If You Like Lockwood & Co, Want To See A Second Season Of Lockwood & Co, Don’t Wait Weeks To Watch

The fact that articles about which songs are about who were published not even an hour after the album was released infuriates me. This album is so clearly about Taylor and her story; not the men who may have inspired her writings. Never has a Taylor album been so centered around her and her reflecting on herself and people trying to attribute which songs belong to what muse misses the entire point of the work.

Eliot: ... overconfidence will kill you faster than a bullet any day. Fear's good. Hardison: Oh, I have fear. And doubt. And really serious regrets. I should be fine.

nah since marvel is trending again I’m going to say it again louder for the people in back — canon steve rogers would never have chosen an “idyllic 1950s white pickett fence life” because the only place that man belonged was a picket LINE. the whole point of his character was that his work was never done. there was always going to be another oppressor, another bully, another person who takes advantage of the underprivileged for him to stand up to. from the moment he gained consciousness he, a chronically ill son of a working class mother living below the poverty line, used his voice and his body to protect & fight for what he believed in. I’m not sure there was ever a time pre-super soldier serum where he didn’t have a black eye. he could put the shield down all he wanted but he could never retire from being steve rogers — someone who never once turned a blind eye, who never once wanted a “reward” for his work, who never once abandoned his friends. this isn’t up for debate. this is almost a century of comic book & film/animated precedent. he may have been a man out of time, but in his words “it’s tempting to want to live in the past. it’s familiar, it’s comfortable. but it’s where fossils come from”

something is so incredibly endearing, emotional, and beautiful in percy/walker’s final narration of saying “if you feel like you don’t belong in this world, then you might be [a demigod] too” which highlights so perfectly the thesis of the books in the first place! which is love and home for people who feel different!

it’s especially important to consider the origins of the book being rick’s son’s adhd and dyslexia, and rick wanting to create a world which gave meaning to these facets of his son that society has deemed hindrances. so when other kids out there who feel different— whether because they’re queer or have learning disabilities or they look different— are drawn to that world, to have the material explicitly include you and welcome you into the world instead of spinning that concept on its head and bragging about how widespread its fame is and how it’s for “everyone” is so important and life changing. like, things don’t have to be for everyone! this media so specially dedicated to outcasts and outsiders and that’s what I love <3

Please god someone save Lockwood and co

My favorite part of the Lockwood and Co. series bad to be Lucy and Lockwood’s second fight. The dialogue and the cinematography is the some of the best i’ve ever seen.

The scene where Lockwood is approaching Jessica’s door while we hear Marissa’s voiceover :-

“Denial is a very human reaction when faced with new ideas. Especially such frightening ones.”

Just the parallelism. Marissa being 100% sure that type threes exist and lucy being a 100% that she can hear type threes.

It’s implied that people called Marissa a liar when she mentioned the type three, and Lockwood didn’t believe Lucy at first when she told him.

Not because he honestly doesn’t believe her but because he’s scared of what that would mean about Jessica😭.

Also before that when they were arguing:

“You’re not Marissa Fittes”

“Why? Afraid of being Tom Rotwell? My second best”

(Book Lucy would never go that far😂)

Like it’s such an obvious set up to future seasons where we’d get more Fittes-Lucy and Rotwell-Lockwood parallels.

It makes me so sad because the first season was an amazing building block for the rest of the show and we might have gotten so many more heart wrenching and dynamic scenes like this, but instead Netflex screwed crap up. Again.

That moment in episode 6 where Grover asks “Are we late because of me” Percy doesn’t answer immediately he pauses and he looks like he’s thinking and guys what if he’s thinking about the prophecy and for this brief moment he’s wondering if Grover did this on purpose cuz they did miss the deadline, they did get late, they failed the quest.

And he took Grover cuz he trusted him but now he likes annabeth too, he cares about her too.

And the thought of twelve year old Percy, the weight of the world on his shoulders, worried about his mom, lying awake at night, replaying the prophecy, wondering who it might be. Wondering who he wants it to be, who would hurt less and not knowing because they’re his friends, they both are, how could he pick.

I could cry.

One thing I love so much about the MI movies is that at the beginning they were just another bond movie. Replaceable female love interest, and everyone else was also replaceable

But with six movies Ethan managed to find himself a little found family. With the writers changing every movie it was definitely never planned. But then everyone liked Luther so much - so he stayed, and then everyone liked Benji so he stayed. Then everyone loved Brandt so he stayed. Then McQuarrie appeared and delivered and hell, did he delivered. And he wrote Ilsa and the found family was perfect

And now Ethan, who started like a second bond, a lonely lone wolf, now says things like: you life’s matter more then the mission. If anything happened to you I will kill everyone who ever hurt you“

I am a Little emotional

The warm lighting as Luke holds Percy at sword point because Percy trusts Luke. Luke would never hurt him.

Then Luke later betraying Percy in the very same woods and hurting him with the same sword as the lighting shifts to this ominous dark purple

i could write an essay on how the writers use lighting as a method of storytelling
