Now I have to make a post about Scrooge McDuck and Glittering Goldie. Oh Lord.
Scrooge McDuck always was a adventurer; he really loves money, but the most important thing for him (how Don Rosa make clear in several situations) is the adventure, the emotion of the victory, or the emotion of the try.
Well, Scrooge and Goldie meeting in Klondike, when Scrooge was poor and when he digging for gold, and she was a chorister of a Saloon in the city.
Oh well, every duck fan knows how they meeting. He forced she to work to him after she tried steal his gold for a month, and after it, they started a ‘cat and mouse game’.
The two were known as “ice heart”, and everyone thinks that both she and him just used the other, because love couldn’t exist between they.
In the last meeting of them, in beautiful story by Don Rosa, Glittering Golden sent Scrooge a letter, that the story let implicit that talked about her feelings for him.
And Scrooge said this heartbreaker line, “Maybe it’s nicer to pretend that there’s one person in this sorry world…that I might…that I can…” and left the letter in the snow, without open it.
So, the years run. Scrooge becames rich and never talk with Goldie again. He never married, either she. In a Carl Bark’s story, they meeting again, and well, is absolutely obvious for me that both still love the other.
Here’s the beauty. They both are ambitious, cold, selfish, stubborn. Both put their ambitions in front of any feeling. Both are to selfish and awful for love.
That’s why they’re soulmates. They really understand the other in a way that nobody could do. They understand the other so bad that knows why they can’t be together.
But nothing prevents random flirtations… well, one of the only straight couple that I ship. They’re ducks, right, but whatever.

Saddest thing ever. Period.
Maybe it’s nicer to pretend that there’s one person in this sorry world…that I might…that I can…
I don’t know if I ever talked about it here, but I’m absolutely in love with Scrooge McDuck, and his story with Glittering Goldie is one of the strongest and striking love stories of my childhood (and my life, I have to admit).
