#heres a tid bit of what I have planned tho: I plan on giving her a wheelchair late story!

[arolesbianism]

Shakes Tali oh so hard. Smth smth just desperately wanting to not have to be strong and to have someone take care of you and hold you but being so ashamed of wanting that and so ashamed of being in pain. Smth smth looking into the face of death and forcing yourself to dig out your own grave because at this point it feels easier to make peace with dying than to make peace with living. Smth smth sitting in a room with the people you love and realizing they love you and feeling so sick that you almost throw up

Context: Giving an info-dump answer on “Is Wes alive” (and is Fish alive as an after-thought) This was gonna be a discord reply but I don’t wanna spam the server so I wrote it here

It's definitely ambiguous if either Wes or Fish are gonna survive till the end of the comic (in the distant, distant future) but I feel that's a given with any character in Lackadaisy including our main folks just because of the tone Tracy's going for in her writing. Her writing style has always gone for the implicit (and she's mentioned how she writes like that in her live streams), so she's not going to tell us whether any characters gonna be safe in following chapters, it's what keeps suspense and high stakes right?

I am on the fence if Fish is gonna make that car crash, but the Wes pic I found with him climbing out of the bushes is from "preview" where you can definitely see those are the sketches she's already refined for future panels, hence the title preview. I feel Wes has to be alive at least for a couple more pages to continue that suspense since if he was killed there and then, there wouldn't be any lingering threat for Ivy in upcoming pages (or Elsa trying to call Viktor about her tryna do bootlegging).

When it comes to concept art, and how long Tracy's speculated about a character I like to believe that means she's got more planned out for him. If you do as much treasure hunting for crumbs like I do, you’ll find tid-bits of Tracy answering things like Wes having a frail ego, and a history of getting himself into fights and scuffles (mentioned on her Patreon); you’ll find in the discord Fable and Tracy explicitly saying how he’s a mamas boy and his mom also follows a life of crime; and in streams of Tracy and the team they’ll joke and poke about Wes’ on going inferiority complex and his need to prove he deserves respect. I don’t think Tracy, Fable or the others would have this much characterization for Wes if they didn’t plan on having him play a longer piece in the comic, having him there helps represent what the different shades of grey are in Marigold, and a glimpse of what the organization is from a distance (for the reader I mean).  So yeah, an upcoming character page / poster for him doesn’t seem like much in comparison to the pig farmers also getting a poster but explicitly dying; BUT I think if you add Wes’ concept art, amongst a lot of other photos, thoughts from Tracy in her Patreon, and thoughts from Fable and the staff in art streams he’s definitely feels like a side-character that’ll stick around longer. As for Fish... I’ve seen bare bone things about him unfortunately so that’s why I’m hesitant to believe he survived that car crash (I do hope he makes it tho, poor guy). But YEAH that’s my two cents.  Also images and text at the bottom for your enjoyment:

Me looking at my Pinterest full of family issues quotes: ....it's for my writing I swear!!! Most of the time tho...

Get yourself a man who can Rafael 😍 and no that's not a typo

“We can’t,” Achilles Blackthorn called loudly. “We can’t simply forget our past just because we’re uncomfortable with it.” Achilles Blackthorn everyone 💙💙

*TID flashbacks*

I often forget just how unhinged Simon's life was kdvdkdnd

“So, our plan is a simple one then,” Lexi said and took her sword out. “That bitch needs to die.” I am begging you at this point

YES CLARY!! TELL THEM OUT!!

"There is a difference between mercy and stupidity," Anjali said before she left. "Remember that." This scene was so fricking complex on the way I would side with all of them that killing her is the answer, but seeing Max's POV on why he won't do it is just.... Wow. I love when stories make me think and reflect so much😍 the guilt he would have to carry for the rest of his inmortal life, and not really having nothing to do with Mallory, but with killing someone, even if it's the "best solution". And also coming from Max... God, I could do a whole analysis!!!

How could you be centuries old and never have killed anyone?

How bizarre. How unbelievable.

How fucking cool.

Magnus mf Bane💙💙💙

“You always ask for a lot,” Max mumbled. “Next time ask for a pony or something.”

“Oh, I would love a pony!” bapak said gleefully. “But for today, I think I’ll settle for my son’s humanity.”

THIS QUOTE HIT ME LIKE A TRAIN HOLY SHIT😭😭

"Don’t be afraid to be a little stupid and a lot kind.” Ngl, this will be my new motto

CAN I SAY ONCE AGAIN HOW MUCH I LOVE CLARY???😍😍 Women definitely get shit done!!!

Every time I read How could he forget that? I loose a little bit of myself 🙂

David knew, when he had fallen for Max, he must have fallen for Max’s kindness. Totally fine over here. Just looking for a therapist once in a while:))

"I have no claim to the seashell. Not anymore," David interrupted. "It belongs to Mallory. She is your equal."

"Maybe so," Max hummed. "But you are my everything."

I feel like a kid at the beach picking seashells, but I am picking favorite quotes to take them with me and make a cute little something 🥰 (yeah, I don't care about the irony of it)

THERE HAS TO BE S WAY TO GET THEM BACK!!! I WON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE!!

Because shame was everything he knew growing up. At this point I am 90% filled with rage for the Devlins and Albert 😔

I need Magnus to come to my life and say some wise shit like this and make me reconsider my whole life, please 🥰

ANOTHER ONE!!!

“Who you are is a choice,” Magnus whispered. “Make your choice, David.” LITERAL CHILLS OMG KSHSJDJDJ

HE IS BACK!!! HE IS BACK!!? OMG JSHSKDBKDDN. I want you to know I developed the ability to read this on my way home from school and this made me want to scream on my bus lmaoo

My fave twins😍

Look. If someone was going to do stupid shit, it must as well be her. She did her stupid shit carefully. I can't argue with her tbh...

You better stay away from Catarina or I am throwing hands!!!

Literally me 10 seconds before the dots begin connecting: WHAT A MF MINUTE👀

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!!! CHAPTER 1!!!! OTHER MAX!!!! THE FAMILIAR BLUE EYES!!!! OTHER MAX!!!! HOLY SHIT WHAT A PLOT TWIST!!!!

Dear Annie who figured everything out on the first chapter: can you marry me like, yesterday?💍

Please have this edit that gives me 💯 Mallory vibes

About the OC's thing, I would like a little refresher, it's been a while tbh (welcome back tho) ((and happy new year <3))

SO! I can finally answer this ask from literally 6 months ago! I was mid way done with the art I wanted to use for this when school cut me off but, NOW? It’s OC and OC series explanation time baby! 

but, also this is probably going to be a super long post so I’ll put it all under a cut:

Alright!

I’ll start off with some notes on OCs I’ve talked about in the past. Then I’ll move on to the newer and more exciting (to me at the least) stuff. Let’s start with... The Space for Angels Series

This was an old webcomic I was going to make. The initial idea that sparked the comic was “What if someone got framed for murder by an alternate version of themselves?” I ended up cancelling the project for a few different reasons though. 1.) I got discouraged from it the moment I got off schedule with it. Admittedly this really shouldn’t have bothered me as much seeing as a lot of comics take breaks here and there especially when life gets in the way but, at the time it did. 2.) I realized that I didn’t like the way I was writing future chapters. So, I ultimately cancelled the project because I wanted to take a step back and try again with a less complicated idea.  That being said! I still really like some of the characters I made from it. More specifically my plans for both Thunder and Goldie. 

Here are some chibis of Goldie (the one on the left, she/her) and Thunder (the one on the right, she/her) in case you forgot what they looked like (Or if I haven’t posted their latest designs yet).  I liked Thunder’s whole story so much that I decided to migrate it into a different series that I plan to make at some point (and is featured later on in this post). 

While I don’t have any current story plans for Goldie I still really enjoy her as a character. Her whole story was that she was an emotion less angel (in order to become an angel in the universe you had to give up something really important, Goldie chose to give up her emotions) for so many years that she hadn’t noticed when her emotions were starting to come back to her. So her whole story is about how she discovers she has emotions again and relearning how to be human essentially. She finds out she has emotions again when she eats her favorite food, chocolate ice cream, and realizes that she feels happy while eating it. This causes her to panic and then the fact that she is panicking causes her to panic more. Eventually the others calm her down and decide to help her with the whole “suddenly having emotions again” thing. Another little tid bit about her is that she eventually becomes a model (cause after spending so many years being emotionless she basically has that facial emotionless model face expression down to a T lmao.) 

And that’s basically all my thoughts about my old Space for Angels series at the moment. If there is anything you are still curious about with it feel free to send another ask! Also a huge thank you to anyone who did read and support the comic when it was running. It really did mean a lot! 

Now before we can move on to the newer stuff, I want to address a series that wasn’t mine but, I was creating characters for and helping be made: Tales of Aeriatora. 

The Tales of Aeriatora Series

I want to start off by saying that I still own all of my characters that I made for this series and I’m still on good terms with everyone from the project. However, I’m also here to basically confirm that the project is not going to be turned into anything any more. At least, to my knowledge from the last time I had an in depth conversion on the topic with the project’s owner @icednebula​ that’s the impression I got. (If I am wrong about this Nebby feel free to correct me. I care u <3) It’s basically just turned into a personal world of ocs for the owner and trusted friends from the project. I feel partially to blame for why the project ended up being sort of shelved like this. I had voiced my concerns about how realistic it was to finish the comic given how big the story was getting and I think that unintentionally set it on the course to being shelved. I was just a bit concerned because I cared about the project but, this one thing seemed to spiral into Nebby not really trust me with the project. This and some other miscommunications here and there lead to its downfall. That being said its stories and the characters are still very dear to me, Nebby, and everyone else on the team’s hearts.  Ultimately it’s water under the bridge at this point for what happened. Here are some chibis of my main 3 characters from the series for old time’s sake. 

Pictured: Cliff (on the left, he/him), Dellah (in the middle, she/her), and Lyla (on the right, she/her). I don’t feel right trying to come up with new stuff for their stories or characters given that Nebby is still a bit on the fence about me working on ToA again but, that’s ok. I’m fine with that. I’m just glad to have made so many happy memories through the series/project. 

I do still make stuff with Nebby and Rainy though, which leads me to some new ocs to talk about! 

Goetia

Now this is purely a world that Nebby made for fun. It’s not going to be turned into anything but, it has some fun ocs and ideas I’d love to talk about! Here are two of my ocs that I’ve made for it. 

basically it’s a magical world where every witch/wizard’s aesthetic doesn’t match their powers. Lumen (Pictured on the left, She/her) has portals and light magic despite her aesthetic being Pudding themed. (We also call her the Pudding witch.) And Leek (Pictured on the right, He/him) is one of her familiars! He is basically a bottomless void that’s constantly hungry. He has void powers and a little dumb but we love him. :3  With him, Lumen can basically make blackholes. There is also a bunch of other fun things with these two and some of the other characters Nebby has made but, I’ll leave that to ourselves for now.  Next! The Monsters of Our Minds Series

Wait a minute? Wasn’t this also an old series?  Yes, technically this was an old series I was making. I am putting it under new series however because I’ve reworked how I am going to go about making it. It’s not going to be just comics anymore. It’s going to be a mixture of comic pages and animatics. That being said, I have no clue when I am going to work on it. My idea is to have comic pages then an animatic and then repeat that set up until the series’ story is finished. The original project was temporarily shelved because a big theme in the story is mental health and when I was initially writing the story I wasn’t at the best mentally. So I shelved it for when I was doing better mentally. ( I am doing much better now btw! Don’t worry about it. I’ve got the therapy I needed. <3 )  I didn’t get far on the pages back when it was only going to be a comic so let me talk about the story a little bit and show two of it’s main characters!

The main character Stacy, lives in a world where people can create monsters. However, genetically some people are incapable of doing so. Stacy is one of these people despite both of her parents having the gene to make monsters. There is a festival held to celebrate the First Monster ever. It is said that if you make a wish during this day there is a chance that the First Monster will come down and grant your wish. The day this is held on however, is also Stacy’s birthday. Her parents caught up in excitement and plans for the First Monster festival end up forgetting her birthday. Leaving her alone in the house. While her parents are gone, Stacy looks up at the night sky from her room window and wishes that she was normal. AAAND, BOOM! the ground shakes as the First Monster crashes down from the night sky into Stacy’s front yard. Stacy immediately bolts out to the front yard and has her wish ””granted”” by the First Monster. (I put granted in quotes cause the whole notion of what ‘being normal’ means is vague at best. Obviously, Stacy getting the ability to make monsters doesn’t make her ‘normal’ but, it’s the only immediate thing the First Monster can think to give her for her wish.) She is given the ability to make monsters. From here, Stacy and her visit with the First Monster makes the news. Opening doors for Stacy, she gets accepted into a Monster College where she meets her new friend, Amy. A girl in the same class as her at the college that is a massive nerd with a bit of crush on her. (But Stacy doesn’t now that.) From here they deal with the extra strings attached to Stacy’s wish as she is now a part of something a lot larger than she bargained for. 

I think I condescend as much as I could about the first chapter of the story while still giving you a good picture and not spoiling anything. If you have any other questions about the story though feel free to ask and I’ll give as much as I can without spoiling stuff! 

On the left is Stacy (she/her) and on the right is Amy (she/her). :)

Now let’s go to one that’ll be shorter to explain.

A Currently Untitled Series

If you’ve seen my art fight page these character probably look familiar. They were originally from a project I wanted to make an animated series about monster’s in highschool. Buuuttt, I’ve grown out of the highschool setting. So I’m in the process of changing the setting to them in college with the old highschool adventures I came up with being backstories to the current story. Still, unsure if I want to make it more of a slice of life series (as that’s what it was originally) or if I want to go for something more adventurous. Never the less, I wanted to mention this series. Pictured is Cleo on the left (They/them, Ve/Vem, or Ge/Gem) and Theo on the right (He/Him). Theo is a big old softie that is just trying to figure out his place in the world and Cleo is his chill childhood friend. They are roommates. :3

Definitely ask questions about them and any other characters from this story. It’ll be a great opportunity for me to work with their stuff more. 

Now I want to talk about an interesting series...

The Rewritten Series

Huh? Rewritten? Like it’s an old series you rewrote? Welll, for me it’s an old series but, you’ve never seen this story. That’s because this is about my first ever story and how I am rewriting it. It’s a fantasy story with our main character, Princess Luna, princess to the most powerful kingdom, and how she needs to settle the situation with her twin sister that is set to rule the second most powerful kingdom, Princess Sol. There becomes more complications though as the universe can’t decide if it wants to play by the old story’s rules or if it wants to play by my revisions. Now, Luna, Ruby (another sister of Luna), and Eclipse (Sol in disguise.) must work together to fix the shattering world. 

Pictured on the left is Ruby, middle is Eclipse, and right is Luna. (All of them use she/her pronouns)

Luna is your super sweet, brave, airhead type of character. Eclipse is your really shy and reserved character that’s trying her best to deal with things. And Ruby is that mysterious older sibling type of character. 

The current idea is that this will be a RPG game at some point! I am going to college for programming so, it’s something to work on for sure! 

Definitely feel free to ask me questions about this one! I would love to talk about the first versions of these characters and their current versions. 

Now for another game idea: Project Orbit

This isn’t the actual name of this series but, I want to keep that a secret until I get to release this game. The gameplay would be a megaman style game. 

I’m not sure exactly how much I should say on this one. However, I feel it’s story is especially important. 

Picture left is the game’s main character, Cam (She/her). Right is an alien that’s decently important to the story, Cor (He/him). 

You can ask more about what Cam and Cor are like as characters though! However, I want to give very little about this one’s story. I need it to be just right. 

Then we arrive at my current main project, I am only going to give you the abbreviation of its name though: ORU

To the left we have Ridley (He/him) and to the right we have Fhone. They are going to be apart of a webcomic I’m currently working on. I am not sure how much to give on their story considering I’m almost done creating the entirety of chapter 1. So, I’ll give you these two’s basic personalities instead. 

Ridley is a very adventurous, ambitious, and extroverted person. He is reckless and most of the time just looking for a good time. He does care about the people around him though. He kind of tears himself apart when it comes to people getting hurt over things he could have avoided.  Then there is Fhone. Fhone is a cautious artist character. She mostly makes wood carvings. She has known Ridley for a long time. She is strange in that she can blend into social situations but, she doesn’t quite understand them. She has a good spirit for things though. She acts as a bit of a voice of reason for Ridley at times but, sometimes misses the obvious things. 

My plan for when I am releasing the comic is to finish all the pages for chapter 1, write everything out for chapter 2, then start releasing my work on chapter 1. Hoping that with that chapter buffer I’ll be able to make work on chapter 2 in the meantime. 

There are a few more characters from ORU that I’ll gladly talk about if asked, (basically the rest of the main 8) but, know that I can’t give away too heavy of spoilers. :3

Aaaand, I think that’s all the series for my OCs! If you have any questions about any of them please send them my way! :3
