marissa fittes is so unserious bc she saw lucy walking up to her, clothes torn, covered in sweat and blood and frost, freshly done ransacking her secret evil basement and then blowing up her trophy room, killing her right hand man and like twenty agents in the process, and that woman STILL tried to recruit her

what really makes me sad about the cancellation of lockwood and co is that there is so much we will never get to see. so many amazing moments, cases, storylines, plots. so many quips from the skull, and locklyle moments. so many shots of a very exasperated barnes. whole character archs that will never be fleshed out, never even discovered for so many — like quill and flo. lockwood’s backstory, george’s hilarity, lucys growth. whole characters we will never get to meet on screen, jessica, don, celia, holly. the problems source will never be uncovered on screen, we will never see jessica’s room, we will never get to watch the iconic empty grave final showdown. the venture to the other side. penelope fittes and marissa revealed.
so many amazing moments, so many amazing characters and scenes and archs and plot lines and dialogue and details. there is so much we have lost and i think we all have a right to be sad, and even heartbroken and devastated over this.
oh yeah we also all definitely have the right to be pissed off at netflix.

Gah I’m SO CURIOUS where the show was going to go with those Lucy/lockwood, Fittes/Rotwell comparisons (particularly with Penelope’s “I had that once” re: Lucy feeling safe with Lockwood). Since Stroud doesn’t really give us much backstory in the books (give us a prequel, Stroud!) they really could’ve done anything with it and I want to See It, DAMN YOU NETFLIX.

Marissa Fittes is an iconic evil girlboss with her evil emotional support ghost, which makes it way better that Lucy, with her morally dubious emotional support ghost, and hot, reckless boyfriend defeated her

There is something about that "You can't handle being my Tom Rotwell. Second best." quote
Because Lockwood and Lucy kind off parallel Tom and Marissa, I guess?
Except Lucy didn't let herself overwhelm with power and chose love and Marissa couldn't
And don't tell me, Rotwell and Fittes hadn't have some romance between them... I mean the angst around the problem
They literally separated and became founders of two rival agencies

Character designs from Lockwood & co book series .
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was inspired by the amazing art by @vryfmi and decided to make my own version. I wanted to make the design a little cartoony and simple. Maybe one day I'll make a more complex and detailed version, but I'm not sure. =D
Image 1: Miss Fittes and Steve Rothwell.
Image 2: George, Lockwood and Lucy.
Image 3: The Skull, Holly, Kipps and Flo.
Image 4: all the characters together.

there's an unasked question of mine that i had for mr jonathan stroud that i really wanted an answer, so maybe i can ask yall...?
we see marissa fittes who had such strong talent to be able to communicate with ghosts when she was young, but now she is definitely past her prime, yet she still can see ghosts.
lucy has a similiar power, so do you think she would still be able to see ghosts and have her talent when she gets older, even when her friends' talents fade?
please comment on your thoughts! :D

[MAJOR Spoilers for The Empty Grave]
@oceanspray5 asked for Lucy and Marissa parallels so here we go
Marissa, in typical villain fashion, claims that her and Lucy aren't that different and she's not entirely wrong.
They're both Listeners, can both talk to Type Threes, they both have close relationships with and, to an extent, rely on those same Type Threes (or whatever Ezekiel is), both have a male counterpart with a chip on his shoulder.
But that's where the similarities end. It's all surface level. Marissa claims that Lucy has the same fear of death that Marissa does, but she's wrong. Lucy stares death in the face until it flinches first every day, she understands that it's sad and scary and it's natural. By Empty Grave, she's not afraid of it so much as she wants to live.
There's a difference. A difference Marissa doesn't understand.
Lucy wants to stay with her friends, with Lockwood, in Portland Row, in this little family they've built together. Marissa has nobody. She had friends and family at one point, but she pushed them all away. Or, in several cases, killed them. She's responsible for the death and suffering of four entire generations (her own, her daughter's, granddaughter's, and the current generation). Not to mention all of the souls she trapped. Fear ruled her more than love did.
And Lucy feels fear too, all the time, but her love for her friends, her fierce protective instincts, her empathy for others, her own strong sense of self-respect are all so much louder than her fear. Lucy saves her generation and that will echo through the ones to follow.
Despite the bravado, Marissa is deeply insecure. Lucy points out the mirrors in her office, how her beauty is obviously important to her. Lucy has her own insecurities about her looks. A consistent thread in her narration is her intense self-deprecation, about plenty of things, but often about her appearance (the only counterpoints to this coming from Lockwood, but that's another post). She doesn't like her hips or her hair or how she often looks like she's been dragged feet-first, at speed, through a dusty, abandoned, mouse-infested attic because that's exactly what happened to her today.
But as insecure as Lucy is about all that, as much as it sometimes influenced her decisions, it ultimately doesn't matter. It does not out-weigh the things she does value about herself--her Talent, her self-reliance, determination, intelligence, empathy, bravery.
That moment right before the elevator doors open, when Lucy's staring at her reflection of herself, is one of my favorites. Lucy gives us the usual highly specific, but not particularly flattering description of herself. And then she says that it's nice to be reminded of who she is: Lucy Joan Carlyle.
What does show!Lucy say? Never liked mirrors, there's always just some stupid girl staring back at me. By the time we get to Empty Grave, she still has her insecurities, she still doesn't think she looks particularly nice (especially not when she's literally just come back from hell and had half a dozen ghost pillars dropped on her), but she looks like herself. And she likes who she is in a way that Marissa could never manage.
And that matters more than looking pretty and put together ever will.

Skull appreciation post (jumbled thoughts bc I just binged listening to the audiobook version of Jonathan Stroud's Lockwood & Co. series)
I love how powerful Skull is. But first, some parallels (and differences) between the Luce&Skull and the Marissa&Ezekiel duos.
Marissa found Ezekiel when she was young. She adores him. But she also fears him. Tbh it kinda seems like he took advantage of her. They bonded. Maybe Marissa was always curious about what was beyond life, but Ezekiel's been hanging around her since she was a young child, and all the research she did? All the actions that led to the Problem? She did all that under Ezekiel's advice and guidance.
And yes, Ezekiel's a Type 3, and sure he's got a golden aura, and oh he's so special, but at the end of the day, it's all just appearance.
Yes, he's powerful, fine, he's smart too, but when compared to the Skull n Lucy combo, he's an insecure Type 3 ghost who was honestly kinda creepy and predatory and took advantage/really tapped into/maybe even developed Marissa's curiosity about the other side. He throws his weight around about being dead and knowing what to do to escape death, clearly calls the shots in his relationship with Marissa, and has developed a god complex of sorts in thinking that because he knows how to blur the boundary between the living and the dead, he's the strongest thing around.
Well, thank goodness there's Skull to prove him wrong.
I LOVE the Skull-Lucy relationship. My favorite part (which is very important) is that Lucy didn't free Skull because she needed him, she freed him because she wanted to. She made her decision after Lockwood had come and helped get things in hand. Even though she was confident things were in hand and didn't know just how instrumental Skull would be in staying alive, she freed him without any condition imposed on him.
She didn't free him so long as he helped her.
She didn't free him so long as he didn't kill her or any of her friends.
She didn't free him out of a tenuous trust that he'd be on her side.
Lucy freed Skull (I think) because something that had been dawning on her this whole time really clicked into place: considering the origins of agents, dealing with ghosts, capturing their sources, and just in general interfering with the existence of the dead (thank you, Big M, for all that), combined with the fact that she got a taste of Skull's existence what with being trapped in the other world (as Skull pointed out), Lucy's sense of empathy took over and she did what she thought was right. She let Skull go because he's got an existence of his own, too.
He's not an abstract idea or apparition, no, he's Skull, a thin, sardonic looking youth with spiky hair. He's someone who in life was awful, but spent so much time in death that he forgot who he was, despite being so stubborn about clinging to life, coming back as a ghost, and NOT crossing over fully to the other *dead* dead place.
He's got personality and endless ideas about murder. He kept Lucy company for the four months she was apart from Lockwood. He became her friend. He helped her in scrapes. He guided her back to life the first time she crossed over.
Maybe the difference in the Marissa&Ezekiel and Lucy&Skull is circumstance: Marissa met Ezekiel out in the wild. It ways in TEG at one point that there's an aspect of fear in their dynamic. His source list contained, unlike Skull. Ezekiel can cause so much more harm to Marissa than Skull could when contained in the jar to Lucy throughout the time they spent together needed to develop a relationship.
But that's not the main thing. Marissa depends on Ezekiel. Lucy is fond of Skull, but depends? No.
Marissa is basically in love with Ezekiel. Lucy? She's got Lockwood. She doesn't need Skull on that front.
Marissa is literally obsessed with golden ghost boy. Lucy sees the wider picture. She likes Skull, but he's not the end all be all.
But going back to appearances, well that's kinda what it's all about, isn't it? Marissa cares deeply about her image. And so too does Ezekiel. Why doesn't she keep Skull? He's rude. Ezekiel thinks him a criminal. Neither can see past his exterior, thus completely missing out on just how powerful he is.
And then there's Skull.
For all that Skull jokes about killing George and (honestly kinda understandably) dislikes him, he sees him for what he is - an effective researcher who doesn't judge anyone for how they look or behave.
Skull sees people for who they are. He sees right through Marissa's disguise as Penelope (side note, it is SO messed up that Marissa offed both her daughter and her granddaughter to keep on living, like his awful is that). He's perceptive. He knows about Locklyle even before they do.
But back to Skull's strength, which was the impetus of this long ramble. He gets out of his jar basically in disbelief. Because this is Lucy, the wretched girl who doesn't keep her promises to him to speak about his freedom, this awful living person who's left him behind time and time again.
But for every mistake she's made, she's also tried her best to right it. Every time she left Skull somewhere, she went back for him. He even got a heartfelt apology from her when she left him behind and Rupert got his hands on Skull.
This is the girl who looked past his rudeness. Who wasn't someone under the honeyed thumb of a different ghost. Who gave him a chance and let him out not because she needed him or hoped he'd be on her side. This is the girl who ket him out knowing full well Skull would do as he pleased and made her peace with it.
Because unlike Marissa and Ezekiel who are inextricably tied together and dependent on each other, Lucy is Lucy and Skull is Skull.
And when he does come to Lucy's aid, well, he's barely even exerting himself. I love him so much.
There.

ive had a realization
okay warning: spoilers for l&co book 5 (basically the whole series)
idk if anyone has said this or thought of this before but recently i remembered that when Lucy had the first conversation with skully when lockwood & george were in the room, she said it was so important because it was the first proof anyone ever had that they could talk to type 3s. She said everyone who ever claimed that they could talk to type 3s was declared insane or died before they could prove it. but lucy is definitely not the only one who has ever been able to talk to type 3s. and we know because of the skull (who is a type 3 obviously) they learned about the other side and about Marissa being Penelope. And we also know that Lockwood & co is the only independent small agency like that and that dosent operate like other agencies. I think that agents who found they could talk to type 3 would probably mention it and it would get mentioned probably to the adults. And in these situations, its easy to set up situations for agents to die "on a case" like Fairfax tried to do in tss. So I think when someone would claim they could talk to type 3s, Marissa was scared to being found out and would set up the death of said agent. (this also explains why they so many jars of them going down to the fittes furnace like the skull was gonna) Until Lucy. No adult supervisors, and Lockwood trusts her 100%. they never mention it to authorities bc it would be too much attention. So Marissa wouldnt have known about it. Until it was too late.
idk if that made any sense or if it was super obvious and im just dumb but yeah something j thought about the other day
