When Lockwood tells Lucy that he doesn't want anyone to mourn him after he dies, that he doesn't want anyone to lie in bed awake waiting for him to walk through the door, I just pictured Lockwood as a child doing that after his parents and then Jessica died 😭

[krash-and-co]

not to be insane about her on main but you know I never stopped thinking about jessica right. you know I never stopped thinking about jess lockwood

shes like. she's JESS.

shes haunting the narrative. she's haunting lockwood. shes haunting nothing at all, in the literal sense, which is rather strange. shes in Lucy's face and the way she stands at the door. shes got lockwoods eyes, or maybe hes got hers. she's burned into her bedset. she's burned into her house. she's burned into wood. she's a broken pot. she's a clumsy rapier. she's waiting at the apple tree. shes sleeping under her covers. she likes stickers. she's a kid, she's a guardian, she's not going to take off the baby wallpaper in her bedroom. she's clung to youth. she's forced to grow up. she's younger than her baby brother. she's the world. shes important enough to die for. she's important enough to live because of. she's blue and swollen and on the floor and dead. she's pale and smiling and holding her brother in her lap, immortalized, shoved in a dresser drawer because somebody couldnt handle seeing her face.

she's that important. she's that important.

she's a lockwood, she's a mirror, she's lucy joan carlyle and anthony john lockwood and a reminder and a child and doomed, doomed, doomed in such a way that she could save everyone else.

she's the boxes lockwood couldn't open. she's the right time. she's warm feathers and stitches purposefully undone.

in her childishly wallpapered room, she is sitting, watching, cross legged on her bed.

I like to imagine that somewhere in 35 Portland Row, just waiting for George and Lucy to discover it, is a photograph from when Lockwood was a little boy and his big sister's close friend, Quill Kipps joined his family on a day trip and Kipps ended up giving Lockwood a piggieback ride.

Proof of jessica lockwood x quill kipps:

1. Quill's bitterness

2. Quill calling Lucy 'Julie'

Lucy looks and acts a bit like Jessica, Lockwood had pointed out. Julie sounds like Jessica. What are the odds?

"My sister was like you in a lot of ways. Hotheaded sometimes, stubborn, but faithful to a fault. She looked after me, and I adored her." ~~ Idk have a very hasty scribble of baby Lockwood and Jessica lmao

[bobbys-not-that-small]

****Ok BIG SPOILERS****

but has anyone talked about how, yes the door to Jessica’s room is lined with iron and there is lavender literally everywhere and so many silver wards to keep the rest of the house safe from any disturbances

But the windows are blacked out to keep natural light away, daylight which usually drives away ghosts?

Something something knowing her ghost might be dangerous, something something but not wanting her to fade away

Me, every time Jessica comes up:

AU fanfic where instead of Jessica Lockwood dying we get her attempting to raise the world's most reckless child (Anthony Lockwood) and oh fucking shit Anthony when you made friends (George and Lucy) you couldn't at least have made ones less insane than you?

[all-too-unwell-13]

i've now started lockwood & co - hollow boy (book 3)!!! i managed to finish the whispering skull (book 2) and wow!!! the ending was so good.

but at the same time, omg. i never expected the ending of book 2, like his SISTER?? that's so sad.

and in book 3 when lucy describes what happened when lockwood took her into his sister's old room, i was nearly in tears. and how lucy describes the feeling of being in that room; no anger, no sadness, just solemnity.

she called it a 'place of absence,' and that's so heartbreaking because lockwood genuinely feels alone (with the exception of lucy and george ofc) but he's just on his own, in family terms, i mean. like he's got no one left.

i think that's another reason i love the trio's friendship, because they really are each other's found family; lockwood's parents and sister are dead, lucy's mum was horrible and george's family never liked how interested he was in the problem.

Jessica Lockwood

Because she haunts the narrative

[george-the-pumpkin]

Lockwood: Say one thing you like about me.

Kipps: Easy, your sister.

Lockwood/Kipps rivalry analysis:

In the show and the books Kipps mentions something along the lines of how “everyone leaves him in the end”. In the books we get the added note of Lucy hearing something in his tone that she “couldn’t quite understand” or something like that. As well as in the show Kipps’ comment about Lockwood in that “big empty house”.

I think they were close as kids, but given that he was closer in age to Jessica he was probably closer with her. Maybe they were dating. Regardless, I bet Kipps was on good terms with all the Lockwood’s. Anthony Lockwood probably even looked up to him. He might have even wanted to join Fittes because of him.

So (spoilers), when Jessica died although he was older, Kipps was still a kid himself. Again, if Jessica and Kipps were dating, I doubt they broke up. Not that I know what it’s like, but not being in a relationship anymore, not because of anything you or the other person decided, but because one of them died, well, I’m sure that sucks.

Basically in his grief I don’t think Kipps knew how to handle everything. Especially his anger. So he took his misplaced anger and directed it on Lockwood. Kind of messed up, but people are like that sometimes.

As for Lockwood I’m sure he didn’t know how to handle it either. What could he do?

But I’m sure what makes it hurt even more is that after losing his parents and now his sister what would probably have been good for him is having someone to talk to. Or check up on him.

That could have been Kipps. They both lost someone, but grief isn’t fair. And if Kipps was there for Lockwood, who would be there for Kipps? They could lean on each other for support, but given the age difference it would be on Kipps to be the strong one. But that didn’t happen. And the way they both handled it probably made them hurt more.

I imagine that over time, Lockwood started to feel angry towards Kipps too. That he felt like death took his family from him, but Kipps just left.

So when Kipps shows up in the library and says “everyone leaves him in the end.” I think that if Lockwood was a different type of angry he could’ve said “what? Like you?” Cause he was the only one who actually left. Everyone else died.

I think over time they worked through it on their own and maybe they have yet to have a proper conversation about it, but I think they’re doing better with room for growth.

I also think their rivalry has nothing to do with Lockwood poking Kipps in the butt with a rapier.

[the-biscuit-agreement]

AU where Jessica is a type 3 level poltergeist which is tragic on one level because Lockwood can't see her, but she is powerful enough to both hear and see what is happening in the house and desperately wants Lockwood to be happy so every time he and Lucy are sharing a moment the lights dim and Careless Whisper starts playing.
