Rereading the Lockwood and Co. books and one of the things I love about them is how the world always feels lived in. Stroud doesn't write side characters and background characters as static, they react and adapt and change, even the ones we never even talk to. For instance, Bunchurch has an entire arc and we experience it exclusively through Lockwood's snippy asides about them, it's so cool. This is definitely something I want to try and do more in my own writing.

Bringing back my unpopular opinion but please stop saying they’d kiss here.

They wouldn’t. He’s having a PANIC ATTACK.

the end 😁

fanon Lockwood: I see death... everywhere. The death glows. They burn my eyes .... the pain

canon Lockwood: lmao dead mouse

i . im so soooooooooooooooo normal about lockwood and co. Do not Speak to me. I HATE NETFLIX. . OK. normal.

Fun fact i have redrawn this FOUR TIMES since 2022. TWO YEARS!!!! AND I COULD NOT FINISH IT TIL NOW!

marauders fans i love you but "i wish i lived in the seventies ugh!" yeah no thanks, i like having rights

“It’s UnReAliSTiC for Walburga to use the Crutiatus Curse as punishment.”

Oh, really? My melodramatic fanFICTION of dead gay WIZARDS isn’t realistic enough for you? Hmm, funny that.

James: So where are you from? Heaven?

Lily: That’s right I’m a ghost. I died fifteen years ago, kinda like that pick-up line.

if gay and happy are synonyms, why won't the marauders fandom let them experience joy??

This has probably been said but, KUDOS TO JONATHAN STROUD FOR GETTING INTO THE MIND OF A TEENAGE GIRL LIKE THAT!!

Like when I picked up the book, I never imagined I'd root for her.

There was nothing idealistic about her, just relatable. Her sense of displacement when Holly joined the group, her guilt about Lockwood. It wasn't that just because there is a somewhat traumatised girl as mc, those things were bound to be. No. It was all so well explained.

His writing style is impeccable. The humour blends seamlessly with the seriousness of their situation, the chill of ghost hunting. The way things were described made them tangible. The metaphors were on point. I have never been to London, yet I feel as if I know it, just a little bit 🤏

I loved all of Lockwood's dialogue, his personality (the airiness, his role as a leader and friend), his fierce loyalty to his cause (the scene at the grave? I was close to tears there)

And I kinda liked the fact that Lockwood and Lucy didn't kiss. It adds something to their relationship for me.

the iron trio ♡

Sure, George is the third wheel.

If by third wheel you mean the front wheel of a tricycle friendship, which falls apart immediately if you remove even one of said wheels, and the little toddler riding it ends up with a face-full of pavement and disappointment. The whole of 35 Portland Row would probably be reduced to ashes without him, at this point.

Hey Netflix! Annabel's ghost is mad at you because you canceled her series. Maybe she will haunt you, be careful (or no 😁)

My favorite genre of fiction is “the vibes here are somehow horrifying and warm and cozy at the same time”. Like, yeah we’re gonna fight the cosmic horror but in matching sweaters one of our teammates made type of vibe.

lockwood & co. sketchy

it's them
