Currently Obsessed With Lockwood And Co. And After Finishing The Show I Am Now Reading The Series. I

When thinking about CC3, there’s one thing, in particular, I’m hoping for.

(No, that’s not true, there are many many many things I’m hoping for, but that’s beside the point...)

I'm hoping for the redemption of Danika and her friendship with Bryce. I loved their relationship; friendship but more, love but not romantic or sexual. I want to see more examples of these. That it's possible to have your friend as the most important person in your life.

It guts me whenever I think about how this friendship was undermined by all the secrets Danika kept. So what I'm hoping for is an explanation, something to set this right. No idea how, but just... please...?

There's something so special about the first book of some teen series. The Darkest Minds? It was a found family road trip before the shit hit the fan. One of the most comfortable things I'd ever read as a 14 year old. The Raven Boys? Youthful shenanigans with a side of magical ulterior motives. The Thief? A Good Girls Guide to Murder? Cinder? Percy Jackson? By the time you get to the end of almost any series you're so far in that you forget they were ever kids and that it was ever okay and that anything was ever unimportant. But the magical thing about the first book is that for just a brief moment nothing is deep and very little is complicated and everything hurts less than it will in the future.

My all time favorite quotes of Hardison and Elliot showing support for Parker (S02E13 - the Future Job)

Tara: “He is good.”

Hardison: “He should be shot.”

Parker: “…cut off his arms. And his head. Yeah, I wanna kill him. Can we make that happen?”

Elliot: “Yeah, I can. I mean, I could…” (heavily implies murder)

I’m crying 😭😭 he trusts them so fucking much

Watching The Corkscrew Job and just ...

Eliot trusting Parker and Hardison enough to go into a situation where he's about to have no oxygen. He would hear over the comms that they're facing down henchmen who are trying to stop them. He doesn't know how long it'll take for them to get air flow happening again.

But there's an innocent person to protect and he has faith in his partners. Faith enough to willingly risk his life time and time again - not just in this instance, but all the others we see over the course of the show. Because Eliot knows that Parker and Hardison will do whatever it takes to protect him, just as he protects them.

There's just something so profound about not even having enough air to draw breath - but it doesn't matter, because you know your partners are out there, fighting to get that next breath to you. And it might take longer than expected. It might not go smoothly, hell, it might not even work at all. But it doesn't matter because your faith in these people is greater than the instincts screaming for oxygen.

Eliot can't breathe without them. But he's used to that - he's been living this way for years already. So he holds his breath and trusts.

I’m crying 😂😂

This grown man has beef with a child in a suit

God damn it I was slowly moving on from Lockwood and co. The pain is back again 😭😭

One of the things I love most about Lockwood is that he is the textbook example of the "one who is scared to love" but instead of being extremely cold and callous all the time like your normal tragic backstory male mc, he can't stop himself from loving.

The thing is, we know he tries. (See THB). He tries to keep everyone at a distance, tries to be cold and calculating, but he can't do it. He wants to be Sherlock Holmes, highly functioning sociopath, but he can't do it.

And it shows up in the smallest ways: how immediately understanding he is of Lucy when she doesn't want to explain what happened at Jacobs' even though he is interviewing her for a job. How he stood up for the bratty nightwatch kid when Ned was bullying him, simply because he didn't like watching someone smaller get picked on. Or when he mercifully changed the bet with Kipps, because at the end of the day it was a petty bet to begin with, and they had just been through so much together, and honestly it didn't matter anymore. There was no reason to humilate anyone. How he will always protect another agent, even if they are Fittes. Heck, he even stands up for the Fittes' agents, saying "they're just kids like us." It's the adults he has beef with.

Lucy mentions that any news of a death by ghost-touch weighs on Lockwood. He is incredibly patient with Danny Skinner and perturbed that a kid this young is in his living room alone.

All three of them think of Lucy as the one with the bleeding heart. She's a Listener, a feeler, the one who is most affected by the past suffering of the ghosts. But that's for the dead.

Lockwood is a bleeding heart for the living. He tries not to be. He hates it. Because caring means risking hurt. Caring means you can lose what you care about. But for as hard as he tries to pretend he doesn't, for as good as he is at acting like nothing can phase him, it does.

Lockwood is scared of loving. But he can't stop.

I honestly love it so much. It makes me feel grounded and safe.

You better believe I have watched the entirety of Lockwood and Co three times. I’m absolutely enamored with this show. What a love letter to the original content. What an incredible adaptation. So yes, I’m gonna be streaming this show in the background for the next month because everybody involved in this deserves another season. The actors and crew have earned it and the fans have too.

I will go feral if we don’t get to see Hollow Boy and Creeping Shadow adapted now. Can you fricken imagine

This album is about how two men broke her heart just months apart and how she was quite literally going through a mental breakdown while trying to put on a front while performing for millions of people on a world tour but you wouldn’t know that because you’re either so caught up in trying to figure out who each song is about or your so caught up in your hate for her that you’d rather make fun of her in her most vulnerable, raw, and honest state just to make yourself feel better

Wet cat vibes😂😂

Only a few episodes in and love him already

okay i thought i’d try night agent and i’m so endeared by peter
