lockwood& co show rant incoming so spoiler warning!
I really miss the funny parts of the book but at the same time I like how they made it a bit darker. it just made the stakes a bit higher.
ALSO THE PART AFTER THEY JUMPED INTO THE RIVER AND IT LOOKED LIKE LOCKLYLE WOULD KISS AND THEN LUCY SHOVED HIM AWAY OMFG GO OFF GIRL!!!
I also love the way they made lockwood be a bit more obviously struggeling. I thought people being more aware of him being suicidal really fit the characters.
I'm a bit worried that they'll make a love triangle between lucy, lockwood and kipps (altho I used to have a headcanon that kipps used to have a crush on lockwood but that's another story). maybe the kipps asking lucy out for coffee was just a way for him to manipulate her but if this is gonna be another typical ya show with a love triangle it will probably suck lol.
but all in all, it was suprisingly more accurate to the book than I expected! I was so scared that they would mash all of the books into one season but now I'm really scared that they won't make another season. so yes, stream lockwood and co!!!
me during the newest tge magnus protocol episode
Listening to the new episodes of my podcasts like:
someone needs to ban me from bookstores.
people will bring up the fictional murder as if i had anything to do with it or could stop it. like i’m not aware. “you know this freak KILLS people right?” man what do you want me do about that. i’m not his keeper. he’s funny to observe. and also not real
in general, I loved how the actors chose to play the characters. lockwood being a bit more obviously reckless and suicidal. lucy obviously still struggeling with how her mother treated her (mostly obvious with the "asset" storyline. In general, this show just added a little bit of spice to the characters and I love it.
Ali is bringing so much neurodivergence to George’s character, and l’m OBSESSED.
I always read him as a blunt person who just doesn’t mind being a dick, but like,,, when you add it to how Ali delivers his lines and doesn’t make eye contact— like he is making the choice to play George as autistic coded and have researching be his special interest and I just love that 😭
we should find new terms for these shows because they are not queerbaiting but they are definitely queerpaining
LUCY AND NORRIE HAD SOMETHING FRUITY GOING ON OKAY??
locklyle is endgame (duh) but the way they looked at eachother?? sorry, that just screamed "I just found out I'm bi and I have a not so secret crush on my best friend."
So they bring Norrie back to life, yeah. And who does she end up dating, none other than Holly Munro
I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry
Fine. Fine. I’ll tell you everything. You’re right. No one will be surprised if I turn up dead. They’ve all been waiting for it.
pirate the movie, like a true activist nerd would.
I think I just gotta start unfollowing everyone I see promoting and supporting the FNAF movie. Like Cawthon uses a not insignificant amt of his profits from FNAF to donate to fascist politicians. Dude literally donated to the Trump administration, that should be the ultimate cut-off point for you guys and it's pretty telling when it isn't.
“Don’t kill yourself you have to outlive the queen” is old. It’s tired. The queen is literally dead. “Don’t kill yourself you have to see annabeth take the knife that was meant for percy’s achilles heel in live action” is new. Fresh. It’ll take about 6 years.
I just made coffee with coffee. this is a new low.
