- In this episode, there's a whole lot of things that I either didn't remember, or were added in at some point. I'll side with "bad memory" on it.

I'm going to be honest here I have Cajun roots in my blood line but I didn't know how to properly describe a Cajun creole accent property so I just asked one of the chat ai bots I have handy.
I did know the majority of this information I just didn't know how to word it correctly.
A Cajun creole accent is characterized by its French-influenced intonations, distinctive vocabulary, and unique pronunciation. Cajun creole accents emerged from the fusion of French, Spanish, and African influences in Louisiana, particularly in the rural areas around New Orleans.
One aspect of the Cajun creole accent is the use of diphthongs, which are two vowel sounds blended together in a single syllable. For example, the word "fire" might be pronounced as "fah-yuh." There is also a tendency to lengthen and emphasize certain syllables, creating a sing-song quality to the speech.
The vocabulary of the Cajun creole accent is also unique. Words like "ya" (you), "dese" (these), and "cher" (dear) are commonly used. Additionally, the accent tends to use French-derived words in place of English words, such as "lagniappe" instead of "bonus" or "déjà vu" instead of "already seen."
Finally, the accent has its own unique pronunciation of certain sounds. For example, the "th" sound may be replaced with a "t" sound, as in "dat" instead of "that". The "r" sound is also pronounced differently, with a harder, more guttural sound than in standard English.
Overall, the Cajun creole accent is a unique and fascinating aspect of the rich cultural heritage of Louisiana.
"Alligator Man" was Atlas May. We were basically flashing back to when Mordecai met Atlas, and how Mordecai came to be indebted to him (there was a gun in Atlas's newspaper that he left behind to facilitate Mordecai's escape). Given the implication that Atlas was Mordecai's guardian spirit made flesh, it's no surprise the hitman has become adrift since his death.
That makes sense, but now what's the deal with the forced voodoo skeletal alligator spirit? If they ripped Atlas out of the afterlife, that's messed up
That's possible, although I think the implication is more that Atlas was one of the loa Maitre Carrefour's (possibly unwitting) agents, or perhaps his avatar, rather than the loa (basically a god) himself. Serafine just granted Mordecai the protection of a guardian spirit aspect of the loa. Of course, that's assuming there's any truth to Serafine's ol' time religion, and we aren't just seeing her projected beliefs.
If you were curious, by the way, Carrefour (also known as Kalfu and Kaifou) is the spirit of the crossroads, although he is also often associated with the moon and night. While often viewed as analogous to Satan, he's not necessarily evil so much as dangerous. As the master of what can cross the crossroads, he can control a person's access to the other loa, and also allow misfortune and destruction to travel to a person. As such, he can be invoked either to ask for a reprieve from misfortune, or to ask that misfortune befall those deserving it. The latter is part of why he's commonly associated with sorcery. While not evil himself, he is a master of evil spirits, and thus he's often associated with societal outcasts and criminals, and also with being a both highly demanding and highly effective patron. If he's real, it might explain how Mordecai was able to so easily transition from accounting to murder. (Thanks Wikipedia and supernaturalcreatures.org!)
That sounds like somebody may have inflicted him on Rocky's life at some point. He seems like he was, at some point, a good kid who liked breakfast too much, but had bad things happen to his family that his aunt took out on him (if I'm understanding that right from this episode)
It's left a bit vague, probably intentionally (my takeaway was that Calvin did something that he took responsibility for, but your interpretation also makes sense), but, if we're being honest, Rocky doesn't really need supernatural help to forge his own bad luck, at least not by this point.
It would really only take the one supernatural push for him to just have a downward spiral. But if it was something Calvin did (and it sounds like it happened to Rocky's parents, not Calvin's), why would he have taken the fall for it? It sounds like he was a teenager at the time at best. Hmm... mysterious!
I grew up with Sly Cooper. It's one of my favorite series. And the alligator woman from the first game is very Creole.
Great voicing, but you mentioning Mordekai a lady Rofl😂😂😂
I know she’s 18 but Ivy loves 3 times younger in one of panels at the begging of the video.
Looks.
This isn't 100% related to the story and I know there's a lot of fiction in Lackadaisy but Al Capone is my like 4th-5 cousin.
Again I'm aware that this is a random fact but having family who participated in bootlegging booze during that period is something you don't keep to yourself.
He probably wouldn't help Atlas or his wife though he'll see them as competition.
He wasn't the type of guy to share his profits or the people he got his booze from.
