#airpirates

One of my favourite animated series, Talespin is launched on Disney plus Japan from today!!!!

I never knew as a kid Kit used to be part of the Pirates. The series doesnet really go into it really or make any hint that they used to be part of the team? Like snarky remarks about Kit going to be with a loser pilot, how he betrayed them, etc etc? Feels like just, the regular villains, no history.

Knowing "Plunder and Lightning" years later I wish they did Not that the cartoon is bad, hell, Disney Afternoon were most of our childhoods. But I am curious now more about Kit's time there, if they might try to steal him back, banter and smar talk between the enemies.

Anyway, WHAT if Kit had stayed? Some people have thought about this too, but I'll talk about this another time.

The kid had talent, a real passion and knowledge for flight and airplanes, can you imagine what he'd be like grown up? ESPECIALLY if he was a bad guy? Or, baddish anyway(again kids shows, it depends on, where you wanna go? In fanfics you often can explore the more dark route, in canon villians are, supposeldy CAPABLE of really hurting you but they dont often show it? Nothing wrong with either.)

I tried to keep the scruffy look the pirates have, gave him a gap tooth cuz it just felt like it would add to the overall look and cheekiness.

This is one area I found the Ducktales reboot a bit dissapionting. LOTS of great stuff, but, having Kit lose that passion for planes? Real pity. Molly as a Stuntwoman? Pretty cool, and hey its a legit line of work that a lot of people take serious and have there own rules of safety for. Like any job its just whether or not people follow standard procedure that its dangerous. "Dangerwoman" is an equally nice shoutout.

Last night, our headquarters got attacked by a Garlean warship. What used to be our home on the land got razed to the ground. No death in our crew, still a lot of wounded. Gaige will not be out of work soon. Using our last reserve of Ceruleum, I managed to make the Imperial vessel blow up. Only the leader of the attack, a Wildwood eleven, survived. We managed to capture him after a long, breathless fight. There is something quite peculiar about his Aether, I am looking for him regaining consciousness so I can question him.

Personally, I wish Kit Cloudkicker missed the air pirates, even after he met Baloo and lived with the bear family in Cape Suzette.

Homecoming

Many airfarer songs promoted coming home with the sun setting, to wake up home as if the travels had been dreams. Naturally, the market vendors preferred them coming home early in the morning with fresh wares. Kids didn't care either way as long as they got to be there, get the first treats and gifts, and hear the newest stories.
