One month after Lucy’s return to Lockwood and Co. and six months after the Wintergarden case tore them apart, things are going swimmingly. But a new case is going to test Lockwood and Lucy’s working relationship. Can they solve some of their unresolved issues from the autumn while battling a ghost, or maybe two?

Wymack is just picking up traumatized kids and being like ok is anyone else gonna father them?? and doesn't wait for an answer just carries them around forever even if they're french

[notacluedo]

Jeremy is so brave bc if I saw Jean doing up his gloves with his teeth it would’ve been over for me

[1200flowers]

jean moreau is nineteen. he is nineteen. he is just a boy he is hardly alive!! imagine you’re an exy coach for USC and this nineteen year old boy hands you his racket and practically asks you to beat him with it. imagine you’re a nineteen year old boy and you’ve been waterboarded ten times and made to break three of your own fingers and tortured so extensively for the past five years of your life that you’re begging others to let you die. imagine you’re kevin day and you have to make this nineteen year old boy promise that he won’t kill himself. imagine you’re a nineteen year old boy and you’ve just learned your sister is dead and you’ve destroyed and betrayed yourself and it was all for nothing. imagine you’re a nineteen year old boy and you kill yourself in every universe but this one.

list of my favorite things about jeremy knox:

he's an english major

he's a middle child

he says words like "heck" and "hecka" and "hecked"

his best friends are lesbians

barkbark von barkenstein

having different animal noises as ringtones for the trojans based on what position they play

uses a light racquet for more control over winning stick checks

bleached his entire head because he couldn't go through with frosted tips

"you are going to be my success story: jean moreau the person, not jean moreau of the perfect court."

love this. love their dynamic. love that jeremy is like “what the fuck why would you say it like that”. love watching the foxes (and jean) try to interact with anyone relatively normal and just coming off way too intense.

[jeanmoreaux]

can’t let go of laila’s “would it kill you to fuck someone who respects you?” because there is two sides to jeremy’s poor choices in my opinion. on the one hand, i think he’s pretty aware that the guys he picks are disrespectful assholes and picks them for that exact reason. we know that jeremy mostly avoids talking about his past. he even tends to lie about it or at least talk around it. so hooking up with people who don’t respect him works out great for him because the thing about disrespectful assholes is that they don’t care about emotional intimacy or getting to know him—there is safety in that kind of distance. and even if there is a rejection, it’s not a rejection of him, because they don’t really know him. but it’s still a way to experience a counterfeit kind of closeness. on the other hand, i also believe there’s this ugly small part of him that thinks this is the kind of love he deserves. the kind of love he was taught to think he deserves and learned from every barbed and disrespectful comment thrown his way by his family. amd now he keeps reaffirming this belief with every partner he choses who doesn’t care about him beyond what he has to offer in bed, who doesn’t check up on him unless they’re looking for a quick hookup, who roughens him up non-consensually.

so yeah, to jeremy fucking someone who respects him probably feels like handing them everything they’d need to kill him—because it would mean he’d have to open up and make himself vulnerable enough to invite a level of trust and intimacy and love into that type of relationship that could be ripped away or turn into digust, leaving him feeling more rejected and abandoned and isolated than he already does.

motion fatigue

Rating: G | Category: F/M | Relationship: Lockwood/Lucy, Lucy&Skull

“You need to sleep,” he says.

Lucy says, almost without thinking, “I don’t want to.”

Because she doesn’t. Because sleeping means dreaming and Lockwood knows exactly what dreaming entails right now. And then there’s the cold, which still hasn’t retreated, even with the cape and the tea and Lockwood’s arm pressed in a warm line along her own while they drank it.

He doesn’t answer, just takes her by the hand and leads her from the kitchen, flicking off the lights as they go. And she lets him, because she’s tired and aching, and because it’s Lockwood doing it.

Or, recovering from walking in the land of the dead isn't easy, but Lockwood and Lucy are giving it their best shot.

The sunshine court’s characterisation of Jeremy Knox is fucking sublime btw

• guy who is very chill and friendly not bc of temperament but because he has decided to be chill and friendly and is clinging onto that with his fucking teeth >>>>>>>>>>>>

• the gentle… not quite manipulation, but like conflict resolution and team management?

Jean hangs up on him and he calls back immediately and a) doesnt accuse or chide b) pretends it was his mistake to gently shift the tone and c) maintains focus on his goal. This is like, insane people skills and I wish we got more of it in the latter part. I would KILL to see him dealing with the team in depth

• this man hates 1: cops 2: congressmen (specifically those who are fucking his mum) 3: every fucker who ever said a bad word to jean Moreau and for that we have to give props

• sooooo many plot hooks for this guy. like he has a History and i for one am waiting eagerly to hear it

• canonically gay and horny. we have no choice but to stan.

• has a butler?!?!?!?

Just overall such a good character that managed to walk the line of pleasant surprise but also fulfilling fan hopes based on precious little canon information

[jeanmoreaue]

the fact that nora made Jean gentle at heart is so special to me. despite everything that’s happened to him and although he’s a bit abrasive, he still cleans the damn dishes and puts away leftovers without being asked i love him so much

[vampiredayflower]

the most underrated friendship will always be Andrew and Wymack they are like best friends to me

[simmyblue4]

With you there brother.😭
