lav made a very important post on twitter today. no one knows what he went through at winkman’s. when lucy got up she probably didn’t realize he was sitting in an electrical chair and when they got out she didn’t ask. he didn’t tell. george asked what they’d been doing all night but lockwood didn’t tell him. he didn’t tell them.
something something the way that the adults who appear friendly at first (joplin, penelope) are antagonists, something something the way that the adults who appear unfriendly at first (barnes, kipps) are the ones who are ultimately allies
earlier today i was going insane in my uni's library while reading the hollow boy so here are some thoughts i had that were too long for a post
i've seen the "come off it, you know i'd die for you" line floating around tumblr ever since i finished the show but nothing could've prepared me for the context in which lockwood says that. he nearly did!! earlier in the book when he jumps to save her life amd ends up nearly fracturing his skull!! and then again he risked his life in the department store, she was thrown off into an underground abandoned prison with multiple spirits he goes after her!!
oh and the fact that the fetch pretended to be lockwood??? and lucy thought he'd died??? i knew was probably alive and i still had my heart beating fast as fuck
ALSO
the fucking title of the book. just last week i was wondering what "the hollow boy" might be referring to and then in the scene with the fetch where lucy realizes it's not actually lockwood because the body of thing was hollow i thought "oh that's why" but then he fucking drops this???
i was actually going insane over this
ALSO ALSO
this?? i know that at some point lucy leaves the agency and i think i'm starting to figure out why/how and i am not liking where this is going
