#yes we can all agree that he is touchstarved but that boy craves validation at least as much as he craves affection

I think it's a pretty fair assumption that Lockwood's primary receiving love language is words of affirmation, considering that in that one deleted scene, Lucy tried to diffuse the awkwardness by complimenting Lockwood's pajamas and he thought it an actual, genuine compliment and responded before his brain could catch up.

Not to mention he challenged Kipps to a bet in which the loser would have had to buy a full page ad in the newspaper and fill it with words of affirmation for the winner, lmao.

And as we all know, his primary giving loving language is touch. Though he is quite adept at acts of service as well.

You know, I'm starting to think that maybe Anthony "Nothing Good Comes From Letting People In" Lockwood's language is just love.
