what really makes me sad about the cancellation of lockwood and co is that there is so much we will never get to see. so many amazing moments, cases, storylines, plots. so many quips from the skull, and locklyle moments. so many shots of a very exasperated barnes. whole character archs that will never be fleshed out, never even discovered for so many — like quill and flo. lockwood’s backstory, george’s hilarity, lucys growth. whole characters we will never get to meet on screen, jessica, don, celia, holly. the problems source will never be uncovered on screen, we will never see jessica’s room, we will never get to watch the iconic empty grave final showdown. the venture to the other side. penelope fittes and marissa revealed.
so many amazing moments, so many amazing characters and scenes and archs and plot lines and dialogue and details. there is so much we have lost and i think we all have a right to be sad, and even heartbroken and devastated over this.
oh yeah we also all definitely have the right to be pissed off at netflix.
guys
can we just sit back and really take in the fact that lockwood & co was so good as a show, that everywhere we look, there are new people in the fandom actively going out and purchasing the books to read them? including myself, who didn't know of the books until the show released because i live under a literary rock.
but like, the show was good enough and compelling enough that it drew us all in and we wanted more, and we have it. we have the books. we can read them. and we want to.
can we bask in that? can we appreciate this? this amazing. this so cool.
idk i just find this so neat, you know? there's plenty of media that releases, based off books, and people don't go out and read the source material. but... it feels different with this one. and i love that.
I don’t know about you guys but I personally will be making it my mission to keep this fandom alive just to spite Netflix. I’ll do it single-handedly need be.

‘You shine like a beacon, attracting the attention of all dark things.’ It chuckled. ‘Why d’you think I’m chatting with you? ’
I think what always gets me about the scene where the double agent guy gets murdered is that while Lockwood is freaking out as anybody would Lucy is completely calm and clear headed and focused on getting out of there and I realized it's cause this isn't the first time she's had to watch people die she had to sit by while listening to all of her friends die in the first episode knowing she could have tried harder to keep them from going in so to her she knows that's what she needs to focus on and seeing how lockwood reacted I think just made her know more she had to stay calm for him since he was having to deal with that guilt of thinking his decisions caused this that scene breaks my heart so bad in so many ways
it's tentative, gentle, slow. she cups your face with one hand and holds your waist with the other. the two of you had been left behind by the boys as they went to the archive. lucy made you a cup of tea and the steam from the mugs heats both your faces as she leans in. you close the gap with a smile on your face.
George
it's a little bit awkward, his glasses bumping your nose. you have both your hands placed at the base of his neck. the two of you had been alone after a day of research and had gone for pizza. he leaned across the table and kissed you, a sudden surge of bravery pushing him to make a move after thinking of you for months. you're only too happy to reciprocate.
Lockwood
it's heated, his hands wrapping into your hair as he presses his lips to yours. the two of you just barely survived a mission, not having prepared properly. it just reminded him how easy it would have been to lose you and he couldn't take it. you were very, very happy to let him know you weren't planning on leaving anytime soon.
Here's a little something I drew to celebrate this momentous occasion 😊. I didn't even realize what a special day today was until I checked IG and saw the Stouds' posts and a few others celebrating. My mind immediately went into hyperdrive so not only did I draw this but also a few dozen little ghosties that I hope to transform into stickers someday soon. How did you celebrate our dear Lockwood and Co.'s birthday?
