#this is literally Lockwood and co

[jesslockwood]

Y’all look at this Lockwood and co picture I haven’t seen before:

I love them 😍

rereading lockwood & co and realising that most of lockwood and lucy's dynamic is them taking turns panicking at the other's lack of self-preservation instinct

after my first #netflixhate post, i spent weeks and weeks gathering data on other incidents. and now, after having just seen a post about midnight club, the circle is finally complete.

btw i will continue gathering these and my next one is gonna be a picture of julius caesar (netflix) getting stabbed 23 times by his own council members (the ghosts of Netflix Originals past)

Not to be dramatic but Jonathan Stroud's letter announcing Lockwood and Co's cancelation literally broke me.

Like "Portland Row is always open for business"? "Drop by any time"? "It's your home too, after all"?

HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BE OKAY AFTER THIS

[rryylleer]

This is gonna get a little conspiracy-y so hold on to your tinfoil hat but I feel so sad bc in some ways it feels like Dead Boy Detectives was set up to fail from the start.

First there's the time it was released. Idk about other counties but in the U.S. rn its finals season in school, meaning the bulk of the people who would watch this show (teens and young adults) are busy trying to get through final exams. I have a feeling if the show was released in the summer it would be doing better numbers than it is right now. Hopefully viewship picks up as we move towards summer but I also know shows that don't do well in the first week tend to get the ax.

The other thing is that I think DBD is becoming an innocent victim of a self fulfilling prophecy that is entirely Netflix's fault. Literally everywhere I look that has anything to do with DBD someone is complaining about Lockwood and Co. getting cancelled and/or refusing to watch DBD because they don't want to get invested in another show just for it to get cancelled after one season. This is the part that will likely get DBD cancelled (God I hope not) and it is heartbreaking bc it is an incredible show that doesn't deserve a boycott bc of Netflix's past bullshit.

So if you are one of the people who are refusing to watch bc your a Lockwood and Co. fan PLEASE WATCH IT. I get it, it sucks that your show got cancelled, but boycotting DBD will not make Netflix change their minds. If you loved Lockwood and Co. You will almost certainly enjoy Dead Boy Detectives. So please give it a try bc if this show gets cancelled bc of low viewership I will literally go insane :)

LOCKWOOD & CO. (2023)

[wylansvanhendriks]

i literally don’t care who says otherwise, lucy and lockwood are the most UNHINGED CODEPENDENT FREAKS of any media. from their very first interaction lucy can already see herself fighting ghosts alongside lockwood indefinitely. lockwood giving lucy his sister’s necklace. basically the entirety of the hollow boy. come off it, luce, you know i’d die for you. lucy leaving the agency so lockwood doesn’t end up dying because of her. lockwood waiting for The Case Of A Lifetime to get lucy to come back to him. their journey to the other side. lockwood saving lucy when her cape tore. THEIR MATCHING WHITE STREAKS. lucy and lockwood becoming even closer after their trip to the other side. lockwood showing lucy his families’ graves. he will sacrifice his life for you. lucy swinging from a trapeze to save lockwood. skull implying that lucy is lockwood’s reason for living. it was a symbol of his undying devotion. lucy always staying behind with lockwood when he tells the others to go without him. lucy knowing that lockwood will inevitably follow her to penelope’s room in fittes house. lockwood arriving at the penthouse and lucy’s heart singing at his arrival. lucy staying with lockwood because she couldn’t imagine living without him. lockwood asking lucy out for a walk and gifting her his mother’s necklace. lucy putting on the necklace and ending the story with her going to lockwood.

You know what line is spoken so casually but breaks my heart every. single. freaking. time?

Lucy: She's in pain...

Lockwood: Of course she is, she's dead.

Lockwood believes that any afterlife ghosts (and possibly all people) experience is agony. From this simple line, we see into his mind and find that he thinks his parents, his sister, any agents or friend or anyone else he's lost- he thinks they're suffering.

...as someone who's lost a close relative recently, I can't imagine how hard it would be to grieve properly and healthily if I believed that they were hurting. My grandpa was in a lot of pain before he passed away, but now that he's on the other side (the true other side, not the limbo we see ghosts trapped in), I know he's at peace. I personally believe he's in heaven, the literal best place anyone could ever be, and that thought, that knowledge, brings me so much comfort.

No wonder Lockwood has such a hard time letting go, he must think that holding onto his family's memory is the only way he can make their supposed suffering somehow worth it.

To anyone who's in the same boat as him, I just want you to know it's okay to let them go. They're okay now. Holding onto what they went through in life or right before their life ended is not going to help them, it's only hurting you. It's hard to let yourself grieve and harder to let yourself heal but I promise it's worth it. We saw Lockwood do it with the help of his new friends and family and I know you and I can do it too.

[bobbys-not-that-small]

just had the FUNNIEST thought

you know how Bobby is canonically tiny? I forgot that he’s also a CHILD (slash teen)

now I can’t stop thinking about Bobby going through late puberty and suddenly SHOOTING UP to be this gangly 6’4” teen who doesn’t know how to handle his new height
