In the beginning Donald Duck was part of a golden trio™ consisting of Scrooge, Della, and himself. They went on all sorts of adventures.
But there came a time when Della had just had the triplets, she wanted to give the boys the ⭐stars⭐. This was a plan they’ve been working on for quite sometime, and she wasn’t just going to give it up just because she had kids. This was a huge dream of hers and mama gotta catch those stars, know what I’m saying;)
But Donald already being the over protective uncle he is, had other ideas. He insisted she couldn’t go because it was far too dangerous and risky. She has the triplets now, she can’t just go running off wherever she pleases. She has a family to look after.
But Della being the stubborn duck she is, goes against his wishes and confides in Scrooge. He also agreed with Donald but instead of forbidding her he made sure everything was in proper working order, and safety precautions were taken.
Which I understand his side of the story. He loved Della and he wanted to see her accomplish her dreams. But before he had the chance to test it out himself, y’know to make sure it was a safe thing to do. Della the adrinaline junkie™ stole it and went up into space. She’s like a kid during Christmas. Trying to sneakily unwrap her presents before Christmas day just because they said she can’t. She wanted to prove she could do this.
Despite Scrooge’s best effort, he lost her.
Now Donald was obviously crushed by this, his sister was lost in space, and it was all Scrooge’s fault.
“Your uncle Donald and I never spoke again.”
Donald Duck hung up his adventure coat and raised his sister’s kids all by himself.
Donald sought to himself to raise the boys himself. Sure he could have put them in an orphanage, or foster family, ect. But he didn’t. These eggs are his nephews and he took it upon himself to raise them. He gave up the life he had in order to make sure the triplets had a good one, becoming the legal guardian of the children.
He was there for their first steps
He was always supportive of them no matter how big or little their role in the activity was LIKE THE GODDAMN BEST UNCLE EVER LOOK AT HIS PROUD FACE^^
For the past eleven years, he’s watched these boys go from little hatchlings to amazing boys that he’s so proud of.
He’s always put in the category as “boring” or “lame” by the triplets. They didn’t even want to believe that he once went on adventures with Scrooge claiming, “Uncle Donald has never done anything cool.”
Webby goes on to full fan-girl mode and says, “Donald Duck is one of the most daring adventurer’s of all time!” which is fucking true btw. Goes to show how badass he was. ‘nuff said.
Cuts to:
WHICH IS SO FUCKING ICONIC AND I’LL TELL YOU WHY.
You’ve got to think. They weren’t his eggs, yet he took full responsibility for them once Della disappeared. He gave up the chance to have his own kids with Daisy or whoever the fuck he was fucking at the time was, (maybe he had a side hoe I dunno his life)so he could take care of his sister’s. Sure he didn’t have to, but he wanted to.
This goes to show how much he changed his entire life for these boys. He gave up his life had, could’ve had, for them.
Hell the only reason he even started to speak to Scrooge was for his nephew’s sake. He needed a new job to provide for his family and those lil shits cause too much trouble to be left alone.
The point is he’s amazing and honestly doesn’t get enough recognition for it in my opinion ^^“
