(Morgana's design is heavily inspired by this design)
Also as a solution to the Morgwing vs. Drakepad, I decided to have Loopgana (Loopey x Morgana) happen instead in this AU
I didn't know Loopey existed since I haven't watched the original DuckTales (only the original Darkwing), but @meerkatp's fanart of them convinced me to ship them even though they have never interacted in canon :'D
I watched "Top Duck" afterwards and here's my Loopey reboot design
Bonus doodles:
I also decided Morgana deserved a lover who would be supportive of her interests (the creepy food) :)

re: this post that shows how impactful gyro is on Ducktales 2017's plots...but how the show doesn't acknowledge it.
Disclaimer : I like...some of Ducktales 2017.
Let's Get Dangerous and Astro Boyd are some of my favorite episodes. Also Most Dangerous Game Night and Waddleduck
But it's because I love the characters and even some of the new ones that I can critique and point out flaws in a show. I'm an adult - I can love something and viciously mock it for it's mistakes.
( other rant post. )
when the Spear of Selene incident ( Shown in Last Crash ) & What Happened to Della Duck came out I was buzzing with ideas of what would happen if Della got back on earth. I had expected Dewey to figure out that Gyro built the rocket and confront him. That it would be a plot point but, it never was. None of the nephews found out. None of them seemed to care either. For the show to act like Dewey finding out about his mom was super important, you'd expect them to show Gyro slipping up and talking about Della so that Dewey would ask him a million questions about her.
So why? Why even show that Gyro essentially created and designed the ship that started all the drama if you're not going to do anything?
I wonder if Frank and Matt planned to do a Gravity Falls sort of show with mysteries to solve and character development but someone wanted more KID ORIENTED EPISODES and they already had the Magica de Spel set up so they didn't have time? From the first season, it seemed to be Setting Gyro up as the Not As He Seems Stan red herring and we were supposed to find out that he has a heart of gold or whatever… but the Finale just throws him into the plot, has Scrooge call him a WORK ACQUAINTANCE and has Magica unceremoniously throw him into the lake. Then nothing, Scrooge forgets about him. No one wonders where Dr. Gearloose is. They just defeat Magica de Spel and celebrate without him.
The next time we see him, a whole bunch of months have passed. ( I was milking the drama of that finale in roleplays for those months and thriving.) But,
it really felt like a slap in the face to have Gyro show up in the mansion completely fine. Not at all upset at Scrooge for leaving him in the lake like that. He's there to do a little colonialism as a treat and he sets off the entire plot that starts up Louie's arc into being less '' evil ''. In Gyro's interactions with Louie, you can tell that Gyro wants to become the nephew's Uncle - Desperately. Is it because he misses Della and they remind him of Della? Dunno, the show never confirms anything. They spent last season HINTING that Della and Gyro had a relationship of some kind. Anatognistic or Sibling-like but SOMETHING. But the show spent the next two seasons, IGNORING all that setup.
It's clear that he's coming on too strong and Louie is not about that. ( Shere contrast between roleplay and show was starting to get ridiculous. Though, Roleplay is fan-run writing but Frank and Matt had a different vision. That's fine. )
Gyro never feels like an uncle to any of the nephews in the show. The show spends the rest of it's time using Gyro as a plot point. Gyro is basically not in season 3 for the most part. Astro Boyd was the last time he was given any respect. And his relationship with Fenton seems to reset every episode so of course, Fenton would drift farther away from Gyro by the end. In the final credits, Gyro and Fenton never interact again. It's clear that they don't have a relationship outside of co-workers. The show doesn't have time to show Gyro and Fenton interact in positive ways. We never see Fenton get encouragement from him to show Scrooge the new invention Fenton has made.
Fenton by the end, is a full-time employee and probably going to end up leaving McDuck Inc and starting up a new lab with Gandra. That's fine but by the end of Ducktales - The MY FAMILY shot with all these random people tacked on and Gyro standing there with Team Science and Von Drake who he's LITERALLY NEVER INTERACTED WITH. IT felt cheap to me?
I mean, There was an ENTIRE EPISODE where the joke was that The family photo included Gyro instead of Donald. Which I just realized... was a JOKE ABOUT DUCKTALES 1987 and how Donald is LITERALLY SHIPPED OFF TO THE NAVY AND LEAVES THE KIDS WITH HIS UNCLE. He has a job, and a good relationship with Scrooge...
Donald says the line ' There's no one else I trust ' ... so there's no Della Drama in 1987. Della just isn't there. Della isn't mentioned and she's never a looming threat against the male characters helping to raise these children together. Gyro is there as a family friend who's probably gay but, no one questions it. And the nephews are cordial towards Gyro. He's obviously wanted and included in the family.
Gyro in 1987 is allowed at the family dinner table as a WELCOME GUEST. He's invited to events like weddings. He works freelance, works for both Glomgold and Scrooge. He seems happy.
Donald shows up whenever he's able to come in and is a welcome part of the family.
Compare that to Gyro from 2017 , Barging into the mansion with an invention and the first thing that happens is Louie slamming the door on his face - to '' comedic '' effect.
It's clear that he's not wanted. Launchpad uses him as a weapon,and he just disappears. He was just there to start off the plot and nothing else.
Huey wanted to talk with Gyro but he never showed any interest in the kid. By Astro Boyd, any respect Huey had for Gyro is gone. The only '' character development '' is that Gyro goes from calling Huey ' some kid ' ' Red nephew ' to ' hat nephew '.
And that he seems genuinely concerned about seeing Huey when he's trapped in the Library. But, this feels like a Hail Mary , an Author Saving throw to salvage something from the lack of writing and time required to have the nephews from a close Uncle-Nephew bond with Gyro. Instead, it's just Forced at the end like it'd always been like this and we just didn't see it. It's a lot of telling and not showing.
Even how Gyro and Launchpad interact in the new show is different. In the old one, Gyro snipes at Launchpad just as much as new Gyro but it's clear that this is reciprocated.
First time we see Launchpad in Ducktales 1987, he stomps up to the two of them after Gyro and Scrooge thought he was dead. His scarf is on fire so he blows it out and blows the smoke directly into Gyro's face. This is an establishing moment that tells you straight away what their friendship is. It implies that the ship he crashed was made by Gyro and Launchpad is getting back at Gyro for having him pilot a dangerous ship. ( They have a pre-existing relationship and we're just settling into there lives. )
Compare that to the new show where Gyro calls him ' dummy' and only goes along with the plan to see Mark's new invention because he has obvious unresolved tension with Mark. He's there to save HIS JOB, not save THEIR JOBS.
( 1987 gyro is fun and silly... too )
The relationship with Scrooge and Gyro is a friendship not ... whatever Scrooge and Gyro in the new one supposedly have. They don't seem to be close. Gyro and Scrooge's relationship is more established in the comics but Frank made it seem like those were not CANON... so , I won't talk about them here.
In the show proper we only ever see Scrooge reacting to Gyro's inventions going haywire and Scrooge yelling at Gyro to be nicer.
The first interaction we see of Gyro and Scrooge implies that Scrooge is taking a fatherly role with Gyro but that has been dropped by the time Magica shows up. He FORGOT about Gyro. IF he was really lying to protect Gyro then , why would he FORGET about him? Why isn't there a joke at the end about Scrooge realizing that Gyro is still in the Lake only from Gyro to waltz in soaking wet and grumble about being fine?? ( the writers didn't care enough about including Gyro to include him. )
Nothing.
Also , in Buddy System he completely ignores the fact that he also made GYRO worried about his job in the company. It's only Launchpad. We just see Gyro waiting in the car. ( This is why I wrote that Drabble to give them an argument. Some kind of resolution. But I shouldn't have to create headcanons to smooth out the things left out of the show proper like that. )
Gyro and Scrooge barely interact after season 1. I can't actually remember a time when they interact outside of the FUNNY BIT where Gyro basically tells Scrooge how F-ed they are.
Actually, Scrooge interacts with Gyro more in Outlaw Scrooge than anywhere else, because neither of them seem to know that they're interacting with each other. ( or Gyro knows and is playing it cool. )
I can't help but wonder how much Scrooge left out.
I get it. Gyro was not a main character. Not in the new show. He was a side-character. a plot device. He was only there as an accent to help drive the duck's plot.
Gyro interacts with the characters just enough and then completely backs out of the scene, having full filled his role.
Scrooge can prattle on about how everyone is his family but that's not true.
(( Note that his scene at the ending credits is him, ALONE with Lil'Bulb and Boyd. The only two people who are SHOWN to care about him... are his inventions. LET THAT SINK IN. )
In the end, it was only about the DUCKS. No one else mattered.
for the person who's arguement was ' it's for kids '
I know that , check out the first rant that i reposted here.
I need to re-title that one because it seems like a Bradford post but I mention Gyro quite a lot.
I remember when the fans were constantly drawing fanart of Della hurting Gyro like it was cool and funny... because the fans of Ducktales who were posting to Tumblr were mostly 20-year-olds with a small segment of teenagers who insisted on being labeled as minors but did not pay any attention to content warnings because when you're a teen, you think everything should be open to you and you're insulted if it's not.
( speaking as someone who was once a know-it-all teenager. )
But this is the same show that constantly had Gyro getting hurt for comedy... THIS MAN GOT ELECTROCUTED TWICE.... FOR COMEDY. This man was crushed in a door by a small child as a joke. So ... that whole ' it's for kids ' argument falls flat.
This man had his wrist snapped for comedy. Della could've easily attacked him and it would be in keeping with the show. The nephews or Scrooge could stop her and insist that they work this out. Then cut away if you don't want to deal with the emotions.
The writers set up a potential plot thread and just dropped it after Della came back. Della and Gyro are together in a room with Scrooge and Beakely for two scenes but Della and Gyro don't talk to each other at all. Gyro doesn't even acknowledge her.
They set up that Della and Gyro know each other and never did anything with that.
They wasted potential. That was the point of the rant.
Della and Gyro could've had the same kind of friendship-family relationship as Webby and Dewey and I'd be happy. But instead,the writers never let them interact despite being in the same room.
They played keep away with this plot thread by making the danger too great for them to have the time to talk about anything and instead just expected the fans to assume that Della and Gyro talked off-screen.
But in the impossbin, they have Della still ranting about Gyro like she's got unresolved feelings about him. So it seems like they just never talked ever and never will. ( But it's interesting that the fact Gyro's Gold Tech was used on the rocket and Della mentions them in What Happened to Della Duck but that it's never brought up or shown.
And it's not until Impossbin that Della even Talks about Gyro again. The conflict is never resolved. )
"The man makes you chew black licorice for a decade,… you come up with some insults."
This episode implies that Della and Gyro have never talked it out and only agreed to be civil because the kids or Scrooge.
Scrooge mentally : please just talk it out so I can be free of this torment.
Oh, I forgot that this is a CLONE of Gyro and not really him. That would explain why Della doesn't confront him, but that implies that Della knows Gyro well enough to know if it's him or a copy of him. ( They were siblings... )
( The way Della and Kit interact is basically exactly what I personally wanted to see Gyro and Della interact like. Have her hug him but then punch him for the Black Licorice thing AND put her kids in danger with his experiments. And have Gyro make some kind of passive-aggressive comment about missing her punches but they hurt a lot less. Something Something, you held back.
- let them be friends or siblings. )
And , To be fair, the writers had to scramble in season 3 to collect plot threads.
I can't help but wonder what would have happened if the writers got a season 4.
