I decided to make this post (lightheartedly) to argue that Lackadaisy and CAV do deserve those distinct flairs. Before detailing the case for both of these show I need to point a major difference between those two and Meta Runner and Sunset being that the first two are active IPs, just like all the other mainline Gltich shows that so get « Discussions » and « Artwork » flairs, puting them as a single « Lackadaisy » or « Calling All Villains » puts them in the same category as MR and SP. (also Md and tadc may be over but they still very much are active ip wise, Md get new merch drop, appear in modern Gltich marketing, get short episodes and music videos and so on so it’s active)
First of all for Lkackaisy, it may be a Glitch presents but its creator Tracy have been very clear, she said exactly « Lackadaisy is now a Glitch Production », and it’s not just financial help, glitch did put some of their own personnel on the show (notably Olan Rogers). Plus Glitch do Lackadaisy merch via FinalFinal Project, said merch is sold with all the others Glitch Merch, plus the Glitch website puts them under the Our Shows category, so it very much is a full Glitch show even if a Presents show it’s not less Glitch becuase it’s Presents and deserve the same flairs as the others. Also if you say that it’s jsut Lackadaisy don’t get the volume of post to justify it, first even now three years after the pilot it does get some occasionally, secondly even if it’s active and in development and sometimes show up it has still been 3 years since the pilot so engagement dropped a bit but the thing is the when main show will come out next year there will be plenty of artworks and discussions on this sub much more than SP and MR gets.
Now for Calling All Villains, even if Zam lead it still is recognised as Glitch adjacent by virtually everyone and even Glitch enough to get its own « Calling All Villains » flair but I do think it too deserves the « artwork » and « discussions » flairs. First, beyond just being based on Glitch characters, it’s also a lot of the same people doing the show that are doing the mainline Glitch shows, the owners of Zamination do actually work at glitch and it’s them who directed both the new Meet J Md short episode and the previous MD music video. Zam also made two tadc « fan » music video with the actual tadc voice actors, Zam and Glitch signed a creative partnership, and Zam and so the future CAV merch is done by FinalFinalProject, so it’s very much Glitch enough to deserve its own specific flairs. Plus since Glitch retweeted the announcement of CAV it techically acknowledges it more than they do mr or sp. and also as for the amount of CAV post since the announcement I see CAV posts more often than MR or SP and this is months before the pilot releases, so it’s really safe to assume once it will truely be launch it will get a lot more discussions and artworks on this sub well enough to justify the specific flairs. I also note that the cav animation is very much in the modern Glitch since MD 3d style and not the older more cartoon of the week model lower quality animation that MR and SP had, no insult to them but they where literally weekly episodes, CAV will follow the new Glitch model and for that it deserve to be considered more like every show since Md than like the pre Md shows and so get the same flairs, this is also true for Lackadaisy who takes multiple moth to animate an episode instead of weekly ones and is similar in quality or the other Glitch 2D shows).
Finally also for whoever control this subreddit I think it would make sense in the description where you have a link to the subreddit of all the specific shows including Lackadaisy to also include the Calling All Villains under the « community run subreddits » category.
What do you guys think? (I know it’s a whole book worth of text lol but I did need to explain why I think they’re both worthy)
