One of my favorite things about Lockwood & Co. is that they don’t shy away (in the books or series) from the fact Lockwood constantly has reckless suicidal plans.  Or the scene in Screaming Staircase (Episode 3: Doubt Thou The Stars) when Lucy attempts to jump in the well.  Or when Lucy mentions in Episode 2: Let Go Of Me that she feels she’d be better off dead.  It was very validating to me as a depressed teenager, and honestly gave me hope because if these characters that I loved could fight off ghosts and survive suicidal ideation and still live this wonderful life in Portland Row with friends, then so could I.

I just finished reading the screaming staircase and the difference in the cliffhanger ending from ep 3 of the show and the book is so funny to me

In the show Lucy hears the skull’s voice for the first time and totally flips out like gets all panicked and then put into a trance and then passes the fuck out

In the book the skull starts talking to Lucy and is trying to appear all-knowing and intimidating to her and telling her “death is coming” and she’s just like nope! I don’t want to deal with a creepy skull guy right now I’m going to go back upstairs and hang out with my friends :)

Alecto Prediction #11

We’ve seen through Corona that when people from the Houses join Blood of Eden, they receive a new Edenite name. We aren’t told who gave her the name Crown Him with Many Crowns in NTN, but I believe that we will find out that it was Pash. It makes sense if we think about which biblical figure Pash correlates to: John the Baptist. In baptism, a person is christened with a name, just like Corona was christened Crown. But John the Baptist is called the Baptist not just for baptizing the average Tom, Dick, and Harry. He also baptized Jesus. And we have a perfectly good lesbian Jesus ready in the wings to ask to be baptized.

This is why I believe that Gideon/Kiriona will join BoE and Pash will give her a new name.

#Gideon’s BoE name would be a cross between a biblical/literary reference and a meme #something like ‘I am the alpha and the omegaverse lawsuit doubt thou the stars are fire shawty got them apple bottom jeans #tlt pash #our lady of passion #gideon nav #kiriona gaia #blood of eden #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #the locked tomb #alecto the ninth #tlt #tlt series #alecto predictions #alecto theories #alectopause #alecto speculation

deep analysis of a very obscure thing in lockwood and co (bc why not)

Omg ok (spoilers for episodes 2 and 3 of lockwood and co, and also the books)

So the song that plays when Lucy is holding the ring in episode 2, during the experiment, that she says is Annabel Ward and her lover’s song (“it’s their song”), is Peer Gynt Suite No. 2: Solveig’s Song. 

The version I listened to that made me go “oh okay this is the same song” (after playing it through my earphones in one ear and playing the episode in the other and desperately trying to get the timings to match up to see if there were differences in the singing) is by Edvard Grieg — Yvonne Kenny, The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra & Vladimir Kamirski. From what I could work out, the song starts in the episode from just before the singing starts. 

The story behind the song is as follows:

"The long-suffering Solveig is devoted to Peer and she sings the song just as he – once more – abandons her. As she sits at the spinning wheel, she sings that although the years may pass she knows that he will come back to her – and that he will find her waiting for him, just as she promised.”

Lyrics:

Perhaps both winter and spring will pass by And next summer and the whole year will expire But surely you will return to me, I am certain And I shall be waiting as I once promised. 

May god give you strength, wherever in the world you may go May god give you joy, if you before his footstool stand Here I shall wait until you come back And if you wait above, we’ll meet there again, my friend.

I did an initial analysis and stuff and then did further research, so I’ve rejigged the document I had before to make more sense here :D

Story of the whole play:

The title character, Peer Gynt, is based on a Norwegian folk hero who is a rogue and will be destroyed unless saved by the love of a woman. 

He is described as a lazy and arrogant peasant youth who leaves home to go in search of his fortune. He’s very confident that he’ll succeed, but he keeps having disasters on his journey. 

At one point, he goes to the wedding of a wealthy young woman (that he might have married), where he meets Solveig. She falls in love with him, so naturally his first thought is to abduct the bride from her own wedding and abandon Solveig. 

Then he has really cool and awesome adventures, going around the world and gaining wealth and fame from all his different exploits, but he is, at the middle of it all, deeply unhappy. Eventually, when he is old and disillusioned, he goes back to Norway, where Solveig awaits him, welcoming him home and redeeming him. 

Annabel and John Fairfax are sort of foils to Solveig and Peer respectively, in that they are what happens as a result of a different kind of abandonment (Annabel’s murder). 

Solveig is what Annabel would have been had she stayed alive and Fairfax had simply broken things off in a more traditional sense (i.e. if he hadn’t killed her), and while Peer is redeemed and saved by the love of a woman, Fairfax is destroyed by it, because he twisted the love into hate. 

Now for the parallels between Fairfax and Peer:

Peer is a peasant with little success in life -> in episode 3, as they get off the train, Lockwood notes how Fairfax “came from nothing”. 

Peer has a series of unfortunate disasters on his hunt for success -> Fairfax (in the books), before the Problem, spent his time drinking, gambling, and getting into show business, instead of going into the family business. In the show this does not seem to be the case, but it’s a nice parallel that includes the books!

Peer abandons Solveig to run off with the bride -> I interpreted this as Fairfax abandoning (murdering) Annabel for his own bride, which is his desire for success. In a way his bride is the Fairfax iron company, because he’s practically married to it. 

After the abduction, Peer has really successful and fantastical adventures, very different to the disasters that he had previously experienced before the kidnapping -> after Annabel, Lockwood again (Lucy says he has a hard-on for Fairfax which I think is hilarious) in episode 3 (just before talking about how Fairfax came form nothing) notes that Fairfax “succeeded in everything he’s tried. Publishing, show business - he didn’t even start smelting until he was in his thirties. Now look at him”. Fairfax by his own admission also worked in casinos, adding another job (or adventure) to his list. 

Peer gains wealth and fame -> Fairfax gains wealth and fame (just dropping in “miss Kingston got her hair done special” because I love it and it's vaguely related)

And this is where the similarities split off from one another:

Peer is deeply unhappy -> Fairfax seems to be perfectly fine with his situation. 

Peer comes back home old and disillusioned -> Fairfax in a way comes home, as he ends up back in Combe Carey Hall (although this is not where Annabel was killed, it is still one of his properties), and he is old, but he is not disillusioned. He says in episode 3 that he doesn’t regret buying the ring, he regrets “leaving it behind when I bricked her into that chimney” and that he “knew it was monstrous. But I couldn’t throw my whole life away for one mistake. Not then, not now.” He still isn’t willing to give up his life, because he is perfectly content where he is. 

The final parallel I want to note is between Annabel and Solveig. While one was murdered and the other neglected but still devoted and in love, both women wait for their old lover. In completely different ways, sure, because one is sitting at her spinning wheel hoping that he’ll come back and see that she’s the right one for him (cue “you belong with me”) and the other is bricked into a chimney as an angry Type Two ghost that kills people, but both are waiting. 

“She’s been wanting to see you for a very… long time, Mr Fairfax” Lucy says.

Annabel is devoted to Fairfax, and as she dances and sings along to the song, he abandons her (kills her). while waiting in that cavity in the wall, and her spirit is bound to the ring/necklace, she is waiting for him. 

We see in episode 3 that when Lucy lets Annabel out of the ring, throwing it in the air to set her ghost free, Annabel doesn't attack the agents, or even Ellie who is stood nearby. 

She goes straight for Fairfax, because she's been waiting for him. Her devotion to him may have changed into devotion for revenge over the years, but she was waiting for him nonetheless. In a way he did come back to her, even if it was unintentionally, and he ended up being greeted by her one last time. 

He is not saved by coming home and finding his version of Solveig, he is instead destroyed, because his version of Solveig was killed along with any love she might have had for him.

Ophelia and Hamlet

It’s a bit foreboding how often Lucy and Lockwood get contrasted with awful couples. There’s Annabel and Fairfax. And there’s also Winkman and his wife. 

Finally, there’s also the shared symbolism with Ophelia and Hamlet. There’s how Lucy resonates with Annabel and mimics her actions in the bath, and even says, “I’m drowning, Lockwood!”, but there’s also how Ophelia was a tragic figure, a woman scorned and driven off the deep-end by her love for Hamlet, a byronic hero hell-bent driven on vengeance that leads to his own destruction. Yikes, Lockwood. (To make it even more perfect, we even have a skull!)

It's no secret I've been in a bit of a writing funk lately. There's been too much going on in my life to be able to properly focus on the second part of the Doubtverse.

Every time something took me away from it, I felt guilty, even if it was worthwhile pursuits like my family, my child, my mental health. Even for things like my job, things that kept me too busy and kept me from writing, or being able to properly form words and paragraphs, made me feel guilty.

I decided to use NaNoWriMo as a model, hoping it would help spur me on and get me back riding. I was never thrilled that I was only posting a chapter once a month or every six weeks.

Using NaNoWriMo as a guide, I'm thrilled to share that I have written 20,000 words since the beginning of this month. I have not been able to write on weekends, but that's okay. I have found other times to write, and other tools. On drives by myself into the city for work, I have been using voice to text. I have been narrating an audiobook of my own work, and counting it as writing.

To be honest, that is how much of chapters 10 and 11 of "Sun" have been written.

And throughout it all @no-c-riously has been a constant source strength and support and encouragement.

Maybe I'm turning over a new leaf, maybe I'll be able to get back to cranking out work the way I did in Part One of the Doubtverse. But even if I can't, I want to try and hold on to this feeling of pride, of satisfaction, of accomplishment.

Stay tuned. Chapters 10 and 11 of the "Doubt Thou the Sun Doth Move" coming at you very soon.
