[EDIT: Didn't realize I posted here instead of my other tumblr] Normally I avoid posting Fancharacter AUs here, especially since they’re low effort. But then that would mean Unexpectables Sketchdumps should be here. So screw it. It’s going to be cringey as heck, but I’m feeling dangerous to try posting it here.

More from the “Stranger Things” AU for Ducktales/Darkwing. It’s mostly doodles of Jim adjusting his life around Miyu as a single-father. And some cute DrakeMiyu moments. Like I mentioned in the first batch, he gets some help & advice from Mss. Mallard and his past co-stars from the Darkwing cast. Warning for long description below.

I envisioned a scene where Miyu is preparing to give respect to her mother. Sadly all she has are the urn of Lucia’s ashes and a framed photo. Jim joins in to provide emotional support, especially after the recent revelation of how Lucia was murdered in an attempt to abduct Miyu. Jim offers a promise to look after Miyu, since he feels guilty for how Lucia got ill in the first place. His selfishness was a slow build to Lucia’s unwarranted demise. To his surprise, he gets a spiritual glimpse of Lucia and Miyu’s birth mother. Both giving Jim their gratitude and blessings to watch over Miyu.

Miyu and Drake would exchange letters often, but over time Miyu would start getting creative with sending them faster. She begins to experiment with making talismans in hopes of perfecting communication with her friends in St.Carnard. She’d have some problems acclimating to a normal school environment, since she’s had little to none after her mother’s death. It’s hard to concentrate when you’re actively ignoring the presence of school ghosts. Miyu’s presence attracts all manner of supernatural to her and Jim’s house. So she’s gotten good practice at warding away the unfriendly ones. Jim had to learn to live with Miyu’s menagerie of bats, spiders, yokai, foxes and Enfields.

Like mentioned in the initial concept, Jim swallowed his pride and went with small gig roles to pay the bills. So he’d play as an extra, supporting role, or antagonist roles. But he finds that his efforts are worth it since Miyu always tries to visit him on set with home-made bento and encouragement. He was able to make an effort to improve after Miyu gives her opinion of how every role is essential and important for a story. I wanted to draw Jim struggling with chopping veggies while Miyu is coaching him. She is lucky to have access to ghosts who were cooks. Even if one of them was a failed tv chef. Due to Miyu’s early presence, Drake and Elmo are fans of anime and manga much earlier. Miyu and Jim visit St. Canard every fall for Halloween. Their 2nd Halloween became just as fun as their first. Drake got into ninjas and eventually decided to combine his favorite things into 1. Miyu went as a kitsune Miko priestess to respect Inari, and in case the spookies decide to act up. The tail and ears are fake. She won’t get them back until later teens. Elmo will dress as his favorite inventor/engineer from the recent “Final Reverie” JRPG franchise. Jim feels betrayed that one of his biggest fans would DARE consider dressing as something other than Darkwing. He’ll get over it eventually. Because Drake ends up going pseudo-Darkwing, or dress as something else. Tastes and interests change with age and time, after all.

Miyu and Drake’s relationship would start as best friends, but it would grow into romance entering highschool. And like any typical father, Jim will be overprotective of Miyu, despite the fact that he knows Drake and has no reason to distrust him. Jim’s outfit has changed compared to his usual. As mentioned, Miyu’s presence attracts all manner of supernatural to her. Jim did a lot of ghost and monster fighting to protect Miyu. So he always wears certain jackets or clothes that Miyu has charmed and can hide a set of silver knuckle dusters. Drake takes all of Jim’s interrogating with good humor and truly admires Jim’s indiscriminate scrutiny of anyone dating Miyu. Jim has actually been perfecting his DM skills over the years. He once got a SNL-type gig playing the role of an ornery, petty DM in a D&D skit. It was either him DMing on live tv for a short-running campaign series with Drake, Elmo, and Miyu as main cast. Or maybe Drake, Elmo still wanted to campaign during college, despite their long distance. They campaign via group vid-chat & Jim is all onboard for starting anew. They start recording their sessions just for fun to share their adventures. Drake and Launchpad meet much earlier than cannon and soon he joins the campaign.

Mishiranu Mono

Mishiranu Mono - part 1 ?

(i don’t know if op would be ok with me continuing, but i would like too if they let me)

Darkwing Duck au inspired by @inyuji and this post

[I fell in love with their art and idea for this au and it had such a beautiful story, and wonderful detail I had to write something.]

The night was cold, wind flapping, with foreboding terror. The moon was full and trees rustled with hard snaps, bending and twisting with night air. The dim light of the moon covered the empty street, or rather mostly empty. At the end of a quiet street just before the end of town was a small figure moving in the jagged shadows of the line up houses. The small figure moved in the night scuffling from house to house with footsteps as quiet as a gentle wind that would hit ones cheek on a summers day. The figure moved closer to a house and moved along its edge and hid below the light of the window that cast itself through thin kitchen curtains,the small figure moved beyond the lights yellow gaze and moved deeper into the shadows. The figure moved its hands to the top of a trash can lid and slowly placed their tiny fingers under it, then with the lightest of touches moved the lid upward and into the air.

‘Drake, honey have you put the garbage bin on the curve yet.’

A voice called from inside the window, light footsteps came past the window and a door creep open an amber glow hit the grass and the shadowy figure moved away into the darkness dropping the lid behind it.

‘Doing it now Mom.’

The voice called from the door-frame and the bright figure stepped onto the grass. it was a small boy on older then 13, he looked over into the darkness and walked towards it. The darkened figure pushed deeper into the dark but pulled there hand up like they were ready to push the boy away, but the boy had only taken a few steps before he bent down and pit up the garbage lid.

‘Damn wind.’

the boy then put the lid back on the can and dragged it to the street. The boy then stood there for a moment as he looked at the moon, he then stretched out his arms flapped then up and down slowly, he was saying something but it was lost to the wind. The boy then looked at his watch and jumped slightly and he ran back to the house.

‘It’s on, it’s on, it’s on.’

he then shut the door behind him and locked it with a clack, returning to the light he had walked out of. when his footsteps had left the kitchen. the small shadowy figure moved into the yellow glow.

A young girl no older then the boy she had raven black hair that went to her shoulders, it was uneven and looked like it been cut with garden sheers, she had bloodshot eyes and deep black bags under her eyes. She moved her face out of the light as quickly as she came into it, she then quickly and quietly moved back into the hollowing night.

the wind fell and the morning came and the sun lit up the streets. Out front of the the house closest to the hill side, was the young boy pulling his bike to the concentrate. The boy hummed the same tune over and over with word’s like ‘Darkwing’ and ‘lets get dangerous’ came whispering out on occasion. The boy rode his bike down the street and to the school. This ride took the boy about one hour every morning but he insisted on doing it everyday rain or shine. he believed if he could handle the ride there then everything else his school day had in store for him would be easy by comparison, and sometimes he was right, but today much like many other day’s it was only the beginning.

When Drake chained up his bike and run into class he heard Tommy Michel, talking to a group of gathered class mates.

‘It was a voice, it spoke in some kind of gibberish, must have been a kind of ghost language, and, and, I think it started singing.’

Tommy spat out these words theatrically as the small group pondered his words.

‘No way, you full of it Tommy.’

said a red headed girl.

‘Nah, nah I heard it, it was super creepy.’

she shook her heard at this.

‘There is no way, you, got close enough to hear it.’

some of the group nodded.

‘Yeah your way to much of a wuss for that.’

laughed out Herb Muddlefoot, a rather large and tall boy who was twice as big and wide as Drake.

Drake moved to his desk and took off his hat and turned his whole body to the boy next to him, who was drawing lighting bolts on his desk.

‘Hey, Elmo, what are they taking about?’

‘The weird house on the hill, Tommy kicked a ball over the fence yesterday, and he climbed over to get it, said he heard a voice inside the place, whole lot of bunk if you ask me.’

Elmo kept scribbling on his desk, Drake looked over to the small group again, Amy Foxwell, twitched her nose.

‘He’s right, something is in there, I can see the hill from my house. And the other night I looked out my window and i saw a whole bunch of strange lights, they were coming from inside the house.’

The group draw in closer together but Drake and Elmo could still hear everything their were saying.

‘Really, what did they look like?’

asked Herb suddenly a lot more invested, Amy took a moment.

‘like, like, shiny smoke. i don’t know.’

Tommy started waving his hands.

‘See, see, the place is hunted.’

Look’s of agreement went around the class room. Elmo leaned over so that only Drake could hear him.

‘Don’t you think it’s really hunted?’

Drake pondered this, then shrugged.

‘Doesn't matter, I’m not worried, it can’t hurt anyone and I’m not scared of ghosts.’

Drake nodded to himself, Elmo shook his head.

‘Dingus, you really do have some kind of death wish or something.’

Elmo then muttered something that sounded like idiot and went back to drawing.

Elmo Sputterspark was the closet thing Drake had to a friend, they were both seen as the class ‘weirdos’ but they weren’t to keen on each other either but they were both smart enough to know there was safety in numbers. So it was kind of a making do situation.

Drake found that he was not fully understood by other kids around him, they called him names and pushed him down everyday but he always got back up, and they would keep pushing, waiting for the day he would stay down, but it never came. It had become a game of sorts, who can keep Drake down the longest.

Drake then made his way into his school day being pushed into walls, slammed into floors and being called many things under hushed tones. When the day was done he set off on his long ride home and on his way he came across a small group in the distance, they were near the house on the hill.

The house on the hill has been abandoned for years now. The grass was so over grown that it reached up to Drake’s shoulder’s, the house itself was run down as rotting wood caved in. The place had been like this as long as Drake could remember, but recently it was more talkative or at least if Tommy Michel is to be believed.

Tommy Michel was standing in front of the old, beaten in fence as a group of boy’s stood in a circle, they seemed to be throwing something between themselves. Then Drake spotted Elmo running between the other boy’s trying to grab the object, Drake rode his bike over and jumped off his bike.

‘Hey! what you doing.’

Drake said announcing himself.

‘None of your business, Mallard.’

Herb (of course it was Herb) throw then what appeared to be Elmo’s bag to Tommy. The boy’s kept laughing and throwing the bag. Drake pushed himself into the middle.

‘Quit it, give it back.’

Drake was always ready for a fight, and they knew that. So, Herb know he had to think fast.

‘Ok, Drakestar you want it, go get it.’

Herb then spun the bag around and throw it as hard and as fast as he could at the house and it broke through an upstairs window, The boy’s then went away laughing and left Drake and Elmo standing there.

‘Gee, thanks.’

Drake looked over to Elmo.

‘They would have just gotten bored like usual if you hadn't put your big beak where it doesn't belong.’

Drake shook his head.

‘You have got to start standing up for yourself, or their just going to walk all over you.’

‘They walk all over me now! and they walk all over you too, and I don’t get as beaten up as you.’

Drake just sighed, if Elmo didn’t get it there was no use explaining.

‘My Dad’s gonna kill me, that’s the third bag this year.’

‘It’ll be fine Elmo, i’ll get it.’

‘Are you crazy!?’

‘No why?’

Elmo gave him a familiar sigh.

‘Suit yourself, but I’m going home.’

Elmo walked off in a huff, Drake looked upon the house and craned his neck up. It was taller then he thought, but, he was going to get Elmo’s bag back, ghost or no ghost. Drake took off his cap and put it in his bag he didn’t want any spider web’s or dust all over his favourite Darkwing Duck hat, he then weaved his way through the broken fence and into the garden. He stepped through the grass, it was so thick he could hardly walk in it, but as he got about six steps in he tripped. Drake landed face first on the hard ground, he had found himself in a clearing of sorts. Little trails were made in the grass that lead to and from the front door, you could only see them from the inside, Drake got up and slowly moved to the door.

He crept into the house as quietly as he could, the floor creaked with every step, the wind hollowed into his ears, sending a chill down and through his whole body, he looked around the room it was dusty and smelled like mildew. He paced his why to the stairs humming the tune that he hummed earlier that day, it seemed to have given courage as he made his way up the crumbling stairs. It was to dark to see in front or behind him, the wind was whistling in his ears louder now, but there was no windows or door’s open in the hall way, he felt something brush up against his foot, he let out a yelp as he jumped into the air breaking a floorboard under him. He looked around for a moment as he pulled his foot out of the hole he had made, he saw a light flickering under a door at the end of the hall. It did not look like someone was turning a light switch on and off but more like pulse like what ever it was, had been fading in and out. Drake got his foot out of the hole and moved to the pulsing light. He moved his hand to the door and turned the handle, pushing the door open and walking in. the room was empty and there was no sign of the light like it was never there. Drake let out a breath and turned back to the hall,

‘Yours’

A high scratchy voice said behind him. Drake snapped his head back to see two glowing eyes looking back at him.

to be continued?

송편 (Songpyeon) - Pine cake / Half-moon shape rice cake

They are made and eaten during Chuseok. Some say that if you make pretty songpyeon you’ll have a beautiful daughter. (although other rumors are you’ll have a good spouse or a beautiful baby)

Songpyeon is traditionally steamed on pine needles. This gave them a woody aroma and stopped them from sticking to the steamer.

Different regions have different types of songpyeon.

Chungcheon province = pumpkin in the dough and shaped like a pumpkin

Gangwon province = potato starch and acorn powder in the dough, people from Gangneung leave their handprints on their songpyeon;

Gyeongsang = ramie in the dough. This makes it healthier

Jeju = sweetened pea filling that has a concave center. Are often pan-fried after steaming

Jeolla = arrowroot starch used in the dough. Often shaped like a flower

Seoul = five-coloured (오색) songpyeon (white, brown, pink, green and yellow)

Equipment

Bowls

Measuring cups or scales

Cling film

Saucepan

Strainer/sieve

Mortar & pestle (or the student method: Ziploc bag and the flat side of a knife)

Gloves

Steamer

Ingredients

All dough contains 2 cups (235g) rice powder each. This can be found in the frozen section in Asian stores but needs to be thawed before using. This is different to sweet (/glutinous) rice flour

White dough

4 tbsp + 1-2 tsp boiling water

Green dough

1.5 - 2.5 tsp matcha tea powder

4-5 tbsp + 1-2 tsp boiling water

Yellow dough

50g Kabocha squash (cooked)

1-4 tbsp boiling water

Red dough

1-3 beetroots

Water (enough to cover beetroot in a saucepan)

Pink dough

½ cup of raspberries

½ cup of water

Purple dough

½ cup blueberries

½ cup of water

Filling

There are many types of fillings:

Roasted Sesame seeds

Mung beans

Sliced Dates

Crushed pine nuts

Canned chestnuts in syrup

Each filling contains ½ cup of the bean/seed/nuts with 2 tbsp of honey, 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional) and a pinch of salt. (If you’re using canned chestnut in syrup, you don’t have to add anything)

Instructions

All Doughs

Boiling water should always be the last thing added to the rice powder

Straight after adding the boiling water, mix with a spoon constantly until it cools down

Then knead with your hands for 5 minutes and cover the dough with a wet towel or cling film for a few minutes

White dough

Add boiling water to rice powder and mix

Green dough

Add matcha powder to the rice powder and then add the boiling water and mix

Yellow dough

Peel the kabocha and cut into small chunks

Microwave the kabocha squash for 40 seconds (or until it’s soft)

Add the squash to the rice powder by pushing it through a strainer/sieve and add the boiling water and mix

Red dough

Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the beetroots

Remove the beetroots once the water looks red enough and add 4 tbsp of the boiled water to the rice powder and mix

Pink dough

Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the raspberries and water and mash them

Let it bubble for a few minutes while stirring

Remove from heat and pour through a strainer/sieve

Add 4 tbsp of this raspberry juice to the rice powder and mix

Purple dough

Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the blueberries and water and mash them

Let it bubble for a few minutes while stirring

Remove from heat and pour through a strainer/sieve

Add 4 tbsp and 1-2 tsp of this blueberry juice to the rice powder and mix

Fillings

Honey sesame seeds

Grind the sesame seeds using a food processor or mortar and pestle (or using a Ziploc bag and the flat side of the knife)

Add honey, sugar and salt and mix

Mung beans

Soak mung beans for 2-3 hours

Remove the skin of the mung bean by rubbing them.

Steam the mung beans for 15 minutes

Coarsely chop the beans

Add honey, sugar and salt and mix

Dates

Thinly slice the dates

Add the honey, sugar and salt and mix

Pine nuts

Crush the pine nuts and add a tbsp of honey, sugar, and salt

Chestnuts

Good to eat as is if using canned chestnut in syrup or you can chop or crush them.

Construction

Tear off a piece of dough and roll into a ball of the dough about 1-inch diameter

Press your thumb in the middle of the ball to make a well and press the sides to make the dough an even width.

Fill the well halfway with the filling

Fold in half and seal the open edge by pinching together.

Decorate them

Place them in a tray (don’t let them touch each other) and keep them covered

Repeat until all the filling and dough is done

Cooking

Add water to the steamer and boil over high heat

Traditionally, pine needles are placed at the bottom of the steam basket however a damp kitchen cloth will work too. Place the songpyeon on top and place the lid on the steamer. (btw “song” means pine tree)

Steam for 12-20 minutes

Remove from the heat and take the lid off and place it in a bowl of cold water.

Take the songpyeon out and coat them with a thin layer of sesame oil

Songpyeons are traditionally shaped the way pictured above but there are different types nowadays that usually include looking like fruit, vegetable or flowers but I found some more unique ones pictured below.

do you think toffee and eclipsa had a romantic history ( I mean given eclipsas fondness for candys its quite possible that toffee was a nickname eclipsa gave him when his real name was teufel or mephistopheles (and given that the septarian was listed as 9/10 while eclipsa would have listed globgor as 10/10 ) it makes me think that the lovetriangle eclipsa talked aobut was between globgor and a septarian

Yes! That is exactly my headcanon! That Toffee was the other guy that Eclipsa implied having difficulty choosing. And I've always liked the idea that "Toffee" was a nickname or an abbreviation; I especially like @thelastunicorninoz's name Mephistopheles, as well as @inyuji's Tovloroq. I myself call him Aristophanes sometimes (not sure how accurate this is, but I believe the two names together can mean something along the lines of "appearing the best"). Though my own headcanon name for him is Ragnarok.

Today at work a kid asked if we had any fidget spinners and mid-sentence in answering I spotted the grandmother frantically motioning "no" and I had to choke halfway through my answer to pretend that, no, we totally didn't have them hidden behind the till, and anyway the point of this is that all I could think of was the YarningChick scene (which InYuJi sketched and I can't remember which story it is) where Baron goes "of course there is...n't a goblin kingdom" and this fandom has totally ruined me

Don’t know how much more ducks I wanna draw. For now, I wanted to get this out of the way. This is dubbed the “Stranger Things” AU, where Miyu Moreno met Drake as young teens, but under bad circumstances. Basically Drake and his classmate Elmo Sputterspark befriend Miyu and dub themselves the “Weirdo Club.” And they just enjoy an entire autumn doing fun shenanigans while trying to find leads to Miyu’s possible relatives. WARNING: LONG story description. Read at your own peril

Miyu’s adoptive mother, Lucia Moreno, did not survive the risky operation to cure her illness. This left Miyu an orphan, and unable to look after herself. What’s worse was being secretly watched by strange people who claimed “child services.” The spirits and yokai warned her of the shady government agents. Out of desperation and fear, Miyu snuck out of Japan to America when she was thirteen, hoping to find any relatives who could take her in. Unfortunately she was still being tracked by the shady agents, so she ran and hid as far as she could. She stayed hidden, barely surviving in a rumored “haunted house,” in the homely town of St. Canard.

Young teen Drake Mallard would brave his way into the haunted house to retrieve his classmate’s bag, which was maliciously disposed by some schoolyard bullies. That’s how he stumbles into a half-starved Miyu, and a bunch local ghosts and a few yokai. Drake barely understood Miyu’s plight, but decided to visit her and help. While trying to teach Miyu with English, Drake discovered some untranslated and translated manga at his local bookstore, and used these as a teaching aid for Miyu and himself. Drake has been introduced to Anime much earlier and now has even more things to nerd over. Our boi is dorkier than ever and I don’t regret a thing.

Over a month, his classmate noticed something was up with Drake. They are not friends, but they are friendly to each other. Drake decided to trust Elmo on his secret, and soon Elmo became part of the “weirdo” club. Miyu would mostly stay hidden, but she occasionally pops out in public when she’s dragged to movies or possible school events. They did share a very awesome Halloween. Drake and Elmo would research possible leads to Lucia Moreno’s relatives or any past work acquaintances. Miyu would try to dreg up clues or help from the local spirits also. At some point, Drake’s mother found out about Miyu when she came home early from shopping and caught Drake trying to smuggle in Miyu to his house. After getting an explanation, she decided to let Miyu stay, though she really wants to alert authorities about the “runaway child.” She does see how Miyu is deadly scared of any “bad men” finding out, since a few had posed as government workers.

The shady agents from Japan have tracked Miyu down, and it’s revealed that they are Onmyoji hunting down Miyu for her magic. Drake and Miyu hastily embark on a road trip to flee from the Onmyojis and seek out the past Darkwing actors. With Elmo occasionally guiding them via radio and Miyu’s helpful spirits, they are able to visit the main Darkwing villain actors and ask about Lucia. While they have good things to say about her brief time on the show, they do not know much about Lucia’s family or if she even had family here. During their biking trip, they befriend a stray Grim, who has kept stealthy vigil over Drake and Miyu. When they finally meet Jim Starling, they are given even more disappointing news. Jim was really shocked that Lucia had adopted a kid during her time recovering and feels guilty about Miyu being an orphan. Jim lies about not knowing Lucia much, not wanting to reveal that his dangerous stunts were the cause of Lucia being injured during set, resulting in her damaging her voice and falling ill. Rather than risk the show being cancelled, Jim had suggested to the writers and producers to drop Lucia from the show. Drake is a bit hesitant to believe that this acting hero is lying, when all the other actors remember Lucia. Miyu has practically given up when their final lead knows nothing.

The Darkwing actors had actually met up shortly at Jim’s signing to ask if he had met Drake and Miyu. They are concerned that two kids are trekking a long way, and hope to rectify their poor judgment of letting the kids go on their merry way. They are disappointed that Jim had practically lied to a bunch of kids, knowing that he too knew Lucia during the short time on set. At that moment, the 2 Onmyojis start interrogating the crew, claiming they are investigators looking for 2 runaway children. One of them however, is pissed and hates dealing with the “normies.” The actors deny knowing where the kids went, and Jim lies though his teeth that the kids probably hit the bus to the next town. When the Onmyojis leave, everyone is officially freaking out. All of the actors are calling the cops and contacting old colleagues who had worked on the Darkwing production. Jim is too freaked out to do anything and doesn’t want to get involved.

When the Onmyojis finally catch up to Miyu and Drake, Drake was almost killed. Witnessing this caused Miyu to awaken her Kitsune blood. Miyu’s real mother was a kitsune, which has given her a sixth sense for the supernatural and magic. Jim Starling had stumbled on this fight while on his way home, and attempted to help. He was easily subdued and injured in the process. After Miyu maliciously subdued all yokai shikigamis (onmyoji summons) and the 2 Onmyojis, the police and paramedics were able to come in time. Drake is diagnosed to be in coma, with low chances of waking up, and this breaks Miyu. Jim feels terrible that he was practically useless and that he was the reason that Lucia was ill and had to seek treatment, which ultimately killed her. Drake’s mother is wracked with grief, but she doesn’t blame Miyu, seeing how much Miyu blames herself. During the fight with the Onmyojis, they reveal that they had sabotaged the operation that would supposedly cure Lucia’s illness. They wanted Miyu easily vulnerable to induct her into their ranks as an Onmyoji in their organization. Miyu blames her existence and her magic for hurting people around her. Out of desperation, Miyu consulted whatever yokai friends for a solution, and prays for Inari, the Kami closely related to Kitsune and possibly the Kami her kitsune mother had served. Inari appears as a spectral apparition and warns Miyu that she will weaken in magic, even with Inari’s help. Miyu doesn’t care for magic anymore. Drake finds himself in a spectral limbo and told about the plight happening in the living realm. Drake doesn’t want Miyu to sacrifice her magic for him, and stubbornly makes his way towards a gateway back to the living, but with great difficulty.

Drake still has to stay hospitalized, but he only needs to heal from a broken arm, and surprisingly, his skull has recovered nicely. Miyu’s magic has been sapped near dry, so all proficiency she had gained is back to level 0. However, Miyu would still have to be processed into Foster Care. There is no guarantee that Miyu will find a stable place to keep in contact with Drake through long-distance letters. Jim had talked a bit with Miyu, asking about her life with Lucia. Wanting to appease his guilt and truly being sorry for Miyu, he manages to take in Miyu as his foster child. He wants to give Miyu a stable home so she can keep consistent correspondence with Drake and Elmo.

Miyu and Jim are able to visit St. Canard every month, especially during school vacation breaks. This gives the kiddies a chance to continue on their Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Jim has started to get the hang of being their Dungeon Master. Now that Jim is a foster father, slowly becoming an adoptive father, he bites down his pride and takes any small gigs to pay bills. But this has been good for him. He’s slowly gaining momentum as an actor, though nothing too noteworthy. Miyu is quite proud of Jim doing his best, and always makes it a routine to pack a bento for him. She finds every chance to personally bring it to him. Over time, Miyu has regained her proficiency in magic in her late teenage years. Jim has been getting good support and contact with his old DW crew, and some parenting advice from Mss. Mallard. Drake has been taking good care of the Grim, who is now lovingly named “Kage.” When Miyu is in her teenage years, Jim is actually nailing a lot more Duckflix gigs who have taken some note of Jim’s improving repertoire. It also helps that he’s become less of a jerk.
