Other stuff in the Valentine's chibi short that deserves attention

DELLA AND PENUMBRA FROM DUCKTALES

PERRY AND DOOFENSHMIRTZ

Only the cool boys will remember her :) What if in Ducktales 2017 we got her...

Not to Duck post on main, but totally to Duck post on main

It’s always rubbed me the wrong way that after her coming out as a lesbian, penumbra (from Ducktales 2017), never makes another major reappearance in the series.

This past Valentine’s Day Disney aired a new episode of its chibiverse series…

Penumbra from Ducktales 2017 is now CANONICALLY in a relationship with Della Duck, who for the uninitiated is Donald’s sister and the mother of Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

THIS. IS. HUGE.

I know the Ducktales fandom at least is a bit dead but I’m shocked more people aren’t talking about this.

Everyone's going crazy about Willow kissing Hunter in the newest Chibiverse short but nobody is talking about DELLA AND PENUMBRA HOLDING HANDS

Hey Della, what do you think of the backgrounds of the latest chibi episode?

Oh! Uh... *blushes* It waaaaas.... Something! Heh...

I wonder if della would let penny have a phone? As it is a way of communication! Probably not though,and or it has a million cracks and is glitchy asf

Della definitely had to explain how to work it and why not to break it a couple of times

So, how do you think Lena's aging works? On one hand, Frank Angones said on his blog that Lena's only about a year older than Webby (and there's no way Webby is 14) but Shadow War claims Lena was created 15 years before that episode. My take is that Lena was stuck physically being 12-13 (which could work as being a year older than Webby in a physical sense if you see Webby as 11 when the show began) and only began aging naturally when brought back to life in Friendship Hates Magic. Your take?

This is an interesting philosophical question when it comes to characters like these in sci fi and fantasy in general. On the one hand we have Lena who was made fully formed at a specific age but other than a few choice memories given to her from Magica so Lena can function convincingly as a person, is she really the age she looks or does she become that age after living that long? We know that she wondered around and had experiences (one of which being her going to and taking a punk rock band leader’s shirt which she’s wearing) so are these new experiences unique to her as her own person separate from the memories implanted in her mind at creation or just something to help sell her story to others? It could be possible that she remained forever young due to Magica’s spell and that now that Lena has her own magic and is severed from Magica that Lena could start to age naturally if she hasn’t already done so by reaching past the age she was created at (I.e. if she’s 15 biological but has only lived for 13 years then she’d start aging in 2 more years as an example). Lena being made 15 years ago would be a little bit before Beakley found and adopted Webby so in a technical sense if we go off of learned experiences then they’re not far behind in terms of an age gap, while Lena had a head start in that she didn’t have to go from being a baby to toddler to kid to tween to teen, she still had to learn about the world that wasn’t from what her creator already gave her knowledge of. She and Webby are kind of a mutation of the “Born Yesterday” trope but just barely, whereas Lena has lived and knows things and Webby knows things but hasn’t lived, Lena has been so strangled by Magica that she doesn’t know what real friendship is like meanwhile Webby was so sheltered that she didn’t know what the outside world was like and was super friendly to others as a way to learn more about this world she’d been missing.

Time displacement characters and stories are always fascinating to explore and it’s very likely not even considered by the writer unless it’s a major point to said character.
