Something about... THIS scene
And... ngngnfnds it's something about Lucy not being herself // Lockwood being TOO much of himself...
The words are coming from Lucy's mouth, but they aren't hers; those are Lucy's hands, but she isn't the one using them... an otherworldly force chose Lockwood to be her scene partner here, and once again it's about external voices seeing Lucy's feelings for him before she knows it herself...
And then there's something about how it's in direct contrast to Lockwood, who is PARTICULARLY aware of himself in that moment... this is one of the few times we get a full scene of Lockwood stripped down to a tshirt+hoodie instead of his usual suit+tie number (my brain is buzzing over this, since I presume the suit is sort of a costume for him, with the purpose of masking his inner self/vulnerability)... AND ALSO because this is arguably the first physical romantic scene they share, and while he is clearly concerned and confused about her behavior, the fact that he is having to reckon with Feeling Something Else Too is written all over his face...
I know this take isn't super book-accurate, but it feels almost allegorical to this idea that Lockwood is the one who is being caught off guard and having to realize his feelings early on... versus Lucy, who is there, and she's participating in the dance, but she's also being stopped from experiencing her feelings to the fullest by something within her...
Anyway, I'm sorry this is an absolute rambling MESS because my brain doesn't quite have its thoughts together, but I needed to post this right now immediately, hope you all understand ���

A scene I really need to see adapted is the first time Lucy and Lockwood see one another in the Crepping Shadow.
One of my favourite lines from the series is when Lucy makes Lockwood a cup of tea for the first time in four months, she asks wither he takes sugar now, only for lockwood to remark that its only been a few months and he hasn't suddenly started taking sugar.
I'm not sure if the same for non brits but in the UK, knowing how someone takes their tea is kind of what proves you're close to them? It's an unwritten rule but for example, you know how your family takes their tea and you know how your friends take their tea, so for Lucy to turn around and ask if Lockwood takes sugar would've really hurt, as it only proves how much she has pushed him away.
We know from the books that Lucy is extremely flustered in this scene and only says this in a desperate attempt to break the silence not really thinking about the implications. It would be amazing to see Ruby running around Lucy's flat, trying to clean up, make tea and have some composure after being separated from Lockwood for so long. Lockwood though, he's been looking for an excuse to drop in on Lucy for four months hoping to salvage some of what they had at portland row, it would be amazing to see Cameron's devastation at this line, knowing that Lucy seemingly didn't miss him.
It's pretty subtle, as you can see below, he changes the subject pretty quickly but, I think it would be great to adapt on screen as it would add a lot of depth to their characters, especially since tea is something they used as a comfort in Portland Row after really tough cases.
Netflix?????? Pls??????

I personally really enjoy the slow burn aspect of Lockwood and Co. The pining and the lack of an actual kiss really cements how important they are to each other, and it makes sense considering the struggles and truama they have dealt with. You can tell all they know is the life of danger, and recklessness. And the more I think about it, the more I imagine them being the couple that certainly at first, doesn't constantly need to say I love you. They know how to show they care for each other on a deep level by their actions. It's impressive how well their relationship is written, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Simply my opinion, and there is nothing wrong with viewing them in a different way as well.
