I got Refunded from the Lackadaisy BackerKit. I did it because I don't want to use the Emegancy Credit Card to spend on Stuff that I don't need and I don't have a Job yet. I am Autistic. Thanks for Understanding. Formerly Backer 1,512

It's LackaCrazy!! (The Lackadaisy Phenomenon Of 2 Million Dollars)

Last night, the Lackadaisy Backerkit for funding for Season 1 hit it's final goal of 2 MILLION DOLLARS, and ended up even surpassing it! With the help of 16,000+ backers, and everyone's support, we've done it. Thank you so much to everyone who backed it, and to everyone who gave the project their support.

Lackadaisy gives me faith in humanity, honestly. To see a heartfelt project get this much support that allows for it to be the best it can be makes me so happy. To see people worldwide get together to see something as silly as "Prohibition Era Gangsters But They're Cats" makes me smile so much.

Lackadaisy is a series that has made so many people happy, and it's been here since 2006. Long time fans that are not adults have seen the progress of the series as the years have gone by. Newer fans who joined because of the pilot tagging along for the ride. Friends and family of fans who have heard about it because of them. Everyone who has heard about and/or been a part of the Lackadaisy journey in some way, all of us make up a community of people coming together for something immaculate.

I hold Lackadaisy quite close to my heart. It's brought me great joy! I've met so many friends through Lackadaisy (I'm looking at yall- Star, Ari, Oddie, Roo, Sam, other Star, Wilma, everyone else there is so many of yall <3), and I've strengthened bonds with my current friends by telling them about Lackadaisy (Looking at yall- Remy, Leah, even some of my teacherz aha-)! It's a warm thing that brings people together, that's what Lackadaisy is.

There's so much passion that comes from Lackadaisy. Passion from Tracy, Fable, Newt, the whole team in their work. Passion from the fans with our fanart, fanfics, fan-ocs, words, and works of art in general. I've seen things and sides of humanity in Lackadaisy that I have never seen with many other things.

I am so proud to be a part of the Lackadaisy Fandom/Community/Family. It's a lifetime experience that has allowed me to have hope and see things that I never would have seen if I was not a part of this. There are a lot of little things that make Lackadaisy feel heartfelt. From the LackaLivestreams Tracy and the cast do, to how the Lackadaisy team keep up with the tag on multiple platforms, all these little efforts made make this fandom feel so seen.

The Lackadaisy Phenomenon of how 16,000+ people worldwide got together and raised 2 Million dollars for silly boozecat show is history, and we made it! This right here is the future of Indie Animation.

While Lackadaisy is definitely one of the silliest fandoms ever, I love it so much for that. We love to have fun here, and go LackaCrazy!!!!!!!

I love Lackadaisy so much, I love you all so much, I love Mordecai Heller so much!!!!! <33

A reminder of how much we achieved:

We reached the original goal of 125K in less than an hour!

In the first day, we reached half a million/500K!!

In five days, we reached 900K!!!

In eight days, we reached 1 MILLION!!!!

A few days after that (I stopped counting smh) we reached 1.5 MILLION!!!!!

In the last few hours of the Backerkit, we reached the final goal of 2 MILLION!!!!!!

{{Part one of my speech for when we hit 1 Million can be found here!!}}

So as a fan of indie animation, I've been so happy to watch the Lackadaisy backer kit raise a little over 2 MILLION DOLLARS to fund more work. That's awesome and I really enjoyed the pilot (and the comic) so I think they'll do good work

HOWEVER I noticed some weird drama getting stirred up on Twitter that seems to have gotten a bit tangled and frankly is really disappointing

So one of the Lackadaisy crew members I guess had been under a microscope for liking TERF-y rhetoric on Twitter and that was a whole thing. One of the leaders of the project is trans and they said they really think it was a misunderstanding/whatever. Of course people are still upset about it but I'm not sure how much the original person addressed it. I think that crew member was just retweeting a bunch of people that were defending her as not transphobic, not sure if she said anything particular in her defense

BUT THEN that same crew member also was weirdly catty towards Vivzie because when she tweeted about the Spindlehorse crew pooling towards a 5k backer tier for Lackadaisy, I guess Viv didn't include a direct link (although it was very clear what project it was).

Also I don't know how real these discord screenshots are but apparently that same Lackadaisy crew member was convinced Viv was only supporting the project to "get her claws in the credits."

AND THEN for whatever reason the Lackadaisy project rejected Viv/Spindlehorse's funding which Viv seemed confused about. One of the leaders of the Lackadaisy project gave this vague reason that Spindlehorse has done enough for indie animation but it's all really weird and feels rather unprofessional

I would hope they're not so blind to their friendship with their troublesome crew member that they'll stir up this weird unnecessary drama with Spindlehorse. Some Spindlehorse crew members said they felt really hurt by this behavior. It's not like Lackadaisy and Spindlehorse are fighting over a single spot on a network or something. . . they aren't rivals?? Idk

Like it's just so weird to me that yes, jesus, Viv is not perfect but so many people just seem to have it OUT for her I'm just genuinely confused

I'm going to go ahead and tag @topazdragoon since they were sending some asks about this as well but I was waiting to see if the situation would iron itself out.

The situation did not iron itself out.

But I'm just going to summarize my thoughts and observations on this whole situation with the following sentiment:

People who have the socioeconomic maturity of 13 year-olds should not be allowed to work in professional settings.

Because there should never have been this immature 'rivalry' between Hellaverse and Lackadaisy. The people working on the latter should have realize that 'hey, IanJQ was put under a microscope and nearly got cancelled for having a loli pic in his Twitter likes and he was a mainstream showrunner. How the fuck do you think people aren't going to look at your shite?'

When you apply for a job, especially in the creative sector, your sole responsibility from that point onward is presenting the project you're on in the best, SHINIEST fucking light like your breath depends on it.

'Starting incessant beef with creators I don't like' should be nowhere near that job-description.

And the fact that the latter team has had nothing but documented instances of someone on staff trying to start drama, someone on staff trying to start drama, someone on staff trying to start drama just shows that, despite dropping a technically sound pilot, I don't trust you guys with shit!

And the biggest signifier of this was the botching of Spindlehorse's donation to the Lackadaisy Kickstarter. 'Oh, I spoke to Viv about why we returned the donation in private', 'Oh, the BackerKit had a bad glitch', 'Oh, Viv only donated so she could have producer credit in another show!', 'Oh, we don't want the negative press from Hellaverse lingering around our show'.

Stop. Acting. Like. The Independent Animation Sector. Is Your Chance. To Relive. Your Middle School Drama Days.

If the situation was handled amicably in private, Viv wouldn't have posted the update about the donation being returned (even if the post she made was amicable). If the BackerKit had a bad glitch, you needed to fix it and remedy any understandings before it all burst into the spotlight. The donation was under Spindlehorse. Not just Viv, but multiple people from that team wanted to support another Indie project.

And, well, congratulations! Now you don't just have negative sentiments from the Hellaverse side of things, now you have to deal with the fact that, despite the Kickstarter being successful, when some people think of your bootlegger cat show, all they're going to think about are TERF-y middle schoolers.

I noticed this comment on the recent Lackadaisy backerkit update and, assuming it's related to the whole donation drama,

I get that it’s the backer’s choice but gosh that whole drama really wouldn't have been a whole thing if Viv was mature enough to keep it private. But NOOO she just had to take it to the public and call upon her fans to shun them 

Obviously this isn’t enough to deter Lackadaisy’s amazing backerkit success but WOW, if this becomes like a recurring thing…. I am worried if something like this continues to happen to other indie projects with a less prominent fan backing. I really don’t want to see a future pattern of behavior where Viv can send out her horde of fans to side with her and shit on other projects for whatever reason (especially for Far-Fetched since Viv has the most beef with that)

It's infuriating and frustrating and I wish I had an answer. I'm worried about Far-Fetched too.

"public events that were withheld until after the campaign closed"

Bitch, nobody withheld anything from you. You could have cancelled your pledge at any time during the campaign and didn't. No one owes you a thing, and if you asked your precious Vivzie for a refund after Backerkit had already taken out the transaction fees, she would laugh in your face.

Me watching the Lackadaisy pilot before I read the comics: Huh, I wonder why Mordecai hesitated to shoot Ivy?

Me watching the Lackadaisy pilot AFTER I read the comics: HE KNEW THAT IF HE SHOT HER, VIKTOR WOULD KILL HIS ASS. THE NEXT TIME VIKTOR SEES HIM (if he shot Ivy) ITS ON SIGHT! MORDECAI HELLER WOULD BE NO MORE!

Also if you’re seeing this, if you have money and love Lackadaisy, GO DONATE TO THE LACKADAISY BACKER IT!

It’s currently sitting at $1,293,572 dollars and has 11 days left!

Go support it if you can! Watch the pilot on YouTube and read the comics on the official site! (Or on Webtoons)

Decided to turn my late kitty into a Lackadaisy character for fun.

Madam Stella, the fly on the wall. She always has one ear turned for new gossip, but her information isn't free. She knows something about everyone. But frivolous gossip is merely a hobby. Nobody actually knows what she does for a living, especially considering she's single and filthy rich. Hmmm. 🤔

Please keep in mind, I've only watched the pilot animation and the teaser for season 1, so please don't spoil me on anything. I'm waiting on the hardback volumes from the backer rewards to read it! But just based on what little I know of this series, I ADORE it!!

Guess who just added $20 to their $300 lackadaisy backer just to get a keychain of zib in a bottle to celebrate pledging money for lackadaisy season 1.
