Hello Sorry To Bother You With This All Of Sudden ,and This Might Be Coming Out Of Nowhere, And I’m

AHAHAHAGUSJFZTUXBH- *cough cough* pardon me. Just finished Calli's little character poster after... Multiple hours, and here it is!

Transcription (so sorry for the blurriness 😭):

Born: December 6th, 1899

Murray bridge, South Australia

Born and raised on the murky expanse of the Murray river, Calliope was always one for life on her family's cattle farm. And, undenounced to her parents, the life of a small-time bank robber in the latter half of her teenage years. Considered more wayward and rebellious the older she got, it came as a shock to her when her elder brothers, and father, were enlisted in the armed forces to fight in the great war. Leaving only her and her mother to take care of the farm for the years they were away. And by circumstances of a tragic heartbreak, Calliope left her homeland and became a stowaway on a cargo ship heading for the distant lands of the Americas. In the hopes of finding an opportunity to build a new life for herself.

Though as they always say, old habits die hard. With the young Australian lass getting recruited for little pay in the esteemed Marigold gang. Now both a well-known patron, and a long-time bootlegger. Nothing, and she means nothing, is getting in the way of her current life. Or... That's what she thinks at least.

Living a congenial life on the wooden panels and planks of the Marigold room's backstage area, and being mostly forgotten about by a certain Marigold night manager. Calliope enjoys a plethora of... Interesting activities. Those including: Precarious automobile operating, wrangling with almost any cattle you put in front of her, mending household appliances, and dutifully using a shotgun. Her weapon of choice.

Woo! Thank you for reading all that (if you did), Maeve and Angel are going to be here (hopefully) soon. Feel free to ask any questions!

As always, have a magnificent day/night! 😘

HAPPY SPOOKY MONTH!!!👻👻🐍

I’ve been planning this idea for a while and decided to make a Lacrimosa Lackadaisy portrait for Maríanne Villanueva

Thank you to @rudnitskaia and @acesandocs for helping me edit the poem ✨

(It’s been a while since I’ve done poetry)

Lacrimosa lackadaisy comic was originally made by Tracy Butler

Would Mari Apple (ponified Marianne) get along with Apple Jack? Lol

:D !!❤️

Well I think regular-Maríanne and Apple Jack would get along. Maríanne appreciates kind, honest, and hardworking people. Would see Apple Jack as a voice of reason.

But Marí Apple….

Nah. There’s a reason they don’t talk about her.

She’d be good friends with Discord tho 😭

THANK YOU SO MUCH! SHE IS SO P R E T T Y

AND THE DRESSSSSSSS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WE LOVE OUR MEXI-GUATE GIRL (yes she’s half Guatemalan!) I LOVE HER MY BABY

CALAMITY THIS IS SO SWEET 🥺❤️❤️

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month peeps!!! ❤️❤️🔥🔥 AND HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO BOTH GUATEMALA AND MEXICO ❤️❤️🇬🇹🇲🇽❤️❤️

Hispanic heritage month is upon us

So I kidnapped this super cool Veracruzana from @ahhhh-118 to represent (REPRESENT BABY WOoO!)

AHH

MARÍ’S RELATIONSHIPS PT 2.:

Ivy 💃🌼👒:

Very fond of her! Maríanne claims that she is Ivy’s self-proclaimed mentor (seriously idk why she is like this). She trained Ivy when she first started working at the cafe. In their free time, Maríanne will offer to teach Ivy how to box and how to shoot a shotgun (like how Delilah taught her back in New York). When Ivy agrees, Maríanne gains a new training buddy and Ivy gets another shopping buddy! Ivy introduces her to the latest trends and they often hangout when they’re not training. Marí will try to throw in some life lessons during the hangouts but Ivy would be too busy on choosing between two different kinds of hats.

Thoughts: “it’s a tough world out there! In this dangerous life, I have to teach this young girl how to defend herself!”

Current: “I’m very proud of her but what is she doing?!”

Mitzi 🍷💸🦚:

She enjoys her company and may or may not see her as a slight mother figure! When Maríanne first arrived to Lackadaisy, Mitzi pitied her like Viktor. Mitzi would take care of Marí while she was recovering from her wounds bringing her food, fresh bandages, and pain medicine when Mordecai isn’t able to. She’d always dote on Maríanne and try to cheer her up as best as she could. Simply distracting Marí from her worries by asking about her journey out on the streets and about Rocky. Mitzi introduced Marí to Zib and the band once she heard about her street performance. She definitely had lend a hand in convincing Atlas to let Maríanne stay at Lackadaisy. As Marí healed, Mitzi would join in on Ivy and Marianne’s shopping sprees. Maríanne finds Mitzi very sweet and comforting, (sometimes getting unsolicited dating advice from her) and deeply cares about her.

Thoughts: “She’s very pretty, her soft voice reminds me of my mother sometimes. I don’t like to think too far back but she makes sure that I’m having a good day. I feel like I owe more to her than I do Atlas.”

Current: “I trust she could make it work and rebuild it. But from what Mordecai told me…her chances feel slim. I’ll do what I can to give her hand, I might’ve left Lackadaisy but I won’t abandon it completely. It was my home because of her.”

Horatio🐀♣️:

Not too close, but a casual friendship. Maríanne is very polite with him, indulging in some small talk and catching up on life. When the cafe is empty, Maríanne helps Horatio clean up and prepare the speakeasy for the night. They also feed the rats together. Fun fact: Marí loves rodents!

Thoughts: “Great man! Respects the rats and stands firmly at the door. Rocky refers to him as someone who protects the front gates of our a great kingdom. He’s our mighty guard!”

Wick🪨🥃💵:

Doesn’t really interest her. He’s just another rich man in her eyes. When they do talk, she finds him pleasant and less obnoxious. So she’s okay with him.

Thoughts: “Rocks and bugs? Interesting, I guess?”

Freckle🔫🪶🥪:

Heard about him through Rocky, so she has a very high liking towards him. When Marí meets him, she’s very enthusiastic. Doesn’t understand why he finds her so intimidating or why he’s so shy? Isn’t he Rocky’s cousin? When she sees his trigger happy mode, then she gets her answer. Sees that being a trigger man is his calling, although he is too reckless, she knows enemies will never see it coming due to his innocent face. Marí will care about him and take care of him for Rocky’s sake but is a little threatened by him.

Thoughts: “Great asset to Lackadaisy. I have my eye on him though, he maybe Rocky’s cousin but who knows what else he’s capable of.”

Atlas🪦:

If it weren’t for him, she’d be dead. Maríanne is indebted to him but doesn’t see him as a loving figure more like a mystery. She knows that he keeps a suspicious eye on her constantly when she first arrived, but there wasn’t malice just protectiveness over what’s his. It was better than her previous situation and was thoroughly surprised when he considered her to be a trigger man or the fact that he let her stay. Maríanne knew how much Mordecai looked up to Atlas, so she trusted that he was a good man. Deep down…she always felt something was off but was just happy to find a secure place.

Thoughts: “I was curious to know more about him but with people like him, it’s best to stop digging. When he died, I was devastated but not just for the death of ‘the Atlas May’ but the death of Lackadaisy. A slow, unfair death…”

🐍🐍

THATS ALL FOLKS!! Thank you again @mivanti03 for the questions! ❤️✨

I’ve been waiting for someone to ask that! AH! Sorry it took so long but I hope I answered your questions well ❤️ Thank you! :>

Hello! I am curious what is Marìanne's relationship with Rocky? Also what is her opinion or relationship with the Lackadaisy crew? Does she have any thoughts about them and what is her job exactly?

Does Marìanne have a family? Does she knows about the Marigold?

That's all l could think of, by the way your oc is so pretty and I love that she has snake fangs (I do have another lacka oc that's base on a sliver fox and snake.).

Have a good day/Night!

AHH! Hello! Thank you for the Ask! ❤️ and thank you, she’s my lil snake (even if she denies it) and that’s awesome! I love your art style and how you draw your ocs, they’re all so pretty 🥺❤️ Below gonna drop as much lore as I can! (Of course it might change because my brain likes to keep adding on 🥲)

This is gonna be two separate parts just to space things out! Let’s start with some Maríanne stuff!

🐍🐍

MARÍ’S FAMILY:

Has an older brother with a 12 year age gap, his name is Estefan Villanueva (his name was changed it might change again). He took care of Maríanne when she was much younger. When he got older he found himself a husband with a kid. His future husband helped him raise Maríanne along with his own child.

Her parents are out of commission. It didn’t end well for them. Maríanne thinks about them sometimes but was mostly raised by her brother.

There are some extended family members in Mexico but some died during the revolution. But she has some aunts, uncles, and cousins still kicking!

MARÍ’S JOB:

Oh, yeah, it fluctuates. When she first arrived at Lackadaisy, she started working at the Daisy’s Cafe as a waitress. Taught Ivy the ropes when she came to work there.

Then to keep her mind busy, she becomes Mordecai’s assistant and does a bit of accounting (mostly in her head).

At the same time she starts to work out again and regains her strength, she catches the attention of Atlas. He put her as a trigger man but she always got hurt because she refuses to kill the enemies with a gun (this mentality won’t last forever) and only fights with her fists. She really tries Mordecai’s patience.

The last straw was when she took in a rival gang member and that’s when Mordecai insisted that she doesn’t join their trigger man ventures anymore. Of course, she is still brought along as extra muscle but only for negotiations, but she just cooks books with Mordecai for the most part.

DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT MARIGOLD?

Oh yeah. Yeah she does. When she finds about Mordecai joining them and betraying Lackadaisy, she’s pissed. Once she finds him, she tackles the hell out of him. After almost killing each other, they talked things out like civilized people (if pointing a shotgun and pistol at each other was civilized). They soon made a deal and allied with each other.

Onto her relationships!!

MARÍ’S RELATIONSHIPS/THOUGHTS Pt. 1:

Rocky 🎪🎭🎻:

As part of my “The Rattlesnake and the Jester” AU, they met on the road. After a few coincidences of meeting each other while Maríanne was traveling to Florida, they decided to stick with each other because why not, better than being alone. They do split off but not my by choice. Once they find each other again at Lackadaisy it was a joyous day!

They have a close relationship, always getting into trouble with each other. Performing together on the streets almost everyday made them in synch with each other, it frightens a lot of people when they mimic each other perfectly or say the same sentences at the same time. Chaotic in the streets and chaotic on the dance floors. Swear up and down, they can communicate telepathically by squishing their foreheads together. Their love is a little codependent (totally won’t backfire) but it’s a good one.

They act so stupid and goofy when they’re together, so much so it makes people underestimate them. Together they’re a dynamic duo and can swindle people in a heart beat with their combined charm. One moment you’re like “aww look how stupid they are” and next thing you know, whoops! Your wallet is gone. 🔥Partners in crime!🔥

Her first impressions of him: “He’s cute, funny, charismatic, weird, talkative, but I like it. I love hearing his frantic rambles and poetry, even though I don’t understand the bigger English words.”

Current thoughts: “I will die and fight for him (yep they’re getting together). I still think of him the same way but I understand his rambles now. I like joining in his chaos but I will pull it back once it gets too dangerous or it risks other people’s lives. He’s my safe space and wherever he goes, I follow. I don’t want to lose him again. “

Mordecai 🔪⏱️🔫:

Her mentor (Mordecai never agrees with it but it’s the truth). Back in New York, Marianne’s brother owned a shelter/soup kitchen where Mordecai and his family stopped by from time to time. Marianne’s brother hired Mordecai to be his accountant once he got to know him. Baby Maríanne always followed Mordecai around when he came to the shelter and watched him work. Despite being annoyed by this clingy little child, he’d let her watch because she stayed quiet.

During their prime lackadaisy era, it was no different. Maríanne would come into his office and watch him work or even help him (or tries to, she just ends up being more of an unpaid secretary instead of a fellow accountant cuz Mordecai is very picky).

First Thoughts-“I admire him and I aspire to be like him (people often wonder why). I try to adopt his menacing and stoic demeanor, but it never works. Next best thing is trying to be as agile and quick thinking as him. I really trusts in his advice and judgement. Often finding myself looking to him for answers but I’m not afraid to question them. He keeps me grounded and I’m grateful for the amount of times he kept my mind busy with work. Better than dwelling on the past. Occasionally, I fear him and fear for him. I don’t understand how he can be so cruel but I’m jealous on how quickly he can turn off his emotions. How does he sleep at night?”

Current thoughts: “Can I still trust him?”

Note- Think of Athena and Odysseus from Epic the Musical

Zib and the band🎺🎷🥁🎹🎻:

She loves them. They’ve helped her get through her toughest days and always went to them on her break. They’d sing and dance with each other to the annoyance of most. They f e e d into her gambling addiction (always tempted to gamble her house keys, cuz she believes she’s that good) and she always plays poker with the band. For fun she often plays their instruments, always reaching the trumpet more (iykyk). Marí always hangs with them until Mordecai has to drag her by the scruff to bring her back to work.

She’d mostly do some late night drinking with Zib and they both just wallow in self pity together. ✨Depressed drinking buddies✨ She’d often go to him to learn more about poetry and (before their reunion) would ask him to explain Rocky’s poems to her.

First Thoughts: “They’re fun! I understand why Mordecai refers to them as “lazy hooligans” but I always finds them as a place of peace to let loose. A bunch of talented cool cats! Deep down I want to sing with them on stage but the dance floor just calls to me.

Current thoughts: “They deserve better.”

Viktor 🔧⚒️🛻:

A friend but only talks to him on occasion. She know that Viktor pities her but she doesn’t take it to heart. Marí slightly fears him but sees him as a place to run when they’re creepy men tailing her.

First Thoughts: “Tall. Tall scary fluffy man. I find him incredibly intimidating but I want to be as strong as him. His unwavering strength encouraged me to get strong again. I always feel tempted to ask him to throw me at the enemies. Like a surprise attack! But he’d probably stare at me. I’m definitely going to use his stare as a negotiation tactic.”

Current thoughts: “I pity him.”

Sorry for the long post! Second part coming later today!

A person's favorite color, favorite animal, and favorite flavor of ice cream can say a lot about them when considering the answers as a whole. Some prime examples I've heard are:

~ Silver, Artic Wolf, and Mint Chocolate Chip.

~ Pink/Yellow, Putu Bird, and Cotton Candy.

~ Light Brown, Tree Kangaroo, and Rum Raisin.

~ Green, Pig, and Cookie Dough.

Mine are:

~ Burgundy, Fox, and Moose Tracks.

Tag some friends and get a sense of who they are! :)
