Della x Launchpad Fan Blog

DELPAD WOO-HOO!! I’m in that secret little club that adores this ship, but I’m here to provide content! Enjoy!

“I’m stuck.”

“Huh?”

Now, Della had a very common McDuck family trait - the ability to scare anyone even when she was the one in a dire situation. And Launchpad was particularly susceptible to this trick.

Huffing, Della twisted herself around in the bars of the stair guardway, staring Launchpad down until he was practically at her height. “I said, I’m STUCK.”

“B-but...you got yourself in there! Can’t you get out?” Launchpad stepped around the guardrail and examined her position. Despite the situation Della’s face heated up at his eyes on her form. No, no, stay mad! If she was mad she couldn’t like him. That would solve it. After all, it always did in the movies, right?

Launchpad put a warm hand on her shoulder and smiled gently. 

Aw, phooey. 

“Don’t worry, Miss Dee, Drake once got himself stuck between his motorcycle and the computer, but Gosalyna and I got him out! Sure, it took some peanut butter and a lot of staples, but he’s doing a lot better now!” He grinned brightly and swung himself around so he was behind her. “So, what should I do?”

The clock was ticking and Della was running out of ideas. The clock had just chimed for four in the morning, and knowing her brother, he’d be up anytime now to get his I Raised Three Children and Didn’t Get Enough Sleep During It coffee. How was she supposed to explain this? 

A flicker of light passed between them. Della’s eyes caught his and she found her breath had just...gone. It wasn’t there anymore. 

No...no, not cute, not cute…

“Uh, here, just grab my hands. It’ll be easier to get my hips out than my head.” 

Almost like the carnival ladder game, Della suspended her center of gravity, grabbed Launchpad’s wrists and balanced her body in the space between him and the cold metal bar holding her captive. She twisted around until she was on her side and ditched her metal leg. 

Hanging her head upside down she caught Launchpad’s eyes. “Okay, now before all the blood rushes to my head, pull me out.”

“But...but won’t that hurt?” A calm sense of concern and gentlemanly goodness leaked through his voice.

Della balanced one arm on his. Her hand caressed his wrist as the other lifted to his jaw, her thumb tenderly brushing across his beak. “Launchpad, you beautiful idiot - I had to sever my own leg off on the moon. I’ll be okay.”

“Alright, if you say so.” Launchpad gulped and grabbed both her hands once more and pulled, gently at first, then, working together, she popped out of the steel trap and landed neatly in his lap. The silence of the early-morning dust in the mansion surrounded them as her hands went to rub her sore hips.

“Uh, you...you okay?” 

For a goofball who couldn’t tell the difference between ice tea and coffee, he was surprisingly...warm. Comfortable. Like she could spend forty-eight hours just sitting with him and binging video games. Like he wouldn’t judge her for burping or asking if her foot looked weird. Like he already knew everything about her.

And then he smiled.

Soft and careful, cautious not to let her own heart fall into him too quickly, Della grinned back and let her cheek brush against the leather of his jacket. “Y-yeah, I’m good.”

“Um...I’m sorry I got you involved in this. It was just a dare, I mean I know I could have gotten you in trouble.” Launchpad ran a hand behind his head as he squirmed and shifted until Della sat by her lonesome on the steps. 

She grinned deviously. “Launchpad, the art of not being an idiot is extremely challenging for me. If you hadn’t dared me to it I’d have done it on my own.”

“Hey. I’m an idiot too!” Launchpad broke into glee and grabbed her tight above the ground. The cuddling sensation of his arms around her was a feeling she was getting used to a little too quickly. 

Della laughed out loud as the pilot spun her around the living room, hair flying into her face and the beginning of a sunrise peeking through the window so it could catch a glimpse of the rebels in hysteria. 

However, a quacking, exhausted voice broke the dance from just in the doorway, and neither needed to look to know who it was. 

“What are you two doing?”

I think this would be my 1st Delpad piece?

Here you go!

Moon

When he was younger, he never wished on stars.

He always wishes on the moon; it seemed bigger and brighter than all the stars in the sky--mysterious, and it was his own secret that moon wishes were ten tines better than star wishes.

It was ethereal; he was certain there had to be a moon fairy somewherre.

And now he was certain SHE was that fairy....that she had been born of the moon and sent in answer to his wishes.

Delpad Weekend Day 3: Woodchuck

|REUPLOAD| Had to reupload cause for some reason this disappeared from every search I made

I've been seeing a lot of DelPad content lately. And I'm cracked !!

Launchpad Terra and Della Aqua

Launchpad: Everybody relax, we're about to crash.

(He says in a low deep voice)

It makes me sound like an insane person. But I swear - once the pieces fall into place, everything clicks. My script actually works!

This makes a lot of sense, obviously, but this only highlights to me where "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!" went wrong - it's very likely two episodes that have been stitched together.

The first episode is a Webby-centric episode, using references from "The Goonies". This episode likely retains its basic structure and isn't too different from the one we saw. My guess is that Quackfaster who works at the historical grounds is likely supposed to be Grandma Duck - which, in the art book, Frank said he wanted to include but "didn't have time for." It's possible he wanted to use her in S3 but what better episode to use Grandma than the one that involves her grandfather, Cornelius Coot? Della would be present as Grandma is her grandmother on the Duck side of the family - which doesn't get a lot of focus in this show, but it would have been interesting to see.

Which brings me to the second episode...A "Top Gun" based episode, focusing on Della & LP. There's sporadic references in "Cornelius Coot" to Top Gun - it's rather random and mostly done because aeroplanes. But if there was, say, a whole episode based on Top Gun, which not only had Della & LP bonding, but also gave us important backstory as to how LP got a job with Scrooge in the first place? That would be interesting, no?
