#drakexlaunchpad

Right let’s go to the episode ‘my valentine ghoul’. In this episode Negaduck tries to woo Morgana, in order to use her powers for his evil plans.

Through a series of events, Darkwing is struck with a love potion, which makes him fall in love with the first person he sees. Basically Darkwing falls in love with Negaduck.

Now you may be wondering, what does Launchpad have to do with all this, he’s not even in the episode??

Ok so, Darkwing, under the influence of the love potion calls Negaduck loads of nicknames like nega buddy, pal, chum etc. I do understand that these nicknames were a result of censorship, but still, hear me out.

The fact that he calls Negaduck all these nicknames under the influence of the love potion suggests that these are the types of nicknames that DW would use on the person he is truly in love with.

Right? Now who does DW use these nicknames for without the love potion??? LP!!! He constantly calls LP buddy, or pal. He always uses these nicknames, without any sort of prompts, it’s just natural to him.

Moral of the story is that, DW uses nicknames that he would use for the person he loves, for Launchpad.

Thank you for all the likes and reblogs on all my posts!!

I wanted to get a discussion going! Reply to this post with your favourite Darkwing Duck 1991 episodes with reasons!!

I’ll go first,

my favourite episode is definitely, ‘The haunting of Mr Banana Brain’. DW, Launchpad and Gosalyn all act like such a cute happy family and it is ADORABLE!!! Every scene is so cute!!!

The three of them recalling the story!!

The three of them going to the museum as a family!!!

Darkwing and launchpad being sweet to each other!!!

And let’s not forget THE PICNIC SCENE!!!! Look at them holding hands!!!

In the episode ‘heavy mental’, Launchpad gains psychic powers, but he has trouble controlling them.

For instance if he’s thinking about something, it essentially comes true in a literal sense. For example if LP thought about a drink, it would float into his hand.

Ok so around 7:53 (a time-stamp) in the episode, Gosalyn asks LP what other powers he’s got and Drake comes running with his butt on fire.

Now hear me out, LP might have literally been looking at Drake's butt thinking it was 'hot' 👀 (as in attractive) and then drake's butt sets on fire. Just like his psychic powers that work in a very literal sense. Like think about it, it makes so much sense…

I think LP would be overbearingly overprotective, to the extent that he is basically smothering Drake with attention, medicines, blankets and what not.

He would be so overwhelmingly attentive that Drake would probably kick him out of his room in order to get some rest.

He would definitely be more worried than Drake when it comes to Drake’s health.

I feel like Drake would be super sweet, sweeter than normal. He would be super soothing and calm. Maybe he’d put his ego aside and even sing LP lullabies.

Definitely!!

I combine the LP from Ducktales 1987, Ducktales 2017 and Darkwing Duck series.

I sort of imagine that from Ducktales 1987 he must have stopped working for Scrooge and came to St. Canard, for the Darkwing duck series.

I don’t really know how Ducktales 2017 would fit into that headcannon, but I definitely combine all 3 versions of LP together.

However, for Drake/Darkwing, I see both the Drake from Ducktales 2017 and Drake from 1991, as two separate, distinct versions. While I admire and love both versions, I feel as if their respective traits are too different.

I kind of lean towards Jim Sterling being the original Darkwing duck, however I also sort of see him as just an actor for a show.

Thank you so much for your question! *\(^o^)/*

Drake has a massive ego, which is probably too big to even consider that he may be ugly. Although we do have episodes where he is conscious about his figure/waist line, for instance ‘toys czar us’, where he continuously asks if he looks fat.
