No because what do you mean they were best friends as kids and Ekko had a crush on her, and then he tries to ‘rescue’ her from Silco but she doesn’t want to go with him and they end up on opposing sides as enemies and he insists that ‘Powder is gone, only Jinx is left’ but he paints a mural for Powder as one of the people they’ve lost and when he has the chance to kill her he can’t bring himself to do it because he still cares about her and she tries to blow them both up because she views death as mercy and wants to die with him and then he gets sent to another universe where she’s still Powder and he falls in love with her all over again and he goes back to his universe convinced he can save her and he has to watch her kill herself over and over again before managing to convince her to live and join the fight and they do and he wears her paint and then she just… dies anyways and now he’s lost her for like, the NINTH TIME

I’m sorry but I will truly never get over Ekko who lost his mentor and all his friends at a young age, then spent the rest of his childhood building a beautiful and strong community that helped get shimmer addicts off the streets and give them a new life that thrived off of trust, respect, and loyalty while slowly watching the girl he loves lose herself to her psyche and become an unhinged suicidal terrorist who he is unable to save despite repeated attempts at it. And THEN gets booted into an alternate reality where he learns he could have had EVERYTHING, the beautiful and thriving community, the education, his family, and the girl he loves and he heartbreakingly leaves it all behind because he knows he doesn’t belong there and he has to go back to save his people which he DOES multiple times at great risk despite knowing what overextending his z-drive could do only to end up completely alone in the end. The most selfless character in the entire series. That’s my boy savior.

something something the way Jayce had to adapt and move around his new, injured leg alone and made himself a brace and staff like viktor’s, to the end where he told viktor that everyones imperfections make them who they are and that he loved viktor just the way he was, and them both having that same imperfection, that injured leg, to share… im gonna be sick someone sedate me

[reggie-gremlin]

no thoughts, just... thinking about the way Ekko looks at Powder...

they didn't kiss but their destinies are intertwined forever. they didn't kiss but in every universe they find each other and only jayce can make viktor understand his faults. they didnt kiss but jayce doomed viktor to his fate as the machine herald and then saved him. they didn't kiss but their love literally saved the world

Holly: What did you three do?

Lucy:

Lockwood:

Holly: You're not in trouble, I just need to know if I have to lie to DEPRAC again or not.

Dogwood and Co.

a.k.a. What type of dog would each member of the gang be?

Blame @womaninwinter

Lockwood

Tall, loyal, swift and precise, and also a total doofus.

George

One of the smartest dogs you'll ever meet. Does. Not. Quit.

Lucy

Loyal. Intelligent. Can be lazy as fuck but also vicious as hell when it comes down to it. Also: big ears.

Holly

Just look at it. Nuff said, really. But also: willful, intelligent, competent hunting dog 'with a cat-like personality'.

Kipps

Alternates between 'most vicious creature on earth' and 'must slink away with stolen prize'. Also a yappy little ankle biter.

Skull

Dramatic arsehole who never shuts the fuck up, but is also powerful enough to knock you off your feet and drag you miles down the road because he feels like it.

No, I am not accepting criticism.

Bonus Skullyle:

What if the thing that makes Lockwood immediately attach to Lucy is that she can still feel? What if, in a society where the children have been turned into soldiers and any form of vulnerability is seen as weakness, Lockwood sees Lucy Carlyle and is struck with how good she is. Because he's turned off his emotions, done everything he can to go numb, but she can't do that. She stands in front of him, a bleeding heart, day in and day out. And she's just as strong as him. She picks up her rapier and fights beside him. And she is still moved by the suffering of others, by beauty, by everything.

Maybe when Lockwood says "We need you, Lucy. And it's not because you're an asset...because you're Lucy Carlyle" what that really translates to is "we need you because you see the world in a way we can't anymore. We need you because there is a part of your heart that has somehow escaped unscathed—the part that feels. And in this calloused, cruel world, we need you. We need you to remind us beauty exists and life is worth living."

I keep going on Netflix to look for a new show, but I end up always being disappointed because I'm looking for a show that gives me the same feelings that Lockwood and Co does.

I'm just looking for Lockwood and Co season 2.

Skull had so much character growth. We should talk about that. My guy knew that the only person who could draw Lucy away from him was Lockwood and he decided to save him anyway.

And i’ll always be sad that he describes himself as an evil malevolent ghost because in the books we actually get to see him as a person in the other world, and even then he doesn’t remember his name.

Skull was just a kid when he died, around Lucy’s age, it makes sense that he doesn’t leave Lockwood and Co. in the end because he has good company now, even if it’s from the outside.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to articulate this for weeks but it’s interesting to me how the first four books in l&co are named for the central haunting/ghost of the story. That, combined with what we learn about Penelope/Marissa at the end of TCS, led me to assume the empty grave of book 5 would be Marissa’s.

The fact that it’s actually Lockwood’s plot is so clever. Because Lockwood’s death wish is the central haunting of the entire l&co narrative.
