Once again (and unsurprisingly) a Lackadaisy meme. I found some of those “tag someone” meme templates and I now have a bunch like this which you will see this week, if the stars align correctly (they will. I am very positive about this).
You may be wondering why I placed Wick in the ALL CAPS TEXT MESSAGES category. I decided that he probably is one of those guys that is pretty young but completely unironically texts as a grandpa would.

Angsty Lackadaisy Headcanon!
Growing up, Rocky often wrote letters to his father while he was “working on the railroad” and he consistently got replies. It wasn’t until he left home after the “incident” that he stopped getting letters from his father.
The reason? Aunt Nina wrote every single one of his “father’s” replies.

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
There is one moment in the pilot 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
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
This is what we see the tail end of in the trailer for Season one
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
The Lackadaisy Wicki provides a nice breakdown
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
When he finally returns "home" to St Louis he attempts to reconnect with his deadbeat dad only to realize that he had skipped town quite some time ago and once again is not there for him.
Knowing better than to expect a warm welcome from Aunt Nina he is once again all alone with nowhere to go. Simply living on the streets with pidgeons as his only companions
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But all that changes when he meets Mitzi May by chance around 1925 while busking in the street with his violin after charming her with his music.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This makes Mitzi his patron, and indeed his saviour from a vagrant existence when she lets him join Zib's band, then playing exclusively at 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 town he thinks of as home
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
Though it should be noted while he wants the Lackadaisy to be saved he wants it done on very specific 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 gratitude to her as his "saviour", partly him having a crush on her, mostly its 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
Tumblr media
This is why in both the pilot and the comic he is so devastated when he sees that she is dissapointed with his efforts.
Tumblr media
This is also why in both you can see a (barely) passive aggressive 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
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
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

Lackadaisy
When their s/o accidentally farts.  😮
And it was in that moment you know…you fu**ed up. They laugh. Hard. “S/o did your ass say something or what?!” They will make fun of you, and probably use it against you whenever they feel like it. But If they see that it hurts you, then they’ll tone it down of course. Honestly, they probably already have been farting in front of you before and laugh about it, especially if you make a funny face.
Asa, Nicodeme, Serafine
Those cats doesn't give a fu*k. You must likely get a quick side glance, but that’s it. They are respectful and grown up. Everyone farts, it’s natural. Why make such a fuss? But if they notice that you are freaking out about it, they will simply tell you, “Don’t worry about it s/o, it happens for everyone. I'm not gonna make fun of you.” (or something like that). However they expect the same respect from you if they ever would let out a fart as well.
Atlas, Viktor, Dominic, Elsa, Mrs Bapka, 
Disgust…Is written over their face. “s/o did you just…gross..” Will probably move a few steps away from you. They won't be like that for long tho, but they expect you to apologize for your little “mistake”. This will never happen to them of course! They excuse themselves to the bathrooms or when they know nobody is around. 
Mordecai, Ivy, Abelard, Lacy, Nina, Mitzi?
They are quiet and give you a surprised expression 👀😶 They are trying to think of what they should say or do. Should they tell you it’s ok, it happens? No then s/o might be even more embarrassed. Should they just laugh it off? No that would be mean. Maybe they should… But under those seconds they are trying to think of something. They are either giving out different weird face expressions or looking at you with a straight 😐 face. Which may come out the wrong way.
Wick, Calvin, Horatio, Bobby?
Looking at you and then giving you a little teasing smirk. “Did you hear something, hmm?” But they would stay at that. They would self be a little embarrassed if it was them farting in front of their lover, so they wouldn't make a big deal out of it. They have probably been covering it up when they fart and talking about something or gone somewhere else with you to avoid the smell. 
Zib, Rocky
Doesn't even notice, lol.
Virgil

I love to imagine Rocky occasionally taking Clancy with him to visit Nina, and whenever Rocky isn't looking, Clancy is just staring her down like
Tumblr media
He just
Really fucking hates her, man.
She kicked Rocky out when he was 16, which indirectly led him to becoming a criminal, and even before then, she never seemed all that warm and patient towards him, based on what he's told Clancy about his childhood. Even before his first time meeting Nina, Clancy's opinion of her was already quite low, and seeing how unenthusiastic she was to see Rocky back after so many years only solidified his distaste for her. It doesn't really help that he himself is a little ADHD goblin, with a bit of autism thrown in. He isn't aware that he has these things as he hasn't been diagnosed (I don't even know how far back the history of such diagnoses goes), but he's been living with the symptoms all his life, and he understands all too well what it's like to have people in his life judge him negatively for aspects of himself that he can't do much of anything about.
So yeah, Clancy isn't a terribly big fan of Rocky's aunt.

Jellybeans, I don’t know about you but I am still reeling from the announcement of the Lackadaisy Season 1 Backerkit. To celebrate I am posting the same amount of memes as usual.

From the recent talk with my husband. xdd
Andrew: So Mau and Rocky only have her father from the older relatives, right?
Me: Why, there's also Nina. Just imagine what their first meeting with Augusto would've been. :D
Andrew: Well, he is Italian. A spectacular man. He'll manage.
Me: Mm-hm, yeah, Augusto is like: "Piacere di conoscerla, signora!" and kisses her hand. And Nina blushes and shyly giggles in response. While both Freckle and Rocky are panicking in the background with their faces screaming "UNDO IT, UNDO IT!!!!!!!!"
Andrew: Come on, it'll be fine, both Italian and Irish people are catholic. I'm sure Nina and Gusto will get along well!
Me, chuckling: Maaaybe, but not in a romantic way. That would've been a totally disastrous marriage for countless reasons. :'D
Andrew with a hilariously sad exhale: Eh, the unfairly forbidden love union of pizza with potatoes... :c

Introducing Ivy to Nina
Freckle meets Ruby (Ivy's dad)
Tw: None :>
Freckle's tail twitched with anxiety as he stood outside his home. He had smoothed out his fur, and worn his mother's favorite suit jacket. It took all of his energy to flatten his bristling fur, in the corner of his eye he could see his silver furred cousin Rocky from the bushes. The cat offered him one of his signature manic grins of support. Now don't get him wrong. He loved his mother... but he was also mortified that she would be unapproved of his girlfriend. Ivy. Ivy stood tall next to him, her beautiful gray fur glowing silver in the moonlight. She wore a loose pastel green layered dress that went down to below her knees, with a matching green cloche hat. Her long thin wiry tail intertwined with his soothingly, as she fixed her hair. 
"Honey, are you alright?" Her sweet voice cutting through his worrisome thoughts. "You know I can always meet your mother some other time right?" Her piercing yellow stare looking into his eyes. "If your worried-"
"N-No." Freckle shook his head, his ear twitching. "I can do this. It's okay." Swallowing a lump in his throat he knocked on the door. The few seconds waiting for his mother to open the door felt like crawling through hell itself. As each second ticked by he could feel his skin prickle and fur bristle, fear clawing its way up his neck. 
"Calvin?" His mother opened the door, her hair tied back into a tight bun as she smoothened out her skirt. Her small ginger stature sent shivers up his spine. "Who's that you got with you?" She narrowed her eyes, fixing her glasses as she looked Ivy up and down. "You better not be getting hanky panky with her Calvin." (I don't know 1920's slang :'<) Nina's tail swished. 
"What? No Mother." Freckle shook his head, "I- I uh... I'm courting her? Yeah... I wanted you to meet her Mother." He fiddled with his paws, his anxiety eating him alive as his mother inspected Ivy. Earlier both he and Rocky had briefed Ivy on how to act and talk around his mother. Well actually Freckle did most of the briefing while Rocky screamed poetry about how to avoid angering "the wrath and fury that is the woman of ginger fur and short stature." Whatever that meant. 
"What's your name?" Nina asked as she finally let the couple inside. Her brilliant yellow eyes analyzed Ivy and her son as they walked in. Nina had to admit, the girl seemed like a sweet one. Large yellow eyes and soft gray fur, the young cat held herself up with an air of upper class, her thin and wiry body graceful and stunning.
"My name is Ivy. Ivy Pepper. Mrs. McMurray." Ivy smiled as she stepped inside, holding her purse in her hand as she smiled. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you Ma'am."
"Hmph." Nina frowned. "Would you like some tea Ms. Pepper?" Nina asked as she poured three cups of tea. 
"Yes Ma'am." Ivy smiled, sitting down next to Freckle. 
"How did you meet my son Ivy?" Nina asked as she sipped her tea. Her eyes were cold as she analyzed every one of Ivy's moves as if to find a single blunder. 
"W-We met at a cafe." Freckle offered, twisting their meeting into a less… scandalous version of events. 
"Did she start courting you?" Nina asked wryly, her tail lashing. 
"N-No." Freckle shook his head. "I approached her first..." That was a blatant lie, but alas if they wanted this to work they had to. "She was... uh... drinking tea... and she looked like a nice young woman so I asked to speak to her for a bit." 
"Hmph." Nina narrowed her eyes. "I suppose you do seem like a nice young lady Ms.Pepper." Nina closed her eyes as she sipped her tea. “What does your family do for work?” (I dont actually know what he works as so I’ll just pretend he's also a mine owner)
“My father owns a quarry, a little out of Kansas City, currently I’m going to college.” Ivy prattled off, her happy chipper voice polite as usual. “Anything else Ma’am?”
“I suppose. I shall consider this arrangement then.” Nina hummed, “Now Ms. Pepper, if you could wait outside for a moment I must discuss it with my son.” 
“Yes Ma’am.” Ivy smiled, her heels clacking against the floor as she left the room. Freckle almost cried at the sight of Ivy’s slender tail vanishing behind the door, leaving him to answer his mother’s questions.  
“So what do you think, Mother?” Freckle asked as he wrung his tail in his paws. Worried thoughts ran through his head; What if Ivy was too straightforward? What if her manners were off? What if his mother didn't like her? However his worried thoughts were interrupted by his mother’s booming voice. 
“Stop messing with your tail Calvin. You'll ruin your fur.” Nina finished sipping her tea. “I suppose the girl is soft spoken. A good woman for you Calvin.” Nina folded her hands in her lap. 
“You like her?” Freckle’s ears pricked in excitement. 
“Now wait there Calvin.” Nina raised a paw, “I do quite like this young lady, however I do not know if she is the right fit for you.” Upon the sight of Freckles' dejectedness, Nina rubbed her temple. “However, I will give her time, Calvin.” She looked at her son. “And if she proves to be fit, I give you my blessing.” It took all of Freckles' self control to not jump for joy. 
“Thank you Mother.” Freckle beamed, his tail swishing side to side in excitement. 
“Yes. Yes Calvin.” Nina waved a hand, “Have you met her papa yet?”
“Errrrr… yep. He’s a little busy but I managed to speak with him over the phone.” Freckle lied with a smile, praying to the heavens that his mother wouldn't catch that lie.  
“Good. Remember no hanky panky until after marriage.” Nina waved a finger at her son. “Understood? I want no such godless behavior under my roof.”
“Yes Mother.” Freckle smiled, scurrying out of the room, practically quivering with excitement to tell Rocky and Ivy the news. Nina sat down in her chair chuckling. 
“That’s a good one Calvin.” She wiped her hands on her apron watching as Freckle ran over to the car where Ivy was waiting for him. 
“Goodbye Mrs. McMurray.” Ivy called out curtseying to the older cat from outside as she entered the vehicle. “So how did I do?” Ivy asked once Rocky managed to drive the car a few blocks away from the house. “Did I pass?”
“She approves!” Freckle beamed.
