George: I'm so tired of this life. I want to be a roomba. I want knives taped to me. And I want to be set loose

Just the l&co universe being described as dark and cold the entire series. But Lucy describes Lockwood as warmth and sunshine.

He lightens her world🥲.

“After dark, ring bell and wait beyond the iron line.”

Here’s a Lockwood and Co. book cover I’ve illustrated! I’ve spent most of my winter break reading these books and they are SO much fun.

Lockwood & Co. incorrect quotes (3/?) LOCKWOOD & CO. (2023)

I love that George doesn't have a tragic backstory. He has a home, a good family, and he's so smart. He didn't have to be an Agent, he could have continued school or pursued something safer and easier. But he chose to risk trauma, injury, and death, he is often traumatised, injured, and near death, all because he decided as a small child that he was going to fix the world and he will not back down from that goal. To have other options and choose a hard life for yourself on purpose simply because you see something wrong and you want to try and fix it takes such an incredibly strong person. He's so cool.

[id: ink drawings of modern au Lockwood and Co characters with Skull being a cat.

1. Lockwood and Lucy introduce themselves. Lucy holds Skull—a black cat with white markings on the head, resembling a skull—and extends his paw in direction of Lockwood's extended hand and taps him, Lockwood looks concerned. they have an exchange, “I'm Lockwood.”—“Lucy.”—“Please don't. He hates me.” 2. Lucy sits on the floor in front of her laptop with books and notebooks around her. cat!Skull circles her and leans to sniff her extended hand. Lucy is distracted from her screen. 3. George sits on the floor with his legs crossed, he's typing on laptop but is distracted by cat!Skull loafing on top of sheets of papers. George says, “I need those”./end id]

One of the things I love most about Lockwood is that he is the textbook example of the "one who is scared to love" but instead of being extremely cold and callous all the time like your normal tragic backstory male mc, he can't stop himself from loving.

The thing is, we know he tries. (See THB). He tries to keep everyone at a distance, tries to be cold and calculating, but he can't do it. He wants to be Sherlock Holmes, highly functioning sociopath, but he can't do it.

And it shows up in the smallest ways: how immediately understanding he is of Lucy when she doesn't want to explain what happened at Jacobs' even though he is interviewing her for a job. How he stood up for the bratty nightwatch kid when Ned was bullying him, simply because he didn't like watching someone smaller get picked on. Or when he mercifully changed the bet with Kipps, because at the end of the day it was a petty bet to begin with, and they had just been through so much together, and honestly it didn't matter anymore. There was no reason to humilate anyone. How he will always protect another agent, even if they are Fittes. Heck, he even stands up for the Fittes' agents, saying "they're just kids like us." It's the adults he has beef with.

Lucy mentions that any news of a death by ghost-touch weighs on Lockwood. He is incredibly patient with Danny Skinner and perturbed that a kid this young is in his living room alone.

All three of them think of Lucy as the one with the bleeding heart. She's a Listener, a feeler, the one who is most affected by the past suffering of the ghosts. But that's for the dead.

Lockwood is a bleeding heart for the living. He tries not to be. He hates it. Because caring means risking hurt. Caring means you can lose what you care about. But for as hard as he tries to pretend he doesn't, for as good as he is at acting like nothing can phase him, it does.

Lockwood is scared of loving. But he can't stop.

Kipps: We need more help. Maybe I should call my friends

Holly: Your what?  Kipps: My friends

Lucy: Is he saying ‘friends’?

George: I think he’s being sarcastic

Lockwood: No, no, no, this is delirium, he’s gone mental from being awake all night

Lockwood: Oi Quill! All of your friends are in this room!
