#lockwood and co nation

[locklyle1kanij]

I’ve seen the hate the some of the Lockwood and Co fans have been getting for them posting about how being in the Lockwood and Co fandom is starting to feel like a job and i wanna say i agree with them.

No hate to anyone but i actually never really participated in the weekly hashtag because i know, for me, if i did do that, i think it would have made the fandom not as enjoyable as it is for me today!

Like don’t get me wrong, i think it’s amazing like with the premonition we are getting like, we convinced Alex Meyers to watch this show and he liked enough to make a video on Lockwood and Co! That’s huge premonition, and i think we should be proud!

But this premonition stuff can get to the point where it can really be affecting a persons mental health, and that’s where you do whatever you need to do take a break, even leave the fandom, if that’s what’s best for your health, you should absolutely always being taking you health first.

What i’ve been doing is i just post about Lockwood and Co whenever i feel like it (which is honestly quite often). You don’t have to be actively promoting the show for you to be a part of the Lockwood and Co fandom, and the way people are getting hate for simply stating their opinion is absolutely insane!

My favourite thing about the Lockwood and Co is the fandom! I love talking to people about Lockwood and Co, just about random things! I like occasional making edits for the show and books, but if it comes in way of your mental health, this shouldn’t be a debate because YOU COME FIRST!! YOU take YOUR break or whatever that you need to do because you deserve it okay!! I love all of the Lockwood and Co fandom and it breaks my heart then any of these creators are getting hate!

Shows that got cancelled despite being good, popular, and having tonnes of potential to go on to become classics:

Kaos - 1 season - Netflix - Ends with set up for a following season

Shadow and Bone - 2 seasons - Netflix - Season 3 was already mostly written when cancelled

My Lady Jane - 1 season - Amazon Prime - Story not resolved, set up for a second season (in fact the show shows you what's supposed to happen in the second season)

Half-Bad: The Bastard Child and the Devil Himself - 1 Season - Netflix - Main story wrapped up but easily open enough for a second series exploring the world

Star Wars: The Acolyte - 1 season - Disney Plus - First series feels mostly like set up for a second series we'll now never get

Dead Boy Detectives - 1 season - Netflix - Set up for a second series with a minor cliff hanger and an open continuation for the characters

Lockwood and Co - 1 season - Netflix - Potential for a second season

I Am Not Okay With This - 1 season - Netflix - Story not properly resolved, needed a second season

National Treasure: Edge of History - 1 season - Disney Plus - Story concluded, but lots of potential for a second season

Gentleman Jack - 2 Seasons - HBO Max/BBC - So much more potential, it had so much real life basis it could have followed

Our Flag Means Death - 2 Seasons - HBO Max - I actually liked the ending we got, but I feel like the show had more potential, particularly with the crew

First Kill - 1 season - Netflix - (Not one I watched, it was on my tbw but it got cancelled and I didn't see the point)

Grease: Rise of The Pink Ladies - 1 season - Disney Plus - So much more potential And Insult to injury they've all but wiped it from the platform

A running theme for these shows are that they have a pretty high amount of LGBT rep, with a lot of these shows centering on queer characters and stories, as well as representation for POC. There are also a lot of fantasy/supernatural shows.

I just find it fascinating that there seems to be a lot of similarities between most of these shows.

GUYS WE NEED TO GET LOCKWOOD TO WIN!!

FINAL ROUND

Propaganda

Jean Discole: (Via @mistresshasty; tw kidnapping)

Saw his parents kidnapped. Violently. Then he was left alone with his kid brother to report this to the police when he's all of 8yo. This man's name isn't even Jean Descole. Descole is an alter ego for his other alter ego, Desmond Sycamore. Why? Because he GAVE HIS NAME AWAY to his younger brother so said younger brother could be adopted in his place after their parents were kidnapped. Like legit, people came and said they could only adopt one kid and Descole straight up said, yup, my kid brother, this is Hershel, not me, nope (shut up Theo, you're Hershel now.)

Then fast forward to adulthood where he's finally healing some of the Trauma, only for his wife and daughter to die mysteriously (though its heavily implied it was by the same people who kidnapped his parents.) Then, as he's getting his revenge on that organization, guess what? The leader is his long lost father who went crazy after his wife (Descole's mom) died in captivity. Descole has 0 chill because he has had 0 breaks in life.

Oh, and one last kick in the face. The titular character of the series, and Descole's arch nemesis, Professor Layton, yeah, that's the kid brother Descole gave up his future for. He deserves to be a dramatic bitch. He's earned it.

Netflix keeps stabbing themselves in the gut and then complaining that they’re bleeding out, it’s beyond asinine.

I hope their bullshit decision gets enough backlash and attention that another service picks it up and shows Netflix what a stupid move they made.

There’s basically no reason to keep paying obscene prices for a severe lack of good shows and when you do get a gem they cancel it because it isn’t a Stranger Things level money grab

Lockwood and Co.'s first and last episode both starting with a shot of a ghost lamp is something so special to me.

[biscuitrule]

If only rich people today had taste or were involved in fandom because they literally have the resources to make what they want happen.

If I was rich I’d patron the fuck out of the arts. You’d 100% catch me personally funding the Lockwood and Co renewal. No price too high.

jonathan and georgina stroud have been interacting with posts on twitter about passing to another studio, which is a positive sign that they want to do something. it's unclear how much control the strouds have over this, but they're on our side.

authors like rick riordan and eoin colfer have interacted with instagram posts about the cancellation, sharing their thoughts on how it shouldn't have been cancelled.

#savelockwoodandco has reached 10k+ tweets!

Can we all:

A) stop pitting show vs book Lockwood and co related things against each other because they’re both great in different ways. you can obviously have a favourite or prefer something in one or the other but I’ve seen too many people hating on one or the other

B) hating on each other for having a favourite. (Big difference of preferring one though versus calling my one worse or shit etc. there yes can be things you can point out as not great to you or that you didn’t enjoy but there’s not need for blatant hate) Again it ties in with the top one

Ive just been seeing so much unnecessary bullshit. Pitting them against one another and fighting with each other doesn’t help this be a fandom of unity, it just causes more hate.

Neither is better or worse in the scheme of things it’s personal preference they’re both great in different ways because they’re two different things but related by being based on the same story!

Basically you can’t compare a sculpture to a painting they’re two different mediums but they’re both works of art (it doesn’t mean either is perfect either they’re just admired for being awesome to you!)

Thought this was so cute and had to share it on here. So glad Jonathan Stroud is interacting with the community. Hopefully it’s a good sign for our efforts and even if it’s not I’m glad he has been getting the love he deserves for writing Lockwood & Co.

[wellgoslowly]

just wanna apologize right off the bat for this one….

i’m so sorry y’all
