this is quite possibly THE MOST savage thing I’ve read in my life:

When I heard people talking about the “‘come off it.’ Lockwood said, ‘you know I’d die for you’” quote from the Hollow Boy I thought it was supposed to be cute or romantic or something, not Lockwood inadvertently confirm Lucy’s greatest fear

#like this girl literally just had the fake ghost of the love of her life telling her that he’s gonna die and it’s going to be her fault #lockwood and co #lockwood and co spoilers #lucy carlyle #anthony lockwood #locklyle #lnco #the hollow boy #the hollow boy spoilers

Was listening to The Hollow Boy and in the news article at the end of the book they mention "Quill F. Kipps"??? Hello?? That means that Mr. Quill Kipps has a middle name starting with the letter F and I do not believe that we have any information telling us what this middle name is. (Correct me if I am wrong because I am dumb enough to get this wrong)

So now I ask you, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE F STANDS FOR GUYS GIVE ME YOUR MOST OUTRAGEOUS ANSWERS OR THE MOST GENERIC ONES EVER IDC I want to see the opinions of this strangely wonderful community.

Sorry if this post makes no sense or is weird I wrote it in about a minute and just had a huge amount of ice-cream so my brain is doing 20x more calculations per second than usual so yeah

The "Come off it, you know I'd die for you" line that Lockwood gives to Lucy took me out when I saw it on Tumblr but with context it's like... It's so much better.

He says this after she tells him he shouldn't have jumped after her into a gaping dark hole that opened up in the earth and swallowed her into these hidden catacombs infested with ancient ghosts. She says "you shouldn't have come" and he says the line. He gives her his coat, the one he's ALWAYS wearing. The one that he wears like a mask or a cape, you know. His uniform that isn't a uniform. They're huddled in the dark with candles and they really should get out of there but he takes a minute to sit her down and make sure she's okay even though they're surrounded by the dead. They don't even know if the passage lets out anywhere. Lockwood didn't even know she was alive when he jumped in with no way to get back up!

It's not quite Percy jumping into Tartarus for Annabeth in terms of utter disregard for personal risk, but in the context of their universe, I think it's damn close enough.

Unpopular opinion on The Hollow Boy but when it comes to the whole thing with Holly/Lucy. I’m on Lucy’s side completely. Was Lucy kinda of rude to Holly, absolutely. But Holly was rude right back, she criticized Lucy’s clothing, habits, diet, called her weird. And Holly is close to being an adult, she’s supposed to the mature one of the group. So why does she act that way? You can’t fight fire with fire. And then with the whole thing that she’s jealous of Lockwood and George liking Holly better than her. I get it because from Lucy’s perspective that’s what it seems like. When Lucy first gets to Lockwood and Co. Lockwood is polite to her and George and her do not get along at all. Compare that with Holly whom Lockwood opened up to immediately and George seems to like her right away. Lucy really had to earn the boys trust and everything. While both boys immediacy were fawning over Holly right away when they met her

Y’know

I try not to think about the cancellation too much and just enjoy being in the fandom and enjoying the show me the books that we have

But we were ROBBED of a second season

I’m still so genuinely upset

I cannot believe that they cancelled it, everyone who worked on it and everyone in the fandom deserved a second season

#(MAJOR SPOILERS LOWER IN THE NOTES) #like we *shouldn’t have to be* in the depths of campaigning to save this show #BECAUSE IT AND SO MANY OTHER SHOWS LIKE IT JUST SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN CANCELED IN THE FIRST PLACE #I just want to see another season so bad #I want to see The Hollow Boy and The Creeping Shadow and The Empty Grave play out on screen #I want to be there when the trailer gets dropped and we get behind the scenes pictures and have a watch party on the premiering day #I want to see Holly and the fetch and Lucy leaving and the Guppy case and the skull and the Other Side and La Belle Dame Sans Merci and #the graves and the unfolding of the aftermath of George getting mugged and the second necklace and the battle of Portland Row and #the faceoff with Fittes and JUST THEM. I JUST WANT TO SEE THEM AGAIN. #lockwood & co #lockwood and co #lockwood & co book spoilers #lockwood and co book spoilers #the hollow boy spoilers #the creeping shadow spoilers #the empty grave spoilers

The funniest thing reading the hollow boy for the first time as a 19 year old was that Lucy was so very concerned about Lockwood picking Holly over her, and yeah maybe Lockwood had the tiniest of crushes on Holly for a minute there. Maybe.

But at the end of the day, Lucy, I guarantee you, the hottest 18 year old girl you’ve ever seen does not want ur 16 year old boyfriend. She’s got better options available to her, I promise u.

#it’s also like #Lucy makes Lockwood seem like the hottest guy on the planet but that’s literally because she’s in love with him #like this is a 16 yo boy who’s never dated anyone and who can’t talk about his emotions for shit. I think u might be safe actually #Lockwood and co #lockwood and co spoilers #the hollow boy #the hollow boy spoilers #Holly munro #lucy carlyle #locklyle #anthony lockwood #rai’s text posts

my tears ricochet but in the context of locklyle after lucy leaves in thb:

"even on my worst day did I deserve babe all the hell you gave me" -> lockwood being so emotionally stunted didnt know how to work thru his feelings in any way other than distancing himself for lucy through no fault of hers (or his technically)

"I swear I loved you till my dying day" -> even throughout their fight/all the way till she left (and even beyond that) lucy loved lockwood so much despite how cold he was to her and how hurt she felt GIVE MY GIRL A BREAK

"you know I didn't want to have to haunt you" -> lucy and lockwood being irrevocably tied to each other

"I didn't have it in myself to go with grace" -> all the fights with holly where lucy was acting arguably petty/immature but only because she was losing her favourite person to someone else

"and you're the hero flying around, saving face" -> lockwood always wanting to preserve his/the company's reputation, wanting to be the best/the 'hero,' acting distant from lucy cuz he wouldn't confront/accept the reality of their relationship (+ strain from him wishing she wouldnt be so reckless which like LOL pot kettle black etc)

"and if I'm dead to you why are you at the wake?" -> pre aickmere's incident, where lucy was getting more and more desperate but he was still so cold towards her

"cursing my name, wishing I stayed" -> sums up lockwood's complicated/conflicting feelings about lucy SO well, he loves her but also hates her for putting herself in danger and is so scared of being that vulnerable with her UGHH

"cause when I'd fight you used to tell me I was brave" -> this is like all those times when lucy went along w lockwood even when he was being reckless cuz HELL if she was going to let him be reckless alone, and they kind of understood each other on that level the way no one else in the series rlly does like its this sacred mutual recognition thats so special to them, but the "you USED to tell me" indicating how their relationship has disintegrated and how that special bond/ANY kind of special bond btw them is rapidly dissolving. also abt how lucy who has been so tough and strong all alone for so long in her life rlly valued lockwood's support/started to need him (was quite bad off without him in her apartment). ofc she's brave and a part of her knows it, but that warmth of having someone stand by your side to catch u if u fall?? irreplacable

"I can go anywhere I want just not home" -> self-explanatory

"you can aim for my heart go for blood but you would still miss me in your bones" -> references how mean he was towards her but underlying all that was his love and need for her still </3 also, connotation of bones = skeleton = death = the empty grave waiting for him??

"and I still talk to you when I'm screaming at the sky"/"and when you cant sleep at night you hear my stolen lullabies" -> lockwood esp is so haunted by lucy after she leaves, 'screaming' referencing lucy's predisposition to get mad rather than sad, lockwood's insomnia like it all just lines up so WELL

"and so the battleships will sink beneath the waves" -> battleships symbolising all the visitors they fought together + maybe even more personal things like helping lockwood process the death of his family, lucy's trauma etc (their shared battles), all of that being left to be eroded by time as if it never existed, as if the thousand tiny moments that made up their relationship never happened

"you turned into your worst fears" -> come off it you know I'd die for you = his number one fear is LOSING LUCY which he does when she leaves. not exactlyyy the same cyz she's still alive but without him there to '''''protect''''' her (he is so that kind of bf) its one step towards this nightmare of his materialising

"tossing out blame, drunk on this pain" -> blaming himself (which is only partially warranted), acting so out of character, becoming even more reckless as he writhes with the pain of losing lucy, becoming more detached from the value of his life etc, almost manic in the haze of his agony

In conclusion, look at how lucy's tears ricochet. thank you for coming to my ted talk

also totally not thinking abt an au where lucy dies after leaving but before she returns because she never stopped loving him even when they were fighting

Including "just reckless enough" in season 1 hurts me so much because I just think about how show!Lucy would react when she learns how reckless Lockwood has been without her around

How many nights after Lucy left do you think Lockwood spent lying awake wondering if she would become another person that he wasn’t there to save

Lucy, sniffling: I am absolutely fine and I don’t miss Lockwood and Co at all

The Skull: I’m just saying if we started Carlyle and Skull-

Instead of giving us an adaptation of the hollow boy, Netflix decided to make it an immersive experience and let us feel the ending of THB isn’t that so cool???
