The Creeping Shadow - Tumblr Posts
Idk I just thought it worked for Locklyle
Why is no one talking about the fact that Lockwood wore the tie Lucy gave him when he went to try and get her back
Literally everyone knew except for them
still obsessed with how everyone in the creeping shadow is like “lucy left lockwood and co because of holly” like everyone clocked locklyle as a couple except for them (lucy)
"I think you keep me safe, if anything."
Everyone always talks about Lockwood's later confession of 'whatever time I have, I want to spend it with you'; no one talks about how this reckless, reckless child turns to the girl who thinks she's protecting him by staying away and tells her the opposite.
Lucy, who notes in TEG that his place is always between them and the darkness, keeps him safer because he remembers he actually has a reason to live.
This is incoherent ravings at best, I'm aware, but do you get it? Do you really get it????
I thought you died. Of course I tried to burn the place to the ground. You left. You left us. And when I saw you again I thought you were a ghost. You can see how troubling that was, can’t you?
So, yes, I guess I went a little insane. But thankfully you came back. Please don’t do that again.
— George, Holly, and maybe even Kipps (when they saw Lockwood and Lucy go to the other side)
”You won’t stick around too long,sweetheart. Not when you find out what he’s really like.”
— Quill Kipps
Lucy: proceeds to not stick around because she did in fact find out what he’s really like (reckless with a death wish bound to get himself killed, especially if it means protecting her).
They need to give us more seasons of Lockwood & Co simply because I need to see Kipps's face when they tell him they broke into the Black Library at Fittes
I can’t believe Lucy got the skull in the divorce.
I kind of like the part a bit after that in The Creeping Shadow where (spoilers) after they saw said Shadow and watched it pass while holding hands Lucy goes “what the hell was that?” And Lockwood responds with “The Shadow?”
Like… yes, Lockwood. Lucy’s talking about the Shadow. Not the two of you holding hands. But very cute. Love him for that.
LMAO He really said "What are we?" 😭
Exactly
I can’t believe Lucy got the skull in the divorce.
The closest I ever got to seeing you since you left was the cold bitter hallway that led to your apartment door. I shouldn’t have stopped so soon. But I did. I should have knocked. But I didn’t.
— Holly, talking about her regrets about Lucy leaving.
rereading the creeping shadow and between the show's "just reckless enough" and book 4's "once in a while you have to be a little reckless; that's a skill I learned somewhere" u should check out how hard i can cry!
Kipps is so excited to see ghosts again, bless him 😭
And that Lucy got him a tie
