Why does it look like she just called someone a booger? A poopyhead.

That or she is threatening someone... you never know with Ivy.

Things are very busy right now in Lackadaisy Land, but here's a Little Ivy animation for something we have brewing! Rough animation by Sam Kessler. Happy Indie Animation Day!

The way their hight and size difference evolved throughout the years

A show the last picture to my friends every time I need to make a point.

#they went from minor hight difference to very clear distance to BOY OH BOY #HOW? #like good for him but HOW???? #viktor needs to pass the work out rutine #but now that i think about it depression and alcohol might not be the best for anybody #lackadaisy #viktor vasko #mordecai heller #vikdecai #viktor x mordecai #tracy g. butler #lackadaisy cats

I can't believe you spoiled the season 2 finale of Good Omens with a Vikdecai meme

Yeah, so I have thoughts about how their reunion might go-

I always loved how you and your team have been very forward when talking about the animation process for the Lackadaisy Pilot or other things like this. It's always so interesting to know more about the process!

Congrats on releasing another animated short! The animation is so smooth and expressive! but i have to ask. Did you redesign Mordecai’s face? It’s so subtle I had to rewatch it but he looks cuter than in the pilot. Is it because hes younger and we’re seeing him in a different context? Or are you redesigning him for the series and if so are any other characters getting a makeover?

Hey, thanks very much! We didn't redesign his face, but there are a few things contributing to him looking a bit different.

We went with a deliberately "slicked back" look for him in the pilot so that he'd appear distinctly older and more put-together than Rocky, Freckle, and Ivy. But for "Stratagem" and some other things we're working on, set at an earlier point in the 1920s, we've reintroduced his hair fluff up front. For such a small change, it does tend to soften him a lot.

His clothes. In the pilot, he's wearing a big, turned up collar that looks almost like a cobra hood. His collar is much smaller in Stratagem, so you can see his otherwise not-very-imposing frame.

He's far more, er, animated in the recent animation. His eyes are more wide open and he's a great deal more expressive, with agitated hand gestures. This was also deliberate. He's really putting on the sangfroid-face in the pilot. In the new short, he's revealing a much less constrained side.

----

About other characters, yes, we've been fleshing out their reference sheets a bit more and spit-polishing their designs. The band members have had an overhaul to make them a lot more distinct and detailed, and Viktor has also undergone some rework to address some animation issues we encountered with him in the pilot. Lots of costume changes too. You can see a lot of the changes I described above and a lot of new character designs for Season 1 on the Lackadaisy Patreon.

It's been 84 years....

*slaps Viktor* this bad boy can fit so much trauma in it!

This one comes with a little gore warning. There are very graphic descriptions.

Now that the introduction is finished the actual story can start to get going!

I was having a good day, y'know? It was a very good day even. WHY?

A thing I like about them is how they both got very different outcomes from this situation that would lead to the same fate.

Viktor is slowly fading away inside his lonely apartment with bullet holes remembering the past. Useless to those around him. But at least he is at the Lackadaisy, he is still in a nice environment.

Meanwhile, Mordecai hasn't stoo doing, hasn't stop working, hasn't stop being used since Atlas death. He is overworking himself in a workplace he hates, no bullets on his body but a carving his coworkers did to him in order to "keep him safe". He is useful. Too useful. Useful as a tool.

Eventually, they will both die thanks to this job. One can only be a prodigy for so long and all toys are meant to break no matter how special they are. Other toys are left in a shelf, collecting dust until their batteries run out and they are tossed into the garbage.

Of course they are not a lost cause. When left in the right hands, toys can last many more years than intended. Be played with the right amount of times and be given maintenance when needed. They serve their purpose and then treated kindly.

But unfortunately I don't think neither of them are in the right hands.

Hey, Vicdecai shippers! All of you! Espesially those who ship one-sided Vicdecai and relish that Mordecai-the-repressed-gay-man angst! Don't you find you all miss something? Because I think you are.

Because Victor, the cis man Mordecai has that tragic crush on? Well. Imagine you are Victor. That cis slavic guy who has a wife and beloved beautiful kid.

Imagine you had them, but you are changed by The Great War now so irreversibly your wife cannot accept you, she cannot live with the man you are now. She left and she took your dear child, too.

And than you meet a person, a person who is more than fine with that war broken man you're now, a person who's always by your side, a person worth diying for... Hell, a person worth putting a fucking tie on a fucking New Year for!

But you can't love him. Because you have a wife and a kid. And he is a man. And you cannot love him, because men do not betray their wives and do not love other men, that is simply a rule and you now can't live without being true to some rules in your broken life, without orders of life...

And than that person betrays you and your found family. And you just start losing your purpose

Even better: It is post kneecaping.

Asa is like "Let's unite the Lackadaisy with the Marigold!" And Mitzi is like "Sure because we really need the help. Also let's marry some people off to show the new bond.... I don't want to involve Ivy... you can have Viktor."

And so Asa makes gay marriage a thing in the 1920

That or a Fantasy World au... both work.

vikdecai but a fic about arrange marriage and it goes from enemies to lover trope
