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!
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

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!
keep doing what you're doing. please. keep posting, hashtagging, sharing and spreading awareness. this isn't looking as bad as it did at the start.
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.
