Lockwood & Co. - Season 1 (2023)

"We're a new agency, been registered three months. We're accredited with DEPRAC, but we're not on their payroll like Fittes or Rotwell. We're independent, and we like it that way." "Who are your supervisors?" "No supervisors here. No adults. It's my company, hence the name. That bother you?"

Catch me exactly two chapters into the Screaming Staircase going "ah Lockwood is autistic isn't he" and it ain't even a question

#lockwood and co #his 'was that irony or sarcasm' absolutely SENT ME #idk what this says about my sister who keeps giving me books to read where that is my immediate reaction to one of the main characters but #unlike trb i'm actually intrigued by the plot so i'll probably actually stick with reading these lol #actually autistic #autistic

here’s the thing about me + lockwood content

before lockwood & co. i wasn’t really in the mood for editing. yes, i did come up with videos and photo edits but i wasn’t really enjoying it much. it was the same all over again. a new episode - a new video. don’t get me wrong, i loved the show (still do, it’s magnum p.i. i’m talking about) but i’ve been editing that for years now. 

every now and again a show was coming back with a new season. the umbrella academy for example. i did my usual “new season = one edit with number 5“ and then stopped (because there’s not really much content to use when there’s 50 main characters and you’re only willing to sit down to edit one of them). 

then outer banks came back, i thought “hey, time for a new rafe edit“. he wasn’t in it much. i didn’t come up with a video. fine, okay, back to magnum p.i. (which i still LOVE to death, don’t get me wrong, i would always come up with edits, it’s my 2nd favorite show now) but sometimes it’s nice to have different characters to work with. 

wednesday was released and i really liked that, especially tyler. i made some photo edits and a few videos (4 or something). and what then? back to the old routine? 

no, lockwood & co. was out. i remembered i had seen the trailer a while ago and liked it so i clicked ‘play‘. and look where we are now. i don’t know the last time one character has sparkled any interested in me and got me this motivated. a new one as well, might i add. i don’t do well with new characters since i always have to kinda let them get to me first, you know. it’s quite the process, too, when you want to edit. you have to get the episodes, the scenes you wanna use, you have to select 0.04 seconds from episode 1 and then 0.02 seconds from episode 8 because you think they could work really well together. so it’s a lot to think about even for short videos or photo edits (find the right episode for a certain scene, take screenshots, have ideas of what you wanna do with that screenshot, find good fonts, effects,…) i think you get me. it takes a lot of dedication (for me) to accept a character. and it’s not like i don’t like most of them. i like a lot. for example i’ve enjoyed characters from titans, fate: the winx saga, the sandman, hsmtmts and so on. 

so, what i usually do when i watch a new show is play it in the background. i don’t know any character - i’m not interested in any of them. i press ‘play’ and scroll through instagram or twitter. however with lockwood & co., i didn’t. i had my phone sitting right next to me but i didn’t click on instagram. i didn’t click on twitter. i actually watched the show from the first second on. for some reason it was very special to me, i can’t explain it. it felt like i had found THE show (and character) for me. the one show that could get me back into editing, actually loving what i do and create. and it did. look where i am now. 

i’m very emotional about this, i cannot even find proper words to express how thankful i am for all of this. i wake up in the morning and am excited about the evening because that’s the time of day i 1) have time to re-watch the show 2) read the books (again) or 3) edit. so this whole saving campaign is not only a matter of stopping netfl** bullshit with unnecessary cancelations, it’s also a matter of heart for me. lockwood & co. is my comfort show. i’ve found it after so many years and i didn’t even know i needed one but i did. lockwood & co. is not your ‘typical ghost show’. lockwood is not your typical good-looking, dick-ish protagonist, he’s way more. he’s the reason i’m doing all of this. i’m trying my best to help with whatever i can because they all deserve to come back for at least one more season. so, every day i stay up until 3-4am, get up at 9am the same day and i don’t regret a single thing. i wanna do this. and i know we can all help them get a new season, together.  

it’s been four months (and two days) since the release of lockwood & co. in these four months i’ve been the most creative i’ve ever been, i’ve met the most kind people on social media and i’ve never loved editing more than i do now. and all thanks to anthony lockwood.

#i don't think anyone will read this until the end but i was emotional #and i needed to write it down #i'm not good with words and mumble most of the time #but yeah i love that show #lockwood #lockwood & co #lockwood & co. netflix #lockwood and co #lockwood and co netflix #l&co #l&co. netflix #anthony lockwood

like i just do think it's objectively bad that even when you're reading incredibly positive reviews for netflix original shows like blue eye samurai and lockwood and co they're all like "yeah this is really good and you should watch it but there's basically a negative chance that this show will get a satisfying number of seasons or be able end on its own terms." that's just an insane way to run tv shows and yet it's become the norm at netflix.

#i'm not exaggerating i just read an article by someone saying that blue eye samurai #was the BEST show they had seen all year and everyone should see it but it STILL mentioned the high cancellation rate #and i cannot think of a SINGLE article about lockwood and co that did not mention that even while praising it #i just really hate this trend and i hate feeling like i can't get invested in anything #anyway i'm gonna go watch a tv show tha #pie says stuff

"'You shouldn't have done it,' I said. 'You shouldn't have risked yourself.' 'Come off it,' Lockwood said. 'You know I'd die for you.'"

THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT?????

Reading The Whispering Skull and I don't think I'll ever be over L&C getting canceled. It hits so much harder now reading the books. If nothing else, at least the one season it got led me to read these, I never would have found them otherwise

#if you're thinking about reading these do it #they're genuinely so fun and actually scary at times #if being middle grade books puts you off it shouldn't #they're better written than half of the adult fiction out there #I'm 28 and mainly read adult sci-fi/fiction and this series absolutely does not feel like a step down in quality or even subject matter tbh #lockwood and co #lockwood & co #booklr

I've read three Lockwood & Co books in two days (no, I'm not doing that fine, thanks for asking), and even though book 3, The Hollow Boy, just broke my heart in ten different ways, there's something that I find fascinating in the way Jonathan Stroud writes his horror. At first, when the team faces the Visitors, it's scary, obviously. Walking around the house or ground in the dark, al the ways a Visitor can manifest... Typical horror stuff. But then, with Lucy's Talent growing up, there's something that happens: the ghost isn't that scary anymore. Some are irritating and repulsive, but a lot are also, mostly, pitiful and compassion-worthy. Like, the Fetch at the end of book 3? Definitely made me tense rigid-spine and look around my room and over my shoulder when it started following Lucy in the department store. But when he faced Lucy in the room of bones, taking on Lockwood's appearance? I wasn't scared of him. Wary, yes, Visitors are still dangerous, but mostly feeling pity and gratitude. I had the feeling that the hollow boy wasn't really trying to hurt Lucy, but really to have a conversation with her.

Anyway, it's 4.50am. Should I start book 4 now? I want to delve back in immediately, these books are real page-turners! And now the real Locklyle angst has started, I'm deeply invested. I'm kind of surprised I never read them before, the first book is from 2013, that was exactly the period I was reading every single YA book I could get my hands on, especially fantastic/fantasy/sf (as always, then and now). Surprising that this series evaded me.

Spoilers for The Creeping Shadow

I'm sorry but this is basically Lockwood and Lucy agreeing to be together until death parts them and it's basically an official marriage at this point. These two will be the death of me.

(also this is a really bad photo and I'm sorry lmao)

#WE SHOULD DO THIS MORE OFTEN #lockwood and co #locklyle #lockwood and co spoilers #spoilers #the creeping shadow #IS ONE OF THE NEXT SENTENCES AND I'M LIKE -- #i love them #married since day one but this one makes it official #it's basically til death do us part and I'm like asdgjjkl #a penguin reads lockwood & co

[they-didnt-last]

since i'm on the topic of the creeping shadow, in the beginning of the book, lucy mentions that she and lockwood went for a walk in which he tried to convince her not to leave.... does anyone happen to have a fanfic about that? 👀

#it can be canon divergent i don't really care #i just want to read that conversation so bad #i haven't really ventured into ao3 because i'm scared of spoilers #lockwood and co

I just finished my re-read of the Inheritance circle and I'm currently re-reading the Percy Jackson series and I'm reading the Lockwood & Co. books for the first time.

I guess, I'm back in my middle school reading era!
