Ducktales Circus AU
I periodically get interested in circuses and/or magicians so this is the by product of that but this is what acts I think the Ducktales characters would do in the circus purely based on vibes
Webby: I feel like she’d do a strong man act or the thing where you throw knives at a spinning target. If it was the strong man act I feel like she would have learned/inherited it from Beakley
Lena: I think she’d do aerial acts like silks, lyra, or trapeze. She’d probably know some magic tricks or dabbled in tarot and stuff too but aerial acts would be her main thing
Violet: I think she’d be a fortune teller who believes in absolutely none of it and just interprets how people are feeling and forces cards and stuff but if there was actual magic she’d end up learning about it and reframing the entire way she does things
I also think a team magic trapeze act would be cool or literally any act with the three of them
Huey: I feel like he would be a magician, he would love learning all the tricks because even if they seem impossible to others they make perfect sense to him. If he saw someone else performing a trick he hadn’t seen before he’d end up thinking about it until he figured out how it worked
Dewey: if it’s a modern circus he’d do those bikes in cages, if not I can see him being a clown but he’d hate it when people are scared of clowns and it would probably hurt his ego a bit. I could also see him as a ringmaster, basically just anything that’s either dangerous or has a lot of attention on him or both
Louie: I feel like he’d do more behind the scenes stuff because Scrooge probably runs the circus so I can see him helping out a lot in that aspect but I could see him being a magician or escape artist too
When they were younger the triplets probably did a group act but as they got older they decided to go different ways with their acts
Scrooge: I feel like he’d own the circus and not really have an act, maybe he knows some things or did acts in the past but currently he just manages stuff from behind the scenes
Donald: him and Della used to do an act together but after Della went missing (or whatever equivalent in this au) he stopped performing for the most part except maybe refreshing his skills every so often
Della: again a duo act with Donald but I have no idea what it would be but if she did a solo act I feel like she’d be a human cannonball
Beakley: a strong man act, I really have nothing else for her it just feels like it fits
I don’t have any other ideas right now minus a few actual story ideas but, yeah, this is what you get when I mix my current interests together
