Darkwing Duck Characters As Arcane Characters

Darkwing Duck Characters as Arcane Characters

*I only did a few because I couldn’t decide for other ones*

Nega-Gosalyn - Jinx/Powder: Jinx is a tragic character. Compared to her sister Vi, Jinx was not as physically strong and relied on more of her smarts.  But, people usually underestimated her and her ideas didnt work most of the time in her childhood except once that caused dire consequences. This tragedy caused her intense mental trauma and fear of being abandoned. 

Gosalyn - Violet: Vi is Jinx’s older and stronger sister. She is tough, rebellious and cares about her family. When she was young, her and Jinx’s parents died which made Vi want to help her little sister grow. Vi is also not afraid to fight and is great in hand-to-hand combat.

Darkwing- Vander: Vander took in and raised Vi and Jinx when they were kids. He’s also in charge of taking care of the under city where people considered lower class live. Vander loves both of the girls but bonds more with Violet since he taught her how to fight and is trying to teach her leadership. He used to be a stubborn person but has since mellowed down after adopting Jinx and Powder. 

Negaduck- Silco: Silco is an antagonist and lives in the under city but is mostly looking out for himself. He once trusted someone but was betrayed which changed his view of the world. After the tragedy, he took in Jinx and considered her as a daughter. She grew to be the only other person who mattered to him

Launchpad-Benzo: Benzo is Vander’s good friend and sidekick in helping him. He is a nice store owner who takes care of a kid named Ekko who is his assistant. 

Grayson- J. Gander: Grayson is head of the police force for the utopian city and sometimes the under city. She is fair and works with Vander to keep peace in both cities. 

Bonus:

Heimerdinger- Scrooge: Heimerdinger is an immortal man who has considerable power in the utopian city. He is against magic due to an unknown tragedy. 

OMG!

She looks amazing!

I’ve been feeling really bad mentally for the past few days, but this made me explode with happiness and almost tear up.

Having someone, whose content I really enjoy, take the time to draw something I created is a great feeling.

Thank you so much, @thezoe611

You captured her so well and I adore the headpiece you added!

Negaduck put his finger on the trigger, eyes zeroed in on Stellar's forehead. Stellar grinned. "I'm waiting." "Smug bastard," Morgana sneered. "Negaduck!" Gosalyn sounded desperate. She appeared on his other side of him, green eyes focused on his face. "Let's go." "He can't leave," Morgana argued, her harsh tone as she glanced at Gosalyn. "He needs to finish this. Here and now."

Nega-Morgana's design belongs to @criminalmutantsins , and I'm going to be honest, I wanted to draw your design for MONTHS but I never found the time nor the idea for the drawing, until a few days ago^^

What Are Your Unpopular TMNT Opinions?

Please respect other opinions. Thank you

I don’t love TMNT 2003.

Before watching this version, many fans said 2003 series was the best version. I didn’t have a lot of TMNT content to watch so I tried it(with some high expectations). I really liked it and had a fun time watching it, but I wouldn’t say it’s the best version- there isn’t a best version imo. I had some issues with it such as some intriguing moments from the show that wasn’t further explored like Leo’s first loss, and traumatic injuries from the Shredder and Donnie’s reaction of the alternative universe in Same As It Never Was. They were good but I needed more. Season 6 and 7 were not great and was tough to go through because of the sudden tone and art style change.

Though, it’s my second favorite version so far.

I like 2012 April.

I already made a post about this so I will shorten my explanation.

I have many reasons, but I’m going to say only two or three reasons since I don’t wanna bore you guys to death.

I don’t hate April because she is a victim of bad writing. TMNT 2012 has overall great writing, but there were some mistakes. Apritello is a big example.

When I ignore the bad moments, April is a really good character. Is she my favorite? No, but she had great potential.

Rise has one of the best family dynamics.

When I watch the show, I can tell that the Turtles love each other no matter what, which is a big thing in the fandom. I enjoyed their brotherly relationships since their was rarely an physical confrontation between them compared to how much 2012 Raph hits the other brothers. I don’t like hitting people, unless I need to protect myself, so I always felt a bit uncomfortable with all the hitting in TMNT 2012. I’m not saying TMNT 2012 had bad brother relationships, it’s my favorite because the raw moments the turtles had always warmed my heart. If it happened too often, the moments would have less of an impact.

I think TMNT 2003 went a bit downhill after season 4.

I feel like the storylines after season 4 were not as good. They focused mostly on mystical things, which is fine, but having so many versions of the Shredder was annoying for me. I know it might sound rude, but I think the show should have ended after season 4.

The 2003 Same As It Never Was storyline was not executed as greatly as it could be.

I feel so bad for critiquing the 2003 version since it looks like I don’t like the series. That’s not true, I really like the series and I applaud it for doing storylines like SAINW and Leo’s PTSD.

The reason why I don’t feel like SAINW didn’t live up to its full potential is because of the length of episodes it could have taken and how it didn’t seem to bother Donatello afterwards.

If SAINW was not added in the Ultimate Draco storyline, I think more episodes like an extra one would have been a better idea. The episode felt pretty rushed and I really wanted to learn more about the future like what happened to Casey, why Hun and Stockman betrayed Shredder, and the circumstances right before Future Donnie disappeared.

Leo’s storyline collided with Donnie’s potential character growth, which makes me upset. I adore Leo’s growth, but the other brothers had so much potential. Maybe some hints of Donnie’s fear of the future or the brothers being separated would have made up for it, but it didn’t happen. All the future Turtles’ deaths didn’t seem to affect Donnie like I thought it would.

2012 Fugitoid should have passed away.

I feel so bad for saying this, but for the better of the story, Fugitoid coming back to life was not a great choice. I love Honeycutt, but his sacrifice would have had a lot of impact on the reality of heroes dying. 2003 TMNT did this really well. Some good people died and it symbolized how dangerous and important it is to fight for what is right.

TMNT 2003 had too many characters, which ruined some development for more important ones.

I feel pretty bad for criticizing TMNT 2003 so much, but I still really like it. Every cartoon has its flaws and I’ve noticed more on TMNT 2003 since I’ve been binging it.

Anyway, the show has too many arcs and characters. Too much for any to gain development. Like the Rat King. I would’ve loved to see him more since he was so interesting. And the Monster from season 4. I was so upset when we didn’t get back to him. He deserved a happy ending, and his story would have been great development for Bishop, good or bad.

2012 Karai’s redemption arc was not handled that great.

To be honest, her arc was always a bit shaky to me. What surprised me most was how fast Karai’s mind was changed. All her life the Shredder was her father, but when almost once Splinter revealed the truth, she switched. I don’t think that would’ve happened so soon since, usually, kids that handle trauma like that kind of try to rationalize or try to make sense of it all. It would have been better if Karai was having this mental battle as she was working with the Shredder. She would be neutral though because she doesn’t want to hurt the Turtles and Splinter if what they said was true.

2012 Karai is overrated.

Don’t get me wrong, 2012 Karai is my favorite version, but she is not as developed as some people say.

Her arcs with finding the truth about everything and “curing” her of the mutation were not handled well, especially the latter. It took the last halves of season 2 and 3 to save her. Was I only one annoyed that the group looked for so long, only for the retro mutagen to not work? 😑

She’s on my list of wasted great characters along with April and Casey.

In the 2012 series, female characters are not as well written as male characters.

This is one of my complaints with the 2012 series. Most of the female characters were either reduced to love interests or severely sidelined. April and Karai are the biggest victims with this.

April had great potential to be a great character, but the love triangle ruined it. If they solved this plot line already, April’s character wouldn’t have suffered as much. Can’t determine if fans would like her more, but that’s my opinion.

With Karai, she was a love interest at first, but then this Splinter’s daughter plot line happened. Tbh, I think this decision was last minute because I hope to god the creators were not promoting brother/sister romantic relationships of any kind. Anyway, that story was going along until that wild goose chase trying to cure her from the mutation(which didn’t work). After that craziness, she was just sidelined and there was barely any Splinter/Karai moments(one of my biggest disappointments with the show). It would have been amazing to see her journey as the new Shredder, but I don’t blame the creators for that because they had a limited amount of episodes.

2012 April is not op.

Oof.. I’m gonna get so many disagrees on this. 😂

The reason I’m saying this is because of the and my definition of overpowered. Overpower: defeat with superior strength.

While rewatching the show, I looked closely through April’s fights, especially with her powers. Usually, overpowered people defeat supposedly stronger opponents without explanation.

April has rarely beaten someone stronger than her except once with TigerClaw, but with the Dragon’s Tail kick and a sneak attack, not her powers. She used her powers with the Shredder, Shini, Kavaxas, and many more enemies. She lost every time. The only time April won with her powers was against that evil Aeon and it was severely weak.

I would say April is not very close to the fighting level with the Turtles, especially with Raph and Leo. If they went full force on her, she would lose, even with her abilities.

2012 Leo has better characterization than 2003 Leo.

I really like 2003 Leo but he can be pretty bland. He only ever focused on training and meditation. He was also too perfect in some areas. However, S4 made him better in those areas.

With 2012 Leo, I like that he has more interests than training and has a reason why he wants to be the leader. He also messes up and doesn’t get the full swing of being the leader until half way through S2. For me, I think realistic character progression is very important for a show.

I like 2018 April’s design.

I admit, I was shocked when I learned that April’s race was changed, but I have no problems with it. There’s more diversity.

The only thing I don’t like about her design is her hairstyle. I don’t like the pigtails. Much preferred finale look with the high ponytail.

I’ve been binging the show “Worst Cooks in America” and I keep imagining Leo doing this show. Along with other TMNT fans, I headcanon Leo as a bad cook and watching him fumble in Worst Cooks would be so funny to see. Leo would definitely be competitive and get annoyed when losing since he’s so used to doing really well in training. But, that doesn’t mean he would not still be the sweet and awkward bean that he is. Contrary to his iconic blue mask, he would be on Team Rockin Red Stars with Anne Burrell.

Hi everyone! I decided to make my own oc and share it here. Her name is Beatriz Milagros. She’s a short spitfire who has a temper if someone messes with her or the people she cares about. Her favorite hobbies are dancing, eating(especially Julieta’s arepas), playing with her sister, and gazing at the stars. She longs to travel outside the Encanto and see the world. Ten year old her had a small crush on teenage Bruno that never seemed to go away. She’s one of the few friends Bruno had and never saw him and his visions as bad.

(I know I’m not the best artist but I did my best lol 😂)

Anyway, I hope you like Beatriz’s looks! 😁

Dolores Headcanon (Modern AU)

If she lived in the modern age, Dolores would like and relate to Taylor Swift and Adele’s songs, especially “You Belong With Me” and “Someone Like You”

Most people know Taylor Swift and Adele’s music are mostly about lost love and inner turmoil and I think Dolores would connect with them. We don’t know how long Dolores has had a crush on Mariano but I’m going to say for like a few years. “You Belong With Me” is about a girl pining after a guy who is with another and she thinks they don’t fit as a couple. This can pretty much be Dolores’ mindset on the engagement. “Someone Like You” is about woman mourning the loss of a love who is marrying another woman. Again, pretty similar to the engagement circumstances.

What do you guys think?
