I'm not pairing up Donald and Daisy, I've seen them be terrible to one another. And it's just not in Donald's nature to "get the prize" in the end. I want to give Daisy some agency, after decades of being treated as an object and a prize for men. Introducing a bisexual relationship for her is not only provocative, it also fits with the endless heeing and humming in her relationships with men.
Oh, "which characters do you think are queer?" could be a thread of its own (…and we may have had one already that I forgot) but I completely agree that a bi Daisy works quite well. I do, however, also think that Donald and Daisy are as right for each other as it's going to get — they're both very flawed, but in such similar ways that this precisely means that they can understand each other perfectly when all is said and done.

There already is a thread for that. It trailed off into a Dickie Duck discussion.
(BTW, the Q-word has a lot of baggage among the community... I think it's only acceptable in term 'genderqueer', but of course the debate is not entirely settled. I'd probably just stick with "gay" as a catch-all term.)

I don't think we've had that thread as such? We've got this thread (which is the one that came to focus on Dickie) about actual LGBTQ representation in Disney comics, but that's distinct from a fanfictionny "with the understanding that there's no canon evidence of it, which characters do you like to headcanon as [something]?".
(BTW, the Q-word has a lot of baggage among the community... I think it's only acceptable in term 'genderqueer', but of course the debate is not entirely settled. I'd probably just stick with "gay" as a catch-all term.)
I know some people don't like it applied to them, but equally some people don't like the acronym. I used "queer" because it's the one that tends to be used in my own circles, more than for any other particular reason. Bah.
Huey, Dewey and Louie are, by now, either in charge of McDuck Enterprises, or (if they let Dickie have it/if Dickie chose to have it) the joint grandmasters of the Junior Woodchucks. Either way, they gear their research towards space travel. Sheer progressivism? A wish to follow in the footsteps of their "late" mother? Or have they got reason to believe that she may be out there, somewhere? They're not telling — but it is thanks to them that humanity finally makes stable, recognized contact with alien life, if only within the Solar System. The envoys of Earth, the civility of whose inhabitants has been talked up by Muchkale following the whole 20th-Carat Moon thing, receive a hero's welcome on Venus, and Donald's past adventures (*cough* Uncle Scrooge's Money Rocket *cough*)also ensure no conflict is had with Jupiter. Saturn, on the other hand, remains what it always was, and it is the Woodchuck Space Fleet which ends up leading the final assault against an aging but still altogether bloodthirsty Rebo, ending with Rebo being flung into the Sun, his genocidal tyranny ended once and for all.
I don't think we should accept Rebo stories as part of Barks/Rosa canonicity, since Scrooge in those stories is more like his Martina self. Unless you theorize that the ducks met Rebo under different circumstances in Barks/Rosa universe.

Whatever gave you the impression that I was writing for the Barks/Rosa universe? I am (almost) never writing for the Barks/Rosa universe. My default setting is "every story ever is canon".
Of course, however, that does not prevent me from having ideas about how things could go if the Unaging Effect stopped working with no one the wiser, or if it had never started existing in the first place. In such a scenario (but that's firmly an AU in my mind), Scrooge does finally propose to Goldie; the Money Bin is moved one last time, to an underground cache beneath White Agony Creek, where the happy couple spend their vacations — though Goldie does still run her hotel in Dawson with the help of Scrooge's business advice.
My initial idea was that the Money Bin would just stay as it is, in Duckburg and on Killmotor Hill. I honestly hadn't thought of it, or at least, the countless coins and mementos it holds, being moved to the Yukon with Scrooge, but I quite like the idea. It's hard to imagine Scrooge letting go of his daily money swims, and my understanding is that Scrooge's attachment to the contents of his bin is largely sentimental. The message of Last Sled to Dawson, Scrooge's "end" in my headcanon, is not that memories are bad and should be left behind, but that memories are sweet and are to be treasured. Honestly, it only makes sense from that standpoint that Scrooge does bring the either the bin or the mementos in it with him when he leaves to be with Goldie. I like your idea! It works well.
Also, since my headcanon doesn't include much about the future of Mouse characters, I'm happy to mostly accept your ideas for that, too. I like that Mickey becomes Chief of Police for Mouseton and finds a new rival in the Phantom Blot's daughter. It's a very neat idea.
Hard to imagine anyone keeping Grandma Duck's farm going in the 21st century, unless they run it as an organic farm that supplies the Duckburg farmers market. On the whole, her beloved animals would not survive her, so it's Eggetha's free-range descendants who lay the eggs for the market.
I agree with the sentiment that Grandma Duck's farm may not survive for very long after her death. Fethry running it is a fun idea, but I guess I see Fethry as not really settling down anywhere until the 1970's, while I imagine Grandma Duck sometime in the late 1950's, very shortly after the "present-day". I don't think Gus will be too interested in managing it after her death, and I can't think of any character who would want to run it. I reckon, as sad it is may sound, that it will be sold following her death. The barns and her home will be torn down, and someone will buy the property to became something else out of it. Maybe sometime later, wealthy businessmen Huey, Dewey, and Louie will buy the property back and lovingly rebuild the farm exactly as it was initially built as a memorial to their beloved great-grandmother. Hm... and maybe, just maybe, on June 18, 1988, they reopen the farm as a petting zoo.
Anyways, I've been mulling over some of my own ideas and coming up with some new ones. I got to thinking about Gyro and his life. As I've already alluded to, he'll marry sometime in the 1950's or early 1960's to someone (Magica? Dana Data? Matilda? "Lorella" on Gilles Maurice's tree who I know nothing else about?) and have at least one child, a daughter. In 1965, Huey and Louie become the heads of McDuck Industries (Dewey declines to take the position as he has decided to join the Air Force instead), and they immediately begin giving Gyro more money and resources. They buy him a new, huge laboratory and hire dozens of scientists and inventors to work under his supervision. They also promote not just Gyro's inventions but Gyro himself more than ever before, turning the bird into something of a celebrity scientist. Gyro's name begins to be known worldwide as reporters try every day to get an interview from "the greatest inventor alive today".
Gyro is happy about all this at first, feeling that his work is finally receiving the appreciation it deserves, but soon realizes that this life isn't for him. He's much happier just being in his shack, without any reports, any cameras, any high-tech labs, or a team of scientists demanding his attention and supervision. He'd rather it just be him and Little Helper, doing what they've always done. He relays this to Huey and Louie, and they understand. They disband the lab and begin encouraging reports to not bother Gyro, though not all of them adhere to that advice. However, they insist and paying Gyro a generous sum for his work. Perhaps he would refuse, but I think the fact that he has at least one child to provide for causes him to accept the money. By the end of his live, he is a very wealthy man but still continues to live the same simplistic lifestyle that he did back in the 1940's and 1950's.
I had initially reckoned that he would live to be quite old, perhaps making it to 120 and being the oldest man in the world at the time of his death. I have changed my mind, and now imagine that he will die sometime in the 1990's or 2000's. He will die from a tragic accident that occurred while he was working on his magnum opus, the penultimate Gearloose invention, something guaranteed to change the world. What was this invention? No one in his family knows. He was secretive about it, wanting to surprise them. He left behind many notes, but all the notes are a little bit vague and quite confusing to anyone lacking Gyro's intelligence, leaving the world in the dark as to what Gyro's final invention would have been.
You may recall my headcanon that Gyro's daughter and Donald's son will fall in love and will have a son. After thinking about it more, I think this son will have a relationship with Maui Mallard, or whatever character fills the role of "Donald's grandson through his daughter", that mirrors Gladstone and Donald's relationship. Gyro's grandson, who I'll temporarily call "Dominus Duck" until I come up with a better name, doesn't have Gladstone's luck, but he does have a rivalry with Maui and, like Gladstone, has more advantages in life. He's unbelievably smart, with an intelligence rivaling that of Grandpa Gyro's, handsome, charismatic, ambitious, and even has some wealth to his name. Unlike Gladstone, who lacks ambition and isn't particularly malevolent, Dominus thrives for more money and more power. He learned about "get rich quick schemes" as a kid from Grandpa Donald and maybe inherited some greed from Grandma Magica. As an adult, he uses technology to commit robberies and other crimes. Sometime around 2020, he makes it his goal to finish Gyro's last invention and use it to illegally attain even more for himself. I think it will ultimately be up to Maui and his girlfriend Hernae to stop Dominus before it's too late.
Also, since Maui bears the surname Mallard, I've wondered if maybe his father is a certain Drake Mallard. I don't see Darkwing Duck as occurring within the same headcanon that I'm currently discussing, but maybe there is a Drake Mallard/Darkwing Duck counterpart in this universe bearing the same name. Alternatively, maybe Darkwing Duck exists in this universe the same way I believe DuckTales to, as a TV series based on real events. I've already toyed with the idea that Maui's mother is an actress who portrayed Loopy McQuack. Maybe she met Drake Mallard, a superhero who plays a slightly fictionalized version of himself on Darkwing Duck, and the two conceived Maui. I don't know for sure about that, but I wanted to put the idea out there.
No matter what I say or do, know that Jesus loves you.
Wait, isn't Rosa's A Letter From Home supposed to be set in 1955? A year after Last Sled to Dawson's 1954? How can Last Sled be the last we see of Scrooge then? Or is A Letter From Home vague enough to have a potential '54-setting? I don't remember.

Anyways, here's a future-idea: Grandma dies a few minutes after "the present", which would be somewhere in the 1950s. There is a funeral and everyone attending is sad. Gus Goose tries to run the farm by himself, but he's so lazy that he just falls asleep all over the place. Nothing gets done, and the farm is effectively closed down. Gus continues to sleep. Meanwhile, Scrooge has invested in nuclear energy, since it's the 50s, and he needs to place his waste somewhere. "Why not the abandoned farm?," he thinks to himself. So he dumps the stuff, and then drives off.
The next day, Gus wakes up in the pool of nuclear waste. He goes about his day like usual, but notices that he has started growing. Not just in size, oh no - he has also grown a lizard-like tail, and where his beak once was, he now finds sharp teeth. He screams in chock, and accidentally releases a fiery beam of radioactivity. Yes, Gus has transformed into a 50 feet tall Goose-zilla. Around noon, Gus starts to gradually lose his mind, and soon enough all he can think of is to destroy Duckburg. Scrooge says "Oh no", and Gyro agrees. "Oh no, indeed." But Gyro is a man of action, so he upgrades his Little Helper into a Larger Helper. Goose-zilla and Larger Helper fight. Gyro yells "Now witness the power of over 2000 galaxies combined!", but Goose-zilla retorts "No."
All seems lost, but Gyro activates his secret weapon - the Mecha-Bin, which is just the Money Bin with mechanical limbs. The Bin fires its Boer war cannon, which effectively ends the conflict. However, the Bin develops consciousness and becomes the new god of Duckburg. The town is renamed Binburg, over a lengthy legal process which is covered in a mini-series spanning 5 issues. After that, the status quo of Disney-comics have been really shaken up, yet this is the status quo that remains for the next few decades of Disney-comics.
On a more serious note, I'll do my current head-canon for Goofy's post-present too.
In the strips, Goofy is dating Glory-Bee. In my head-canon, she's Max's mother, so she'll become pregnant soon after "the present".
Now, it has bothered me that Goofy has different names for a long time. At first, his full name is Dippy Dawg. Then he becomes closer friends with Mickey and company, and they start calling him Goofy. That's fine, that's Dippy "Goofy" Dawg. But in the 50s-cartoons (which I consider to feature the same character), he's George Geef. Now, I think "George" is a perfect name for Goofy. He just looks like a George to me. And the Goofy-nickname would come quite natural to anyone with his personality and it's quite close to his last name. But he can't be both Dippy Dawg and George Geef.
So here's my slightly fan-ficcy suggestion of how to "solve" this issue. (This might seem irrelevant to the thread, but hey - it's about a character's future and it's head-canon-related... and I don't know where else to talk about this.)
Some modern comics give Goofy's full name as Goofus D Dawg. The D is probably short for Dippy, but I don't like that "Goofus". His parents didn't know about his personality when they named him! And isn't the whole family supposed to be a bit wacky? No, let's instead say his full name is George Dippy Dawg. As Goofy realizes that he is about to become a father, he decides to go out and get a job. At the job interview, he has to write his name on one of those "Hello, my name is (...)" name tags. Rather than Mr Dawg, he writes "Goofy", but he writes too big, and can't fit the Y. Silly Goofy. Also, he writes his Os like a spiral, which look like they could be either an "o" or a lowercase "e". Through a goofy misunderstanding, he gets the job... and also, the employer calls him Mr. Geef.
Then the rest of the Geef cartoons happen, Maximilian George Dawg Junior is born, Glory-Bee dies off-screen. Goof Troop, A Goofy Movie, and An Extremely Goofy Movie all happen, but through a 1960s/1970s filter.
I don't have a clear vision of how Goofy would be as an old man, but it would be perfectly in-character if he grew a long Gandalf-beard that he trips over every now and again.
Wait, isn't Rosa's A Letter From Home supposed to be set in 1955? A year after Last Sled to Dawson's 1954? How can Last Sled be the last we see of Scrooge then? Or is A Letter From Home vague enough to have a potential '54-setting? I don't remember.
I've often heard that A Letter From Home is set in 1955, but the story itself doesn't point to that. I scanned Rosa's commentary on the story in the Don Rosa Library vol. 10 and saw no commentary about the date of the story. Perhaps he pinned the story down to 1955 in another commentary, but I can't say for sure. Anyways, the story itself has Donald says that "It's been over 20 years since you last saw Uncle Scrooge!" to Matilda. Matilda responds, "It's been nearly 25 years". Obviously, this is an important clue in dating the story. Perhaps the story takes place 24 years and 364 after Scrooge and Matilda's last meeting in The Empire-Builder From Calisota, but I wouldn't put it any later than that, since Matilda says "nearly 25 years" (emphasis mine) not just "25 years". The minimum amount of time between The Empire-Builder From Calisota and A Letter From Home should be somewhere around 22 1/2 years, since I struggle to imagine anyone believing that 21 years is "nearly 25 years". Thus, I reckon that A Letter From Home occurs 22 1/2 to almost 25 years after The Empire-Builder From Calisota.
The next important question is, "When does The Empire-Builder From Calisota take place?" The portrait of Scrooge seen on the cover of the story has the dates "1909-1930" on it, implying that those dates is when the story takes place. Scrooge and Matilda's last meeting is at the end of the story, which would mean that they last met in 1930. On the other hand, A Letter From Home briefly flashes back to Scrooge and Matilda's last meeting (and it is definitely supposed to be the same meeting portrayed in The Empire-Builder From Calisota) and the flashback shows a line graph on the wall labeled "1932", implying that Scrooge and Matilda's last meeting was in 1932. Basically, it seems that Scrooge and Matilda's last meeting as portrayed in The Empire Builder From Calisota was in 1930 or 1932. We can add 22 years to 1930 to find the earliest possible date for A Letter From Home, and we can add 25 years to 1932 to find the latest possible date for A Letter From Home. This shows us that A Letter From Home takes place in 1952 at the earliest and 1957 at the latest. It could take place in 1955, but, unless there's some evidence I'm unaware of, it doesn't have to.

I think it's worth pointing out that Goofy actually has an uncle named Goofus according to Goofy's Inheritance. I doubt and wouldn't expect that this information will change your headcanon, but I figured it was worth mentioning that Goofy may have been named in-universe for his uncle not for his personality.

Ah, yes. Thanks for the reminder of what's actually said in A Letter From Home! As you said, chapter 11 of L&To$ itself places the butt-kicking scene in 1930. But there's also chapter 12, which takes place 45 years after Scrooge arrived in Duckburg (1947), and the butt-kicking scene is stated to have happened 17 years ago. So chapter 12 also says 1930. The calendar in the background of A Letter From Home is the only evidence in support of a 1932 placement. This suggests to me that it is simply a mistake (an interesting one at that. You'd think Rosa would go back and double-check before inking the page).
Anyways, the "nearly 25 years"-line fits best with a 1954-placement of A Letter From Home, so I guess I agree with that now. I'll have to re-read these stories in this order with this mindset soon!
---
As you suspected, Goofy's Inheritance is non-head-canon to me, but I agree that it's interesting that the name Goofus popped up twice. I still think it's silly, but I guess I shouldn't expect too much from Disney comics. At the end of the day, I just want things to make sense, and my ramblings in my last post was just an attempt at having things make sense. I'm not even sure the Geef-job interview thing is my head-canon, but it was a suggestion of how to potentially fix the discrepancy.
I don't see Darkwing Duck as occurring within the same headcanon that I'm currently discussing, but maybe there is a Drake Mallard/Darkwing Duck counterpart in this universe bearing the same name. Alternatively, maybe Darkwing Duck exists in this universe the same way I believe DuckTales to, as a TV series based on real events. I've already toyed with the idea that Maui's mother is an actress who portrayed Loopy McQuack. Maybe she met Drake Mallard, a superhero who plays a slightly fictionalized version of himself on Darkwing Duck, and the two conceived Maui. I don't know for sure about that, but I wanted to put the idea out there.
You gave me an idea.
What if Darkwing is Donald's son? Think of it. Darkwing stories take place in the 90s and Darkwing looks like a middle aged man, which means he was born in the 50s (when Donald and Daisy got married, soon after the 'present'). At some point, his father might have revealed to him his Duck Avenger identity. (I include Duck Avenger in my Barks/Rosa headcanon, though not the exact events of Martina's stories as well, since Martina's Scrooge is very different from the canon one.) That inspired little Drake to get a double identity too when he grew up.
Nega Duck could be Gladstone's son, since he and Darkwing are rivals.

That's a pretty neat idea. I'm not sure if it would work for the same Darkwing Duck seen in the series of the same name since his civilian name is Drake Mallard (not Duck) and crossovers like Legend of the Chaos God show Darkwing as being an adult while Huey, Dewey, and Louie are still children, which would be a bit weird if Darkwing is Donald's son. Still, for an alternate version of Darkwing Duck residing in a Barks/Rosa universe, I think this could work.

1957: Scrooge fakes his death to live with Goldie, passing away 10 years later. During this time, Miss Quackfaster becomes the manager of his empire, but passes the position on to HDL after his real death, as he (Scrooge) wished
1959: Grandma Duck dies at 104, leaving her farm to Gus. At the same time, Fethry, who had visited Duckburg a couple of times before, officially settles down in the city
1964: Donald and Daisy marry and have two children, one in 1964 (a boy named Scrooge) and the other in 1966 (a daughter named Hortense)
Around 1964-1976: HDL marry and have their owl children. Each one has a set of triplets
1965: Gladstone has a short relationship with Magica. They have one daughter in 1966 but break up shortly after. The kid stays with her mother
1966: Glomgold dies at 99 years old
2001: Gladstone dies at 81 years old 2002: Daisy dies at 77 years old 2003: Gus dies at 83 years old 2005: Fethry dies at 85 years old 2006: Donald dies at 86 years old
2013: Louie dies at 72 years old 2016: Dewey dies at 75 years old 2018: Huey dies at 78 years old
2045: Gyro dies at 123 and beats Jeanne Calmemt's longevity record
Sorry that most of my ideas are about the characters' death, i've never thought too much about the future besides this. I believe that after Scrooge died in 1967, life in Duckburg became easier and a lot more normal, with no more big adventures
In my headcanon (based on the Barks-Rosa universe) the International Money Council declares gold worthless in the late 1950s because it has become too common a metal and the value of gold has therefore collapsed monybtimes as Monsieur Mattressface warned Scrooge in 1955 in Crete. To stabilize monetary systems and prevent a total economic collapse, the World Central Bank will tie the value of money to rare Lutetium instead of letting the value of money float. At the same time, the United Nations is making a concerned appeal to Brutobia’s space technology because that country has several Sputnik satellites in orbit. To prevent this tensions from turning into war, the U.S. is making a IPTO treaty (i.e. they form Interplanetary Treaty Organization also called the Planetary Alliance) with the Martians of Mars and the the Amazons who living on Venus.

To prevent this tensions from turning into war in 1959, the U.S. is making a IPTO treaty (i.e. they form Interplanetary Treaty Organization also called the Planetary Alliance) with the Martians of Mars and the the Amazons who living on Venus. This causes Brutobia to surrender and its federation disintegrated in August 1961. The opening up of the former lands of Brutobia will invite and entice Scrooge to return once again to the treasure hunt, even though Scrooge is already old. To break his mortality, Scrooge makes his last adventure in the Khunza Valley to discover the secret of long life and inmortality. However, he dies in 1967 at the age of 100. After that Huey, Dewey, and Louie inherit their great uncle’s McDuck Industries and Foundation and use its wealth to good.
