ep 12

[indelen]

I love how this episode gets to some fundamentals of Lockwood's character and how they are often so contradictory. He's stylish, posh and urbane and yet also an absolute dork and a nerd. He can be charming but also can be insufferable. He's very intellectual and has a good analytic mind but then instead of doing the logical thing he decides to play dress up or throws bombs at the problem. His brain has not finished developing but he owns a house and a business. He's one of those adolescent German Shepherds with huge paws and ears that the rest of the body hasn't grown into. He's still cooking.

There were two things I kinda wanted to throw into your discussion:

1) when did Gravedigger Sykes die? Because it seems like Lockwood lost him recently. Like, not a full year from interviewing Lucy, maybe six months? The timeline is wonky but the agency by that point has only been around 3 months and Lockwood probably started it after losing Sykes as a mentor. I think it adds to why he's not ok talking about him.

2) another is that while Lockwood has a huge vendetta against ghosts (for obvious reasons) he is generally very forgiving of people. He is pissed at Lucy when she admitted to snooping in Jessica's room but he tells her to walk through some slime and calls it even. He doesn't let the grudge fester. It's already in the past. And the past doesn't matter. And you might say "well he's in love with Lucy" and he is, but in the later books he also similarly forgives Kipps very quickly, faster than anyone. When Kipps was truly cruel to him many times and actively tried to ruin the agency he worked so hard to build. I think that's kind of extraordinary as a quality for an otherwise absolute emotional mess of a teenager.

It’s Boxing Day in the UK, St. Stephen’s Day in Ireland, and December 26th in the US, and there’s no way we’d rather spend it than discussing the beloved namesake of our series — the one and only Anthony J. Lockwood, Esq.!

For our third episode of Haunting the Narrative, we’re going to be digging into all things Lockwood. We’ll talk about his dark backstory and how that links to the core traits and motivations we see him display. We'll discuss his ambition, his relationship to his family, and his own search for meaning throughout the books.

Somehow this is our shortest episode yet, which is nothing short of a Christmas miracle.

Not the final version I think. But wanted to draw him throughout the season. Had a BLAST and EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER RIDE while listening. BUT I'M FINE.

Anyway, here's a wet cat of a man.

No one talks about how michael shelley was angry. no one talks about how michael distortion was murderous. helen barely got that bad and she was the distortion during the apocalypse. michael was quiet with his anger but it ran free when he had the power to hurt people. he wanted to, somewhere deep down. that is before we get to the revenge aspect. he never grew out of his thirst for revenge towards the archives and the institute and gertrude more than anything, the one he trusted and loved like a parent who abandoned him, left him for bait. michael wanted someone dead for his pain, he wanted to hurt someone like he had been hurt.
