That letter sent by sister Agatha is so kind, and so soft.

I love how it repeats that Jonathan has been getting well despite his brain fever, and how he has retained that sweet, and gentle demeanor that saved him in Transylvania.

Despite being bedbound, forgetful, and talking about demons and poison Jonathan never forgot that other people are the reason for him being alive and human today.

Just like the villagers of Transylvania, sister Agatha and the nuns of Budapest were moved by Jonathan's kindness. Once again we humans survive through hell and back because of the kindness of other people.

And so, she wishes that the amazing young woman she hasn't met in person, but has heard about for a long time has a happy marriage with her english boy.

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

You know why these boys brought you in? 'Cause I f*cked up a poor, defenseless gang-affiliated organ dealership? Yep. Mm.

i still don't like kipperlilly HOWEVER it would be VERY interesting if the twist is that she's been playing the long game against porter to get revenge for lucy's death

devil's nectar is used to lie to gods. porter wants to be a god.

gertie mentions in ep14 that the last order of nectar was twice as much as usual.

we know from ruben's dream that the rat grinders have been taking devil's honey for some reason

lucy was killed by multiple assailants but it's never confirmed it was the rat grinders—ruben's house has a perfect view of the lake, so the rat grinders could easily have witnessed lucy's murder

jace and porter seem to want the whole school at graduation for some reason, but kipperlily drafted an order to disband aguefort the moment she becomes president. undermining the plan?

kipperlilly was "very fond" of lucy

kipperlilly keeps provoking the bad kids despite jace saying not to—maybe intentionally trying to get the bad kids on their trail?

if nothing else, that's proof being rage-starred doesn't mean she's a mindless follower who agrees w everything porter/jace say

which means her rage could have easily turned on porter

kipperlilly is a mastermind rogue

forever thinking about johanna shooting fogg and what it says for both her and anthony as characters

because the whole show, from the very first scene, we've been set up to see anthony and sweeney as parallels of one another; anthony is sweeney back when he was benjamin, he's full of hope, he's in love (with a woman who looks almost identical to lucy), and then he gets that love brutally ripped away by judge turpin

in 'no place like london' sweeney says: "you are young, life has been kind to you-- you will learn" and by the point in the show where anthony is going to rescue johanna we're almost inclined to agree with him

except anthony cannot shoot the gun, he's not like sweeney in that he cannot kill another person even if it was to save someone he loved. anthony is never going to become sweeney todd.

and then we realize that we've been looking at the wrong person the whole show, and it's so obvious it's laughable: johanna shoots the gun.

johanna who has been raised to be silent and obedient and perfect, johanna who, without knowing the half of it, has had everything taken away from her by judge turpin, her mother, her father, and her freedom. johanna who we've been led to believe is the lucy to anthony's sweeney.

she is fully justified in shooting fogg, no one could fault her for it, but she doesn't even hesitate.

in that moment she is her father's daughter.

that isn't to say that I think johanna is going to go on a killing spree after the musical, obviously, but it's such a fascinating scene in terms of their development: because despite it all anthony is still the same, and because of it all johanna is not

anthony is the last bit of hope left in the story, and johanna is the last bit of sweeney

Also, Fabian summoning all the Aguefort rats and shouting "For Lucy!" was so fucking sweet of him.

oh that's just cutest thing i've ever seen 🫠 (creds: Barcafemenifoto)

Something compelling to me abt kipperlily who like. Against all airs and appearances. Does care abt her friends. So much, actually. But what she cares about and how she cares is so. Different. She wants them safe and close and protected and Lucy threatened that and she didn’t mean- they didn’t mean to- it got away from them. And now it can’t be undone (Lucy was their healer) but kipperlily can fix it. She can clean it up and protect the others. She finds a new, pliable kind of cleric and finds the spaces between the unbending rules so she can slot him into the space they have in their group and she mints a new name and a new face and goes big and brassy and runs for student body president and. Yeah. Maybe ivy doesn’t really talk to her anymore and maybe Mary Ann is even more inside her shell than she was at the beginning of freshman year and Oisin does that thing where he takes off his glasses and stares into the middle distance for an hour at a time but- but it’s nothing kipperlily can’t handle. She can fix it. She can make sure no one knows what happened and she can make sure Lucy stays forgotten and missing and uncertain and she can keep their group on the rails professionally and academically and even though they all still have to go back to those woods. And kill those rats. And remember the tree Lucy is hidden under- it’s fine. She’s fine. Kipperlily has got it under control.

Maybe the Rat Grinders killed Lucy, but maybe it also wasn't their fault.

They said that Lucy was beaten to death by multiple assailants and beating is the most common way people attack when enraged. We know that we're contending with a god of rage who's name was written on Lucy's ribs.

We also know that this rage god has the power to send people into violent rages they have no control over, where they may attack those they love.

What if one day in the woods all the rat grinders except Lucy were spun into an uncontrollable rage that caused them to attack their friend.

What if at the end when they came out of it and saw their friend beaten and bloodied they were horrified, but also so very scared. They're just kids, what could be more terrifying than having to confess to a murder you didn't have any control over committing?

So they hide the body and agree to keep it quiet, letting Lucy just disappear.

SHEEN ROAD INCIDENT Lockwood and Co Appreciation Week 2024 - Day 2, Favourite Underrated Moment

Lucy rizzing up the ref will always be my favourite thing

the ballad of songbirds & snakes | chapter 21 / chapter 30

Ok but Lucy and Norman are THEEE characters ever like oh my god. Teeny little dark haired bitches running around and uncovering corruption that’s been hidden for over 200 years in TWO FUCKING WEEKS. Name a better duo, I fucking dare you.

For every bit of Lucy’s naïveté and innocence (at least at the beginning), Norm is cunning and sly. For every bit of her brother’s wit and intelligence, Lucy is incredibly dangerous and fully capable of violence. They are two halves of the most dangerous weapon in the fucking wasteland. And they BOTH inherited their mother’s incredible mind!

Imagine what they could do it they were working together? They did all that shit separately and they still managed to figure it all out. They couldn’t even communicate with each other!! Put them together and they’ll’ve taken over the whole wasteland and set up a new fucking city in like a week.
