#lockwood ramblings

[j4yslayz]

lowkey live blogging my reading of the screaming staircase because I can- I JUST READ THE END OF CHAPTER 6 AND OMG THE SHOW DID THAT BIT AMAZINGLY. it was basically word for word and I was kicking my feet and giggling happily while reading it. chapter 7 here I come!!

[j4yslayz]

gOD I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS. the "found family that saved each other" trope is just.. such a damn good trope and tbh not seen enough in my opinion. none of them can stand easily on their own, but leaning on each other makes it so they can stand together and NOBODY can knock them down except themselves.

One of the reasons Lockwood & Co is so successful is that it's built out of friendship.

Lockwood was one foot in the grave.

Lucy was lost.

George was misunderstood and lonely.

I bet these kids even stopped believing at some point they would ever be happy. But after all the pain, three broken hearts met and became each other's anchors. Trio's bond has been sealed with blood and desperate desire for human connection. Once they figured out how to use that bond, they became unstoppable.

You just know that Lockwood thinks their first date was crashing the bone glass auction

[watchers-tea]

media that’s spooky but also comforting I love you so much you don’t understand

like I need my fav characters to experience the most horrific spooky shit and then go home and have a nice little cup of tea because they deserve it

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.

I love both shows so much

[oblivious-idiot]

not so happy one year anniversary of lockwood and co’s cancellation day 🥲 my heart will never heal from such heartbreak

[soup-sponge]

i am constantly astounded by the fact that this is cameron chapman’s first on-screen role.

stage acting and screen acting are drastically different and he did such an amazing job moving from stage to screen. lockwood isn’t an easy role either (a TITLE CHARACTER??? as a FIRST ROLE?????) not to mention the fact that it's an adapted role, which means a lot more pressure to get the role “right” because a fandom already exists and he absolutely NAILED IT

in conclusion i am so proud of him thank you and goodnight

[j4yslayz]

finally dragged my bestie into watching lockwood&co >:) we just got on episode 4 and he's really liking it too I'm so excited

[personinthepalace]

I am totally not thinking about the fact that ali, cameron, and ruby wanted to have a sleepover at 35 portland row on their last day (but didn’t get to), and now they'll never see the set again 😭

[chaoss-incarnate]

kate bush's army dreamers but in a lockwood and co context

[lilaccatholic]

Apparently in the new sims pack you can have a ghost in a jar AND have a sim with the trait "chased by death". I can't believe they made a whole locklyle pack for us

[icantpickausernamesorry]

netflix is incredibly annoying.

(in this I will talk mostly about dead boy detectives since it's the one I have watched, but I acknowledge Kaos, Lockwood and co. and all the others. tag more in the reblogs!!)

like a lot of people, I clicked on dbd and like a FUCK TON of people, I adored it. and like AN ASS TON of people, I started crying when I realised it got cancelled.

now, there are a few things about this show that ticked me off when I looked into it. one, it's a show about dead guys and it was not released in October. Two, it is very inherently queer and was not released during pride month. the problem- it was released when the audience wasn't introduced to it in a proper way.

next, it was in the Top 10 list for a while, but then fell off. I think (!!) that the reason is because honestly, sometimes I get so mad that my favorite show is cancelled that I'd give up on everything too. also, there are people saying that netflix did not market this show well. I cant find anything about that since I don't have any other social media app, but if you have data pls post it here.

next, the main problem. SHIT DOES NOT GET FAMOUS WITH ONE SEASON!!

take schitts creak. from this article (which was also an inspiration for this post) I saw that it did not get much traction until the third season. THIRD. SEASON.

I think it's basic common fucking sense, but let's explain it to @netflix

imagine you get a taste of an amazing ice cream. it's beautiful. it hits all your taste buds in the best way. you gobble it up. then you find out that the ice cream is discontinued. the company that made it is fighting tk make more, but the head honchos at marketing don't care. they said that it didn't have a bit enough audience, not enough people ate it. After some research, you realise that the ice cream was released for a week. in an ice cream truck that was notorious to partner with the head honchos and routinely did this.

don't you think that that is a little FUCKING DUMB!?

the crew and cast and everything about dbd is beautiful. captivating. the season ended on SUCH a cliffhanger, leaving the audience wanting more, like ice cream. but that joy hoes un-heeded.

I genuinely don't know how to tell people that maybe, perhaps, things take time to work. relationships. a project.

A MOTHERFUCKING SHOW.

in short, I hate @netflix . they are hungry capitalist pigs who do not realise how much shows mean.

bring back binge-worthy television that does not get cancelled when the head honchos want it to.

@netflix @netflix @netflix @netflix @netflix

(p.s- check out the linked article! it's very informative and very well written!)

[dayscapism]

I really want to watch Dead Boy Detectives, it looks very good and like everything I would love in a paranormal tv show, but have been burned before, by many networks but specifically by Netflix. I will not watch any new fantasy shows by them until we have guaranteed at least 3 seasons or we already have them out. My heart cannot be broken like this again, like it did with Lockwood & Co and Shadow and Bone.

(I'm currently watching House of the Dragon and making my way through the Ghibli catalogue instead.)

[cancerian-woman]

one thing that’s never as acknowledged as it could be is that no matter what Elena/Bonnie and Tyler’s lives were always going to be connected to the supernatural world. No matter who did or did not come into town it was their lives.

Tyler’s level of protectiveness towards Elena could’ve been something so interesting. Tyler is casted to the side but one constant thing (outside of Caroline or Klaus mess) remains is that softness and refusal to let Elena be hurt because they were friends. Imagine if some of that went to Bonnie too!

Elena is written very Salvatore centered and so disconnected from her friends but her best moment imo is when she’s laughing/smiling with her friends celebrating a Klaus free life with them. In fact it’s one of MFG’s best moments together. Even in s1-2 she shown to be compassionate to her friends.

So many of Bonnie’s deleted scenes is simply someone else showing they care about her and see her. Being a Bennett was going to hold weight to her life. Show someone else trying to empathize with that.

It’s just… why couldn’t the mfg be shown being friends a little longer. Impact the importance of the other two bloodlines whose descendants were destined to be affected.

many other thoughts I’ll elaborate on them when I feel like it 😭
