#like. the fact that lucy gets to be rude and reckless and irrationally jealous

gotta say i love the sheer bitchiness of everybody in lockwood n co. im SERIOUS.
#home cooked hijinks#lockwood and co#NO REALLY. i feel like so many characters in fiction are antagonistic for a bit and then become friends n have no personality ever again.#and they ARE friends. but i appreciate more than i can say that lockwood & george & especially lucy are good people#who are not perfect angelic saints to each other all the time!!!#they are jealous and rude and grumpy and insensitive in ways that feel intimately relatable to me.#the small cruelties and slipups of existence r presented in a sympathetic light that feels so rare especially for kids lit.#like. the fact that lucy gets to be rude and reckless and irrationally jealous#and the narrative never treats it as a sin or a trauma response or some fatal flaw to be solved so we can uncover the nice girl underneath#is fucking HUGE to me.#i see this weird attitude a lot about morally grey women in fiction where people will obsess and blorbify them for their Hot Sexy Evil Deed#but the second theyre just a bit nasty in an ordinary everyday sense they will get destroyed 4 it.#like. be so for real for a second.#irl most of us r not gonna be committing huge betrayals or crimes or murders.#and i LIKE stories about redemption for those things! i do!#but i also think it’s so important to recognize that not every wrong action has a grand sacrifice we can make in return.#we are all gonna be cruel in small human ways sometimes!!! it’s ok!! we just gotta be kind in those ways too.
