i understand the whole "stop applying modern labels to the hypothetical gender & sexual identities of historical figures" argument but you gotta admit. just as a thought experiment it might be PRETTY DAMN FUN to imagine "okay say this renowned 19th century novelist was trans as fuck. how would we have to reinterpret their vast vast written body of work?"
When are you planning to release the official series of Lackadaisy?
I'm really looking for it, and I love your artwork!
Thank you!
Official release dates, though...ah, flashbacks to years spent working in the game industry...
Forgive my sidelong answers below. If I rattled off specific dates right now, I'd just end up being wrong, so I won't. There are just too many variables at work to pin it down yet. As we get closer to release dates on things, though, I'll speak up about it.
I can say that before this year is out, we're planning to release some vignettes (mini-mini-episodes if you will). After that, we'll release one of 3 promised mini-episodes. The one presently in production is actually pretty sizable for a 'mini', and I feel it has some substance and pertinence to Season 1, so I hope it won't be disappointing that a season episode isn't the first thing to premiere. Season episodes, at the earliest, might start appearing in the later part of 2024 (though, again, we'll have multiple other things to share between now and then).
Aside from the reality that animation takes a long time to do, the reasons for this release plan are multifold:
It gives us an opportunity to do the remaining setup work needed to make Iron Circus Animation operate more formally like a studio with an eye on long term sustainability.
It gives us time to smooth out our production pipeline and to get our team leads and other crew acclimated to how things will work going ahead.
It gives us time to fit in the merch fulfillment work for BackerKit.
It gives us a little more time to tighten up the longer episode scripts and to make sure the season as a whole feels right. (Tons of visual development is already happening for the episodes, though, as is music composition.)
Hi May, I think with everything going on, I would encourage those who are disappointed in how F1 is dealing with these issues to:
Watch F1 Academy—their broadcast having large numbers will make a statement, especially if it surpasses F2’s viewing numbers.
Boycott watching the F1 race this weekend, or choose to watch it *other* ways, so their viewership numbers are down.
In a perfect world, and with more time we’d be able to organize a more effective boycott to where the F1A numbers being inflated and the F1 numbers being deflated brought the two numbers much closer together than they ever should be, but hopefully we can still make a statement!
Whatever you do, please make sure you do not click here or here if you wanted to watch Formula 1 for free, as that would be illegal 😏
But do watch F1 Academy races for free on YouTube 🫡
it’s 3am so watch me commiserate over this clip that’s been living in my head rent free for months now and making me sad once again after recent events
that feeling of it being just dapper and q!bad against the world returns once again
“i’m the only one who can watch you”
it’s the fact that the guy that would sacrifice eveything for any of the kids to stay safe, no matter how much strife or hatred or nasty words any of the parents could throw at him, is the one who feels like he has no one watching out for his own but himself. dapper is only an afterthought to the others. someone to remember only after all the terrible things have already happened. of course the halo family has others who they trust, but over and over again it’s shown that there’s a reason why q!bad is basically dapper’s whole world and why dapper is his sunshine
this is isn’t something new. they’ve both always shared this sentiment. dapper, the sole escapee off egg island, having only his dad at his side as they ran to that boat. and more recently, no one making sure dapper could ride out on the train with the rest of the islanders and eggs into the new server when they left that library
they “left me behind” and “just forgot me”
thankfully q!etoiles started to run back, but the fact that no one checked in the first place, that it seemed like q!etoiles was really the only one to notice even though plenty of others saw that dapper was online and around. q!bad is the only one who’s ever had dapper as priority number one in anything
that poor kid said it herself, she thinks she’s not one of the favorites. he thinks the others will be prioritized first. and they’re unfortunately likely right about that unless it comes to their dad
so the mantra continues; it’s simply dapper and q!bad against the world, to have each others backs, to live and die for each other
