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:

lets break it down!

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.

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 I wanted this sword to reflect more historical references of rapiers (I did the smallest google search so if it's inaccurate my bad) because he's definitely the type of guy to commission something historically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.

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!!

No because I’m sorry but Lockwood and Co should be Percy Jackson level popular

George: I started off by making a map of all the ghost sightings that have happened in London during the last 5 years to see if there was a pattern.

George, pointing to a cork board completely filled with push pins: That led me to this. There are so many ghosts. No one should live here

In The Screaming Staircase, Lockwood is wearing those striped rich person pajamas when Lucy wakes him up. What I'm saying is that having him sleep shirtless was a Choice

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.

rewatching lockwood and co on a whim and while i’m still devastated it didn’t get a second season, the latin chanted by the satanic monks being wrong is really bugging me lmao

they’re chanting ‘mors gloria, salvete satanus,’ which roughly translates to ‘death is glory, welcome satan.’

now ‘mors gloria’ is fine, but salvete is the plural, meant for greeting groups. satan is a singular being, so it would more correctly be ‘salve satanus’

except i think the writers probably weren’t aiming for either - i reckon they were gunning for something more like ‘hail satan,’ and while salve could be translated as hail (which is where i think the confusion came in) it’s very much hail as in the old fashioned way of saying hello to someone in the room with you, as opposed to hailing a higher power that’s somewhere else. that would be better expressed as ‘mors gloria, ave satanus.’

i hope that makes sense, if anyone cares lmao

I finished The Screaming Staircase today and I'm amused by the difference between the book and the Netflix series

In the Netflix series, Lucy hears the skull talk and ends up unconscious

In the book, she hears the skull talking and is immediately just like "not my problem" and goes upstairs with doughnuts
