Redesigned my Lackadaisy Sona to be less like me (gotta meet my escapism quota)

I was bound to make a Lackadaisy exclusive sideblog eventually (I barely have time for anything but canon fan art will probably go up on the main blog. But I want to lurk more thoroughly around the OC half of the fandom! I keep getting served lovely content from there)

[aghostnamedcalamity]

Im new to Benjamin lore and I love the story you're setting up for him! Did you ever reveal his mother yet or is that something you're still working towards 😲

Thank you so much! 💖 she’s not officially debuted in the comic yet (she will be next update! ✨) but I have posted some Millicent Mae Ames art here and there.

She and Mordecai are not romantically involved, but there’s a certain….pull. Milly is still a bit under construction so she may change a little. :)

OH!!! OH MY GOSH?!! VI OH MY GOODNESS THE SCREAM I SCREMPT !! 😭💖

This is SO ADORABLE!! AAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU THANK YOU

Your art is always fabulous! I've been blessed with my own little Vi piece 🥺🥺 THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 💕✨️

Oops I did it again ✨

No lackaoc is safe from me, and especially not Mordecai’s adorable children 🌸 So of course I had to draw @aghostnamedcalamity’s little Benjie !

I actually found out about him a while ago and I just knew I had to draw him someday, and that day has come 😌 Benjamin is such a sweetheart and I can’t wait to see more of him 💕

- Credit to the og art inspiration and reference !!! I was looking everywhere for a decent Ferris wheel reference when this century old magazine cover crossed my path and was what I had in my mind (coincidentally being from the roaring 20s, as well!), and I could hardly help myself. The further I got in my drawing, the more ✨ artistic liberties ✨ I ended up taking, and I, uh… I guess you can say I like carnival lights. A lot.

Haven’t really decided on a name for my comic yet. But here’s pages 3 and 4 ✨

Would you be able to draw a photo of Mordecai and Benjamin from the day Benjamin graduated from college?

Have a quick little sketch!! I was trying so hard to finish it but I’ve been so terribly busy and overwhelmed lately I didn’t get the chance to. :’(

This was Benjamin’s high school graduation. It’s actually a very good memory of Benjamin’s, he had a good time that day; despite Mordecai having to be forced to be in the photo.

Edit: I just saw you specifically asked for college graduation 😫 I’m so sorry! Maybe I can sketch something for the college one at some point, but if it helps any the high school one was a lot more interesting than the college one!

Thank you so much!! You’re too kind 😭✨oh, there were definitely times when this would happen! A lot actually. Mordecai would stop reading all of a sudden and look around like It’s too quiet. He’d go check on him but it was usually just Benjamin finding a bug somewhere that he quickly hid from Mordecai.

Hmm I think Benji’s future wife has a bit of spunk to her! She’d probably be very polite at first but then be like “Hey is your dad okay? He seems upset.” And Benjamin would have to explain that no he’s not angry he’s just like that. Keep in mind that by this time Mordecai is a lot older so I always imagine him becoming pretty quiet but grumpy as he ages.

Sorry I had to answer these together, for some reason Tumblr wasn’t letting me answer them properly 🥲 thanks for the question!

[aghostnamedcalamity]

Hey! I hope you have a nice day, afternoon or evening, depending on where you are✨

Well here is my question :)

Does Benjamin like to feed pigeons in the park or in an open place?🕊

Take your time and have a nice day ☀

Hello and hope you are having a wonderful day/night as well!✨

Benjamin will feed the pigeons anywhere and anytime lol I think it mostly started around the city (they tend to congregate around there looking for scraps) and then the pigeons just started learning that this odd little guy had food for them. He does go to the park quite a bit though, and feeds them there as well.

[aghostnamedcalamity]

Yipppeeeeee! I’m bored so I wanna do something to practice my character drawing!

So I’m going to do that fun Expression challenge inspired by Nirami!

I’ll be taking requests and you guys can pick 1-3 of these expressions you want to see with either my oc Maríanne, or any of the lackadaisy characters! ❤️ After each expression I’ll cross them out! Thank you! :>>

Decided to start a comic narrating my head-canon 🥹 My year long project for 2025!

[aghostnamedcalamity]

AAAAA THIS IS SO SWEET! The amount of thought you put into these?!!! Omg ! I love the dark shell symbolizing Mordecai protecting Benjmain, that was so poetic! Ben would hold onto it his pocket lol he does love little knick knacks!

Assigning jewelry I found on Pinterest to my mutals' ocs

Amber kind of inspired this, as I kept seeing cool insect jewellery I think she would wear. I feel this one represents her though. It has a butterfly motif which Yancy has said sometimes represents Amber. I don’t know the exact size from the pic but it looks like it fits a bit tighter around the neck like a choker (which have a Victorian/Regency vibe to me) and the oval/circular pendant are also reminiscent of this. I also felt that there being multiple pendants also symbolizes her Chrysalis gang with the center pendant being her.

Benjamin is a small child and I don’t think hes super into jewelry at the moment but I saw this baby chic in an egg pendant that reminded me of him. The egg opens and has the chick inside so it has an interactive element that I think would be cool to a kid. Its very cute and innocent but the darker silver egg around it reminds me of Moredcai protecting him.

I haven't known Cassie and Bailey long and I’m not as familiar with them so I put them together, this one is mostly vibes tbh. They escaped a bad situation recently so a running rabbit was kind of symbolic of both the situation the ran away from. The rabbit being in a rectangular inset could also symbolize a cage. Bailey also has a bunny plush so it felt right. There are also two pearls attached to what I think is supposed to be a tree also represent Cassie and Bailey and them being part of the same family tree( siblings).

Luc already has kind of a signature jewelry which is his heart locket necklace. So this is a bit more of and this one stood out to me. Forget me nots of course symbolize everlasting love and remembering loved ones. The everlasting love makes me think of Katherine which can take on a sinister connotation as well. And remembering loved ones as reference to Luc starting to forget people as The Curse™ overtakes him. At least that what I think is happening from the cryptic tidbits of Luc lore 4U has posted.

Maríanne of course gets something snake themed. Its very straight forward snake with an apple for some of that original sin symbolism and trees, apples and snakes are a big part of her story. While this is a ring I really like the idea of this design as a bangle because it can also be a golden shackle. Really hone in on the snake going from a symbol of safety to one of entrapment.

Maura is a lover girl and I felt she needed something that wasn't to serious. So a simple pendant with a white flower and some young love symbolism fit her. I can imagine her fiddling with the pendant every time shes about to see Rocky.

Millicent reminds me of a bird always flying here and there, and pearls a lot for some reason. Shes very outwardly elegant and typically feminine so i wanted something that captures that. Though this broach is more reminiscent of a bug the wing motif is still there. If there was a bird on the back instead it would be perfect.

WOOHOO HEADCANONS!

Maybe the sølje could be one of the few family heirlooms he's held onto 🥹💖

A while ago Calamity told me they headcannon Joey as being of Norwegian decent and I wholeheartedly approve. So here’s Ace helping Joey get into his bunad.

Putting on a sølje is easier when someone else does it for you and its a neat way to have ��se and Joey interact. It ended up looking kinda domestic so now the discord server is down with ÅsexJoey lol, sure why not.

Heres a link to the first post i made about what a bunad and a fest drakt is. if anyone wants to read about it but all you need to know is they're for the most part different things and Ace's outfit is a festrdrak and Joey's is technically a bunad.

on Joeys outfit:

According to Calamity: ‘’I imagine his parents immigrated to the US with his grandparents when they were still young and then met in the US through community’’ which could probably put the time they emigrated around the middle of the 1800s. The modern idea of bunads didn't start appearing until the start of the 1900s and kept developing from there. So most likely his family wouldn't have any bunads to pass down, but maybe some clothes that could be put together to make a bunad.

So I based Joey's on the Oslo 1892 bunad. (Its almost the exact same except for the number of buttons) which was invented post 2010s but was based on fashion from the wealthy in 1890s. Considering the hypothetical time line of when Joey’s family emigrated the suit jacket and vest probably didn't come with them from Norway but the knit socks, søljes and pants could.

The silver jewelry on his neck is called a sølje, i gave him two different types. One is based on the sølje that usually comes with the Oslo 1892 but with a few artistic liberties. The second is a heart sølje that looked like a heart with either a crown or two birds facing each other above it. It was used all over the country but some places more than others like the more southern parts of the country. It was also often a gift given to a lover, maybe it was something one of his grandparents gave to the other.

on Ace's outfit:

I have already designed a fest drakt/bunad for Ace and in that post I mentioned I couldn't find an outfit from the area to base it one so I took some innspo from the Telmark bunad instead because of the color and embroidery that I felt matched Ace’s personality. I did eventually stumble upon a bunad from the are Ace grew up in. The Toten bunad, so I redesigned her Fest drakt based on it. Its not a one to one copy so its technically still a festdrakt.

I still got to add some embroydery but instead its svartsøm on the shirt (or whats supposed to be a simplified representation of it). The apron and band around the waist are woven in a style called tavlebragd which gives it that geometric pattern.

I also gave Ace a headband this time around since her hair is to short to braid when she’s older. So now she still has something going on with her hair. Its just a normal green hair band. Would have added embroidery to it if her design wasn't getting a bit cluttered with all the patterns.

I could explain away the difference in Åse’s festdrakt by saying her old one got lost when they emigrated but idk. I might come back to it and design a new one for her younger self at some point.

As mentioned in the first post im not a clothing historian so some of this might be wrong. I tried simplifying some of th patterns on aces outfit so theyd be easie to redraw so they might not be 100% accurate. I know I also could have just designed a new outfit for joey like I did with ace instead oif basing his on a bunad that wasn't even invented before the 2000s but it takes a lot of energy and research and I’m tired.
