Can't believe it's been an entire year since the LACKADAISY Pilot release. What a blur! Thank you for all of the views, comments, amazing art, writings, and support since then! It's meant so much! ❤️♣️

…and there's more in store!

The fear behind the manic grin

I know I have a reputation as a feral Vikdecai account (I mean can you blame me?) but all the characters in Lackadaisy are amazing and the main cast all have their own interesting stories playing out

Case in point the musical, poetic and lovably derranged Rocky Rockaby who thanks to the Pilot (for what will hopefully soon become a full series) a new large audience being introduce to

But there is one moment where the feral energetic grinning persona slips and we see the face a of a broken young man in a state of total despair, before mercifully Mitzi decides to lighten the tone

This is key to understanding Rocky and his motivations

After being abandoned by his father and his mothers death from illness Rocky was raised in his early years for a period of time by his aunt Nina along with his cousin Calvin (Freckle)

However, due to some as yet unrevealed tragedy, Rocky was ejected from the Mcmurray house and spent the following years riding the rails

He stayed in touch with Calvin, writing him letters about his adventures, and as you would expect from a flamboyant personality he exaggerates what a big adventure it was how optimistic he was feeling at this time as he travelled from place to place working various assorted odd jobs between 1921 and 1924

The Lackadaisy Wicki provides a nice breakdown

But of course the reality is quite different. Having no home, no family and no friends outside what brief and fleeting acquaintances he made on the road took its toll

But that changed when he found himself joining Zib's band in 1925 which at that point was playing exclusively for the Lackadaisy Speakeasy. For the first time in years he has not only found somewhere seemingly more long term to be but back in the place he thinks of as home

But even this seemingly positive change does not get to last long. Atlas's death in 1926 throws everything into uncertainty and without its leader and despite Mitzi's best efforts things begin to decline both financially and in terms of manpower.

Those that remain do so for various reasons despite leaving arguably being the smartest option. Rocky does so because he is done with drifting and is determined to hold onto the solid ground he has found no matter what. He makes this desperation clear to Calvin

Though it should be noted while he wants the Lackadaisy to be saved he wants it done on certain terms. Specifically ones where he is the golden boy that saved the day. He is desperate to ingratiate himself to Mitzi. This is in part due to him having a crush on her, but even this is tied to his perception of her as a "damsel in distress" that he can ride in and rescue, and in the process secure a permanant place for himself

This is why in both the pilot and the comic he is so devastated when he sees that she is dissapointed with his efforts.

This is also why in both you can see a barely passive aggresive attitude towards Wick.

Its not just that he is a rival for Mitzi's affection, the friendly wealthy industrialist who clearly has a thing for the beautiful widow threatens to make Rocky and his efforts to be the Knight in shining armour redundant and equally so Rocky himself.

If he invested his money in the Speakeasy he would be the hero and Rocky would just be the clown that tried so hard (risking his life even) but failed, only for some handsome aristocrat to stroll in with his chequebook

Rocky fears being adrift again. Of feeling alone and unwanted again. He is willing to go to extreme lengths to prevent that from happening. To feel wanted, included and loved he will start as many fires and thow as much dynamite and dodge was many bullets as it takes

Lets keep spreading the good word and hopefully our lovable pyromaniac and the rest of the cast will get the long running episodic series they deserve to have their stories told (and of course get more love for the comic)

It's nice that you wanna be nice Dewwy, but if you ever feel scared, uncomfortable, or put off by an ask you're never obligated to respond! Pls put your safety and comfort first at all times. Love you kid /p

Lol that means you’re a first timer?

wdym?? uh yeah ig

#my mootie :3

[elipapayo]

Hey Dewwy, I don't recommend responding to this person anymore, their blog is NSFW and their clearly an adult. I'm pretty sure that is a predator.

Lol that means you’re a first timer?

wdym?? uh yeah ig

[elipapayo]

Hey ya'll, I know I've been dead but I'm coming back to remind you all that tumblr is full of sex bots and predators!! If you are a minor and on tumblr, please PLEASE be aware of you who you are interacting with. One of my mutuals is talking with an asker (which is fine! that's their choice!) and is very clearly a minor, but the asker isn't even an anon and is an openly NSFW blog. I'm going to msg my mutual and talk to them abt it, but this is a public reminder to be safe on the internet and remember that people will try to take advantage of you.

He’s not mad,He’s just Disappointed WIP

I posted the top part a while ago but never provided the context. Basically an elaborate meme I never got around to finishing. Mordecai would definitely be the last survivor in a zombie apocalypse. Honestly though, I don’t think I’ll finish it. I got bored 😬 figured maybe someone would find it a bit entertaining, despite the horrible rendering.

Enjoy drunk college girl and sausage link boy zombies.

Oh my sweet, how I've missed you. Telling you on here because I want to see you smile and be happy once more. If I could steal the sun and put it to your heart to warm it, I'd do it in the blink of a newly darkened eye.

-You [should] know who

Hehe, if this is who I think it is, then I'm sorry for the wait!!! I missed you too <33
