Why Was This Website Created? (The Long Answer)
How Curious Thoughts Became a Fanblog
When the DuckTales reboot was first announced in 2015, I was intrigued. I was always familiar with key characters like Scrooge, Donald and the triplets, but never took the time to really focus on that aspect of that Disney universe. And as a kid, I had never really paid much attention to the original DT. I adored the theme song, but I can't remember really sitting down to watch a full episode of it. Because of this, I considered the possibility of catching it this time around.
Months later, I had gotten a copy of DuckTales Remastered for the Wii U and was very impressed with the quality of the game. And as the premiere date got closer, my curiosity continued to grow with every insight Disney would give us about the show. By this point, I was definitely going to give it a fair chance, so, to prepare myself, I decided to brush up on my Disney Duck knowledge by borrowing books and DVDs from the library. I instantly became hooked! I couldn't believe there was so much lore I was missing out on this whole time!
While I was looking forward to the pilot airing, I was still very nervous about how the show was going to turn out. I was let down by other revivals and couldn't shake off the feeling that I would end up feeling the same about this show too. But, no! “Woo-oo!” surpassed my expectations! The reboot was already showing signs of being fun, thoughtful and exciting! And as someone who had recently found out about Della, earlier in that summer, I couldn’t WAIT to see the mystery around her to finally be explored!
______
As the show started to gain more traction online, I came across a Tumblr post pointing out the similarities between Della’s outfit in the pirate painting and what Launchpad used to wear in the original series. At the end of the post, the user wondered if this was an indication of Launchpad being the twice as mysterious father of the triplets. While not as…vocal as the other fans who came across this, I was not on board with the idea. I thought it ruined the big brother dynamic LP had previously had with the kids. And clothing alone wasn’t enough to determine this, but I figured that there must still be some kind of connection. If they’re both pilots in this universe, why shouldn’t they know each other? Maybe he knew about the father. Maybe Launchpad somehow connected Della and the father together.
Then Della's outfit was changed to something that looked closer to what LP normally wears.
Then in "House of the Lucky Gander!", Launchpad suddenly turned into this heroic character on a mission to check in on his ex-girlfriend.
Then the comics portrayed Della in a way that seemed like she’d get along well with Launchpad.
Then somewhere in this, I realized: LP's ex seemed to have gone missing...like Della.
And this was possibly due to a local crime family?
Everything clicked. Launchpad previously having a romantic relationship with Della and having something to do with her disappearance, provided a good explanation for some of the decisions the writers were making! Like in the first half of “Woo-oo!” when Launchpad tried to start a conversation with Scrooge. It seemed like he wanted something from him…was he trying to pry for information about Della? Was he encouraging Scrooge to come out of retirement so that he could help him look for Della? Was he partially at fault for Della missing and wanted the job to help make it up to her family?
It looked a lot like this was going somewhere after all! But even though I was convinced, I didn’t want to ship them. It was too early in the season…and the idea of Launchpad being a father? It sounded kinda ridiculous…but it’s funny! And it worked way too well here! My skepticism was losing the fight to investigate this even further and I couldn’t stop my brain from overflowing with all the ideas I could draw about this…
When November got closer, someone on Tumblr had put together a duck-themed prompt list challenge for other users to participate in. The prompt for the 18th day called for Duck Shipping and I wanted to use this as an opportunity to reveal what I thought about Delpad. But when the time came to post it, I hesitated. How exactly was I going to talk about my father theory? I didn't want to just post the drawing without a proper explanation behind it. I didn’t want it to come off as me randomly putting two characters together just because. There was a significant meaning behind this action. So, I thought it would be best to hold off on it until I was able to figure out a plan.
While in the process of organizing my notes, I noticed that a Delpad comic by a user named HeyThatsDeep, was gaining traction on Tumblr. Others were adding on to what she created and began to make posts of their own, expressing interest in the couple. I was so surprised by the amount of fans that were having similar thoughts about them! My plan wasn’t ready, but I couldn’t keep quiet anymore; I went ahead and started liking and reblogging everything!
When December came around, I finally posted my last Duckvember illustration, and..it went pretty well! I also posted it to the Disney fan account I was running on Instagram and it made it to the Top Posts for both Della and Launchpad’s hashtags! Made me kinda nervous…but it was still very cool to see! I didn’t think my post would get that far…
Even though I was able to give people an idea of where I was coming from with my drawing, I still felt like it would be better to have a separate place for all the thoughts I wanted to share. And not just about Delpad, but about the show in general; the whole show was (and still is) FILLED with elements just asking to be evaluated! I wanted to discuss my own findings and add on to other things fans had pointed out.
I didn’t want them to merge 'n' get buried with the other things on my main blog and letting them spill into my Instagram comments wasn't cutting it. So, on January 28th, 2018, I created my very first (and probably my last) side-blog:
✨ Bold De-Ducktion Never Fails! ✨
I settled on this name because I thought it was a good summary of what my blog was about and what I intended to do with it.
It’s based on a line from the theme song, my strongest memory of the original show. It reflects how much I love it and you can tell right off the bat that this is a very DuckTales-centered space
Like the characters in the show, I wanted to solve mysteries too. I was going to use this place to gathering up potential evidence and deduce these things to the most likely scenario
It’s punny! And catchy! It matched the silly nature of the other DT-related content I wanted to share along the way
Once the main things were established, I posted my very first installment of my essay series, Launchpad’s Association with Della Duck. Over the following months, I spent my time posting drawings, edits, passing on Disney Duck related news and adding updates to my theory. BDDNF accidentally became a bit more of a Delpad sideblog than anything else, but gosh dang it, it was such a fun motivator for me.
_____
In May of 2019, the show was about to reach the midpoint of Season 2. And while “Last Crash” and “The Shadow War” from the previous season did challenge my theory a little, I continued to stay in the belief that LP & Della knew each other. The episode description for "Nothing Can'' surfaced with a batch of other episodes and the vague wording of it made fans wonder if Della had successfully made it back to her family or not. I didn't believe Della would immediately come home, I thought she'd get lost on Earth and make her way home at the end of the season or show. But a preview clip released by IGN soon proved I was wrong about this concept getting dragged out. So, I switched gears and prepared to see Launchpad play a surprising part in the long-awaited family reunion. I always figured that if he and Della did have a history, reuniting would be a really big deal…it felt kinda underwhelming for them to have this type of moment so soon instead of somewhere later on. But the potential evidence was continuing to pile up. Something important had to happen here.
The episode aired and it looked like the skeptical side of me had won. I was crushed. I tried to encourage myself to accept it was over…but something about this wasn't sitting well with me. Like for one...why did Della want to name two of her kids “Jet” and “Turbo”? These weren’t just pilot-related names, they were a couple of the names Launchpad is known for in other languages. Jet is a real name, so that’s understandable. But Turbo too? In a show where both of these names already had a historical meaning? This was feeling a little too deliberate…why would the writers make Della want to basically name her kids...after Launchpad…without knowing who he was?
As I continued to think about this, I somehow made a connection between the grouping of Della, Penumbra and Lunaris with Duke, Fisher, and Mann. Something about it felt like there was a parallel going on. Then I started thinking about one of the pilots having amnesia and sometime after, looking differently than they were last seen. This eventually led me back to “The Depths of Cousin Fethry!”. Mitzi was unrecognizable at first when she reunited with Fethry. And he was a Duck Cousin who was isolated in a cold, dark environment for years…
At some point, there was a discussion within the Delpad Fan circle I had joined, about Mitzi and if her story was possibly hinting at Della becoming a monster too. Like a wendigo, due to her obsession and desperation with getting back home. But what if these instances were hinting towards Launchpad being a monster? He made a lot of sense for this too; back in Season 1, he went through this whole fuss about mole monsters and later questioned whether he was one of them. It could’ve also worked in a figurative sense; was he a monster for not being there for his family? For being the cause of Della’s disappearance? I had previously wondered if that meant something, but I wasn’t sure if I was able to figure out exactly what…was there a connection here?
After Fethry realized who Mitzi truly was, he made a remark on how much she changed. Mitzi had gotten bigger since the last time he saw her due to the chemicals in the hydrothermal vents. And there was a theory floating around about Della getting superpowers from the cosmic storm, like The Fantastic 4 or Captain Marvel. The show outwardly acknowledged the possibility of this through Huey asking Della about the storm’s effect on her. His question is left open-ended, giving off a bit of a strange, eerie, notion that it wasn’t Della, but someone else…
The idea of Della risking her life in space to save HDL's Dad was another fan theory that was floating around. I was originally against this one too since I thought that would mean LP wasn’t the Dad. But since the meeting didn't go the way I had hoped, this was a good time to reconsider…
An adjustment to my theory basis quickly began to form from these factors:
Della took the Spear and went into the cosmic storm to save the father of the triplets
The chemicals in the storm mutated the father’s body and turned him into Launchpad
The whole Space experience was so traumatic, it left him amnesic
Della can’t recognize him and he can’t remember her
This made a LOT more sense! Now the trouble spots left over from the first iteration, had a better explanation behind them! Did anyone else think of combining the theories together like this?! I had to make this known! So, with new realizations to share, I went back to updating my Association series and didn't bother to check responses in social spaces until I was done with the installment.
______
When I created my DuckTales blog, I thought I was being helpful with my findings. Della was being brought into the foreground, so, naturally, people were very eager to know what the reboot had in store for Mr.Duck. And here, was this big, yet very subtle thing, developing on the side, that most weren't paying attention to! I shared parts of this info wherever people were discussing HDL’s Dad, hoping to find other people who also liked the idea and matched my excitement for it. I don't remember ever being forceful towards people who were never interested in a Delpad connection. I was just saying “Hey, based on how the show is setup, it's a pretty strong possibility!”.
In the process, I came to discover that there were some fans who wanted Donald to be seen as the one and ONLY father option for the triplets. And they were very serious about it. Other fans didn’t want it to be canon because they were already shipping the pilots with other characters. And some fans just…didn't like the idea. Maybe they thought it was too ridiculous, in a bad way. Or they preferred the father to be a completely separate entity.
As someone who didn’t like Delpad at first, I could understand the dislike of the idea to an extent, but…there were some harsh comments and claims about us supporters coming from certain parts of this crowd…it made it harder to search for positive content of our ship. We were made out to be a bunch of annoying fans, who were making stuff up and being random, when there were a lot of solid points to build off of.
(I remember seeing something along the lines of us not caring about Della being a mom to her kids...? I don't...what?! How does trying to figure out if she dated Launchpad or hoping that they become a family, is us "not caring"?! Having them parent the triplets together is part of the appeal; I don't think any Delpadder holds that weird sentiment. This person was either coming up with desperate excuses to hate on us or they completely misinterpreted our posts...)
When you're a fan of something where the overarching story takes multiple parts to play out, and there are hiatuses in between these releases, you're going to have limited amount of knowledge on what's going to happen before the end. Some may try to figure things out during those pauses, and because of the limited information that was given, their guesses are bound to come off as weird or embarrassing. People become irritated. I get it. But YEESH! The way some responded to the very idea of Della and Launchpad being connected in any kind if way...especially if it wasn't platonic...it was as if we conjured up something so incredibly offensive, that it didn't deserve to be talked about. Or that giving Mr. Duck any thought outside of the family trees he appeared in, wasn't valid.
People have been wondering about Huey, Dewey and Louie’s father for decades. Providing an answer to
The reboot is an alternate version of DuckTales, not a replacement of the original. Because these aren't the definite versions of the pre-existing characters, a big decision like this isn't going to be made permanent. Launchpad and Della’s relationship more than likely would have just stayed within this show and had a very small chance of carrying over. (If it did manage to carry over, I highly doubt Launchpad would be made the biological father.) Was it really that bad and horrible for two pilots to be together in this one universe…?
I tried my best to push past the negativity and just focused on observing the show. I humored myself here and there about how the couple was “cursed” because of this, but at the rate things were going, it was really starting to feel like that. After releasing my essay update, I was told that a lot of Delpadders were being made fun of because of "Nothing Can". This shamed some of them out of the Launchdad theory and confused others who wanted to hang on to it. The expectation of the pilots meeting, versus the way the show presented it, was so jarring, the supporters weren't sure how to perceive it now. Most either dropped the whole relationship, moved to the potential stepdad belief, or hoped there’d at least be a friendship.
My plan to stay focused, proved to be a good one. I already had an idea of what the fandom's reaction would be to that meeting scene...I didn't need it to distract me and bring me down. As disappointing as it was to come back to something a bit worse that I was imagining, I still stayed determined. I even started to work on putting the next essay together!
I had been waiting this whole time to see Della’s story unravel and once I considered Launchpad possibly being a part of it, I reminded myself to be patient. The season was ending but the show wasn't over yet; there was a whole 'nother season on the way. This might be the end of the show due to Disney's three season rule, so surely this one would give me answers for the things I was wondering about. I just had to keep hanging in there...
But the frustrations in the background were becoming harder to ignore...
In addition to this, there were many Antis who took notice of cast and crew members expressing their personal opinions about the show, joking around, or showing interest in their fan-works, without always clarifying if these things were going to be canon. Because these people worked so closely with the show, there were fans that didn't bother to think twice. These actions were treated as if they were solid fact and embolden these fans to believe they had an advantage over everyone else.
With one side being hostile, another side not being careful about how their actions were affecting the fandom, AND the show not giving Delpadders a loud-enough reason to keep supporting the ship, the pressure was becoming too much to bear.
In early August of 2019, I finally reached my breaking point.
I posted "Making Amends" to my side-blog, released a statement basically saying that I didn't want to deal with this anymore and shut down both my Disney Fan Instagram and Twitter accounts.
Making this decision, put me in a very sad state. I loved the show. I loved making content and keeping people informed about it. I hated having to pull myself away from it all, but what was the point in sticking around if I no longer found enjoyment in these things? Nothing I had to offer felt like it mattered anymore. Every interesting thing I wanted to bring up was just going to be ignored. My refusal to give up on Delpad was only going to continue to make me a target for bullying. It wasn't worth the anxiety and stress...
I thought I would never get back into DuckTales after this. But reflecting on the things I observed, didn't keep me down for long. As September grew closer, I found myself making so many new realizations left and right! They fascinated me so much, that I didn't want to keep them to myself. So, in early September, I gained the courage to start posting to my side-blog again. But things were going to be different. This time, I was going to keep everything contained. No more hinting or expressing my theory in other HDL Father conversations on the site. And definitely no more browsing through the tags.
While I was making posts again, I also got back to working on the next installment for my essay. I was really hoping to have it finished before Season 2 ended, but the job I had at the time, and my initial plans to quit, held me back. There was way too much to finalize in the days that were left. I was upset about that but got over it and just let the rest of the season air.
In spite of there being signs of hope, things didn't get all that much better…Season 2 ended with multiple people being disgruntled with Launchpad's seemingly random crush on Penumbra. I was upset too, but later figured it was eventually going to lead into Delpad. It had to have been done for a reason; this must have been meant to open up Launchpad's dating history the writers were slowly building on.
Because of my decision to stay out of the tags, and to shut down my Disney Twitter account, I had no idea the fandom drama had reached its peak until a few days or so after the incident had passed. I was informed about the Shipping Antis becoming so mad, that they planned to sabotage a harmless Delpad event. They stole the drawing prompt list the admins created for it and changed it to "jokes" to counteract the submissions. They were also preparing to flood the tags with posts of their ships to make it even harder to find genuine content. (And to taunt participants, I'm sure.) But before they were able to get far, some crew members had to come out and tell them to knock it off.
To this day, I still can't believe they took their hatred to such a ridiculous level instead of just making use of blocking features...y'know, like any other person on the internet would when they see something they don't like...they really went out of their way to turn our enthusiasm into a contest for control...While I was very disgusted to hear about the situation, I was relieved that...at least maybe we wouldn't have to tolerate bad behavior from fans, as much, going forward.
Later on in the year, I gave my next essay installment another try. I took all of my feelings of anger and confusion and channeled it into getting the post finished before the Season 3 premiere. It was the hardest I've ever shredded through a typed piece of work in my entire life, lol. But it ultimately wasn't enough to have it done this time either...that turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
While Season 3 felt a bit off, it still had some pretty interesting moments. I found a lot to support my theory, like the story beats for "The Trickening!", and continued to type out my thoughts. During the second half, I had noticed that Launchpad and Della weren't showing up together. Launchpad's appearances had stopped dramatically after "Let's Get Dangerous!". The two-parter established that he wasn't going to move out of Duckburg to go live in St. Canard, but with his absence, it surely felt like it...How were the pilots going to become a couple with all these missed opportunities to bond? Would they really cram it all into the finale...? Even though the situation was looking...odd, I kept believing we would see it all sorted out...somehow. The reboot's cancellation was confirmed in December of the previous year. This was going to be the last batch of episodes for the entire show. If Launchpad was the father of the triplets, this was the perfect season to reveal that!
But instead, it ended with the most devastating blow of all...
No mention of HDL's father...Della and LP hardly interacted...and Webby got revealed as Scrooge's clone child.
I was heartbroken. Nothing about this felt right at all...was I really wrong this whole time? Why would the showrunners want to end the show...like this?! There were SOOOO many things they could have done with Della and Launchpad, whether it be romantic or not, and yet, they decided to keep them in this weird, uncomfortable state where every bit of progress drops back down to zero?? FOR WHAT?! It was so easy to settle Della’s misunderstanding about getting replaced, but the writers stalled around and mainly kept them separated from each other...what was with all the hesitancy in allowing them to develop, if they don't have any significant history to keep quiet about in the show? They put alllllll this thought and effort into other areas of production but could hardly come up with ANYTHING for the pilots who are supposed to be working together...?!
During one of my more positive moods, I gained the motivation to try switching my side-blog to another platform. If there was a possibility that I would pick my essay back up, I needed a more comfortable place to do it. Most of the problems I had been encountering with Delpad were coming from Tumblr and Twitter. And since I was still on the former, were there were more likely to be people who easily accepted what the show put out, and probably argue with me, I needed an escape. There was also a crackdown on the number of images you can have per blog post at the time, that prevented me from publishing the essay drafts I had saved, and I wasn't shaving anything down to meet with it!
Looking around led me to Blogger and reminded me of the Lion King blogsite I once had ambitions of creating, years earlier. Since that dream was over, it wasn't going to be in use, so, I thought it would be best to modify it for my new DuckTales plans. As I used a previously published essay to test the site out, I realized that this was quite the move from Tumblr's features...my inexperience made everything feel clunky in comparison. I didn't like the results I was getting...and once the emotional baggage surrounding Delpad started to set it again, I quit.
______
I continued to create DT art, in spite of my sadness, and played around with an alternate timeline where the clone stuff didn't happen, but eventually got into other things...I became interested in an old show I used to watch...I got into a new show...developed an appreciation for food mascots, heh...gave my original characters some long-needed attention, even created new ones for a business I wanted to pursue. I just wanted to forget about Delpad & DuckTales. Every time these thoughts came up, I quickly replaced it with whatever I was into at the time. I thought it was best to stuff it down. I told myself it was a lost cause, to get over it, to move on. There was nothing else I could do. I didn't want to be sad and mad anymore.
When I heard about an artbook being made for the DuckTales reboot, all the interest I had in seeing one years prior, was pretty much gone. Like, my excitement evaporated within two seconds after the announcement. I was convinced that anything I wanted to know more about, would not be discussed. I wasn't going to hype myself up just to end up feeling the same way I felt after the finale was over.
Sometime after its release in the Fall, and the panel promoting the book, I began to see statements from fans about how the show's cancellation had affected Season 3. The showrunners were hoping for a fourth season that focused on Webby's origins and presumably afterwards, a Darkwing Duck spin-off, but Disney's decision to conclude the show prevented these plans from happening. So instead, Season 4's elements became shared with Season 3. The clone twist with Webby was saved as a Plan B in case the show didn't get greenlit again like they anticipated.
So...there really was something else that they were building up to, on the side, that would have gotten revealed at the end of Season 3, if things had gone the way that they wanted...?
If they had to compromise ideas between the two seasons, and Clone!Webby wasn't what they were going to go for, could that mean that the intended ending for Season 3, was easy to swap out with a father reveal...involving three kids?
Yeeeah...this...completely undercut everything that was said to sell the finale. I was relieved that I was right about there being something wrong, but still upset the show was left like this with no way to quickly fix it. Why did Webby have to be a blood heir? Wouldn't an adoptive one work just as well with the loophole nature of the Papyrus? Did "dad" have to be said to give us an idea of what they were originally going to do? Was all of this essentially just more hinting? I had noticed that the potential Delpad stuff I caught, wasn't taken out, it was only buried...was this Plan B chosen so that if the show
I was back to needing a new place to express myself. But if Tumblr was out of the question, and Blogger was too clunky...where would I go? And...did I really want to pick this back up again? It would be a whole lot of work towards something that most didn't care about...my fandom experience and the show left me feeling so tired...was all this effort even worth my time?
My motivation was waning again, but I had already had a desire to make some kinda site anyway. Searching around again would still be useful to me. I started my second attempt, and I somehow found my way to a site called "Neocities", an unofficial revival of a popular webhosting site, GeoCities. This newer site aimed to bring back the fun and individuality that the older era of internet used to have. As I browsed through, I was very impressed and inspired by what others were able to do with it. It was incredibly tempting to join, but I would have to make a monthly payment to get the best out of the features provided. And literally building a website from scratch sounded waaay too intimidating for someone who's hardly scratched the surface of coding...Blogger was free, it used HTML too and didn't seem to have a limited storage space...I thought that maybe I should look into it again to practice learning the language.
One of these nights, after looking through more Neocities examples, and thinking about what websites I could make, everything started to come together: Blogger used HTML. Tumblr had a dropdown menu that allowed you to view blog posts in HTML. I didn't have to struggle with copy and pasting from my side-blog directly from the compose view or the published post, I just had to grab the coded version of it and put that into Blogger! And I could use other HTML codes as a base and do something cool with it to further customize my site! I could make this work!!!
(Heh, I was laying down, trying to go to sleep and my eyes immediately opened at the thought of being able to pick my project back up like this. I was so excited, it was hard to settle down again! I couldn't wait to put this plan into action!)
In February of 2024, I came back to my Blogger site, determined to understand the host better. Copying the HTML didn't always give smooth results, I did have to rework certain things to get better formatting, but hey, there was no way I could download my side-blog info and hook it up to Blogger without things getting
This time around, I was going to be VERY intentional with it. Now that I was on a different platform, I could be as bold about it as I wanted to be, without feeling like I'm annoying other fans or being all that concerned about my content catching the wrong attention! The vibe here would be very different in comparison to me wanting to hold back outside of my essays.
So, I decided the name
πWritten in The Starsπ
I wanted to make this name the url as well, but I thought it would be too long. I shortened it to WITS, which also could have fit the theming, but it was too simplistic.
So, I went for the more unique and not-too-long of a name,
π delpad-theory π
to make things easier.
On April 15, 2024, I began to share my blog with others through social media. On June 16th, 2024, I made it available to search engines. And on November 18, 2024, I finally released the essay installment.

Throughout most of the show's run, I was rooting for writers to deliver on Dad's mystery and encouraged other fans to believe they knew what they were doing. I never anticipated be angry and disappointed in the end.
The Plan B cancellation info added on to the feeling, but later, helped me to develop a better understanding. I know things definitely don't always go the way I originally plan...maybe some things were said or done to protect the secret... maybe some members didn't know about the show possibly leading into that...maybe the time and budget provided during production, wasn't enough to tell the story properly and they tried their best to work around it. And maybe they want to be more transparent about what happened, but they can't. Building up to something for years, and then not being able to resolve it, is painful. It's hard to believe that anyone who knew about the intentions for Delpad happening, and gladly contributed to it, wouldn't be upset over this too...
It's gotten very hard to determine if DuckTales has any possibility of coming back. We've gotten newer content and acknowledgements of the show since the finale, but it feels like a lot of it only exists to help promote the EPCOT attraction...Launchpad and Della have shown up in some of these things, but they're usually separated, giving us zero interaction...(Strange, isn't it?) It's also hard to imagine that if they did interact, that it wouldn't be something negative...
Delpad already feels rare. Without the show being active, nothing new outside to fuel it, and next to no one catching onto hints, this ship is going to fade away into obscurity. And it doesn't deserve that! Della and Launchpad being together is too good of an idea to give up on and to just forget about! If what the showrunners were going to do with them is anything like what I've been theorizing, then that would have made for a really cool story! It takes what we know about The Spear incident and enhances it with a long-awaited answer to a Disney-Duck-relevant question. No one's ever bothered to do something like this before! What both these aspects deserve, is to have a place where it can be appreciated.
The treatment a lot of us got for being Delpad fans was extremely unfair, but it doesn't have to stay a miserable experience. I still have SO much I want to say about them! I should be able to express it in a place I mainly created for myself, to share with others who have been curious about them too.
I want to show how the series could very well have been setting Launchpad and Della up for something meaningful. If I somehow end up wrong about everything...then I'm showing how the series could have done this while incorporating themes from the show. I want to help those who are confused by this ship. That maybe this site will help to minimize any future malice from those who think Delpad is this impossible thing that was pulled out of nowhere.
I've come back to using my side-blog again (and continue to stay out of the tags) but it's not my first priority for my content anymore. Now that I have this place, I don't have as much of a desire to be direct, I already got to say it somewhere. I can start off saying whatever I want here, and then choose how I want to redact it in reposts elsewhere. It makes this blog an extra special find, heh.
I can also take my time here; if I'm running late to post a drawing, and the description is holding me up, I can just post the drawing anyway and finish the description later! It's easier to do this in a more closed off space where there's not as much pressure to have everything completed. It feels nice.
I never thought
I love tending to this digital garden! I want to keep it going for many, many years to come!
But I know life doesn't work that way.
There are other aspirations I want to do alongside it, and I fear that one day, some of them will pull me away...either by absorbing all of my time or slowly causing me to lose interest...I can't dwell on this too hard, though. I've yet to reach this point, and I have over a hundred drafts on my dashboard, so...I guess we'll see how everything goes and have fun while it lasts.
