Lacka-oc's Part 4!

Calliope: Recollection

(a poorly drawn mini-comic inspired by a recent convo between yours truly and @ahhhh-118, enjoy!)

Translation:

Cairns family homestead, 1917...

Adeline: Calliope?... Where are you going with that shovel?

Calliope: just gonna go withdraw some money, mum.

Calliope (in mind): just a little money...

A few years earlier...

Robert: Oi, Calli! Where yah goin'?

Calliope: Goin' down to feed the sheep, why?

Callum: *narrows eyes in suspicion*

Robert: You've only got a few more bucks in your allowance, so.yah betta make it count.

Calliope: Yessir!

Calliope (in present mind): *sigh*

Calliope (still in present mind): It's just to keep us fed... I promise I'll pay you back... Someday

For context, this follows an eighteen year old Calliope (aka, when she still had long hair) whose mother approaches her about where she's going. Calliope responds that she's going to withdraw money, but doesn't tell her that she's withdrawing money from the secret stash of money Calli and her brothers had stolen from banks and buried out on their families property (they come from a family of cattle farmers). Calli reminisces to herself about only taking a little, before we're thrown back to a fifteen year old Calli with her two older brothers Robert and Callum. Robert asks Calli where she's going and she responds with lie, of which her brothers catch onto. Robert replying with what he knows she's actually going to do, and says to use the rest of what she has in her 'allowance' wisely. As to make it even they had divided up their loot. Calli salutes him with her shovel before we cut to eighteen year old Calli thinking to herself, this time about how she would pay back her brothers the money she took from them to be able to feed her and her mother while they were away fighting in the great war. If they ever did come home, that is...

Woo, that was a doozy! Sorry for making the post so long 😅, there was just too much info I wanted to stuff in. Thank you so very much to the people that read this far!

With that in mind, have a splendiferous day/night!

Hispanic lackadaisy oc anybody??!! 🇲🇽🖤

Awwww, he's adorable ❤️❤️❤️

💜 Another of my Lackadaisy ocs 💜

🍀 This is Cassie’s little brother 🐰

Been in a bit of an art block as of recently, but got inspired to try and make a Lacka-oc trio of sorts. I've (almost) fully created the character, though I'm stuck between where I want her to grow up/what kind of accent I want her to have. 🤔

Background information: This character is a small-time singer and dancer, and will perform at any place that will have her. Her family is (or at least was) affiliated with a gang though due to circumstances were forced to flee. She is 26 (born on the 14th of Feb, 1901), and is loosely inspired by Clara Bow. She has a chatty and amiable personality compared to her two companions *cough* Calli & Maeve *cough*, and is into the more modern fashion of the current period (aka 1920s). Though she also has a bit of a gossipy side to her, and will not hesitate to talk about someone behind their back if she feels so inclined.

As always, have a good day/night! 😘

AHHHHHHHHHHH! They're all so gorgeous ❤️

wakes up from a cold sweat

i need to design Ari's parents

Happy birthday to Ace! 🥳🥳🥳

Guess who's birtday it is today?

Ace would have been 119 by 2024 and only two years away from surpassing god. Though unlikely, in my heart he is trucking along today continuously baffling Christendom by continuing to live.

I’m not very experienced with animation and i have a tendency to brute force my way through a problem instead of looking up a tutorial lol, but I’m pretty happy with this. The secondary motion in the ears and neckerchief are a bit janky but the tail sway I’m pretty proud of. As well as the anticipation before the yank on the calender.

I also simplified his design a little bit. As much as i love it, the fur pattern can be difficult to track so i left out the spots on his arms and tail. The face stayed the same though as its what most important.

And of course tumblr crunched the quality to hell so heres a little boogie gif with better quality

Thank you very much! 😁

Thought of a question without any rhyme or reason whatsoever, but how would the Mulligan's fare individually on a sports reality show (if you could call it that), ala American ninja warrior?

Y'know, that's something I never thought about for the Mulligans, kudos! I'll say on their behalf that overall, the three would put up a good effort, though I have my doubts about all three of them reaching the finals. But individually;

Desmond: Despite the initial crowd reactions, Des would definitely put up a suprising show of fast and fluid parkour at the start, being that he has a good amount of leg strength from his years of ardent running, with some arm strength to help him with any climbing he may encounter. Though, the high intensity of the course towards the end would be his downfall, especially with that jumping-ladder-thingamajig, if that's still a part of the course.

Edward: Eddie here would be considered more a man of strength, not of agility. I can see him getting a good start as well, though because of his mass, getting through the majority of the course would be incredibly difficult for him to endure, without a doubt. Just imagine a novice bodybuilder trying to parkour, and you'd get Edward.

Flynn: Of the three, Flynn likely has the best chance of beating the course, granted he gets enough training beforehand. Not to say he'd win in a heartbeat, but his overall physique and energy would be great tools for managing the types of obstacles provided, especially the monkey bars and the final vertical climb.

Hopefully this answers your question, thank you so much for asking! 😄🥷

Second Lacka-oc finished!

(Transcription for any who find the image too blurry):

Born: November 27th, 1903

Salem, Massachusetts

Maeve Midwinter, the proprietor (and solitary worker) of a cosy little bookstore in downtown St. Louis. The epitome of a pristine and upstanding citizen, she carries herself with utmost pride. Serving her community like the very legal citizen she is.

Well... Aside from her random bursts of uncontrollable rage. But she will assure you it was just the amount of caffeine she had in her coffee that morning, "It's nothing, I assure you!". But besides that, Maeve has devoted her life to her books, the few things in life she finds worth her time. That, and the fact that she chooses to associate with what her mother would call the scum of the earth, supplying speakeasies with a portion of illegally made wine. Though perhaps being a supplier certainly has its... Perks. For example, getting to know the charming Australian bootlegger working for the infamous Marigold gang. Who she seems to have taken quite the liking to.

Among the pleasantness of her small bookshop on the corner, this gentlewoman enjoys listening to the ambience of her many records on her gramaphone. Coupled with the oh so calming turn of a book page when nobody is around. Loving all fashion with ruffles and jewels to them, she collects anything even remotely shiny she can get her little mitts on. As well as being an avid lover of dark humour, and strawberry flavoured macarons.

Very happy to have Maeve's character card done, I find her to be the more ostentatious of the three given her... wealthier upbringing.

As always, have a dazzling rest of your day/night! 😘
