Grave offerings and burying the dead with tools and goods is actually such a deeply human thing to do. It's not really even necessarily about how much you believe in a literal afterlife or them taking the tools with them. It's also just going Wait, I'm Not Done Taking Care Of You, let me make you one more pair of socks so your feet won't be cold when you go wherever it is where I can't follow.

writing tip #3827:

start

[utterlyunawarewriter]

Lockwood: Lucy is a perfect cinnamon scone who’s never done anything wrong in her entire life!

George: Never done anything wrong?! She set a city block on FIRE!

[utterlyunawarewriter]

I just want the person on pinterest who said that Lucy was You’re On Your Own Kid, Lockwood was Anti Hero and George was Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve to know that I think about it every day

[utterlyunawarewriter]

Oh my god, I've literally been sooooo inactive hereeee

“What if I write it and it’s bad-”

WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS GOOD? WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED? WHAT THEN????

Lockwood is used to bickering with Lucy. He's used to fighting with Lucy. But he's never liked her tendency to storm out of the room. And he'll never get used to her storming out of the house.

If he told her how it affected him, she'd stop. In a heartbeat. He knows that. She'd hate herself, if she knew. Knew how his heart lurches every time the front door slams behind her. How he can feel the blood drain out of his face. How (in case George notices) he clenches his jaw so he looks pale with rage instead of fear.

He trusts her. She wouldn't leave him. Not now. Not again.

Still, every throb of his heart while she is gone is a desperate cry—"please, don't go."

Because he lost her once. And four months was long enough. Four months, checking the papers every morning, skimming the lists of dead agents, praying he didn't see her name. Four months, wondering if he had earned himself a new ghost— but this one was still living. He wasn't sure which was worse: knowing your ghost is dead, or wondering when it will be.

Lockwood has seen many doors close. He is well versed in hinges and locks. After all, he kept a door closed for 7 years. They are not unfamiliar to him. On some level, they bring comfort. A hollow kind of comfort, consisting only in the knowledge that whatever is behind the door, whatever feelings it holds, can't touch him if he pretends it isn't there, but comfort nonetheless. Except when Lucy is behind the closed door. Except when she slammed it in anger.

No, he tells himself. He's not being fair. Everyone has to deal with their anger in some way. Lucy just needs to blow off steam. He can't ask her not to walk out on him. Sure, maybe it's not the healthiest way to regulate, but then again, he isn't really in the place to judge the relative health of coping mechanisms, is he?

So they bicker. And they fight. And she gets angry and storms out. And his heart lurches: "please don't go."

She always comes back.

“I don’t want to be a burden” you’re more like a relief, a gift, a blessing actually

Lockwood: Just look at Lucy. She's so cute and adorable, right?

George, seeing Lucy throwing a chair: Mhm...

thERE'S STAINED GLASSS AND LIGhts what the GUCK

Gingerbread project 2023.

I'm adding my yearly gingerbreadbuilds to tumblr, and 2023 it was Lockwood & co themed. It's a British style haunted Georgian mansion with tiny l&c sugarpaste figurines.

It's not as fancy as the tree I made this year, but the windows gave me so much trouble. The caramel kept slowly melting and I'm too much of a perfectionst to let that be. Anyway, enjoy this spooky bake 😊
