sorry you said he would wrestle for the most cookie and it sounded like too funny a scenario to pass up so you better fight for that cookie buddy this is for your honor (and a snack)

morion isn't sure what's going on today, but he can't deny his interest.

for some reason, people have been going around the monastery playing games with little cookie sticks. some are chocolate, some are strawberry, others are some weird flavor he can't even imagine. some games are played with anxious, edging movement while others are one-and-done.

the common denominator? people are playing chicken with cookies. this is, like, an honor thing at this point.

morion's down to clown when it comes to competitions. get him riled up enough and he'll do anything for anything---as long as it means he comes out Number One. even for a cookie!

a young man approaches him with one such challenge. he holds a cookie stick between his fingers, but there's a glimmer of fight in the gaze he holds. morion knows it well. he meets it with a smile and a raise of arms.

" y'wanna fight for that thing, boy? " he growls, completely ready to wrestle this man for a snack. " if i take it from ya, it's all mine. get ready. "

SPECIAL FILES 1/?: COMPENDIUM OF CREATURES

What's a monster-hunting organization without it's guidebook to the creatures that roam the night?

Of course, these aren't all of them, but some of the most common ones, or the ones that Val and the crew come into contact with throughout the mission.

Scientific Name: Nectarus Cuddlius Common Name: BugBear

Probably the only good creature on this list. Look at these li'l guys! These li'l creatures are more commonly found deeeeep in the forests of the country, and sometimes large, open fields- especially during the spring and summer. A bit shy, these guys go about their li'l bugbear lives, pollenating the flowers and keeping the greenery of the area alive and thriving. They can be a little bit mischevious and will sometimes steal snacks (ESPECIALLY sweets) from picnickers, but they mean no harm. Most people treat them very kindly as a result.

Scientific Name: Strigocryphagus doloris Common Name: StrigOwie StrigOwies are another form of vampire. Whereas spank-happy vampires primarily deliver pain in the name of justice, StrigOwies do it for no other reason other than they want to. They feed off of misery and pain and the resulting tears of sadness. Their appearance tends to vary based on how satiated their hunger is. If they're very hungry, they appear incredibly frightening and ugly; if not, they look no different than an ordinary kid. ...Y'know, save for the more vampiric features like fangs and such. 

Scientific Name: Energisuga vorax infantus Common Name: NosfeBratu

These young vampiric beings are not as dangerous as StrigOwie, but they still have the ability to pack a punch. They tend to appear as 'old time-y' young children (anywhere for toddler to kindergarten age or so) and feed on a victim's energy. What they occasionally lack in intelligence and/or experience, they make up for in speed and stamina. Beware their tantrums!

Scientific Name: Rattus Mallus Common Name: Mall Rat

Rat-like humans (human-like rats?) that lurk in Schprekenheim's run-down/abandoned mall. There are several types that inhabit the area: skaters (pictured), goths (present with slightly pointed ears and grayer fur), preps (lighter- often blonde- fur, smaller ears, and sharper teeth) seem to be the most common ones that appear, though others do inhabit the area and have yet to be documented. Rumor has it that a larger, more dangerous beast lurks in the basement of the mall, but this is unfounded. Surviving primarily on pizza, smoothies, snacks. and Chinese food, mall rats are like most teenagers and are relatively harmless. Cut off their food supply or get them angry enough, though...

Scientific Name: Vesperus infernalus harmonix Common Name: Jambion *Pictured is the "leader" of the jambions: OziZi*

Half demon, half human beings that essentially embody all that is the "teenage rock and roll rebel" (though there are other types as well- i.e, KPop jambions). Though very loud, their supernatural musical ability allows them to hypnotize others and put them under their control; kind of like a twisted Pied Piper that satiate their hunger with the energy and attention of others. Those under their spell take the "party hardy" motto extremely seriously, partying to the point of near-death...sometimes further if they invoke the unholy mosh pit.

Scientific Name: Canis scholacticus ferox Common Name: Wild Homework-Eating WereDog

Though not exclusive to the area, homework-eating Weredogs (fur and dog type varying based on victim) are an increasing problem in Schprekenheim. They have an affinity for homework (so long as it's well done), and may as well be the source for the age-old excuse for not having one's work done. Badly done homework is known to essentially poison and weaken them, whereas essays, presentations, and dissertations amplify their strength. There exists a subspecies of the Weredogs that consist of students that have either dropped out of school or have been expelled. These beasts are considerably more vicious- thereby earning the name "Wild" homework-eating Weredogs. They do not discern between "good" or "bad" homework and/or students, they serve to get their victims to go down a similar path as they have done, and become wild themselves. 

Wild homework-eating Weredogs are able to be distinguished by the following characteristics: Sharper, longer upper canine teeth, different colored eyes (often yellow), triangular/angled pupils, longer claws; and an "X" mark on their paw pads.

Establishing Locklyle 💙🖤⚔👻

Whilst the books may not have ramped things up between our dashing heroes until Book 3, Complete Fiction hit the ground running. It's clear from the opening scenes of Lockwood and Co that these are our canon couple.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. What I really want to do with this post is look in detail at how well the opening scenes of this series are put together, especially in the context of Locklyle. Warning, it's a long one, but there's just so much to unpack.

The show opens with a mysterious couple walking. We see their kit well before we see their faces. But it’s the dialogue between them that provides the real hook. It's intelligent and immediately starts to build the world we are entering.

In these opening moments of the series, those of us new to the world of Lockwood and Co don’t quite follow the context of the exchange, yet in the hands of these two it doesn’t matter. The dialogue is clever, natural and, importantly, has just the right amount of snark.

Lockwood's response of "No need to be facetious" indicates that he is not cowed by Lucy's criticism and her later response, with accompanying knowing grin, of 'Thought you said there was no time to be facetious', hints at an already established mutual understanding and connection. But I'll come back to this in a moment.

When they meet Mrs Hope, Lockwood immediately slips into business mode, reassuring her of their capability. She looks uncertain but it's the first hint we get of Lockwood's charm and confidence, such a large part of his literary character throughout the book series.

Lucy, however, is not so diplomatic and immediately says adults are useless anyway. Lockwood, ever conscious of impressing the client, gives Lucy a look causing her to clarify what she means.

This was a change from the book where it is Lockwood who is dismissive of adults and Lucy soothes it over with explanation. However, Complete Fiction have made a clever change here. Having Lucy deliver the line is much more consistent with their characters, reflecting Lockwood's charm and Lucy's more acerbic edge. In fact much of this interaction with Mrs Hope is reversed from the books and I think it works better to establish the characters of Lucy and Lockwood.

With Mrs Hope's departure, we move inside the home and get our first understanding of their skills. We see Lucy and Lockwood as they tune into the house and see Lucy's point of view as she vividly experiences Mr Hope's death.

I love this scene. The ease as Lockwood laughs and leans against the wall. Lucy's feistiness as she challenges him with justification for her reaction. His response? He offers tea. The first reference to what we will come to know as a staple of their world.

The warmth of the kitchen offsets the ghostly greenish glow of the rest of the house. It's a very cosy, warm and domestic scene. It works to establish a sense of the calm before the storm.

As they discuss the backstory of the haunting, I adore Lockwood's question "Sarcastic or ironic?" and Lucy's response of "The cleverer one" is perfect 👌 One more example of the easy banter between them.

From here we move back upstairs to find ourselves a ghost 👻

The world building in these opening scenes is considerable. It's hard to believe it all happens in the space of 8 minutes.

I spoke earlier about how they seem to have a connection already. In the books Lucy has been with the company for around 6 months but, in Complete Fiction's universe she is only new to the company.

Which means that she, like us, is a bit unsure about Lockwood's ability. He is clearly charming and the leader but Lucy's criticism about trying to make contact with the living coming on top of his failure to pack the chains, means we're not quite sure and then we're left with Lucy dangling over a deadly drop and the opening credits roll.

It must be said that Complete Fiction have put this opening episode together so well. We don't get to see what happens with Lucy for another half hour and I admit by then, I'd almost forgotten our beginning.

We delve into Lucy's backstory which I won't go into detail over here, that's a separate post altogether. We do however get to see the development of the connection that Lucy and Lockwood clearly have and it's evident from when they first lay eyes on each other that there is a mutual connection.

There's so much to pull apart here: George's disdain, Lucy's rising feistiness as a direct consequence and Lockwood overseeing it all. The delight with which Lockwood shows her 35 Portland Row, Lucy's obvious pleasure at finding somewhere to stay, a place that could be home.

But it's the growing connection between Lucy and Lockwood that is clear. So much so that by the time of the final exchange between them in the library, Lucy is comfortable enough with Lockwood to call him out over his overstating of the standing of "Lockwood & Co". I love Lockwood's calm explanation that it was a mild exaggeration and that lots of people make them, much like she did when she exaggerated her rapier prowess ⚔

It's reflective of Lucy's inner resolve that once she realises Lockwood is not concerned by her omission, she challenges him by asking: "How do I know you're good enough for me?"

Cue the perfect segue back to her dangling over the stairwell precipice.

Now it's Lockwood's turn to shine and turns out, yes, yes he is good enough for her 🖤💙

After fighting the ghost off, with some pretty impressive moves to be honest, Lockwood grasps Lucy from falling and here, here is the moment where Locklyle is canon.

Yes I know he's just saved her from certain death, but the way they cling to each other🤗😍💙🖤

Let's just take a moment to savour this scene 😍

Sigh 😍🤗

Now, where were we?

Lockwood is so shaken by the events that he is ready to retreat, it's Lucy that wants to push on. Ironically, it's her that is reckless at this point. The desire to understand the ghost's pain drives her on and provides an early indicator of a major plot point for upcoming episodes and indeed seasons (🙏🙏Manifesting like crazy 💙🖤🧡)

The rest of the episode unfolds at pace. They find the body, Lucy grabs herself a souvenir and saves Lockwood from Ghost lock. It's just unfortunate that it results in the ultimate destruction of the house.

But our canon couple are locked in. There's no going back from here, they just go deeper and deeper.

And we willingly go along for the ride 🤗💙🖤

night uniforms of iona's temple.

( idea taken from this ask. keep in mind, these are just ideas of what the temple uniforms look like! )

merchant 🏺

merchants in general wear maroon. it's eye catching, alluring. but what sets ionian merchants from the rest is the gold patterns woven within their garments. they wear faux fur cloaks, more so as a luxury piece to draw attention to themselves and what they have to sell.

swordsman ⚔

swordsmen wear dark greens and browns. their cloaks are of heavier material and lined with wool to protect them from the harsh elements during the job. unlike the others, ionian swordsmen carry a golden sheath. their uniform typically involves a shirt, vest/corset, and pants with lots of leather and brass embellishments.

scholar 📜

ionian scholars wear beige, blue, and ash gray robes, completed with silver arm jewelry. when out and about, they carry leather waist bags to protect the scrolls or letters they deliver.

musician 🎼

musicians wear a mesh cloak, to protect them from the lighter elements of their occasional outside jobs. though, they frequently stay indoors. their uniforms are made of simpler designs and muted colors. this is so you focus on their music more so than their clothing.

dancer 🩰

dancers wear veils instead of cloaks, as most of their jobs take place indoors. their uniforms are made of lighter materials, yet have eye-catching patterns, this compliments their alluring movements and elevates the beauty of their performance.

weaver 🧺

weavers are the pillars of gilhanian fashion. they often wear simple gowns in contrast to shawls/cloaks of elaborate designs. or they may proudly show off their intricate jewelry work. most often they dress in black, brown, or cream colors.

So like we all know Jason is canonically a reader and likes some of the classics like 'Pride and Prejudice' so like imagine a bookstore date with him. You both recommend each other different books, he would absolutely tease you if you haven't read some of the classics. Then maybe once you leave the bookstore you stop by some little sweets shop or something. Sorry, I'm just thinking about dates with soft boyfriend Jason. Like he's precious.

-⚔

nonnie you never ever have to apologise about sending in jason asks omg.

i can imagine him picking out his favourite ones if you haven't read many classics, because he wants to share those with you, and talk to you about that. i think the classics aren't for some people, but i can imagine his teasing being delivered gently, that's all lighthearted (because boys who look down on you for what you have or haven't read are such icks tbh)

i'm so soft thinking about him carrying the bag with your books in it and then stopping by a little store to try out different sweets/snacks. you come home with more than you'd expected, and jason sneaks his favourite sweets into your purse for you to find when you get home

happy 1 year, le morte d'arthur. ♡

when i initially realized that this little story of mine reached its one-year mark, i was disappointed in myself - disappointed in the fact that i've only released five chapters in a 12-month span. i felt as though i've been letting people down, that i hadn't fulfilled my duty as the author by delivering the updates my readers deserved.

however, i've had to remind myself that there is no time limit, that numbers are not a measure of success, & writting over 133,000 words in a year is no small achievement. more importantly, i’ve come to recognize the incredible patience & love my readers have shown me throughout this process. you’ve allowed me the time i've needed to navigate this intricate story, & for that, i’m endlessly grateful. i have the best readers because of that very reason.

so, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has stuck with me (& my shit updates, lol) over the past year. i want you to know that, in so many ways, this story is just beginning. there’s so much more to come, & exciting things are just on the horizon.

i also have to thank my sister, @jakeyt, for her endless support, encouragement, & help with everything that is le morte d'arthur. i've said it before, but this story simply wouldn't exist the way it does without her.

i love you all more than my heart could ever express. 🖤⚔︎
