Look at this handsome photo of Viktor I found on Twitter! 🥰

"Viv and the Lackadaisy team solved everything like adults, didn't any of you haters watch the GlitchX livestream?"

First off, I love how people are so sure that Viv and her inner circle aren't still continuing to talk shit about other indie projects on Discord or that Viv isn't still liking tweets from hardcore stans that harassed the Lackadaisy team.

And second, why are you acting like celebrities who don't like each other can't put aside their differences when it comes to public events?

Ray Fisher put aside his hatred for Joss Whedon to promote the godawful theatrical cut of Justice League at press junkets back in 2017, Bret Hart still showed up to give a speech at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony back in 2006 even though his relationship with the company was still sour at the time, and everyone who ever had the misfortune of working with Justin Roiland had to pretend like they liked the guy in public because they didn't want to get fired or blacklisted.

Also, I have a hard time believing that the GlitchX organizers didn't have a sit down with both parties beforehand. Because I seriously doubt the Lackadisy crew would have agreed to do the livestream if they didn't know that Viv was gonna be participating beforehand.

YOU WORK WITH LACKADISY????

Wound and future for Ace for the ask game please!

Thanks for the ask dude!

future: What's the worst possible future for your OC? Are they taking steps to avoid that outcome? Are they even aware it's a possibility?

He already isn't living his best life so he cant really imagine things getting that much worse. Right now the idea of loosing the few connection hes gotten at the Lackadisy is probably something he has nightmares about. A common theme for the nightmares is somehow killing one of them.

wound: How does your OC handle being wounded? Are their wounds mostly physical? Mental? Emotional? What's the worst wound your OC has ever experienced?

He has a higher than normal pain tolerance and any bad emotions he pushes down to far to feel it clearly. So he just kinda shrugs it off or deflects anything bad. To really hurt him you have to aim deep, just tell him something along the lines of ‘’Your mom doesn't love you’’ and it’ll ruin his week. He will break your teeth, in turn so be prepared for the consequences of your actions. The worst wound hes had is probably getting shot in the ribs. Second place goes to that one time he and some neighborhood kids were playing The Knife Game and he got stabbed in the heel. He also doesn't like accepting help when it comes to getting hurt, at least unless he’s really close to someone.

LACKADISY SEASON 1 TEASER! LET’S GOOO!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I’m SO DAMN EXCITED! LET’S GOOOO SEASON 1! The early 20th century aesthetic is my shit! LOVE IT! I can’t wait to see more!

Here's my Lackadisy oc, i'm really proud of them!

Her dirty paws and furry coat

She ran down the forest slopes

The forest of talking trees

They used to sing about the birds and the bees

Finally I have worked up the courage to share her. Introducing my Lackadaisy oc: Åse, you can call him Ace if you want. I've teased her in a previous post but i've finally gotten around to making her bio card thingy. And as previously mentioned he is an old d&d pc. He tends to show up here and there so this is just one of her many incarnations. 

Art thoughts below

The illustration it is based on this postcard and other Norwegian postcard illustrations depicting people and creatures in red winter hats and clothing. The hat in itself is called a Nisselue. The patterns on her clothes are based on different folk stories/myths. The pattern on the hem of her skirt is based on the children's story called The Foxes Widow and her mittens are based on Kråkevisa/Bonden Og Kråka and her stockings are based on a mythical creature called a Fossegrim. All of them are in a way relevant to her backstory.

The pin is based on a Maiblomst (Mayflower), a paper flower attached to a pin that is sold to raise money for charity originating in Sweden but has later been used in other countries as well. The colors change each year, this one is based on the 1915 version from Norway. 

She grew up near Kapp which is a small town on the edge of the Mjøsa river which is why I chose for her to be depicted near water.

some fun facts

They laugh like a hyena

He has an intense rivalry with crows

She has sleep paralysis

Isn't interested in alcohol but when at parties, she drinks water in a martini glass to feel fancy

He's 163cm tall

Uses she/him pronouns but isn't picky

Anyone is welcome to ask about her if they so wish 🙂

[chaifootsteps]

there’s a comic called bugTobia, Erma, A comic about a ghost girl, The cuphead show, an adult swim show called Learning with Pippy, Smiling friends, and in Inde show bring made named Lumi and the Great Big Galax, Battle of the bands, a webcomic called Hex, lackadisy, a film being made by a former member who left spindle horse, Murder drones on YouTube, and a bunch of other things.

Every time a member who left Spindle creates something, an angel gets his wings.

I wish we had more veriality too.

Let's hope that the popularity of Lackadaisy will show that, indopendent animation can be used for more then just comedy.

It's not that I have anything against comedies, I'm just tired of people thinking that every "adult" show has to be a comedy.

There's nothing wrong with serious shows that have comedic elements, but when all you're giving me is comedy shows that have hints of seriousness I start to get really frustrated.

[thowawayuntilfurthernotice]

Honestly, the Viv and Lackadaisy drama is a great reminder that the indie animation scene isn't so different from Hollywood.

Drama like this is one of the main reasons why I could never get into any indie animated shows, as there would always be some dumb behind the scenes nonsense that would ruin any enjoyment I got out of these shows.

It also doesn't help that a lot of these indie animation studios are run like high school cliques rather than professional studios.

Seriously, I dunno how anyone can deal with Viv's bullshit on a regular basis, nor do I understand why that Lackadisy crew member decided to make a big fuss over Viv not providing a donation link to the campaign on Twitter.

This is the type of behavior I expect from teenagers, not adults in their 20's and 30's.

And before anyone accuses me of siding with Viv, I think she handled the situation poorly by posting (and then deleting) that pity tweet instead of just talking things out with the Lackadaisy team in private.

I usually hate it when people try to "Both sides" everything, but this is one of those rare cases where both sides were in the wrong.

Not like it matters now, as the HH/HB fans and Lackadaisy fans are currently at each others' throats, arguing over which fandom is shittier.

Just a complete and utter mess.

So what is Ace doing by the time of the comic?

Thank you for the question @fresh-cup-of-antimatter!

After Ace escaped prison, He grabbed a backpack and hit the road. Traveling east stopping a few places but never staying long, until he ended up in st Louis. To make money he had been participating in back alley fighting matches to make money and at one of these ‘’events’’ a guy who worked at the Lackadisy asked if he’d want a job. This was around half a year before Atlas died. He got into contact with Atlas and he offered her that he'd keep her hidden from the law and out of prison if she started working for him. She said yes, hoping having a stable job and protection was a good change of pace and started working at the Lackdaisy as extra muscle.

Why she stayed after he died is complicated. She doesn't have any education and has so far spent all of her adult life in the criminal underworld. He doesn't really feel like he has many other options. Other that picking up her stuff and hitting the road again and returning to her old line of work, but in a way she she feels like it wouldn't feel much different. He’d still be fighting for money. At least at the Lackadaisy he has some kind of stability, however small it is.

Another reason is Rocky. Ive already mentioned in a previous post that they are on similar wavelengths and would get along great. They'd both probably be surprised that their individual mannerisms didn't put the other off. Rocky probably would be giddy at the prospect of making a real genuine friend, but Ace would have more mixed feelings. She’s so used to pushing most people away intentionality before they can hurt her, and the few times shes let people close its ended not so great. She'd be perturbed at first, maybe avoiding him for a short while while she collected her thoughts. But eventually the high she’d get form getting the one thing she desired (understanding and acceptance) would be to sweet not to savor, and she’d start seeking him out again. Him and rocky have become pretty close over the course of working at Lackadaisy.

When Atlas died Ace's major jobs became security and rum running. Out of her and Rocky she’s only marginally more suited though. She’s strong enough to carry the merchandise and can handle most violent situations but her decision making skills are on par with Rocky’s.

Heres an extra overview of her relationshjip with the rest of the gang.

Atlas: Like most of the crew its complicated. Outside of offering Ace the job they've barely interacted. Ace has a lot of emotions he does not know how to deal with especially when it comes to authority figures. He instinctively wants to be as agreeable and as useful as possible as to avoid ever getting fired. But his relationship with his last boss ended abruptly and violently so theres a lot of unsaid stuff there. And she also does not want to think about it so she projects those feeling of fear and anger onto Atlas, especially after he dies just as abruptly. Its all in all very parasocial.

Mitzy: Similarly to Atlas they never interacted much, so most of what she knows about her comes from her coworkers occasionally talking about her. Other than Rocky who would probably mention her pretty often. In current day they talk more often though its usually only about work. Ace thinks she acts nice but he always has this underlying feeling like shes notreally genuine or putting on some sort of act. Hes never mentioned this to anyone, maybe hes just paranoid.

Viktor: Viktor has a similar opinion of her as he has Rocky, though its more about the fact that they both talk to much than that he thinks she’s inherently dangerous. Though thats more because Ace is better at hiding her bad decision that lead to bodily harm. Or at least not draging them back to the Lackadaisy. Ace is also similarly overly friendly which is a result of Viktor kind of reminding her of her grandpa and that just naturally makes her more at ease around him.

Mordecai: Mordecai might have an intimidating air about him but Ace has seen him freak out at three to many spiders to able to take him completely seriously. Thinks it was shitty of him to shoot Victor ands probably resents him a bit for that.

Wick: Another person he doesn't know well enough to have much of a solid opinion of, but is a hater in solidarity with Rocky. Also thinks anyone who’s hat is that tall has to have some dark secrets hidden in there. (the secrets are duck ghosts)

Ivy: Ace and Ivy get along well. Both are very energetic and with Ace’s skills with a sewing machine Ivy will get Ace to fix her clothes for her. Ivy pays him in dance lessons. She also likes having a girl close to her age at the speakeasy. I think she sometimes forgets Aces gender identity a little bit. Though not maliciously, more because she hasn't met many openly queer people and isnt as used to using multiple pronouns for someone. She’ll get it eventually.

Rocky: See above

Freckle: Freckle is equally as exhausted by her as he is Rocky. The day he met her he felt his heart sink as the phrase ‘oh no, theres two of them’ echoed in his mind. Ace likes him more when hes in a blood rage.

Zib: respects his chill but thinks hes a bit boring to hang out with. Is really interested in what he has to say about music though. Zib thinks he can be a bit much but is happy that with him around Rocky has someone else to talk to that is not Zib.

Horatio: despite Horatio being more relaxed compared to him he likes hanging out with the more timid cat. Ace sneaks him old bread and cookies to give to the rats. Ace likes rats, better that those filthy crows at least. And since Ace sometimes works security they hang out by the door and have had many interesting conversations. Horatio is too polite to react negatively to the weird shit Ace says, Ace know this and has made a game out of finding out where his breaking point is.

combining ocs with cannon is something I have some internalized shame about, thanks brony fandom. But I’ve been steadily working on that since I first posted about Ace. Just generally trying to unlearn cringe culture. Also im feeling like im about to get burn out so im gonna try not making myself draw something for every ask unless i feel like it.

Quik possible correction?? On one of your recent posts you said "that Lackadisy crew member decided to throw a fit about Viv not providing "proof" that she donated to the campaign on Twitter." The tweet I saw was not a Lackadaisy crew member bein upset about proof, it was them bein upset that Vivzie "could not be bothered" to include the donation link with her tweet (((or a reply tweet.))) And I think it's because that is usually the polite thing to do when supporting a project because it gets more eyes on it and makes it about supporting the project, rather than just being about the donation?? (((Not defending the Lackadaisy member, they were rude about it, but I do understand what they were upset about yk??))) But if there was a different Lackadaisy crew member, or the same one making a different complaint about the "proof" I apologize! I haven't seen anything like that. Though the donation was allegedly from the entire Spindlehorse crew, not just Vivzie, which she neglected to mention specifically.

Thanks for pointing that out, I had them confused with someone else.

I corrected my mistake in the original post.

Still, they were making a big deal out of nothing. I dunno why they couldn’t have talked to Viv in private about this matter.

There was literally no reason to make a big fuss about this on Twitter, and Viv being Viv, handled things poorly as well.

Gosh, that deleted tweet was so dumb.

She could have just posted a link to the donation, and left it at that, but nope! She just had to get her fans to feel sorry for her.
