since @thedonutdeliverygirl and @jesslockwood were asking artists to do some lockwood and co tattoo designs I thought I'd finally draw the trios rapiers! Its an idea that's been knocking around my head forever so:
Tumblr media
lets break it down!
Tumblr media
First up is Lucy's rapier! I wanted the design to reflect a traditional fencing rapier. Very utilitarian and heavy hitting since she's the type of fighter who banks more on brute strength then technique.
Tumblr media
Second is Georges rapier! I wanted this sword to reflect more historical references of rapiers (I did the smallest google search so if it's inaccurate my bad) because he's definitely the type of guy to commission something historically accurate.
Tumblr media
Last but definitely not least is Lockwoods rapier! He's absolutely the kind of guy to have a very intricate and elegant weapon. The cage around the hilt being use to trap an opponent's blade and disarm them, he very much relies of technique rather then brute force.
Might do more of these little tattoo designs later if i'm feeling it ;) who knows!!

Lockwood reread commentary pt. 2:
Now that I’m closer to Kipps’ age than Lucy’s, I find the idea of him at 20-22ish having to babysit manage a team of roughly 15-17 year olds kind of hilarious. He’s really just a young adult trying to figure out his life and then there’s this team of grimy children pulling insane stunts and roasting him at every turn. But at the same time he’s the closest thing to an adult they’ll trust and they’re also his only friends so he has to stick around and try to keep them alive.
Lockwood & co: *does something outrageously illegal*
Quill Kipps, old enough to have a consciousness: this is fine

Just imagine the third season of L&Co begins with George and Lockwood on the job, and then as Lockwood is about to do something dangerous he remembers Lucy' s voice saying "just reckless enough" and then he does it anyway because she's not there anymore for him to even try

I had always gotten vague Sherlock Holmes vibes from Lockwood & Co. I thought this was just associations with London and mystery stories, but then I looked up where Marylebone is in London. It's the very same neighborhood as Baker Street. It's where the Sherlock Holmes Museum is. That cannot be a coincidence, can it?
Which is making me lose my mind because the books are almost written in a Watsonian way. Lucy is the narrator and arguably the protagonist, but she also tells Lockwood's story. It's his name on the cover.
Like Sherlock, he's a bit posh and keeps to himself and altogether a good person even though he's got a bit of an arrogant streak. Ultimately, despite appearances, he's motivated by his overwhelming concern for others. He always seems to have the right connections at the right time (look me in the eye and tell me Flo Bones doesn't serve the same narrative function as an Irregular). It's not a one-to-one comparison by any means, but the influence is there.
One especially important difference is that Lucy is the one with the exceptional ability, able to sense things no one else does, which is a break with Watsonian storytelling because the general rule is that the Watsonian narrator never outpaces the subject of his story (this way of framing a story was very popular in the late 19th/early 20th century and served mystery stories well by having an audience stand-in, Poirot stories also use this approach).
Lucy doesn't do that at all though. Partly because she's an unreliable narrator. Mostly because she very much is the protagonist, but her and Lockwood are partners in much the same way that Sherlock and Watson are. And by that I mean they understand each other and they work better together than they do with anyone else. Lucy starts on rather unequal footing with Lockwood, but as the books go on, they develop into a true partnership. They protect each other above anything else.
Jonathan Stroud, please I need to know if I'm imagining things here.

When I heard people talking about the “‘come off it.’ Lockwood said, ‘you know I’d die for you’” quote from the Hollow Boy I thought it was supposed to be cute or romantic or something, not Lockwood inadvertently confirm Lucy’s greatest fear

probably spoilers for the hollow boy and the creeping shadow
that fact that before reading books i was pretty sure that the "come off it luce. you know i'd die for you" suppose to be something romantic. and now i just can't stop thinking that even if for lockwood it was just another way to show that he cares about her, but for lucy it was the moment when she understood that she needs to leave him

What hits so hard about the Aickmere case is the way it expresses that deep sense of discomfort whenever Lucy and George/Lockwood are not together.
Every moment in that warehouse is meant to drive home how vulnerable Lucy's sensitivity truly makes her, and seeing her so unprotected is deeply frustrating. Yes, Holly's pragmatic manner complements Lucy's emotional connection to her talent, but it's this detachment that keeps Holly from noticing Lucy's unease and acting on it accordingly.
The reader, right along with Lucy, is only able to breathe easy when Lockwood enters the scene, and feels the anxiety creeping back in whenever he leaves - knowing that Lucy is essentially on her own again.
The entire book, Lucy has been saying that she misses going on cases with Lockwood, but part of us interpreted that as her just being a bit nostalgic or territorial. But this is the moment we realise how important it is for an agent - any agent, but Lucy especially - to feel supported and secure. It's what she's been saying all along, from the first moment she met Lockwood: she needs someone she can trust; someone she can follow.
