While I'm on the topic of flawed queer ships being unfairly scrutinized, people's understanding of sexual coercion in regards to Stolitz seems to start and end with Blitz being kinda reluctant to Stolas's persistent advances, without citing examples where Stolas actually PRESSURED Blitz into sex.

YES! And:
There is bias to assume the straight ship is fated to be together. Any maliciousness is excused as masking deeper feelings. No growth required; the final scene is always going to be them HEA.
Why do queer ships have to prove their compatibility, and straight ships are accepted by default?

When I saw the prompt for #Urano1K, I instantly thought of a Peter Pan AU where Stolas is a sassy and jealous pocket fairy like Tinker Bell🧚‍♀️😆

Congrats on 1K @roundblueduck.bsky.social!! 🎉 you deserve it and many more!! 💕

a person is pressing a blue button that says be on it . ALT: a person is pressing a blue button that says be on it .

Place your bets on if they start fucking in the alley!

I’m calling it!

People are very weird when it comes to critiquing queer couples compared to the way they talk about straight couples.

Fictional queer couples are held to a much higher standard than straight ships. They think a queer pairing built on a shaky foundation should break up, even when the characters address it like adults, while insinuating that opposite-sex characters with clearly malicious intentions are better fits.

Aww, baby~ I love her~

Aww she's so cute! Did you adopt her recently? :O

But hey, at the end of the day, this is all my subjective opinion. If you liked it, good for you. I just felt neutral about it at best, personally.

Review over!

While the rest of the show could improve on this front, it's very clear that some tweaking could've been done to the pilot in order to find the right balance because newcomers can be lost and confused with it when they're not in the middle of praising the Disney-esque visuals that come with it.

I couldn’t get attached to Rocky, Freckle, and Ivy as characters, because the pilot didn't have any elbow room for me to get to know these characters or give me a reason to get attached to them.

They're one-dimensional at best. Rocky's a chaotic gremlin, Freckle's anxious, and Ivy's just...there.

Lackadaisy's pilot lacks the balance of helping newcomers understand the context and setting while simultaneously winking at longtime fans of the comic.

And I'm not asking for a profile page of each character, or lore pages of the setting, but at least just the basics for one to easily grasp.

Helluva Boss's Mission Zero also worked in the same way, and that was made after the show had TWO seasons, yet it manages to be a perfect balance between introducing newcomers to the show, while also catering to fans who already have knowledge of the setting.

There needs to be a balance of introducing the concept to newcomers, but leaving enough easter eggs for OG fans to spot

Take the first episode of Hazbin for example. Yes, it helps if you saw the pilot, but it also does enough to introduce newcomers into the show and understand what's happening.

It didn't say "Yeah, these lower-class demons just HAPPEN TO HAVE an all powerful spellbook that grants them access to the mortal plane, roll with it!" When you watch the pilot, be it the OG or Mission 0, you're able to understand the setting, context and get to know the characters.

Compared to Helluva’s characters and setting, yes I’m going there, they had memorable moments that made me stick with them, even when it was just the pilot at the time. Even the pilot gave us context on HOW a gaggle of imps and a hellhound have an all powerful spell book, and what their business is.

There wasn't really any moment of these three in the pilot that stuck with me, that I find myself looking back on and remembering their schticks. Only exception is Rocky but he's a bit of a low bar, considering that most of the time he's just chaotic and/or laughing unhinged.

Now, lemme briefly talk about the characters, specifically our trio of protagonists.

There's Rocky, the chaotic gremlin, Freckle, the skittish, anxious one, and Ivy, the lead girl...I think. Either way, that's....really all there is to them.

Yes, there was that lore drop in the beginning, but that only gives us a historical context of the setting itself. Not how our protags ended up in said situation specifically.
We're just expected to know why they're there and roll with it. What is a helpless audience member to do with this?

As someone who hasn't read it, I had no idea who these characters were, what the stakes were, why they were in some graveyard stealing booze from someone's grave, or even how they ended up in this situation of smuggling alcohol illegally to begin with.

The pilot also felt less like an introduction to its series and more like a standalone short based on the webcomic of the same name.

It throws you in, expecting you to know who these characters are. Which is all well and good…if you’ve read the webcomic.

The pilot, while having decent pacing, failed to make the characters, story, and setting stick with me.

It's like Studio Ghibli put all its time and effort into the visuals, in exchange for the story and characters. LD feels sanitized, holding back its full potential of what it could be.
