Happy 75th anniversary of Scrooge McDuck!

On November 14, 1947, a comic called Christmas on Bear Mountain was released and although it was a Christmas comic, Donald’s uncle named Scrooge McDuck will appear for the first time. At the beginning a big grumpy and bastard man, and at the end a happy man and an adventurer who only loves money. And yes, that comic was invented by Carl Barks, a genius comic artist and writer. Barks is also credited with creating the character Scrooge McDuck. So thanks Barks.

Scrooge was modeled on Ebenezer Scrooge in a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and was a real antagonist at first and cruel to his nephew Donald. However, he will later change and become a great legend not only for his great wealth, but also for his adventures, which he will later write about the making of the Indiana Jones movies. In addition, although he appeared as a forerunner in Donald’s classic propaganda short “The Spirit of ‘43” as Donald’s Good Spirit, he will have a real role in an educational classic short called “Scrooge McDuck and the Money” (1967), to become 20 years later the main character for the legendary Ducktales series (1987).

Apart from Barks, there were other writers and artists who worked for Donald Duck comics. Especially Don Rosa, who wrote and drew, around his collector’s comic, related to Scrooge’s life “The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck”. Of course there are other authors who have worked a lot on Scrooge comics such as William Van Horn, Marco Rota, Romano Scarpa, Giovanni Carpi, Guido Martina, Giovanni Cavazano, Arild Mildthun, Kari Korhonen and others.

Of course, Scrooge McDuck will also appear in other cartoons, comics, video games and other Disney franchises. He becomes the first richest duck in the world, having over a trillion dollars and becoming a hilarious legend and thus together with Donald and Daffy Duck, he becomes one of the most famous and best fictional duck characters ever.

Now there are pictures of the richest duck in the world, together with his friends and enemies and his family from the beginning until today, in its various versions. And sorry that this is going to be a long post and that not everyone will be able to stop at this post.

Yes, much of it is copy-pasted from my Scrooge post from last year which you can see here: https://ducklooney.tumblr.com/post/671249232279355393/happy-late-birthday-scrooge-mcduck

If you like the richest character in the world, feel free to like and reblog this! Happy birthday to you, Scrooge McDuck! And sorry for the delay! And happy 75th anniversary of his appearance! Although Scrooge is over 100 years old.

Louie Duck with Fethry and Dugan Duck plus Bolivar Dog - Gladstone and Shamrock Gander - Quack Pack AU

And now for a change, the Quack Pack, that is, my version of the Quack Pack. I drew Louie Duck from the Quack Pack with the dog Bolivar (from the comics, he's Donald's pet, but he can also be Louie's pet since Louie loves animals), but there's also Fethry Duck and Dugan Duck (Fethry's nephew), in hoodie jackets and to draw them together, since I know Louie has similar personalities to the two of them, even though Louie is a little more clever. Certainly, they would fit in perfectly, while Louie's brothers would be a little jealous of him. Yes, I also love the Italian version of Fethry Duck, which is called Paperoga in Italian. Also, my inspiration came from a drawing, from my friend @boingodigitalart, so thanks to him.

The second drawing I did was a Gladstone Gander with his nephew the Shamrock Gander, but in modern clothes, as I imagine them in my Quack Pack version. Yes, since the Gladstone Gander first appeared in the Wintertime Wager comic, stripy by Carl Barks from January 1948, I wish him a happy 75th anniversary or 75th birthday too! Yes, they are very happy, since they are such characters. Happy birthday, Gladstone!

I hope you like these drawings and these ideas and don't worry, there will be more surprises like this! Especially with pets! Happy New Year once again!

Also this is my gift for my friends who love these characters.

ok. a word of advice. NEVER EVER READ THE COMMENTS ON NEWS FORUMS.

even if they are for perfectly innocuous and uncontroversial topics - for example the windrush being taught about in schools - they get offended over. and there were so many racist comments saying that the windrush ruined britain. um, no. i'm white, but i want to learn more about the windrush, and i certainly hope i'm not that insular. damn racists.

and i was in a really good mood because i wanted to learn more about that part of british history but now i'm in a really bad mood. i feel so sad that some people hate other people so much.

anyway i think today is the 75th anniversary of the windrush arriving in england! so happy windrush day!!!! definitely going to do some more research and fuck the racists!!

#rambles #venting #tw vent #tw racsim #windrush #happy 75th anniversary #i am so glad that england is really multicultural i think it's super cool #i love seeing people from all around the world and learning about their cultures #it's the best thing ever

HAPPY NEW YEARS

YOUR HEART WAS hammering against your chest as you stared back at the crowd in front of you. Just keep a straight face, you thought to yourself, as the cameras focused on your frame. Mags was standing right next to you, fingers gently latched onto your wrist in silent comfort. As if she almost wanted to remind you that you weren't standing there alone that evening.

But you felt alone.

You took a deep breath as you tried to quench the panic rising inside your chest. Five years ago, you'd been standing there for the very first time. Five years ago, you'd been reaped alongside your male tribute. Five years ago, you'd killed him.

"Welcome as we celebrate the 75th anniversary and 3rd Quarter Quell of the Hunger Games." The escort of District Four started with enthusiasm. But at the mere sound of her voice, numbness rolled over your skin like cream and your throat clogged almost immediately.

For a moment, you couldn't breathe.

The memories were too tough on your head.

Instinctively, you turned to search for Finnick across the stage, but to your surprise, he was already looking at you. A hint of worry glossed over his face as he mouthed for you to take a deep breath. You swallowed hard, but eventually inhaled deeply at his command.

"As always, ladies first..."

You exhaled shakily.

"Mags Flanagan!"

Your heart stopped.

Imagine just how easy it would be to fool the Capitol if you could just step forward, Snow's voice suddenly slid into your thoughts. You clenched your jaw tightly as you took in his words carefully. I want you to dissipate that advantage, Ms. (Y/M), the words rang inside your ears over and over again. He wanted for you to pull off a show, you belatedly realized.

"I volunteer as a tribute."

"Wonderful!" The escort of District Four cheered, as you took a step forward. Mags tried to pull you back, but you were stronger than her and sternly escaped her grip, mouthing that everything was going to be okay.

"Now, for the male tribute..."

You inhaled sharply as you watched the escort fish for a name inside the bowl. For a few seconds, there was a straining silence on stage as everyone held back their breaths and waited.

"Finnick Odair!"

Your shoulders slumped in evident disappointment. For a moment, you'd wanted to believe he could get away, but you knew better than that. He would've volunteered the moment another Victor's name had been called either way — to keep you safe.

You turned to face Finnick, but his whole demeanor had suddenly shifted. He was donning a mask, you knew, but he played the role so well — so heavenly, as he boyishly smiled at the camera. Waving like a Victor, smiling like the whole district was beneath him.

You envied him a little.

He made it look so easy.

"Let's cheer for the lovers of District Four!"

Before you could take in her words, Finnick's lips pressed against yours without a warning. You were taken aback, fell back a step, but didn't reject it; instead, you returned it (remembering you were supposed to be a couple). His lips were soft, almost feather-like against your own — exactly like you'd remembered. For a moment, you’d forgotten about where you were standing, indulging in the fleeting moment you hadn't even realized you were long craving.

Until he was breaking the kiss and you knew the games had just begun.

The train back to the Capitol was quiet.

You were sitting alone in one of the cabins, looking out the window in silent thought. You were hugging your knees as you thought about the first time you'd driven this train before — where you'd first met Mags and Finnick. You were a kid back then, full of anger and terror; on the brink of losing your mind.

You remember tiptoeing around Finnick. Mistrusting and challenging everything that he had to say. You hated how gorgeous he was, how deceiving he seemed — how bad he wanted you to not die. You hated everything about him.

You scoffed at the silly memory.

Oh, how the tables have turned.

"Hey," Finnick's voice suddenly broke into your reverie. You turned to face him quietly, abandoning your thoughts momentarily as he took a deliberate seat next to you.

"Hey," you returned, a little faintly.

"I'm sorry about the kiss." He offered, without bothering to stifle the grin on his face.

"Don't look too sorry." You quipped quietly, before turning to face the window again. For a few seconds, there was a deafening silence between the two of you — an almost painful one, until Finnick eventually cleared his throat.

"You know," He started, shifting a little closer as he searched for your gaze. "For the whole romance act to work, we kind of have to, at least, know how to hold a conversation."

"There's nothing to talk about." You mumbled, snapping your eyes to the side to avoid his gaze.

He sighed audibly. "Look, honey, I know we ended our relationship on bad terms — "

"You ended it." You interjected, suddenly feeling a bubble of irritation boil inside your chest. After discovering the nightmarish truth behind your relationship and learning about the fatal threats that Snow held over Finnick; you'd been quick to forgive him. To love him, despite the lies and "affairs" that'd happened behind your back. You were willing to accompany him, comfort him — and live with his reality if it only meant having him.

But he'd refused.

Choose your destiny for you.

"I did what I had to do." There was an edge to his voice; a silent pled for you to understand. But you somehow didn't, instead, you shook your head and climbed back to your feet.

"Keep telling yourself that, Finnick." You made to walk away, but he latched his hand onto your wrist before you could even take a step forward; forcing you to fall back a step in the process.

"You think a life with me would've made you happy?" His voice raised a few decibels, and you held back your breath at the imminent argument that was about to brew. He leaned closer to your face as he spoke, and your senses immediately heightened at the dangerous proximity between the two of you. "A life with a man who sells his body? His soul? Tell me, (Y/N), what kind of life is that?"

"You were forced." You reminded him, swallowing the knot in your throat as you watched his expression harden.

"It doesn't change the outcome, does it?" He challenged. "You would've had to share your husband — the father of your children, with the people in the Capitol forever. And for what exactly? For a silly marriage? For a 'happy' life?"

You winced visibly as the words slipped out of his mouth. The meaning behind them hurt like glass cutting through your skin, but you tried to quell the sentiment from shattering before him.

A silly marriage.

A "happy life".

Things you'd given everything for.

"You're being mean." You whispered, and his fingers immediately let go of your wrist. For a moment, regret stole over his face as he realized the words had swept so swiftly out of his mouth.

"I didn't mean it like that — "

" — it's fine." You interjected, not wanting to continue with the conversation any longer before you quietly added. "It's not like it matters now."

"(Y/N) — "

" — Goodnight, Finnick."

And with that, you walked out of the cabin without another word.

You arrived at the Capitol the next day and were stationed on the fifth floor of the training center alongside Finnick and Mags (your mentor). You were instructed to rest before tomorrow's Chariot Rides, but you'd decided to entertain your curiosity and replay the games of the other tributes instead.

You knew your games were different from the others. These games were a montage of Victors, people who'd won and killed before. Your chance of survival was far less than the first time you'd been reaped — and that scared you a little. But you were putting your trust in Snow, in what he'd said to you that night when he'd visited your home.

If you achieve to sell your romance act, he'd said to you, the Capitol might even advocate for two winners again.

You audibly sighed as you thought about his words. About how hard it was going to be for you and Finnick to put your differences aside and pretend everything was perfect for the cameras.

But if that meant Finnick was going to survive — then you were going to do just that.

"Do you think it's real?" You found yourself asking out loud, as you watched Katniss and Peeta's games play on the enormous screen before you. Mags sat next to you on the couch, staring at the screen in the same curious manner you'd been before your question made her frown. “Their love, I mean."

Mags didn't respond for a while.

And you returned your gaze to the screen, watching as Peeta took the ends of Katniss' hair gently in his fingertips before throwing the poisoned berries into his mouth.

"I do." Mags eventually signaled with her hands. A faint smile curled her lips as she did so.

And you chewed on the inside of your cheeks.

"Fuck me then." You whispered, realizing that it was going to be a lot harder to overthrow their "fake" romance than you'd originally thought.

After a few hours, Mags eventually went back to her room and you continued to watch the games on the couch until fatigue forced you to shut your eyelids and fall asleep. You didn’t know what time it was or how many hours had gone by when a pair of familiar arms slid behind your waist and knees to carry you back into your room.

You were midair when you noticed, face buried in his neck when consciousness forced you awake. You made to protest against him, but a yawn interrupted you almost immediately and his chest shook in silent mirth.

“Shut up,” You mumbled when you cataloged his chuckle. “I’m still pissed at you.”

“Trust me, I know,” Finnick replied before he stepped inside your room and settled your body gently on the bed. “But I couldn’t leave my girl out there in the cold.”

You didn’t respond right away and he took this as an indication that it was time for him to leave.

“Goodnight, darling.”

You nibbled your bottom lip pensively. You hadn’t spoken to him since the argument you both had the night before. And, despite you hating him for forcing you away and ending everything — you loved him more.

And you knew he did too.

“Finnick,” You called quietly.

He stopped on his tracks. “Yeah?”

There was a pause. “Would you stay with me?”

He didn’t respond, instead, he shut the door close and walked back to the bed without a word. There was a comfortable silence in the room as the other side of the bed deepened with his weight and he slid under the warm sheets. Instinctively, you rested your head against his chest, and his arms wrapped around your waist securely.

There was no exchange of words between the two of you after that — it wasn’t necessary. And as the palm of your hand lay over his chest, it was more than clear that his heart was just underneath your fingertips.

(A/N)

Sorry about the long wait, I was super busy with the holidays and everything. Anyways, in the next chapter we will have beef between the reader and Katniss, jealousFinnick, and maybe a little bit of smut….

Scrooge McDuck, Flintheart Glomgold and John D. Rockerduck - Happy New Year!

I wish everyone a happy New Year! Happy New Year 2023!

This is one of my first drawings in the year 2023 and I drew the three richest billionaire ducks in the world celebrating the New Year and the holidays in a rich mansion (or rather in Rockerduck's rich mansion which Rockerduck covered in gold to impress his rival Scrooge) and toasting with white wine on that rich night with fireworks. I drew them in tuxedo suits and they look a little too realistic than usual, sorry. And sorry that the drawing came out curled with the leaves, so some things can be seen. All in all, Scrooge McDuck, Flintheart Glomgold and John D. Rockerduck are celebrating the New Year and will surely start again with their rivalries of who will be the first in wealth.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, with lots of health and happiness! Also, happy 75th anniversary of the first appearance of Scrooge McDuck! And I hope you like this drawing and this idea.

Hinny + 9 for this kiss meme!

For the kiss ask! Genuinely almost cried thinking too hard about this one.

9. 'We might die tomorrow' kiss

Ginny danced with her husband, slowly swaying with the music in their little sitting room as their wedding song played. It was a beautiful thing, she thought, to live to see their 75th wedding anniversary.

They had become weathered by time; their hips creaked, they tired more quickly, and their memories weren’t what they used to be, but they were undeniably, blissfully happy.

The life they had led was so full and joyous that the misery from which they picked up the pieces was nothing more than an echo, like the faded imprint of a bad dream, slipping away with each passing moment.

When the time came for them to leave this world, it would not be war or fear or loss that they remembered, but family and laughter and more love than either of them had ever dreamed possible.

So here they swayed, knowing that the day would soon come that one of them would depart, the other surely not far behind. They were not frightened nor sad, but at peace with the beautiful adventure they had taken each other on.

“You are every bit as beautiful as the day I married you,” Harry whispered, kissing the top of Ginny’s head.

The Prince and Princess of Wales surprised NHS staff by dropping in for a tea party at a London hospital.

TRH added the finishing touches to cupcakes and helped lay tables at a reception at St Thomas' Hospital before the health service's 75th anniversary today.

William and Kate visited St Thomas' in May ahead of the NHS anniversary on Wednesday.

They met with guests including Aneira "Nye" Thomas, the first baby born on the NHS, named after NHS founder Aneurin Bevan.

The guest list at their NHS Big Tea party also included three generations of NHS workers from one family -inspired by grandmother and former nurse of nearly 50 years Blanche Hines, who was part of the Windrush generation.

The event was hosted by NHS Charities Together, which the prince and princess are patrons of. The guest list also included pioneers in research and those on the frontline tackling Covid-19.

William concluded the visit with a video message for the entire NHS:

“Wishing everyone a very happy 75th birthday for the NHS. Thank you so much for all you do.”

Ellie Orton OBE, Chief Executive of NHS Charities Together, said: “We want to say a huge thank you to our Royal Patrons, and everyone who’s helped celebrate the 75th anniversary of our beloved NHS this year.”
