Happy birthday to @my-nostalgia-is-horror oc ITZY!! ✨✨✨🕷️🕸️🦇🦇❤️❤️

We love tall goth woman in this household peoples 😤😤

I drew Itzy in a more modern AU style :>

Is Maríanne picky when it comes to what she drinks or would she down rubbing alcohol if given the chance?

Thank you for the ask Eddit!! :>>❤️❤️

It definitely depends on her mood.

Maríanne for the most part is a social drinker, she likes to treat herself with cocktails mixed with gin or rum and with a citrus flavoring in the mix. Sometimes she prefers to drink whiskey with ice, if she feels particularly fancy.

However there are very few moments where she drinks when her stress levels are at the maximum (or when she gets challenged). Sometimes she’d drink rum or champagne straight from the bottle, but she would drink rubbing alcohol if she’s that desperate she would drink it again.

Either way, Maríanne is not a responsible drinker. No one taught her how.😭😭

So she ends up like this for the most part…

Drink responsibly kids.

(This is why Mordecai thinks Zib and his band is a bad influence on her)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARÍANNE! 🐍

(I’m not late what are you talking about? 🤡)

Decided to sketch something in regards to Marí and her friendship with Zib.

While it was a pretty late 20th birthday, the band still did some drinking in celebration (after a quick game of poker). In their spur of drinking, she challenged Zib to a drinking race, (yeah Marí try competing with the alcoholic, very smart). The band members placed their bets and uhhh, yeah, she isn’t winning this one.😭

But Happy Birthday to my baby Marí :>❤️

Happy Late Valentine’s Day Everyone!! ❤️❤️🥰🥰

I’m totally not two days late, what are you talking about??🥰🥰🥰

Also I did a drawing of Maríanne and Rocky as statues based on the one of Eros and Psyche (I love their story)

Thank you @missedditart for the apple tree blossoms idea :> it’s a very beautiful touch, I also added Rocky’s blue daises

Love and Loyalty 🔥🔥

Hope you all had a lovely Valentine’s Day! And for those who are single like me then I feel you! 🥲

Nonetheless, just remember, that you are all deserving of love ❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️❤️

Here’s the inspo plus a close up of the drawing:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @acesandocs !!🎉🎉🎉❤️

HELLO CALAMAMA @immaculatemadonna23 and @notmariolevi

HERES THE FIRST THREE REQUESTS!! Thank you for the requests! ❤️❤️ ILL BE DRAWING THE OTHERS SOON!

Decided to draw some sketches of Maríanne fighting or being feral, or just annoyed hehe :>

^Mordecai is scolding her when she refuses to hold a gun correctly or refuses to use it at all.

Hi ✨🩷🩵 This is a random question that came to me-

If Marianne were a person from our time, what would she be like? Would she have a certain taste or be part of a trend/subculture? Would something in her personality also change or would it remain more or less similar? ^^ Greetings and blessings 🩷✨🩵

HELLO!! ✨❤️ Thank you for the question Madonna! ❤️

In our modern times, her family is alive and well. So she is a rich girly now and lives a much more posh life than her 1920s self.

She isn’t very grateful for her rich life and feels the need to rebel and be with the regular everyday people. Modern Maríanne is a skater girly and when she’s out and about she dresses in a much more grunge/skater clothing. She still loves to box, of course but doesn’t do it as frequently as 1920s Maríanne.

She rarely disguises herself in public so when news outlets take pictures of her, it doesn’t phase her even when her family berates her for acting so crass. Maríanne always finds someway to get back out there. Always involving herself in a bit of crypto scams which puts her on many people’s hit list but she has protection, so she’s fine??

Her personality doesn’t change too much, she’s just a bit more snobby and quite the airhead. Despite being an airhead, she knows what’s she’s doing. She just doesn’t think about the consequences as much as og Maríanne.

Her features are also slightly different though, she’s a lot more leaner and her curls are better taken care of than Lackadaisy Marí.

Sorry it took a while to answer the question but I hope I gave a good answer! :> Thank you again so much for the question Madonna! Really appreciate it ❤️

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.”

THE RATTLESNAKE AND THE JESTER CH 1 PG 7-8🐍🍎🎭🎪

Page 5-6 - Page 9-10 (WIP)

HAPPY BELATED HOLIDAYS!/MERRY LATE CHRISTMAS! 🎄 🎉🎉🎊🎁🎁

I made a mini Christmas comic based on Tracy’s Christmas ‘Tannebum’ comic and the aftermath of said comic.

(The walking angel topper and the bruised jester went on a little Christmas dinner afterwards.)

This was supposed to be posted on Christmas 😭 so it a bit rushed. Also hi, it’s been awhile 😭but I wanted to make a small comic with Maríanne and the Lackadaisy gang.

The hands you see in the two frames though are some friends of hers that I have yet to introduced (except for Delilah ofc)

What a coincidence @yanci-indigo it appears that I am YOUR secret santa 🤭

I try to lean to a very portrait/painting style!

I drew the lovely Amber with her gang! Well at least the bug versions of them, see if you can find them all and identify who is who 😏

I know you don’t celebrate Christmas but this was a very fun thing to make for you as a gift!! :D

So Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Happy Day!! ❤️

Inspired by @realbouru and @acesandocs

Maríanne’s Character Inspo!!🐍

I decided to do a chart of characters that inspired her character or represent her in some way while I was thinking about her personality :D

Characters✨:

Primary (top to bottom):

Odysseus - Epic The Musical (Art by @wolfythewitch)

Dean Winchester - Supernatural

Phoebe Buffay - Friends

Secondary (top to bottom):

Katara - Avatar: The Last Airbender

Ryan Bergara - Watcher (Ghost Files pic)

La Muerte - The Book of Life

I’m sorry I haven’t been posting Maríanne a lot, life and school has really been keeping me busy but I’m still gonna try when I can!! :>

What would Marianne do for 10 dollars?

Yay!! Thank you for the ask!!

In the 1920s $10 is about $150 according to Google, so she would jump off the Mississippi Bridge into to the river.

In today’s times, if you make a weird drink mix she’d drink it for $10.

But if the mix is downright horrendous, she’ll put you in a headlock or one of those twisty wrestler moves until you cough up an extra $5, $10, or $20 (or all three). 😭😭

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

IM LATE IM LATE FOR A VERY IMPORTANT DATE! (I seriously am, I’m so sorry 😭)

This goes to the amazing @acesandocs FOR ÅSE’S BIRTHDAYYYY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ÅSE!! ❤️❤️❤️

EDDIT YOUR CHARACTER IS AMAZING AND I FREQUENTLY LOVE TO CONSUME ALL OF ÅSE LORE AND ART!! 🔥🔥❤️❤️

As per usual, Marí is taking a friend out for drinks! It is now, Åse’s turn >:D!! (Totally not stolen drinks, totally didn’t raid a club :))) )

I haven’t posted in a while about Maríanne 😭 but I did this little mini comic based on my mini series called “The Rattlesnake and the Jester” (I will try my best to get the next pages out 😭)

Rocky and Maríanne being traveling buddies and he is not letting her sleep 🤧

In the first year of being traveling pals, Marí trust issues were H I G H 😭

AHHHHH did an outfit swap with the amazing @acesandocs

But with a slight cultural twist! These dresses and our OCs ARE SO DAMN PRETTY, (although the flowers and lace were a pain to draw)

It was really great to be a part of this collaboration Eddit!! Thank you for allowing me to do this with you! I always love a new challenge that will test my skills!! ❤️❤️

I STILL CAN’T GET OVER HOW PRETTY ÅSE LOOKS IN MARÍ’S DRESS 🥹🥹❤️

While I’m still working on the next page and some potential doodles :>

Here is a post of some references for Maríanne’s outfits because I didnt want to to obstruct the comic pages 😭:

1. Maríanne’s day dress, I changed the color because personally, blue didn’t suit her

2. I literally looked up 1920s farmers dress, the blue dress is more or less her uniform.

3. This is the brown cardigan she wears on her life on the road

4. I couldn’t find the exact dress but this is the one that I found closest to the one I drew for baby Marí (I forgot to save the image ;-;)

5. I believe this is the reference I used (I forgot to save this one too…) and the og color was green but since I wanted her “darker moments” to appear more monochromatic it didn’t show up :>

Thank you to all who interacted with the recent pages of “The Rattlesnake and the Jester” your comments are so sweet 🥹❤️

In the meantime, while I work on the next page, here are some doodles I made a while back of Rocky and Maríanne

(Forgot to add this on the recent pages but Rocky Rickaby belongs to Tracy Butler of the Lackadaisy series)

I would like to know the most obscure and random Maríanne fun fact you can tell us, please!

Ooo, I shall give two! However, I’m not sure how obscure these facts are 🤷‍♀️

First fact:

I created Maríanne’s character while reading ‘Under the Devil’s Moon’ from @libras-interactives :> Her original name was Mariànne Paola, she played the trumpet, and was born in Cancun!

Second fact:

When developing her further, I wanted her attributes to be similar to a rattlesnake. Shows her connections back to her brother and his gang. Especially when it finds its way back to her.

I think these two images compared to one another prove my point:

Adding further on to this connection she carries around a rattlesnake tooth, which was given to her by her brother. Her brother attained it after a rattlesnake attacked a bully that was beating him up. Both Marí and her brother see it as a symbol of luck and protection.

Although the glasses was more of a fun idea to insert something of myself onto my character, it added more to these parallels since snakes are known to have poor eyesight lmao 😭

Despite her shitty eyesight, Maríanne is always wary of her surroundings when she feels threatened or tense, or any feeling of discomfort. She’ll literally sit in awkward position where you see half of her body and face.

Her logic: How can someone ambush you when you already have them in your sights? 😎

…😭 Okay Marí

Maríanne also has a “minor pet peeve” with birds (it’s not a phobia, she swears 😀)

I went on a bit of a tangent but thanks for the ask Calamity!! I always appreciate when people ask about Maríanne ❤️🥹

I’m going on a trip so there’s gonna be a bit further delay with the next pages of ‘the Rattlesnake and the Jester’ comic, hopefully I’ll have it done around early June or so 🥲

I’m the meantime, I decided to introduce you guys to a new LackaOC :> it’s a friend of Maríanne and her brother since the start of the Rattlers!

Meet Delilah Everlorn

Little facts:

- She’s from the UK ✨

- She taught Maríanne how to box (her father taught her, but she claims she’s self-taught)

- Cuts her own hair

- Born on October 29th, 1897

- Her design is based on a Scottish Fold

Hope you like her :>>

I want to give Ace a hug after reading this! Poor Ace🤧

Art-wise: holy shit what you drew is amazing, the fear in his eyes and how she is just trying to reach for the knife, is such a very well drawn dramatic scene omg! Like I feel tense from looking at it!

You did awesome 🔥

Despite zzanimazz being deactivated i will still answer the questions they sent me. I hope they can see this wherever they are🫡

CW: physical and emotional abuse mention below

Desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?

Ace isn't really ware of what he wants, he doesn't really think about it long enough to come to a clear conclusion. In reality he just wants to be accepted and understood by someone, anyone really. But he doesn't think thats ever going to happen. She has a bit of a defeatist streak going on that she pushes down by living his life without regrets or shame. Part of that is also subconsciously acting weird and pushing people away. Because the pain of being rejected by someone he actually cared about hurts more than just telling himself that hes never going to have the kind of conection he craves. Most of the way she deals is either by denying or not thinking about it.

Mistake: What's the worst mistake your OC ever made? What led to them making it? Have they been able to fix it? How have they moved on?

Ace has made a few major mistakes though she is a bit to stubborn to openly recognize them as mistakes. One is running away from home. He subconsciously regrets it but if he admitted that, to himself it would be like admitting defeat. One she can however clearly see was a mistake was starting to work under her first boss. He was emotionally and sometime physically abusive. And was taking advantage of the fact that she had no life experience and that she was homeless. As to how she fixed it…

CW: visual depictions of choking and implications of murder via stabbing under the cut

Trying out something a bit different with this one. More dramatic lighting and pose. If anyone has any suggestion on improvement feel free to share! The line art is intentionally very sketchy and unfinished to add to the disorientation of the moment. Also avoided adding her eyebrows for similar reasons.

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 😭
