4th grade me is screaming and crying. My favorite found family got turned into their own show and I binged all the episodes without so much as a pause to even pee. I love the nostalgia of being reintroduced to these characters despite feeling like I’ve known them forever and they made the world almost exactly how I envisioned it when I read the books so long ago.

Lockwood & Co has and always will own a piece of my heart. I’m so happy others can enjoy this as much as I always have.

So I genuinely enjoyed Lockwood & Co more than I have any TV show in ages so if Netflix could not do a Netflix on the show and actually give me more it would be much appreciated

9 people you’d like to get to know better

Thanks @moonystardust7 for tagging me, I don’t do these often but this one looked banger

Last song I listened to: my Spotify says that it was Waiting Room by Phoebe Bridgers but that’s just because I’ve been trying to branch out from looping I Know The End (also by Phoebe bridgers)

I’m currently reading: The Whispering Skull by Jonathon Stroud (the second book in the Lockwood and Co series because I’m still trying to cope with the fact the show got cancelled)

Currently watching: nothing because I don’t have time for a new hyperfixation right now but I’ll watch episodes of merlin and some of my other old favourite movies on occasion

Current obsession: would also be bbc merlin, it always lives in the corners of my mind. As mentioned I’m trying so hard not to trigger another hyperfixation right now as I’m very busy with work but Lockwood and co likes to creep back in there sometimes. Also been getting into crotchet/knitting more recently?

I’m gonna tag @softbeanofexistentialcrisis @boygirlctommy @bigpapawalkingdownthestreet @firerose @khyrrn-v2 @marcskywalker @technolilly @adrianainthesnow @hyacjnthus

#me? active? #don’t worry I’m surprised too #I’m here to spread my bbc merlin propaganda and carry on my way

How threatening can ghosts actually be? That's the question that always frustrated Joe Cornish, a lover of spooky stories and horror films. "[A ghost] can make you jump or it can scare," the Attack the Block director tells Empire, "but in terms of actual physical threat, movies sometimes struggle." He mentions the possessed Reagan in The Exorcist, for example. "She can't actually do that much to you, other than terrify you."

In Lockwood and Co., however - a young adult supernatural thriller series of books by Jonathon Stroud - Cornish found a gamechanger. If you're touched by a ghost, you die. He was hooked. "Suddenly, you're in a new kind of ghost story," he enthuses, "where you can arm yourself against a ghost and use skill and intelligence and tactics to outsmart it."

Cornish's eight-part adaptation of the series begins with Lucy (Ruby Stokes), a gifted but unconfident teen who, after suffering ghost-inflicted trauma, joins independent start up Lockwood and Co., run by teenagers Anthony Lockwood (Cameron Chapman) and George Karim (Ali Hadji-Heshmati). The worldbuilding was another draw for Cornish, with the story set in the present, several decades after a ghost epidemic upended society. "The digital revolution never happened," he explains. "There are no mobile phones. There are still newspapers and magazines. Everything's stuck around the mid-'80s, and everything's still physical."

Then there's the ghosts' taxonomy. There are three types in the show: the weakest being type one, the strongest and most dangerous being type three. Each can be fought with different metals and elements. It was all too irresistible to Cornish, whose affinity with the supernatural charts way back to hearing scary stories from his family as a kid. "My uncle saw a UFO, my aunt saw a ghost," he recalls. If that wasn't enough, he remembers walking down to his local cinema in south London's Streatham to buy a magazine full of posters for Poltergeist. "It said on the back, 'One in five people will experience a poltergeist in their life,'" he says. "That scared the shit out of me. One in five? I thought if I escaped the poltergeist I'd get abducted by a UFO."

For Cornish, Lockwood & Co.'s retro setting was a way to channel his love of horror movies from way back when. "I saw all those great supernatural movies - The Exorcist, The Entity - when I was about nine. I just thought they were documentaries." Where the show differs is in its scarcity of jump-scares, instead finding new ways to amplify the thrill of the ghosts as they square off against Lucy and her partners. But don't expect the kind of comic creatures you'd find in Ghostbusters. These are some truly scary spectres, inspired by Victorian street photography and made to look like they belong to the natural world. In Lockwood and Co., you should be afraid of these ghosts.

#the fact that he seems so knowledgeable about the worldbuilding and passionate about the production gives me hope #Netflix promote lockwood and co challenge #I apologize for the person I will become when this show finally comes out #I also notice they changed George's last name for the show - not that mad about it actually; curious to see what they do with the character #lockwood & co #lockwood and co #lockwood and co tv show #lockyle and skull op

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

so what YA books you would recommend?

Ugh, anon, that phrase is death to my ears.

Generally, I do not recommend YA books as a genre. I know I talk about HP and Twilight here, but as a genre it's not something I can recommend/recommend without some ulterior, bizarre, reason such as Midnight Sun being a pile of insanity every other sentence such that it's essentially American Psycho.

However, if you're going to make me pick, here's the shortlist off the top of my head.

(The shortlist being books that probably, generally, aren't really YA but got stuffed into the genre for some reason or another).

His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman

The Riddlemaster Trilogy by Patricia A. Mckillip

The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathon Stroud

The Darkangel Trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I got some thoughts

I love a lot of information given like talking to Jonathon Stroud himself

and this bit

Q Were there any moments you really enjoyed recreating on-screen after reading them in the books?

A There’s a scene in episode one where Lucy gets interviewed by George. I remember reading that in the book and thought it was a cool scene. It was fleshed out and was given space. I think there is always that worry that it can be a bit cliche — the two characters meeting or, in this case, three characters meeting for the first time. Jonathan’s writing and the script were really good, and the characterisation was really clear.

Q That scene does sort of establish Lockwood’s character. I found him very full of contradictions. He’s very careful yet careless. He hands someone a haunted skull when he first meets them. What did you think of his character and did you find any similarities between the two of you?

A Yeah. I think I’m not someone who does “method” or any type of method. I think it’s really important to leave the character on set for me and my process. But, other people have different processes.

did not care for the interviewer saying take season 2 of Shadow and Bone as inspiration for season 2 of Lockwood and Co
