In less than an hour, Lackadaisy exceeded it's 125K goal on Backerkit on the first day. In that same first day, we've already funded 500K, half of that last Million Dollar goal. In five days, we reached 900K. Last night while I was sleeping, we managed to fund the full ONE MILLION!!! And, along with all of these Backerkit goals being reached, the Lackadaisy Pilot on YouTube reached 10 MILLION views!
Think about that! Over one Million Dollars, in just 8 days! Half of a million on the first day. That's extraordinary! Thank you to everyone who has been working on Lackadaisy. Tracy, Newt, Fable. All of the voice actors. Every single sound designer. Every clean up artist. Every storyboard artist. The violinist who played Rocky's violin parts! Every musician. Everybody else who had a contribution to the series in some way, thank you!
Thank you to the fans who were able to back the project. Thank you to those who may not be able to back the project, your support still matters!
The Lackadaisy community is so supportive, welcoming and kind.
The Lackadaisy community is by far one of the best communities and fandoms I've been a part of. Everyone is so kind, nice, and welcoming to everyone. Whether you've been here since the comics, or since the pilot came out (I'm this one!), or anywhere in between, we've all come together for the silly booze cats and a great time. Seeing all the Lackadaisy fanart, LackaOcs, fanfiction, all of it, makes me so happy! It's nice to see such a big and heartwarming community. There's a place for everyone, and everyone is so kind to each other. Seeing every theory and discussion makes me giddy with joy, because who knows what could happen next?
Every person who loves a certain character to a certain degree of insanity normality (Don't worry, I'm guilty of this too!), and finds comfort in them, it's so nice to see people finding comfort in something as great as Lackadaisy. Whether you love the poetic Rocky, the stoic Mordecai, the baby boy baby Freckle, the ecstatic flapper Ivy, the dynamic duo Savoys, or anyone else, I love being able to see how these characters make everyone feel good.
And that's just how great the community is. I haven't talked about Lackadaisy itself!
When I read the Lackadaisy comics, or (re)watch the pilot, it's clear that a lot of love has been put into making Lackadaisy what it is. Each character feels so real, their personalities are so in depth, you feel as if you can find someone with their same personality in the real world. I knew a guy who was almost exactly like Mordecai! And the character's backstories make you/me want to cry and give them a little hug. Everything is so in-depth, and well thought out about.
The time and research Tracy must have done to also make Lackadaisy historically accurate is amazing. I love reading the comic on the website (Lackadaisy.com) and seeing the little notes at the bottom of every part in the little box thing that may explain some 1920s slang, or something that people may not get right away. I've personally learned quite a bit about this time period thanks to Lackadaisy, and I have even done some extra research myself.
And the art. Oh, the art and graphics! Lackadaisy's art style, both in the comics and the pilot, have inspired me a lot in my own art. Studying the style and drawings of silly little booze cats have helped me improve quite a bit.
The story is so intuitive, and in the comics, I love how we can see a bit about each character, whether it be through flash backs or retellings (Like when the Savoys tell Mordecai about them). When you reach a comic chapter that doesn't include a certain character, you wonder "What's going on with them right now?". Lackadaisy's story is easily something that makes you want more.
Usually, when I get into a fandom, I tend to stay for maybe a month or less, then drift off. I don't know why, perhaps I just don't connect with it. But, Lackadaisy is one of the few that I really connect with. The community is one of the reasons I connect with this fandom. I've made so many friends and mutuals through Lackadaisy. It's also nice to see how Tracy and so many people who worked on Lackadaisy look through the Lackadaisy tag and like people's posts, it means a lot to fans like me!
I've had a fixation on the 1900s-1960's for quite some time, maybe since 4th/5th grade. I've seen a few fandoms that wrap arounf anywhere in that time period, but Lackadaisy is the first to go all in with this period. That's another reason I stay.
And overall, I love the booze cats! I love them all!! Especially Mordecai!! Mordy my beloved!
So, thank you to everyone ever! I can't wait to see something great! I'm really happy to see that Lackadaisy has a bright future!! :) <3

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST
*newly added to post
Where's the rest of Marianne's family? What is her relationship with her brother (both when Marianne was young and now, when they're adults)?
Hi, thank you for the question! Sorry it took me awhile to answer life and procrastination got in the way 😅 but here we go:
So the relationship with her brother, Sebastian, has always been strong even as kids. Despite an 8 year age gap, Sebastian adored his little sister taking care of her (practically raising her) since their parents were always too busy with their own business deals.
They left their grandmother back in Còrdoba and the family had moved to Florida making their own arrangements in selling illegal wine.
While young Maríanne was in her own world, Sebastian was always suspicious of the men that would come around their house and chat with his parents. The young boy always had a feeling that things wouldn’t end well.
To this day, he hated how right he was…
As adults they went their separate ways. They still write letters to each other on occasion to see if the other is still alive and the update in each other of their daily lives.
However, the letters tend to get lost (sometimes) since running under an alias can confuse the mailman.
(Thank you again for asking this question I will get to your next one 🤧)
*chucks it into your face*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HELDIG!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH BIRTHDAY GIRLIEEEEEEEEEE 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
YIPPEEEE YIPPEE!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Aaaand level 29 achieved! :3 Yippie! ✨
One year until gorgeous 30. ✨🔥😎🔥✨ I wish myself to have a reason to smile everyday, an artistic development, much strength and time to bring into the world every project I'm burning with.
Meanwhile, this is a birthday post for silent congratulations.
It’s a tradition I started 5 years ago, being inspired by the same thing that my good acquaintance also did for years. I know what anxiety and shyness is, and I also know how the feeling of experiencing problems with finding the right words to congratulate someone, even if you want to, can eat you up inside sometimes.
So, if you would like to wish me happy birthday without any words, just click the ‘like’ button and I will be the happiest person ever, feeling your attention. 💖 Though if you would like to wish me happy birthday in any other way, I will highly appreciate that and will be very glad, too!
And, as usually, have a nice day and let’s celebrate it with a nice hot cup of coffee! Cheers! ✨
