“How do you know you ship them?”

When I see them together, a noise comes out of my mouth and it sounds like a dying horse.

the way that jonathan stroud wrote lucy and lockwood as characters that directly parallel each other in everything!!! she Listens and he Sees. he’s the title character and she’s the narrator. she has this great power and he wants to build a great agency. when apart she’s just as reckless as he is. even down to their likes and dislikes: she hates orange juice pulp and he loves it if only to pretend he’s a whale. she leaves to protect him and he comes back to protect her. she wants to communicate with ghosts and he wants to fight them. they have matching white streaks!!!! they are the most alike and the most different and that is why they work. literally no one has ever created such a compelling relationship with such compelling characters!!!!

#and for a MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADE book series no less!!!!!! #i mean it when i say they are the natural successors to percabeth #cause WHO else is doing it like them??? NO ONE #lockwood and co #anthony lockwood #lucy carlyle #locklyle #text #userevaz #book: lockwood and co #otp: just an associate

A mini Locklyle sketch in between more Lockwood and co sketches

I can't decide whether Lockwood would be all smug if he actually remembers or found out about the his-head-cradled-gently-in-Lucy's-lap thing or if he'd just panic about the implications of Lucy gently stroking his cheekbone like that

#let's be honest probably both #thinking fondly of that part in the books #where lockwood assumes lucy or holly was holding his head #and lucy says it was george #lockwood & co #lockwood and co #anthony lockwood #lucy carlyle #locklyle

Listen, book!Lockwood who is so repressed that it just translates to beaming smiles has a special place in my heart, but at the same time I cannot stress how much I appreciate the live action series for showing us unbelievably exhausted Lockwood who’s so obviously scared that Lucy and George will eventually leave (willingly or otherwise) but still has the gall to push them away. My boy was barely pulling it together. And ofc he would be so tired that the bags under his eyes are so prominent because we’re outside of Lucy’s POV now. Lucy who’s always had rose-colored glasses when it comes to him.

Speaking of Lucy, I really do love how she calls him out. She’s so aggressive with her love. It’s like she’s demanding that George and her will love and care for him and there’s absolutely nothing Lockwood can do about it so he just better shut up and take it. Peak found family right there.

How that scene where Lockwood comes to apologize to Lucy in the kitchen had so much ‘husband in the doghouse’ vibes, and how ultimately what Lucy is really mad about is just her wanting Lockwood to value his life more. And for Lockwood to outright admit that yeah he was a bit suicidal but it’s a bit like he found a new reason for living because of Lucy and George, again I say PEAK FOUND FAMILY, this is my jam. The ease of which Lucy being Lucy calms him down. (Ugh, again the domesticity of choosing egg cups). He can’t stand when she’s mad at him and he learns about apologizing properly this time around, but when she wordlessly forgives him, you can see on his face how he could fall so quickly and deeply in love with her. That’s one thing I love so much about the live action series. While the book showed us more of Lucy’s feelings for Lockwood, I actually think the series highlights Lockwood’s feelings more in that if I hadn’t read the books beforehand, I could have easily seen it as Lockwood falling first. His abandonment issues are so prominent in the series and while they play it with humor with Fittes and Kipps, you can just see that desperation behind the lighthearted tone, and for Lucy to say that she chooses Lockwood and George anyway….!

This is basically an excuse to ramble about the little things they add in the series that I love so much, which works because we’re not restricted to Lucy’s POV, in no particular order:

How Flo can immediately see how Lockwood feels about Lucy because of the effect she has on him. Prior to that statement, she’d only met Lucy once before, but that brief meeting told her everything she needed to know. She probably knew Lockwood in the aftermath of his family’s death, so for her to see Lockwood just buttering someone’s else toast for them and being all domestic and smiley, treating another person like a family member especially considering how guarded he is, she must have thought (and rightly so) that meeting Lucy made him have an appetite for life again.

We actually get to see Fittes’ and Lockwood’s side of the fight! And it was awesome. “I’m Anthony bloody Lockwood.” I can no longer remember if that line was in the book or not but idc I love it.

George and Lucy’s scene was in the book, but the acting in the series just really sold it for me. How Lucy’s heart just broke hearing George talk about himself, especially everything he said then were feelings I’m sure she’s also had about herself. I seriously loved that last episode. George and Lucy were adorable. Again I say, found family ftw.

The rise of the Flo x George ship! “You, me, and herons!” Again I say, adorable.

There are some elements that work better in book format, but in many ways the tv series really did elevate this beloved book series. It was a wonderful, wonderful adaptation. As a reader, I couldn’t be more satisfied. As a shipper, I couldn’t be more ecstatic.

[wylansvanhendriks]

there’s actually something so personal about how bc the books are from lucy’s pov it’s very easy to tell how she feels about lockwood vs the show giving us lockwood’s perspective and making it very easy to tell how he feels about lucy

#cause like. homegirl is down BAD in the books #but bc it’s her first person pov it’s harder to tell just how down bad lockwood is #but since the show is obviously from an objective angle it’s SO EASY to tell how down BAD lockwood is for lucy #(also v excited to see this phenomenon happen with pjo too) #lockwood and co #lucy carlyle #anthony lockwood #locklyle #lucy x lockwood #text #userevaz #tv: lockwood and co #book: lockwood and co #otp: just an associate

locklyle (book) propaganda:

Lockwood is a homeowner at age 15 and he wanders around it drinking tea and charming people into giving him yhings. Lucy carlyle is a hotheaded aggressive and EXTREMELY powerful agent in his ghost hunting company. They both get shit done but in OPPOSITE ways. They have an interesting way of rejecting traditional gendered tropes- the sensitive dude and the bullheaded girl- that is both simple and INTENSELY complicated within their narrative, which i think qualifies them for the title.

she is the protagonist of the series, a once in a generation prodigy, the most powerful listener since Marissa Fittes, the list goes on. He likes to drink pulpy orange juice and strain it throught his teeth to pretend to be a blue whale

Imagine a buff kind of irritated teenage girl with a sword. No, shes even cooler. That's better. Now imagine a rich preppy guy. No, thats too much like Patrick Bateman. Think Artemis Fowl. Ok youtr there. Hope yhis helps:)

they are PERFECT for each other. she recognises the subtleties in his smiles and he allows himself to be vulnerable in front of her

resting 😒 face x resting ☺️ face. they both have swords and live in a house together (along with their other friend and a disembodied head, but that's unrelated)

Malficlark Propaganda:

Malfina is a sexy powerful demoness and Clark is just. Some guy. From Connecticut. Safe to say he knows a thing or two about good ol fashioned Connecticut hospitality and homemaking.

You know them, I know them, it's everyone's favorite demoness and blob man back to share their love with the world once again.

they're iconic

"I think you keep me safe, if anything."

Everyone always talks about Lockwood's later confession of 'whatever time I have, I want to spend it with you'; no one talks about how this reckless, reckless child turns to the girl who thinks she's protecting him by staying away and tells her the opposite.

Lucy, who notes in TEG that his place is always between them and the darkness, keeps him safer because he remembers he actually has a reason to live.

This is incoherent ravings at best, I'm aware, but do you get it? Do you really get it????

[desos-records]

has... has no one addressed the parts in the books where its implied that Lockwood's, like, had girls around before? I could never tell if Flo, Kipps, and George were just screwing with him to embarrass him in front of Lucy or what. 'cause it does contribute to Lucy's jealousy towards Holly later. And, because it's Lucy's POV and Lockwood's a liar about his feelings, it's hard to tell if he's just being Polite Charming Anthony Lockwood or not--when in reality, he's just being a Vain Teenage Boy about the whole situation.

but did this ill-fitting-suit-wearing sleep-deprived work-obsessed prima donna actually have the wherewithal, time, and emotional intelligence to even Be Interested in anyone before he got to know Lucy? doubtful
