Barnes: I raised five perfectly functional children.

Lockwood: *tearing up* You have five other children we don’t know about?!

Are we all just going to ignore the fact that there is an Anthony Lockwood gallery at the Archives?

I need answers.

Did they take a random room and name it right after the Fittes incident? Did they rename the Fittes gallery? Or did they wait until there was a need to build a new gallery?

Was there an opening ceremony? Did Barnes host it? Is there photographic evidence of him reluctantly shaking Lockwood's hand?

How does Lockwood feel about having a big golden plaque with his name on it?

Does he ever just walk around the gallery? Or does he avoid it? We know he likes attention, but that might be a bit much, even for him.

Is there a portrait or Lockwood and Co? A portrait of only Lockwood? If he does walk around the gallery, does he stand next to the portrait and wait for someone to notice?

What do they keep in the gallery? Only Lockwood and Co memorabilia, or are there other books/newspapers/photographs as well?

What really is a gallery?

DEPRAC ANTI GHOST-CRIME CAMPAIGN UNSUCCESSFUL

Mr. G. Fyre, London Daily Telegraph

Latest DEPRAC crackdown deemed lacklustre. We spoke to a number of those involved in the ghost trade about new measures introduced by DEPRAC to keep agents safe and reduce civilian deaths. Many were disappointed by the lack of transparency from the major players. Is it time we acknowledged that the Problem is not going to stop growing unless dramatic action is taken? Read more on Page 7.

New DEPRAC posters have been appearing around London and beyond, targeting those committing minor ghost related offences. While their sentiment is admirable, their effectiveness in an increasingly desperate and disillusioned population is limited. DEPRAC has been harsher these last few months on curfew violation but many of their supposed 'reforms' are not public knowledge at this time. "DEPRAC's new campaign to crack down on antisocial behaviour in London is not working in the slightest" says Anthony Lockwood, owner and team leader of independent agency Lockwood & Co. "The only meaningful way to decrease crime and make London safer is to increase pay and support for agents during and after their service." Officers at DEPRAC declined comment but one did recommend we take anything Mr Lockwood said "with a grain of salt, or the whole bomb more like".

episode 1 commentary - This Will Be Us

Lockwood and Co on Netflix

spoilers obviously (for both the books and the show), and I'm gonna put swearing even though I haven't written anything yet, I was apparently very in love with all three of them and also I was very feral about lockwood too (that's definitely a warning)

edit: definitely swearing, and also there's no context for most of this so if you don't know the show that well then good luck (and go watch it, it's really good!)

omg I just realised that the first episode starts with a ghost lamp and the last episode starts with a ghost lamp

cameron's voice omg

cameron's hands omg

I need to calm down it's like 30 seconds in

I love that before they show their faces they show all the equipment it really sets the vibe omg

"Greek fire, which should only ever be used indoors under carefully controlled circumstances" lol

don't think of another four, Lockwood, you don't remember the ones 6 you have

lockwood straightening up his tie and sniffing is so funny to me and idk why

I love that they use the shadow inside mrs hope's house!!!

"problem" being emphasised omg (I'm almost certainly reading into everything too much)

Cameron Chapman you beautiful beautiful boy

omg I just realised they switched lockwood and lucy's lines around??? in the books lockwood's the one who calls adults useless and I think that sets up his charm in the show so much better but also sets up their personalities much better? like lockwood is the charming smiley one that everyone loves, and Lucy is prone to being a bit of a menace

the way lockwood looks around at her after she says adults are useless 💀

mrs hope is so much posher than I remember her being

love that she just ignores lockwood and only talks to lucy

omg they swapped again, in the book lockwood is the one who says 'the cleverer one' after Lucy asks 'sarcastic or ironic?' - don't get me wrong I love this show so much but I feel like it takes away some of lockwood's childish-ness (idk if that's a word)? like in the books he's quite often just a silly little boy making jokes

his hands

I love that they have loads of green lighting

oh lockwood you silly little man you absolutely need chains

eat that biscuit luce (now I want a biscuit)

wooo ghost

yeah no shit lockwood

yeah no shit lockwood

"been too busy trying to make contact with the living" mood

"of course she is, she's dead" lockwood my man 💀

how the hell did Lucy manage to hold on to that painting I would have just fallen off and died

omgomgomg starting credits omgomgomg

ew mrs carlyle can go suck a dick

Lucy looks like she'd much rather be anywhere else in the world

ugh don't say that "gonna give me a smile, young lady?" fuck off

omg Lucy :(

I love that they show us the defences omg

Lucy and norrie omg

"the more proficient you become, the longer you'll live" how come that doesn't happen with lockwood then bc he's very proficient with a rapier but he has such a death wish

oh luce

"we'll be on the cover of every magazine" crazy how in the space of less than a year Lucy changes from being like lockwood and wanting to be "the most famous agents in the country" to not wanting her face on tv or on any papers at all

Marissa fittes? coming back? from the dead? whaaat that would never happen norrie don't be sillyyyy

THIS WILL BE US omg I never realised I always thought it was like 'oh, this'll be us' like George or lockwood saying that to Lucy when she first comes to Portland Row bc that's what people say when they're being walked back or something idk I just never realised it was Lucy and norrie???

is anything more lesbian than giving your solemn and binding promise to each other and then threading your fingers through her hair?

everything points to a type one bro shut the fuck up

"she changed everything" Marissa sure did

"closer to her than you'll ever be. closer to history" oh my dear Jacobs, you have no idea what lucy's gonna do

Paul you are so right you would love to meet George (kinda sad they didn't meet tbh)

Jacobs you prick

ngl that ghost sounds terrifying wtf

Paul don't be silly

don't be silly paul

idiots

Jacobs you prick

JACOBS YOU PRICK

what did Lucy trip over?

:(((( Paul :((((

no way that bastard didn't hear her screaming

JACOBS YOU PRICK

YOU DID HEAR CRIES FOR HELP YOU PRICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

can you tell I'm mad I was so angrily smashing that k key

norrie :(((((((

SHE DIDNT CAUSE THEIR DEATHS OMG YOU BITCH

omg parallel!! bc lockwood thinks he caused his family's death (especially jess') even though he didn't and Lucy didn't cause their deaths but she doesn't blame herself

"you are deader than dead" ooooo burn

where tf did she get that sellotape from

omg fittes building

is there anything more British than a really long queue

poor babygirl is hungry :(((

paused to read the paper cutting of lockwood and co's ad and I can just imagine lockwood telling George what to put omg "prestigious Psychical Investigations agency", "well dressed", "UNSUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS will include time-wasters, fraudsters and persons with criminal records" love the range there

also the address is literally just 35 Portland Row, London, like is there only one 35 Portland Row in the entirety of London??? apparently so

AAA PORTLAND ROW

AAA GEORGE

he looks and sounds so dead inside

omg it's so homely

she's a wimp

George wtf "see, told you so, okie-dokie"

heart eyes immediately lol (honestly same I love them both - the joys of being bi ig)

"hello, I'm Anthony Lockwood" hello, I'm your future wife

make the tea and drink the extra cup, George, that's what I would do

I love that he doesn't pressure her for the story!!! because he knows what that's like!!!

Anthony Lockwood chooses bourbons everyone

Skully!!!

George picking up his comic is so passive aggressive

are all of his family dead wtf?

he's so excited to talk about Harold beck

George is interested now ooo creepy cup

I love that Lucy and George immediately don't like each other

omg George's laugh

jokes on you lockwood's parents are dead (bad joke)

"deep armchair" I'm sure it is, Georgie.

"miss carlyle" bro

you can definitely give me a tour of the house anytime (especially your room)

"teen prodigy slays the competition" fuck yeah he slays

if you pause the episode and squint really hard you can read the article on the fencing matches he did and they actually wrote an article - my favourite quote (from what I could make out) is "Kipps attempted a few bold lunges but missed Lockwood each time"

also he looks so happy in the photo omg so baby

his hands

HIS HANDS omg I think I'm going feral for them

his smile ughhhhh

lockwood you're talking very fast I can't keep up

the face he makes when he turns the smoke jets on his fucking hilarious

literally this one:

also the way he stands??? I think I'm in too deep oh dear

"high security storeroom" sure honey tell yourself that

HIS SMILE

if lockwood was my landlord I don't think I'd have quite so much stress about finding a place to rent next year

HIS. SMILE.

"you saw those" yeah of course she did, they're in plain view bestie

"that's... if you'll take the job?" bro's so in love and he doesn't even know it yet (I need to stop using bro unironically bc it's making me sad)

HIS. SMILE.

can you tell I love his smile

George just spawning out of nowhere with no trousers on

if I didn't already know that Georgie really needs a wee I'd be able to tell from how he answered her questions before she'd even finished talking

AAAAAAA A A A AAAAAAAAAA

your honour I love him

ok but the apple core being left on a chair is such a boy thing my brother does that

bitch why do you wanna see his picture you've got the real thing right in front of you

ok but if he talked to me the way he talks to Lucy in the library I would simply pass away

"I want you to be part of it" OKAY SIR. OKAY.

"how do I know you're good enough for me?" cuts to him saving her life

he did not need to do that fancy kick off the wall but he did it anyway

okay but they hold each other so much it's ridiculous

why can't someone hold me like that

"ghosts don't have feelings" 🥺

"oops" lockwood I love you but you can't just break the circle

"you've done that already, try something new why don't you" 😭

oh no

fire

boy desperately calls out for his wife when she stares at a dead body instead of jumping from a burning building

listen to me, ok. barnes as a father figure not to lockwood or lucy but to kipps

#brought this up in the lockwood chaos discord and it's been peer reviewed and approved #like u wanna tell me barnes didn't see kipps grow up in this industry and help him bury a few of his friends. ok then #ofc i want the angst spin on it but then what about them bonding over lockwood & co being insufferable. what then #lockwood & co headcanons #barnes & kipps #quill kipps #montague barnes #lockwood & co

Oh my goddd, I only just realized that the first time Barnes comes into 35 Portland Row in the books he makes a comment about how ‘most people get by with landscapes or rows of ducks’ for home decor, and then landscapes and rows of ducks are what is described as decorating his house in The Empty Grave

[bookwyrm35]

You every wonder why Barnes joined DEPRAC? Well, anyone who's part of the organization really, but Barnes in particular has always interested me. Do you think he didn't have Talent as a kid and wanted a peek into the world now that he was older? Or do you think he had Talent when he was young and maybe when it faded he didn't want to let go of the world he'd known his whole life so that's why he decided on the career. I like to think that, if this is the case, then he also did it so that he could help agents like no one had ever helped him and his team. Maybe he likes the rules so much and sticks to them so strickly because his superiors back in the day didn't.

Maybe it started out that way but as time went on, it became more about the rules and less about the agents. Until, that is, the wonderful disaster that is Lockwood and Co. came along. I like to think that they reminded him of agents he knew back in the day, headstrong ones who never backed down from a fight. Maybe they remind him of comrades, friends he'd lost.

Whatever his past though I do belive that when Lockwood and Co. came along, they made him see once more what he was really doing all this for.

Barnes: Mr. Lockwood! Miss Carlyle! Cease your flirting at once.

Lucy: We're not flirting, Inspector. We're arguing.

Barnes: I can hardly tell the difference.

[loveverythingbooks]

I've said it before in the Lockwood discord, but I'll say it again: 'England' by Bloc Party is the perfect Lockwood & Co song, because it represents mid-Problem London society so well.

TW: graphic descriptions of violence

Spoilers for TEG

'England' was written after an incident in 2004 where a London barman was attacked on the street by a group of teenagers, and died. I mention this because I don't want anyone to feel like I'm erasing the original meaning of the song. However, what makes the society Stroud created so terrifying is the fact that it's hyperrealistic aside from the supernatural elements. It had always been an extension, if more violent mutation, of the world we live in.

The kids are restless They just need something to do

Agency life as an extension of the increasingly violent youth culture in England and other parts of the world. C21st teenagers are at a crossroads where they're mentally and emotionally treated as adults, and expected to navigate modern issues without much guidance, while being physically limited by their status as a minor. As a result, they fight back against a system they do not understand. In Stroud's world, this problem is exacerbated. Teenagers are given swords and adult responsibilities, yet cannot govern themselves or even keep the money they earn. Add to that the strict division of these teenagers into 'gangs' (i.e. agencies), breeding enmity and disjunction...

The streets have become cruel

He said, I will not listen, and I won't be told England is mine, I will take what I want

Everything about this is giving me Lockwood, and other agency team leaders, from Barnes' perspective. It's the other side of justifying youth culture. In trying to define their role in society, young adults act with impunity, as if the law does not apply to them.

They stood on his fingers Kicked the back of his head like a ball

Clearly about the London barman, but if you want an in-universe reading: George being attacked in TEG.

She said, I will not listen, and I won't be told England is mine, I will take what I want She said, I will not listen, and I won't be told We will make up our own rules

From violent youth culture to youth in a violent culture.

I'm waiting for something cruel To happen

Again, agents from Barnes' perspective. Possibly voiced by Lucy. Not Lockwood and Lucy as individual people, but as representatives of the little agency that gives Barnes so much trouble, as well as 'kids these days' and agency life in general.
