Siblings In Horror, You Are So Dear To Me

I absolutely adore the clothes that Lucy wears. Just because there’s isn’t a huge range (which would be weird if there’s was since she came to London with a single bag) and also they’re unique to her style. She has a thick jacket for when she goes to cases (since they do get very cold) but also comfy clothes for hanging about the house. I also love the dress she wore to the ball as it felt like something a teenager would pick out. It’s suitable for the ball but it isn’t some massive ball gown or mini dress. It looks like something she could afford and would want to wear. There’s also no stupid sexualisation that sometimes comes with these types of shows where her practical outfit for missions may be on the tight side. It’s just clothes for a teenager that’s so clearly her style. Also practically all of the outfits are blue which I love. A small detail like a characters favourite colour being in their clothes just really helps to flesh out the show.

I also love the use of clothes when it comes to Lockwood. It’s so clearly his armour so when we see him without it it’s almost jarring how much more vulnerable and younger he looks. ALSO DONT GET ME STARTED ON THAT LOCKWOOD WORE PINK SOCKS FOR MOST EPISODES BUT WHEN THEY WENT TO THE BALL HE WORE BLUE ONES TO MATCH LUCYS DRESS😭😭. I just love the small attention to details

You know those characters who are so insanely dedicated and loyal to the main couple of the show they’re on?

The one that should be considered a third wheel but, somehow, they just belong there, by their side, and while others may question it, the couple never does.

Not once.

The one that is so ride or die for each person individually and the couple’s relationship that it gives you the most intense yearning/poly vibes you’ve ever felt.

The one that will kill for them. Risk everything to ensure their two favorite people are safe and happy.

Special shout out to Eliot Spencer and Walter Skinner for being the epitome of that character type. They’re the real ones. Best boys, fr.

Squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi I can tell that it's gonna be a long road...

Post-case night cab cuddles that were definitely happening off-page and Lucy just forgot to tell us about

One of my favourite scenes hands down

Something about... THIS scene

And... ngngnfnds it's something about Lucy not being herself // Lockwood being TOO much of himself...

The words are coming from Lucy's mouth, but they aren't hers; those are Lucy's hands, but she isn't the one using them... an otherworldly force chose Lockwood to be her scene partner here, and once again it's about external voices seeing Lucy's feelings for him before she knows it herself...

And then there's something about how it's in direct contrast to Lockwood, who is PARTICULARLY aware of himself in that moment... this is one of the few times we get a full scene of Lockwood stripped down to a tshirt+hoodie instead of his usual suit+tie number (my brain is buzzing over this, since I presume the suit is sort of a costume for him, with the purpose of masking his inner self/vulnerability)... AND ALSO because this is arguably the first physical romantic scene they share, and while he is clearly concerned and confused about her behavior, the fact that he is having to reckon with Feeling Something Else Too is written all over his face...

I know this take isn't super book-accurate, but it feels almost allegorical to this idea that Lockwood is the one who is being caught off guard and having to realize his feelings early on... versus Lucy, who is there, and she's participating in the dance, but she's also being stopped from experiencing her feelings to the fullest by something within her...

Anyway, I'm sorry this is an absolute rambling MESS because my brain doesn't quite have its thoughts together, but I needed to post this right now immediately, hope you all understand 👋

Screaming crying and throwing up

anthony lockwood + the hand slide

Hahah true

Sometimes when I'm cooking, I think to myself "would Eliot approve of this or would he have an aneurysm if he saw what I was putting in this meal?" Then I shrug and do it anyways because it's a win-win either way.

Literally!!

“first kill got canceled because it was bad” then why are there THREE the kissing booths 😭
