wai- wait-wait, Jim Cumings returns for the DW reboot? Screw the design, if it's Jim himself, it's worth bearing it, just to hear him say "Let's get dangerous" again!

Yes! Good news, eh? I cannot wait for his first "Let's get dangerous!". I swear, I'll faint right on the spot.

Yes, we ARE getting Jim Cummings to voice Darkwing in the Duck Tales reboot! While new voices for other characters such as Scrooge and Webby are fine, Cummings basically WAS Darkwing Duck, and I wouldn't want anyone else to voice him.
This part of the pilot episode where Gosalyn realizes that her visitor is none other than the masked hero she thought she lost forever is heartwarming--especially once she hears his voice and he makes a pretend mask with his arms to show her who he actually is. So cute.
 These two were meant for one another--to the point where as a child I never realized Gosalyn was actually an adopted daughter.

I loved the scene so much in which the bandages fall down from his forehead and she realises it's him. *sighs* That was actually one of my first proper DW-artworks:   Drawn in 2006!

Wunderschön gemacht

Danke Dir! Nein, leider weiß ich das noch nicht so genau, wahrscheinlich wird's in der 2. Staffel sein. Gosalyn kommt wahrscheinlich gar nicht vor (was aber für mich okay ist, da Christine Cavanaugh sie eh nicht mehr synchronisieren kann...  ), dafür aber auf jeden Fall Quackerjack (samt Originalstimme!) und wahrscheinlich auch Megavolt. Wir werden sehen.

What a sweet follow-up to your last picture! Instead of his arms out to scramble and grab an edge, they're out to grab the most important person in his life. I really love how this is pre-hug/tackle, and how in Drake's face you can see a smidgen of worry. She's going to make his life... interesting, for sure, but he wouldn't be a hero if he didn't want a challenge and of course Gosalyn's big surprised smile just warms my heart.

SplatterPhoenix In reply to steamboat-promises [2017-11-16 21:31:25 +0000 UTC]

He's worried, I'm sure about it. Not knowing if he can live up to expectations as a dad or if he can juggle both his crimefighting and raising a child. But you're right, that's what makes him a true hero. Doing it anyway and adopting the little tyke so that both won't be alone anymore.
