there are a lot of evil people in the world and a lot of darkness in the world and so it’s very important for me to stress that now more than ever is the time to spread kindness and compassion. combat the evil by not only not partaking in it, but actively refuting it. destroy the notion that being compassionate or generous or kind to someone is uncool or embarrassing or even scary. be the change you want to see. start a chain reaction. positivity only breeds more positivity. do an act of kindness for someone so that that person who is too afraid to do it themselves can see you, realize that they’re not alone, and perhaps sheepishly follow your example. and then the next person who is too afraid but sees that person can do the same. when bad news comes out about bad people or horrible atrocities in the world it’s such an easy impulse to despair, and obviously it’s important to feel what you need to feel. grieve. be angry. be sorrowful. be empathetic. but dust off your pants and get up and be a part of a chain reaction that, no matter how small the scale, and spread compassion and love and care. all the reasons why you might not—“it’s hard! it’s scary! people will make fun of me! it’s useless because there’s too much evil!” are all grade A arguments as to why you should. you have no idea how many people you could inspire to do the same. even if it doesn’t get you anyway far, you can at least say you have the nobility of trying. please choose love and please choose life. you are worth loving and you are worth inspiring others to love

still absolutely losing my mind at lockwood in the creeping shadow when george asks “do you remember what we found in the tunnels” and lockwood, with a big ass grin thinking he’s being so clever goes “i found lucy :D”

[multifandumbmeg]

Do you ever think about how Lucy not only left, she left right before/at the start of The Black Winter. More importantly, they don't have cell phones in timeline/The Problem UK.

Lockwood couldn't just call her or text to check in on her. There was no email. She left, making it clear she didn't want contact, and gave no address. For the entire BLACK WINTER- AKA the extreme height of ghost activity for the entire duration of the Problem. And she left to pursue her dangerous experiments with befriending ghosts that had already almost gotten her and others killed multiple times that year.

He had no idea where she was. If she was alive. All he had were newspaper obituaries.

When you look at it that way, it makes utter sense how unhinged he became when she was gone. How desperate and bereft he was. Every single person he has ever loved (apart from George, who almost does later) has died. And once he finally met someone strong enough to keep up with him, she left to dive headlong into the most danger that has literally ever existed.

No wonder he became an insane depressed feral nightmare boy. Wouldn't you?

George invading and burning down a whole facility because he thought Lockwood and Lucy died – I NEED TO SEE THIS IN ACTION 😩

White Lily Cookie's braids were giving me a hard time so I decided to draw how Pure Vanilla's appearance would look instead lol. I was going to make him a jester like the faeries but then remembered that Shadow Milk Cookie likes plays and stories. A story wouldn't be fun if everyone was the same character, and Pure Vanilla was supposed to be more of a main character, unlike the faeries. So, going with the jester theme, I decided to make him a puppet king instead!

His appearance doesn't change in the animation because Shadow Milk Cookie figured that it would hurt White Lily more if Pure Vanilla Cookie betrayed her while still looking like himself. Casually planting seeds of doubt in her mind.

I also realised kings have knights, so I'm giving PV a knight :D (to be designed later). Also, I headcanon that Shadow Milk Cookie is a theatre kid who likes dancing.

edit: I spelt Knight wrong in the image XD

lucy leaving the agency at the end of THB is so so so important for her character growth. it's actually crazy to see how much she's grown mentally and became more independent in TCS. she stopped playing the victim in any argument she is in. she became much more patient and understanding towards people because she had to deal with all kinds of agents and supervisors during her freelance work, and also stopped blindly following lockwood's orders and acquired leadership skills of her own. before tcs it seemed like she had problem with everyone, except maybe lockwood - george, kipps, holly, kat, barnes etc. it surprised me how she managed to obtain such good relationship with almost anyone she met in tcs, after three books of straight up hating every person she saw. moreover, you could say that she actually becomes one of the chillest people in the agency.

she finally gets a mind of her own and is able to stand up for herself and her friends when needed.

rereading lockwood & co and realising that most of lockwood and lucy's dynamic is them taking turns panicking at the other's lack of self-preservation instinct

[trashcanpam]

Fully convinced that in The Creeping Shadow, the reason Holly takes much longer dressing Lockwood as a relic man is that she embraces the opportunity to make Mr. Vanity look like an absolute tit in front of his crush.

thinking of george who was really hurt by lucy leaving the agency bc he was left to try and help pick up lockwood but also himself bc she really did see and understand him in a unique and personal way

like lucy and george have such a special friendship, they understand each other so fully even without saying any words, just by the way they read each others body language. like imagine losing one of your best friends and your other best friend becomes even more reckless to try and cope and you’re left in the middle
